DN : [235] Subsequent Impact!
🕑 Added 2024-07-05 16:00:03 +0000 UTCThe next day, August and Sona went to the Kuoh Academy together.
Upon arriving at the Student Council, August and Sona instantly became the center of attention.
Especially the gazes directed at Sona were full of mockery and teasing. The supposed master Sona had lost all the dignity a master should have.
"President, how did it feel last night?"
"Did you ascend to the heavens?"
"President had her first time last night, it must have been a bit lacking."
"That's true."
"You'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
These five girls were talking where no one else was present, and they noticed Sona's expression becoming increasingly unpleasant.
August sensed trouble and quickly pulled Tsubaki away, avoiding any accidental harm.
"You guys, get to work right away. If the tasks aren't completed today, no one is allowed to eat!!!"
Seeing Sona angry, the five gilrs quickly left. It would be troublesome to provoke her at this moment.
As the Student Council President and the King, Sona's authority was quite substantial. Especially when she was angry, no one dared to offend her.
"Truly worthy of being the Student Council President, very impressive."
August clapped and praised Sona's imposing demeanor.
Sona rolled her eyes at this. Last night, if it weren't for the lack of suitable-sized cosplay outfits at home, she might have been persuaded to wear those clothes.
Now she understood, August had a special preference for various special gilrs. For example, last night when they were together, August had her change into the Kuoh Academy uniform. After she actually changed, it was evident that August was even more excited.
"August, what are you planning to do about our situation?"
"What do you mean?"
"Now you are Rias's fiancé. What do you plan to do about us?"
When she said this, Sona's body trembled slightly. Clearly, she cared about this.
"It's simple. Just leave everything to me."
"Why are you so confident? Both Rias and I are the future lords of our respective families. If we all marry you, the higher-ups won't agree."
August, now the lord of the Demon clan, Sona as the future lord of the Sitri family, and Rias as the future lord of the Gremory family.
Not to mention August, even the high-level pure-blood families jointly marrying him would be equivalent to a formidable alliance. Add to that, the Gremory family had Satan Lucifer, and the Sitri family had Satan Leviathan.
If they truly became one family, the entire underworld would become a monolithic force.
This kind of alliance was too terrifying. Those in the upper echelons would definitely not agree because it would cause significant damage to their power and interests.
"Don't worry about such matters. Just marry me with peace of mind. If anyone dares to object, I'll crush them directly."
August spoke these ruthless words without any pressure. He didn't have much fondness for devils. After all, he wasn't a devil and wasn't a part of devils. His interest in devils was limited to them here and his arranged friend, Sirzechs.
Not to exaggerate, even if it were Sirzechs, if he posed a threat to August's interests, he would not hesitate to give him a lesson.
"Whatever you say. But don't tell my sister about our affairs."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because my sister will turn you into an ice cube."
When she said this, Sona smiled slightly. Regarding pampering her sister, in the Underworld, Serafall was considered the best. She dared to explode directly at the noses of devil high-ups. If it weren't for Serafall's full support in the matter of Sona's engagement, it would have been almost impossible to annul the engagement.
Just like Rias, if it weren't for August, even though her brother was Satan Lucifer, in the face of the family's interests, she would still have to compromise.
The Satan was indeed power and status, but it was also a shackle.
...
At the same time, in the territory of the Phenex family in the Underworld.
The current Lord of the Phenex family, Riser's father, had an extremely solemn expression.
He had already learned about Riser's situation, especially the words brought back by Grayfia, making him furious. The daughter-in-law that the family had supported Sirzechs to elevate to power was unexpectedly lost.
However, he felt powerless about this. The Demon Clan, a powerhouse family from great war times to the present, and if the rumors were true, then the lord of this clan was the current generation Red Dragon Emperor and possessed the power of a Satan-class, none of this was something they could fight without dire consequences.
Yes, in today's world, Satan-class figures were the most powerful on the surface, and for Super-class like Sirzechs and Ajuka or Primordial, they were the anchors that kept the cheap peace that currently prevailed around the world.
Especially in the entire Phenex family, the most powerful was their eldest son, Ruval Phenex.
But he was just the ultimate-class devil. As for himself, he was also only the ultimate-class devil.
In front of Satan-class beings, they couldn't even step up to the stage. As someone who had experienced the great war, he knew very well what Satan-class beings represented.
It was unparalleled strength, so powerful that it was insurmountable.
The gap between Satan-class and Ultimate-class was like a chasm, the gap could not be bridged.
This was also the reason why sacred gears were highly sought after by everyone.
Sacred gear fed on the host's thoughts and, at critical moments, had the potential to turn the tide.
Especially Longinus-type sacred gears had the potential to challenge ultimate-class opponents, even Satans and Gods might be killed.
Race! Power! Talent! Longinus!
August possessed all of these. Therefore, Lord Phenex had no doubt that the other party had the ability to overturn the Phenex family.
As for the contacts expanded by the family in recent years using the 'Phoenix Tears,' for him, it was currently useless. No one would offend a Satan-class being for the sake of a few bottles of 'Phoenix Tears.'
This world was so realistic, in front of absolute strength, all connections and favors were nothing.
The Lord Phenex felt extremely helpless about this. Since his eldest son Ruval Phenex had shone brightly in the rating game, and the family had developed gradually, it was the first time he felt so powerless.
