I'm glad many of you are enjoying the story so far. As for deleting the old chapter and replacing it with this one, I decided to change some things and keep future OCs a surprise. Also this is strictly ChadxKurokaxRossweisse. Anyway, I hope for more reviews after this chapter! Enjoy!

(Underworld)

"Zech-tan~!"

A loud, feminine voice rang through the halls of the mansion belonging to one Sirzechs Lucifer. Said Satan was currently in his office, doing the usual paperwork. It was one of the many things he disliked about his current position, but it was a necessity to ensure the survival of the Devil Race. Right now though, Sirzechs would have to deal with another Satan.

Without even a chance to speak, the door to his office were thrust open. The perpetrator was a beautiful young girl with purple eyes and long black hair tied into ponytails. Despite her childlike body, she possessed large breasts that seemed to bounce with sync with her excitement. The most notable thing was that she was wearing what would be best described as a pink Magical Girl outfit, including a wand in her hand. This was Serafall Leviathan, the Satan in charge of foreign affairs.

Knowing what this was about, Sirzechs put on his best smile. "Ah, Serafall. Good to see you again"

BONK!

Sirzechs was cut off when Serafall delivered a hard hit to the head with her wand. The Lucifer let out a yelp as he gripped his head, already feeling a lump starting to form. Serafall had a childish pout on her face as she glared cutely.

"Zech-tan, why are you so mean? You didn't tell me Cha-tan was spotted in Kuoh!" Serafall exclaimed.

Rubbing his head, Sirzechs tried to speak back. "I was going to tell you Serafall, honestly. It's just that I was distracted by other matters and" He was cut off again but was not hit on the head, thankfully.

"Liar! You were going to keep it a secret from me and not let me see Cha-tan! Zech-tan is a meanie!" Shouted the Leviathan.

"Lady Leviathan, I must ask that you please keep your voice down." Came Grayfia. The Queen had headed towards her husband's office the moment she sensed Serafall's demonic aura. Knowing the reason for her visit, Grayfia made sure to help Sirzechs reign in the lady Satan in case she let her emotions get the better of her, as usual. "Others are working here, and it would not do any good if someone of your position were to bother them."

Serafall just pouted at her friend's wife but made no noise. This allowed Grayfia to continue. "Regarding to not notifying you of Chad Walker's presence in Kuoh, we had concluded that it was not necessary as his presence there would most likely cause an uproar in the Underworld. Furthermore, his stay there is only temporary, so it wouldn't make sense for you to leave in the first place." The maid explained.

"That's just all the more reason to go!" Serafall said back. "I haven't seen Cha-tan in so long! This is the first sighting we've had of him in months. I don't care what you say, I'm going to Kuoh to see Cha-tan!" And with that, Serafall took off, leaving a trail of dust behind her.

Sirzechs groaned, rubbing his eyes. "Grayfia, could you"

"I've already notified Lord and Lady Sitri. They will be sure to keep Serafall in line until this thing blows over." His wife replied. If anyone could keep the excited and go-luck Leviathan, it was her parents.

"Thank you. If possible, I would like to keep Chad's presence in Kuoh a secret as much as possible. If the Devil nobles were to discover he was in Devil territory, some of them might try to use it as an excuse in questioning my leadership." Sirzechs sighed, looking out the window. "Despite that we were in the wrong during the Second Titan War, our kind once again is under the delusion that we're the ones unjustly accused."

When the Evil Pieces were first created, there were naturally many reactions from other Pantheons, most of them negative. Understandable since the pieces allowed Devils to turn other species into Devils, and the inhabitants of Hell were not well welcomed by most due to their background. Thus, not only could Devils not reincarnate Deities (since they were too powerful for reincarnation) but they could also not reincarnate demigods either. It would be seen as an indirect insult towards the divine parent.

Unbeknownst to most, when the Titan Kronos tried to destroy Olympus in 2009 (A/N: This is taking place in 2017. And, the book, the Last Olympian, was published in 2009, when Percy Jackson in 16. Surprisingly, I also turned 16 that same year too) several Devils had assisted Kronos's army indirectly in his efforts. Such as supplying his armies with equipment. In return for this, the Devils would be given several Greek and Roman demigods, and perhaps even Olympian deities. For some reason, the goddess Hestia was highly sought after as well as, not surprisingly, Aphrodite. When the war ended in the Olympian's victory, the Devils had hoped to slip away unnoticed.

Unfortunately, they had not prepared for Chad Walker, the son of Chaos. The young man was an enigma, he was not affiliated with Olympus, but was loyal to his godmother, Hestia. He had gone behind the scenes, taking out key factors to Kronos's army, and it was there he learned about the Devils' involvement, and the 'rewards' they wanted. Naturally, Chad was not happy and he and several selected Demigods, went after the guilty party. Systematically, they hunted and eliminated each Devil, one by one, leaving their remains for the Demon Lords to find. They couldn't bring this issue to Olympus because that would mean they acknowledged that members of their own kind had a hand in the near destruction of the Greco-Roman pantheon, and because Chad was not really affiliated with the faction, Olympus could not be blamed. Thus, the charges had to be dropped, much to the chagrin of many Devil nobles.

"Let's just hope we can avoid any unnecessary conflicts until Chad finally leaves." Sirzechs said with a tired sigh.

"I'm more concerned about Lady Sona and Lady Rias." Added Grayfia.

"Oh, come on, Grayfia. I'm sure those two will be able to act responsible. Well, at least little Sona will. But I'm sure Rias will restrain herself, right?" Sirzechs said, finding it humorous that Grayfia would think his little sister would do something ridiculous. His wife just raised an eyebrow but said nothing else.

(Kuoh)

"Boom baby!" Shouted Chad as he fired his pistols at a Stray Devil with the form that was a cross between a man and a worm. The null bullets tore through the creature's flesh easily, causing it to scream in pain. The stray tried to lunge at Chad, but the demigod merely teleported from his spot on the floor and reappeared above it. Morphing his guns into katanas, Chad descended upon the stray with great speed. The monster had no time to react as its head was severed from its shoulders. Chad did a double flip in the air before landing gracefully.

It had been at least three weeks since Chad came to Kuoh. Since then, there has been at least ten monsters and Stray Devils that have come to the town, either because of the noble Devils, the Demigods or some other reason. Each intruder was dealt swiftly by Chad, before the Devil heiresses and their peerages could arrive, much to the son of Chaos's disappointment.

Speaking of which, the door to the old mansion was opened wide. Standing at the entrance was Rias and her peerage. "Okay everyone! Spread out…and…find the…"

Rias's sentence died in her throat when she saw Chad standing in front of the Stray Devil's corpse. The rest of the young Devils peeked inside to see what had made their King stopped speaking. Some of them showed surprise at the demigod's presence.

Chad just gave them all a blank stare as he put his guns back into their hoisters. "You know, I give your little entrance a 4 out of 10. But your timing is absolutely terrible. Should really work on that before some innocent actually gets killed." Chad stated before warping away.

"Damn, he sure made good work of the thing." Issei commented. Asia was hiding behind him, a bit disturbed by the headless corpse, and the large puddle of blood on the floor.

Kiba nodded. "Yes, clearly Walker-san is quite skilled if he's defeated so many stray Devils so quickly." The Knight added.

"Fast, very fast." Was all Koneko said.

Rias sighed. "Well…yes, it seems that Mr. Walker has taken care of another Stray. I suppose the rest of you can head home and get some sleep. I'll see you all tomorrow." The heiress said. Her voice sounded rather despondent and depressed, something only Akeno noticed.

As the others left after saying goodbye, only Rias and her Queen remained. Now it was just the two of them, Akeno was finally able to ask, "Rias, were you hoping that fighting the Stray would help get your mind off him?" She asked quietly, saying the last word with venom.

"I, yes, I was hoping." Rias replied after a moment of hesitation. "I am running out of time, Akeno. My parents informed me that the deadline has been pushed forward and there is simply no way I can face him at my current level."

A hand was put on Rias' shoulder, causing the redhead to look at her oldest friend. Akeno had a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Rias. Whatever may happen, we're with you. No matter what, you can count on me and the rest to fight for you."

Rias gave Akeno a small smile. "Akeno, thank you." But quickly, that smile disappeared. "However, there is little that can be done. True, Ise and Asia-chan are great boons to the peerage. But at their current level, I'm not sure how much of a difference we can make." The redhead then turned her eyes towards the spot Chad had stood a few minutes ago. "I'm running out of options…" She murmured as she summoned her familiar. Akeno could only watch in worry as the gears started to form in Rias' head.

(Two Days Later)

Preparations had finally finished. After several phone calls, both supernatural and not, followed by meetings, deals, and a whole bunch of other stuff, the Fuyokus were ready to move. Thanks to some work from Chad's side, Ms. Fuyoku had gotten a job as a teacher at the Kyoto City University of Arts, and Aika was accepted into one of the city's best high schools. Chad and Theo told them that they might run into Yokai, since Kyoto is heavily populated, but the two were assured that they wouldn't cause them any trouble.

"Well, I wish you safe travels to Kyoto." Chad said as he and Theo said their goodbyes to Aika and her mother. The four were currently at the train station. Behind the two females were several bags with their belongings. The rest of their possessions had been taken by a Youkai run business and would already be set up at their new house.

"I don't think I've ever been to Kyoto before." Ms. Fuyoku said. "Anything I should know?"

"Yeah, it can get very crowded sometimes." Chad replied. "But, I can assure you that you guys will love it there."

"Hope to see you at the camp sometime soon." Theo said as he said his goodbyes to Aika.

The demigoddess nodded. "Same, and thanks for everything, Theo-san." She said back.

A few minutes later, the Satyr and Demigod waved to them as the family boarded the train. They then watched it leave the station, leaving them mostly alone. Turning to his friend, Chad asked, "So, where are you going, now that your mission is done?"

"I need to head back to Camp and give my report to the council and Chiron." Theo replied.

"If you like I can warp you there. Save you the time." Chad offered.

Theo nodded. "Thanks. Honestly, I can't stand airplanes and airports. Too much metal and littering for my taste." The Satyr commented.

Getting a snort from Chad, the two warped away in seconds. They were unaware of the cartoonish bat that had been watching them for a while. Nor did they see the red magic circle forming on the back of Chad's jacket.

(Mill Rock)

Nighttime had fallen over the city of New York, including the small island that served as Chad's home. After three weeks of being away, Chad was glad to be back. Summoning a remote, Chad turned off the house's security before unlocking the front door, entering his home. The lights turned on, Chad went to take a shower, followed by a quick snake before heading for bed. But before he could even take off his shoes…

"Nya~!"

A sensual voice cried out and suddenly Chad was brought to the floor, a black mass on top of him. He couldn't even get a word out as something big and soft smothered his face.

"Nya~ where have you been, Chad-kun? I missed you." A female voice asked, practically purring.

As the feeling of soft breast was finally removed from his face, Chad got a better look at his 'attacker'. Said person was a beautiful and attractive young woman around his age, with a voluptuous figure, long black hair with split bangs, and hazel gold eyes with cat-like pupils. Her attire consists of a black kimono, a yellow obi, a set of golden beads, and an ornately detailed headband. The kimono features a red interior and it is open at her shoulders, giving view to her enormously large breasts. Most noticeably, she had a pair of black cat ears on her head, and two black tails sticking out from underneath her kimono.

Her name was Kuroka, a Nekoshou as well as SS Stray Class Devil. Chad ran into her when he was hunting for the Devils that supplied Kronos's army. She was being pinned down by several middle-class and two high-class Devils. Quickly, Chad made short work of the Devils before tending to the Yokai. After assuring her that the demigod meant no harm, Kuroka explained her story. She had been reincarnated by a Devil because of her skills with Senjutsu. However, the same Devil also wanted to experiment on her younger sister, Shirone, who could also tap into Senjutsu. Not wanting her only family to suffer such a fate, Kuroka murdered her master and fled, forced to abandoned Shirone. The cover story was that the buxom Neko had gone drunk on power and killed her King because of it.

Chad could tell that she was telling the truth, and so offered to bring Kuroka to Kyoto to give her sanctuary. Coming with her were the other surviving Nekoshous that Chad and his friends also saved from Devils' death squads. Despite her new living conditions, Kuroka chose to hang out at Chad's place every now and then. She would always flirt with the son of Chaos, trying to seduce him. However, Chad would always ignore them, not that he didn't mind though. The two had grown close, becoming something like unofficial lovers in a way.

"Hey Kuroka" Chad said as he got up. He had gotten used to Kuroka's visits, and her affectionate ways of greeting him. "How's it going back in Kyoto?"

"It's okay nya~ Just really boring because nothing fun is happening." Kuroka said as she flopped on the sofa. She did so in a fashion that it caused her clothes to become even looser, deliberately showing off her assets. "I heard you went to Devil territory nya."

"Yeah, Apollo needed me to make sure one of his kids didn't get turned into a Devil." Chad replied as he took off his coat and shoes, leaving him in his short-sleeve black shirt and black jeans. The shirt did well to show his figure, something that Kuroka took pleasure in seeing. "It was kind of annoying when dealing with the Devils, but everything else was okay."

Kuroka hummed before something caught her eye. She frowned. "You do know there is a tracking spell on you, right nya?"

Chad blinked. "Wait, what?" He asked as he looked at his back. Sure enough, there was a small magical circle on the back of the right side of his shoulder. Before it faded Chad could make out the emblem of the Gremory Pillar. "Got to be shitting me…"

At that moment a red glow appeared on the floor not too far away from them. Sensing Devil energy, Kuroka immediately turned into her cat form and hid underneath the sofa. Chad had an annoyed expression on his face as the glow died down and revealed none other than Rias Gremory.

"You better have a good reason for this. I don't like when people place trackers on me…or teleporting into my house without permission." Chad said sternly.

"There's a favor I need to ask of you." Rias said, urgency in her voice. When Chad made no comment, she continued. "I need you to take my virginity."

A few seconds later, the front door was slammed open. It was followed by Chad kicking Rias out, making the redhead crash onto the ground on her rear. "And if I see you one more time before the sun comes up, I'll waste ya!" Chad declared to the stun Gremory, followed by closing the door shut.

With a huff, Chad walked back into the living room where a laughing Kuroka, now back in her nekoshou form, could be found. "Nyahahahaha! You sure showed her, Chad-kun!" The black haired Yokai said through her laughter.

"What can I say? I hate people like that." Chad replied. A frown was still on his face. "Great, now my mood is ruined." He muttered under his breath.

A sly grin formed on Kuroka's mouth at hearing that. "I think I know what might cheer you up." She suggested seductively. She lowered her kimono a little to show more of her breast, even a bit of pink could be seen.

Chad just stared at Kuroka's face, then her breast, back to her face, breast again and face once more. The son of Chaos sighed. "Fine, we'll do it tonight. Just let me whip something up to eat and take a shower." Chad answered as he made his way to the kitchen. "Do you want anything by the way? I'm not good a cook as Thea, but I can make pretty good food."

"Nya~!" Kuroka cheered, though whether it was the chance to have sex or food was unsure. She quickly followed Chad. However, as they made their way, the two sensed another presence outside, a strong one too. But neither of them seemed to mind as they continued with their business.

Outside Chad's house, Grayfia was now present alongside Rias. Currently, she was scolding her sister-in-law for her foolish action. "It's one thing to try and do it with, say, one of your servants, but with him of all people? You're lucky he didn't kill you outright, Rias." Grayfia said sternly. The fact she wasn't using any honorifics such as 'Lady' was a sign of how upset the maid was.

"I'm sorry for what I did, but I am not sorry for why I did it, Grayfia." Rias replied. "Besides, I don't see why you're so worked up about. He's just a demigod, I've ran into his kind enough to know about them."

"Believe me, Lady Rias, Chad Walker is no ordinary demigod." Grayfia stated. Rias raised an eyebrow, wondering what she meant. However, Grayfia made no effort to go into further detail. "Anyway, your presence is requested by your parents. Come." The older woman said before the two of them vanished into a red light.

(Mills Rock, the Next Morning)

Morning had come to Manhattan as the sun rose above the city. On Mills Rock, the sunlight seeped through the windows, including the one connected to Chad's bedroom. Groaning, the son of Chaos rose out of bed, naked as the day he was born. The bed's sheets were in shambles from last night's 'fun' between Chad and Kuroka.

Speaking of said black cat, she was currently gone, along with her clothes and sandals. And Chad would know if she were somewhere else in the house. Chad assumed she had gone off to her day job that she had to work at least once a week. A restaurant owned by a friend of his. It was one of the conditions Kuroka had to do in order to gain protection from possible Devil death squads. And considering the restaurant, there was less of a chance of her getting killed.

Anyway, Chad got up and dressed, wearing a pair of sweatpants, short-sleeve shirt and sandals. He made his way to the kitchen where he made himself some breakfast. Said breakfast took the form of coca-puffs, a few waffles and apple juice. Chad also poured syrup on the waffles too before eating it all with great gusto. Chad always got hungry whenever he woke up. He possessed an accelerated metabolism, so he would need several plates and bowls of food before being satisfied.

He had just finished his fifth plate of waffles when his phone started to ring. Ever since the end of the second Giant War, efforts in ensuring that demigods could use cellphones without attracting monsters were put in. Hephaestus, Hermes, and Iris were able to finally create a new brand of cellphones. The payment was still the same, as it would go to Iris, kind of like paying for cellphone services. Anyway, when Chad looked at the caller ID, he saw it was none other than Thea.

Thea Nova Amber was a demigod, a daughter of Hestia to be precise. However, like children of Athena, she was not conceived in the normal sense of the word. Thea was born from the ashes of Hestia's hearth, infused with the love the goddess had for Thea's father, who sadly passed away due to cancer some time ago. Due to the situation of her birth, the daughter of Hestia earned the nickname "Phoenix Princess".

Naturally her appearance caused a lot of people talking. Her siblings, the eldest Olympians, were honestly surprised Hestia would ever have a child. The Goddess of the Hearth also wasn't expecting it to happen, but it already was done. The first few years Hestia raised Thea on her own before sending her to camp, so she could socialize better with others. And as Hestia was Chad's guardian, he and Thea spent a lot of time together, forming a sibling bond.

Like all Demigods, Thea had inherited much of her mother's abilities, such as fire manipulation for example. Thea could even use her flames to heal others, though they were not as powerful as the medical skills of healing Deities' children. Along with that, Thea also got Hestia's cooking skills, something many people commented on. Eventually, Thea opened a restaurant known as 'The Comforting Hearth' which served dishes and drinks of the many cultures in the world. It quickly became famous as customers from various races and factions came to enjoy the delicious food cooked there. It is the same place where Kuroka works at.

Picking up the phone, Chad pressed the talk button before putting it to his ear. "Hello?" He asked casually.

"Chad. It's me, Thea. I need a favor from you." She said.

"What is it?" Chad asked.

"I got an order of servings to be delivered for an upcoming Devil engagement ceremony. I've been trying to contact them to get confirmation for the orders, but they aren't responding." Thea sounded annoyed. She never did like it when people were unresponsive about their orders. "I think a member of the family lives in Japan. If you could get them to confirm the order, I'd appreciate it."

Grunting, Chad relented. He could never really say no to Thea, even if it did bother him. "Fine. Text me the address and I'll warp right over there." Chad replied.

A few seconds later, the address appeared on his phone. When he looked at it, Chad cursed. "Oh, you got to be shitting me!"

The address on the phone was none other than Kuoh Town. And the person Thea wanted Chad to speak with was Rias Gremory.

(Kuoh Academy)

A few hours later, Chad reappeared at Kuoh Academy. It was the evening and classes had already ended by then so there were no students present. That meant less of a chance of him getting attention. He began making his way to the old school club building where the ORC meet. Chad still found this whole thing annoying, but he promised Thea he would do it and so he had no choice.

Without a care in the world, Chad entered the building. Once he found the room where Gremory was, the son of Chaos kicked the door open without even knocking. Inside he was met with the surprise faces of Rias and her group. With them were Grayfia and another group full of girls. At the front of said group was a young man in his early twenties with short blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He wore what consisted of a burgundy blazer with gold embroidery on the right with matching pants and black dress shoes. Underneath his open blazer was a white dress shirt that was unbuttoned save for one button, giving a slight view to his chest. Chad noted that he had an arrogant look on his face.

Noticing Rias's and Grayfia's concern looks, Chad gave a wave. "Greetings everyone. I have good news that I am not here to kill Rias Gremory after what happened last night." He said. His words made everyone except said redhead and the maid confused, though the they did appear relieved. "However, I am here to give her this." Chad added as he threw a book at the Gremory heiress. Rias just nearly caught it from hitting her face. She looked down at it and was surprised at the title.

"'100 ways to learn manners'?" Rias repeated confused.

"Hey, after what you pulled last night, coming into my house uninvited and telling me to pop your cherry, that book will be useful." Chad responded nonchalantly. This earned surprised gasps from everyone, though Issei was glaring at Chad with envy. "Anyway, that an't why I'm here. Though seeing that Lucifuge is there, it makes my job easier."

"Wait a minute!" The blonde man yelled, getting everyone's attention. He glared at Chad. "Rias who is this peon and what does he mean by popping your cherry?!" He demanded.

"Be quiet, Lord Riser." Grayfia ordered sternly. Her tone made the now named Riser shut his mouth, though his glare did not leave. The gray-haired maid looked back at Chad. "Sir Walker, what is it that you wished to discuss about?"

"This" Chad said, holding up a receipt. "Thea Amber Nova, a good friend of mine said that your family as well as a family called the Phenex, had ordered food from her restaurant for an engagement ceremony buffet. She told me that she never got a confirmation on the order or payment." He explained as he handed the paper to Grayfia for her to look it over. "She's someone close to me and I am not particular fond when her efforts go to waste or not appreciated it." Chad added the last part in a threatening tone, letting some of his aura out. It caused a good number of the occupants in the room to shudder.

Grayfia managed to keep her stern feature, but on the inside, she was worrying. Chad Walker wasn't listed on the 'Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World' for nothing. His powers of the Void were well feared by many, including Gods, his mastery over it more. It was far greater than her husband's Power of Destruction, for where it could do destroy nearly anything it hit, the power of nothingness could erase anything, no matter the target's durability or defenses. There was Chad's other skills and abilities to worry about as well, including the inherit fighting instincts all Demigods had. While Grayfia was confident in her abilities, she did not deceive herself into believing she could contend with Chad if he was angry.

Unfortunately, the situation got worse when Riser spoke again. "You damn human, this is an important meeting between the House of Phenex and the House of Gremory! You have no right to interrupt your betters. And that bitch of a friend of yours should be honored to have made food for an important occasion, whether or not she got paid."

While the Devils of Rias's peerage were glaring at Riser for his rude comments, Grayfia casted a wary eye towards Chad. She knew that Chad cared deeply for those close to him and there was no telling how he would react to that. The demigod however had a blank look on his face, which for some reason made him even more intimidating.

Wanting to prevent any possible conflicts. "Lord Riser. May I remind you that you are currently in Gremory territory. You should show a bit of mannerism towards the others here. Such rudeness that you give now would not reflect well on the Phenex family." Grayfia tried to say before Chad interrupted her.

The son of Chaos looked directly at Riser. "It seems like the 'noble' is unable to do such a thing." Chad insulted. "You be a bit more grateful that my friend, the 'bitch' was kind enough to cook so many dishes for your engagement. I suggest you apologize." Chad demanded.

The way that this person was talking to him infuriated Riser. Chad spoke in a bored tone with no respect whatsoever towards the third son of the Phenex pillar greatly damaged the Devil's ego. Flames began to dance around his fingertips as his demonic aura slowly leaked out. The increase in heat caused everyone besides Grayfia and Chad to sweat a little.

Raising a hand, a large fireball was conjured above the palm. "Insolent little-"

Riser's sentence was cut off when Chad delivered a powerful punch to the Phenex member's stomach. Infused with null energy, combined with his superhuman strength, the son of Chaos sent Riser flying through the wall and crashing into the next room. The man twitched for a few seconds before losing conscious.

Silence reigned in. The peerage of Riser looked conflicted between attacking Chad for striking their King or run to the Phenex's aid. The Gremory group was shocked at seeing the demigod taking down a high-class Devil with a single blow. Grayfia wasn't all the surprised. However, she was worried how the Phenex Clan would react to this. And the perpetrator still had the same bored look on his face before looking back at Grayfia. "So, about the money…"

(Sometime Later, at the "Comforting Hearth")

"And the maid took the idiot back to the Underworld, along with his peerage before they could do something stupid. I left after that and a few hours later the maid came back with the check, which I gave to Thea." Chad said as he took a drink of his coke.

Currently Chad Walker was sitting in one of the tables at Thea's diner. It was near closing time so not many people were about. The only exceptions being the automatons who served as waiters and waitresses. Sitting across from Chad was a male in his early thirties. He had buzzcut brownish hair, with light tanned skin and brown eyes. He was taller than Chad where the son of Chaos only reached the man's shoulders. He was wearing a sage green sleeveless shirt and black jeans with brown boots. It was clear that he was muscular but not overly so. He had a scar over his left eye, as well as a smaller one over his lip.

His name was Ezekiel Riddick, or Zeke for short. Despite his appearance, Zeke was over a hundred years old. Originally, he served as captain of the Union army and fought in the Civil War. Having fought faithfully in several battles, Zeke deserted when he killed his commanding officer after the man ordered the death of a Native American tribe, including the women and children. For underneath his rough exterior, womanizing, boisterous and trigger-happy attitude, Zeke was a man of principles, one of which was not killing the defenseless and innocent.

After killing his commander, Zeke spent the next three years traveling the US, acting as a bounty hunter. He was eventually hunted down by his former comrades. During the ensuing gunfight, Zeke was fatally wounded. As he laid dying, however, he was visited by the goddess Hera.

Hera had been watching Zeke for a while since he deserted the army. She had taken an interest in the mortal due to his strong morals. And though Zeke flirted with many women, he never formed real attachments for them, nor slept with them as he did not want to break his loyalty and love to his late wife. Such commitment to the deceased was enough to earn Hera's respect and the goddess gave Zeke immortality. The only catch was that he can never truly fall in love again and never remarry.

With a new, unfettered body, Zeke began traveling the world, seeing new things and occasionally helping those in need. Having already been Clear Sight before his transformation, Zeke would sometimes fight against monsters of the supernatural. He never went to Camp Half-Blood, preferring to travel rather than stay cooped up in one place.

A few years ago, Zeke met Chad and the two became fast friends, with the former becoming something of a mentor/father figure. Together, they went on many adventures and shared a close bond due to their unique beings. Secretly, Zeke also had Chad promised to kill him if he ever went astray or if someone tried to use his immortal invulnerable body against humanity. It was a difficult request for Chad, but he grimly accepted, another show of trust between the two.

"Well, I'm glad that things turned out okay." Zeke commented as he took a chug of beer. In front of the two were several half-empty plates and bowels. The two had really dug into Thea's cooking, seeing how good it was. "Course, those Devils are gonna give you a hard time for what you did to the little bastard."

"Ah fuck em" Chad merely said, taking a drink of coke. He was never a fan of alcohol and rarely drank it. "Like I care what those bats thought…man I'm sounding like Hades."

Zeke laughed at that and the two enjoyed the rest of their meal in comfortable silence. The silence was broken when the door opened, the bell jingling catching their ears. It was followed by Thea's voice. "Welcome to-Chad it's for you." She said.

Turning around, Chad frowned when he watched Sirzechs and Grayfia enter the restaurant. The maid casted weary eyes on the demigod while Sirzechs tried to look cheerful. Chad groaned as he took another chug of his coke. "The Hades do you want, Red?" Chad asked as the couple approached their table.

"Ah, I was wondering if we could sit here?" Sirzechs asked politely.

Chad and Zeke's exchanged looks before making room. "Fine, but you'll have to order something. That's Thea's rule." Chad said as Zeke moved over to sit beside him. Sirzechs and Grayfia sat across from them.

Thea came by a few minutes later with some tea for the Devils. After taking a sip Sirzechs spoke. "My wife told me that you had an 'interesting' meeting with my sister's fiancé." The Red Satan said.

"Fiancé? Ah you mean that blonde idiot." Chad replied with a bored tone. "What about it?"

Sirzechs paused, wondering how he should word this. "Well, when his peerage returned to the Underworld, word got out about your involvement. And well, a lot of upper-class Devils aren't happy."

Chad raised an eyebrow. "You speak as if I should care. I didn't care when my friends and I killed those who helped the Titans, and I don't care now. Unless you have a reason why I should help train your sister's peerage, then this conversation is over."

Chad's words made Grayfia and Sirzechs look surprise. "How did you…" Sirzechs tried to ask but it was cut off.

"It's kind of obvious. Those lot have little actual combat skills. Especially that brown haired kid with the red arm, who thinks more with his dick rather than his head." Chad said. "Their chances of winning against an actual force of skilled fighters is about twenty percent. So, when you heard what I did, you hope you could use the fact that the Devil nobles were pissed off at me to coerce me to train those students, am I right?"

Zeke snorted when he saw the shocked expression on Sirzechs's face. The Devil looked like someone slapped him the face twice on both sides. Chad finished off his drink before getting up along with Zeke. The demigod put his money on the table. Before he left, Chad said to Sirzechs, "I'll admit that your sister's situation is something I don't like."

That made Sirzechs perk up. "Then-" He was cut off as Chad continued.

"However, I don't like it when people try to use me. It pisses me off. Furthermore, if I were to help your sister, a devil, imagine how that would look to the other pantheons?" Chad asked seriously.

Even though Chad was not affiliated with Olympus officially, he was still considered a Greek Demigod because of his father. And despite not being as active as other of the top 10, Chad was recognized for his power of the void, which could kill any being, including gods. Along with the rumor of him being Yaldabaoth, the entity formed from the essence of Chaos and the Biblical God, made Chad an even bigger danger to anyone that became his enemy. If the other factions were to learn that he helped the young sister of one of the Demon Lords, it might make them think that Olympus was aligning itself with the Devils. That could cause conflicts to build up between the pantheons and could lead up to a war.

"Looks like you figured it out, Mr. Lucifer." Chad said. "So, if you're done, I'd like to enjoy the rest of my drink now."

Sirzechs frowned. He had wanted to say something, but Chad's words left no room for argument. And he knew that the demigod was right. With a heavy sigh, the Satan and his wife got up and left, not before paying for the tea.

A few minutes later, Chad and Zeke had finished their drinks when the former's cell went off. Picking it up, the caller's name was 'Joseph Jerome' the demigod son of Heimdall. Responding, Chad asked, "Joseph. What's up?"

"Not much good, Chad! A whole army of orcs, trolls and a few dozen of Draugrs just showed up at the border of Asgard!" Joseph's voice yelled.

Chad frowned. "I'm guessing this isn't something the Einherjar and Valkyries can handle?" The Son of Chaos asked.

Joseph grunted on the other end. "If it were just them, then it would be no problem! The problem is, three Reavers just showed up to reinforce them!"

The name made Chad's facial expression turn dark. It was one of the few things that Chad hated, especially who they were related to. Turning back, he saw that Zeke and Thea also heard too. They had serious looks in their eyes and gave a silent nod. "Hang in there, Joseph. I'll be there soon, with Thea and Zeke behind me." Chad said before hanging up.

I decided to merge the two chapters, because they look better that way.
