Chapter 37 It Only Took A Few Days And A Little Effort To Destroy One Of The Seven Great Families
Actually, Riser did not plan to appear so domineering like this, even if he came to this birthday party to deal with protagonist, he would not use excessive violence such as slapping the face of someone other than protagonist.
But this Diodora...
This person really made him angry.
Riser, as the villain had a fairly high tolerance in dealing with Issei because the other party was protagonist.
So he always refrained from killing Issei immediately.
But it's different if someone other than the protagonist provokes him, even daring to threaten him and his family.
Recalling his parents in this world treated him very well, even to the point of making him moved.
Now a mere supporting character dares to threaten his family?
Threaten his parents?
Riser felt a burst of anger in his heart, which was why he did not even hesitate to slap Diodora in front of many people.
On top of that, he also noticed Diodora's gaze as he looked at Rias.
That man seemed to be greedy for his fiancée's beauty, and he dared to show it in front of him.
This addition alone was enough to make Riser slap Diodora repeatedly.
[Diodora, you should be grateful that I only slapped you and humiliated you in front of many people for daring to threaten my family. For the Astaroth family behind you, I will give you one chance to let you go.]
[But let's see, with your personality, you definitely can't withstand this humiliation and will most likely come for revenge using your family's power.]
[At that time, I will definitely move to destroy the Astaroth family. With plot knowledge, I know some of your family's dark secrets. In the end it will only take a few days and a little effort just to destroy one of the seven great families in Japan.]
Riser's inner voice sounded indifferent and so cold that the heroines knew that this man was furious.
This was the first time they had heard Riser so angry at someone and wanting to destroy someone's family.
That person named Diodora was already dead...
You made villain angry.
Even protagonist has been suppressed many times by villain.
Now Diodora, who is said to be a mere supporting character, dares to provoke the villain by threatening his family?
The heroines could understand why Riser was so angry and didn't mind using such cruel means as destroying the other party's family.
After all, the other party dared to threaten his family.
It would be strange if Riser wasn't angry with his identity as a villain character.
And Riser seems to have something that can destroy any of the seven great families in Japan with ease.
This makes some of the heroines shudder, this is the power of the villain who knows the plot of this world?
It makes sense that you know many secrets in this world because you know the plot. Now that they know this, the heroines remind themselves not to become Riser's enemies.
You must not provoke Riser!
Otherwise, you or your family will be destroyed.
Unlike the protagonist Issei who has high combat power as a mercenary king abroad.
Villain has plot knowledge that he can use to his advantage, even to destroy one big family in Japan, he only needs to use the information he knows to destroy that family.
The heroines who are proud of their family background are naturally afraid of this ability.
So it's better not to become Riser's enemy in the future.
Even if you accidentally offend him, you should immediately apologize and beg for him forgiveness.
At this moment, in the large and magnificent House of Astaroth.
In a certain private mansion.
A woman was biting her thumb while sitting in her study.
Her pretty face looked anxious and frightened.
This woman is Latia Astaroth, one of the heroines from the Astaroth family.
Latia is a beautiful woman with almond eyes and long blonde hair with blue hair tips.
She has a voluptuous body and large breasts that are not inferior in proportion to those of Rias.
She was currently wearing a noble-like dress while holding an elegant folding fan.
That folding fan was now being used to fan her anxious-looking face.
Originally she was the type of woman who had a very calm personality, her composure not easily shaken by others.
But now that calm personality was thrown out the window, she was already like this after hearing Riser's inner voice before.
"Damn! Diodora, you didn't just have the idea to drug me and throw me at that disgusting protagonist to please him."
"Now you are even provoking a villain who can destroy the Astaroth family easily using only the information he knows."
"If you're not stupid, you're just too arrogant Diodora! You don't even have eyes because you hang out with someone like Issei."
"It's over...doesn't Riser now consider the Astaroth family to be in the same camp as the protagonist?"
Latia felt dizzy, she wasn't worried about Diodora being slapped and humiliated by Riser, she was even happy about Diodora's suffering.
But she was worried about the safety of her family who would most likely be destroyed by Riser after Diodora planned to take revenge on Riser.
As the young lady of the Astaroth family, Latia naturally cared deeply for the family that had raised her. Naturally, she did not want the family to be destroyed just because of her cousin's foolishness in provoking someone much stronger than him.
It was probably fine if her cousin provoked someone other than Riser, because if it was someone else it could still be handled by the power of the Astaroth family and the connections they had.
But that stupid cousin actually provoked Riser...the villain who knows the plot of this world...
Even if you want to help Issei, you can't be too arrogant and stupid to threaten Riser and his family at his fiance's birthday party...
"Sigh... What should I do to keep Riser from destroying the Astaroth family? Stop Diodora from taking revenge on Riser? Impossible..."
Latia immediately rejected the idea of persuading Diodora not to take revenge.
Although the man always put on a gentle mask on the outside, but in his heart, she knew the man was very proud and did not tolerate the humiliation that marred his face.
So she had to think of another idea, at least one that could make Riser let go of the Astaroth family.
As for Diodora? It was up to Riser what to do with her stupid cousin.
Latia didn't have much affection for Diodora, she had actually disliked him for a long time because he secretly often looked at her with lecherous eyes. And after hearing Riser's inner voice telling her what things Diodora would do to her in the future.
Latia's dislike for Diodora was already at the level of hate and disgust. She also hated and feeling disgusted Issei the first time she met him a few days ago.
There was no need to explain what happened the first time they met, but she certainly did not have a good impression of Issei as he kept trying to get close to her and teasing her with a disgusting smile.
Latia shuddered remembering Issei's smile a few days ago.
She honestly did not understand why such a flamboyant and perverted man was the protagonist in this world.
Instead of a protagonist, wouldn't Issei be more suitable as a villain? And Riser who was handsome and had plot knowledge was more suitable to be the protagonist?
Well it must be the fault of the dog author who probably has brain problems for preferring to have a perverted character as the protagonist in his book.
Thinking hard for an idea, Latia finally had an idea worth trying.
There was a big smile on her mouth which she immediately covered with her folding fan.
"It's a pity that I refused to go to Rias's birthday party earlier. But that's fine, I can still use another way to meet villain."
...
After the face-slapping scene that was actually a physical face-slap. The atmosphere in the hall became lively again, even people had started giving Rias gifts one by one.
You might be wondering what happened to Diodora and Issei?
Those two people had been forcibly evicted by the security guards on Riser's orders supported by Rias.
Although Rias was worried about Diodora's revenge, but after hearing Riser's inner voice saying that he could handle the Astaroth family easily.
Rias breathed a sigh of relief and chose to trust Riser, she believed in his abilities.
She even comforted him because after what happened earlier, Riser seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't talk much to her during the birthday party.
But he chatted a bit with some women like Grayfia, Sona, and other beautiful women which made Rias jealous and wanted to immediately pull Riser away from those bitches.
But as the host of this birthday party, she still had to receive and open gifts from other guests.
What a pain in the ass!
What she aiming in this birthday party was actually a gift that Riser was going to give her and she wanted to show off to Grayfia and other women who might be interested in Riser.
She wanted to prove that she was still an important woman in Riser's heart.
So you guys better give up and go find another man.
The point is don't try to seduce my fiancée again!
Seeing that Rias was still busy with the other guests, Riser didn't bother her and sat at one of the tables while enjoying the food and drinks.
But he wasn't alone, or rather there were four women sitting with him.
And all of them were heroines!
[What's the situation? I understand if it's Grayfia and Sona who I've met a few times. But why are these two newcomers coming to me?]
[Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta, these two heroines also came to me, sat with me, and ate with me as if we were friends. Didn't we just meet? Please don't act too familiar with me!]
"Riser, this chocolate cake is delicious too. Do you want to try it?"
"Sure."
Riser opened his mouth and ate a piece of chocolate cake from Irina who fed him with her fork.
"How does it taste?" Asked Irina who was sitting in front of Riser with a smile.
The dining table was round, to the left and right of Riser were Grayfia and Sona, while in front of Riser were her and Xenovia.
"Not bad." Riser replied innocently after finishing chewing the cake from Irina.
The heroines: "...."
See?
Four heroines, no, five to be exact with Rias still busy with other guests.
They all rolled their eyes at Riser's actions which contrasted with his inner voice.
Your inner voice says no, but here you are naturally acting familiar with us as if we were friends.
The last one was for Irina and Xenovia who had just gotten acquainted with Riser a few minutes ago of course.
And here Irina took the initiative to feed Riser under the gaze of the other four heroines.
So brave!
Some heroines like Grayfia, Rias, and Sona frowned at this scene.
Grayfia who was already Riser's woman, she was annoyed at being preceded by the newcomer. So she took a fried potato stick from her plate and gave it directly to Riser's mouth.
She used her hand in a more intimate gesture under the gaze of the other heroines. No, actually it was also witnessed by the many guests present at the birthday party.
The women started gossiping.
And the men stared at Riser with jealousy and hatred, but they dared not do anything to disturb Riser.
Especially after the previous incident where they were forced to kneel only with pressure from him.
They now did not dare to look down on or mock Riser anymore, at least not when the man himself was not far away from them.
Even Diodora Astaroth who came from a large family was slapped and forcefully thrown out of the birthday party by Riser for provoking him.
Others had such a fate, what about them?
The other men chose to avert their eyes from Riser, not only did they not want to provoke him, they also did not want to be fed dog food.
Grayfia was happy that Riser was not disgusted by being fed by her hands, and she even felt her fingers being licked a little by him.
It made her a little embarrassed, but she still maintained a calm face as if it was a natural thing for lovers to do.
She could feel the sharp gaze of the red-haired woman as she did that, but she did not care about the woman and gently asked the man sitting beside her.
"How was it? Was it good?"
Riser nodded with a smile on his face. "Your potatoes are very good Grayfia."
It was visible to some of the female eyes who were sitting with Riser, that Riser seemed to be treating Grayfia better than them.
Hey what's with this bias?
Aren't we heroines too?
Irina and Xenovia, who had just found out that they were heroines, were not surprised as they already had a vague guess about this.
Even so, they were somehow bothered by Riser's biased actions.
Irina's lips twitched, while Xenovia looked expressionless as usual, but if you looked at the direction of her gaze, you could see that the blue-haired girl was looking straight at Riser's face while eating.
Sona who was closest to the dog food beside her couldn't stand it, with her personality, she was too shy to take the action of feeding Riser like Grayfia and Irina did.
If only Tsubaki were here... She might have been able to call for reinforcements. But unfortunately that woman inexplicably said she had important business and left first after giving Rias the gift. So right now she could only eat quietly while pretending to be calm of course.
She occasionally asked the maid to give Riser a new drink whenever she saw his glass was empty.
A special kind of attention from this women, at least she was doing it rather than nothing.
Riser who enjoyed the special attention from the heroines felt strange.
[I...well whatever. It's better to just enjoy it.]
The heroines: "...."
...
When Riser was enjoying a birthday party with the heroines.
The protagonist of this world began to doubt his life.
How many times had he failed to pretend to get a woman?
Leave aside Deadpool who had fought with him and defeated him in battle. Although the other party was sneaky for using poison, he didn't feel too bad about being defeated by him.
But it was different with the rich second-generation who he had always considered a waste turned out to be a cultivator and that was strong enough to make him kneel with just pressure from him.
His mentality as a Dragon King was devastated and deeply saddened.
He didn't even have the chance to fight back because he felt his body was so heavy at that moment and could only allow himself to be kicked out of Rias' birthday party by the security guard there.
Of course he wasn't kicked out alone, there was also Diodora who was currently nursing her swollen face in the hospital.
"Damn! Dragon King, don't worry. I will definitely take revenge on Riser and his family. My Astaroth family will declare war with the Phenex family!"
"Dragon King, how about we work together to destroy the Phenex family? Not only do we get revenge on Riser, but we can also break the engagement between Rias and Riser."
"That way, Rias will be free and you can get her, Dragon King!"
Diodora of course knew of Issei's obsession with Rias, in fact he too was tempted by Rias' beauty and wanted her. But he could think about that in the future, because right now he could also use this opportunity to help Issei.
Not only to return the favor, in fact he also wanted to utilize the connections he had with the Dragon King.
Issei's eyes lit up at Diodora's offer of cooperation, even though he had been depressed before, now he was eager for revenge.
Sure enough, the protagonist is a very optimistic creature and does not give up easily.
So this is what Issei looks like now.
With a crooked Dragon King smile on his face, which made Diodora's eyes blink twice.
Issei nodded at his pig teammate and said, "Okay, I can mobilize several billion funds from overseas to help the Astaroth family squeeze the Phenex family's business to death."
Diodora looked at Issei with admiration, even giving him a thumbs up.
"As expected of the Dragon King!"
Issei was pleased to see Diodora's admiring gaze on him, it healed a little of his ego that had been battered several times before.
Maybe...
Maybe the Dragon King can still rise and take off after this, right?
Getting many beauties and building a harem is his dream.
So he should keep his spirits up and not give up easily!
