The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess
Chapter 227: Riya's Hidden StrengthRiya explained her encounter along with Alice leaving everyone stupefied.
They stared at her with a gawking gaze and for a moment, the status of their innocent-looking Riya clinging to Alex seemed to have gotten figured to the point they couldn't see it.
Her status seemed to be a bit overpowered which shocked them greatly.
Gulp!
Catherine and Christina swallowed their saliva after hearing the full story
"You are a diamond token holder," Catherine asked with disbelief written all over their faces.
Catherine wasn't ignorant of the status. She had completed her scholar degree in Zenith and knew much about the black market.
Meanwhile, Christina who though hadn't been to any academy or stayed in Zenith much knew about it from the military.
Sometimes, they need to seek information about the offenders and criminals from the black market.
And this naive-looking girl was the holder of authority which was enough for the boss of the Market to bow down their head.
Alex was a bit ignorant about it but still didn't find it hard to believe after explanation after knowing about things.
"Riya, there is one thing I am curious about."
"Anyone who had been in Zenith knew the terror and legend of Shadow Queen who had an excellent record of 390 kills of the assigned," Catherine muttered.
"You were clearly at Epic rank earlier so how could you achieve such a feat? If you killed only Epic ranks and Transcendent ranks, you couldn't achieve such fame with this, so how?"
"I am also curious about it," Alice asked with sparkling eyes.
Although Christina didn't say anything, her eyes also brimmed with curiosity.
Riya stared at Alex with an inexplicable expression.

"Riya, you can reveal that."
"I will seal this entire place with the sound barrier," Alex muttered and snapped his fingers.
Riya nodded and muttered, "That's because I have a hidden power which can increase my strength to a greater degree."
Riya muttered and stood up from her seat dropping the veil and the cloak.
The mana around her swirled frighteningly and veins bulged all over her body.
Her hair broke free from the bun and started to flutter.
Her black hair turned purple and her pupil became purple and her body started to emit a purple layer of mist.
Her strength started to increase from early Transcendent rank to peak and then broke past to legendary rank and reached mythic rank but as it was about to climb higher.....
Alex shouted "Stop it! That's enough."
Riya nodded and soon let go of her transformation returning back to normal.
Heavy grasps could be heard across the room as Riya returned to her seat.
Alex took a deep breath and stared at Christina muttering softly for only her to hear"Christina did you remember something."
Christina shuddered on meeting Alex's gaze and wondered how he knew.
Just like Riya, Christina had this kind of power which was known as Valkyrie mode.
She wanted to say something but was stopped by Alex.
"We will talk about that later."
Alex led Riya to continue.
Riya explained her story to others.
Riya couldn't control that power previously. It was like that until Alex helped her.
Previously, whenever she was in danger, her powers activate on her own and after that, she doesn't remember anything except everything before she had been destroyed and her target was dead.
With her ability, she tried to get into a higher authority and consolidate some power. Her goal was to save Alex from the assassin if any.
Even the Emperor helped her indirectly which proves that he wanted to help Alex.
There may be other reasons or he might want to keep a tab of things going in the organisation.
Whatever may be, with his help she was able to achieve her purpose.
And to her surprise, there have been five people who wanted to kill Alex but Riya assassinated them instead.
As she rose in authority, she made sure not to kill the innocent and went after the ones who had done something bad and were evil.
For example, a man whose family had been killed by a knight from a noble household and the man used all his savings to kill that guy.
But that didn't mean that her hands weren't stained with blood. Even though she knew it was bad as long as he can keep his lord safe, she was ready to do it.
Fortunately, no one aimed for him as he grew up after all Alex was already crossed from the list of threats due to being an idiot.
Sob...Sob...Sob.....
"Big Sis, I didn't know that you have done so much for Big Brother, "Alice spoke while shedding tears.
"Brother, I am warning you if you dare to betray Sis Riya, I will not forgive you."
Let alone others, even Alex was a bit overwhelmed by Riya.
Alex never asked Riya and waited for her to reveal her story. Who knew Riya was holding back because she didn't want Alex to know what she had done for him?
If not for her present situation, she might have not revealed everything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Thanks, Riya for taking care of me," Alex spoke with a worried look.
Riya seeing his gaze just gave him a pleasant smile.
After everything had been sorted, Alex interlocked his hands as he fell into deep thoughts.
His plans had been messed up and he was sure that since Riya wasn't able to find the seller that guy had already left this place.
His option to stay and search for him was no longer possible. Previously he didn't want their intervention that's why he decided to keep it secret but since it is exposed, he needn't stop it. Rather it would be good if the matter blows out greatly and turns into a grave situation.
'What would happen when the person behind this mess is found when the whole Magic association is behind it? Wouldn't it be fun?'Alex grinned inwardly.
"We will leave before dawn tomorrow."
"But what about the scroll," Catherine asked.
"I wanted to find that person laying low. But now since the magic association has been informed about it, the movement is gonna be big and all eyes will be upon them."
"We will be in trouble if they could trace the scroll to us."
"And the perpetrators may already be aware of this. So, we need to get out of here."
"My Lord, you don't need to worry about it. I have made sure that Ken didn't reveal anything about us." Riya spoke.
"Good!"
"Tell him to inform a lone wolf, if he gets anything," Alex spoke with a sigh.
He needs to find a way to get into the Magic association so that he could work out with them to sort out the mess.
While Alex was preparing to depart and reach Zenith unknown to him and all the people of the world something big was happening in the shadows.
An event that could change the scenarios of the present.
The place where only darkness exists where there is no sun or moon.
A place where darkness swallowed the light.
The Realm of Darkness, a place that had been forgotten from the pages of history.
