Mheera, Calec, and Riyu were still at the mountain peak, waiting for Shiba and Shino. Five minutes before the closing of the portal, the two men emerged from it.

They finally arrived as they passed through the portal from the other world. Mheera was delighted to see Shino. He had an important task to do.

For some unknown reason, her gut feeling was telling her that the demon god's daughter was not yet dead. Liam couldn't look straight in his eyes when he told her about the demon god's daughter.

What if he lied to her about killing the demon god's daughter? If he did lie, then Mheera wanted to know the reason why Liam didn't kill her.

"Finally, you are back." Mheera welcomed Shino, the fire element wielder.

Shino bowed his head and kneeled in front of Mheera, politely greeting her as the Head Shaman of the Guardian Warriors.

"It's my honor to help you in this mission."

"Rise, Shino. Don't do this kind of formal greeting here," Mheera ordered him.

Shino stood up right away, obeying Mheera.

It did not take long when the portal disappeared. The five of them decided to sit under the trees, talking about Mheera's plan.

"We will divide the team. Shino and Shiba will be in one team. Calec, Riyu, and I will be working together." Mheera looked at them one after another. After getting their positive response, she continued sharing her plan with them.

"Shino, you are the only one who can identify the demon god's daughter. I want you to investigate further and confirm whether she is already dead or she is still alive."

Shino was at a loss for words when he heard that. "Who killed her? She was so strong that I couldn't even fight back."

"Our guardian leader, he said he already killed her. But I want you to confirm if he really killed the right one."

"Okay, Mheera. We will do that. I will help Shino and report to you everything," Shiba uttered with determination.

"But don't make unnecessary moves. Just find out if she is still alive or not. Don't attack her since she might be more powerful than your combined powers. Just report everything to me and I will do the rest."

Shiba and Shino just nodded their heads as a response. They should follow and obey Mheera's instructions.

"Shino, be careful not to show your face to anyone. The demon god's daughter had already seen your face."

"I understand, Head Shaman. I will be more careful."

Mheera bobbed her head before moving her gaze to Calec and Riyu.

"You will be my backup. I will make sure that Liam will not know our moves. While I am diverting his attention, you should secretly monitor the man who looks like the demon god."

"Okay, Mheera. Let's just communicate every progress of our task," Calec said, glancing at Riyu. She just nodded her head, signifying she knew what to do.

They stayed there for a half-hour, finalizing everything. When they were done, Mheera invited them to have meals together in the city. She wanted to treat her comrades before doing their mission and going separate ways.

Meanwhile, in Tristan's Condo Unit, Liam was having a conversation with Zhen-Zhen, Tristan, and Zu Wan. He had no idea that the other guardian warriors were already making a move.

They were intentionally leaving Liam in the dark by taking action behind his back. Mheera defied his order and she didn't respect his decision as their guardian leader.

Now that he confirmed that Zu Wan was the demon god, Liam already planned on hiding this from Mheera.

He was still threatened by his presence but he wanted to trust Zhen-Zhen. He didn't know what the demon god was thinking but he knew for sure that Zhen-Zhen would not allow any innocent civilians to get hurt because of Zu Wan.

'I must protect them. I should convince Mheera to go back. The mission of killing the demon god and his daughter already lost its purpose a long time ago. Lillie and Zu Wan will be living here peacefully together with the Davis Family.' Liam thought to himself as he happily conversed with Zhen-Zhen and others.

He was so glad to see how happy Zhen-Zhen was after reuniting with Zu Wan. His guilt lessened since the demon god was alive. But he was still sorry for Zhen-Zhen's mother who was killed by their ancestors.

"Liam, thank you for letting my father, Ella, and her mother stay temporarily in your house. My father and I already discussed it. He will be living here together with Ella and Titania." Zhen-Zhen informed Liam after expressing her gratitude to him.

Liam's eyes lit up when he heard that. It was a good idea since Mheera hadn't come back yet. She didn't see Zu Wan, Titania, and Ella when he brought the three in Leo's villa.

It would be best if Zu Wan and Mheera would never cross paths again.

"No need to thank me, Lillie. I just did the right thing. I will just fetch Titania."

"Eh, big brother Liam! Are you sending us away now?" Ella suddenly butted in. She had been listening to Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan ever since the start of their conversation.

She was still jealous seeing how Liam looked at Zhen-Zhen. She could tell that Liam had a crush on her. It's not a surprise because even she admired Zhen-Zhen's beauty the first time she saw her.

"Why Ella? You don't want to stay here together with your father, Zu Wan?" Liam asked her.

Ella bit her lower lip. She moved his gaze from Liam to Zu Wan. Zu Wan was also waiting for her response, wondering if Ella would choose to stay in Leo's Villa together with Liam or stay in Tristan's Condo Unit together with him.

Ella sighed in defeat. "Of course, I want to stay with Father Zu Wan. But promise me that you will come and visit us here, brother Liam!"

"Okay, I promise." Liam touched Ella's head while smiling at her. Now he would feel relieved. Mheera should not know about this. His main priority right now was to keep them away from Mheera.
