Just as Della had predicted, Anom felt someone approaching the house he was staying in. He opened his eyes and stood up from the bed.He went downstairs, and before the person on the outside could give a knock, he opened the door.Luna was surprised but she became happy as soon as she saw Anom.Anom smiled as he stroked her head. "What? You started missing me already?" he asked as he continued to pat her.Luna wanted to say something but she forgot what it was and lowered her head to enjoy the pats.Anom had a guess about what she wanted to say but it wasn’t that urgent. He didn’t mind giving her some head pats as he enjoyed that too.Luna felt so good that she closed hr eyes and kept lowering her head till it was touching Anom's chest.Seeing her expression, Anom chuckled. "Little maid, you'll become an ostrich if you lower your head any further." He stopped patting her and rubbed her smooth cheek.Luna broke out of her daze and made a disappointed expression. She jumped abruptly and
Anom explained his plan and Loreana couldn't help but agree that this was the best strategy they could use right now. Given that Anom could pull it off without alerting anyone."Don't worry. I don't like to brag, but I won't undermine myself when it comes to the skills I specialize in." Anom assured them.Loreana took out something like a map from her storage pouch. It was the blueprint of this estate.She spread it on the table and explained about all the security points to Anom. He had to do this in absolute secrecy with not even the non-hostile people finding out anything.The plan was set as Anom decided the order in which he would go snooping around. He also wanted to take this chance and ask about the power levels of all the suspicious people. That would give him a better understanding of how much effort he needs before he can reach the next level.But then he decided that maybe it would be more interesting to spy on them this way. The unknown is scary, but it can also be exciti
"ANgh…" A moan entered his ears, followed by more moans. The erotic moans were clearly being uttered by a lady, while low grunts and moans of a man were also heard in between.Anom frowned as he thought that maybe he came at the wrong time.But then he began to hear some words along with the moans as the people inside began to converse."AAH… Slow… down… you… AANHH… SLOW DOWN, DAMN IT!!!" The woman screamed at her partner in a commanding tone. Her partner made a low grunt of agreement."Yes… Just like… Nghh… that… AAAHHN~" The woman let out a satisfied moan, indicating that she might have climaxed.There was a short silence before a sentence was heard."Let's do that again," spoke the woman.Sounds of flesh colliding together, along with grunts and moans began to sound from inside once again."Ahh… hmmm… Hey! You didn’t forget to… Ahhhmm… send a gift to our niece, right? I… Ahnn… don’t want the other women in the family to tease me… Hnnn… for forgetting such a small matter.""Of cours
"What happened? She didn't drink the soup?" Guloi asked in a stern tone.Biona lowered her head, afraid that her husband would blame her for the failure.But Guloi only sighed. He shook his head as he said, "Master and I already guessed this when we heard no commotion."Biona was relieved that she wasn't going to be blamed for the failure this time. But she became worried again. "What will we do now? Has master thought of another plan?" she asked hopefully.Guloi remained silent for a while before speaking. "It will not hinder the plan for tomorrow, but it will surely give the Handler family a reason to lower the benefits they promised Master in exchange for the Safaira family's surrender.""But… will we be okay after the Handler family takes over?" Biona asked worriedly."Hmph! Don't underestimate our Master. Those Handler bastards proposed many restrictions for when they took over our businesses, but our Master made it clear that he would only hand over the businesses and the family
"We have to deal with an annoying fly first." The head servant, Guloi, was still outside, keeping an eye on Loreana and Crystal. Anom gestured them to stay quiet as he disappeared. The head servant was leaning on a wall with his hands crossed. He was keeping an eye on the path that led towards Crystal's place. His face was tense as he couldn’t calm his anxiousness. This was their last chance to solve this 'peacefully'. His master could only resort to force if he failed today. But that would pose another problem as he would have already done so if not for the presence of someone stronger in the family. A shadow arrived behind him and Guloi, who was busy with his thoughts, only felt a slight pain in his nape before everything darkened. Anom picked him by his neck and took him to the garden in front of Crystal's house, hiding him behind a tree. Loreana nodded when she saw him returning. It was better this way as she didn’t want the Second Head to know about the plan this early. The
"Who sent you to my family, Mr. Spy?" This sentence would have caught any other person off guard, which, along with the pressure being emitted by the old man, was enough to make one panic. But Anom just stared at the old man for a few seconds before he started chuckling. "And here I thought this family didn’t have someone with some brains. This should have been the first thing they should have asked, but seriously, this just makes them look like a bunch of adorable fools." He gave the old man a look as he took a sip of the delicious drink. "But this trait of theirs could also become the cause of their doom." Loreana would have frozen stiff in fear if she heard what Anom was saying and the way he was speaking with the most respected person in her family. But the old man didn’t show any anger and just contemplated what Anom had said. He sighed and shook his head. "Yeah. They are good kids, but they are sometimes too naïve… Maybe I should have used some methods similar to the Handlers
The power structure of Nulis City is occupied by many forces. The adventurers, mercenaries and their respective groups occupy control over the moving forces of the city, therefore occupying a strategic and decision-making position.Another force is the merchants. As it is a city based on the trade of resources acquired from the Zeru forest, the role played by the merchants is very crucial. But not just any merchant could establish a firm footing in such a chaotic place.That's where the merchant families entered the picture. There are five major merchant families inside Nulis City, with the Safaira and Handler families being the most prosperous.All the merchant families form a group and invite individual merchants to work for them, instead of operating separately, creating a wide network of merchants allowing them to control the whole trade structure of the city. Sometimes their combined force might even affect the decisions of the Kingdom.This allows the merchants to have a conside
Loreana was standing with her back against a sturdy tree as she looked into the distance, lost in her thoughts.The moonlight illuminated the face of the mature beauty.Her expression was neutral but Anom saw her eyelids quivering sometimes, maybe whenever she thought about something depressing.Anom walked closer but she didn't show any reaction, as if not paying attention to anything besides her thoughts.He stood by her side for a few seconds. But when he saw her not detecting his presence even till now, Anom smiled wryly.She was lost in her own sad and gloomy world when Loreana felt a warm hand on her shoulder. Then, maybe because she was on the brink or maybe because this warmth contrasted her gloomy feelings, tears fell out of her eyes.Anom was badly startled when he saw her tears. The pale moonlight illuminated the pearl-like drops as they flowed down her face, making this scene even more heart-breaking.He first thought about calling Crystal to comfort her mother, but then h
