Chapter 280: Chapter 61 Temptation, Temptation_4
The young girl was startled, looking up at the doltish yet skilled magician in front of her, her brows furrowing. Jin Bo’s gaze fell upon her, conveying a sense of inquiry. Gradually, she relaxed her brow, looking at Ah Dai who was also looking at her, their gazes colliding. She found Ah Dai’s gaze was so clear, free of any impurities. Her body slightly shivered and she found herself unconsciously nodding in agreement.
Yan Shi glanced at Ah Dai, somewhat confused. Though the girl was indeed beautiful, she seemed a bit less exceptional compared to Xuan Yue. Suddenly, he also noticed a change in the girl’s expression. However, Ah Dai showed no signs of being enticed by her. Could it be that Ah Dai had other aims? With this thought, he didn’t utter any objections.
Jin Bo said, "Since you, the magician, wish for Ah Bing to accompany you, you may have her. When you are above, you can swap her out whenever you’d like."
Ah Dai gave a faint smile, nodding towards Ah Bing who responded with a cold glare. Following Jin Bo, Ah Dai and Yan Shi, along with Ah Bing, headed towards the higher level.
Within a gloomy room of the Dark City Lord’s Mansion, a pallid middle-aged man quietly stood behind his desk, his back towards the door.
A soft knocking sound echoed through the room. The man’s face remained stoic as he uttered in a deep voice, "Come in."
The door opened, and a figure draped in black swiftly entered the room. He bowed and said, "Master, Hawk has arrived to report."
The middle-aged man’s expression faintly shifted, still with his back to the door, he told him calmly, "Have you located the person I asked you to find?"
Hawk replied, "I have found him. I am more than eighty percent confident that the person I found is the magician skilled in martial arts you are looking for."
"Hmm?" The middle-aged man inquired, "Why isn’t it a hundred percent?"
Still bowing his head, Hawk replied, "Master, after receiving your order that day, I immediately went towards the Empire of Huasheng’s stationed troops. Originally, I planned to stealthily sneak past them during the night, but I overheard the soldiers discussing a magician capable of summoning a dragon. After eavesdropping for a while, I repeatedly heard the same story from several groups of soldiers. Shortly before I arrived, three people including a magician had come to the City of Light. Because the stationed troops of Huasheng Empire were suspicious of their identities, the magician demonstrated his extraordinary summoning magic right before the soldiers, remarkably summoning a silver dragon emanating a sacred aura. This left the entire stationed force of Huasheng Empire in utter awe. I heard that the three were heading towards Empire of Sunset City. By then, I thought that if the soldiers were correct, it’s highly likely that the magician is the one you are referring to. Thus, I sneaked back painstakingly and eventually found the three not far from Dark City."
As he finished speaking, the man in black, Hawk, slowly looked up. It was indeed Vatana. The feeble expression on his face had long gone, instead aura of resoluteness shone through.
The middle-aged man slowly turned around, facing Hawk, and said, "A magician who can summon a dragon? That’s quite novel. I’ve never heard of any dragons on the mainland. Continue."
At that moment, the eagle recounted how he’d disguised himself as a wealthy customer who had lost all his possessions and how he had tricked Ah Dai’s group into trusting him. "The heart of that magician is really kind," he had said. "He once used his martial arts prowess to help me suppress my emotions, so I am certain that he is the martial arts proficient magician that you mentioned. His fighting spirit is incredibly dense, a classic path to take, it’s definitely not something that could be accomplished in one or two days, but after an extended period of practice. Later, under my guidance, they actually managed to demolish Uncle Fatty’s gambling den in the eastern city and robbed him of a hundred thousand gold coins. Do you remember the traps we set up initially? I led them to Anhao using the traps, Jin Bo has good memory, he cooperated well with me, revealing no flaws. Now, I think the three of them are still at Anhao. Jin Bo must have arranged for Bing to entertain them, I just don’t know how it’s going now. Master, what’s the plan to deal with them? Oh yes, they also gave me a letter, claiming that it will allow me to pass through the guards of the Province of Light freely and enter their territory." With these words, the eagle brought out the last letter and diamonds given to him by Ah Dai’s group.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, taking the letter into his hands, he said, "You keep the money as a reward for this time. Let’s go to Anhao, I want to know just how capable this magician is. Not only does he know martial arts but he can also summon dragons, something I have never heard of before. No wonder he could even defeat a summoned demon. It seems he is far stronger than that evil bastard. However, I’m curious, why did they come to our Empire of Sunset City? Are all the people from the Empire of Huasheng idiots? Such a formidable magician was abandoned, no, that’s not right, if the magician is truly as kind as you described, then he must have some other purpose in coming to the Empire of Sunset City. I am interested in their purpose". Having finished speaking, the master quietly left with Eagle, disappearing into the dark hallways of the Lord Mansion of Dark City.
Following Jin Bo up the stairs, Ah Bing moved to Ah Dai’s side. Her face was expressionless, her voluptuous body remained half a foot away from Ah Dai, but her body scent kept stimulating Ah Dai’s sense of smell. Ah Dai was curious about the girl named Ah Bing. He was very intrigued as to why her change was so abrupt. He had previously used his utmost ability to probe the girls, but he did not discover anyone with unique skills. Was Ah Bing specifically arranged by Anhao Nightclub? Or did she herself possess such incredible power that even the people of Anhao didn’t know about it? With a questioning heart, Ah Dai cast frequent glances at Ah Bing. On the surface, Ah Bing showed no reaction, but she was surprised to realize that her own heartbeat has quickened significantly, and her blood was flowing faster. Why was this happening?
Upon reaching the third floor, they found it drastically different from the previous two. The decor was no longer glittering gold but a room decorated with natural marble. There were no extraneous decorations. The room was extremely elegant, giving a very comfortable feeling. Two jade-like monstrously large doors carried three archaic words – Noble Hall. The most captivating sight was the eight maidens dressed in white standing by the door. These girls were all dressed in long white dresses, all their skin, other than their heads, were covered. This was a stark contrast to the girls from the Wealthy Hall on the second floor. They not only looked better than the girls from the second floor but also had a sacred look on their faces, without any frivolity, with just this demeanor winning over the three men.
Deeply impressed in his heart, Yan Shi praised Anhao Nightclub for its unique design and thought. The most special were the maids standing by the door, clearly arranged for the high-ranking guests, even he, with his stable heart, couldn’t help but feel a favorable impression.
Jin Bo smiled slightly and said, "Honored guests, you can choose any one of the eight girls standing by the door as your accompanying maid. They are all meticulously handpicked from around the country by our Anhao Nightclub. After prolonged training, each one of them is top-grade. If you wish, they can accompany you, but the cost is comparably high; to spend the night with them costs fifty thousand gold coins." Lowering his voice, Jin Bo mysteriously said, "However, gentlemen, rest assured, these girls are absolutely worth it, all are untouched virgins. Heh Heh."
Looking at Jin Bo’s cunning grin, Ah Dai felt a surge of disgust. The Empire of Sunset City was truly a dark kingdom, treating these living beings as commodities for sale.
Yan Li expressed surprise: "Fifty thousand gold coins?! That’s a bit too expensive."
"Actually, it’s not that expensive," Jin Bo smiled back. "These girls were bought from their parents at around ten years old. They underwent at least six years of training before starting to work. After serving guests once, they can’t stay here anymore. Nearly every client who can afford them redeems them afterwards at a price of one hundred thousand gold coins. If you don’t believe it, you can try, satisfaction is guaranteed."
Ah Dai coughed out of irritation, pulling the excited Yan Li, said, "Let’s go in. We came here to gamble, not to...." He blushed and couldn’t finish the sentence.
Jin Bo was still smiling, just as he was about to lead the three into the Noble Hall, he was stopped by Yan Shi. Yan Shi looked over the eight girls and shook his head, saying, "Although these goods are not bad, they don’t catch our fancy. Elder Jin, I wonder if you have anything else premium here?"
Jin Bo was taken aback and replied, "Sir, these are the premium items in our Anhao Nightclub, even if you search across the continent, it would be hard to find beauties like this!"
