When he finally regained his senses and opened his eyes, Eric found the beauty nowhere to be found around him.
That immediately alarmed him and awoke him startled, as he jumped on his feet without caring about his already hurt shoulder to look around.
Only to find himself completely naked, wearing only his underwear and a rough-made bandage over his right shoulder.
Looking at that rough bandage tied to his shoulder he found out that it was nothing more than ripped clothes.
On the ground, there were also a few other pieces of clothes drenched in blood and sweat, as finally felt some movement towards the place where he had lied until now.
It was only at that moment that he was able to notice that the woman he had searched all around the place, had been beside him naked, wearing only her underwear as well.
Also looking at her posture she seemed to have been hugging him from behind all this time until she had fallen asleep in that position of hers.
One look at the situation was enough for him to understand what had happened, as most probably she had saved his life.
Even though he remembered using the burning essence to try and close the wound, it was still an emergency measure, and he hadn't thought much about the consequences of doing something like that.
The burning essence had burned his wound quite a bit and closed more than 80-90% of the bleeding wound, but it hadn't fully closed it.
Most probably when he had fallen on the ground his wound had relapsed once again and started bleeding once again, even though at a slower rate this time.
Fortunately, his slave seal must have worked before he lost conscience as the lady by his side, had not only used their clothes to clean his wound but even ripped her own clothes to make bandages for him.
Once she had managed to take care of the wound, the cold environment must have thrown him into a fit of temperature, as he must have been freezing.
With no other way to warm up inside this small environment, she had decided on the body to body heat and had lied there almost naked with him, trying to warm him from behind.
It was only then that Eric could finally relax, and take a better look at his state, and especially at his new slave.
Concentrating on his Conscience Sea, he was able to see that besides the already existing soul statues of the people he had already placed his slave seal or sub-system upon, there was a new small statue.
It was the representation of the beauty outside. Without losing much time, he immediately felt their connection and started getting as much information as he could from her.
Her name was Ren Jia and was not of Japanese origin. In fact, she was a Chinese cultivator who had entered Japan under a different identity and then joined the 'Quick Hands' organization.
She was normally a sleeping cell inside the organization, but after the sudden appearance of his mysterious Master, she was ordered to use any means she could to arrive here and find his identity.
Or to be more exact, she was sent here to try and make a connection with that mysterious Master, and if possible to receive the potions formula from him.
What made him the most surprised was the fact that this beauty was still untouched, and pure, as she was ordered to even sell her body and soul if needed to make the connection.
By the moment that Eric had finished having a look at her memories, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then release a sigh,
"Sigh~!"
If he hadn't turned her into his slave and looked at her memories he would most probably never understand that she was here for that reason and truly think she was here for the fake treasures.
But this could also serve as a lesson for him, that no one is what it looks like, and even more so people that had come to this place in search of his mysterious Master.
Looking at the sleeping beauty, sleeping peacefully and without a care in the world, Eric couldn't help but think that looks are most certainly deceiving.
As he was thinking like that looking at her beautiful and serious face, Ren Jia seemed to have finally sensed his absence, as even the cold of the place was making her tremble a bit.
At first, her eyes started trembling, until finally open, as she then started looking around her, and her surroundings.
It didn't take long for her memories to return to her, as she slowly remembered everything, and she jumped with a startle, almost screaming at Eric,
"What did you do to me? Where are we? How come I can't think of harming you, and instead want to serve you wholeheartedly?
What is going on?"
There were a lot of things she didn't understand, and even more, questions that she needed an answer to, but for the moment these were the first that she could think about.
Looking at her reaction, and her vitals, Eric found out that he couldn't notice in the least if she was truly thinking and feeling like that, or was just acting in a really convincing way.
Until this moment, he had always been able to determine whether someone was telling the truth or not by looking at their vitals, but this Ren Jia was completely different.
He couldn't see through her in the least, which made him extremely startled and shocked. How was she doing this?
There was only one way to test her, as he looked at her seriously, concentrated his full senses towards her, and asked her in a solemn and heavy voice,
"Is your name Ren Jia?"
Caught completely by surprise, despite her great skills Ren Jia still wasn't able to control her heart properly for a second, as her heart skipped a beat.
But the next instant her heartbeat returned to normal, as she started laughing, and pretending to have heard a joke as she said,
"Hhahaha~! Where did that come from? I didn't tell you my name and you are already putting names on me?"
Eric couldn't help but become truly shocked at what he had just confirmed, as he looked at her with a face of looking at a treasure.
If not, what else!
She was able to lie to him, and not show any sign of it while being right in front of him. This was proof of her skill and ability.
Ren Jia was completely confused at that moment, as she had no idea of what was going on, and even less why this guy in front of her knew about her true identity.
She couldn't help but see him as a threat to her operation, her identity, and herself. But no matter how much she tried, she felt herself unable to act against him.
It was like something inside her was blocking all these negative thoughts inside her. The moment she even tried of thinking about it, the thought disappeared as if never existed.
The only explanation that she could find inside her head was that she might have fallen in love with him, but even then, those thoughts shouldn't disappear like never existed.
Furthermore, she didn't really feel some kind of a truly deep feeling about him at the moment. Certainly, she was conscious of him as a man standing only on his underwear in front of her.
And the truth was that she was a bit embarrassed and shy because of it, but that didn't count as love, did it?
As she was thinking like this, she couldn't find any possible explanation for her state, when Eric started throwing cold water on her head,
"Ren Jia, sleep cell! Agent number 212…78! Ordered to find traces, and try to make a connection with the new mysterious Master, thought to be located on the Senkaku Islands.
Your three sizes, 95, 62, 87 from top to bottom. The best agent known for undercover missions, and the vice leader of the Japan information network for the Popular Republic of China!"
If earlier it was only a bit of confusion and startle, now Ren Jia couldn't help but stumble for words. Everything that Eric said was 100% correct, including her name, number, mission, and sizes.
In fact, these weren't even the sizes when she had done the measurement at the agency. These were her current sizes.
Even though that last reason seemed a bit stupid because as long as someone had a spiritual sense, or a good measuring eye they would be able to tell her sizes exactly, she was still completely shocked.
What made this situation even worse for her, was that no matter how much she wanted to try and kill this guy right then, and right there, those thoughts would immediately disappear without a trace.
She couldn't understand how the hell was that possible, as the only thing she could do at that moment was ask with a truly heavy tone,
"Who are you, and how do you know about it?"
Hearing her heavy, and menacing tone, Eric just smiled at her brightly, and then answered with a sonorous voice,
"Oh, come on, agent Ren Jia you are breaking my heart! After all, you came so far just to find me, and try to form a connection with me, even willing to give your body to me!
Still, you ask me with such a scary voice!"
"Hmph, who would come here for you, I am here to for that mysterious…"
