Dior

**Dior** (迪欧) is the eldest alive son of the Custer Family.

Kia was sent by Shea to negotiate a business deal with the Custer Family to alleviate the Food sanctions on Dark Moon from the Fallen Angel capital. Master Arthur helped Dior win the Mechanic contest. But after Master Arthur disappeared, Dior lost his status as Custer Family heir to Celine, and Kia returned to the capital.

## Appearance

Diou was a thin, tall, mutated Great Demon, whose strength was at Higher Demon. He looked like he was in his 20s, but he was actually over 200 years old. He seemed quite exhausted, but Chen Rui wasn't sure if it was too much pressure recently or if it was his wallow in beauties and alcohol.

## Story

He traveled outside the Capital City (Shadow Empire) to sightsee but disappeared for a few months and was nearly assassinated. George Wales saves Dior and brings him back to the capital. Dior's dad Croz suspects that Dior's younger brother Falamo was behind it since Dior and Falamo were competing over inheritance of the Custer Family.

Shea sent Gauss and Kia to support Dior to inherit the Custer Family business as it would be beneficial for Dark Moon's trade with the western Shadow Empire. Otherwise, if Falamo inherits the throne, because Falamo's wife Marianne is of the ruling Asmodeus Family, that could put the Custer business in Asmodeus' hands. It was easier to deal with the Custer Family under Dior than with the powerful Asmodeus family, who technically viewed Fallen Angel as a rival empire.

### New Candidate

Chen represents Dior at the Mechanic contest under the guise of Arthur.

In the alternative residence, Dior was already anxious. When he saw the two, he quickly greeted, "Sir Arthur, what happened? Savice not only rejected my invitation tonight very badly, but he also asked me to be careful!"

Chen Rui shrugged, "Because... I deliberately inspected the so-called capital's genius and felt that he can't be the ultimate winner of the contest. Besides, he's unbearably shady, so I helped you to teach him a lesson."

Seeing Dior's awful look, Chen Rui laughed, "Don't worry! I have a candidate, and he's definitely better than someone like Savice. If you're lucky, there is even a great chance of winning the contest. Otherwise, why would I give up on Savice?"

Dior's hope was ignited again when he heard that, "Who is it?"

Chen Rui pointed at the newly acquired mechanics badge on his chest, "Me!"

"You?" The fire of hope that Dior just ignited immediately extinguished.

"Relax!" Chen Rui said with confidence, "Do you know why Princess Royal sent me? It's exactly for this mechanics contest! At such a critical moment, do you think she will send an idiot who will only cause trouble? Being an apprentice and getting certified is just to let our opponents be sloppy!"

These lies actually made Dior slightly believe in him. Then, he heard Chen Rui added, "Although the registration is closed, I believe you must have a way to let me participate. So, go ahead and get prepared."

### Winning the contest

Arthur wins the contest, but then makes a deal with Celine to have her become heir of the Custer Family instead. Arthur 'disappeared' from the Shadow Capital, so the Custer Family blamed it on Dior. After that, Celine became the new head of the family. Meanwhile, Arthur traveled with Fatilu to Crystal Valley.
