Axel wasn't one to dip his hands into conspiracy easily. However, this time, he was willingly digging headfirst into Queen Sharika's matter.
Of course, it wasn't because he'd become a busybody.
The reason was something more... concrete. A fact that was nearly undeniable, but Axel refused to voice out loud.
After Queen Sharika left, he turned to Fenrir and asked. "So, is that guy who was caught..."
"Yes, Master."
Fenrir nodded before he even finished his words.
"There's no mistaking it. That man... is a demon. From his scent, probably Greed's lackey."
Axel smiled.
"As expected. I thought his presence felt a little familiar, but to think there's a demon pretending to be a human in here..."
If it was a simple inside job among humans, sabotaging each other, Axel wouldn't care much. As long as he gets the required 50 thousand people in his counter. In short, as long as 10% of them remained, he wouldn't really bat an eye.
But now that a demon was involved, things change.
