If he could use the power of the Gremory family for his own benefit, his position in the underworld would be more secure and his future path would be broader.

Just as Gu Bo was thinking.

There was a sudden knock on the study door.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Come in." Gu Bo said without looking up.

"Squeak-"

The door was gently pushed open and a charming figure walked in.

"Master, are you busy?"

The person who came was Hei Ge.

She looked around curiously, her golden cat eyes full of curiosity.

"It's you, Kuroka."

Bai looked up at Heige, a smile on his face: "What's the matter?"

"Hey, can't you come to see the master if you have nothing to do?"

Heige stuck out her tongue and said playfully.

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

"of course not."

Gu Bo smiled and reached out to rub Heige's head: "Just, is there any special reason why you suddenly came here like this?"

"Well...actually, I want to ask you about career advancement."

Heige raised his head, blinked his big watery eyes, and looked at Gu Bo with anticipation.

"Oh? You want to know this?" Gu Bo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yeah," Heige nodded, "Just now at the training grounds, I heard the conversation between Master and Lady Gurefia. They seemed so impressive! I want to get stronger too!"

Speaking of this, there was a hint of yearning in Heige's tone.

"You..."

"What a greedy cat." Gu Bo reached out and pinched Heige's face.

"Hey, Master is the best!"

Heige was not angry when his cheek was pinched. Instead, he rubbed Gu Bo's arm more affectionately and said, "Master, can you help me?"

"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you."

Gu Bo smiled and began to make arrangements.

When Heige saw this, his golden cat eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

He asked a few questions from time to time, and Gu Bo patiently answered them one by one.

……

Time passed minute by minute, and the sound of two people talking could be heard from time to time in the study.

……

“…I see! I understand!”

"Thank you, sir!"

Heige nodded in sudden realization.

"By the way... Master, what book were you reading just now? Why were you so engrossed?"

Heige blinked, cast his gaze towards the table in front of Gu Bo, and asked curiously.

"Oh, this..."

Gu Bo smiled, picked up the ancient book on the table and handed it to Hei Ge.

"This is a tome passed down through the generations of the Diablo family. It records the Diablo family's secret techniques over the past period of time, as well as the experiences and insights of generations of ancestors."

"You and Bai Yin can also take a look at it, it should be helpful to you."

"Really? Thank you, sir!"

Heige was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly took the ancient book with both hands.

When she saw the large, ancient characters on the cover, she was slightly startled.

"The Diablo Family Secret Codex..."

"All the secrets contained in this are related to the Diablo family. Master, are you willing to let me read them?"

Heige whispered the title of the book, a hint of doubt in his tone.

"What's there to worry about?"

Gu Bo smiled indifferently.

"You are my dependent."

"Can't I trust you?"

Followed by.

Gu Bo said in a very frivolous tone: "Or do you feel...that your trust is not enough?"

"No... no, sir, I..."

When Heige heard what Gu Bo said, he suddenly panicked.

She quickly shook her head, her golden cat eyes filled with anxiety.

"I will never betray the master!"

"Haha, of course I believe you."

Looking at Heige's nervous look, Gu Bo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He reached out and gently rubbed Heige's head.

"Okay, don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you."

"Master, you really scared me..."

Heige breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

She patted her chest, looking frightened.

"Don't worry, Master. I will take good care of it!"

Heige nodded vigorously and held the ancient book tightly in his arms, as if he was holding some rare treasure.

"That's good." Gu Bo nodded with satisfaction.

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."

"Yes, sir."

Heige responded obediently.

……

……

The night gradually deepens.

The Diablo family's castle was still brightly lit.

Everyone has different thoughts in their hearts, which they savor alone in this quiet night.

……

A few more hours passed.

Gu Bo finished the work at hand and left the study.

Walking along the corridor, he suddenly stopped in front of a door.

That was Rias's guest room.

Gu Bo stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The knock on the door echoed in the silent corridor, sounding particularly clear.

"Please come in."

Soon, Rias's voice was heard from the room, with a hint of fatigue.

Gu Bo opened the door and walked in.

In the room, Rias was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a book in her hands, seemingly reading.

Seeing Gu Bo coming in, she quickly stood up with a surprised expression on her face: "Master Gu Bo, why are you here?"

"I came to see you." Gu Bo smiled slightly. "It's so late, haven't you rested yet?"

"Yeah..." Rias nodded, her eyes a little evasive, "I can't sleep."

"Is it because of what happened today?" Gu Bo walked up to Rias and asked softly.

"Um……"

"A bit..."

Rias murmured in response, lowering her head even lower.

The evening gown had some slight wrinkles from sitting on the bed.

Looking from Gu Bo's direction, the girl's perfect figure was displayed to the fullest.

Her long crimson hair fell from her shoulders, obscuring her delicate profile.

"Don't worry too much."

Gu Bo looked at Rias, who looked worried, and comforted her softly.

"It will all pass, it will be fine."

"Well, I see..."

Rias nodded, but still looked distracted.

After a long moment, Rias seemed to have made a major decision.

He raised his head and met Gu Bo's gaze.

"Lord Gu Bo."

"what happened?"

"Can I... ask you a question?"

Since Gu Bo was standing next to Rias, the collar of Rias's pajamas was clearly visible from the angle he was looking down at.

Gu Bo looked away calmly and nodded: "Of course, ask."

"What kind of girls do you like?"

Rias took a deep breath and finally asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.

As she asked this question, Rias clenched her hands tightly and her body trembled slightly with nervousness.

After all, she was still very worried that Uncle Gu would be angry because of her abruptness.

After asking this question, her heart beat like a drum, and her pair of green eyes stared at Gu Bo's face.

Upon hearing this, Gu Bo was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He obviously didn't expect Rias to ask such a question out of the blue.

"This..." Gu Bo pondered for a moment, as if thinking about how to put it.

Rias looked at Gu Bo, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and felt uneasy.

Although I don't know how Cooper would view his problem.
