Chapter 118 - Gremory Household. (2/2)

”Em., Wang Lei-san…are you really alright with not leaving this place? No matter how I think about it, a single man cannot fight against the whole clan.”

Wang Lei, who was massaging little Akeno's shoulders – who had a blissful expression – looked towards Shuri before saying, ”You are really making me shy little Shuri. To be worried about me that much…don't tell me, you have fallen for me?”

Shuri frowned, ”What nonsense are you talking about Wang Lei-san? I have a husband!”

”Yeah…a husband that left his wife and daughter to die.”

”That!”

”Leave it. I am not in the mood of fighting over a pointless topic.” Before she could finish, Wang Lei waved his hand and said.

Shuri had an angry expression, but she becomes silent and looked away. Even if he was their benefactor, she did not like if someone blistered her husband.

SLIDE

With the door sliding open, Suzaku returned. She looked at her aunt and gently said, ”I have sent my message to them, aunt. They will be here soon to take you with them.”

Shuri formed a smile on her face, ”Thank you, Suzaku.”

Suzaku shakes her head, ”Please. I must help my family. Don't worry. I will definitely let nothing happen to you Aunt!” She said with conviction and determined eyes.

She was still scared thinking if Wang Lei was not present, then she might not even able to meet her Aunt and cousin.

She looked towards him with gentle eyes, but she still could not take his arrogance. It really ticked her off.

”Oh! Are they coming? Did you call Sirzech's little sister, Rias?... if I remember correctly, then at this time, she should be a loli…” Wang Lei made a thinking face while saying to Suzaku.

Suzaku had her brow twitched hearing him, ”Do you know them? Gremory household.”

Wang Lei, who was in deep thought came out of it, ”Huh? You mean Gremory Family? No, I do not know anything about them.”

Raising her delicate brow, Suzaku asked, ”Then how do you know them?”

'If he did not know them, then how he was talking as if he personally met them.'

”Well, it is the family of Demon Lord in the underworld. It is not a secret or anything.” Wang Lei looked at her as if an idol as she was stating obvious. Everyone knew about the Gremory family in the underworld. Their son was Demon Lord after all.

Suzaku's temple twitched. She could only nod as what Wang Lei said made sense.

”Now we have to wait for them to come and take Aunt and Akeno.”

A glint passes in Wang Lei's eyes as he smirked, ”Yeah…we have to wait for them to take them.”

No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

In the underworld, Gremory Household.

”Brother, I am going to pick a member for my peerage from Himejima Clan.” A little redhead said to her brother – having red hair, reaching up to his hɨps.

Her brother nodded, ”You can. But I have heard that the member you are going to pick is an outcast? For having the bloodline of a fallen angel.”

Redhead nodded. It was no surprise that her brother knew about it. He was demon lord after all. It would be strange if he did not know about it; it was concerning his family.

”If that's the case, you should take Heinrich with you. He will protect you from any unseen danger.” The demon lord said to her sister with worried filled eyes.

He knew that the Himejima clan resented devils or anything related to evil. He did not want to let his sister go to such a dangerous place. So he thought of sending his Bishop to protect her. He could be reassured if he was with her.

The little redhead nodded at her brother.

After waiting for some time, a magic circle forms in the room, teleporting out a gentle-looking old man with a dandy white beard and hat.

He bowed towards the demon lord before looking towards the redhead.

”Shall we go, Miss Rias?” his gentle voice resounds in the room, making one unconsciously letting their guard down in front of him.

Rias nodded before standing with Heinrich. A teleportation circle blooms below them, teleporting them away from the underworld.

The demon lord silently stares at the place where his sister and Bishop once stood.

CLICK

The door of the hall opened, and a silver-haired woman entered the hall.

She was a beautiful young woman appearing to be in her early twenties with back-length silver hair that features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down which ends in twin braids and red eyes; a beauty indeed.

Pulling a trolley of snakes and tea, she reached close to the demon lord table and bowed, ”Sirzech-sama, it is time for your afternoon tea.” Her soft voice resounds in the silent hall, prompting the demon lord to take a gander towards her.

Sirzech looked towards her though it was hidden well, the silver maid could see the longing in his eyes. But she ignored it. She has already promised someone else to be her partner. She cannot go back on her promise as she also loved that person.

Seeing her not looking at him, Sirzech sighed, ”Are you still thinking that HE is alive? Even if he was, he would have long forgotten about you as he never came to take you.” he said in a low tone, enough for the maid to hear.

There was no change in her expression as she replied, ”He has promised me. And as you are aware, what that person's promise entails. And even if he did, I have already given my heart to that person. It is meaningless to persuade me, Sirzech-sama. You should give more attention to your wife.”

After completing her part, she bowed before leaving the silent demon lord, who could only look at her left-back. That seemed too far from his reach.
