160 Azazel is always a liar

"So you are going to use this danger to make three factions become an ally to each other? As expected of the governor of Grigori, his means are devious." 

Riser felt this method was so cliche. 

With the external danger that loomed around them, all the factions in the argument would be in a truce to face this danger.

It was like a certain story or a war history in the textbook. 

However, Azazel felt so awkward at that moment. That was his plan, but shouldn't Riser be focused on the danger that was aimed at them instead of making him appear like a liar and a conspirator?

Those who heard Riser's words stared at Azazel with a sigh since this guy had never changed. 

Azazel's power might be so-so, but there was no doubt he had the brightest mind and boldness in each of his movements. 

"Still, is this enemy powerful enough to make the three factions become an ally to each other?" 

There weren't many people in this room except those who were trusted by Azazel. 

As for the rest, those goons and others waited anxiously outside as they didn't wish for Riser to be on the rampage once again. 

Nevertheless, Azazel knew that it was time for his showdown. 

"Khaos Brigade. Have you heard of it?" 

"No." 

Azazel didn't feel surprised by Riser's lack of understanding of this organization, so he knew he needed to make Riser understand how dangerous this organization was.

"You might not have heard it, but you should have heard the name of the leader." 

"Who?" 

"Ophis." Azazel appeared solemn. "The Infinity Dragon. That's the leader of this organization." 

"...." 

Being affected by Azazel's words, everyone also fell in silence and shocked due to this sudden news. Frankly, there weren't many who knew about the Khaos Brigade as they were quite low-key. Moreover, this organization was originally born from one of the fallen angels who betrayed the Grigori, so they tried to hide it as they didn't want the others to see their weakness. 

However, Azazel knew this organization was about to move, especially when they wouldn't allow the three factions to achieve peace. 

Still, if he had to be honest, compared to the Khaos Brigade, Azazel felt the most dangerous one would be Riser, as he needed to know what Riser thought about the peace of the three factions. 

Fortunately, Riser seemed okay with it and didn't seem to be detested by such an idea. 

If there was a problem before, it was all due to the fact that he had provoked Riser. 

If such a thing didn't happen, then they might be able to sit opposite each other while drinking warm tea, talking, and playing with women. 

Unfortunately, everything was too late. 

Riser came and conquered the entire Grigori by himself.

The only fortunate thing was the fact that Riser wasn't bloodthirsty, and no one was killed during his attack. Moreover, he also had healed everyone, giving them a good opinion about him. 

Frankly, Azazel wondered whether this was deliberately done or whether Riser was such a gentle individual.

If it was the latter, he would be happy, but if it was the latter?

However, Azazel knew that there was nothing he could do currently. 

Still, whether it was done deliberately or not, Azazel knew that all the blame for this incident was pushed into Vali, a Riser already dominating the Grigori. 

Yet, this was normal.

Living was hard, and everyone needed a place to blame something, so Vali was chosen, but a place for blame wasn't enough, and everyone needed spiritual support. 

All of them gave Riser their spiritual support, and it was the reason why he was accepted by everyone so easily. 

Yet, what could he do?

In front of the combination of overwhelming power and the sharpest mind, everything was meaningless. 

Azazel could only be glad that no lives were taken. 

Yet—

"You were lying." 

"Eh?" Azazel was dumbfounded. 

"There is no way for such a being to become the leader of a terrorist organization."

Riser shook his head and acted as if he showed his doubt.

"It's true! I am not lying!" 

"Azazel, you might have lived longer than me, but I have faced many dragons. Do you know what their most common trait is?" 

"What?" 

"Simple." 

"..." Azazel. 

"Azazel, do you think Ophis, the dragon god, the infinity dragon that you have talked about before, will do something so troublesome, such as making a terrorist organization? Instead, if you say that Ophis has attacked the world and destroyed it, it is more believable than making the terrorist organization." 

While it might be strange, every dragon was simple. 

Yet, this was normal. 

Due to their overwhelming power, instead of using their minds, they would use their power more, as most problems could be solved with their strength. 

Riser didn't believe that Ophis, the Dragon God, would do something so troublesome as to create a terrorist organization. 

"But it's the truth! Ophis is something, and to achieve that goal, she creates this organization." 

"Oh? What is the purpose of Ophis?" 

"To defeat the Great Red!" 

"Great Red?" 

"It's also the one of the Dragon Gods, the True Dragon, the Dragon of Dream, the Great Red." 

"So, Ophis has made the terrorist organization to defeat this Great Red?" 

"That's right." Azazel nodded. "Frankly, Ophis herself isn't the problem as her goal isn't related to us, and what she only wishes is to win against the Great Red, but her subordinates, or those who use her, are troublesome." 

"Hmm..." 

"Wh-What is it?" 

"You are strangely familiar with this terrorist organization." Riser looked at Azazel in doubt and asked, "Are you a member, too?" 

"...." 

At this moment, everyone fell into silence as they stared at Azazel in surprise. 

Huh?

Did their ex-boss join the terrorist organization?

Were they going to be involved in more troublesome things?

Suddenly, they sighed in relief as their boss had changed since Riser didn't seem like someone who would cause them trouble. 

"Of-Of course not! There is no way that I am joining such an organization!" 

"Why did you get flustered?" 

"I am not! Anyway, I have received this information from a trusted informant! Please believe in me! You should know that I don't dare to lie to you, right? You can kill me anytime, after all." 

Azazel said those words in one go, trying to clear up Riser's doubt, but Riser only stayed in silence. 

By this point, no one said anything, and once again, the tense atmosphere returned. 

"Well, I will believe you for now." 

Hearing those words, everyone sighed in relief. 

"...it feels strange when you can believe in me so easily." Azazel felt strange. 

"It's okay. I can't die anyway, so I don't fear anything." 

The more trouble Riser received, the more powerful he would become. 

While he hated trouble, if he could become stronger, then he didn't mind charging forward. After all, the only way for him to achieve peace of mind was by becoming stronger, and no one was allowed to be stronger than him. 

Everyone had to be weaker than him so that he would be able to live peacefully. 

So, hearing about this terrorist organization, Riser couldn't help but think of a certain possibility, thinking that everything would be interesting. 

Nevertheless, Riser's words were like a nightmare for them since they knew no matter how they fought, it was impossible for him to be defeated, so they might as well just accept their fate. 

Azazel also felt conflicted, but then he knew, like others, he could only accept everything, especially when Riser could erase their lives anytime. 

"So, what makes this organization dangerous?" 

Hearing those words, Azazel's eyes lit up before becoming solemn once again as he told Riser about how dangerous this organization was. 

Still, as he listened to Azazel's explanation about the members of the Khaos Brigade, Riser just fell into silence as he wondered when he should kill this liar.
