"Hah... Let's just ignore her for now I guess. We are having something much more important to deal with right now. And if Sky and Maria have gotten everything settled in Null Dimension, you should tell me to get back here as soon as possible."
That's what Ben said upon knowing what happened to Grace.
"Ah... I see. But that's not really possible right now, according to Maria, Sky's current condition is not very well right, so I don't think they will be able to return here any sooner, especially now that Sky has deactivated the time perception curse in Null Dimension." said Chris.
"Yes, that's definitely concerning. Tsk... I guess I will get Holly to go and help them up in Null Dimension." said Ben with a thoughtful look.
"That's a good idea. Let me get someone from the Kingdom to escort her there. I believe Sachiro is a good candidate for that." said Chris, agreeing with Ben's suggestion.
"Mmm... That's very considerate. But seriously, I wondered what's the motive of that archangel for taking such a unreasonably big move in Null Dimension, I refuse to believe it is merely to get Grace in captive." said Ben, who was rather troubled
"Well, I don't care what the hell motive they have, if there is a second time, I am certainly going to destroy his clan for once and for all." said Chris with a serious look.
"That's harsh." said Ben, slightly disagreeing with Chris's words.
"Nah, not really, to think that he would even work with a fallen angel for his own benefit, I almost can't imagine how messes up things could be if I didn't place my precious chess piece there beforehand." said Chris.
"Precious chess piece huh?" said Ben in a questioning look.
"Well, basically it's just a waste for such a capable warrior to lose his shine to work under that ignorant brat." said Chris as he shrugged.
"Ah... I see. So those rumours are not just rumours after all huh? But don't you think it's a risky move? He might ended up becoming a strong enemy of the Kingdom if things don't go according your plan." said Ben who was uncertain of the decision made by Chris.
"Well... Actually... Recruiting him was never my original intention... But this outcome isn't bad at all." said Chris with a tiny bit of guiltiness.
"Ah... Why am I not surprised by that?" said Ben with a 'meh' face...
Yes, Chris's original intention was just to maim that angel of war, never would he thought that he would be finding a hidden gem because of his cruel and brutal action, and yes, instead of Black, it's Chris the one who put those deadly parasites into the body of that angel of war...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Null Dimension. Sky's house, living room.
Maria is currently having some important conversation with an unexpected guest, Camael, the previous angel of war, who was now known as Tigre1602.
"Seriously? Chris-chan did that to you? It's kind of amazing that you chose to submit to him instead of hating him to the core. Are you low-keyly a masochistic?" Maria asked, who found the whole incident as unbelievable.
"Not really, I did hate His Majesty a lot before I found out the true face of that archangel I had been loyal to all these years. Maybe His Majesty was just using his most extreme method to let me wake up from my delusion." said Tigre1602 with sincere eyes to convince Maria that he was lying.
"Ah... So Rei-chan know it as well?" Maria asked again, he was still in disbelief.
"Yes, Her Majesty is the one to lead me to the truth, I appreciate that consideration of Hers as well." said Tigre1602 with appreciation.
"Ah... Damn! Just how much else are this pair of couple hiding things that we don't know?... Anyway... Camael... I mean... Tigre, I will just be frank to you, despite I have confirmed it from Chris-chan, I am not very trusting you yet, so before you gained my trust, I will just treat you like how I treat any other angels." said Maria who doesn't sound quite happy mentioning that pair of couple.
Tigre nodded...
And yes, he probably doesn't aware that it's not Chris's original intention to recruit him...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, in Kapis Dimension, merchant guild.
Upon gatheing all the information they needed, Chris decided to call it a day and will proceed with their journey tomorrow morning as it was quite late, and due to the hospitality from the merchant guild members, they decided that they will stay a night at the guild. They were given three rooms, where two rooms for the men and a separate room for Ruby.
Just when you thought something is certainly going to happen with this room distribution especially when a girl was alone... Yes, you are right, something happened.
Still remember that man who got beaten up by Dark Prince after lying about the information? He is going to made some stupid move again...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
