“If you know what’s good for you, it will be best if you keep everything that happened here a secret, okay?” Lux said with a devilish smile on his face. “I have placed a tracker on your body, which will always tell me your location.

“Of course, you can also divulge my information to your superiors. I don’t really care what you do because sooner or later they will find out about me. However, if my information came from your lips, you better make sure that you hide in a place where I can’t reach you.

“I don’t mind if you hide in Twilight Rain’s Main Headquarters. In fact, I would greatly appreciate it if you did.”

The Half-Elf paused before raising the dwarf’s chin with his finger, making Sam look up at him.

“That will make things easier for me because I can bring the High-Rankers of the Kingdom of Gweliven with me in order to raid that place, and crush you bastards once and for all.

“I will also ask the King to invite the Saints to ensure that no one will be able to leave that place alive. So, if you think you can hide under a fortress and feel safe, think again. The moment I catch you, I’ll make you laugh until you lose your mind.”

Sam didn’t know whether Lux was lying or not, but he still nodded his head like a hen pecking rice in order to acknowledge that he understood what Lux was trying to say.

“I’ll let Shax stay here for a few days to keep you company, while I pay a visit to Lucius,” Lux stated. “If I don’t see him in Whitebridge City, I’ll assume that you warned him of my arrival. When that happens… hehehe.”

The Half-Elf chuckled and it made all the hairs on the back of Sam’s neck stand on end.

“I-If you like, I can contact him in advance,” Sam proposed. “I will tell him that an important client wants to meet up with him. That way, he will certainly not leave the city. We often introduce high-profile Nobles, as well as other influential people in the Kingdom to each other. He won’t be suspicious if we do it this way.”

“Oh? Something so convenient exists?” Lux arched an eyebrow. “Very well, tell him that I will meet up with him tomorrow at three in the afternoon. He can specify the place, and I’ll be there.”

“C-Can I make a suggestion?” Sam asked. “If I tell him that he will be meeting with a Half-Elf, or a Human, he will certainly raise his guard. I propose that you look for a Dwarf to meet him. The more influential, the better.”

Lux rubbed his chin as he thought of the influential Dwarves that he knew. He didn’t want to use Commander Thoram, Keelan, or any of the Dwarves from the Leaf Village for this mission because he didn’t want to trouble his Guild Members.

He needed to find a Dwarf that wasn’t affiliated with him, who had a high position within the Kingdom that could potentially entice Lucius to meet up with him.

Suddenly a smile appeared on the Half-Elf’s face as he thought of the perfect person for the undercover mission.

However, that person currently had a grudge on the Half-Elf, so Lux wasn’t sure if the latter would agree to his request.

‘Well, I can always look for others if it doesn’t work,’ Lux thought.

The King of the Kingdom of Gwelien, King Uther, was very grateful to Lux for helping save his precious daughter, Princess Anastasia.

If he asked the King for a favor, he was certain that the person whom Lux wanted to help him would have no choice but to agree, even if he still bore a grudge against the Half-Elf.

“Very well, tell him this,” Lux said after giving it some thought. “Someone named Nevreal will come to meet him.”

“N-Nevreal?!” Sam gasped in shock. “Are you talking about THAT Nevreal?”

“What? Are there other Nevreals in the Kingdom of Gweliven?” Lux asked.

Sam gave Lux a bitter smile before explaining to the Half-Elf who the middle-aged dwarf was.

“While the possibility exists, there is only one Nevreal that holds enough influence in the Kingdom of Gweliven to have an audience with the King anytime he wants.”

“Oh? That middle-aged dwarf was that important? It looks like I still have no idea who’s who in this Kingdom.”

Lux now understood why Nevreal was the one taking care of the low-profile Prince of the Kingdom of Gweliven, Robin.

“Very well, set up the meeting,” Lux ordered. “Just tell Shax if it pushes through. He has a way of relaying a message to me regardless of how far apart we are. I already told you this, but if you try anything funny, I’ll make sure that you will have the best laugh of your life.”

The red-headed teenager then left Sam’s Residence through the front door. Along the way, several guards were lying on the floor, who had lost consciousness.

None of them were seriously hurt because Lux had ordered Leoric and his Wraith Knights to just knock the living lights out of them to ensure that no one would be able to disturb his chat with the Head of the Merchant Union, who was also a part of Twilight Rain’s Information Network.

Half an hour later, Lux returned to the inn and told Colette and the others about his plan to visit Whitebridge City.

Naturally, the little, adorable, blonde Dwarf was extremely happy to hear her Big Brother say that he planned to meet with Aina in order to talk about a few things.

Colette was trying to find a good excuse to make the two meet, especially since her Sister was now being approached by many influential Dwarves, who were asking for her hand in marriage.

Some of these suitors were of the same age as Aina, while others were old enough to be called her Father.

For Dwarves, who were able to live up to 300 to 500 years, having a big age gap wasn’t a big deal to them.

This difference in age didn’t even hold a candle against the Elves, who usually had partners that were hundreds or thousands of years older than them. Tʜe sourc of ths content s Novlꜰre.et

If not for the fact that Aina’s family had a special tradition, she might have already been engaged to someone long ago.

Only the men who were approved of by their entire family would be able to marry Aina and Colette.

If Colette didn’t approve of anyone, no one could marry her Big Sister even if her entire family gave their nods of approval to someone.

This was the rule that their father had made in order to prevent his daughters from marrying at a young age because he was over protective of them.

If only Colette’s father knew that his own daughter was pushing entire mountains to make her Big Brother and Big Sister become a couple, he would definitely puke blood.

Fortunately, he just thought that Colette was fond of Lux because he had saved her during the Kobold incident. If he only knew how serious his daughter was, he would definitely come to Elysium and invite the Half-Elf on a fishing trip.
