Chapter 1

"Tea, coffee, or cola?"

Sona and Rias looked silently at the cola placed before them.

Isn't this basically having no choice at all?

"Sorry, it seems I only have cola as a drink here."

Sona: "..."

Rias: "..."

Lin En sat on the sofa, leaning back slightly, ignoring their speechless expressions.

Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory.

Having watched two seasons of High School DxD in his previous life, Lin En was fairly familiar with these two.

But that was all.

Since he transmigrated into this world, he had never had any interaction with these two.

Their sudden visit today left him completely bewildered even now.

Lin En spoke up: "So, what brings the two of you here?"

"Rias Gremory. Just call me Rias."

After a brief self-introduction, Rias gave Sona a look, signaling for her to go first, while she herself stared at the can of cola in front of her, seemingly hesitating whether to open it.

"Sona Sitri."

After stating her name, Sona took out a piece of parchment and placed it on the table.

Lin En's gaze dropped, narrowing slightly.

The parchment was densely packed with writing, but it was not any kind of human script.

Demonic script...

Seeing this typeface, Lin En felt a bit dazed.

Ever since he came to live in the human world, he hadn't seen demonic script for a long time.

And...

Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze shifted to the very bottom.

"The family crest of Valper..."

Valper, a former noble demon family of the Netherworld.

And his full name was Lin En Valper.

He was a transmigrator; this was already his second life.

He had only broken through the "mystery of the womb" a few days ago.

The Lin En of this life was not a pure human, but a half-human, half-demon hybrid; however, when he was seven, he was exiled by the Valper family due to his mixed-blood status and came to live in the human world.

Now, it seems that because of the surname Valper, trouble has come knocking at the door...

This parchment was actually a marriage contract.

The two parties to the contract were the Valper family and... the Sitri family.

Lin En's expression was strange; now he knew the reason for them coming to his door.

Under normal circumstances, as a half-demon, this marriage contract with the Sitri clan clearly wouldn't fall to him.

But the Valper family was wiped out overnight a few years ago.

Having been exiled, he became the only remaining bloodline of the Valper clan, and this marriage contract was naturally inherited by him.

However...

Lin En glanced at the expressionless Sona Sitri, roughly understanding that she probably wasn't here to fulfill the marriage contract.

So, is she here to call off the engagement?

Transmigrated, and then someone comes to the door to break off an engagement.

It's the Xiao Yan script!

Lin En simply said: "You want to dissolve the marriage contract?"

Sona and Rias were both stunned for a moment. After exchanging a look, Sona said: "Sorry, I will compensate you."

An apologetic look flashed in her eyes.

With Lin En being the only remaining bloodline of the Valper family, her coming specifically to dissolve the engagement was somewhat like kicking someone when they were down.

But she really didn't want to spend the rest of her life with someone she had never met and had no emotional foundation with.

"Fine, I agree."

Lin En agreed very readily.

It wasn't for any so-called compensation; he simply didn't want to bring trouble upon himself.

If he remembered correctly, behind Sona Sitri stood a sister-complex Maou?

He didn't want to end up like Xiao Yan, having a "three-year agreement" and then having the sister come after the brother was defeated.

Sona opened her mouth, a flash of astonishment in her eyes; clearly, she hadn't expected Lin En to agree so readily, nor had she expected this act of dissolving the engagement to go so smoothly.

One had to know, that was a marriage contract with their Sitri clan!

Anyone in the Netherworld who could form a marriage contract with the Sitri clan would never let it go easily, let alone a family like the Valper clan that only had one heir left.

If one could successfully marry into the Sitri clan, with their help, one might even be able to rebuild the family.

And yet, this Lin En before her just agreed to dissolve the engagement so simply?

This wasn't quite the process she had envisioned before coming here.

She didn't know that as a half-demon, Lin En was like a transparent person when he was at the Valper house.

Furthermore, he had been exiled to the human world at the age of seven, so naturally, he had no feelings for the Valper family.

Seeing this marriage contract, he had absolutely no intention of using the Sitri family's influence to restore the glory of the Valper family.

Rias stared at Lin En, also very surprised in her heart, never expecting Lin En to be so easy to talk to.

"So, what is the next procedure?"

Lin En didn't care about their thoughts and said: "Do we need to sign an agreement contract to dissolve the engagement? Or..."

He picked up the contract document on the table, "tear this thing up?"

Rias said in a low voice: "That contract is recognized by the four current Maous; unless you possess power exceeding that of the four Maous, it simply cannot be torn."

"..."

Lin En silently put the contract back down and said, without changing his expression: "Let's talk about the agreement contract issue instead."

Rias pursed her lips, trying her best not to laugh out loud.

This Lin En is actually quite interesting.

And he's also very handsome.

Black hair, red eyes, and an indescribable noble air about him.

Sona's unexpected fiancé, aside from potentially being a bit weak in strength, is much better than that firebird.

Thinking of her own marriage contract, she couldn't help but lose her smile.

Sona was a bit dazed now.

Lin En's refusal to play by the rules made her brain lag a little.

She hadn't expected Lin En to agree to dissolve the engagement today; she had intended to resolve her own marriage contract issue through a Rating Game.
