Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 283: Something big

"I am deeply sorry, Lucifer-sama!"

With a young woman as the lead, the others also followed, bowing down so deeply toward Riser.

Kuroka, who saw all of this, couldn't help but laugh. Still, facing Riser's stare, she could only stop, but she couldn't control her laugh. She kept laughing hard, watching many people who kept bowing their heads as they had just interrupted them.

Riser gave up trying to stop Kuroka, but nevertheless, no one said anything, even if Kuroka laughed as they kept bowing down. Yet, this was normal since he exerted the power of "Villain" and easily conquered them with his aura.

Among all of his abilities, there was no doubt "Villain' was convenient, especially to take care of the small fries.

With this ability, no matter how many of his opponents, even if they brought an army, it was meaningless as the moment they were exposed to his aura, the thought of fighting had already disappeared before they passed out due to the difference in their powers.

It was the same as the group in front of him, as they had already given up the moment they were exposed to his aura.

"You are bullying them," Kuroka whispered.

Riser stared at Kuroka with eyes that told her that he was going to bully her tonight.

Kuroka didn't care about his gaze. Instead, she looked at the leader of this group with an interest. "She is a beauty. Aren't you interested in her?"

Riser directly ignored this cat girl and said, "Stand up."

"Yes."

The young woman, who was scared and nervous, stood up shakily, but she didn't dare to meet Riser's eyes. It was also the same with the others, especially the guards, who did a bad job by not telling those who had entered about the presence of Riser.

Still, Riser looked at the young woman and thought that her body was as good as Rias', which surprised him since he had never thought to meet someone similar to Rias. However, unlike Rias, her hair was long blond with blue hair, and her appearance was rather stern, probably due to her personality.

"You might be surprised since I am here, but I got permission from Diodora."

"Diodora?" The young woman was surprised and also confused. "Why?"

Hearing her low mutter, Riser chuckled. "Probably, he wanted to curry a favor with me."

"Ah, uh, I am sorry again, Lucifer-sama."

She bowed her head so low that her big breasts bounced.

Even in the Underworld, Riser thought, the law of gravity was the same. Still, he was curious about who this young woman was. "You are?"

"I am sorry for the late introduction." Like a young lady from an aristocratic house, she introduced herself. "My name is Latia Astaroth, and I am from the branch family of the Astaroth House."

"I see." Riser nodded. "It's normal for you to get angry at me, then." If he was at Latia's place and found someone doing the deeds in his family's library, then naturally, he would be angry.

"Ah, um..." Latia was in grief, knowing that she had done something stupid. She knew if Lord Astaroth, Diodora, Ajuka, and even her parents knew what she had done, they would probably give her to Riser without hesitation. However, she didn't really mind though if that was what she needed to do.

Riser might have married, but the name of the strongest devil in the world wasn't for nothing.

Everyone knew that as long as someone got his semen and got these children, there was no doubt their children would become a powerhouse. At worst, they would be an Ultimate Class Devil, which was as rare as a billionaire in the world.

"Though you misunderstood us."

"Yes, yes. I misunderstood you." Latia nodded.

As for the rest, they just bowed down and never raised their heads.

"Then, do you mind if I continue to read?" Riser asked.

"Please, stay as much as you wish to, Lucifer-sama."

"Just call me Riser, okay?"

"Then... Riser-sama." Latia still used the "-sama" suffix to call him, but she showed a beautiful smile when she called his name.

Nevertheless, there was no doubt his action of reading the secret information on the Astaroth House was something extremely rude, yet who could stop him?

Moreover, Riser also got permission from Diodora, and Latia also agreed with Diodora since if they could get on the good side of Riser by just lending a few books to him, then everything was good.

The information on this library might be important, but it didn't mean that all of them could use it since not all the descendants of the Astaroth House could be as strong and as smart as Ajuka.

There were also many failures, such as Diodora.

In other words, this was a small price to gain the good side of Riser!

"By the way, are you familiar with this library, Miss Astaroth?"

"Please call me Latia, Riser-sama."

"Then, Latia. Let me ask you again whether you are familiar with this place since Diodora never entered this place from what he told me."

"..."

Latia sighed helplessly toward the heir of the Astaroth House, but there was nothing she could do since Diodora was Ajuka's little brother. Even if Diodora was scum, his father and older brother gave him enough qualifications to become the head of the Astaroth House. Even if she was dissatisfied, there was nothing she could do since she was nothing but just from a branch family.

"Please let me be your guide here, Riser-sama."

Latia offered her help without hesitation.

"Then, thank you."

Riser didn't reject Latia's offer since this way was faster.

The two talked to each other amiably, and it was easy to tell that they liked each other.

Kuroka looked at the two, then snorted, and decided to take a nap since a book would make her sleepy. Moreover, she knew that she needed to build her stamina for her punishment tonight.

---

As Riser went to read all the books on the Astaroth House, everything was peaceful. While Rossweisse hadn't returned, everything was as usual, and nothing changed. If something had changed, it was at how Diodora was keen to train, and Latia was always by his side when he stayed in the library.

Naturally, when he was in the library, he wasn't alone as the women around him kept changing, but Latia never said anything.

Still, during this moment, his wife, Sona, went on the match against Seekvaria Agares, the heiress of the Agaress House. Naturally, the winner between them was Sona, as Seekvaria was unable to do anything against Sona.

Frankly, there was no doubt the power of Agares House was strong since they had the power to control the time.

During the match, Latia told him that due to her mother's heritage, she also gained the power of time, like from the Agares House.

However, facing Sona's skillful water manipulation, nothing could be done. With her mirage, deadly swordsmanship, strategy, and many other things, she was simply the most shining young generation among the six youths.

Naturally, Sona wasn't the only one, as Sairaorg also showed his power by making the new heir of the Glasya-Labolas traumatized and holed up inside the room. It was also due to this accident that Iryuka became the new heiress of the Glasya-Labolas, causing her to share this news with him as soon as it was confirmed.

However, while Riser was happy about Iryuka, who had become the new heiress of the Glasya-Labolas house, the day Rias would have her Rating Game against Diodora started.

"Hehehe..."

On the day of the match, Diodora never looked at Rias' but stared at Asia lustfully, then at Issei dangerously, but soon, he quickly erased those expressions and changed them into his usual gentle smile.

Whether Asia or Issei, they became uneasy in front of Diodora's gaze.

"Asia, I will definitely show my love to you," Diodora said softly.

"Bastard!" Issei glared angrily at Diadora, who kept trying to court Asia, but as usual, Diodora ignored him, which made him even angrier.

"Let's win."

Rias ignored Diodora since he had never done real harm, and once again, she raised the spirit of her peerage members and vowed that she would win this match!

"Yes, Buchou!"

Their previous match against Sona was a failure, but this time, they were going to become the winner!

Meanwhile, Riser, who was in the VIP room with his wife, women, and his acquaintances, along with all the leaders of various factions, watched the match that was about to be held.

However, Riser and those leaders knew that their real purpose wasn't to watch the match between Rias and Diodora.

"Riser-kun, it's the time." Ajuka reminded Riser quietly.

"Okay." Riser nodded calmly.

"Dear?" Sona looked at Riser with confusion.

"Wait here for me." Riser patted his wife's shoulder and then left along with all the leaders chosen for this war.

Unlike others who were oblivious, Riser knew something big was about to begin.
