Chapter 1024 Chapter 1024: Luck

"It's not like that, relax." Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Although Viel's tone was incredibly friendly, both Talia and Karina did not budge at all. Both of them fully knew what Viel was capable of, and yet neither seemed to care as they protected their father who probably didn't even need their protection.

As for Riley, he just remained in his seat, seemingly not even bothered by the sudden development happening around him.

"Relax, chill. Okay?" Viel was still completely not apprehensive at all as he took a step forward with his palms still raised in the air, "I am aware of your father's abilities — that he could absorb the ability of those who killed him. Quite unfair if you think about it, but I'm not really one to talk since I was already this strong the moment I was born, and I could also absorb souls if I want to become stronger."

"Then what do you want!? Stob beating around the bush and just tell us!"

"I want Riley to absorb my abilities, and in turn, maybe he could kill me using my own abilities plus what he already has," Viel smiled, "That is the simplest way I could explain it."

"That... why?"

"I've lived a very long amount of time, Karina," Viel let out a small sigh, "And I also want to free the souls inside me if I could, maybe my death could fix that."

"Wh—"

"No, it's okay," Viel spoke before Karina could say anything, "We've already talked about this, Mom. I want all of you to finally live your lives again."

"...You're talking to them? If they are listening, then tell them you're fucking stupid."

"Oh..." Viel let out a small chuckle, "...They like you. But that won't change my mind at all, I'm—"

"It is impossible, Mr. Viel." And as the server arrived to serve their orders, Riley finally spoke up while he gestured to everyone to take a seat, "Your abilities stem from a different place, and I can already feel that I will get nothing if you kill me."

"It won't hurt to try," Viel once again smiled as he approached Riley; being the first to join him at the table, "Although the illegal immigrants inside my head are also saying it won't work. But, hey — how about it?"

"I do not think so, Mr. Viel," Riley shook his head, "I would prefer to just eat and discuss some things about you and your existence."

"Me...?" Viel let out a small giggle as he glanced at Karina and the others, "I don't really have that kind of interesting life, I'd rather like to know about you."

"My life is not that interesting too, Mr. Viel," Riley shook his head, "Perhaps it would be better for us just to eat, then?"

"I guess so, but I feel really bad about revealing something that made you sad — I need to make it up to you somehow," Viel let out a sigh.

"Then how about you really join us in our adventure?" Karina was the second to join the table as she sat beside Viel, "You said you'll join us, that'll make things easier."

"Nope, no can do," Viel let out an awkward chuckle as he scratched the back of his head, "Now that I know this is a family matter, I'm too shy to insert myself in now."

"You... shy?" Karina raised an eyebrow as she saw the slightly cheeky smile on Viel's face.

"And my story has long been over," Viel breathed out, "It ended when the love of my life grew old and withered along with time. This is no longer my time."

"How about this, you guys clearly have no idea what you are even doing here — so, I'll grant you a wish, Riley Ross," Viel looked Riley in the eyes, "Any wish, and I will grant it as long as it is within my capabilities."

"What the — Enel? Where did you suddenly pop out from!? What in the—a portal?" And as Enel leaped into the portal and straight on to embrace her, Miss Pepondosovich finally noticed Riley and the others looking at her,

"Of course, this has something to do with you, Riri."

"Miss Pepondosovich," Riley raised his hand, "I need you to come with us, please."

"Am I going to get paid?"

"Yes."

"Okay then," Miss Pepondosovich then tried carrying Enel, but as he was practically already the same size as him, it did not really create a very endearing picture — cute, perhaps, but even more weird as Miss Pepondosovich just casually went through the portal,

"I'm seeing a lot of new faces here. Wait, this one looks like you — is she your firstborn I keep hearing about?"

"Yes, Miss Pepondosovich."

"Oh, this is an interesting one," Viel crouched down as he looked at Miss Pepondosovich, "A lucky rabbit, extremely rare. I would have loved to have had someone like you as a companion during my time, would have saved me all the heartaches."

"...And who is this?" Miss Pepondosovich gently dropped Enel, "Looks... sort of familiar."

"The Eternal Child, Miss Pepondosovich," Riley introduced Viel, "Viel."

"W..." Miss Pepondosovich did not really say anything else and just quickly went to Riley's side, but as soon as she saw Death sitting beside him, she just opted to go behind Riley, "I'm supposed to be a god of luck... but I've never felt so inadequate right now surrounded by giants."

"Do you want to call someone else while I still have the portal open, Riley Ross?" Viel then shrugged as he walked beside the portal, "A lover, perhaps?"

"...No," Riley shook his head, "Miss Pepondosovich is the only one we need."

"Well, okay then," Viel once again shrugged before snapping his fingers. And just like that, the portal disappeared and everyone else started moving again,

"Let's eat. I'm actually quite hungry, I haven't—"

"Darkday!?"

And before Viel could even return to his seat, a group arrived in the inn, with one of them quickly recognizing Riley.

It was a group of knights who had different colors of armor, and right in the center of them was an old, almost seemingly dying man.

The Pope and his paladins.

"As expected of Miss Pepondosovich," Riley then turned to look at the paladin donning a red armor,

"Bringing us an individual who we might just need right now. It has been a while...

...Miss Angela, and to think the Pope would still be alive despite looking like a corpse, I knew you were a Super."
