"If we could possess the ability of [weapon creation], we could indeed become a lower-tier version of the Lord's support."
She didn't mean to belittle anyone; on the contrary, she thought it was a very high compliment.
Zhou Ye's strength is evident to all.
Being able to imitate even a part of his ability is already a remarkable improvement.
Looking at their expectant faces, Zhou Ye felt a sense of relief.
The improvement of a partner's strength means an improvement in the overall strength of the team.
In this perilous world, every bit of strength brings a greater sense of security.
"I will make arrangements for the creation of the Demon Sword."
"Shizuka's props are also being conceived."
he reassured.
"However, one must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time."
"The unusual activity on the moon has just subsided, and in the coming period, all parties will certainly strengthen their vigilance and investigation."
"It's better for us to keep a low profile for now."
Nami nodded.
"That's what the boss said."
"Making a fortune quietly is the best way."
She has always been very skilled at hiding her strength and playing dumb to outmaneuver others.
Jill agreed.
"Revealing too many cards before you have absolute certainty will only lead to unnecessary trouble."
Zhou Ye stood up.
"Alright, everyone has worked hard today."
“Especially Nami and Saeko, you have just gained new powers and need time to adapt and consolidate them.”
"You should all get some rest."
Shizuka Marikawa yawned slightly, a satisfied smile in her eyes.
"I will obey my lord."
Everyone dispersed, each carrying with them hopes for the future.
"Also, please use the same way you address me: 'Boss,' just like Nami does."
Saeko Busujima and the other women nodded. Whether it was "Master" or "Boss," these were respectful titles they used to address Zhou Ye.
Chapter 91
As night deepened, the hustle and bustle subsided into silence.
Zhou Ye's home was brightly lit.
Nami and Saeko Busujima returned to their rooms to familiarize themselves with the new power surging within them. That power was like a newborn star, needing time to settle and develop its brilliance.
In the living room, Shizuka Marikawa was still lounging on the sofa, hugging a cushion and staring longingly at Zhou Ye, clearly still thinking about that "medical-grade good stuff".
Jill and Nanri appeared more composed. They had high expectations for the concept of "weapon creation," but they also understood that it would not be achieved overnight.
Looking at them, Zhou Ye already had a preliminary plan in mind.
The concept of "Creating the Demon Sword" is the crucial first step.
Without further hesitation, he picked up his phone and found Rias Germain's number.
The call is made.
beep.
beep.
beep.
After three busy tones, the call was connected.
Rias's slightly hurried voice came through the receiver, carrying a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
"Mr. Zhou, is there anything I can help you with?"
Her tone seemed less composed than usual; the unusual movements of the moon and the pressure from Phoenix were clearly making her uneasy.
Zhou Ye got straight to the point.
"some."
"I would like to borrow your family members, Kiba Yuto."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
Rias's voice was clearly filled with surprise.
"Yuto?"
She seemed somewhat confused, as Zhou Ye's previous contacts with her were mostly related to Himejima Akeno.
"What is it?"
Zhou Ye's tone was calm, yet carried an air of unquestionable authority.
"I want to see his divine weapon, the [Demon Sword Creation]."
He paused for a moment, giving Rias time to process the request.
"Because we need to provide you with the tools to defeat Phoenix, [Magic Sword Creation] is an important reference."
These words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly created ripples.
Rias's voice changed immediately.
"You mean... the item to defeat Phoenix?"
In her voice, suppressed weariness was replaced by a strong sense of anticipation.
Zhou Ye nodded in affirmation.
"Correct."
Rias took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm her turbulent emotions.
"Ok."
Her answer was concise and to the point.
"I'll send Yu-Dou over right away."
Then, her tone became slightly playful, which was typical of her.
“Mr. Zhou, you should tell the women in your household to be mindful of the impact they have.”
Zhou Ye chuckled softly.
"Yes Yes."
"Then, have him come over as soon as possible. I'll wait at home."
The phone hangs up.
The atmosphere in the living room became somewhat subtle because of this brief phone call.
Shizuka Marikawa blinked her big eyes curiously.
"Boss, what do you need Rias's family members for?"
Jill and Nanri also cast inquiring glances their way.
Zhou Ye placed his phone on the coffee table.
"Do you remember the artifact I mentioned to you, [Weapon Creation]?"
Nanrika's eyes lit up instantly.
"of course I remember!"
"Boss, could it be..."
Zhou Ye nodded.
"Kiba Yuto's divine artifact, the [Demon Sword Creation], can create all kinds of demon swords."
"I need to study its construction principles in order to better build your [Weapon Creation] capabilities."
Jill's expression also turned serious.
"So, Kiba Yuuto's arrival is the key to us gaining new abilities?"
Zhou Ye looked at their expectant expressions.
"That's understandable."
"At the same time, this is also to help Rias."
He added.
"She is facing considerable trouble now."
Nami's voice came from the bottom of the stairs. She had changed into comfortable loungewear and was walking down slowly.
"Boss, it's about the engagement with Rias Gremory, right?"
She had clearly learned something from Zhou Ye's account.
Zhou Ye nodded.
"Rice Phoenix of the Phoenix family."
"A spoiled brat from a pure-blooded demon family—this kind of thing can exist in both humans and demons."
Saeko Busujima also emerged from her room. Her aura was more restrained than before, but her sharpness remained undiminished.
