BXBX NOVEL Chapter 267 Father-In-Law VS Son-In-Law
Bella and Aria paused as they sensed Belial\'s domineering presence nearby.
Belial still looked tall and devilishly handsome, with a masculine charm that was off the charts.
But his incubus characteristics seemed to fade in comparison when Belial took in Aengus\'s current form.
The two men locked eyes, neither willing to back down in this contest of masculine aura.
Aemgus had started to grow beard, while Belial was looking cleanly shaved.
Aengus was chuckling inwardly, while Belial was surprised by the strong presence of his supposed son-in-law.
"So, boy, you finally did it... I mean, you fell for another woman so quickly. Because of this, I\'m starting to doubt your resolve to protect my daughter. Alright then... let\'s have a spar between men," Belial offered, his tone patient but firm.
Aengus glanced at the culprit—Bianca—who had a wide grin, clearly enjoying the spectacle. He made a mental note to teach her a lesson later.
"Is he your father, Bella?" Aria asked curiously, intrigued by seeing an incubus for the first time—a creature she had only read about in books.
Bella slapped her forehead and replied, "Yes. He is my father, Belial Bellfrost, the Duke of the Lust Dukedom."
"Oh..." Aria murmured, already understanding Bella\'s father\'s nature after witnessing his reaction to finding his daughter\'s husband with another woman.
She thought to herself, He\'s an extreme pervert with numerous wives—that much is clear to her.
"Ah, sure, father-in-law!" Aengus accepted with a confident grin. Belial\'s Demon General level of power was nothing more than a light breeze to him.
"Absolutely not!" Bella stepped between them, blocking the confrontation to save her father\'s pride. Aengus\'s clone had already been that strong, and after their recent merge, she was certain of one thing—no Demon Lord would be able to harm Aengus now. So, what could her father possibly do with his meager Demon General level of power?
Belial knew Aengus had grown strong, but he didn\'t realize just how powerful his son-in-law had become.
"What\'s wrong, daughter? Why are you stopping me?" Belial asked, confused.
"If you\'re worried about your husband getting hurt, you should remember how he conquered so many strongholds from Demon Lord Crimson and Demon Lord Goliath," Belial reminded her. "Oh, right... I haven\'t asked for an explanation for that yet. What\'s your real goal in waging war against them?"
Bella shrugged. "We\'ll explain that to you later, Father. But right now, you can\'t fight your son-in-law. You\'re not his match anymore..."
"Huh? Not his match anymore?" Belial looked puzzled, then burst out laughing as if her words were absurd.
"Hahaha... Wait, you\'re serious?" he asked, noticing Bella\'s dissatisfied pout. She clearly thought he was being foolish.
"Yes," Bella said firmly.
She knew how overwhelming their victories had been, from conquering the temples of the ancient red serpent deity to taking several Demon Lords\' strongholds, increasing their forces to millions within just over a week.
Aria was both amused and a little proud, watching the reaction of the perverted incubus.
Belial eyed Aengus with growing doubt.
Aengus, with a sly smile, teased, "Why are you scaring your father like that, Bella? I\'m not going to harm him..."
"Scared?"
Belial\'s pride stung at his son-in-law\'s condescending tone, as if Aengus were doing him a favor by agreeing to spar.
How could a dominant man like him stay rational after hearing that?
"Who\'s scared, boy?" Belial growled, his ego flaring. "I\'m ready for any kind of challenge. Let\'s see if what my daughter said is true. If it\'s false, heh heh... you\'ll regret those two sentences."
With a low snarl, his purplish muscles swelled with barely contained power. His aura, crackling with energy, sent a wave of suppressed force through the room, causing the very walls to tremble.
"Very well, father-in-law. It seems you really need a reality check," Aengus replied, stepping outside.
Bella followed, her expression serious as she noticed that with each of Aengus\'s steps, the ground beneath them seemed to tremble like an earthquake of sheer power that struck Belial with astonishment.
Belial had been bracing himself for a surprise, but it was clear he had underestimated just how much Aengus had grown. His son-in-law now moved like a true force of nature.
This brought him a mixture of faint hope and relief; he\'d been concerned about their growing ambitions, but seeing Aengus\'s power firsthand was unexpectedly reassuring.
"Is this really necessary?" Bella muttered, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation.
Aria walked beside Bella, quietly amused. She was starting to think Bella\'s family wasn\'t so bad, even if they were of demonic origin.
She also understood why Bella looked more human than demonic—it was because her mother had been a human.

"Huh? What\'s Duke Belial doing here?"
"Tsk, you don\'t even know our lord, and they\'re related. He must be here to check on his daughter."
"Yes, but their expressions suggest something else..."
As Belial and Aengus made their way to an open field for a friendly spar, a curious crowd gathered, whispering and speculating.
"Fools, where are you going? Are you looking to die?" Sen and Sienna\'s stern warning echoed through the air at that exact moment.
The siblings, along with a few sharp individuals, recognized the fierce glint of battle-hunger in both their Lord\'s and Duke Belial\'s eyes.
"Ah, heh heh... That\'s right, Captain!"
Chastened by the warning, they dared not venture closer, keeping a respectful distance from the impending clash.
Aengus paused finding a suitable place, Amid barren land, approximately over a kilometre away from the spectating crowd.

Even from this distance the demon minions might not be safe. He casted an invisible barrier for shield them.
Belial could sense Aengus did something, but couldn\'t even dectect the protective barrier.
"Father-in-law, make it quick. Give your everything in one shot. We both have our own business to attend to..." Aengus said, wanting to get with this quickly.
