A few days later, Matteo together with Erica, Liliana and Luo Hao returned to Milan Italy. It took Matteo a few days to realize that Erica tricked Luo Hao to become something akin to a concubine instead of a legal wife, how she managed to convince Luo Hao into this. Matteo already gave up trying to understand the moment he heard of this and chose to let nature take its course, it was not a bad idea having Luo as a concubine considering her looks and skills.

"Master! Look!" Aika who recently was summoned permanently was quite a hot topic for the girls, especially when they began to glance at Matteo with weird gazes. It was no brainer to say that he could no longer tease his father about kidnapping little girls. "Hmm?" Matteo turns to look towards where Aika was pointing at a sweet shop, "Driver can you stop somewhere close?" Matteo asked.

Erica and Liliana look at Aika with sharp gazes realizing this little girl was smart to use her little girl appearance to its full potential, "Erica, I never would have thought that we would have such a strong rival" Liliana spoke as she felt surprised, Erica glances at Liliana who began to develop curves and bust these past few days mysteriously. 'Did she alter her body?' Erica thought as she turns to look at Aika again "I will not lose to a little girl" She spoke with confidence.

Luo was silent, in truth she was looking at Aika with interest. 'To Manifest one's Authority with its own consciousness... Won't we Campione be able to produce several subordinates this way?' Luo thought to herself as she was considering if she could manifest her authority that was responsible for keeping the surrounding economy prosperous for her homeland.

When the car stopped, Matteo climbed out of the car together with Aika. From the outsiders view it looks like an older brother and little sister walking hand in hand. Aika took a similar appearance to Matteo with her long blonde hair braided behind her back and deep-sea coloured eyes glancing at the display view of the sweet shop filled with variety of sweets sold in the shop. Aika was wearing a white one-piece dress which she manifested with Matteo's mana.

"Mas--- Big Brother, can you buy me some sweets" Aika who was used to calling Matteo Master had to change her addressing to Big Brother since the secret of her identity was only known between Him and the girls. Matteo turns to glance at the car where the girls were waiting for them from, "Let us buy some for the girls as well" Matteo muttered with a warm smile, Aika nodded with a bright smile.

"Good Morning, and Welcome to Milan's Sweet Stop" Matteo nods at the lady who welcomed them while Aika went excitedly to buy several kinds of sweets, she did not forget to pack for the other three girls since it was her older brother's wish she will naturally comply to it. Matteo took out his phone and began to dial for Aurora, "Ara? It has been a while since you contacted me Boss" Matteo chuckled hearing Aurora's voice, 'Boss huh?' He thought as he felt it quite fitting.

"Can you get Bruno to help you, I want you to investigate all religions active whether in the open or hidden. I am looking for a group of people that intends to summon the Seventy-two pillar demons" Matteo spoke, "Got it Boss, also Patricia told me to tell you that one of your agents managed to grasp hold of the Minister of Military and Defence position. From now on, you will be able to get information within Italy without many delays" Aurora reported to Matteo.

Matteo nodded, in order to protect Italy faster he required to have connections in a place that can deal with local and national police force as well as Military Force to be his eyes and ears. "How is the crackdown on the local groups going?" Matteo asked as he pays, the group he was referring to was none other than gangs and mafias around Italy. After his experience with these kinds of people getting involved in events related to the Magic World, he rather gets rid of them now and has Italy safe.

"We have gotten rid most of them, there is a singular group that has deep connections with some Ministers in the Government so we could not touch them yet" Aurora answered his question, this was to his expectations as he knew there would be a group or two that will be difficult to snuff out. 'Perhaps I should snuff them out myself' Matteo thought before he gave his last order, "Leave them to me, for now, focus on searching for this cult that wants to summon the Seventy Two pillars. And tell Patricia she can officially hand over the organization task to her successor and become MB Group's False CEO"

"Got it Boss" Aurora closed the call just when Matteo climbed in the car with Aika who excitedly shared her sweets with the girls, Matteo gazes out the window as he began to feel more relaxed. Unlike other Campione's who take things with force, Matteo worked from the dark to take over the country's management bit by bit. Taking it slow, he intends to permanently control Italy from the dark even if he is not present. Not to mention he will soon have no need to listen to the request of others and work for himself.

"Matty, did you complete the paperwork for Luo's transfer?" Erica asked with a sly smirk as she leans against Matteo's shoulder, Matteo chuckled seeing his devilish girl really did trick him into a kind of relationship with Luo and now the person herself intends to live in Italy while occasionally she will head back to China. "Everything has been sorted, are you and Liliana ready to officially leave the Cross Knights with me?" Matteo asked the two girls who smiled warmly as they nodded.

After a while, they arrived at the Blandelli Manor where Paolo was waiting for them to arrive. Although his face was stoic, his eyes betrayed his excitement as he was notified about some secret information he could use to get one back at Matteo who teased him ruthlessly for years.

"Master, it appears that MB Group decided to make their move and officially introduce their CEO" Dante reported to Paolo as he was the middle contact man between Matteo's group and Paolo's behind the scene, Paolo nodded at Dante's report "Once the news come out, make sure to have Roberto to sign a few projects with them" Dante nodded as he turn and left to complete the orders Paolo gave him.

'So you managed to secretly take over the larger portion of the Countries power, heh Good work Son' Paolo thought as he catch the sight of a familiar black car approaching the Manor, his smile grew broader till he took a deep breath to hide his intentions. When the car stopped Matteo was the first to climb out, followed by Erica. But when Liliana climbed out with her body that was mysteriously developing caused many to feel surprised, 'Just what magic did she use' Some of the maids thought as they gaze at Liliana.

Shortly afterwards, Luo climbed out of the car causing the servants to hold their breath as they never saw a beautiful Chinese girl. Paolo moved his shoulders a bit as his eyes were focused on the open car door waiting for the perfect moment, when Aika climbed out of the car the servants felt their parental instincts calling out to them. 'This girl is simply too adorable!!!' All of them thought while Paolo's smile was revealed, Matteo stepped forward as he smirked causing Paolo to feel a strange foreboding.

"I'm home father, and I am here to introduce you to your granddaughter" Matteo muttered causing Paolo to have a cold sweat running down his spine while the Maids all began to gossip and the butlers turned their heads sideways as they knew Matteo was teasing his father, "Aika, greet your grandpa. He always wanted to have a little granddaughter like you" Matteo gently moved Aika towards Paolo while smiling, seeing Aika's innocent smile Paolo felt he lost once again to his son.

"Welcome to the Blandelli Family Aika" Paolo lowered himself as he spoke with Aika, "Grandpa, is it true you like little girls?" Hearing Aika's pure question Paolo almost felt his heart leapt out of his body while the butlers could not contain their laughter by closing their mouths with their hands, naturally this would not be displayed in public, but at home teasing Paolo was one of the entertainment that rarely occurs. Paolo coughed as he glares at his servants "I will have you all train double the amount later"

The Servants all kept quiet but their eyes kept laughing as Paolo turns to Aika, "Grandpa, loves children. Just like he loves your father" Hearing Paolo's words made Matteo's eye twitch, seeing this Paolo smirked "So you must make sure to call your father Papa at home" Hearing Paolo's words Aika nodded like an obedient child, "Yes! I will call Papa, Papa at home" Hearing this Matteo almost slipped on the ground 'Just whose authority are you!?' he thought

Erica and Liliana giggled at the spectacle, "We're home Uncle" Erica intervened before the teasing would get out of hand, "Welcome Back Erica, Liliana. And she is?" Paolo asked as he looked at Luo Hao, he naturally knew of her but she did not know of him. "This one's name is Luo Hao..." Luo began to introduce herself while Matteo glances at Aika, "So you want to be my daughter?" Hearing Matteo's question Aika tilts her head "Well I was born out of father, so it will be more fitting to call you papa"

Author Note:

Book will be on pause for a few days, I am not dropping this. Just realized I have two choices which one is easy but it could become problematic if the MC is turned into a sidekick so that's one route, the other route is to remove the original MC which is good. But it still does not change the fact that most Events took place in Japan which will be a problem.

It's not hard to write new content but I will not be able to keep up with DxD as well like this then, so I chose to pause this book for a while to think about it while I give priority to DxD, I might change Naruto to my second important book (Swapping places between Campione and Naruto) but that will be decided if I can't come up with a solution soon.
