There Will Be No Next Time

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Raymond Parker," Alvah, the Patriarch of the Gremory Clan, said with a smile. "I've heard of your grand exploits, and I am quite honored to talk to you face to face."

William gave Alvah a brief nod. He had expected that the Patriarch of one of the Major Clans, who the reigning Demon Lord's family belonged to, would use threats or intimidation to deal with him.

He didn't expect that the latter would treat him in an amicable manner, which made the Half-Elf click his tongue internally.

'This person is a schemer,' William thought. 'As expected of one of the Big Shots of the Demon Realm.'

Alvah observed the black-haired young man in front of him. He had been to several gatherings between prominent clans and families, and he was doing his best to try to remember the person in front of him, but no appropriate match came to his mind.
