The evaluation committee of Subduing Demon City had never been this busy before. The night after the incident with the Second Son of the Flame Soul, the City Lords, the various heads of the Demon Slayer Clans, and the generals of the army gathered together in a church-like gray-white building to hold an overnight emergency conference.
"Look, isn't that City Lord Cotillard?"
"It really is him. I've heard that Cotillard has been managing secret weapons research in Subduing Demon City. The last time he appeared at a joint conference was twenty-some years ago."
"General Dresden is also here. I thought that old man had already retired."
