Among the members of the underground intelligence network Black Dove, only those of the older generation knew what that coin represented. It signified the ‘founder’ and ‘absolute ruler’ of the Black Dove.

Unfortunately, the holder of that coin disappeared without a trace a long time ago. Because of that, Black Dove began to gradually fall apart. It was only after the dark elf Thousand Faces appeared in Norland and took control over Black Dove that the largest underground information network of Norland was reorganized.

Pluk was one of the founding members of Black Dove. Thus, he recognized the coin as well as the owner of that coin.

“I’m fed up with this city occupied by the humans. Living in the demon realm is much more comfortable for me. Being able to accompany Her Highness Cecily is my life’s greatest honor.”

The Black Dove was created to strengthen the position of the non-humans in Norland. Unfortunately, there were simply too many mages coming to Norland from all around to seek out knowledge. Because of that, the non-humans ended up being forced to a corner of Norland, a place that eventually became Squirrel Street.

Pluk sized up his friend that he had not met in countless years. Her attitude had made it clear what her identity was… a sentinel.

“What… would a sentinel from the Demon Realm’s Royal City want in this city?”

“Her Highness Cecily ordered me to bring her younger brother back to the Demon Realm.”

“Joshua. Joshua Annerlaude. He’s also a Chaos Demon. Do you know where in the city he’s hiding in?”

At the same time Pest mentioned the name of his target, her scarlet eyes stared at the Deceiver. She was determining whether Pluk was lying to him through the beat of his heart.

“There’s no reason for you to hesitate. Once I completed this mission, I can guarantee that you will be able to return to the Demon Realm. Those cubs you’ve adopted will be able to return with you. I will provide you all with a shelter in the Demon Realm. It is definitely going to be much better than this place.”

Pest made a promise that she belived Pluk wouldn’t be able to refuse.

As she was the founder of the Black Dove, she knew very well how difficult it was for the non-humans to live in Norland’s Squirrel Street.

What she encountered on her arrival to hotel Black Dove also served to verify that. If it wasn’t for her prompt arrival, that human merchant might end up exposing his race’s crude and ignorant nature.

“My apologies, Pest. I am unable to answer you that question.”

At the beginning, Pluk was hesitant to tell this sentinel lady Joshua’s location.

But, after Pest made a promise that there would be a place for him in the Demon Realm, Pluk immediately changed his mind.

The recent business of hotel Black Dove has been the best since it was established!

“It would appear that Joshua Annerlaude is your employer. I can understand why you want to keep the matters of your employer confidential. But now… bring me to him.”

Now that Pest had found clues about Joshua, she was in no heart to continue chatting with her old friend.

She was not fond of this city and wanted to quickly complete her mission to return to the Royal City with Joshua.

There was no trace of threat present in this sentinel lady’s voice. But, the blood within Pluk’s body started to solidify. If he doesn’t make his decision quickly, he might die from a heart attack or blood clot.

Pluk began to regret his decision in transforming his outward appearance to a human, a creature so troublesome. If it was his original form, there wouldn’t be a need to worry about a heart at all.

Pest turned her vision upstairs. Her obvious movement destroyed Pluk’s final defensive barrier.

Upstairs were the two Half Dragons and Gray-cat Beastmen children.

“Follow me.” Pluk stood up and said to the sentinel.
