I saw three people in front of Sirzechs, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, in the luxurious and vast living room.
Of these three people, two stood up when Leo and his group walked in, while the other continued to sit there without making any reaction.
The first thing to attract the attention of Leo and his group were the two people who stood up.
Because, these two people, one big and one small, not only look very similar, but it can be seen at a glance that they are related by blood, and they are also very beautiful.
The younger one has a more youthful appearance, is not too tall, but has a pretty figure. He is exactly the same as the Ravel Phenex·Phenex Leo saw on the family candidate list.
The older one is also a young woman. The temperament exuding from her body and the charm on her face have a sense of nobility. Her hair is also pulled up and decorated with expensive jewelry. Her appearance and height are much more mature and plump than the former.
"Lord Sirzechs."
Leo looked at the two people without any trace, then nodded to Sirzechs, the host, and said hello.
Yukino Yukinoshita and others bowed respectfully to Sirzechs, and then just followed Leo closely without saying a word.
"Let me introduce it to you."
Sirzechs smiled back at Leo and the others, and then pointed at the young woman.
"This is Phenex Clan's current wife Clan Head, who is also the mother of Ravel Phenex."
As soon as these words came out, Leo aside, Yukino Yukinoshita and others were shocked.
Mother?
Ravel Phenex·Phenex's mother is actually so young?
Didn't it mean that she already has three sons and one daughter?
This looks nothing like it!
But when they thought that the other party was Devil, all the girls understood.
Devil is a very long-lived race. After reaching a certain age, you can use Demonic Power to change your appearance at will, so it doesn't mean that the other person looks young. Maybe he is older than Miyamoto Musashi who is hundreds of years old.
"Hello, ma'am."
Leo naturally knew the identity of the other party and saluted him without any surprise.
"Gui'an, Mr. Eligos."
Lady Phenex also smiled without being rude, but his eyes had been looking at Leo since he came in, and he became more and more satisfied with it.
Although I have seen photos of Leo and know what he looks like in person, I still have a different feeling when I see him in person.
Originally Lady Phenex thought that Leo would be just like his appearance, a sunny and cheerful boy, but when she saw him like this with her own eyes, she knew that he might have a cheerful personality, but he was anything but sunny.
The sharp edge hidden under his smile, as well as the subtle Demonic Power that gave him a slight sense of oppression, let Lady Phenex know that he was not wrong about the person, that he was indeed an extraordinary young man.
Looking at the young and beautiful family members behind him, the smile on Lady Phenex's face became even brighter.
These are all good seedlings. Not only do they look in no way inferior to their own precious daughters, they also have extraordinary temperaments and unlimited potential. As long as they can grow up, they may not be able to become a powerful helper for the Phenex Clan in the future.
I really didn't choose the wrong person.
Yes, Ravel Phenex·Phenex became the dependent of Leo in order to win over the other party. This matter was facilitated by Lady Phenex.
The father of the Phenex Clan's current Clan Head, that is, Ravel Phenex·Phenex, was originally firmly opposed to this matter, and the reaction was very fierce, and he could not accept that he was the only one in the world. The little cotton-padded jacket wanted to work as a dependent servant for others, but Lady Phenex single-handedly suppressed her husband and implemented the matter unilaterally. Only then did Ravel Phenex appear on the list of candidates for Leo's dependents.
The person who appears here today is not the current Clan Head of the Phenex Clan, but this lady for the same reason. She is the one who is leading this matter.
Now that he sees that Leo's appearance, strength, potential and the excellence of his family are all above his expectations, Lady Phenex is naturally very satisfied and smiles more and more happily.
"I was supposed to invite you to my home, but Lord Sirzechs wanted to be a host, so I brought my daughter over here to meet you. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
Lady Phenex chatted with Leo in a kind manner, quite like a mother-in-law's enthusiasm for her son-in-law.
"No, if you want to be rude, it should be me." Leo stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Since the other person had a kind attitude and enthusiastic expression, he didn't mind continuing to show his sunny and cheerful boy side. He smiled and said, "Even if it is an invitation, it should be me who invites my wife to come to my place. Unfortunately, Eligos Territory has not revived yet. I can only wait for the opportunity to invite you again in the future."
"Then I will just wait for that day." Lady Phenex said with a happy smile, "I believe that day will not come too long, right?"
"Yes." Leo nodded and said bluntly, "At least, that's what I plan to do."
"If you need anything, please feel free to contact me at any time." Lady Phenex once again showed goodwill and said, "Phenex Clan doesn't have much else, but he still has some wealth. If you need any supplies in the future, you can tell me and I will try my best to help you arrange it."
These are not polite words.
As the only family among Underworld that can produce Tears of the Phoenix, Phenex Clan is absolutely extremely rich, even compared to the Gremory Clan who is good at discovering treasures, it is not inferior, or even worse.
The revival of a territory definitely requires a lot of materials, and the amount of money required is astronomical. But if Phenex Clan is willing to help, and is really capable of helping, it will definitely be no problem to at least help with funding.
"Then you're welcome, ma'am."
Leo knew that this was also one of the other party's methods to win over him, so he did not refuse and nodded readily.
If this trip accepts Ravel Phenex·Phenex as spring attributes, it is equivalent to being bound to the Phenex Clan. In this case, why reject this small favor?
Leo can also understand the other party's current mentality. He must be eager to give him more benefits and bring the relationship between the two parties as close as possible. If Sitri Clan had not been the supporter and funder behind Leo from the beginning, Leo felt that the other party would definitely snatch this qualification away.
This was still a good thing for him, so Leo accepted it calmly.
"Ravel Phenex."
Lady Phenex was extremely satisfied with Leo's calmness, and then called the girl next to him and gently pushed her out.
The girl had been observing Leo since he entered the scene, and her eyes were much more explicit than the way Lady Phenex looked at Leo, as if she was weighing whether the person in front of her was qualified to own her.
"I am the eldest daughter of Ravel Phenex·Phenex, Phenex Clan, and I will soon become your dependent. Please give me your guidance, Master Leo."
Ravel Phenex lifted both ends of the princess skirt and bowed dignifiedly to Leo. Judging from her expression, she did not seem to be repelled by the fact that she was about to become Leo's dependent, but the look in her eyes that measured Leo's details was still too explicit, so that her performance gave people a feeling of reluctance.
Leo then faced the other party's appraising gaze and looked over, with a slight sparkle in his eyes.
He could feel that there was a hot Demonic Power hidden in the body of the girl in front of him. That Demonic Power was not inferior to High-Class Devil in any way. In terms of quantity, it undoubtedly surpassed all his relatives, not even Yukino Yukinoshita who already had Demonic Power at the High-Class Devil level. In terms of quality, it was second only to Rias Gremory with the power of "Power of Destruction". Anyone could see that this was an extremely orthodox Pure-blood Devil.
If she is determined to debut as a "king", even if she is already qualified to receive Evil Piece, she will become the new generation Devil who is younger than Leo, but Phenex Clan already has three sons who have debuted one after another. One more Ravel Phenex is not much, and one less Ravel Phenex is not much. In the end, the other son came to him and was about to become his patron.
All in all, being able to have such a dependent is undoubtedly a piece of cake in the sky.
A Pure-blood Devil who has the ability to make her own debut and become a "king", her potential level is conservatively estimated to be among the best among the average. Taking her in is definitely worth the money.
"Can I call you Ravel Phenex?"
The thoughts only lasted for a moment, Leo quickly sorted them out and spoke to Ravel Phenex.
"Of course, you are my master, just call me by my first name."
Ravel Phenex said this, but he held his head high and his chest high. He didn't look like he wanted to be Leo's servant at all, but more like he wanted to be Leo's master.
Leo didn't feel anything about that slightly arrogant look, only Yukino Yukinoshita and the others frowned without a trace.
"Then, Ravel Phenex, let me confirm it one last time." Leo said as if it was a routine matter, "Are you sure you want to become my dependent and take me as your master?"
Hearing this, Ravel Phenex glanced at Lady Phenex. After Lady Phenex nodded, he sighed and looked at Leo again.
"I'm sure, please don't refuse Mr. Leo."
Ravel Phenex also adopted a businesslike attitude and stopped looking at Leo.
"In that case----"
Leo could see something, but he didn't say it out loud. He just expressed that he understood and was ready to settle the matter.
However, at this moment, the man who had been sitting on the sofa without getting up spoke.
"Wait."
One sentence made everyone present look at him.
Leo had seen this person a long time ago, and his eyes looked a little subtle.
Yukino Yukinoshita and others did the same, but they showed some displeasure with this person's image.
It was a man wearing a red suit with regular features, but he did not look dignified at all, but looked very carefree.
He is about in his early twenties, about two or three years older than Leo. Before Leo came in, he had been leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed and his hands spread wide on the back of the sofa, like a gangster.
Although he was wearing a suit, he did not wear a tie, and his shirt was open to his chest. His bad temperament was fully displayed, and the first impression he gave was very bad.
And the way he looked at Leo was completely different from that of Lady Phenex and Ravel Phenex. It had a condescending look, and a kind of contempt and contempt, which made Yukino Yukinoshita and others feel angry when they saw it.
"Riser Phenex."
Lady Phenex called the other party, his tone full of warning.
"Brother."
Ravel Phenex also called the other party this way and told others who he was.
Riser Phenex·Phenex, Third Son of the Phenex Clan, the third brother of Ravel Phenex, is also the person who accepted Ravel Phenex as the "bishop" in the original work.
In addition, the other party also has another identity, that is, Rias Gremory's fiancé, who plans to marry Rias Gremory when he comes of age.
In other words, he is Gremory Clan's son-in-law, who will soon become Sirzechs's brother-in-law.
If it hadn't been like this, on this occasion where the Demon King was present, if the other party dared to sit on the sofa so carelessly without getting up, and still sit in such a virtuous manner, he would have been thrown out by Grayfia Lucifuge long ago.
"I haven't agreed yet."
Riser Phenex stood up slowly and walked in front of Leo, like a second-generation ancestor, with his face in front of Leo, looking scornful.
"This is the Leo·Eligos that has been rumored in the Devil community recently? It's not that good at all!"
This attitude, this tone, and this speech made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly drop to freezing point.
Yukino Yukinoshita and others are getting angry.
Leo, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and looked at Riser Phenex who was approaching him, without saying anything.
Sirzechs and Grayfia Lucifuge stood aside quietly, as if they did not intend to get involved in this dispute.
"Riser Phenex!" Lady Phenex's face sank visibly, and he shouted, "What's your attitude? If you want to be embarrassed, just go home!"
"Brother." Ravel Phenex also frowned and said, "You can't be so rude."
It's a pity that Riser Phenex didn't listen to what they said.
"What I said is the truth." Riser Phenex sneered, "What kind of poor family is Eligos Clan? They have been cut off for so long, and now a guy with half human blood suddenly comes out, and you guys are rushing to join in. It's really hard to watch."
"Isn't it the host of Longinus? It is said that it can destroy gods and demon kings, but it depends on the user. If you give this kind of power to a mediocre person, it will just make the orb dusty."
"Let my sister become a dependent for such a poor and impure guy? I will never agree!"
These merciless remarks, which were almost like words of contempt and disdain written on their faces, made the faces of everyone present sink.
On the other hand, Leo smiled.
The smile is intriguing.
"Are you Riser Phenex·Phenex?"
Leo spit out these words.
"It's better to be famous than to meet him."
