As soon as the voice came out, it instantly caught everyone's attention.
Everyone saw a young man enter.
This man has a stern face, short brown hair, and his eyes are full of killing intent, he looks like the type of male protagonist who has been a soldier for many years and fits perfectly into the setting of the novel "Return of the Dragon King".
Of course he was Hyudou Issei, the protagonist of this world who barged in wearing a floral shirt with shorts and flip flops.
His arrival seemed very confident, despite his out-of-place attire. Even when receiving contemptuous stares from people, he misunderstood that they were stares of admiration and awe towards him.
This is what is called the protagonist's self-confidence!
Wherever he goes, he will always be the center of attention because he is the protagonist!
Rias looked at Issei with a surprised expression on her face.
Earlier when Riser said that Hyudou Issei had returned, Rias thought Riser was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect that Issei Hyudou had actually appeared now.
After listening to Issei's words, everyone present was in an uproar.
Several bodyguards immediately surrounded Issei.
Riser was surprised to see this and rushed to speak to the bodyguards.
"Don't stop him, let him come and talk."
[This bodyguard was really dedicated, but they was also really not afraid of death. Dragon King's return was a one-hit headshot. If I had been late a few seconds later, I'm afraid Issei would have really killed someone.]
After listening to Riser's words, Rias was a little confused, and looked at Issei carefully, and found that there was a murderous look in Issei's eyes.
Rias couldn't help but frown.
This man named Hyudou Issei was too domineering, he wanted to kill the bodyguards just for stopping him for the sake of professional ethics?
Issei glanced at Riser, and said coldly.
"Are you Riser Phenex, the young master of the Phenex family? I heard you were going to force Rias to marry you as your fiancée today."
Riser hurriedly shook his head.
"No, no, there's absolutely no such thing. Don't worry, I've already asked my parents to cancel the engagement with Rias." freewebno(v)el.com
Riser's attitude is very good, after all, his goal is very simple, which is not to provoke the protagonist so that he can live longer.
You should know that Riser is just a super-rich young master of the Phenex family, the key point is that he is an ordinary human being with a lot of money and an arguably strong background.
But what good is all that when his opponent is a protagonist with superhuman power who can slaughter 1000 soldiers single-handedly?
And besides having terrifying powers, Issei, as the Dragon King has his own army abroad known as the "Dragon King Army". It is the number one mercenary organization abroad whose existence is terrifying and should not be provoked unless you want to die or are overconfident.
There are also connections that Issei has after saving many high-status people while he was abroad.
Although the Phenex family is the richest family and has good relations with the Japanese military, it is only a matter of time and some effort for the protagonist to destroy such a big family using his power and connections.
So for now, Riser doesn't want to make the protagonist hate him too much. At least until he has enough power to fight the protagonist.
Why does it sound like he wants to fight the protagonist? It's because he knows from the novel that the protagonist has a plan to destroy the Phenex Family, even without provocation from him as a villain.
Provocation from the villain would only make the protagonist accelerate his plan.
After hearing what Riser said, Issei was clearly stunned for a moment, and the murderous look in his eyes began to fade a lot.
"That's good."
Then Issei turned his gaze to the beautiful red-haired woman.
Rias Gremory.
Since high school, Issei had secretly been in love with Rias for a long time.
It was only because Issei had low self-esteem in his heart back then, so he never dared to speak to Rias.
Five years ago, Issei got the chance to go abroad to join the mercenaries, and within five years swept the world and became invincible, and only then returned to Japan.
As soon as he returned, he heard the news that Rias was forced into marriage by her family Issei also rushed over after hearing this, he vowed to take the goddess he favored at that time.
Issei looked at Rias, and spoke in a very gentle tone.
"It's me, Rias. Don't worry, no one can force you this time, come with me, we'll live happily ever after."
After listening to Issei's words, Rias was completely unmoved, but a little strange.
If the previous plot setting is followed, Rias was persecuted by her family, feeling that the whole world had betrayed her, and she was very helpless.
At this time, Issei appeared, he was like a great savior in the dark.
But seeing the situation develop to this point, Issei's affectionate confession gave Rias goosebumps all over her body, and even felt a little disgusted.
This man would kill people as soon as he first appeared, and now he has such a gentle tone towards me, why?
Then another voice sounded in her head, strangely this was the same as when she heard Riser's inner voice, but this time what she heard was Issei's voice.
[What are you waiting for, Rias? Quickly come to me and throw your body into my arms! My hands are itching to feel your breasts, after five years have passed, my goddess has become even more beautiful and sexy! Ohhhh! Perfectly suited to be my wife, the Dragon King, Hyudou Issei!]
[When you came to me, I promised to give you lots of love. We'll make love in my house tonight, I'll take away all your sorrows on the Dragon King's bed!]
Rias took a step back when she heard this, and looked at Issei with disgust and a hint of fear in her eyes.
She didn't know why she could hear other people's inner voices, but whatever it was she was grateful to be able to see the rottenness in Issei's heart, even without that she wouldn't have agreed to come with Issei either.
That man was just a pervert who coveted her body!
A disgusting pervert, the first time we met asking me to elope with him?
Are you crazy?
You're too confident!
Riser was stunned, not only Rias, actually he also heard Issei's voice in his head.
[Fuck, this voice... Issei's voice? Why can I hear protagonist's voice in my head? Damn, this is disgusting! Is this a system bug or something? Hey I don't want to hear a man's voice in my head!]
[Ah! By the way, you two hurry up, please leave quickly, this way, I can also survive this chapter.]
[You guys should find a place where there are no people and live in seclusion, give birth to 10 or 7 fat babys, and then not appear in front of me again.]
Riser can also hear Issei's inner voice? Rias was surprised to hear this and naturally turned to the blonde man.
Rias gritted her teeth in annoyance, in his heart, this bastard encouraged me to be with Issei?
You bastard, I'm your fiancee!
Even if we don't have a romantic relationship, can you be a little care with me?
Why are you indifferent to me now? You used to be so possessive...
Rias felt somewhat sad in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she shook her head, and spoke to Issei firmly.
"Hyudou Issei, right? Issei, you're thinking too much, there's no way I'm going with you."
After hearing what Rias said, Riser fell silent.
[Did you make a mistake? You are the number one heroine in this book, why don't you go with the protagonist?]
[Shouldn't you have regarded Issei as a great savior as soon as you saw him, and then left me willingly and threw yourself into Issei's arms?]
[You're too unqualified to be the heroine! You're ignoring the plot, hey heroine, please be self-aware!]
Rias heard Riser's crazy complaints, and seeing his depressed expression, she suddenly felt like laughing again.
By the way Riser kept saying something about protagonists, heroines, and plots.
At first Rias didn't believe this was a novel world and she was the heroine, but after all this she more or less believed it.
Of course after knowing this, she didn't plan to follow the plot of the novel mentioned by Riser. This was her life, only she could control what she wanted to do!
As for the plot of the novel? Cut it up and destroy it!
And by doing this, she could make Riser depressed hehe, it was somehow interesting to see the various expressions from that man other than the dog-licking expression he often showed her.
After being rejected by Rias, Issei showed a confused expression, then immediately understood, and looked at Riser with a fierce gaze.
"Riser, it must be you, the man who looks good on the surface, but actually uses his family to threaten Rias, forcing her not to speak up and divorce you, right?"
As Issei was speaking, a beam of green light began to appear from around his body.
This was a sign that he had started using the Dragon King's power and was ready to kill people.
Upon seeing this scene, Riser was also shocked.
[It's over, it's over, Rias got me killed this time.]
[This stupid woman refused to cancel the engagement and now the Dragon King Issei, is going to kill me, and I have no power to resist.]
After Rias heard these words, she was shocked, and immediately stood in front of Riser.
"Issei, what do you want to do?"
After Issei saw Rias blocking him, the murderous expression on his face disappeared a lot, and he spoke very earnestly.
"Rias, were you really wronged? You can tell me, as soon as you open your mouth, I will kill this Riser and his entire Phenex family!"
After hearing Issei's words, everyone present was in an uproar again.
Crazy, this guy is crazy!
You should know that the Phenex family is one of the seven major families in Kuoh City, and there are many talented people in that family.
Even in Japan, the Phenex family was an extremely powerful force worthy of the name.
This Hyudou Issei actually said that he would destroy the Phenex family once he appeared, and the tone when talking about the Phenex family could be said to be very arrogant.
Riser's father, Rudra Phenex, head of the Phenex family, spoke coldly:
"Mr. Issei, you asked our Phenex family to divorce our engagement when you appeared, and now you keep saying that you want to destroy my Phenex family. Isn't that too domineering?"
Lord Phenex smiled coldly, and pointed at Issei's face. Being pointed at his face, Issei became even more arrogant, he of course knew the identity of the person pointing at his face, but so what?
"Just because you forced Rias to marry your son, your Phenex family should be erased from this world!"
I have to say that Issei's appearance was really domineering, but in Rias' eyes, it added a lot of disgust to her heart.
"Issei, Uncle Phenex is an elder I respect a lot, please be respectful when talking to him!"
After listening to Rias' words, Issei was again stunned.
"I already know who this person is. But Rias, are you having unavoidable difficulties? You trust me, I can help you solve your problem."
As if to prove his own power, Issei suddenly threw a punch.
Seeing the burst of green light emanating from the hall in an instant, amidst the screams of the crowd, Issei punched a huge hole in the wall.
This scene also greatly surprised Rias.
[It's over, it's over, this Issei is really crazy. Rias, Rias, go with him, fall in love with him, and have a child with him, stay away from me, okay?]
Listening to Riser's voice, Rias' heart became even more unhappy.
I, Rias Gremory, originally wanted to retire from the engagement so as not to be governed by others, why are you, Riser Phenex, governing me?
Besides, how can this Issei look like a good person?
This is much worse than Riser!
Rias shook her head, and spoke to Issei very firmly.
"No one forced me. It's true that Riser just proposed to cancel the engagement, but neither his parents nor I agreed."
"Issei, you are indeed very strong, but I don't like you."
"If you really start killing here today, then I, Rias Gremory, swear to God that I will hunt down and avenge for the rest of my life until I die."
After Issei heard Rias' words, he was completely stunned. A look of disbelief was clearly visible on his face.
After a moment, Issei turned his gaze to Riser with a look of hatred in his eyes.
"You Riser are so cunning that you want to use this method to trick Rias' heart and feelings?"
"You just wait, I will definitely show your true face. Rias will definitely see me and become my wife willingly."
After saying this, Issei angrily walked out towards the gate.
There was no massacre.
Riser also let out a sigh of relief when she saw Issei leave.
[It's fine, okay, even though this Rias has no brains, at least she got rid of the protagonist Issei temporarily.]
[What a headache, I have to find a way to quickly make this Rias fall in love with Issei and disappear from my side.]
[I'll have to ask my parents later to find out if there's a way to cancel this engagement. If it's a big deal, give a little more profit to the Gremory family so that the other party is satisfied and doesn't complain.]
When Rias heard this, she immediately glared at Riser.
What happened to Riser? Today he keeps trying to push me into the arms of a stranger like Issei?
You really don't like me, Rias Gremory, do you, then I won't make it easy for you!
Rias suddenly shouted.
"Issei, stop for me."
Issei immediately stopped, turned around, and looked at Rias expectantly.
[Ah, yes, yes, this is the plot. Rias ran quickly, jumped into Issei's arms, and left while holding hands with him.]
Rias glanced at Riser with a sweet smile on her beautiful face.
The next moment, in front of Issei's unbelievable eyes, Rias suddenly drew close to Riser's face, stuck out her pink lips, and kissed Riser's face lightly.
"This is my first kiss."
Rias said this to Riser softly, then straightened her body again, and looked at Issei.
"See? Issei. I did everything willingly."
"Even if you are strong, if you want to get me by violent means, I will never let you do it."
Issei's teeth were about to shatter, he did not blame Rias, but turned his venomous gaze towards Riser.
"Very good, just wait for me, after I reveal your true colors and tell Rias what kind of villain and traitor you really are, that will be the date of your death."
After saying this, Issei left angrily.
Riser was also dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events.
[What's wrong? What illness does Rias have? Do you want to see a psychiatrist?]
[If you're such a good heroine, why did you give me your first kiss? You even intentionally kissed me in front of the protagonist! Are you crazy? You really want me to die quickly, right?]

Author note
I know some of you don't like cowardly MCs, but trust me this is just for a character development. Riser is currently still in the early stages, so it's still vulnerable when fighting protagonists with high combat power like Issei.
