219: Entertainment Block, Red Light District

Entertainment Block, Red Light District

The Entertainment Block of the Paradyne Academy looked full of activity and as bustling as ever. As the center of entertainment for the exhausted commoners, disciples and even Elders alike. it was a place that never slept.1

If one wanted to engage in debauchery, one should visit the Entertainment Block where they could fulfill the desires of their hearts. Putting commoners aside, cultivators rarely get sick so problems like sexually-transmitted diseases were never a problem for them.

Of course, as the Headmaster that oversaw the operations of the highly-profitable Entertainment Block. Mathias implemented laws that benefited both the workers and the customers so the women that worked here of their own will never felt violated.

Paired with the fact that cultivators thought of gold coins as nothing but mere worldly possessions. The Entertainment Block was the ideal workplace for women that had no other choice but to sell their bodies.

Inside a Pavilion surrounded by a constant pinkish mist that emanated a fatal allure to men. Rodger and Vanadis stood with a respectful expression on their faces.

As the one of the Imperial Prince, Rodger held a towering status and those that could make him this subservient could only be counted in a single hand.

Before Rodger and Vanadis stood a young woman clad in a completely pink robes. Her expression glazed and she looked seductive. Inciting the desires of the men that dared to look at his countenance. If not for the fact that a short veil enveloped her eyes, the two would've melted under her gaze.

Vanadis recovered from his trance and he sent a wisp of his Spiritual Energy towards his young master, snapping him off from his stupor.

Witnessing his actions, the young woman lifted a sneering smile on her face. But of course, on the outside, she maintained her polite demeanor. After all, Rodger was still an Imperial Prince, the son of the current Emperor.

"This one is the current Pavilion Chieftess of the Charming Pavilion, Adevhine Crystal..." She deeply bowed and her robes that obeyed gravity revealed the valley on her chest as Rodger and Vanadis fought the urge to stare.

"Damn it, the sister of the Charming Academy's Headmistress really is formidable. To think that we're at the same realm but she can still charm me like this..." Vanadis mumbled a chant and his mind cleared up. His expression hardened and his eyes looked sharp.

Rodger also recovered from his stupor and formally introduced himself, "This one's name is Rodger Duterte. I guess, the Chieftess must know about my status, right?" He stretched his hand forward, asking for a handshake.

Adevhine merely nodded her head in confirmation. Ignoring his gesture, she proceeded.

"May I know about the Imperial Prince's business?" Adevhine made a sidelong glance at Vanadis and the latter felt that his secrets were unveiled. This uncomfortable sensation irritated him as he clenched his fists and thought.

"If I fought with this woman, the chances of winning wouldn't even be at thirty-percent..."

Sighing in his heart, Vanadis knew when to retreat. It's not like they came here to ask for a fight so there was no reason to react against Adevhine's blatant provocation.

Rodger clasped his hands together and answered his inquiry.

"I came here to ask for a cooperation with the Charming Pavilion. The Duterte General Merchandises is willing to offer twenty-percent of the Paradyne Academy Branch's stocks as long as the Charming Pavilion lends us a hand on eliminating a minor threat..."

Adevhine lifted her eyebrows. Making the Imperial Prince feel threatened enough that someone as proud as him actually asked the help of a third party. His enemy shouldn't be so simple.

"Interesting... Tell me the details first and I will decide..." Adevhine lightly smiled and Rodger wiped the beaded sweats on his forehead. Vanadis's report about Juliet's casual actions of equipping her body with several dozens of Earth Grade Talismans threatened him.

His instincts, honed from deception and subterfuge told him that if left alone. Juliet would certainly become a threat to not only his business but his position as the Imperial Prince. Even if he lost twenty-percent of his Duterte General Merchandises stocks, he was willing to gamble as long as the Dreamy House was removed.

"The threat that we're facing this time should've been a minor problem if not for the fact that her background is unclear. No matter how much we researched her and her origins, we wouldn't find anything substantial. As if someone was forcefully suppressing any information about her..."

His words shocked Adevhine. The Imperial Clan's influence almost covered the entire Empire yet even with their connections. They still couldn't acquire solid information against their enemy? This was strange...

Rodger saw Adevhine's knitted eyebrows and she fell into contemplation.

"Judging from your description, this enemy of yours shouldn't originate from the Empire or at the least, you enemy has her own methods on suppressing her identity, enough that it is impeccable even with the Imperial Clan's connections."

"That is indeed the case..." Rodger nodded his head and Adevhine followed up.

"In that case, why bother asking me for help when even one of the most influential Imperial Clan couldn't find any traces of her even when using their connections? Do you really think that my connections can top the Imperial Clan?"

Rodger wryly smiled, "That's indeed the case, if not for the fact that we're sure that you're the only one that can help us discover her true identity, then we wouldn't come here in the first place..."

Adevhine's expression turned indescribable and she said, "Why do you say so?"

Rodger continued: "Our research tells us that all information about our enemy, aside from the fact that she appeared in the Academy several months ago were missing. This only means one thing. The Paradyne Academy is the one that's protecting her from the shadows..."

His words astonished Adevhine and she wasn't able to say anything for a long time...

Later on, she replied...
