He says to the chief that he has proof for that statement, which he replied that their tribe have a long-standing bloodline of a Beastkin hero and tell the real truth about the three heroes and the demonic possession. Petos lied about his true statement by saying it's a blasphemy against the Holy Church.

The chief continues that he been curious about the story of heroes and demon, which he confirm that the fairy tale story that was passed down in the golden panther group are the truth, while The Holy Church distorts it, making Petos expression seems irritated about his confirmation.

Then, the leader of branch family threatened the chief to say where his daughter, but he refused. When the chief's daughter revealed herself, her father says to her that she must fulfilled her mission by heading to the east at the Midgar Kingdom, to find someone who will cure demonic possession and tell his wife to with their children while he stay behind to protect them from his tribe and Petos, to which he activated the power from the Beastkin hero, Lili.

Petos decided to kill him painlessly, by stroked her brother's neck with his chain.

The girl screaming at her brother's death, but Petos let out a mocking laugh as he looked down at her because thanks to her, his path to become Rounds will open. When the girl screams at him that she will kill him, while holding her family severed head, Petos ignored and turned his back on her, which he called his subordinates from the forest to confirm that the tasked is completed by showing all severed heads of the golden panther tribe to her, including the branch family leader.

The girl then charged towards Petos, but his chains sent her flying. Petos order his men to arrest the girl and send her to Valliora's laboratory, while he makes preparations for the faction. Soon, Petos received word that the girl from the golden panther tribe had escape by unknown group, to which he then became obsessed with finding her whereabouts.
