"Please come in."

Hearing a voice from inside, Rhodes opened the door and walked in. After entering, he closed the door smoothly.

The person who appeared in front of him was a middle-aged man. He was wearing black and decent clothes, not too flashy, but perhaps because he was always in a superior position, his temperament had a bit of majesty.

Next to him stood the girl Rhodes met when leaving the banquet.

The snow-white silver hair flows down like a waterfall, and the tender skin shines with a charming luster under the soft refraction of the light. The light green dress paired with a cute face, coupled with a quiet and well-behaved appearance, easily attracts attention.

"I'm Rhodes. Did they say you want to see me?" Rhodes looked back and said, "Oh."

"You're finally here."

After the man heard this, he put his hands across his chest with a respectful expression, bent his body slightly, and gracefully performed an aristocratic gesture.

Rhodes looked at him deeply with his dark pupils and said in surprise.

"I see, I sensed the aura of a familiar person around you. It belongs to Alpha. Has Alpha seen you?"

"I am a peripheral member of the Shadow Courtyard." His explanation confirmed Rhodes' guess.

Peripheral personnel, as the name suggests, are the organizational members of the Shadow Courtyard except for the seven seats.

Their existence is to provide necessary help to the Shadow Courtyard, including funds, personnel, and intelligence information.

In the structure envisioned by Alpha, peripheral personnel are subdivided into combatants and non-combatants.

Combatants usually only absorb demon-possessed girls. They have the deepest hatred for the Diavolos Order, so it is easier to command.

Non-combatants are aware of the existence of the Shadow Courtyard organization and are willing to join the Shadow Courtyard for personal reasons and provide some necessary help.

Shadow Courtyard will also be responsible for solving the problems they encounter, which is a mutually beneficial relationship.

In terms of the order of the pyramid, the top level is Rhodes, the middle level is the Seven Shadow Seats, the lower level is the peripheral combatants, and the bottom level is the non-combatants.

Hearing this, the man's eyes flashed with wonder.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you! If that person hadn't said it himself, I wouldn't have thought that their masters were equally young. Rather, it's because of your existence that they came into being."

Hearing her father's words, the girl beside her opened her eyes curiously. She didn't know why her father looked so humble to a boy who was obviously younger than her.

"There's no need to flatter me too much. If you come to me with the excuse of being engaged, you must have something to do, right?" Rhodes waved his hand.

"It's presumptuous to bother me. After all, this is the only reason that can reasonably eliminate those people's suspicions and come to see you." The man smiled bitterly.

"those people?"

Rhodes noticed the key words in the man's words, but he didn't rush to ask questions and waited for his next words.

"I joined the organization about a year ago. At that time, I was hunted by enemies, but seven girls rescued me."

The man explained the ins and outs and said with a sigh: "Their strength is the strongest people I have ever seen in my life. Until now, I have never thought that at this age, there would be existences beyond my ability to understand. .”

"The strongest knight in the kingdom is nothing more than this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's expression became complicated and he said: "Although they saved me, it was not completely without cost."

"They valued my status as the head of the Viconi family and asked me to join the Shadow Courtyard. In return, I will receive limited help from them."

Don't underestimate this 'limitation'. If Alpha and the others show their true intentions, they can easily destroy a country.

The gold content of representation is already something that many people desire but cannot seek.

If Viconi has developed to this point, it will naturally not be smooth sailing, and a certain degree of bloodshed will be inevitable. In the name of training, Alpha sent six others to solve the problem.

"You provide the funds for Alpha and their activities."

Rhodes suddenly realized that he was still thinking about where Alpha's money came from. Alpha explained that it was provided by the recruited peripheral members. Rhodes didn't think about it at the time. It seemed that the peripheral personnel she mentioned were exactly what she was talking about. The man in front of me.

The man nodded: "Because I am the first person to join the Shadow Courtyard, I am specially allowed to know the secrets that others do not know. The most important thing is your existence."

"I understand, you came to me to ask for help?"

Rhodes stared at him. He was obviously a young man, but the man felt tremendous pressure from those eyes.

"I have no other choice." The man said in a low voice with a feeble tone: "I originally wanted to contact the people who rescued me, but I didn't get any response to the messages I sent. It just so happened that your name appeared in my sight."

"Then you happen to be unlucky."

Rhodes casually found a place to sit down, leaned against the soft sofa, and said with a sigh of relief.

"Alfa and the others went out for an unknown amount of time, so it's normal that they can't be found."

"But this is the only thing I can't wait for. It's a matter of life and death. I have no choice but to disturb it myself."

The man said solemnly to Rhodes. "I want to temporarily board my daughter in your home, and hope you can protect her safety until I come back alive."
