Even though I had been quite polite, I was rudely thrown into the room by the maid. When I landed on the floor, I just laid there staring at the ceiling. It was peaceful, really. 'We don't really take the time to just not think. Our lives are full of stress. We keep moving on and on so much that we don't even notice when time passes. We don't notice the beauty of life and what it has to offer. ' my life lesson was rudely interrupted by someone saying something.

" What is a human doing here?" a feminine voice said. Are all devils this rude? I got up and dusted myself. I took a look at the room and noticed how all eyes were on me. I saw a buxom redhead I immediately identified as Rias sitting on a lavish couch. Her peerage was behind her all curiously looking at me.

I saw a blonde guy I thought to be Riser and his peerage standing neatly behind him.' I thought Issei was the reason Riser summoned his peerage so why were they here? ' I wondered. I finally saw the maid who through me in standing by the door as though to block me from the exit. " That's the guy I was talking about." Koneko said. " Yep, that's me. I hope Koneko has been telling you good things about me." I said with a grin while walking with my hands behind my head to sit on the couch Rias was sitting on.

"Now, what was the problem here?" I asked completely ignoring everyone's stares." Rias, why have you brought a sick dog into my presence?" said the person I thought was Riser. " Now now. There's no need for name-calling. I just came for a meeting with your fiancee over here." I said while pointing at Rias. " With me?" Rias asked in confusion.

" Yep. I heard you had a chicken problem so I came to handle it." I said with a taunting grin. " How dare you speak to Riser in such a fashion!" Riser shouted. " Anyway, Miss maid. My client over here has fewer peerage members than fuckboy over there so she should not only be able to hire mercenaries but should be given time to train. Let's say a week if not two." I declared.

The room was silent as everyone processed what I said. I needed one more thing to seal the deal. " Don't you agree Rias?" I said while looking at her. " Uh, um. Yes, that's correct." Rias flusteredly agreed. I then looked at the maid I finally remembered to be Grayfia. I remembered she was powerful and important but I forgot her name. Man, I'm bad at names.

Grayfia looked at me then Rias before finally speaking. " These terms are acceptable. The rating game shall be in two weeks." Grayfia stated. Riser then said something but I tuned him out. Soon he along with his peerage and Grayfia left.

Once they left, I instantly put my feet up on top of Rias's thighs. " That went well. " I said while relaxing. " Can I ask who you are and what you are doing?" Rias questioned. " I'm your saviour of course and I'm relaxing. You know I didn't have to help you during the meeting but I did so this is the least you could allow me to do." I said with a smirk. " Ara ara. You are quite the naughty boy. Not only were you eavesdropping on our meeting but you are also taking advantage of our club president." the black-haired girl I remembered to be Akeno seductively said.

" Oooh. If you have a problem, why don't you come here and do something about it." I retorted in the same tone." Maybe I should. Though, I must warn that my methods of dealing with bad boys are unorthodox." Akeno replied before licking her lips." I'm up for something new but don't expect me to behave." I advised. Our flirting session was interrupted by Koneko saying perverts while looking at Akeno and me, but it was obvious that neither of us minded. If anything, we were amused by her reaction. I grinned at the petite girl who only stared back with no reaction. I turned my gaze toward Rias before speaking. " Anyway. As I mentioned before. I'm here to offer help of course for a price." I said while keeping my grin.

" Not to judge but what exactly can you do." a blonde-haired pretty boy said. " That doesn't matter. What matters is whether or not you king accepts my deal." I stated. " What are the terms of this deal?" Rias asked.

" Firstly, I would like access to the familiar forest. Secondly, a meeting with Yasaka. Thirdly, ten million dollars along with a one percent share of the Gremory's earnings in future. Fourthly, I want to be able to take one thing from the Gremory treasury. Finally, I would like the Gremorys backing in my future endeavours." I listed out.

Rias's eyes widened at my request. Judging by her reaction, it seemed I had to play on her fears. " It's up to you whether or not you accept but let me inform you that you will be marrying a fuckboy who would do Satan knows what to your peerage in the future. You would also have to continuously sleep with the guy, which I should mention would be constantly cheating on you thus ruining your image, every day to produce an heir. That's only the tip of the iceberg. Shall I continue?" I expressed." Plus, I can back my words." I said before summoning my sacred gear.

Everyone in the room's eyes widened at the revelation. " I-I-Is that the boosted gear!" Rias gasped out. " It is." I said with a smirk. I changed it a bit. I asked Ddraig if he could customize it which he said he could. So I told him to make it slimmer as it was a bit too bulky for my liking. It looked less like an oversized glove and more like perfectly fitting scales. It also went all the way up my arm to my armpit as extra protection.

I could see Rias's face go through a myriad of expressions until she finally settled on determined. " I accept." the redhead resolutely said. " Are you sure about this Bakou? We don't even know how strong he is. " the pretty boy asked worriedly. " What he said is right and I would rather die than go through that. To let you all go through that. If there's even a sliver of hope for me to break this marriage then I'll take it, consequences be damned." Rias boldly stated.

" Plus, I am willing to display some of my power." I added before standing and releasing my aura. It was only at mid class devil territory but the draconic essence made it a lot more potent. This could be seen by how everyone in the room reacted. Koneko seemed to be on edge with her hair standing high like a scared cat. Kiba was barely able to stand. He had to use the couch as aid to do so. Rias and Akeno seemed ready to fight but were slightly shaking. " I think I made my point." Everyone nodded and I brought my aura back in.

" Well, let's make it official." I said. Rias nodded and got a piece of paper with a pen for me. I wrote down the details for us. It basically said that in return for Jason Doom helping Rias Gremory in a fight against Riser Phenex, Rias Gremory shall provide everything I stated. The only modification to my requests was the support in future endeavours. It changed to Rias shall support my future endeavours when I so request. This was because Rias couldn't guarantee that all the Gremorys could or would help me.

We also had to state punishments just in case one side broke the contract. My punishment was becoming a slave to Rias and vice versa for Rias as well. With us signing the contract along with injecting our magic through the contract, breaking the contract was a none negotiable for either of us as the contract would enact the punishment we set if either of us didn't follow through.

" Okay. Let's start with the familiars." I said. " Well, actually. We can only go there next month. Since Sona booked this month." Rias mumbled. " You mean this school's student council president," I said feigning ignorance. Rias only nodded. " Well, I'm sure we can negotiate for the spot." I confidently declared.

Rias asked the blonde guy whose name was Kiba to get Sona. When Sona arrived, evident shock was on her face at seeing me. " Jason?" the prez said. " So that's your name." Rias commented. " I thought you left the school. What are you doing here?" Sona asked. "Nothing much, just saving the day." I said. Sona just looked at Rias for an explanation.

10 minutes later...

" I still cannot believe you're the red dragon emperor." Sona commented. " I can't believe I missed the chance to recruit you." Rias exclaimed while slumping in her seat." Or did I? " Rias said while looking at me with hope." Never. No matter what you say. " I said with finality. " Now, let's get to the reason why we called you." I spoke out before Rias could respond. " Ah, yes. The familiar forest. Well, I shall need adequate compensation to give that spot to you." Sona said.

" And what would be adequate." Rias asked. " I would like six favours from you." Sona said while looking at Rias."3" Rias countered. "5" "4" " Deal." they finally agreed.

" As much as I enjoyed this, I will have to get going. I left my number on the desk so use that to contact me" I sounded off before I walked out. I had to enact some plans before I fought Riser. Things were looking up.
