Chapter 345: There Is No Going Back

Sensing the change in Sirzechs's attitude, Su Nian felt a bit strange, but he did not pay too much attention to it.

After all, as long as the other party is willing to cooperate and willing to be decent, that is fine.

If they are unwilling to cooperate decently, Su Nian will naturally help them cooperate decently.

"The matter is arranged like this, you all handle it as soon as possible."

Su Nian said this, paused, and looked at Azazel.

"As for the Angel side, I will leave it to you to handle."

Azazel's face turned bitter, but because this was an order given by Su Nian, he could not easily decline.

"Fine, I'll make a trip, I hope those old fellows won't kill me."

Su Nian could not help but roll his eyes.

If you want a treasure chest to save your life, just say so; the way you put it, it sounds like I'm sending you to your death.

"Jiazi can be lent to you to study for a period of time, I hope you can produce results for me as soon as possible."

Azazel was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had been hit on the head by a surprise.

"Boss, is that for real?"

A Transcendent-level Mechanical Dragon? This thing is cool just to look at.

Not to mention its combat power.

If he had known, he would have played the pity card sooner.

Looking at Azazel's little face, Su Nian waved his hand casually and laughed a few times.

He turned his head to look at Ajuka and said.

"By the way, I heard you are a genius with formations? You and Azazel should study the Mechanical Evil God together, I hope you can produce results soon."

Upon hearing this, Ajuka was stunned for a moment, but because it was Su Nian's order, he still nodded in a daze and accepted it.

Afterwards, Azazel and Ajuka left.

Su Nian turned his head to look at Rias, who was watching him and Sirzechs cautiously from behind, and said with a trace of disgust.

"Alright, your brother is here to pick you up; you continuing to stay here is not a good thing."

"I don't want to go back."

As soon as Rias heard that Su Nian wanted to drive her away, she refused without a second thought.

And Sirzechs, who had been smiling on the side, preparing to take Rias back, saw his smile freeze upon hearing Rias's words.

"Rias, don't be unreasonable!!"

Sirzechs said sternly; he had come here specifically to take Rias back.

"Brother!!"

Rias was like a cat with its fur standing on end, feeling as if she were about to pounce and scratch someone at any moment.

"How am I being unreasonable!!"

"Can I even go back now?"

"Hmm?? What do you mean you can't go back now?"

Sirzechs looked at Rias, completely confused.

Rias had only been captured for half a day, nothing should have happened, right? The Holy Son wouldn't have done anything to Rias, would he?

How could she not be able to go back? Could she have really been corrupted?

Sirzechs looked at Su Nian with suspicion.

Su Nian shrugged helplessly; this had absolutely nothing to do with him.

He had only teased her a few times when he captured her; other than that, he had done nothing.

How would he know what Rias was thinking?

Was he so bored that he would hypnotize Rias?

Rias also looked at her brother with a confused expression.

"Has the news of me being captured not leaked out yet?"

Generally speaking, the fate of a captured Devil is rarely good, after all, female Devils are symbols of seduction.

And the strength of a Mixed Blood Devil is not exactly weak either.

Plus, Rias was clear about her family's situation; her brother, as the Lucifer Demon King, was at odds with the Devil Council.

Once the news of her capture spread, those old immortals would not let this opportunity pass to attack and target the Gremory Clan.

She had just been looking at the Underworld news to see if there were any reports about her.

There were none now, but in her view, they were already being written.

Something like "Lucifer's sister captured, gave birth to hundreds of Mixed Blood Devils..."

She did not doubt this at all; even humans had entered an era of "amusing ourselves to death," and the Underworld, with its more advanced technology, was naturally even more terrifying.

From here on, with just one signal, it was possible for her news to explode across the Underworld.

It would likely cause unimaginable influence and losses to the Gremory Clan and her brother.

So she could only think of ways to compensate, and the method of compensation was very simple.

Find professional internet trolls to steer the narrative, changing "captured by the enemy" to "voluntary," "mutual affection," and so on, to recoup the losses.

Hearing this, Sirzechs was silent for a long time, then sighed.

"So, Rias, you spent half the day looking at Underworld news and half the day thinking of a solution, but you forgot to notify your brother me in advance so I could prepare?"

Any damage to reputation was a small matter; at worst, he would just go door-to-door to visit the homes of the Devil Council members for a while.

They would naturally know what to do.

It was the information Rias failed to report that almost got him and Ajuka killed.

Thinking of this, Sirzechs was completely speechless.

Rias smiled with an awkward expression.

It was mainly because the news was too shocking, to the point that she subconsciously overlooked these matters.

She subconsciously felt that for such a big matter, her brother couldn't possibly not know, and it wouldn't reach the point where she needed to deliver the news.

She hadn't realized at all that Su Nian and the others letting her follow along was, in a sense, because they wanted her to be the factor that brought the news to her brother.

Thinking this, she gave Su Nian a rather resentful look; why didn't you remind me?

"Why are you looking at me?"

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders; he had no obligation to specifically remind Rias.

Rias looked at Su Nian and gritted her teeth fiercely.

She was a beautiful girl, after all; was it necessary to treat her like this?

Was she just captured and brought back to be left on the sidelines?

"Rias, come home with me."

Sirzechs looked at Rias seriously; no matter how much he doted on his sister, he could not continue to let her stay by Su Nian's side.

This was simply too dangerous.

"No, I still want to stay."

Rias looked over, her eyes carrying a look of defiance.

"At least until I learn how to use Destruction Magic Power to destroy a Concept, I will not go back."

Operating on the logic that if you are herding one sheep, you might as well herd a flock.

When Su Nian was teaching Ophis how to condense Authority, he took the opportunity to give a few pointers to Rias and Himejima Akeno.

Being able to become heroines, their aptitude was naturally not bad.

Under Su Nian's guidance, although it had only been half a day, the progress was still very obvious; at least they had seen the direction.

What Su Nian taught them was orthodox knowledge, from magic power to Concept abilities.

Generally speaking, this was knowledge that only Five-digit beings could come into contact with.

However, to Su Nian, it wasn't worth much; in Little Garden, this was even common textbook material.

It was just that when Rias spoke of wanting to stay, and while looking at Su Nian's face, a blush couldn't help but appear on her cheeks.

Perhaps Rias herself did not realize it.

But to Sirzechs, who was familiar with his sister, it was exceptionally conspicuous.

He helplessly held his forehead.

His own sister had actually learned to take the initiative to offer herself to the pig, but... I beg you, choose the right target!

Is the Heavenly Lord Holy Son someone you can have ideas about?

However, looking at Rias's firm expression, Sirzechs finally patted Rias's shoulder helplessly and said.

"Whatever, but next time you have any news, remember to pass it to me."

I'm tired, let it be destroyed; whoever wants this troublesome sister can have her.

Not only was she captured, but she actually took a fancy to the person who captured her in just half a day.

Su Nian, who was being stared at by Rias, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

He sensed Rias's change, but couldn't clearly state the reason for it.

He wondered if his charm was really that great? Could it be?

He just felt that Rias seemed to have ill intentions.

However, what Su Nian didn't know was that Rias was just purely a fan of good looks; in plain language, she was craving him, although she herself didn't even realize it.

To be precise, it was because Su Nian had conquered and successfully taken down Algol, and Algol's aesthetic sense was naturally indisputable.

At the same time, as the Demon Ancestor, Algol's aesthetic sense deeply influenced all Devils, whether they were from Little Garden or here.

Having taken down Algol and sharing a Spirit Status with Algol, Su Nian was, in the eyes of Devils, the embodiment of beauty.

Even if Su Nian wanted to, he could even charm a few Three-digit Great Demons of Little Garden.

It was just that unlike Algol, Su Nian's charm was latent; it just made it easier for Devils to be moved and to offer their loyalty.

However, even if Su Nian knew, he wouldn't say anything.

If it's delivered to my door, it would be a waste not to take it.

Saying this, Sirzechs turned around and said to Su Nian.

"Then, for these days, my sister will be entrusted to the Heavenly Lord Holy Son."

"No problem."

Su Nian stood up and reached out his hand toward Sirzechs.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation."

The two hands shook across the desk under Rias's witness.

Afterward, Sirzechs did not hesitate and left.

He even left in a bit of a hurry.

After all, he had to notify the Devil Council of the agenda for the tripartite talks within a short time and do his best to compress the schedule.

And in the midst of this, there was no assistance from Ajuka; he could only rely on himself, as Ajuka had to study the mechanical Evil God together with Azazel.

And when Sirzechs left, Rias finally realized what a stupid thing she had done.

She looked at her good friend Himejima Akeno with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Akeno, is it still in time for me to go back now?"

"Rias, what kind of silly talk is this? You laid down harsh words about staying, and now you want to go back?"

Himejima Akeno looked at Rias with a strange expression, even reaching out to touch Rias's head.

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

"The constitution of a Devil is not as fragile as a human's."

Rias looked at her good friend speechlessly, feeling quite a headache at the same time.

What should she do now that she had acted on impulse and wanted to stay?

Thinking this, Rias looked at Su Nian with puffed-up cheeks, but upon looking, she involuntarily became immersed in Su Nian's magnificent beauty, and an unnatural flush appeared on her face.

"Hmm, assessment complete. Rias doesn't have a fever; she's 'burning' up."

Himejima Akeno helplessly covered her forehead.
