"Riser Phenix," Grayfia spoke. "Why are you here, and how did you penetrate our clan's wards?" She was most concerned about the latter. She didn't deem Riser himself to be much of a threat.

As a high class his strength was about even with Rias, but Grayfia doubted he could hope to face Jake and Rias at the same time and not get thrashed...

Before he could answer, Rias spoke up and told Grayfia that apparently Zeoticus had handed over the way to bypass their wards and given Riser the coordinates to her room!

Grayfia scowled. If that man wasn't already kicked out, then he would be for such a foolish act.

All it would take is one spy in the Phoenix clan's staff to leak that information to the old Satan faction, and then Rias or her son could have been attacked. Grayfia was not happy!

"So, who the hell is this asshole anyway?" Jake asked, still feeling a bit out of the loop.

"That's Riser Phenix," Kiba answered as he had finally finished recovering himself from Grayfia's display of power.

"He used to be our king's fiancé, but the Gremory clan's ancestor, Runeas, forbade the union under the pretext that it would basically be handing over our entire clan to the Phenix's for and i quote "nothing special in return.""

Jake didn't know who Runeas was but figured he should ask after this tense situation was over. "So, if you're no longer engaged, then clearly you have no reason to be here.

Piss off and don't talk to my sister again!" Jake said as he flipped the bird... the bird.

"How crass," Riser commented at Jake's vulgar gesture. "But Riser is afraid he still has business here. Our noble Phenix clan has not accepted the engagement being called off...

Furthermore!" He once again pointed at Jake angrily. "We have business to settle. You're the one who has been peddling those false tears and causing Riser's noble family's sales numbers to plummet!"

Jake now realized who this guy's family was. These were the devils that had apparently held a monopoly on "Phoenix tears" before Luna and Blaze came along and gave them an economic slap to the face when they started selling real phoenix tears at a much more affordable price.

"What's the matter?" Jake said with a smirk. "Can't handle a little competition? It's nothing personal, after all... it's just business.

" Jake felt super cool after finally being able to say that line in real life! He also felt like he nailed its delivery as Riser glared at him harder.

"..."

"...lame," Koneko bluntly said from the side as Rias and everyone else laughed.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Jake just turned to the short girl with a fake hurt expression. "Eh, tu, loli?"

"Don't call me a loli!" She exclaimed with a pout. It had appeared to Jake that he may have touched a nerve there.

"Jake, don't bully my precious loli... I mean, my precious rook," Rias said with a laugh as she playfully slapped him on the shoulder. Koneko just sulked on the couch and started stuffing herself with more cookies...

Jake just told her he was sorry with a laugh before he turned and apologized to Koneko as well.

"Ara, poor Koneko eats enough food every day for ten growing girls and yet she never gains a single pound to grow bigger," Akeno said, to which the girl actually hissed back at her.

Jake wondered if the cat ears he saw on the girl's head for a split second were real? Of course his otaku sister had a genuine cat girl in her peerage...Jake wondered if he could one up her by getting a fox girl...

"..."

Riser just stood there, looking at their interaction for a second. Did they forget he was here? They were completely ignoring him all of a sudden! Then an expression of realization appeared on Riser's face as his brain came to some strange revelation...

"I've figured out what is truly going on here!" He declared, staring at Jake.

"Huh," Jake said, looking back towards Riser. "You're still here?" he questioned, no longer interested. "Go away, shoo." He said while waving his hand in a shooing motion.

"It's time for you to leave, Riser Phenix," Grayfia declared as she was preparing to send him back. "And tell Zeo that we will be changing the wards, and he will no longer have access himself!"

"Not so fast," Riser declared. "I'm not leaving till I know the truth."

"Fine," Jake said with a sigh. "What do you want to know, dude?"

Riser smirked cockily as he stared at Jake. "It's obvious now why the noble engagement between Rias and Riser was truly called off. Yes, Riser sees the truth now." He pointed at Jake.

"It is obvious to Riser now that you are trying to steal the beautiful Rias and her peerage all for yourself! The noble Riser will not stand for it! Riser demands a challenge between us for her hand!

" Riser declared proudly, to everyone's shocked and disgusted looks. 'How the hell had he come up with that theory?' they all wondered.

Jake physically gagged. "Dude, that's disgusting. She's my sister."

Riser looked confused at that statement before he sneered and laughed at Jake for his supposed ignorance. "Ha, Riser, forgets that you are half human and probably have been living under their pathetic morals.

Riser will have you know that it is completely normal for some noble devils to have relationships between close family members." He said with a completely straight face.

Jake was horrified at that revelation as he almost gagged again at the thought. He turned to Rias with a disgusted look on his face. "...is that true?" He asked her.

Rias just shook her head, absolutely horrified as well! "NO, IT MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT!" She shouted. How dare this flaming chicken try to make her look gross in front of her new brother!

"It is not normal at all and is, in fact, extremely frowned upon. It's the reason why, despite having so much wealth and so many children, the Phenix clan can't find anyone to match their children to!" She explained to Jake.

"It's also one of the main reasons I so vehemently refused to marry this guy," she finished, pointing at Riser with a disgusted look.
