In this chapter, the demon king peregrine tries to convince his son that the silver ray was stolen by a common thief, but the boy refuses to believe him. He tells his father that the real thief was on a street selling silver trinkets, and that he was the one who took him to the crime scene. The demon king tells the boy that his father's death was not caused by his father, but by the fact that he had invented a silver-based healing device.
