Gu Bo nodded and continued:

"The battle between Sirzechs and I not only affected our Diablo family, but also other areas of the underworld."

"So now is the time when those neutral forces need help."

"After this battle."

"We can take this opportunity to lend a helping hand to those neutral forces."

"Those families that were originally in a neutral position will definitely re-evaluate our strength."

"It gives us an opportunity to engage with them anyway."

"The master of the family is wise!"

After hearing this, the old ministers suddenly understood and showed excitement on their faces.

Everyone agreed.

As Guber said.

Now is a great time for the Diablo family to expand!

If we can take this opportunity to strengthen the Diablo family.

For the Diablo family, this is absolutely beneficial and has no disadvantages.

[096] Rias’s little thoughts in the evening, combat maid.

"The Patriarch has great foresight, and we admire him!"

"This plan is brilliant! It can not only enhance our clan's strength, but also establish our prestige. Kill two birds with one stone!"

"With the master's strategic planning, the rise of our Diablo family is just around the corner!"

For a time, the conference hall was filled with endless praises, and the old ministers all cast admiring glances at Gu Bo.

Gu Bo nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Gurefia: "Gurefia, this matter will also be under your full management."

"Remember to have your subordinates show their full presence, but also be careful not to force them."

"Yes, sir, I understand." Gurefia bowed in response.

"Ah."

Gu Bo nodded, then changed the subject, "Also, we must not slack off in the training of the Dark Palace Knights."

"You must also supervise Esdeath and Tendo Kimura and train an elite team as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir, I will certainly urge them."

……

Hours slipped by.

As night fell, the Diablo family's castle was shrouded in silence.

In the evening, after a busy day, Gu Bo returned to his study alone.

In the spacious study, rows of tall mahogany bookshelves stand quietly, filled with various ancient books, exuding a faint scent of ink.

Uncle Gu was flipping through an ancient book.

——This is a book passed down through the generations of the Diablo family, recording the family's history, secret techniques, and the experiences of generations of ancestors.

"Squeak-"

Suddenly, the study door was gently pushed open.

A maid came in with a cup of steaming tea.

She was wearing the Diablo family's unique maid outfit, and the black and white skirt swayed gently with her steps.

After a maid brought tea and left.

As Uncle Gu continued to look through the ancient books in the study.

It didn't take long.

Another "squeak" sound was heard.

The door of the study was gently pushed open.

Gu Bo looked up.

I saw Leah's figure appear at the door, holding a candle in her hand. The candlelight illuminated her delicate face, making her look particularly gentle.

He walked in holding a candle and saw Uncle Gu sitting in the study.

Rias was very surprised. She didn't expect that Uncle Gu would still be in the study so late.

"It's so late, and you're still reading here." Rias walked into the study, her long, soft crimson hair falling on her shoulders, with a strand of hair gently swaying by her cheek, adding to her charm.

In the candlelight, her face was faintly flushed, and her green eyes were shining with surprise.

"Oh? It's Ms. Rias."

Hearing the voice, Gu Bo raised his head. When he saw Rias, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a gentle smile.

He closed the book in his hands, placed it gently on the table, and looked at Rias.

"It's so late, what's going on?"

Gu Bo asked softly.

"I...I have some insomnia, so I wanted to find a book to read. Did I disturb you?"

Rias said a little embarrassedly.

"As for disturbing you, there is definitely no such thing."

Gu Bo said softly, "Come in, Miss Rias."

now.

Rias stood at the door of the study, the candlelight illuminating her delicate face. Her long crimson hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, gleaming with a charming luster under the candlelight.

She was wearing a loose nightgown with a slightly open neckline, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone, which looked even whiter and more delicate in the candlelight.

The hem of her nightgown swayed gently as she walked, revealing a pair of long and well-proportioned legs.

In the evening, her red hair was not tied up and hung down in layers from the silky waves. Her delicate facial features appeared particularly soft under the candlelight, as if shrouded in a faint halo, making people want to get closer.

"Yes, Master Gu."

Rias slowly walked into the study.

"Don't be so reserved, Miss Rias."

Gubo smiled slightly, trying to ease Rias's nerves.

"I'm very happy to see you at this time."

Hearing Gu Bo's praise, Rias's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked a little shy.

She lowered her head, her hands subconsciously twisting the ribbon of her nightgown, seeming a little at a loss.

"Thank you... Lord Gu Bo..." she said in a very low voice, almost inaudible.

The flickering candlelight stretched the two figures very long, intertwining them on the wall, as if telling something.

For a moment, the study was silent and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Gu Bo was the first to break the silence.

"What kind of books would you like to read, Ms. Rias? I might be able to recommend a few for you."

"Ah... I'm not really sure..."

Rias came back to her senses and said in a panic, "I just wanted to take a look..."

"Oh, I see..." Gu Bo nodded in understanding, then stood up and walked to the bookshelf and began to select carefully.

His fingers ran across the spines of the books, as if he was looking for something.

"What about this one?"

Looking at Gu Bo's careful selection under the candlelight, Rias's nervousness gradually dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable sense of security.

Soon, Gu Bo pulled out an ancient book that looked quite old and handed it to Rias:

"How's this book?"

"It's the Diablo family's research on the bloodline power of other families."

"Among them is research on the blood power of the Baal family and Gremory."

"I thought you might be interested."

"Thank you, Master Gu Bo!"

Rias took the ancient book with both hands, and her fingertips accidentally touched Gu Bo's fingers.

A strange feeling instantly spread throughout her body, causing Rias' heart to tremble, and she quickly took the book.

Rias didn't know if it was because of nervousness or something else, but she felt her heartbeat quicken.

"Well, okay, I won't bother you anymore, Master Gu Bo, and go to bed early."

In order to calm this strange feeling, Rias quickly hugged the book and left the study.

……

but.

Just as Rias reached the corner of the corridor, she suddenly stopped.

She noticed two figures sneaking towards Gu Bo's study.

Is it Shirone and Kuroka from the Diablo family?

What do they want to do?

Rias was filled with doubts. She subconsciously hid behind the corner and secretly observed them.

Baiyin and Heige, like two nimble kittens, approached the study door, one on the left and one on the right.

Heige listened attentively for a while, then turned and gestured towards Baiyin.

Seeing this, Baiyin nodded seriously.

Then, after confirming each other's presence, they simultaneously reached out their hands and gently pushed open the study door...

……

Rias knew that she shouldn't pry into other people's privacy.

But she was really curious.

She really wanted to know what Baiyin and Heige were doing sneaking into Gu Bo's study so late at night.

Thinking of this, Rias bit her lower lip, but still couldn't help herself and gently took a few steps towards the study.

……

……

at the same time.

In the study room.

Gu Bo was sitting at the desk, reading a book quietly.

Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps made him look up.

Baiyin and Heige walked into the study one after another.

"Master, you haven't rested yet?"

Heige was the first to speak, her voice as sweet as honey.

She walked to Gu Bo, took his arm affectionately, and pressed her petite body against him. The soft touch through the clothes made her heart flutter.

Baiyin stood obediently behind Gubo, stretched out her fair little hands, and gently massaged his shoulders with soft and skillful movements.

"You two, it's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
