Chapter 188 Prelude to the Curtain Call
The exchange of pointers between the disciples of the Luzon Clan and Dan went smoothly without any problems. Cheers of gratitude and admiration welled out from the hearts of the disciples when Dan even pointed out the flaws within their techniques.
Patriarch Warren wore the widest smile that he ever wore ever since his marriage and Gerald who stood beside him felt that his loss was justified.
After dismissing the clamoring disciples, Patriarch Warren brought Dan inside his residence and the two arrived before a door to a bedroom. Dan stared at Warren in confusion and the latter explained, "I have found the finest cultivation furnace for you, young master. She's currently inside, and don't worry, no one can possibly see nor hear what's going on in there."
Hearing his words, Dan rubbed his hands together and even took a jade bottle filled with pinkish pills from his Spatial Ring. Both men lecherously smirked and Patriarch Warren excused himself, "I will be going now, young master. I wish you success in your cultivation."
Pushing the door open, Dan saw a king-size bed embroidered with expensive decorations such as deep-sea gold and crimson blood ruby. The room was dimly lit and the smell of alluring incense wafted out in the air.
The veil that covered the figure strapped on the bed formed illusions of an enticing temptress that any men couldn't possibly resist. Taking a step forward, the slender figure on the bed quivered, intensifying as Dan neared the bed.
Scanning the room, Dan sneered in his heart, the Patriarch of the Luzon Clan really deserves his reputation as an opportunistic and cunning man.
Despite the fact that numerous Sound and Light Isolating Formations were fitted on the room, a small gap between these complex formations was present that the Patriarch could tap so that he could see everything inside the room.
Dan stretched his arm and harshly pushed the curtains away, revealing the figure of a jet-black haired young woman that laid stark-naked on the bed. Strapped with numerous wires, her wide open legs revealed her inviting pearls as Dan gulped a mouthful of saliva.
[Outside Interference detected within the indicated scope.]
A system notification informed him of the Patriarch's snooping as he sneered. Undoing the straps around the young woman's body. Dan realized that she looked lifeless as if she was dead. Nevertheless, her vigorous Vital Yin indicated that she was alive, though her mind was placed in a state of trance due to despair.
Dan slowly took his clothes off and the young woman's fair countenance shivered, she forcefully closed her legs and covered her chest area with her hand while hiding her face with the other.
"I paid a heavy price to acquire you, yet here you are acting like a pure maiden?" Dan licked his lips, both of his hands landed on her legs and with a force, he pried her open as the young woman started choking in tears. historical
Patriarch Warren stared at the scene with a small smile on his face. Seeing the devious look on Dan's face and the despair on the young woman's expression reassured him that Dan was here to cooperate with him. Since it was rude to continue watching even without the other party's knowledge. Warren closed off the transmission.
[Outside Interference within the indicated scope has vanished.]
Dismissing the system notification, Dan heaved a sigh of relief and removed himself from the young woman's legs. The young woman who readied her mind and braced for the pain stared dumbstruck at him. She didn't expect that Dan would withdraw at the critical moment and she felt somewhat strange.
"Why did you..." She mumbled in a soft voice.
Dan turned to look at her but didn't reply as memories about the Patriarch's order surged within the young woman's mind. Patriarch Warren told her that she would be freed and returned back to her village as long as she could satisfy her very first and last customer.
Left without any other choice, she accepted and thought that as long as she could return safely to her family, she would sacrifice anything that she could.
However, never did she thought that the young man that was supposed to humiliate and shame her, actually stopped at a critical moment and this made her feel at lost.
Patriarch Warren's condition was to satisfy that young man before her but since he didn't proceed on taking her, the condition couldn't possibly be met.
"Take me...Please, take me..."
She gulped a mouthful of saliva and whispered into his figure. She wanted to end this nightmare as fast as possible.
Dan shook his head and said, "As I thought, that bastard is forcing you to do this, right?" Dan took a patch of fabric and covered her body with it.
"Why...are...you...doing...this...?" She spoke in a hesitant voice, afraid that she may anger the young man.
"I don't expect you to know anything about the Luzon Clan. And since it's not necessary for me to include you in my plan, and there's nothing that I could achieve if I took you, why should I do that?" Dan shrugged and said, "However, though I won't penetrate you, that doesn't mean that I won't take your Vital Yin, it's a very good nourishment for me."
Dan raised his upper body and pressed her on the bed. The young woman flinched in fear for a moment before relaxing and closing her eyes in tranquility. She even opened her legs and bit her lower lips to soften the incoming pain.
Dan lightly smiled, before placing his palm over her Dantian and absorbing her Vital Yin.
Dan's method of absorption was meticulous and miraculously didn't involve any form of pain with the exception of fatigue and weakness that the young woman instantly felt. As soon as Dan finished his absorption, the young woman's figure turned soft and she fell into a deep sleep.
He temporarily sealed her Vital Yin deep within his soul before dressing himself up, "With this, that old bastard shouldn't feel any suspicions about what happened in here..."
Several hours later, Dan received a jadeslip from Patriarch Warren about their trade routes and Dan sent all of this information to Senior Mathias so that they could safely and discreetly intercept the slave caravans.
Of course, Dan asked Mathias to delay the interception of the caravans so that he could acquire more information before Warren noticed something strange.
After acquiring all these evidence, it was time for the curtain call.
