Knock knock knock.

Helson blinked after hearing a knock on the door and started to focus. He looked at the Purifier.

“Please do whatever you need to do.”

Helson gulped and then opened the door after hearing the Purifier’s comment and seeing the gentle smile on his face.

The black Dragon had disappeared at some point.

“What is it?”

“Marquis-nim, his highness, the Fourth Imperial Prince has come to the door of the top executives’ office.”

Helson frowned.

He soon shuddered.

“Tsk.”

He heard an annoyed tongue clicking behind him. It was the Purifier.

‘Does he not like that the Fourth Imperial Prince has come?’

Or…

‘Maybe he doesn’t like that our top executives can’t even control the Fourth Imperial Prince and has to report it to me?’

Marquis Helson might be exaggerating what the Purifier might be feeling right now but he had no choice but to be concerned about how the Purifier was feeling.

The power this person had… The fact that this power could protect Precinct 9 was more important than the change he would cause in the future.

The Purifier commented almost as if he was talking to himself.

“It’s coming in the end.”

– Human! Choi Han and Sui Khan contacted Goldie gramps! They said that they felt a similar rumbling like before near the wall!

“It should have stayed quiet since it ran away earlier.”

He mumbled in a low voice.

Helson gulped. Chief Eaen could finally see the person the Marquis was chatting with through the gap in the door.

Cale started to speak as her mind was about to get busy with this new information.

“It’s coming.”

Marquis Helson realized the meaning behind those words and looked at the Purifier with shock.

The top executives’ office door burst open at that moment.

“Again, we received report that they can feel that rumbling again!”

The executive who had gone to the black mages shouted with urgency.

“What is the identity of that rumbling? Why is the Marquis not sharing information with the candidates?!”

Fourth Imperial Prince Noi glared into the open top executives’ office and raised his voice. He sounded as if he could throw a fit at any moment.

Of course, Noi could not see the Marquis’ bedroom.

“Let me go! How dare you try to stop me from entering?!”

He was about to enter the top executives office but the knights standing outside the door stopped him once the Marquis raised his hand.

The Marquis urgently looked at Cale.

“Didn’t you say that it wouldn’t come back right away?”

“That’s what I thought.”

‘It ran way so quickly and even cut off parts of its body to run away.’ Because it showed no signs of chasing after Cale…
