Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 334: The hero

"I am not a governor anymore. I am nothing but just a normal fallen angel."

Azazel said calmly as he observed this young man.

Cao Cao.

The leader of the Hero Faction on the Khaos Brigade.

This was the person that he came to meet in the middle of the night.

While Azazel knew this young man, it was the first time he met Cao Cao directly like this, especially when Cao Cao was part of the terrorist organization, the Khaos Brigade.

Like any other person that he had seen, Cao Cao was handsome, with short black hair and blue eyes. He also wore a gakuran (Japanese schoolboy uniform) and ancient Chinese hanfu attire.

Azazel wasn't sure if there was a reason why Cao Cao wore a school uniform, but for one thing, if it was before, he might think this young man was exceptional, but now?

Azazel felt skeptical and wondered whether Cao Cao could defeat Riser.

However, as the holder of the True Longinis, Cao Cao shouldn't be too shabby, right?

"Is it me, or do you think something rude about me, Governor?" Cao Cao raised his brows.

"As I have said before, I am no longer the governor of the fallen angel."

"Even so, I think that you are one, and that's why I wonder how the expressions of everyone when they learn the governor of the fallen angel are meeting us, the group of terrorists."

"You want to report me to everyone?"

"No, no. We're working together now, and our purpose is all the same. That is to defeat... Riser Lucifer."

When Cao Cao mentioned Riser, his voice was low and heavy, as if he tried to endure his anger. Yet, how could he not feel anger toward Riser? Especially when many of the members of the hero faction were taken out due to the bounty system made by Riser.

As a faction with the most numbers on the Khaos Brigade, the hero faction naturally became the number one target of the entire world. Their value on the bounty might not be much, but as long as they collected enough, this number was good enough. Moreover, most of them were weak, as they were humans, so many supernatural beings came after the hero factions.

If Georg, the holder of the Dimension Lost, wasn't part of the member of the Khaos Brigade, then their faction would crumble before they were able to achieve their goal.

As the hero faction, their purpose was like a hero to erase all evil beings, such as devils, monsters, dragons, and many supernatural beings that threatened human beings.

Yet, somehow, they were targeted by those human beings!

This was why Cao Cao hated Riser so much since, in the eyes of the public, Riser was the justice, while he, the hero faction, was the evil. However, as long as he defeated Riser, then this view would change, and that was why he knew Azazel's cooperation was necessary.

However, before Cao Cao asked Riser, as he didn't know about him except for what he had heard from the public, someone suddenly interrupted him.

"Governor! How are Sae and Nanadaru? Are they fine?" Tobio asked anxiously. While he knew that there was nothing that they could do, they had left Sae Toujou, his childhood friend, and Nanadaru Shigune. As a criminal who was targeted by the world, there was nothing he could do except ask Azazel's help, who was still standing on the light side.

Still, some people might say that he was a simp for thinking Shigune, who had gotten angry at him previously. However, Shigune was a member of the Slash/Dog, and as the leader of this group, he had a duty to protect every one of its members. Unfortunately, he failed before, and it definitely had nothing to do with the fact that he cared about the female members of the Slash/Dog more than mere friends.

Watching Tobio's reaction, Azazel felt a bit guilty, and he wasn't sure how to inform Tobio about the information of Sae Toujou and Shigune Nanadaru. Still, he bit the bullet and said, "You don't need to worry. They should be at Riser's villa."

"Lucifer's villa?!" Tobio's expression became ugly, thinking that Sae and Shigune were tortured by Riser.

Nevertheless, Cao Cao and all the members of the Hero Faction looked at Tobio with a subtle expression before they glanced at Arthur Pendragon, whose elegance could no longer be seen, and what everyone could see was only a gloomy young man.

Still noticing their gazes, Arthur became even more gloomy.

"You don't need to worry. They are beautiful, and in the worst case scenario, they will be treated as a maid by Riser."

"Ma-Maid? That's great..." Tobio sighed in relief since it was better than being put inside a dark jail.

"But don't come after them and think about saving them. Just leave them there and leave them until everything is over."

"Why?!" Tobio couldn't understand Azazel's thoughts.

"I think the governor is correct," Cao Cao added.

"Huh?" Tobio was confused by Cao Cao's words.

"It is said that Lucifer-sama loves to steal the woman of others, so in case your close relationship with those two girls is known, then you might become a cuckold," Cao Cao wisely advised.

Hearing Cao Cao's frank advice, Tobio was stunned and subconsciously stared at Arthur before he made up his mind. "...I know."

Arthur became even more gloomy, but he didn't say anything. After all, the news of Elaine Westcott, the maid of the Pendragon House, falling into the arms of Riser was clearly announced as if trying to mock him.

Yet, Arthur knew that everything was nothing but a trick to bait him out since he knew the love between him and Elaine was powerful, and there was no way for it to be broken.

"But I can see that this Lucifer is kind of an interesting character."

Like his ancestor, who loved to steal the wives of others, Riser also loved to do the same, which made Cao Cao amazed and understand why Riser could create the alliance that almost dominated this world.

"If possible, I want to talk with him before I kill him, though."

"Don't." Azazel shook his head. "The moment you have decided to become his enemy, never give him a chance to fight back, or else, you might be over."

"He is a devil, and I am the host of the ultimate Longinus, the True Longinus." Cao Cao smiled and said, "I think that he is the one who needs to be careful."

Azazel looked at Cao Cao for a moment, and somehow Cao Cao reminded him of someone who had passed away before, so he didn't say anything since it was meaningless to give advice to such a person and Cao Cao's purpose was nothing but to buy time for them.

"If you are that confident, then I won't say anything, but where is Yasaka?"

"She is over here." Cao Cao glanced behind, and two of his followers brought Yasaka in front of Azazel.

"You are going to use her to summon the Great Red, right?"

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded. "While Lucifer-sama might have announced that he defeated the Great Red, no one knew for real, so why shouldn't we use this chance to confirm this news?"

Azazel nodded since, using the Great Red and Cao Cao's True Longinus, their chances of victory were even higher. Moreover, like Cao Cao, he didn't believe that Riser had defeated the Great Red.

"So, how are we going to appear?" Cao Cao asked since he knew that the one who would give them an opportunity was Azazel.

"Tomorrow, come after me and attack me. We will fight together, and when we finish our fight, we can start the real deal."

"Hahaha... truly the governor of the fallen angels, you are going to use yourselves as bait." Cao Cao laughed and then nodded. "If that's the case, happy cooperation." He extended his hand, giving a handshake to Azazel.

Azazel also shook Cao Cao's hand firmly.

"By the way, can I ask you something?"

"What's wrong?"

"What kind of man is Riser Lucifer?" Cao Cao asked.

Azazel thought for a moment and said, "He is a man of contradiction."

"Contradiction?"

"Both aggressive and unaggressive, both insolent and polite, rigid and adaptable, submissive and resentful of being pushed around, loyal and treacherous, brave and timid, conservative and hospitable to new ways.

"In other words, it is impossible to predict him, but for one thing, as long as you become his enemy, then he will target you until you disappear from this world."

Cao Cao smiled when he heard Azazel's thoughts toward Riser. "That's why you are working with us, huh?"

Azazel didn't say anything and only kept quiet.

"However, it doesn't matter since soon, the evil will be defeated by us, the hero!"
