In a room somewhere in the capital.
"Paul, you need to relax." Said a middle aged woman with white hair tied into a ponytail, blindfolded with a black piece of material, wearing a camouflage fit with a sword on her back. She was addressing Paul who can be seen pacing around the room.
"You aren't the one whose daughter is with an unidentified threat." Paul responded, still pacing around the small room.
"He isn't unidentified, he is human. His agenda is what is not identified." A man with identical build to Paul corrected him. He is wearing a military camouflage just like the other lady, with has a sword hangby his left hip. "And besides, I thought you confirmed his star level to be truly zero. Your daughter is also presently the one of the strongest force in the planet, so why are you freaking out."
"Issac, I am not freaking out. I am just worried, I did confirm his star level by using latter sense to check, but I can be fooled if he is a unique star since he will just stop the usage of his stars reducing his level back to zero." Finally stopping his movements, Paul said to Issac with a concerned look on his face.
"He isn't a true star, cause all true stars automatically suppresses all starred below their level. Even if he is a unique, to be able to hide from your daughter senses means he has strength relative to her. Higher level will give out suppression, lower level would be found out due to higher unique senses. Guess what, while the commander and the level 4 above personnel are still in the demon hold, your daughter and the mayor are the only one in the planet at the [ 4 star ] level, with your daughter having those treasures, she is the only one capable of stopping or stalling him, if he goes hostile, that is assuming he is hiding his strength." Issac responded to Paul trying to calm him down. Putting on a mischievous smile he continued. "And with the way he looks at your daughter in the hospital and fashion store footage, we can definitely say he isn't gonna turn hostile. At least not with her present."
"What do you mean the way he looks at her?" Paul asked with a new type of fear unlocking in his heart. A fear that he thought he would have to wait thirty two more years, when his daughter enters betrothal age, to feel.
"Oh come on Paul,you know what I mean. It is clear as day what the boy is thinking whenever he looks at her, and also I don't think your daughter would hate it." Issac replied immediately, adding a wink to the mischievous smile he gave Paul. He was happy with himself since he successfully diverted Paul's attention from his worries. But he probably won't be happy if he knew what he did was change Paul's line of thinking from 'I have to get my daughter away from him' to 'I have to get rid of him'.
Meanwhile, Jennifer, the white haired middle aged woman shook her head at the sight of Paul falling right into Issac teasing. Shaking her head gently, she said "Men, insufferable."
She turned to face the live footage of a 30 meter wide, 10 meter high vortex, the demonhold entrance. The demonhold is a miniature dimension which separates a world or planet in the universe from the corresponding world or planet in the 'demonverse'. And the vortex is the entrance.
The demonhold follows the normal rules of the universe, which is the same rule the demonverse follows since it initially originated from the universe itself, but we would get to that later. The only difference is the demonverse, instead of holding aura, the basic meta energy unit, holds dark aura(DA). No one knows why, it is part of the mysteries of the verse. What we do know is that the demons, despite having the same level of intelligence as the beings of the universe are way more bloodthirsty, irrational and morally inadequate. This is of course attributed to DA.
Going back to the demonhold. It is a huge dimension, very small if compared to the universe, that was split into multiple smaller dimensions. The splitting was due to the world shattering fight between the third [ SSS ] class mutant, Negar, and the True Founder(the anscestor of all demons). Negar came out of the fight victorious while the True Founder not only lost but was grievously wounded. Negar refused to finish off the Founder and let him go, before returning to his gambling den, continuing his life of a gambling addict.
Since then, the demonhold became an in-between of two planets or world instead of the universe and demonverse.
In an active demonhold, that is one in which neither of the participants from each side hasn't been wiped out, there would be two fotresses built, each in front of the participant's entrance to their world.
During normal times only foot soldiers are placed in each fortresses, that is level 2 (sword user, sword beginner) down. But during war times the highest commanding officer and his aides in each respective world or planet must be present.
It just so happens that the planet is at war.
"I hope everything would be fine." Jennifer muttered. She stared at the footage for a few more seconds before averting her eyes.

Somewhere in the corresponding planet in the demonverse.
In an room devoid of decoration, two humanoid figures, one kneeling and the other standing above a beaten up training dummy.
"My lord, the transfer is complete." Said the kneeling humanoid figure. It could be mistaken as a human if the long reptilian tail swaying at his back was cut off.
"Good, good, good. Job well done, if we manage to pull this off we would have a huge advantage over the universe." Said the figure the reptilian human was kneeling to. The figure has the same features as the kneeling one, except he is more bulky and apparently if we look close enough, we can see two upwards pointed horns, protruding from his chest.
"Yes sir, yes sir. I will be taking my leave sir." The kneeling humanoid figure said before leaving the room.
"The day we control both verses is drawing near." The reptilian humanoid left in the room said with a pleased smile on his face.
