Riser just scoffed. "Those pathetic other pillars just can't recognize greatness. So what if Riser's parents just so happen to be brother and sister?

That just makes our bloodline stronger and purer! Riser is standing before you as proof that there were no ill effects of such a union as a perfectly normal noble devil.

" He said while smiling to himself. He was proud of his lineage, after all!

Jake just looked at this man with a pitying expression. "Dude, you're in your 20s, and you still talk in the third person... I hate to break it to you, but there were some side effects..." Everyone else in the room pretty much agreed as well.

Riser glared angrily at Jake for that comment. He was prepared to summon his fire to deal with him if it wasn't for Grayfia standing nearby, ready to interfere.

He was nervous of her but he smirked as a plan formed in his mind. "Who cares whether I'm correct or not," he declared, much to everyone's confusion. "What matters is what the people believe!

Riser's family owns one of the largest broadcast companies in the underworld, and if you, Jake Gremory, do not accept Riser's challenge, then he shall drag your name through the mud by telling everyone that Riser lost Rias to her brother!

" He laughed haughtily, much to the shock of everyone else in the room. Would he be insane enough to offend the family of one of the Satans!?

Jake was furious at "this piece of shit" for even daring to think of doing such a thing. Rias and even Grayfia were a few seconds away from blasting Riser out of existence.

Before they could, however, Jake spoke up angrily. "Fine then, dickhead. You and me, one on one. We'll fight it out in a week."

Riser smirked to himself in victory. All he had to do was defeat his father-in-law's greatest shame, and everything would be set back on the correct course.

Then he would marry Rias and use her remaining peerage pieces to increase the members of his harem! He would either kill or force her to trade away the two male members of her peerage as well.

"Hahaha, we shall face off in a week then!" He shouted before his teleportation circle lit up underneath him, and he vanished from the room.

Rias gently patted Jake on his shoulder. "Jake," she said, "You didn't have to accept his challenge. Who cares if there would be some weird rumors spread against us."

Jake didn't say anything for a second as he took some deep breaths to calm himself down. Jake couldn't believe there actually existed a guy more irritating than Malfoy Junior.

He knew, though, that guys like that wouldn't stop unless they were put in their place hard, at least once. Clearly, no one had yet to do that to Riser, so Jake decided the task would fall to him.

"..."

"Fuck that chicken guy," Koneko bluntly said out of nowhere. Easing some of the tension in the room.

Everyone laughed at that. With the intruder dealt with, Grayfia decided to head back out of the room and start redoing the wards on the mansion.

She didn't want a repeat of what just occurred. Jake along with Rias and her peerage, meanwhile, went back to the couch to continue what Rias wanted to speak with him about before their unwelcome visitor had interrupted them.

Hello, Onii-chan," Jake said to Sirzechs, trying to keep a completely straight face. Sirzechs, meanwhile, had tears of joy in his eyes. His brother had finally called him Onii-chan!

"Fia-tan!" Sirzechs said to his wife with glee in his voice. "He called me Onii-chan! This day is now amazing!" Oh, how Sirzechs wished he could vaporize all the evil paperwork in front of him and spend the whole day playing with his family!

Unfortunately, reality was cruel to him as he knew he'd be stuck behind his desk for the next few hours at least...

Grayfia just sighed in embarrassment at her husband's antics. Where had Jake even heard that term? He'd never been to Japan as far as she knew.

"Is there something you needed, Lord Jake?" Grayfia addressed him properly as she was on the clock and in professional maid mode.

Jake had finished up his discussion with Rias and was now in Sirzechs, or the Maou Lucifer's, private office to ask him a favor.

"I was wondering if I could actually go visit Serafall," Jake asked. He was also somewhat surprised that she herself hadn't taken the time to visit him yet and voiced his concern to his older brother.

Sirzechs looked somewhat ashamed upon hearing Jake ask about Serafall and why she had not decided to at least send a message yet. "I'm sorry, Jake," he apologized to his little brother.

"The truth of the matter is that Serafall doesn't even know you've actually returned from the past yet," he looked slightly guilty when he said that.

"What!? Why!?" Jake asked.

Grayfia answered for Sirzechs. "Serafall was slightly upset that she botched the mission twenty years in the making to capture the heroes who had caused you to initially time travel in the first place.

She was actually in the park during your entire encounter. She obviously couldn't interfere lest she create a time paradox. So she had to wait to capture the heroes after you had vanished. What none of us were expecting, however..." Grayfia explained.

Sirzechs cut in, "the leader who goes by Cao Cao had the True Longinus."

Jake looked confused, and Sirzechs recalled that his knowledge of sacred gears wasn't exactly stellar.

"The True Longinus," Sirzechs said, "is the most dangerous of all sacred gears to us devils." He said that sternly towards Jake, who nodded in understanding.

"Even I, the strongest devil, must be very cautious when facing an opponent with such a weapon."

Jake wondered how crazy strong that sacred gear must be to be taken as a serious threat by the Maous who can destroy continents!

"So what happened next?" Jake asked, concerned. If that guy hurt Serafall, Jake didn't care what fancy weapon he had; Jake would hunt him to the ends of the earth!
