[229] Sirzechs's Wrath!

In the underworld, looking at Rias's expression on the other side, Sirzechs guessed that there must be something going on.

As a brother who adored his little sister, he naturally understood his precious sister well. Although she was a genius, most of the time, she was extremely focused on achievements, always striving to be the best.

Especially at this moment, with Rias clearly hesitant to speak, Sirzechs naturally understood that his little sister definitely had something on her mind.

"Speak up, Rias-chan. What's the urgent matter this time?"

"It's not a big deal, just-"

"Since you don't know how to start, let's end this for now. I have many things to attend to."

He was about to hang up the communication, but the slight smile on his lips indicated his current thoughts.

"No, Onii-sama, I do have something."

"Then spill it. Look at you, is this Rias I know?"

"It's just-... I want to ask, Onii-sama, what are August's preferences or things he likes?"

These words immediately stunned Sirzechs, and his instinctive reaction was that his little sister had grown up.

Immediately, a burst of joy followed. He had sent August to Kuoh with this plan in mind. One was his best friend, and the other was his adorable little sister. If they got together, it would undoubtedly be what he most wanted to see.

Especially now that August had become Satan-class level, setting aside everything else, having a Satan-level force was worth it.

"It seems that our Rias-chan has finally grown up."

"Onii-sama~"

"Alright, alright, I won't say more. I won't say more."

Seeing Rias's discontent, Sirzechs waved his hand, indicating that he would stop here.

However, being teased by her brother like this, Rias also felt a bit embarrassed. After all, she was still a young lady.

"As for August, he doesn't really have specific likes. The main thing is, this guy lacks nothing. As the sole descendant of the Demon clan, although it can't compare to the top families, he definitely lacks no wealth."

There was one thing Sirzechs didn't mention, that is, the wealth of other families belonged to the family, not the individual. Even for pure-blood top devil families, even if they were the lords, they only had managerial rights, not ownership.

But the Demon clan was different. The Demon clan only had August. Everything belonged to August alone.

If you were to calculate it like this, in the entire underworld, in the entire devil race, there were not many devils richer than him, even among the Satans.

Hearing Sirzechs say this, Rias nodded inwardly. A duke couldn't be without money.

"If you have to say, then he's probably a bit lustful. All the hundreds of maids, handmaidens, various guards around him, without exception, are all womens. And, in his territory, there isn't a single male."

"Lustful? I know about that."

Did they even need to say this? How long had he been in Kuoh Academy? He already had so many women around him.

Not to mention Sona and her peerages, he also had Hilda, Yolda, three fallen angels, and a nun he picked up from who knows where.

Now, this guy's side was already full of women.

If not for this, she wouldn't be getting more and more anxious. At this rate, August's women would only increase.

"Onii-sama, is there anything else?"

"Anything else... Really, nothing. You also know, this guy rarely leaves the underworld."

"If that's the case, then I'll hang up for now~"

After saying that, she hung up the communication. The crystal ball returned to tranquility, and Sirzechs's illusion disappeared.

Looking at his little sister's behavior, Sirzechs smiled slightly because he could see that his little sister was anxious.

And when he thought of this, Sirzechs also associated it with Rias's engagement.

Back then, during the great war between the old and new satan factions, Phenex used this engagement as a condition to obtain support. It was to support himself and support the new Satan faction, and his father agreed.

But he had never agreed to this matter from beginning to end.

He hoped that his sister would be happy. Because the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, he didn't want his sister to be the same. However, wishes were one thing, reality was another.

Over the years, leveraging the name of Satan Lucifer, with the Phenex Tears, the Phenex had completely drawn a huge network of relationships in the underworld.

Now, even he couldn't act rashly, and pulling a hair would move the whole body.

"August, Rias's matter, only you can perfectly resolve it~"

Sirzechs muttered and his eyes sparkled with hope.

He wanted status! He wanted position! He wanted strength! He wanted potential!

Rias's matter could only be perfectly resolved by August appearing.

Even if Rias really defeated Riser in the rating game, it was unlikely that the engagement would be canceled.

Because this engagement was the Phenex investing in Sirzechs. Now that Sirzechs had succeeded, it was time for dividends. This was the interest of the family, not a matter of the feelings of two children.

Creak~

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Grayfia, dressed as a maid, walked in.

Seeing the empty medicine bowl on the table, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. This wasn't just Sirzechs's pain, it was also her torment.

"Grayfia, you've come."

"Yeah, just a while ago, Lord Phenex came to see Lord Gremory"

"He came to see my father?"

"Yes, it should be about Rias's engagement."

"Couldn't hold back any longer? The agreement was made to be fulfilled after Rias's human education."

"Phenex seems to have made connections with some force."

"They want to quickly fulfill the engagement and then openly use my name for their benefit, right?"

Sirzechs, speaking to this point, emitted a killing intent. During the old and new satan faction wars, many devils had died at his hands.

There was no one who ascended to the Satan position who was a good person.

Even Serafall, who usually presented herself as a magical girl and siscon, turned countless people into ice sculptures during the great war.

"Also, one more thing, Riser Phenex is likely to come to see Rias in the near future."

"Very well. It seems that we've had too many peaceful days, making us forget what fear is."

Sirzechs showed a hint of coldness in his eyes. He had already developed a murderous intent. If possible, he really wanted to destroy the Phenex family.
