Riser Phenex isn't a Villain Chapter 80 Crimson Stigma
Added 2023-08-30 12:50:54 +0000 UTCEven though Riser had told Ni and Li to practice with Magiri, he didn't tell them to practice immediately. Instead, he brought them out to go on shopping with the credit card owned by Nurarihyon.
As expected, even though Nurarihyon was a youkai, he also followed the development of a human, so he also took importance on the economy of his group.
When Riser, Ni, and Li went to the shop, they bought many things since they didn't bring that much of clothes when they visited.
Naturally, as a female, even if Ni and Li were devils, they were still excited about shopping, so they bought many things.
Riser didn't mind and let them buy as much as they wanted to since money wasn't a problem, especially when he used Nurarihyon's credit card. Moreover, he also had given them a gold block, which should be enough to pay for all their shopping.
Nevertheless, Riser knew the importance of money.
Frankly, when he came to the human world for the first time, the one who gave him money wasn't his parents. Instead, it was Sona's.
Yes, Sona gave him her credit card and let him do whatever he wanted with it without a limit.
Yet, even if his goal was to mooch his wife and his wife's family, frankly, it felt strange to use them, especially when he used them to pay for the clothes and all items for Ni and Li.
By now, he realized that as a human, he wasn't as worthless as he thought to be since he still felt uncomfortable using her wife's money for other women. Fortunately, as a bad guy, he had never lacked money.
Moreover, Nurarihyon also sent a few of the underlings to help Riser with the shopping, which was quite convenient for him since someone could help him as a driver and guide and also help to carry the baggage.
Overall, their days in Tokyo were fun.
At night, Riser, Ni, and Li didn't stay at Nurarihyon's headquarters. Instead, they went to the Shangri-La Hotel and stayed in the most luxurious room together, having fun for the entire day as tomorrow Ni and Li would need to focus on training.
Still, Riser had never thought that being a villain would be this good.
If he was a good guy, coming politely, would he be treated this way?
Probably not.
If Riser was a normal human, he might do so since that was the way of living of the people, but he was a devil.
A supernatural being.
His opponent, the East Youkai Faction, was also a supernatural being.
The strong got everything, and the weak were eaten.
It was like how the eagle would hunt the mice, and the mice would hunt seeds.
Being strong meant that he was at the top of the food chain.
Still, even if he was in Tokyo and had a good time, he didn't forget to talk with Sona, his wife. Nevertheless, it might be quite troublesome for him to talk about what he did in Tokyo, so he didn't mention anything about the East Faction Youkai.
Instead, he only said that this group of youkai had good hospitality and he also might need to stay for a while in Tokyo.
Even though Sona was quite disappointed since he couldn't go back immediately, she could only pray for her husband to live well in Tokyo. Still, if he stayed until the weekend, he told her to come to Tokyo. After all, he came to the human world for the first time as Riser Phenes, and there were many things that he wanted to do.
"By the way, do you have a trading account?"
"...what do you want to do with it?" Nurarihyon looked at Riser weirdly.
"I want to try something."
Even though Nurarihyon felt weird, with his connection, it was easy for him to create a trading account. Frankly, as a youkai, he didn't like anything related to finance and anything without any forms like trading and something similar. The business that he usually did was either shops, lands, managed festivals, properties, foods, services, street vendors, money lending, and protection.
If Riser had to say, Nurarihyon's business was like how a yakuza did their business.
—or rather, were they yakuza?
Either way, most of the youkai didn't have that much money and only had a bare minimum of money.
The one that had the most was, without a doubt, Nurarihyon, as there was no doubt that he was the smartest among the East Youkai Faction. However, as he was old, he was too lazy to learn about the change, but his method was working, and property was the easiest way for one to make money.
Riser felt that Nurarihyon was good, and he understood why Nurarihyon was the leader of the East Youkai Faction. After all, unlike the West Youkai Faction, which relied on old shrines, the West Youkai Faction needed an innovative way to earn money.
Nevertheless, Nurarihyon had never seen someone who could make so much money in just a short amount of time!
"You... you... how did you make so much money?!"
Nurarihyon looked at Riser, who was clicking his laptop lazily, but the amount of money in his account increased at a crazy speed.
By then, it wasn't only Nurarhyon and those who managed the business of the East Youkai Faction, but all the elders and many others were staring at the small screen in a daze, watching Riser make so much money.
Now, how did Riser make so much money?
The answer was simple FOREX.
In the FOREX, there was something known as an analysis chart known as candlestick charting, and by using "Mathematic Master," he could tell when the market was going to rise or fall.
Frankly, Riser had never thought that making money was so easy, which made him speechless.
Still, when he had gotten at least 100 million dollars, he stopped and then looked at his new followers. "Help me to make a shell company to escape the tax. I will use this money for capital for business; you can have half."
"...."
"What are you staying like, idiot?! Quickly help the young master! Follow his every order!" Nurarihyon shouted like a maniac.
"Yes!"
All of them quickly worked as they followed every of Riser's orders faithfully without any mistakes.
"By the way, Young Master, are you going to stop? Are you not going to make more money?"
"No, FOREX is a gamble. I don't like to make money in finance since it is unstable and troublesome. I like something stable where I don't need to do anything."
As for increasing the size of the precious metal thought "Command T," if it was occasionally, it didn't matter, but when it was done too much, it might interrupt the price of the metal, so he wouldn't use such a method, especially when there were many ways to make a money.
"That's true."
Even Nurarihyon knew how troublesome FOREX was.
However, there was no doubt that Riser was good at it.
Moreover, his way of creating a fraudulent account to erase the tax was so amazing that Nurarihyon could only bow down. Not only the profit from the FOREX, Riser also helped with the account of all of the businesses owned by the East Youkai Faction.
'This is the leader we need!'
Even if Nurarihyon loved being a leader of the East Youkai Faction, as expected, it was quite troublesome, especially when everyone wished to get money, but while he wasn't bad at business, he wasn't as talented as Riser, who could get so much of money with such a short time.
"Is it only me, or have you accepted me as a leader now?"
"Why not? It's great to have you as a leader." Nurarihyon laughed happily as if what had happened yesterday. Frankly, all the services and money used by Riser for shopping was nothing compared to the profit bought by him through FOREX.
"..."
Riser blinked his eyes and sighed. "I can see that there is a lot of trouble in the East Youkai Faction."
"It's okay. It's okay. I know you can do it, Young Master!"
"...."
Riser was even more speechless, but then he asked, "Nurarihyon, is your hypnosis can affect a human?"
"Of course." Nurarihyon nodded. "If I use it on a human, they are practically my slaves."
"Then, get me all the data about the politicians, businessmen, and...." Riser listened to all the important people that he wished to control.
"Okay, you hear that. Bring it to him. If there aren't any, then get them! We're going to develop our faction even more!"
"YES!"
When everything was done, Riser lay on the tatami ground lazily as he played a game that he had just bought yesterday. Nurarihyon also joined him, and they played together as if they were best friends.
"By the way, are you only going to conquer the East Youkai Faction?"
"What do you mean? I don't even have the intention to dominate your faction, to begin with." If Nurarihyon wasn't such a bastard, would Riser do something so troublesome like this?
"...."
Nurarihyon was speechless, but he knew that everything was his fault. However, it didn't matter since everything developed in a good direction.
"Why did you ask that question?"
"No, I was thinking that you might conquer another supernatural group in another country or something, then make them into a giant group under your leadership."
"....."
Riser looked at Nurarihyon weirdly, wondering why this old guy was so excited to help him.
"If so, then you might need to make a name for that group."
"...a name?"
"That's right! Let's think of the cool one! The name of the group that will control the world from the darkness."
"..."
Riser wondered whether this old guy was in a delusion.
'Still, a name, huh?'
If he really made such a group, what would be a suitable name?
"Have you thought about it?"
"Well... how about Crimson Stigma?"
"...Crimson Stigma?" Nurarihyon murmured.
Frankly, Riser felt a little embarrassed when he could think of such a name, but he was too lazy to think anymore, so that's it.
"It's a good name." Nurarihyon felt that this name wasn't bad at all.
"Is that so? Let's continue to play."
"Wa-Wait a moment! Don't leave me behind!"
Riser just made that organization without thinking, but then again, this organization might grow into something that he had never expected, and due of this, his dream to become a lazy bum became so far away.

NOTE:
This will be the name of his organization. I am trying to think of the best name, but if you have a better one, please comment.
