Chapter 197: Fate

Chapter 197: Fate

There was no doubt the women in the Gremory House were beautiful, but he had to say, he was dumbfounded when Riser saw how young an ancestor of Gremory House and Rias' grandma were. Moreover, they didn't seem to appear like grandmas. Instead, they were like women in their early 20s.

When Riser saw Rias, Grayfia, Venelana, Chysis Gremory (Rias' grandma), and Runeas Gremory gathered together, they stood side by side as they watched over Sirzech's dead body was about to be buried on the ground. He could see the sadness that radiated from their body posture, seemingly weak due to the death of their relative, yet as he saw their weak figures, he could see the exception among them.

Unlike the rest, Rias stood straight, facing this storm bravely and courageously, enduring everything.

Still, his eyes became thoughtful as they saw all of them, but nevertheless, his eyes couldn't help but dart to the corner where he could see a few familiar creatures that gathered together.

Apart from Ajuka, Riser knew the one who couldn't accept the death of Riser was definitely Sirzech's peerage members. While some of them might have been present during the meeting of the three factions, no one could help much when their master died, which made them blame themselves.

Moreover, the blame they received was enormous as they were Sirzech's servants, yet why were they alive?

Why did their master die, yet they lived well?

Even if all of them were staring at the funeral, Riser could feel their gazes on him occasionally, clearly unable to let go of their prejudice toward him.

Yet, did he care about them? No way.

They were too weak for him to care about them.

Nevertheless, Riser felt the gaze of his wife on him was quite strange.

'What's wrong?'

He talked to her with telepathy as she had been glancing at him and Rias occasionally.

'Dear, how about you talk with Rias?'

Sona also didn't feel surprised by his telepathy magic and talked with him calmly.

'.....'Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Riser was speechless. 'What do you mean? Do you want her to seduce me or something?'

Sona should be clear about what Rias felt toward him.

While Riser wasn't sure whether Rias' feeling was an obsession, love, or revenge, there was no doubt that Rias would leap into him like a hungry leopard who hadn't eaten for several days as long as there was a chance.

'.....'

The funeral had ended, and his problem should be cleared up, right?

As he saw his reflection in the mirror after he wiped his face with water, he knew that there was something that he needed to do first, and that was to clear up all the traces of him.

Sirzech's death had nothing to do with him.

Others believed so, and Riser also needed to believe so, but there was a single person who knew about his involvement in this matter.

'No, it should be two.'

Riser didn't forget about the being that was kept inside the body of that person.

'By then, everything will be clear.'

Still, after what, what should he do?

Riser felt that he had grown quite strong, and he knew that it was also almost impossible to kill him.

No, it was impossible to kill him anymore.

With "Ruler," the power that allowed him to "reverse" all the magical attacks and power effects used against him, all the attacks were meaningless. While healing and all the support given by the others would damage him, the "Crisis" would make him grow stronger, or he just deactivated the "Ruler," so nothing would happen to him when someone healed him.

Along with the body of Phoenix, was there even a being that could kill him? No way.

Nevertheless, Riser felt that he might use the chaos that was caused by the "Khaos Brigade."

'Should I get more Sacred Gear?'

The stronger he was, the better it was.

Having more Sacred Gear was definitely useful.

Nevertheless, he felt a little helpless as he thought that he couldn't get his hands on Sirzech's body as he knew the Sacred Gear created by Sirzech would definitely be strong.

With that thought, he dried the water on his face with his fire manipulation and left the toilet, but when he was about to return to his wife, he met an unexpected person.

Did fate draw them together?

Riser thought so, as when he was about to return to his path, he met Rias.
