Chapter 21 Hades Is Angry, Do You Think The Ghost King Of The Underworld Is Easily Bullied?
"W-We have to go! That guy is here!"
Separating her lips from Riser's with a flushed face, Grayfia said anxiously while closing the car window.
Riser was confused by Grayfia's quick reaction.
How did Grayfia know that Issei was also around here?
Feeling the wet and warm feeling on his lips before, Riser sighed, he felt like kissing Grayfia again.
He looked at Grayfia reluctantly.
Feeling Riser's gaze.
Now it was Grayfia who was confused.
Her face was still flushed after the passionate kiss earlier.
It was her first kiss and she enjoyed it very much, but unfortunately Issei's arrival disturbed them both.
Grayfia was upset and angry of course, especially after hearing Issei who kept misunderstanding that she was threatened by Riser.
"What? Why are you doing nothing Riser, we have to go. Hurry up and get this car running! Issei is here!"
"A-After we leave here, I'll... I'll kiss you again!"
Grayfia persuaded him, how could Riser refuse?
But before leaving, he asked Grayfia.
"Grayfia, you said Issei was here? How did you know?"
"That... When we kissed, I saw him in the corner of my eye from the car window. He was quite far away, but my eyesight was good and allowed me to see him."
Grayfia naturally lied, feeling guilty, but she also didn't want to tell Riser that she could hear the inner voices of protagonist and villain.
If Riser found out that someone else could hear his inner voice, imagine what would happen after that? Wouldn't Riser try to stay away from the person who can hear his inner voice?
After all, anyone would not be comfortable knowing that their inner voice is being heard by others. That would be an invasion of privacy.
Grayfia did not want Riser to hate her and stay away from her for fear that she could hear his inner voice.
So she could only lie in a reasonable way so that Riser would not suspect her.
Hearing Grayfia's answer, Riser seemed silent for a few seconds before nodding.
He was about to operate the car to leave immediately, but Issei's scream was heard from outside the car.
"Grayfia! Wait for me! I'm coming to save you!"
Grayfia and Riser naturally turned their heads to the car window. They both saw Issei who was galloping with a fierce face towards the car.
This scene was familiar.
Grayfia was frightened, she looked at Riser and said hurriedly. "Hurry up Riser! We need to go of here quickly! It'll be bad if Issei comes after you and beats you up."
"Although I know you're strong, but Issei is also strong, it's better to avoid him as much as possible."
"I'm worried you'll get hurt! Please, we'd better go of here! Riser... Please..."
The beautiful iceberg president begged simply because she didn't want her man to get hurt, Riser was a little moved to see this.
Although he wanted to test the combat power gap between him and Issei because he felt more confident after getting Rasen Energy. But Grayfia pleaded that she should not face Issei because she was worried about himself getting hurt.
Hey...
Wait, but it would also be good if he didn't expose himself to Issei at this time. From his inner voice, it seemed Issei didn't know that the man kissing Grayfia was Riser Phenex.
Riser felt that he could use this situation to manipulate Issei in the future. Various evil and fun ideas crossed his mind, making him want to laugh.
It wasn't for nothing that he had read so many villain novels in the previous world.
"Okay since Grayfia is begging me like that, how can I say no?"
Riser smiled, his hands nimbly operating the car to quickly leave here.
About five meters away from the car Riser and Grayfia were driving. Issei saw the car not far in front of him about to leave, gritted his teeth and roared in desperation.
"No, no, no! I won't let you go this time! Ahhh!!"
While running Issei happened to see a pebble in front of him and an idea came to his mind. He kicked the gravel on the road to shoot the tires of the car Grayfia and the man were driving.
As an eighth-ranked martial artist with experience on the battlefield, his marksmanship clearly exceeded that of an ordinary human, shooting objects with his feet to hit targets was also on his list of skills.
The pebbles that Issei kicked flew quickly towards the car tires, he deliberately targeted the car tires so that the car could no longer run.
By the time that happened, he was able to catch up to the car and save Grayfia who was inside the car.
But what astonished Issei was that the pebbles he kicked failed to hit the target. Somehow there was a cyan light that formed a shield around the tires of the car he was targeting and destroyed that gravel.
Issei was dumbfounded and looked stupid as the car Grayfia was driving with the man had completely left.
Failure again.
He failed to save Grayfia for the second time.
Issei clenched his fists with a dark face as he stood in the middle of the street.
"Damn, who exactly is that man! Is he a cultivator just like me? Even so, it doesn't matter who you are. Anyone who dares to desire a woman belonging to the Dragon King. You are an enemy of the Dragon King, you must die with your family!!!"
He took out the cell phone in his pocket and called L to let the other party investigate the identity of the man who threatened Grayfia.
But...
"...."
The first try the phone was not picked up.
"...."
Second try still no answer.
Third try...
"Damn, L! Why isn't that bastard picking up his phone!"
Issei was panting with anger, if anyone were to see him at this moment. They would see Issei's fierce-looking face like someone possessed by an evil spirit.
...
In a place where the sky is always black without stars and moon. There is a building that resembles a kingdom.
The people who live there are not living people. They were all dead people, or rather they were all ghosts.
All these ghosts were not in the human world, which meant that this place was in the Underworld which was exactly the same size as the human world.
A world ruled by the Ghost King Hades.
Hades was currently in a bad mood after hearing reports from his subordinates.
Precisely from the Ghost Nun who had just revived her soul from the Soul Pond. The Soul Pool is a kind of national treasure in the underworld that can reshape the damaged or destroyed souls of the dead, not all ghosts can use it. Only the ghosts chosen by Hades himself can use it for certain reasons.
Hades sitting on the throne tapped his finger several times against the throne side. His appearance was unclear as he always wore a black robe with purple stripes and a hood covering his face, but Ghost Nun knew Hades was angry at the moment.
The ghost nun shivered, she was afraid of being punished by Hades for failing to complete her mission. She didn't fear the death penalty, but she feared Hades using other means to punish her.
For example, by throwing her into the pit of Hell where the ghosts there would be tortured and burned by the flames of Hell at all times without allowing her soul to be destroyed. This is a kind of infinite punishment for any ghost and it can only be ended if Hades speaks to end the ghost's punishment.
The nun ghost didn't want that to happen to her, so knelt down in front of Hades and smashed her face against the floor.
"Please forgive me, lord Hades! I failed to complete the mission you gave me. But it was because of that human! That human is a cultivator who likes to pretend to be a pig and eat tigers."
"Him... That human was originally at a level that I could still handle with the other ghosts, but suddenly he has the power to defeat all the ghosts in that secret room, even the portal that lord Hades made was destroyed in one attack from that human!"
"At the very last moment, that human even dared to leave a message for me to deliver to lord Hades. His words were very rude and very disrespectful to you, lord Hades. I wanted to kill that human, but unfortunately I was not strong enough. Forgive me, lord Hades."
Hades stopped tapping the throne with his finger and said in a low voice but it was clearly heard in the room.
"You said the human left you a message to deliver to me? What message is it, try repeating what the human said."
The nun ghost raised her ugly and creepy face tremblingly.
"That... Lord Hades, I'm afraid, I dare not say it from my mouth for fear of offending you."
"It's okay, just say it. This is an order."
"If it's an order from lord Hades, then..."
The nun ghost swallowed and continued.
"That human said; After returning to the Underworld tell Hades that the one who dared to destroy his plans is a man named Hyudou Issei! He must remember my name because one day I will come to him and blow his head off."
"...."
"...."
"Pfft... Hahaha"
"...."
"Hahah..."
"...."
"Hahahahahaha!"
Hades' creepy laughter rang out, not only in the throne room, but the ghosts within a 100 meter radius of him could also hear his creepy laughter.
The ghosts shuddered in fear, even though they were ghosts, but that didn't mean they had no fear.
Hades' creepy laughter accompanied by his terrifying aura scared them and made them wonder who was offending Hades?
The nun ghost who felt Hades' aura the closest was the one suffering the most at the moment.
She was already lying on the ground and her soul was crushed under the pressure of Hades' aura.
Hades whose body was enveloped in a purple aura with purple flames dancing behind him smiled faintly under his hood.
"Hyudou Issei... Good, good, very good! Want me to remember your name and want to blow my head off? Hehe this little human is so arrogant."
"Do you think the Ghost King of the Underworld is easily bullied?"
"Looks like I need to send someone... No, it's better to just send some ghost elites to hunt him down in the human world." said Hades who had lost his smile after saying that.
...
Night.
Riser had returned to Kuoh with Grayfia. They have both returned to their respective homes.
After escaping Issei's pursuit before, Grayfia of course gave him another kiss on the way before they both parted ways at the airport.
The taste of Grayfia's lips and tongue made him addicted. Riser was a little worried that he'd become stupid from enjoying the kiss too much.
It was a good thing his villain cultivation was strong enough, otherwise he would have wanted to take Grayfia to hotel or his house to do something more than kiss.
It was still too soon to do that and he knew Grayfia would most likely not agree right away if he wanted to do it.
It was good that he held back and made Grayfia's feelings for her stronger first so that Grayfia could surrender to him completely.
Thinking of this Riser was naturally in a good mood, especially considering he had cut Issei's opportunity a lot today.
"Fortunately I managed to block the pebble Issei kicked to blow out the car's tires back then. Otherwise that car really wouldn't have been able to move."
[Isn't your worry aimed at the wrong thing, host? Shouldn't you be worried about fighting with Issei if your car's tires actually exploded back then?]
Riser, who had just finished bathing and was walking with only a towel around his waist, frowned as he heard his system meowing about this.
"System, are you trying to say that I'm a coward?"
[No, host. You misunderstood...]
Riser shook his head and put on his clothes. He opened his laptop while sitting on the sofa.
"Tell me, system. With my current power, what is the percentage chance of me winning if I fight Issei back then."
[Calculating the data if host goes all out using Rasen Energy in the battle against Issei. You only have a 44% chance of winning.]
"See? Even if I can win against Issei in a one-on-one battle. What about Issei's army outside in the country and all the connections Issei has."
"Issei who has learned my identity by then will target my family crazily using the connections of various wealthy families to suppress my family. Depending on how much patience Issei has, there is a possibility of Issei calling his overseas mercenary forces to destroy my family."
"Although at that time I was moved to test my power against Issei, but fortunately Grayfia stopped me from being impulsive. At that time I also started to come up with other ideas to fight Issei without taking such a big risk."
Riser smiled faintly as he continued to type quickly on his laptop. He used his hacker skills to delete all evidence from CCTV cameras etc. that could expose his identity when he was with Grayfia earlier.
That way he didn't have to worry about Issei looking for someone to investigate who the man was that Grayfia spent time with today.
"And it's done! I can sleep well tonight."
[Host, you seriously want to use the method for dealing with the protagonist of that novel against Issei?]
Riser was confused.
"What are you saying, system? I haven't even told you what method I'll use against Issei in the future."
[I knew after reading your mind.]
"...You can read my mind?"
[Isn't that obvious? We can even talk through your mind, host.]
"...."
I feel like this system is invading my privacy, making me a bit uncomfortable.
If the system is my enemy, wouldn't that be dangerous?
[Host, please don't doubt my loyalty. System is connected to the host's soul. That means if the host dies, I will die too. So there's no point in us antagonizing each other. As the Ultimate Villain System, I won't betray you, host.]
"So if you're not the Ultimate Villain System, there's a chance you could betray me?"
[No, that's not it... Host... Please don't equate me with those trashy systems you read about from that novels. They are set to betray their hosts at the last moment just because their author wants to satisfy his betrayal fetish.]
"So you're an exception?"
[Of course! Author Dog ***** doesn't have a fetish for getting his MC betrayed.]
[Cough, host! Want to take the reward now?]
The system as usual changes the topic when it comes to sensitive issues that make it uncomfortable.
Riser rolled his eyes and opened the system interface.
"Okay, open my reward."
[Ding! You successfully survived the plot, you get Houshoku Haki. You are the first rich second generation in this world who can defeat the will of others using the pressure from Houshoku Haki. Depending on how strong your opponent's will is, you can make those who oppose you surrender or faint from being overwhelmed by your pressure.]
Riser's eyes blinked a few times after seeing the reward he got from the system this time.
He stared at the system interface with an evil grin on his face.
[Putting aside using Houshoku Haki to fight the protagonist, I will only know the result if I try. But if I unleash my Houshoku Haki at a banquet where there are many rich generations who are arrogant and unreasonable. Someone tried to mess with me there, I only need to use the pressure from my Houshoku Haki to make them kneel down and call me father.]
[Truly an ability fit for a villain. Where is the invitation to come to the banquet? Is there none at the moment? Wait! The next plot will have something to do with the banquet! This is the plot that the stupid red-haired birthday girl has. Who is that? Of course it's the heroine Rias Gremory!]
At the Gremory Residence.
Rias had just gotten off work and was seriously reading a book in her room. Suddenly threw her book on the floor.
"Who are you calling a stupid girl? I'm not stupid! You're the stupid one!"
"Knowing my birthday is approaching, instead of thinking of what gift you'll give to please your fiancé. You mocked me and called me a stupid red-haired girl!"
"Riser Phenex! Why do you dislike me so much now..."
The last sentence was spoken in a barely audible voice.
Rias felt annoyed, angry, and sad at the same time. She stared at the book she threw on the floor absentmindedly and picked up the book to read again.
Her gaze was stern and she read the book over and over again so that she would remember its contents well.
It was still the same book she had read in the night before.
Unlike Rias who only focused on Riser's mocking sentence about her.
In a large bedroom but with few belongings that only filled a small part of the room. The blue-haired woman who was wiping a sword with a cloth looked brooding as if she was thinking hard.
"Houshoku Haki? What is that? Is it a type of martial arts or magical skill that can make people kneel and can call you father?"
The last one was obviously a joke, but the blue-haired woman took seriously the last sentence Riser said from his inner voice.
The figure of the blue-haired woman was extremely beautiful beyond 90 points, her skin was fair, her ass was large, her body looked slender with C Cup breasts and an athletic-looking stomach even though she was a girl. If she took off the pajamas she was currently wearing, people from a close distance could see that her curves looked like a woman who often exercised and trained her body. Not overly muscular, but the lean muscles of a woman that did not detract from her beauty.
Since she could hear Riser's inner voice, her identity was clear.
She was one of the heroines!
