The current hottest topic in Shalyh was the city’s acceptance of the Demon Empire’s survivors. This story was being told wherever one went, but as expected, the majority of the city’s residents had mostly negative things to say. Six to seven people out of ten couldn’t understand Seven Stars’ choice at all. Noel was of the remaining four to three. She didn’t mindlessly support Seven Stars’ decision, but didn’t disagree with them upfront either.

She admitted that Chi-Woo’s decision to accept the Demon Empire’s survivors seemed rather hasty, but she thought they needed to let the situation play out for a bit longer. That was the attitude that many had started with, and surprisingly, the human natives didn’t show strong opposition either. They gritted their teeth seeing the Demon Empire enter Shalyh, but they seemed to be suppressing their desires for blood as if they knew the situation couldn’t be helped. The heroes and the League responded similarly. They glared at the demons and demonic creatures with wide eyes, but let the issue be for now.

If the situation continued to progress like this, perhaps the city’s residents would become more accepting of this change as Chi-Woo intended. Yet something happened before such a day could arrive. With just one person’s declaration, the situation that Chi-Woo had organized fell to ruins. The culprit was the man standing in front of Noel.

What was the reason? Why in the world was he acting in this way? After all, Chi-Woo was this man’s younger brother....
