Chapter 239: The One

Chapter 239: The One

"A-Amazing..."

"Is-Is this really something that a devil can do...?"

"Probably, he is no longer a devil."

"Of course, he is our Lucifer-sama!"

Like the others who entered this resort city for the first time, they could only stay in a daze as they watched everything in fascination. It was the first time they saw something like this.

Issei somehow felt that his existence was so small when he entered this hotel, but he quickly regained his confidence.

'I am the Red Dragon Emperor! I'm one of the strongest!'Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

So what if Riser was rich and above everyone?

As long as Issei becomes the strongest, he believes that he can get everything.

'You are correct, Partner. Only strength matters in the world of the supernatural.'

Yet, wasn't that also the reason why Ddraig died and sealed on the "Boosted Gear"?

It was because Ddraig lacked the strength that his existence was reduced to a mere tool.

However, whether the host or the heavenly dragon ignored such a problem and only wished to show their existence to this world.

Moreover, Riser had to pay the price for the humiliation they had received. Today, they might be weak, and Riser might be strong, but soon, in the near future, they believed that they could become stronger.

Sirzech might have passed away, but his teaching remained deep in Issei's heart.

'Sirzech-sama, I will also protect Buchou!'

Issei glanced at Rias, who calmly faced everything, falling into a daze due to her beauty, yet at the same time, he lowered his gaze to Rias' boobs before showing a perverted laugh.

"Hehehe..."

"Issei-kun..."

"Issei-san..."

"Issei-senpai..."

Kiba, Asia, and Gasper looked at Issei and sighed helplessly. They knew that Issei's expression was inappropriate, especially in this type of place and occasion, but they decided to let him go as this was far better than his usual act.

Meanwhile, Rias just ignored Issei as it wasn't her first time being leered. She was beautiful, and it was normal for her to become the center of attention, attracting everyone's attention.

To be honest, with her previous status, it wouldn't be weird to say she was the princess of the Devil.

Rias was above everyone.

But now?

Rias' heart was filled with jealousy as she observed the hotel, thinking that everything should be hers, yet due to her mistake, everything was taken away from her.

Moreover—

'Sona...'

If Sona wasn't around, then...

"Oi! Oi! Who invited this bimbo to the party?"

This rude and full of mock voices directly attracted Rias and her peerage members' attention.

Rias looked up and narrowed her eyes at the several figures who approached her.

"Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas..."

A young man with black magic-like tattoos on his face, on his upper body, and green hair approached Rias with disdain. Like Rias, he wasn't alone as he was accompanied by his peerage members. However, unlike before, there was also a mix of women among his peerage members, but similarly, all of them dressed in delinquent styles.

"Stop! If you want to fight, then you should leave."

Hearing this voice, everyone directly stopped, especially Zephyrdor.

"I am sorry for the rudeness. I won't do it again."

Zephyrdor directly apologized to the figure who approached them.

Sona Sitri.

Compared to Rias and Sairaorg, Zephyrdor paid more attention and gave his highest respect to Sona, especially when she was the sister of Leviathan and the wife of Lucifer.

Sona's status was above all of them.

Zephyrdor might be a bully, but he had mastered the art of the bully.

Zephyrdor's peerage members also followed and apologized to Sona before they left.

"Hey, wait a moment! Our fight isn't over!" However, there was no way for Rias to let Zephyrdor go, especially after he had mocked her.

"What do you want, bitch?" Zephyrdor looked at Rias lazily. "If you want to fight, then wait until the start of the gathering." Leaving those words, he didn't care whether Rias was angry or not.

"Wait!"

"Rias."

"Sona." Rias frowned and asked, "Are you going to let me swallow this anger?"

"If you are still angry at him, then you will have plenty of time to fight. However, don't fight here. I don't want you to destroy this place."

"That's true." Sairaorg also nodded. "There is a lot of time for us to fight each other." Unlike Rias, he owed a lot of things to Riser, and he also didn't want to destroy Riser's hotel due to this small conflict.

"..."

Rias swallowed the words that were about to come out from her lips.

Yet, she bit her lower lip due to her frustration.

Why? Why? Why?

Rias didn't care about the losers like Sairaorg, who could swallow this anger, but at this moment, she didn't get angry at Zephyrdor. Instead, she was furious at Sona, who she felt like Sona had made her position above everyone else.

Why was it you?

Everything should be hers, yet now...

"It's time. Let's go."

Sona left with her peerage members after saying those words.

Sairaorg also followed up since he also didn't want to be late.

"Buchou?"

Issei, who had calmed down, sighed in relief as there was no conflict and also reminded Rias that it was time, but somehow, he shuddered at Rias' gaze.

"Let's go."

Rias ignored Issei and walked, leading her peerage members toward the atrium where the main event of the gathering would start.

Still, at this moment, the young man, who had been staring at Asia, smiled before he followed everyone.

All the youths who gathered in this place would introduce themselves to every high-echelon in the Underworld. No one was nervous, and all of them were in high spirits as they knew they would start to enter the society soon.

"Please follow me."

Following the guide, they walked toward the massive door, which would lead them to everyone, but the moment they entered, they were hit by an incredible aura that shook their souls, hearts, and beings as if they were lower beings.

Facing the aura that conquered everyone, Rias looked up softly, staring at the source of this aura with obsession, thinking that he was the only one for her.
