“HāHāHāHāHā… look at him, Princess Rias, your betrothed is a coward who can’t even accept my challenge!”
“HāHāHāHāHā!!!”
After a brief moment of astonishment, Diodora’s shrill laughter rang out throughout the venue.
Tenraku, this fool, he even dared to openly refuse his challenge, doesn’t he know that his actions will cause him to be laughed at by everyone?!
For a Devil, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how noble your status is, but if you do not dare to accept a challenge, then you are a coward who would be rejected by others!
You would be despised by the entire Underworld!
Sure enough, with Diodora laughing, all the guests looked at Tenraku differently, with a mix of sarcasm and disappointment on their faces.
They had thought that the Phenex family really had produced a miracle son but he still turns out to be the waste he was, waste will always remain a waste, hehe…
“Onii-chan…”
“Tenraku…”
In contrast to the guests’ sarcastic disappointment, Ravel was so anxious that her eyes were about to burst into tears, and Sairaorg, Rias, and the other women also looked at Tenraku in disbelief.
They all know very well that Tenraku is definitely not the kind of coward who is afraid of any challenges!
So why…
After stroking Ravel’s forehead to show her not to worry, Tenraku stepped forward and put away the smile on his face, and his gaze became stern.
“Diodora, I think you have misunderstood something. I rejected your challenge not because I am afraid of you, but because I couldn’t accept the terms you have offered!”
“Rias belongs to herself, her happiness is up to her, she is not someone that you use as a bet!”
“Do you want to challenge me? Then go ahead! But the stakes are not Rias’ happiness, but mine, my Kamiya Tenraku’s everything, and if you can beat me, whether you want to humiliate me or kill me, it would be up to you!”
Tenraku’s voice made the whole meeting place in an uproar again.
He refused Diodora’s challenge just because of this reason, was the happiness of the Gremory princess more important in his eyes than his own dignity and life?
Silly! Ridiculous! Incomprehensible!
Tenraku’s face was calm as he proudly and fearlessly accepted the scrutinizing and suspicious eyes.
He did not consider which was more important, Rias’ happiness or his own dignity or life, he simply did not want to involve Rias in this.
If his happiness requires a woman’s happiness to pay for him, then he would be a real coward and when that happens, Tenraku will despise and look down upon himself!
Since Diodora wants to fight, then let’s fight, but he will be betting on his dignity, on his life, if he loses then he deserves it!
“Hā Hā Hā Hā Hā……”
“Kamiya Tenraku, you really are an interesting guy!”
Sairaorg laughed in high spirits. Although he wanted to fight Tenraku very much, he would let Diodora be the villain today!
Ravel burst into tears and looked at Tenraku very excitedly. She knew that her Tenraku Onii-chan was definitely not a coward!
Seekvaira, Sona, Shinra Tsubaki, and the other women are also constantly looking at Tenraku, their eyes are shining with different kinds of colors.
Unlike anyone else, this man is really very special!
As for Rias, she was frozen in her tracks.
She is not a tool for marriage, nor an item for gambling. She is Rias Gremory, and everything about her happiness belongs to her, and she is in charge of herself
Tenraku’s voice seemed to reverberate constantly in her mind, causing a great resonance in the young girl’s entire soul!
If the previous act of Tenraku standing in front of her had only stirred up some waves in her heart, at this moment, his words had raised a huge wave in her heart……
“Kamiya Tenraku, you said it yourself!”
Diodora spoke with a sardonic laugh, he did not expect Tenraku to be so foolish as to gamble with his own dignity and life.
Diodora has long lost interest in women after his ‘Little Man’ was cut off. Even though the Nuns and Saintess he collected, apart from torturing them every day and night and enjoying their screams, Diodora has not touched their bodies even once. Because it would make him feel very uncomfortable and nauseous.
As for Rias, he didn’t care about her at all. Originally, he just wanted to use her to provoke Tenraku to agree to a match with him, but he didn’t expect to end up with such a result, Diodora is already laughing crazily in his heart at Tenraku’s foolishness.
According to the bet that Tenraku had made, after he defeats him, he can humiliate him, torture him, and finally kill him and Lucifer or the Phenex family would not be able to say anything!
“Ah, that’s what I said. But Diodora, where is your wager?”
“I bet everything I have too!”
Hatred for Tenraku had long made Diodora twisted and crazy and he had nearly lost his mind to his madness, and Diodora didn’t hesitate to put up a reciprocal bet.
But Tenraku shook his head–
“I am not at all interested in any of your things, whether your dignity or your life. If you lose then there is only one thing you need to do -“
“Apologize to my fiancee Rias Gremory!”
After hearing Tenraku’s words, Diodora was briefly stunned, and then his entire face became savage:
“Kamiya Tenraku!!!”
Tenraku’s request seemed to give him a huge advantage, but it was an absolute insult!!
Not bothering to pay any more attention to Diodora who was like a mad dog, Tenraku instead looked to Sirzechs who was off to the side.
“Sirzechs-Sama, although a little willful, please allow me to compete with Diodora this time. If I lose, no matter if he humiliates me or kills me, I won’t have the slightest complaint.”
Tenraku’s stern face also made Sirzechs understand his decision.
“Lucifer-Sama, I also asked for permission. Please allow me to play a Rating Game with Kamiya Tenraku!”
Not to be left behind, Diodora also spoke after Tenraku.
Staring at the two, Sirzechs sighed helplessly. If he still can’t see that Tenraku and Diodora have a grudge, then he would really be a fool.
If this incident is not handled properly then it will not only adversely affect Tenraku and Diodora, but also Rias and the entire Gremory family, which Sirzechs would never want to see.
A sharp light flashed in his eyes as Sirzechs also made his own decision:
“Although you are not yet eligible to participate in the official Rating Game, but since you all have agreed then I will grant special permission this time.”
“Kamiya Tenraku, Diodora Astaroth, in the name of Great Satan Lucifer, I grant you a Rating Game!”
Sirzechs’ voice made a huge wave throughout the venue, and Tenraku and Diodora also looked at each other, and they could see the bloodthirsty and coldness in each other’s eyes.
Vengeance or others, Let’s decide the best in their first Rating Game!
