Chapter 44 Issei Was Dumbfounded, So You Were The One All Along!
"You... Who are you really?"
Issei subconsciously asked about this, even though he already knew that Riser was the young master of the Phenex family.
But he felt there was more to it than that!
At least...
At least he felt like he had seen that cyan light before.
It was just that she forgot where he had seen it.
His memory was actually not very good when it came to remembering anything other than beautiful women.
"Issei... Did you finally realize something?"
Riser grinned wickedly as he walked step by step towards Issei who was sitting on the ground clutching his cheek which had a palm mark.
Issei had a bad feeling seeing Riser\'s smile, he wanted to attack again when Riser approached him, but he hesitated because the other party seemed to want to say something that made him curious.
Sure enough, Riser didn\'t attack him, but just stood right in front of him and said something in a low voice.
"It\'s actually not the first time we\'ve fought like this. Do you remember Deadpool?"
The moment Riser mentioned Deadpool\'s name, Issei\'s eyes widened and he knew why he felt familiar.
"That masked bastard is you?" Issei asked with a sharp gaze.
It was obvious he was getting angry now.
Since Riser and Deadpool were the same person, that meant the one who broke his nose and poisoned him a few days ago was Riser!
People didn\'t know how tortured he was feeling from the pain of the broken nose and the cold poison in his body.
And it was all the fault of the man standing in front of him!
Riser nodded at Issei\'s question, he could see Issei\'s mentality was getting unstable. So he added more fuel.
"It\'s not just that."
"What? What else?"
Issei was inexplicably chatting with Riser, his bad feeling was getting stronger, but he felt curious and wanted to hear what Riser had to say next.
The Dragon King\'s aura was also drawn back into his body, he sat stupidly on the floor while staring at Riser who stood looking down at him.
People watching were confused and a little disappointed at this sight.
What\'s going on?
Why did you two stop fighting and start chatting?
Latia who saw this scene from her dining table was also confused.
She was puzzled by this development.
Why were the villain and protagonist chatting?
Since the two men were quite far away from her, she could not hear what they were saying.
But looking at Issei\'s expression, which fluctuated from surprised, angry, and anxious. She knew Riser must have said something that would make Issei lose his cool.
Riser\'s grin lessened at the sight of Issei retracting his Dragon King aura, she looked at the protagonist in disappointment.
Where\'s your caution when you\'re dealing with villain?
This Dragon King protagonist doesn\'t seem to be as good as in the original work.
It\'s disappointing.
If it wasn\'t for his destiny protection, he would definitely seize this opportunity to kill the protagonist.
What a pity...
For now he could only be content to mess with the protagonist\'s mentality by revealing the truth of how many green hats the other party was wearing.
Staring at Issei with a smirk on his face, he told Issei exactly how many times he had screwed him up. From calling the police to arrest him in front of the company back then, dating Grayfia, saving Grayfia from kidnapping, making Sona thank him and etc.
Issei who heard all this was dumbfounded, his face red with anger and pointed at Riser with trembling hands.
[Damn! Damn! So all this time, the one who always messed up the Dragon King\'s plans behind the scenes was you Riser!]
[Ahh! Because of you, because of you I failed to get Grayfia, Sona, Rias, Roygun, Latia and the others! All my women, all that I should have had. Riser, you despicable villain took it all from me!]
The heroines took offense.
Who? And when did all those women you mentioned become your women?
This disgusting protagonist is really...
Do you think the world revolves around you?
Ravel who had just finished her afternoon class, frowned with a look of disgust on her face.
"This protagonist seems to be the kind of person who considers what he sees first as his own."
"Disgusting, fortunately I\'ve never met him."
"Better never to have met her at all in this life, hmph!"
"I hope Onii-sama screws that protagonist to death."
Hearing Onii-sama had similarly foiled every evil plan of the protagonist and even got the women the protagonist liked.
Ravel felt happy and proud of her Onii-sama, even though her Onii-sama was a bastard, but it was fine as long as it disgusted the protagonist.
And having many beautiful sisters in the future is also actually quite good.
I can see Onii-sama playing with they...cough.
If anyone saw Ravel\'s current expression, they would think this woman was in heat.
Fortunately Ravel had already gotten to her dorm room by this time. So no one else saw her.
Issei reactivated his Dragon King aura and lunged at Riser fiercely.
"Riser! You must die! Die so I can take back everything I have!"
Nonsensical logic, as expected from an urban protagonist.
Riser swatted away Issei\'s punches and kicks that were about to hit him, this time it really became a fast and furious martial arts battle where their movements were so fast like shadows that the people watching had a hard time seeing their movements.
Every punch that clashed created a muffled sound in the air, there were also wind discharges from fists and kicks that split tables and shattered the restaurant floor.
The people watching were now starting to get scared by the intensity of this fight, they were afraid of getting hit by a stray attack!
At this moment, there was the sound of police car sirens and police officers came to the scene.
Roygun and her team had just arrived in front of the BBQ Restaurant and they were shocked by the fight going on inside the restaurant.
"Captain, how are we going to stop this fight?" One of the policewomen whispered to Roygun while staring at Riser and Issei\'s fight in horror.
The two people\'s fight was like a movie scene where the people fighting were superhuman.
If any ordinary person tried to mediate or stop their fight, I\'m afraid that ordinary person would be blown up in one blow.
Besides, people who are fighting are usually less rational and impulsive, there is a tendency to attack others who try to stop the fight.
Roygun who heard her subordinate\'s question, shook her head and said: "all of you just wait here, let me tell those two people to stop fighting."
Captain!
The dozen policemen Roygun had brought along stared at her in amazement.
This courage...
As expected of their captain!
Only the captain can do this!
Ignoring the terrified stares of the people as she walked into the restaurant, Roygun raised her gun up and pulled the trigger.
*Bang!*
"You two, stop and don\'t move!"
Hearing this, Riser and Issei\'s punches stopped in midair. Issei\'s fist that was about to hit Riser\'s stomach froze in midair, but it was different with Issei who stopped his attack. Riser\'s fist still continued as if he was too late to stop it and it hit Issei hard in the face.
Issei was thrown against the wall and he fainted.
"...."
"...."
Roygun was dumbfounded, even though she knew this villain was cunning, but she did not complain as it would be easier for her team to bring Issei in an unconscious state.
Staring at Riser whose clothes were somewhat disheveled with blood at the corner of his mouth, Roygun walked up to him and asked.
"Mr. Riser, are you alright?"
"Riser, are you alright?!"
Not only Roygun asked, but Latia also came up to Riser and asked worriedly.
Riser pretended to be coughing and tired at the moment. He wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth and said, "Cough, it\'s okay. I\'m fine."
[Fortunately Roygun came in time to catch Issei off guard and I was able to knock him unconscious. If that fight had continued, I\'m afraid it would have been a battle of attrition that would have lasted a long time.]
Roygun patted his shoulder said with a smile, "That\'s good Mr. Riser. Go home and rest, let the police take care of the rest."
"Huh? Are you sure? You\'re not taking me to the police station for interrogation?" Riser asked in confusion.
What was with this special treatment?
Even Latia looked at Roygun strangely.
Roygun realized that her behavior seemed partial, even though she was a policeman fighting for justice. She immediately thought of a good excuse and said, "I... Well, I\'m afraid Mr. Riser is too tired to follow the interrogation process, I think you can do it tomorrow. And according to the recordings and witnesses at the restaurant, it was the man named Issei who started the trouble first."
"So it\'s actually clear who\'s at fault here, and that man named Issei has broken the law many times. This isn\'t the first time he\'s done it."
Riser and Latia nodded after hearing Roygun\'s explanation. They did not know if this was right or wrong, but neither of them objected to the special treatment.
They vaguely felt they shared the same hostility towards Issei. So they had a tacit understanding in this situation.
Seeing Roygun and her team carrying the unconscious Issei to the police car to be taken to the police station. Riser didn\'t forget to pay for all the property damage at the restaurant before going to the parking lot with Latia.
On the way Latia looked at Riser who was walking beside her and said, "Are you sure you don\'t need to go to the hospital, Riser? You might have some serious bruises on your body."
Recalling the previous fight, it must have been very painful to receive an attack in that fight.
She also felt guilty because of herself, Issei attacked Riser. You know, if Issei hadn\'t misunderstood that she was being threatened by Riser, Riser might not have had to get into trouble today.
Seeing the heroine\'s worried expression, Riser stopped walking and looked at the woman in front of him. "I\'m fine Latia. You must have known I\'m a cultivator from the fight earlier, right? So my endurance is also better than ordinary people."
"By the way, what was your purpose for making a meal appointment with me in the end? I\'m sure it\'s about your family and Diodora, right?"
Latia smiled wryly, she nodded and said: "Yes, actually I intended to make a deal with you not to involve my family in Diodora\'s act of revenge."
"I know it\'s presumptuous, but if you\'re willing, I can promise anything."
She looked at Riser who stood in front of her, heart beating faster than usual because she felt nervous.
Riser gave Latia a strange look when he heard the other party would promise anything.
[Why do I feel like this situation is like a villain who would blackmail a woman into promised use her body?]
[And why do I feel Latia is so sure I will and am able to destroy the Astaroth family? This is strange... I haven\'t even talked to anyone about the idea of destroying the Astaroth family if Diodora really does move to take revenge on me.]
The heroines were initially surprised by the first part, but they became nervous when they heard the last part.
It\'s over!
Will Riser find out the heroines can listen to his inner voice?
Latia\'s expression stiffened as she heard Riser begin to suspect her.
Damn, I was careless!
I didn\'t think of the reason why I knew Riser\'s plan!
If Riser knew that I could hear his inner voice, who knows what he\'d do to me!
"Um... Latia, I wanted to ask why you\'re so sure I\'m going to destroy the Astaroth family? Why do I feel like you\'re even so sure I\'m capable of it?" Riser asked with a smile, his eyes narrowing as he looked directly into Latia\'s eyes.
He also added. "You know, even though I\'m a cultivator, many people outside should only know that I\'m a useless second-generation rich who only knows how to spend money."
"So I wonder why you\'re so confident in my abilities, Latia? After all, today is the first time we\'ve met and gotten to know each other."
Latia opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She was really panicking now!
Please my brain, quickly think of something in this situation!
