Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 147: Broken

Chapter 147: Broken

After his match ended, Riser didn't stay at the stadium but went to the hotel built by him with his family.

His hotel was completed, but it still needed trial and error as it was necessary to train the employees on the matter of hospitality.

Fortunately, everything was good.

Lord Phenex, Lady Phenex, his brothers, Lord Sitri, Lady Sitri, and many others were satisfied with their stay at his hotel.

Still, in the morning, when they had woken up and eaten breakfast, they waited for the protagonist, but it wasn't until late at noon that they saw his figure with his wife, along with Serafall, who kept bothering him.

Yet, they had to say this scene was quite bizarre, especially when Sona was supported by Riser.

Frankly, wasn't it supposed to be the other way around?

After all, the one who was hurt was Riser, but why was he the one who supported Sona?

"Are you okay, Sona?" Lady Sitri asked in concern.

Meanwhile, Lord Sitri kept staring at Riser in silence.

"I am sorry for my son." Lord Phenex, who was by the side of Lord Sitri, could only apologize.

Lady Phenex was also helpless, but she also asked Sona in concern.

Riser could only laugh dryly as he was watched by many.

While it was good that the relationship between Riser and Sona became better and returned to how it was used previously, they were afraid that Sona's body might be wrecked by this beast.

Still, they had to say among the devils that Riser's way of fighting was different.

If the others were full of elegance, using magic and various tricks, Riser was brutal.

While they had seen such a way of fighting when he previously fought Kokabiel, Vali, and Azazel, it was just through a video, so the impact was less than when they watched his fight against Tannin, which happened in real-time.

Frankly, they wondered what changed him so much after all; he wasn't like this before.

Previously, Riser might have been arrogant, but that arrogance was cute somehow compared to his current.

Yet, there was no doubt he felt more reliable than before.

"I am okay. You don't need to worry, mother." Sona showed a gentle and loving smile.

"........" 2x

Lady Phenex and Lady Sitri thought that they needed to talk to Riser, especially when they noticed a red mark on Sona's slender shoulders.

How rough was their sex?

However, the good thing was that they might see their grandchildren soon, right?

Still, the one who congratulated him wasn't only his family, but Sairaorg and Misla, who came in the morning as their villa was nearby, stayed at the hotel with everyone.

"Hahaha... Riser! Your match is a beast!"

Sairaorg was so happy, like Riser's victory was his victory.

Frankly, when Riser was on the stage before, Sairaorg also wanted to fight Riser, but he knew with his current self, his defeat was clear.

'I need to work harder!' Sairaorg thought.

"Okay, okay. You don't need to hug me."

Still, Riser turned his focus to Misla, who was behind Sairaorg.

"Congratulations on your victory, Riser-kun."

"Yes, thank you, Misla-san."

When their eyes met, it was clear what they wanted to convey to each other.

"I am sorry for not being able to come and can only watch your match on television." Misla apologized, but then she asked in concern, "How is your body?"

"It's okay. I understand your situation, and as you can see, I am great now."

With just one night of sleep, his body had recovered.

Wait, did he ever sleep?

All he remembered was that he was doing it with Sona after he returned to the hotel.

"That's great." Misla nodded with a smile.

Even though Misla's Sleeping Disease could be alleviated with his "Feng Shui," it didn't make her disease disappear, so it was impossible for her to leave this city.

If she left, then her disease would hit her once again.

While she wished to leave, he told her not to as he was afraid she might get sick once again, and due to that, he might make him worried and unable to focus on the match.

If she lost his "Rating Game" due to her, could she forgive herself?

So, she followed his words and stayed in her villa, watching his fight.

Yet, she had to say how much she wished to leap onto him and hug him tightly before they had dirty, violent sex.

However—

"Is it only me, or is your relationship with my son quite close?"

"Yeah, how come you two seem to be close?"

Lady Phenex and Lady Sitri asked.

Misla was stunned, but then her face was calm, then said, "Isn't it normal? He is rather close with my son."

"Well, that's true."

"That's right."

The two nodded as they felt that it was quite normal for Riser and Misla to become close due to Sairaorg. As for the thought Riser and Misla had a secret relationship, such a thought didn't cross their minds at all, especially when their age difference was massive. Moreover, Misla was the mother of Riser's best friend.

Was Riser so abominable to touch his mother's friend?

Lady Sitri and Lady Phenex didn't think so.

Watching their expressions, Misla sighed in relief, but then the words of Sairaorg made her and Riser almost dread.

"Oh, right, my ancestor wishes to see you," Sairaorg suddenly said.

"Ancestor? Do you mean, Zekram Bael-sama?"

The one who asked this question was Lord Phenex and Lord Sitri. While they might be the father of Riser and Sona, compared to Zekram Bael, they were still children.

"Yes." Sairaorg nodded. "Before my ancestor left, he told me to tell Riser to meet him on our territories."

"...."

Frankly, this sudden move by inviting the leader of the Great King Faction, Zekram Bael, surprised them; they didn't think too much as it was natural for their house to maintain a good relationship with the Great King Faction.

They might be part of the Four Great Satans, but it didn't mean they were enemies with the Great King Factions.

So, Riser's wish to invite Zekram Bael, Lord Bael, and Sairaorg didn't make them question him. Nevertheless, it still surprised them when Zekram Bael suddenly came, as they thought someone with his status wouldn't come to Riser's match.

Yet, this invitation was different.

Riser was invited by Zekram Bael to his territory.

Was he going to join the Great King Faction?

At this point, they wished for Sairaorg and Misla to leave so they could ask Riser.

Nevertheless, Misla was nervous as she thought that the reason why Riser needed to leave for the Bael Territory was due to their relationship.

"Geez, why are you so serious? I was just invited to visit Zekram Bael-sama's place."

Riser only rolled his eyes, but then he said, "Well, it is probably due to my words last night. After all, I want to aim for the top." He then looked at Misla and tried to reassure her with his eyes.

Hearing those words, while they felt skeptical, they thought that it might be one of the reasons.

Nevertheless, Lord Phenex and Lord Sitri didn't think that Riser's move was bad as Riser could also ally himself with the Great King Faction, and Serafall could ally herself with the Four Great Satans.

While many houses could only ally with one side, they could ally themselves with two sides without harm.

Still, Riser's words also made them think about his words last night.

When Riser was about to leave, he was stopped by the reporters and was asked what his ambition was. Naturally, they asked him politely, as they knew it was better not to mess around with him.

"I will aim for the top."

Riser's words were short, and he didn't say much as he was hurt, but the reporters were so excited hearing those words as it meant he wasn't going to stop with Tannin.

He would continue to fight until he reached the top.

It meant his aim was to defeat the champion of the Rating Game, Diehauser Bellial.

If it was before, they might think of him as boasting, but after his fight with Tannin, they had to say otherwise.

They thought that Riser might have a chance.

Nevertheless, his words brought so much excitement to the reporters and his family since if Riser could only become the champion of the Rating Game, it would bring so many benefits to the two families.

Many thought that they wished to see such a scene soon and couldn't wait for him to challenge the champion of the Rating Game, Bellial Diehauser.

Yet Serafall thought differently. While many thought that Riser might focus on his "Rating Game," she knew his ambition wasn't going to stop at the "Rating Game." Instead, the "Rating Game" was just his means to get his hands on what he wanted.

There was no doubt that even if Riser might seem harmless and kind, he was still a fire.

Even if it was warm by his side, if someone got too close, they would be burnt.

Yet... yet... Serafall just couldn't stop it.

She knew where his ambition led, and she could imagine what kind of misery he might cause, yet she wondered why she found a charm in such a broken man.
