Chapter 1017: Chapter 61 Temptation, Temptation_4
The girl was startled and looked up at the simple-looking magician skilled in martial arts, frowning lightly. Jin Bo’s gaze fell on her, reflecting a questioning expression. The girl’s brows gradually relaxed as she turned to look at Ah Dai, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and she noticed that Ah Dai’s gaze was so clear, without a trace of impurity. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she involuntarily nodded.
Yan Shi glanced at Ah Dai, feeling a bit puzzled. Although the girl’s appearance was indeed outstanding, she still fell short compared to Xuan Yue. Suddenly, he noticed the change in the girl’s expression. Ah Dai showed no signs of being seduced by her. Could it be that Ah Dai had other motives? With this thought, he refrained from speaking out against it.
Jin Bo said, "Since you, the magician, wish for Ah Bing to accompany you, then take her. Once you’re there, you can switch her at any time."
Ah Dai gave a slight smile, nodding at Ah Bing, who responded with a cold glare. Led by Jin Bo, Ah Dai and two others walked up with Ah Bing.
At this moment, in a dark room within the Dark City Lord’s Mansion, a pale middle-aged man quietly stood behind his desk, his back to the door.
A soft knocking sound echoed, and the middle-aged man remained unflustered, saying in a deep voice, "Come in."
The door opened, and a black figure flashed into the room, his entire body shrouded in black cloth. He bowed and said, "Master, Hawk has come to report."
The middle-aged man’s expression slightly shifted, still with his back to the door, he spoke indifferently, "Have you found the person I asked you to locate?"
Hawk responded while bowing his head, "I have found them, and I am over eighty percent certain that the person I found is the martial arts skilled magician you’re looking for."
"Hm?" The middle-aged man uttered a soft sound of inquiry, saying, "Why not one hundred percent?"
Still with his head lowered, Hawk replied, "Master, right after receiving your orders that day, I quickly made my way to the military unit stationed by the Empire of Huasheng. I intended to sneak through during the night, but instead, I overheard soldiers discussing a magician capable of summoning dragons. After spending some time eavesdropping, I heard the same thing from several groups of soldiers—that not long before my arrival, three individuals had visited the City of Light, one of whom was a magician. Suspecting their identities, the magician demonstrated his extraordinary summoning magic in front of many soldiers by summoning a silver dragon filled with a sacred aura, astonishing the entire garrisoned forces of the Empire of Huasheng. I learned those three individuals were headed towards the Empire of Sunset City. I thought, if what those soldiers said was correct, it was very likely that this magician was the person you were searching for. Thus, I stealthily returned and finally found those three individuals not far from Dark City." At this point, the black-clad man known as Vatana slowly lifted his head, his earlier frail expression replaced by a robust presence.
The middle-aged man slowly turned to face Hawk, saying, "A magician capable of summoning dragons? That’s quite novel. I haven’t heard that dragons still exist on the continent. Continue."
Eagle recounted how he had disguised himself as a wealthy man who had lost all his assets and how he had deceived Ah Dai and the others into trusting him. "That magician was extremely kind-hearted. He once used his martial prowess to calm my emotions, so I was certain he was the martial arts-capable magician you spoke of. His martial prowess was very profound, undoubtedly a result of long-term training. Later, under my lead, they even destroyed Uncle Fatty’s casino in the east of the city and took a hundred thousand Gold Coins from Uncle Fatty. Do you remember the traps we had set up earlier? Using those well-set traps, I led them to Dark City. Jin Bo has a good memory and cooperated well with me, showing no flaws. Now, I think the three of them are still in Dark City. Jin Bo must have arranged for Ah Bing to receive them. I don’t know the situation there now. Master, how do you plan to deal with them? Oh, right, they also gave me a letter, saying that with this letter, I could safely pass through the military guards of the Province of Light and go to their territory," Eagle said, as he pulled out the letter and the diamond coins that Ah Dai and his companions had given him last.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and took the letter in his hands, saying, "Keep the money for yourself as your reward this time. Come, let’s go to Dark City. I want to see how capable this magician really is. It’s unheard of for someone to not only possess martial arts but also summon dragons. No wonder he could even defeat a demon’s summoning. He must be much stronger than that evil bastard. However, I’m curious why they came to the Sunset Empire. Are all the people from Washington fools? To let go of such a powerful magician. No, that’s not right. If the magician is as kind-hearted as you described, he must have another purpose for coming to the Sunset Empire. I’m quite interested in their purpose." After speaking, he quietly left the room with Eagle, disappearing into the dark corridors of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Ah Dai and his two companions followed Jin Bo up the staircase. Ah Bing moved closer to Ah Dai, her face expressionless, maintaining a distance of six inches from Ah Dai, but the fragrance from her body occasionally stimulated Ah Dai’s sense of smell. Ah Dai was curious about this girl called Ah Bing; he really wanted to understand why her behavior had changed so much. Earlier, he had exerted his full power to explore the condition inside the other girls and found none possessing unique skills. What exactly was Ah Bing? Was she specifically arranged by the Dark City Night Club, or did she possess strong powers unknown even to the people of Dark City? With these doubts in mind, Ah Dai occasionally glanced at Ah Bing. Though she showed no reaction on the surface, she was surprised to find her heartbeat accelerating, and even the speed of her blood flow had increased. Why was this?
Finally, they reached the third floor, which was completely different from the first two floors. Upon stepping upstairs, the grand decorations were nowhere to be seen, replaced by a hall adorned with natural marble. There were no superfluous decorations around, giving off an exceptionally elegant vibe and a very comfortable feeling. The most captivating aspect was the presence of eight girls in white dresses by the doors adorned with the carved words "Noble Hall" in three ancient characters. These girls, dressed in long white gowns that covered all but their heads, were not only more beautiful than the girls on the second floor but also had expressions of saintliness on their faces, devoid of any frivolity. This demeanor greatly enhanced the favorable impression of the trio.
Yan Shi inwardly praised the Dark City Night Club for its unique decor and thoughtful design, especially the maids at the door, clearly meant for distinguished guests, which added a special flavor; even someone as serene as him could hardly resist feeling impressed.
Jin Bo smiled slightly and said, "Honored guests, you may select any one of these eight girls to serve as your attendant for the night. They have all been carefully chosen from across the country and trained for a long period. They are all of the highest quality, and if you wish, they can also accompany you, but that would incur a significant cost—the fee for spending a night with them is fifty thousand Gold Coins." Lowering his voice, Jin Bo added mysteriously, "However, rest assured, these girls are absolutely worth the price; they are all genuine virgins. Hehe."
Looking at Jin Bo’s sly smiling face, Ah Dai felt a surge of disgust. The Sunset Empire was truly a dark realm, treating these living girls as mere commodities to be sold.
Yan Li exclaimed, "Fifty thousand Gold Coins, that seems quite expensive."
Jin Bo smiled and said, "It’s not expensive at all. These girls were purchased from their parents when they were around ten years old and underwent over six years of training before starting work. Each of them can only serve a guest once before leaving here. Almost without exception, the guests who can afford them redeem these girls afterward for a hundred thousand Gold Coins. If you don’t believe it, try it, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."
Feeling somewhat annoyed, Ah Dai coughed and pulled at the emotionally moved Yan Li, saying, "Let’s go inside. We’re here to gamble, not to..." His face turned red, and he could not continue.
Jin Bo was still smiling and was just about to lead the three into the Noble Hall when he was stopped by Yan Shi. After sizing up the eight girls, Yan Shi shook his head and said, "Although these girls are not bad, they still don’t catch our eye, Brother Jin, I wonder if you have any other top-quality merchandise here?"
Jin Bo was startled and said, "My lord, these are the finest we have in the Dark City Night Club. Even if you searched the entire continent, you would hardly find beauties of this quality!"
