Chapter 256 - Seduction
Chen Rui knew that such a complaint was useless, but he let Dior be. Seeing Kia’s mood seemed a little low, he made an embarrassed look, “Kia, don’t worry about today’s incident.”
Kia knew he was talking about the little unpleasantness at the restaurant and shook her head, “I’m the one that’s supposed to say sorry.”
“Let’s not talk about that anymore! This is for you.”
Kia took the box and looked at it. It was a delicate brooch, and her eyes were gleaming, “This is what we saw just now...”
“I saw that you like it, so I bought it secretly when you weren’t paying attention.” Chen Rui smiled, “You can have it. Take it as a little surprise.”
“Thank you sir.” Kia’s lips moved upward as she smiled.
Chen Rui nodded, “This smile is much better than your usual smile. I like it a lot.”
Kia’s face was hot. She made an excuse to go in to rest, then she left in a hurry. From her back, came the unscrupulous laughter of “Arthur”.
Listening to the smugness of the man’s laughter, somehow, the succubus felt her heartbeat accelerated.
As Chen Rui expected, Dior’s complaint toward his father, Croz, came to nothing. Yet, Croz made a decision to temporarily move all three children and their supporting mechanic to the inner city.
The inner city was heavily guarded, and commoners and idlers weren’t allowed to go inside. This could prevent assassinations like this to happen again.
The Custer Family’s residence in the inner city was very large. Chen Rui brought Kia to live in one of the yards. Although they didn’t go out shopping anymore, after the previous incident, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding as the habitual flirtatious smile on Kia’s face had somewhat reduced substantially.
It was one day before the start of finals. Yesterday, Chen Rui happened to encounter a competitor, who was the previous champion, Robert, a Great Demon with Intermediate Demon strength. He was skinny and looked fit. When he saw Chen Rui then, he looked unfriendly. Also, he didn’t say anything and turned to leave. There was the hint of “there are always resentments between those from the same industry”.
The night had fallen. The moonlight in the sky glowed faintly in purple. Kia and Dior’s sister Celine got along well. Not long ago, she was taken away to look at new clothes. Chen Rui was sitting on the stone table in the yard, holding a glass of wine and slowly enjoying it.
Doing things in his own way, bold, clever, stubbornly likes certain types of beauties and fine wines. These were the key words that shape the character of Arthur. In order to maintain this image, he drank every day now, and he usually drank alone.
While drinking, he missed many people at the same time. He missed his beloved woman; the woman who was truly his; he missed the woman who he might have fallen in love with; he missed the loli who was he only considered as a sister at the moment; he missed his perverted, annoying friends; he missed his relatively normal friends...
Chen Rui didn’t neglect the training of strength because of mechanics. During this period of time, other than linking the training ground’s time rule with the refinery, he also trained at the training ground with various rules crossed-over, such as gravity, surfing sea and deep sea. The cultivation of the mind hadn’t stopped because of the end of Alioth state. On the contrary, with the “spur” of Shura, which might be resurrected at any time, the cultivation of the state of mind had become one of the daily “courses”, even if his daily words and behavior were also one of the state of implicit training.
Migrez state was to refine principles, but “principles” was more than just spirit or magic. It included a huge area. He remembered in Buddhism, there was a saying called “everything is related principles”, which included 5 desires, 12 places and 18 realms. Yet, Chen Rui only remembered the names, but he couldn’t remember the details. Chen Rui’s understanding of principles were all things and phenomena, which could be called – the world.
He had a faint feeling that the “world” might have something in common with the power of the so-called “territory” or there were only minimal differences. The day when he had truly realized the power of territory should be the time when the Migrez state was completed.
However, the power of the territory could only be mastered at Demon Emperor level minimally. Besides, even at the Demon Emperor level, it was only pseudo-territory. Now, he was at most equivalent to the strength of Great Demon King. Even if he had some concepts taught by Paglio, he still couldn’t understand them.
Chen Rui thought of a newly acquired thing, which was the realm king fruit he obtained by scamming the Mellon Family. The realm king fruit was the essence created within the Aurora Frost. After consuming it, it could generate a spiritual imprint similar to the feeling of territory according to the consciousness of the user, which in turn helped the users to understand and enhance the power of territory.
Perhaps, I can try the realm king fruit.
It was just that the power of the realm king fruit was too powerful. It could only be withstood by Demon Emperor and above. I wonder if I can solve this problem through Star Devouring and Star Conversion since the realm king fruit will expire within three months anyway.
Certainly, for now, it is better to finish the mechanic contest first.
Chen Rui took a casual sip of wine. Suddenly, he frowned slightly as he saw a stunning figure walking toward him, but it wasn’t Kia.
The woman came closer. It was Marianne.
Due to the [Nirvana] talent, the Asmodeus Royal Family, regardless of gender, was the most beautiful in the entire Demon Realm. Marianne had a good figure, curvaceous breasts and hips, thin waist, and excellent facial features. It was just her eyebrows were too thick which made her seemed slightly dominant.
Yet, the more dominant she looked, it gave men an alternative desire to conquer as they wanted to see how slutty a dominant woman would be on the bed.
Marianne wore a low-cut long dress with bare shoulders. She looked even more enticing under the moonlight as she walked toward him slowly.
“Master Arthur.”
Although “Arthur” hadn’t obtained the certification of master, he had shown that his capability was close to master. That intentional compliment made him smile slightly.
Seeing that he didn’t refuse that compliment, Marianne was a little calmer, but she didn’t know that Chen Rui’s actual capabilities had already reached the master level long ago, so he was well deserved.
“Isn’t it a little boring for master to drink here alone? Do you want to have a drink together?”
Chen Rui had already guessed that Marianne must be here to win over his royalty, so he nodded.
Marianne secretly rejoiced. She sat down, took out a cup and filled it, “The other day, I was unaware and my words were rude. Please forgive me for offending you, master. I’ll take this cup as an apology.”
Marian drank a glass of wine and sat closer to Chen Rui while the aroma from her body dug into his nose.
“Madam Marianne, let’s get straight to the point.” Chen Rui took a sip of wine slowly, “I don’t like to beat around bushes.”
Marianne settled down and said, “Master’s capabilities were obvious to all in the semi-final. Although Robert was the previous champion, in my opinion, he is far from comparable to master. I hope that... master will let him win in the finals the day after tomorrow.”
“Oh?”
Marianne noticed Chen Rui wasn’t excited, so she hurriedly added, “Master also knows that this time, it’s related to the heir of the Custer Family. As long as master is willing to help us this time, there’ll be a huge reward for appreciation. No matter what, what Dior offered master, I can give double... I can even offer myself to master.”
Chen Rui’s eyes fell on the undulating boobs on Marianne and he examined them up and down again since it would be a waste to not look at it. Marianne felt as if she was a good being evaluated by merchants. She was the sister of the second general, Warren, the Asmodeus Royal Family. Back then, Warren made a huge mistake and nearly died. In order to preserve his power, she had to marry the Custer Family reluctantly. After getting married, she had been dominating her husband, Falamo. Now that she was being looked at unscrupulously, she felt uncomfortable, but she had to show a welcoming smile on her face.
After Chen Rui had a free show, he slowly said, “I’m afraid even Falamo didn’t know about this bargain in advance. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll turn his face?”
“He dares?” Marianne’s eyes straightened, and it had quite a bit of her usual demeanor. Then, she smiled charmingly, “That man is just a coward. How can it be compared to a real man like master. As long as master promises, not only tonight, I can continue to be a secret lover of master in the future. My brother, Warren, is the second general of the Empire, part of the Asmodeus Royal Family. I can even recommend master to become a high status palace mechanic.”
Speaking, Marianne’s eyes revealed moving brilliance, and her breath became hot, “I’ll tell you a secret. Falamo is basically a useless trash in bed. I would really like to experience the strength of real men...”
Chen Rui had a little sympathy for Falamo. Not only he was strictly controlled by his wife, but he was also being cuckold.
“Actually, even if I promise, Robert might not be able to win in my opinion, Horford is stronger than I am. Madam, you only have one body. Do you plan to sell it to two people? Or are you thinking if you fail to seduce here, you’ll try the other side?”
Marianne’s eyes suddenly cooled down, “What do you mean?”
“Do you still not understand?” Chen Rui drank a glass of wine slowly, “Madam, your seduction failed. I’m not interested in women like you. I suggest you to get to know your opponent’s preference before approaching Horford. For example, you’re right that I like women, but I’m quite picky in terms of taste. For the type I like, I’ll obtain her at all costs. If I don’t like it... even if she gets naked in front of me to seduce, it’s no different from a skeleton to me.”
Marianne stood up suddenly with a great deal of humiliation in her heart. Her original enticing glance seemed to be boiling with fire.
“You’ll regret the choice you made today!” Marianne said while she clenched her teeth and left angrily.
Chen Rui didn’t take it seriously. He knew very well that Marianne’s seduction and coax were just for the contest. Once the contest was over, he was just a negligible mechanic, and he would probably be killed. Besides, even if those promises were true, he couldn’t agree to them.
Chen Rui took another sip of wine and smiled lightly, “It’s time for you to come out now. You’ve been watching for quite a while already.”
A high-pitched laughter sounded, “Master is indeed a master. My sister-in-law is used to being dominant. After experiencing such humiliation suddenly, I’m afraid she’ll vomit blood out of anger. Pity my second brother to be the punching bag again.”
The woman who spoke was actually Dior’s youngest sister, Celine. Celine came over wearing a casual short skirt with big eyes and a beautiful, lovely face. Although her beauty was slightly inferior to Marianne, she was full of the youthfulness of a girl, especially the fully rounded... deadly weapon on her chest.
If a little loli is here, she will definitely be envious.
“Ms. Celine.” Chen Rui laughed, “Where’s Kia?”
“She’s trying on clothes and accessories in my dressing room. I promised to give her a few sets. Hopefully it’ll please you, master.” Celine smiled cutely.
“Then, for Ms. Celine to leave Kia at the dressing room and come here yourself, is there anything that I can help you with?”
Celine grinned, “I know that master doesn’t like to beat around bushes, so I’ll just say it directly. Actually, my intentions are the same as those of Marianne’s. I hope that master can let go of the first place in the contest. In fact, with master’s capabilities, it’s unnecessary to prove yourself in such a level of contest. However, this victory is too important for me, so I’m here to shamelessly beg master for help.”
“This request really surprises me.” Chen Rui looked surprised, “I heard Dior said that his competitor is only his younger brother, Falamo whereas his younger sister, Celine isn’t very keen on this. I didn’t expect Miss to be so thoughtful on the heir’s placement.”
“I can’t be not ambitious. My elder brother’s ability is too poor, so my family will be lost sooner or later in his hands; my second brother is almost the same. Although he has a capable wife, she’s from the Asmodeus Royal Family after all. So, once he is in control of the family, it will not take long before the family name of Custer to be replaced by Asmodeus. Only I can continue the Custer Family.”
Celine said with a smile, “I’ve finished reasoning, but if master truly concedes, there won’t be a lack of benefits. Just now, my sister-in-law, Marianne was just too stingy to only pay twice the reward... Then, I’ll give 10 times the reward, and I can pay you half right now.”
Chen Rui’s eyes lightened slightly: It stands to reason that Dior’s rewards for him must be an astronomical figure. Celine immediately offered 10 times the reward, and she can even pay 5 times right now. This courage isn’t something ordinary people have. It seems that this girl isn’t simply. Both Dior or Falamo have underestimated this sister who seems harmless usually.
No wonder, the unknown mechanic, Horford supported by Celine, could reach the final with amazing results and became one of the two black horses. This may not be just luck.
Chen Rui showed interest, but he shook his head, “I appreciate Ms. Celine’s kindness, but I have an agreement with Mr. Dior. I don’t want to break my promise.”
“Actually, I was just testing master just now. Surely, master didn’t let me down. In the Demon Realm, there are very few people who keep their promises.” Celine wasn’t displeased, but there was a little more maturity and firmness in her smile than didn’t match her age, “This kind of man is worthy of me, Celine Custer.”
Chen Rui was really surprised. Celine’s eyes glowed strangely, “As long as you can help me get the position as the head of the family, you can truly be my man. The entire Custer Family will be yours. You can use the family resources to further improve your skills, and you don’t have to wander around trying your luck. If I’m right, your level should already be a real master. The Custer Family itself started from a mechanic, so it’s perfect. With ability and potential, even if I’m the head of the family, I’m not wronged to be your woman. I know you like to do things in your own way, so I will not limit you. You can have many women. However, you have to become a member of the Custer Family and our descendants will also be of the Great Demon Custer Family that continues controlling the Custer family. I believe my father, Croz, will be happy to see that. Even if he’s not happy or unwilling to let a girl like me to control the family, as long as the situation is certain, he can only face the fact.”
Chen Rui put down his wine glass with a little seriousness in his eyes, as if he had only known Celine for the first time. This seemingly innocent and lovely girl is so ambitious!
Another little loli joins the harem?
