''!"

Suddenly a chill crawled up her spine as she realized what the Chaos organization was trying to do.

''No good they would have these things infiltrate the dungeons.''

Alex sighed, confirming Elseria's fear.

''I've also thought the same thing. This is probably their aim.''

Elseria was not surprised by Alex's words, but she was curious about why he thought like that hence the question.

''And why did you think like that?"

Having been expecting this question, Alex smiled; he didn't immediately answer but first took a fine wine and poured one glass to Elseria before pouring another one for himself. It was only after taking a sip of her wine did he finally answered.

''It's logic when you think about it. If I were in their shoes, where would I send those things first?''

To this question, Elseria didn't answer as she knew she didn't have to because Alex had not finished talking. She just had to keep listening, and indeed Alex continued with his explanation.

''Obviously, the answer is a dungeon. Everyone uses Dungeons to train, to become stronger on top of gaining wealth, but the primary purpose is strength. To deal great damage to your enemy, you must send those abominations into dungeons; they slaughter your enemy forces, stopping them from progressing, which will be beneficial for you when you will later clash. Your enemy will be weaker than you. This is probably their goal.''

Elseria nodded at the end of Alex's explanation; she didn't have anything to add as it was exactly what she thought when she learned about the demons.

''What is the plan?'' Alex asked after finishing his glasses of wine.

Elseria went silent for a moment, probably thinking about possible solutions. Fortunately, Incursio shared this important information with them; if not, they would sit still in the dark, which meant more casualties on their side.

''It's pretty hard because there are hundreds of dungeons worldwide, and it would be hard to monitor every one of them as we needed qualified adventurers to do this, and qualified adventurers are few in numbers, and most of them already. Have tasks assigned to them?''

Alex could feel the frustration in her voice. She was lacking workforce. Most of the qualified adventurers were sent all around the world to prevent more cities and villages from getting destroyed.

Thinking about it now, this must have been the Chaos organization plan, luring them to another location while they had the time to execute their plan, planting those abominations all over the place; they must have targeted the most used dungeons and the high-level ones, the one those grandmasters and Saints used to level up.

While Elseria was thinking about what to do to prevent more adventurers' death, Alex made a suggestion.

''Why not put an emergency notice all over the guilds to tell people to watch out for any oddity?"

''Hum?"

At this suggestion, Elseria frowned, and as if he could guess what she was worried about, Alex immediately offered an answer that reassured her.

''I know what you're worried about, but you don't have to worry. When I proposed that solution, it was also to let the enemy know that we are already aware of one of their secret plans, and once they knew this, what do you think they'd do?" Alex asked with a grin.

Elseria felt sorry for the Chaos organization, there was no smart doubt, but they had met their match in the name of Alexander Kael Touch and the freak Incursio.

''They would be forced to change their plan because they'd thought they would be discovered so soon. The premise for their plan to work perfectly would be to remain in the dark for a long moment; however, thanks to Incursio, this is not the case anymore. So, they wouldn't have another choice other than changing their plans.''

''Exactly,'' Alex confirmed this before gulping down another glass of wine. Well, they might be mistaken, but there was an eighty percent chance that the Chaos organization would be forced to alter their plans once they learned that Alex's group knew about one of their plans.

''Okay, let's do that. Let's put an emergency notice all over the guilds to see what would happen. I'm sure they would stop targeting all dungeons; this will give us the time to form special teams that can clean those monsters, and with a little bit of chance, we might not have to go through all dungeons.'' Elseria had already made a plan after accepting Alex's suggestion.

''After posting the emergency notice, we just have to target middle and high-level dungeons as they will be no meaning in putting demons in low-level dungeons.''

''Ah, I see. What you said does make sense. Okay, we will do as you said. Hopefully, it will yield a good result.'' Elseria declared before finishing her glass of wine; she immediately asked for another one.

While drinking her wine, she observed him. He held the wine glass in his over-moisturized fingers, his nails forming a wall without mortar. Elseria watched his face as he drank, contorted as if the expectation he might gain enjoyment from it was an imposition too far.

''I only love wine when I drink it together with someone. That person is the right ambiance, emotion, and scene for its entrance. Well, call it me rambling, but it is exactly how I feel every time I enjoy drinking wine with someone, this feeling might vary from person to person, but the overall feeling didn't change.'' Alex declared after placing his wine glass on the mat.

Elseria nodded, seemingly to share the same feeling as him, and in silence, the two enjoyed a bottle of wine.

The wine bottle was the customary green, yet deeper where the red wine sat within. Unlike the bottles in the cellar in his villa, it had a shine to it that accentuated the age of the label, time-yellowed with corners that curled.

Soon, the duo finished this wine bottle, and it was time for some serious business.
