"S RANKED DEMONS?!" THE Arcs and the Demons asked in unison. Kharon went closer to where the sons were and answered, "Remember the exchange students I was talking about yesterday? It's them."
Everyone was suddenly shocked by what Kharon just said. Hyunseung quickly looked confused as he added, "You were with them all day...and you didn't know they were Demons?"
Kharon sighed like he couldn't believe it himself, "Yes, because if you look and smell them they're just humans. If I didn't get to interrogate the ghouls I wouldn't even know. It's embarrassing since I'm a high ranked demon myself but I wasn't even able to identify them."
NOTE: It might be weird but just by one look or even by smell, Demons can sense the presence of other Demons.
"That's impossible," Taeil says, trying to understand the whole situation.
"But what did you mean when you said you don't know whether they were sent by the King, or whether they were sent by the Rulers?" this time, it was Mark who asked it.
Kharon finally sat down as he answered, "If they were sent by the King of Hell himself, then they wouldn't be there in the open. They should be hiding, or they could have talked to me or they could already have attacked you, especially when all of you are still vulnerable. But they haven't done anything, and they act like they don't even know me."
"But if it was our fathers who brought them here then they could have still talked to you and would have also shown themselves to us," Minhyuk pointed out and everyone agreed.
"Don't tell me they sent the ghoul here," Dongmin suddenly says, making everyone look at him.
"What ghoul?" Kharon asked since he hasn't heard of that event yet. Sunggyu, who experienced it himself, looked at their guardian and answered, "I saw Jiyong last night, but apparently it wasn't Jiyong, it was a ghoul molded to look like Jiyong."
Once Kharon heard about it, his eyes quickly widened.
"Only high ranked Demons can mold ghouls into humans, which means only the King, the sinners (who are all dead now), and the S ranked Demons could do such a thing," Kharon explained.
"Then...they really were the ones who sent it here?" Woohyun asked, and Kharon nodded.
"But why?" Sunggyu and Jackson asked in unison.
"Eyes," Dongmin answered. When everyone was now looking at him, he continued, "They used them to, let's just say, spy on all of you."
Everyone quickly had goosebumps on the sudden reveal.
"B-But the ghoul...he wasn't human at all...he was a spirit. I couldn't touch him at that time. Then does that mean...these guys are powerful?" Sunggyu asked in disbelief.
"It looks like it," Kharon stated.
"Then how the fuck are we going to defeat them if they really were sent by the King?!" Sunggyu asked with a louder tone.
"Are you guys idiots? You are Princes of Hell! You're S Ranked Demons yourselves. You can defeat them, especially Jackson and supposedly Jiyong, who are SS Ranked Demons like the Rulers. That's why I said if they were here to kill you, they wouldn't be out in the open, and to top it all off, be in HAU. They know what you're capable of, and they're aware that fighting you will mean they're asking for their deaths," Kharon explained.
Sungjae, who was still confused, looked at Kharon and asked, "Wait a second, I'm still really confused by this. Ranks in heaven are obviously different so it would be helpful if you explain those ranks to us first."
