Chapter 116 Three chances to ask questions

At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, filling the sky with sunset glow.

The evening sun shines on the forest path in front of the old school building and spreads across the open space, covering the entire forest with a layer of golden color.

"Hey, everyone from the Gremory family, we meet again."

Aize raised his hand like a visiting guest and greeted Rias and the others.

However, Rias and the others did not seem to welcome him at all, and even showed some hostility towards him.

"What are you doing here?"

Rias questioned directly, her attitude could hardly be called good.

Obviously, she was still holding a grudge about what happened last time.

Aize seemed not to notice and spoke slowly.

"I need to talk to you about something."

This sentence instantly increased the hostility emanating from Rias and the others, and there was also a hint of vigilance and alertness rising.

There was no way. The last person who was said this by Aize was the female fallen angel who had been captured by him.

At that time, Aize also said that he had something to find the other party, but he ended up blowing up the other party's base and even killed the other party's subordinates.

Now, Aize suddenly came here and said something like this, how could Rias and others not be alert?

"So, your target this time is us?"

When Rias said this, bright red flames slowly burned from her body.

"You could say that." Aize said nonchalantly. When Rias and the others were ready to fight, he changed the subject and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to fight you. I just need your help with something."

help?

What help?

Himejima Akeno, Kiba Yuto, and Tajo Koneko looked at each other, while Rias looked like she didn't believe it at all.

Seeing this, Aize didn't waste any more words. He waved the Blood Scythe in his hand, causing figures to descend from the air.

"That is……?"

Rias and the others were stunned.

"These are the subordinate demons of a certain garbage demon." Aize said to Rias: "I hope you can help place them so that they will not be persecuted."

After hearing what Aize said, not only Rias, but all the Gremory followers were confused.

"You said, they are all subordinate demons?" Rias frowned and asked, "What about their masters?"

This question was met with a straightforward response from Aize.

"killed."

That overly straightforward and cold answer made Rias and the others change their expressions.

"You killed their master? A high-ranking demon?"

Rias's delicate face turned a little ugly.

"Yes."

Aize nodded.

"Do you know what you are doing now?" Rias was so angry that she was shaking all over. The bright red flames on her body became more and more intense. She said with frost in her voice: "You are admitting in front of me, a superior demon, that you killed a superior demon and killed my compatriots!"

It would have been fine if he just admitted it, but Aize also asked Rias to help him place the followers of the higher-level demons he had killed, and asked her not to let them be persecuted?
How can he have the nerve to say such words and do such things?

"If you knew what that trash demon did, you wouldn't think what I'm doing now is weird." Aize glanced at Rias and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you the details. Anyway, as long as you investigate the identities of these subordinate demons, you will know who I killed and why I want you to help settle them."

"I won't let you work for nothing either. Like I just said, I'll tell you what happened during this time."

"That is, this is a one-time deal."

Aize held up three fingers towards Rias.

"three times."

"You have three chances to ask me a question."

"I will answer your three questions truthfully and guarantee that the answers I give you are all true and will never be false."

Aize curled the corners of his mouth.

"How about it? Do you want to agree?"

Hearing this, Rias clenched her fists and fell silent.

Although she was very angry, she realized that this was a good opportunity.

If we can make good use of these three questions, most of the problems that have arisen during this period of time may be solved.

Under normal circumstances, Rias would definitely not compromise like this. Her self-esteem would not allow her to do so.

But now Juwang Town is indeed in a not very good state. It is like a whirlpool, constantly drawing in people from all major forces.

If we don't quickly find out the truth about what happened in the past few days, then when an irreversible and violent conflict really occurs between the various forces during the investigation, it will be too late to regret it.

"President..." Himejima Akeno and the others seemed to understand Rias's feelings and focused their attention on her.

Rias took a deep breath to calm herself down.

The bright red flame gradually disappeared from its body.

Rias returned to normal, looked at Aize coldly, and said.

"Are you sure you will answer my questions truthfully?"

"Of course." Aize replied calmly: "You can choose not to believe me, but even if the answer I provide you is false, it won't do you any harm, right?"

If Aize's answer was false, then Rias could just go back on her word and not fulfill her promise and abandon the demon followers that Aize brought with him.

Of course, with Rias's personality, after knowing these people's past, she would never abandon them.

Aize was still confident about this, so he didn't intend to just give Rias a perfunctory answer.

As long as Rias is willing to fulfill her promise, he will never mix any lies into these three questions.

"Om..."

At this moment, Aize swung the Blood-Overlord Scythe again, causing its blade to vibrate slightly, controlling gravity and sending the women floating in the air to Rias.

Himejima Akeno, Kiba Yuto, and Tashiro Koneko checked these people while remaining vigilant. After not finding any obvious problems with them, they temporarily sent them to the old school building.

Himejima Akeno also took the opportunity to deploy the magic cube formation and secretly investigated the identities of these subordinate demons.

Then, not long after, Himejima Akeno's expression changed significantly.

"President..."

Himejima Akeno immediately came to Rias's side and whispered something in her ear.

After hearing those words, Rias obviously lost her composure.

"The high-ranking demon you killed is the successor to the Astarte family?"

Rias looked at Aize in shock.

In response, Aize just replied.

"Is this your first question?" Aize said expressionlessly: "If this is your first question, then I will answer you truthfully."

Rias really wanted to say yes.

He is the successor of the Astarte family and a relative of the current Demon King Beelzebub!
Such a person actually died in Juwang Town. This is a big deal!

Based on this incident alone, even if there had not been the riots during this period, Juwang Town would have become as lively as it is now, and the atmosphere would definitely be more tense than it is now.

Now it is just that the mysterious incident whose truth is unknown has attracted the attention of various forces, causing conflicts and frictions among them. If the news of Diodora's murder spreads back to the underworld, then the demon world will launch a large-scale crusade against the culprit.

If that happens, even if Juwang Town is not destroyed, it will be affected.

When Rias thought about the disastrous future, she even wanted to kill Aize.

Klias still suppressed her impulse and did not regard this matter as her first problem.

Because Aize has already said that he killed a garbage demon, and as long as he investigates the identities of those subordinate demons, the situation will probably become clear.

In this case, this rare opportunity to ask questions should not be wasted.

"…Why did you attack those fallen angels last time?"

Rias suppressed all her impulses and asked this question.

"Didn't I tell you already? I have something to do with the fallen angels there!" Aize raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't intend to attack them directly. They attacked me first. I was acting in self-defense, right?"

It would be best if self-defense could go that far.

"Don't give me the cold shoulder!" Rias glared at Aize and said bluntly, "I need to know the detailed cause and effect, otherwise it won't count as answering the question!"

"Okay." Aize didn't want to give Rias a perfunctory answer, so he spread his hands and said, "It's actually not as complicated as you think. I just want that fallen angel to help me bring someone here."

"That person is nothing special, he just has a rare artifact, so you don't have to think that there is anything particularly important in it, and it doesn't involve any conspiracy."

"I just wanted to recruit a talent, but the fallen angel also took a fancy to that talent, which led to this conflict and the situation."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

These words not only did not make Rias feel relieved, but made her even more concerned.

If what the other party said was true, then what kind of person would be favored by both him and the fallen angel?
Is there anything special about the opponent's artifact?
Is there really no conspiracy involved?
Rias had these suspicions but did not ask about them.

"Second question." Rias looked directly at Aize and asked, "Remember when we first met, you told me that the first person who caused the large-scale destruction in Juou Town was a man named Siegfried, right?"

"You also said that he was here to win you over."

"But according to my subsequent investigation, the person who inherited the name of the hero Siegfried is suspected to no longer be in the church."

"So, where is he now?"

"What force does he represent to win you over?"

Rias finally asked the most important question.
