"It's better to be famous than to meet."
What does this sentence mean? There is probably no one present who cannot recognize it.
"You still know me?"
Riser Phenex still maintained a sneer, as if he was dismissive of Leo's speech and was not provoked at all.
But, the next second, Riser Phenex's expression changed.
"Phenex Three Brothers, I've heard of it more or less." Leo said casually, "Eldest Son is the successor of the Phenex Clan, Clan Head, and is also the hottest Rating Game nowadays. master, although he is still just High-Class Devil, he has the strength of Ultimate-Class Devil. He once led a team to enter the top ten of Rating Game. There are already rumors in the industry that he will be upgraded to Ultimate-Class Devil in the near future."
"Although the second son did not participate in Rating Game, he is a cadre in the media industry. He has a large amount of media resources in Underworld and is a master at manipulating public opinion."
"As for Third Son----"
Leo raised his eyes, as if scanning Riser Phenex from head to toe, and praised with a smile.
"It is said that you have been debuting for several years and have participated in several official Rating Game. Although your current record is quite a lot of wins, looking at your style, it turns out that you are still not as famous as meeting you."
"After all, how can there be a rising star in the industry who comes from a noble family and still looks like a gangster?"
"Your winning rate is probably achieved either by your immortality or by spending money, right?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Riser Phenex, even Lady Phenex and Ravel Phenex's expressions couldn't help but change.
"You bastard----!"
Riser Phenex was on top almost instantly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Leo's collar at an extremely fast speed.
But he is fast, and others are faster than him.
"Buzz"
Along with a burst of fluctuations of Demonic Power and Sacred Gear, four figures appeared around Riser Phenex at the same time.
"Don't move."
Yukino Yukinoshita appeared on the left side of Riser Phenex, pressing a hand on his waist, with cold air surging in his palm.
"If you move again, this sword will plunge into your throat."
Asuna Yuuki appeared on the right side of Riser Phenex, holding a thin sword in his hand at some point. There was a sacred aura undulating on it. Asuna Yuuki placed it on Riser Phenex's neck, only a few inches away from his throat.
"If you don't want your hand, how about giving it to me?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka appeared in front of Riser Phenex and stood in front of Leo. He did not move, but the hand Riser Phenex stretched out was restrained by a cube-shaped barrier, as if it was handcuffed with transparent glass.
Mahiru Shiina appeared behind Riser Phenex without saying a word, with his slender hands open, holding purple flames in the shape of a cross, as if they might press on Riser Phenex at any time.
The air suddenly solidified, causing drastic changes in the eyes and expressions of everyone present.
Sirzechs and Grayfia Lucifuge opened their eyes slightly, looking at the four girls who appeared around Riser Phenex, their eyes filled with light.
Lady Phenex and Ravel Phenex were startled, looking at the girls with astonishment in their eyes.
But Riser Phenex, who was surrounded and even restrained by the girls, started to sweat profusely.
He could clearly feel how dangerous his current situation was.
The undulating cold air on the hand pressed against his waist was extremely astonishing, as if it could freeze the flames of his Phoenix. The sword held in front of his throat came with a deadly breath, making his proud immortal body tremble. He couldn't see the situation behind it, but the sacred fluctuations and terrifying heat brought the shadow of death to him, telling him how terrifying it was.
Even in the barrier that locked his arm, there was a wave of Demonic Power that was ready to go out, as if it would spurt out at any time and crush his arm on the spot. Countless goose bumps appeared on Riser Phenex's hands and the hairs stood up.
"H-how is this possible----?!"
Riser Phenex was shocked and yelled crazily in his heart.
He knew that Leo's dependents were all people with high potential, and their evaluations in the industry were ridiculously high. But since he dared to question Leo, he naturally would not take his dependents seriously.
From Riser Phenex's point of view, a group of little girls reincarnated into Devil are just a few months old. No matter how high their potential is, how strong can they be now?
Even when he saw the staggering beauty of each of these little girls, he felt quite disdainful and thought that the rumors must be wrong. Leo must have taken these women as his family because of their beauty. Otherwise, how could a group of Reincarnated Devil women with endless potential be all such outstandingly beautiful women?
He himself is collecting dependents with the idea of opening a harem, and all his servants are women, so he thinks he understands the bad qualities of men better than anyone else, and feels that Leo is just opening a harem, and that all the potential is just hype.
This is why Riser Phenex looks down on Leo.
It's not that he despises Leo for having a harem. After all, he has done it himself, so who has the right to look down on others because of it?
But if you open a harem and hit my sister's head, that's your fault.
In the final analysis, Riser Phenex is deliberately looking for trouble and feels extremely unhappy about the fact that his sister is going to be a dependent of a guy who has a harem.
Of course, he really looked down on Leo, feeling that Eligos Clan had been cut off for who knows how many years, and even his territory had been abandoned, and was extremely poor. In addition, Leo was still Devil with impure blood. If Riser Phenex didn't feel contempt and disdain for him, then it would be a pity for him to have such an image of a bad boy.
The result was obvious, he kicked the iron plate.
"Is this a breach of defense?"
Leo was protected by four girls and did not move from beginning to end. He looked at Riser Phenex through Utaha Kasumigaoka's shoulders, and Gujing made a sound.
"You scolded me much more harshly than this. I didn't even break my guard. Why did you break my guard?"
"It's okay for you to criticize others, but it's not okay for others to criticize you, right?"
"You still do it? Can you do it?"
As he said this, Leo also looked at Sirzechs and said something.
"I heard that this is Rias Gremory's fiancé? Lord Sirzechs, it seems that your father's vision is not very good. No wonder Rias Gremory will show a sad face from time to time. This does not look like a man worthy of "Crimson-Haired Princess of Destruction"."
Leo's words made Sirzechs purse his lips and fall into silence. It also made Riser Phenex's forehead veins pop out and he became angry with embarrassment.
"Bang!"
Unable to control his emotions, flames burst out from Riser Phenex's body, setting off waves of scorching Flame Stream.
Seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita and others' eyes turned cold, and Demonic Power's arrogance suddenly rose up, and they were about to take action.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Lady Phenex finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out to stop it.
"Mother----"
The flames on Riser Phenex's body stagnated, and he looked at his mother. He was about to say something, but was blocked by Lady Phenex's eyes.
"Yukino, Asuna, Utaha, Mahiru."
Leo then spoke calmly.
"Come back."
Hearing this, the girls exchanged glances with each other, then all put away their strength and walked back behind Leo.
Sirzechs and Lady Phenex looked deeply at these girls, with many thoughts in their hearts.
"Do these girls actually have such strength?"
Lady Phenex was a little shocked.
"Growing up so fast----"
Sirzechs was a little emotional and a little happy.
Obviously, the results of Yukino Yukinoshita and others' little show of their skills not only shocked everyone, but also exceeded many people's expectations.
Riser Phenex·Phenex, no matter how you say this, it's Pure-blood Devil, or High-Class Devil who has already debuted. He has won many games in Rating Game. In fact, In terms of strength, it might be even stronger than Rias Gremory, but in the end, he was easily restrained by several human girls who had only been reincarnated for a few months. This is undoubtedly shocking in the eyes of those who know the composition of Eligos's spring genus.
Not to mention other people, the way Ravel Phenex looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and others changed.
She is about to become a servant of the same "king" as these girls. The outstanding performance of Yukino Yukinoshita and others is enough to completely change this eldest lady Phenex Clan's future companions.
"Riser Phenex." Lady Phenex once again realized the potential of Eligos Peerage, looked at Riser Phenex with a stern look in his eyes, and said, "I apologize to Mr. Leo."
"What?" Riser Phenex's body that had just relaxed instantly tensed up, and he yelled as if he was furious, "Apologise? Why?"
"What do you think?" Lady Phenex's eyes turned cold and he said, "Think about what you just did and ask yourself, is that what a dignified Phenex Clan son should do?"
"But I just don't agree!" Riser Phenex said with great dissatisfaction, "So what if they have some strength? In a poor place like Eligos Territory, why should Ravel Phenex suffer in the past?"
"So?" Lady Phenex became expressionless and said, "Are you questioning my decision?"
"This----"Riser Phenex fell silent.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Ravel Phenex went to work as a servant for a poor guy, he still didn't dare to openly disobey his mother.
Don't think that Lady Phenex looks kind and gentle in front of Leo and think that this beautiful woman is a kind person. In fact, many people know that the current Phenex Clan Head's wife is actually very tough in style. She is the kind of person who speaks her truth. She is so domineering that even her husband sometimes dare not disobey her.
If this were not the case, Lady Phenex would not be able to single-handedly control his daughter's future. Regardless of her husband's objections, she directly decided to give Ravel Phenex to Leo as her family member.
Riser Phenex, who knows his mother well, believes that if he dares to openly question his mother in such a place, then his mother will dare to kick him out of the house.
So, Riser Phenex wisely shut up, but still had his dissatisfaction and unhappiness written directly on his face.
Leo glanced at the evil young man, then looked at Lady Phenex and said something.
"It seems that Madam has not been able to unify the opinions of the family. Why don't we stay here today and discuss this matter another day."
Hearing this, Lady Phenex became anxious on the spot.
"No, it doesn't matter what Riser Phenex's opinion is." Lady Phenex quickly comforted Leo, sighed, and said, "It's because I didn't teach my son well that I let him be so rude here."
"Don't worry, I will teach him a lesson when I get back."
Lady Phenex stared at Riser Phenex with such cold eyes that Riser Phenex's face froze.
He knew that his mother was not just talking, she really planned to deal with him after she went back.
----My immortal body should be able to hold on, right?
Riser Phenex I feel like running away.
Lady Phenex was no longer in the mood to pay attention to him anymore, and gestured to Ravel Phenex, causing Ravel Phenex to react.
"Sir Leo, please don't take your elder brother's words to heart." Ravel Phenex bowed his head to Leo and apologized, saying, "It is my honor to be your dependent, and it is also something I voluntarily do. My elder brother just cares about me too much. You have a lot, please forgive him this time."
What Ravel Phenex said was not completely against his will.
Originally, she was somewhat reluctant to be a servant to a man she had never met before. However, this was decided by her mother. As the daughter of the Phenex Clan, she had to make sacrifices for the family and had no right to resist.
But now, the reluctance in her heart has disappeared a lot.
The performance of Yukino Yukinoshita and others shocked her and made her realize that this family was indeed as rumored, and its future might be limitless.
This made her mind active and her thoughts quietly changed.
If there is such a group of companions, joining this dependent group can be regarded as a promising future, right?
And the master Leo is able to cultivate so many outstanding dependents, and his ability must be much stronger than what is mentioned in the rumors.
In this case, joining Qimao to serve him is not something that cannot be accepted.
Thinking of this, Ravel Phenex lifted up her skirt again and saluted Leo.
"Please Leo--no, please give me Evil Piece, master."
Under Ravel Phenex's plea, everyone looked at Leo.
Leo looked at the girl who bowed her head in supplication, and turned her eyes to the space where Evil Piece was stored.
I saw that almost all the chess pieces were shining brightly inside.
The "castle" chess piece shines brightest.
The "Pawn" chess piece shines second.
The "Knight" chess piece has the weakest light.
What surprised Leo the most was the "Queen" chess piece. This unique Evil Piece actually shone with a brilliance that was not much worse than the "Pawn" chess piece, almost catching up with the "castle" chess piece.
There are many people who can make the "Queen" chess piece shine. Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka have also made the "Queen" chess piece shine before, but their brilliance is very weak and cannot match the brilliance at this moment.
Among the people Leo has met so far, only "Chaos Karma Dragon" and Tiamat have made the "Queen" chess piece shine more brilliantly than it did now, and the rest of them can't compare to Ravel Phenex.
"Is this young lady so suitable to become "Queen"?"
Leo hesitated immediately.
