Villain Retirement

Chapter 1007 Chapter 1007: Boring Child

"It's the President… the President is here!"

"Does that mean Megawoman is here too!?"

"Stupid, she's busy saving lives."

A few days later after Riley's attempt to meditate his darkness away, he was now visiting HAA. And as expected, all the students peered down from their classes to catch a glimpse of him. Unlike Mega Academy, where the classrooms were underground to protect the students from outside harm, Hero Academy was more like a normal campus; albeit still sharing some elements from Mega Academy.

Riley did not really think they needed much protection; after all, this was his territory — anyone who targets it probably just wanted to commit suicide. Of course, there's also the fact that one of the teachers was Miss Pepondosovich… who seemed to be taking her job extremely seriously.

"What are you children doing!? Get away from the windows or I swear I am going to fail all of you!" Miss Pepondosovich slammed her stick on her desk, causing her students to flinch before orderly sitting back to their seats, "Tch, this Riri — visiting when I'm teaching a class."

"Miss Pepondosovich, are you close with the President!?"

"Close to him!? I practically raised him!" Miss Pepondosovich crossed her arms before jumping onto her desk, "And I also raised his children with him!"

"Wa—Is it true that you also have a child with him!?"

"What the—where did that rumor even come from!? Who said that!?"

And while Miss Pepondosovich was screaming her lungs out inside the classroom, Riley was just walking around the campus. And as a matter of course, the heroes who were lounging in the Association building all came out to greet him; they couldn't, however, as Riley was with company — his wives and children.

Lucy and the others were currently walking behind Riley, watching him walk beside Katherine as he seemed to be giving her a tour of the place. And as a matter of course, Lucy was now very slowly making his way to Katrina.

"Mother, why have you succumbed to thy fate?" Lucy then whispered to Katrina.

"Succumb—fate? What fate are you talking about?" Katrina only raised an eyebrow as she glanced at her son, "And why are you still talking like that? You're not a child anymore, Lucy."

"Your fate of being a mistress, Mother. A concubine," Lucy squinted his eyes, "I do admit that aesthetically, Aunt Katherine's face is more beautiful — but overall, you win. Your bosoms where I once suckled are bigger than—"

"I am going to hit you if you don't stop talking," Katrina's eye twitched as she raised her fist, causing Lucy to just quietly back away.

"Think about it, Mother." Even then, however, Lucy still wanted the last words, "Do not let yourself be pushed, but I suppose as long as you are above your inferior variant, it is okay."

"My mother is not inferior than yours, Lucifer," Renna stoically said while shaking her head, "The two of them are literally the same person — one can not be superior to the other."

"You say that…" Lucy smirked, "...But my mother came from the same universe as Father."

"And yet my mother was the first to have her vagina ravaged by father."

"Can the two of you just stop?" Liza could not help but just cover her face in shame as Lucy and Renna once again started bickering with each other. Arthas who was walking with the two while Enel was on his shoulder, however, seemed to find all of this amusing. As for Karina, he was not really walking along with the rest of his siblings, but rather with Katrina and the others.

"Your children, they are… quite a duo," Karina breathed out, "I wonder what it would have been like to have grown up with them."

"..." Both Liza and Katrina could really only look at each other as they heard Karina's words.

"You… didn't really have a proper childhood, did you?" Liza sighed.

"That's… honestly properly for the best," Katrina slightly hesitated with her words, "Although I don't want to admit it… you turned out to be more normal."

"Fuck, no — I wasn't always," Karina let out a small chuckle as she looked at the sky, "I had 600 years to marinade; if I at least don't act normal, then I don't know what I would be."

"...You also sort of sound like Hannah," Katrina smiled.

"Hard not to adapt, there's two of them and all they do is scream and curse for no reason."

"Yup, that sounds like Hannah. Very… nice choice of vocabulary."

"Your son is right, you know."

"Hm…?"

And almost as if the atmosphere of their conversation instantly shifted; the tone of Karina's voice changed as she looked at her mother, who was clinging onto Riley's arm and resting her head on his shoulder.

"You shouldn't get yourself be pushed away by my mother," Karina shook her head, "I know it is pretty unconventional, but the two of you should protect what you have with Dad. Mom might have known him longer, but you've been with him longer. If it was me…

…I wouldn't be alright with someone else clinging to my lover."

"Karina… have you seen us?" Katrina only let out a small giggle as she wrapped her arm around Karina, "It's already weird that Liza and I are sharing one man — we've long accepted that Riley has multiple partners beside us."

"Well… it's different because the two of you are variants of each other."

"Hm… you wouldn't understand," Liza shook her head, "And I hope you never will — but loving a man the way we love your father is… wrong. We're obsessed with him."

"Riley is a very good lover, Miss Karina." And all of a sudden, Esme, who had just been quietly walking behind the group, joined in on the conversation, "The way he masterfully brushes his hand against my skin, and his long, thick—"

"Nope, no," Karina quickly covered her ears and walked faster before she could fully hear what Esme wanted to say.

"Ah, Oldest — how quaint and proper of you to join us young ones." And of course, Lucy was the first to acknowledge her presence, "Were you tired of listening to the old fools blabbering about taxes?"

"There are no taxes in the New World, Lucifer."

"No one asked for your baseless opinion, my dear sister."

"You are asking it by being wrong, Lucifer."

"Are the two of you…" Karina squinted her eyes as she looked back and forth between the two, "...always arguing?"

"Yes, Big Sister Karina." "As a matter of course, our dear oldest. What about you and Arthas, do you not dabble in arguments?"

"Well…" Karina looked at Arthas, "...I'm several centuries older than him."

"You should have just said you're boring, our dear oldest," Lucy spun toward Arthas before patting him on the shoulder, "It must have been hard, Arthas — growing old with a boring old sister."

"She is — well, she's always been an authoritative figure for me," Arthas breathed out while thinking, "Like she said, there's an age gap."

"So, she is boring."

"Do not be rude, Lucifer," Renna shook her head, "It is not her fault if she is."

"I'm not."

"Big sister Karina… is boring?" Enel, who was just enjoying the sights while sitting on Arthas's shoulder, turned to look down at Karina… before looking down at her, "Ish… big sister Karina boring, big giant people?"

"Huh?"

"Do not mind the toddler, he talks with invisible people," Lucy waved his hand, "He once told us he could see gigantic eyes watching us from above and even talking to him sometimes — the imagination of a child, but at least he has his own quirk and is not boring, like you."

"I'm not boring," Karina raised an eyebrow, "I'm not."

"Prove it then," Lucy looked Karina in the eyes, "A few seconds ago, someone descended from the Moon and is most likely heading here — you deal with him, our dear big sister."

"What are you…" And as Karina was about to ask what Lucy meant, the expression on her face quickly turned serious. It wasn't only her; the rest of her siblings were now also looking in a certain direction — specifically toward where the main gate of the HAA is located,

"...Another god. Mom, we can't be seen by them!"

Karina was about to get her mother, her mother, however, was busy clinging to Riley and giggling. And seeing her happy like this, she truly did not want to break them apart.

"A… Aunt Esme," Karina then quickly turned toward Esme, "Can you… deal with the visitor?"

"Kill it?" Esme tilted her head to the side.

"No, just… shoo them away?"

"So, kill it?"

"...No," Karina could really only blink a couple of times, "Fuck — the gods are starting to notice we're here. Mom! We really need to—"

"Boooring," Lucy let out a loud groan as he blocked Karina's path before she could even make it halfway to Katherine, "No wonder…

…our father did not even bother taking care of you."

"...What the fuck did you just say?"
