Chapter 449: A Serious Discussion (II)...

[POV Reo] 

"Do you have anything else you want to do?" I asked Yachiru as the two of us finally walked out of the Amusement Park. After our lunch, the two of us spent the rest of our day, sitting on the bench in the park and after that, we went for a short walk around the lake while holding hands. 

"We should get something to eat" Yachiru said with a smile and I completely agreed with her. There were a lot of food stalls outside the Amusement Park, so I quickly led Yachiru towards the food stalls.

After half an hour, the two of us finally started to walk down the streets with crepes in our hands. "What about a movie?" I asked and Yachiru seemed to think for a bit. 

"Okay, but can we watch something like the one we saw last time?" Yachiru questioned quickly and after a moment, I simply shook my head. 

"How about we return to Knox and watch a movie on our TV? I didn't find any good movies in the theatres" I said and Yachiru hummed in agreement. I didn't check the other Universes or Multiverses, as I was feeling slightly lazy and you could have a couple of liberties when you are watching a movie in your home. 

After that, Yachiru started to pay attention to the crepe in her hand. I couldn't stop myself from smiling after I saw how cute she looked. The two of us loved spicy food but that didn't mean that we couldn't enjoy something sweet from time to time. 

I finally teleported with Yachiru after we finished our crepes. Both of us finally sat down in front of the TV after turning off the lights. Most of the girls were still in the house but all of them were busy with their own stuff. Since Yachiru liked the previous Indiana Jones movie, I decided to play another Indiana Jones movie. 

I snaked my arm around Yachiru's shoulder and quickly pulled her into my arms. She meekly placed her head on my chest as she got comfortable on my lap. I used my powers to bring us some sake since Yachiru loved sake more than any other type of alcohol and I wasn't picky…

[Lilith, Underworld] 

"Grayfia, be a dear and call the Gremory family" Hela said in a sweet tone. Grayfia nodded her head with a stoic look on her face. Moments later, she contacted Zeoticus Gremory through her communication circle. 

Grayfia finally closed the communication circle and turned back towards Hela. "They will be here in 10 minutes" Grayfia answered with a small bow. Grayfia might look completely stoic but internally she was completely restless. 

"...What are you planning to do with them?" After a few minutes of complete silence, Grayfia wasn't able to hold herself back any longer and ended up asking Hela about it in a nervous tone. 

"I was wondering how long you would be able to hold on for…" Hela mused in an amused tone as she turned around along with her chair so she could look into Grayfia's eyes. 

"Let's consider for a moment that the Devils are still under the previous management. Now, let's consider that Yuuto Kiba gets killed or he accidentally kills an Exorcist, what do you think would happen after that?" Hela questioned in an amused tone. 

Grayfia internally grimaced after hearing the question. Hela did have a point. Of course, the whole scenario mentioned by Hela was completely speculative and in reality, the alteration probably wouldn't have escalated that much but she couldn't say anything for sure. Accidents happen. 

"You don't need to answer. You could probably guess, the result wouldn't have been anything good. Rias Gremory is the King of her peerage, she should be held responsible for the mess of her peerage" Hela said in a dismissive manner and Grayfia could only sigh in a defeated manner. 

Once again, Hela was right. As a King, you must be held responsible for your peerage's actions. "I also need to deal with the Bael Clan and the Fallen Angels… too much to do" Hela grumbled as she rapped her fingers on the table. She had been somewhat free since Death didn't call her. 

After a few moments, Zeoticus Gremory finally arrived with his family, sans Millicas Gremory. "Lady Hela" Zeoticus Gremory greeted Hela followed by the rest of his family. Hela's eyes flickered towards Rias Gremory, she looked kind of lost. 

Hela pursed her lips and offered all of them a seat. "I don't have much time so I won't be beating around the bush. Rias Gremory, I am not impressed by your conduct" Hela said in a blunt tone. Sirzechs blinked for a couple of seconds and clenched his armrest. Both Zeoticus and Venelana felt really uncomfortable. 

"To be honest, I wanted your punishment to be more severe but you are a daughter and a sister of my followers so I decided something light for you. You are being removed from Kuoh, you are clearly not ready to maintain a Territory"

"You will be returning to the Underworld and start learning how to manage your peerage" Hela said in a firm tone. Rias gasped in horror and turned towards Sirzechs who had a complicated smile on his face.

"Don't look over at your brother. He won't be able to do anything to change my decision. At first, I wanted to dissolve your peerage but I decided to scrap that idea… for now" Hela snarled and all the Gremories flinched back in fear. 

"...May I ask why my sister is the only one being punished?" Sirzechs Lucifer asked after a few seconds of complete silence. Hela grinned and nodded her head. 

"Your sister is getting punished because she doesn't know how to manage her peerage. She should have declared Yuuto Kiba as a Stray Devil as soon as she walked out of that damn building but she didn't" Hela pointed out and Sirzechs Lucifer simply nodded his head in understanding. 

"...But how will I get new recruits?" Rias asked in a bewildered tone and Hela simply gave the dumb girl a blank look. Hela walked to smack the girl senseless but she would probably die. 

"Do I look like someone who gives a fuck? Kill someone and then resurrect them…" Hela bit out in an annoyed tone. "Now, all of you might leave" Hela said in a fake polite tone. The Gremory could only accept their defeat and leave… there wasn't anything they could do. 

"I had thought that your punishment would be more severe" Grayfia muttered and Hela simply grinned with an amused look on her face. 

"Her punishment isn't over…" Hela finished with a grin and once again Grayfia internally grimaced. She should have kept her mouth shut… 

[Unknown Location, Underworld] 

"So, Katerea and Creuserey are dead?" A silver-haired man with a matching goatee asked with a contemplative look on his face. The man looked like someone in his 40s. He was wearing the same Maou Lucifer attire as Sirzechs Lucifer, although his dress was coloured in silver. 

(Image Here) 

The man's name is Rizevim Livan Lucifer, the son of True Lucifer. He was also the leader of the group called Kaos Brigade. Rizevim acted in a light-mannered way, speaking in a way that is filled with jokes that carry no weight but are filled with ill intent. 

He was also known to be immensely malicious, vicious and brutal, as he even toyed with his son, whom he deemed to be worthless. He is very prideful with his achievements, always acting like this made him superior to everyone and for being a True Devil in his eyes.

"Yes, milord and Shalba Beelzebub is barely alive" a young handsome looking man appearing in his early twenties with silver hair tied in a braided hairstyle answered in a respectful tone. He was wearing a silver robe with detailed accessories.

(Image Here) 

The man's name is Euclid Lucifuge. He is a calm and collective individual with a ruthless and manipulative side to him as well. Due to his upbringing as a Lucifuge, Euclid is a fanatic Lucifer loyalist, with narrow-minded loyalty to the original Lucifer. 

Euclid Lucifuge is the younger brother of Grayfia Lucifuge. Euclid fully supported the original Lucifer's ambition and ideas of world domination and unlike his sister, he is unable to accept the pacifistic rule of the current Satans, as he completely despised the current Satans particularly Sirzechs Lucifer. 

"Hmm… this is going to be problematic. It seems that we need to quicken the pace of our plans" Rizevim said with a small grin on his face. Euclid decided to remain silent for now as it wasn't his place to make any comments. 

"Contact that skeleton and Tepes Clan… I also want you to contact all of our supporters. It is about time that we start removing the variables from our board" Rizevim said and Euclid nodded his head in understanding. 

"Ah… were you able to locate Crom Cruach?" Rizevim questioned. 

"Forgive me, my milord but I wasn't able to locate him" Euclid said in an apologetic tone and bowed his head. 

"Hmm… keep looking" Rizevim ordered and Euclid left the room without saying anything else…
