"We just reunited, yet Big Brother has to go away again," Colette said with a pout as she lay on the bed. "I am starting to hate that Dark Guild, Twilight Rain."

Helen nodded her head in agreement. "Not only did they try to assassinate Big Brother, but they're also targeting your sister now. They even went as far as sending an Assassin to kidnap you to serve as a hostage in order to blackmail Big Sister Aina into obeying them.

"Still, we were lucky this time," Andy commented. "Big Brother just happened to be in the city, and Eiko came to meet us. If she hadn't been there, the Assassin would have definitely succeeded in capturing Colette."

"I won't forgive those bastards!" Matty clenched his fist in anger. Just imagining the things that Twilight Rain could have done to the person he loved made him feel as if he wanted to start killing people. "If only I was a High-Ranker already, I would have definitely given all of them a beating!"

Emma, who was also in the room and serving as a bodyguard, sighed in her heart. She had once been captured by Twilight Rain, and they conducted many experiments on her, forcing her to become a monster against her will.

If Lux didn't come to save her, she might have already died somewhere—used as convenient cannon fodder by the Dark Organization that hid within the shadows of the Kingdom of Gweliven.

Everyone in the room looked depressed, but this depression broke when the four-armed hero, whom Lux had left behind to guard the dwarves, spoke.

"You kids are safe now," ALL-MITE said. "Why? Because I am here."

Everyone stared at the Unsung Hero, who was the strongest member of Lux's covenant.

Although the Wraith King, Leoric, was several ranks higher than ALL-MITE, if the two of them fought in the same rank, the one who would come out as the victor was none other than the four-armed Hero.

Why? Because ALL-MITE could increase his power exponentially, beating any opponent of the same rank.

"Your name is ALL-MITE, right?" Robin asked the Four-Armed creature who looked like Venom, and Masked R*der combined. A villain and a hero character that were popular in Lux's original world.

"That is I," ALL-MITE replied.

"Were you there when my sister got kidnapped by Twilight Rain?" Robin inquired.

"What?! Twilight Rain also kidnapped your sister, Robin?!" Colette, who had almost been kidnapped just a few hours ago, propped herself up from the bed and looked at the Dwarf who often joined them on their expeditions.

"Yes," Robin replied. "And just like today, they almost succeeded. The one who saved her was also your Big Brother."

"Amazing!" Helen gasped. "Even when we can't see him, Big Brother is always there helping people."

"Eiko, Big Brother is really the best!" Colette picked up the Baby Slime that was lying on top of her pillow.

"Un!" Eiko nodded her head. "Papa best!"

Colette then remembered something important, which made her lightly tap her forehead.

"I need to talk to Big Brother about my sister." Colette then looked at Eiko with a mischievous smile. "Eiko, can you help me convince your Papa to marry my sister? My Sister is very beautiful, right? Although she looks standoffish and doesn't show much emotion on her face, they look good together, right?"

"No comment!" Eiko replied before giggling.

The Baby Slime knew how much Colette wanted to matchmake her Big Sister to her Papa. However, Eiko didn't want to interfere with Lux's love life because she respected his decisions on most things.

Iris had also told her that there might come a time when her Papa would have more than one wife.

For the most part, Eiko didn't really care. She already had Lux and Iris, but having more people in their family was fine with her.

ALL-MITE, whom Robin had asked a question of earlier, shook his head to answer the Dwarf Prince, who was hiding his true identity from his friends.

"It is regrettable that I wasn't there when it happened," ALL-MITE answered. "I became part of Master's Covenant recently."

"I can tell that you can fight most Rankers," Robin stated. "But will you be able to protect Colette from High-Rankers? Twilight Rain is a huge organization. They have many High-Rankers within their ranks."

"I can't fight against High-Rankers," ALL-MITE replied truthfully. "But as long as we are not dealing with a Saint, Master will be able to do something about it."

"You sound confident."

"I am confident."

Robin quieted down as he gazed at the powerful bodyguard that Lux had left them. Not only did ALL-MITE look intimidating, but his words were also firm and confident. He truly made people feel they were safe when he was around.

Perhaps, this was why Lux decided to leave the Four-Armed Hero with the Dwarf kids. It was so that they would not feel depressed even if he was not around.

"Then can you tell me where Lux went?" Robin asked.

Unlike Colette and the others, he didn't call Lux Big Brother or by any other honorific. It was as if he was referring to Lux as an equal, which he rarely did with people. This was especially true since Lux wasn't a Dwarf like them.

ALL-MITE smirked after hearing Robin's question. Lux had told him that they were currently in one of the hidden bases of Twilight Rain, so there was a very big possibility that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

But before Lux left, he made sure to use his Soul Book to check every nook and cranny of the room to ensure that no one would be spying on the kids while he was away.

Having thought of this, ALL-MITE decided to say a few things to Robin, which made the latter tilt his head in confusion.

"Let's just say that Master is currently busy negotiating with someone," ALL-MITE said. "Depending on the outcome of the negotiation, things might get lively here in the Kingdom of Gweliven."

Robin didn't really understand what ALL-MITE was trying to say, but he could see the smile on the Four-Armed Hero's face, which made him believe that Lux was somewhere in Wisp Tree Town, doing something that would ensure Colette's safety.
