City of Desire: Chapter 273 Feeling

“Lord Count,”

Greeted Taren as the winston hall; one of six places Count receives important people depending on their stations and his liking for them.

Winston hall came in the middle. If it had been Taren’s father; he wouldn’t have received him in this hall.

Thankfully, here, Taren had followed the proper etiquette without the slightest disrespect to the Count.

He understands with whom he could mess with and with whom he couldn’t. It seemed to make Lancel an...

Izmar, Oton Continent

“Mommy, I don’t want to go,” said the girl of five as she hugged her mother. “I don’t want you to leave too, honey, but you both need to go,” she said, with tears dripping from my face.

They need to leave.

Their claws had already started extending toward Heron. They might go for Josie too. She can’t let that happen; she won’t let her children suffer the fate; she is suffering.

They will be safe with him. He might b...

City of Desire: Chapter 271 Francesca Charlette

“Madam Francesca, are you fine?” asked the red-haired girl.

“I am fine, Ress. Just a little stressed about the order; I don’t want to make Mr. Lucas worried,” I replied, and the girl shuddered.

Nobody wants to make Lucas worried.

“It is slightly late, but it will come before Mr. Lucas comes to the fragrance,” she replied.

Putting a smile on her face, to mask her worries.

I nodded and entered the hall on the third floor, talking with patrons, who wer...

City of Desire: Chapter 270 Poach

A robed figure entered the great dark hall and kneeled in front of a pale young man, sitting at the huge bone throne.

“Your, deathless,” he greeted.

“What is the great news from wasteland?” asked the young man directly.

“We have been wrong, your deathless. It is not moving as we had expected. It had already stopped in one place,” the robed man replied, and for the first time in a long while, he saw the slight change in expressions on the pale young man’s face.<...

Deerpond

“Your son is barely eating and sleeping. Will you not do anything?” asked the woman as she walked into the beautifully decorated room, with fury in her eyes.

“What do you want me to do? The Lord had forbidden any action that could jeopardize the trade,” asked back the man angrily.

He is not just angry, but also frustrated. Despite all his power, his son had suffered great humiliation and he couldn’t even take the revenge.

“I heard ...

The door of the carriage opened, and Remus stepped in, looking slightly tired, but otherwise well.

“I thought I would miss the ship,” he said as he took the seat opposite of me.

“I am sure you could have been able to keep it on the port an hour extra, if you wanted. Mr. Director of Trade,” I teased, and his cheeks reddened a little, while he shook his head.

“If it is a general ship, I might, but Ateriz’s Gl...

“Mr. Silver, wake up,” said a gentle voice.

I immediately opened my eyes and saw that it was still dark.

“We are a few minutes away from the mirador hold,” informed Zela. I nodded and straightened myself before looking out of the window.

I could see the grand silhouette of the mirador holding in the distance. Lights on the massive fortress are shining through the dark; illuminating it, like a moon in a night's sky.

Even after seeing it, so many times. It still ...

Click!

A young man walked out of the door with a huff. It is clear by his expression that he is not happy, with what happened during the meeting with his father.

“We will be late by only a week, my lord. The day the princess left, we can leave too,” said the middle-aged man.

The young man had just been told that a princess was coming and till she left, he could not leave either. He is tired of them; she is not the first princess and prince, w...

City of Desire: Chapter 264 Grand Ritual of Kama Rakalis II

“Open the gates,” I said with Reaching Voice, a new skill in my Madam Class. It had a range of three hundred meters; it let my voice reach the person far, without raising my voice.

The only condition is that I need to see them.

The guards heard me and opened the gates. In less than five seconds, the first carriage entered.

I didn’t stay on the first floor and strode upstairs before the gates fully opened.

Four hours have passed since the establishment opened, and...

City of Desire: Chapter 263 Grand Ritual of Kama Rakalis I

“Let’s go,” I said to the driver as I took the last look at the ship sailing through the river toward the Owlspring.

I had booked the whole ship to take them; the cost is slightly expensive, seeing the ship, I had booked, but it will be a comfortable journey for them.

Carla will receive them, once they reach the city.

She had been there for three days and will come back a day after tomorrow. She had been regularly making the trips to the merchant state, overseeing the ...

City of Desire: Chapter 262 Responsibilities and Preparations

“It is enough for today, gentlemen, we will meet again in a week,” I said to the three people in front of me.

They are Damon Hardt, Soren Arryn, and Charles Tilak; all three vice-directors of trade. Each of them was responsible for a different region, including me, who was responsible for the eastern region as well as their boss.

It hasn’t been long since I got the promotion and there are already a couple of people vying for the position.

Not the position of director o...

Margaux

Whoosh!

Barb exhaled, creating a magnificent stream of fire.

She had been learning fire breathing for months and in the past week; she had become confident enough to show it in front of the girls.

I really wished she didn’t; it is dangerous, but she is an adult and could make her own choices. I still hope, she would take safety into consideration and use safe oils instead of alcohol, which I heard is a dangerous choice.

This show of her...

“Welcome home, Adviser,” said Vice-Guildmaster Soren. “It feels good to be back, Vice-Guildmaster,” I replied to the man.

It really feels good since the assassination attempt. I didn’t sleep properly, had been paranoid every moment; it was really bad.

Not that Greltheaven is safe, but it is a home. It has the inherent feeling of safety that I need very much.

“Adviser, since we have escorted you to the Greltheaven, our contract ends here,” said the burly curly-h...

City of Desire: Chapter 258 Enemies Retreat

“Fuck!”

I cursed seeing the spell and wanted to jump out of the ship, but staying would be even more dangerous.

Above the ship, in the sky, is a giant spindle pillar made of water crystal. It is not the ice, but the water crystal. The shade and structure of water crystal are distinct from the ice, even if both looked similar at first glance.

It had materialized a moment ago when the mist dispersed.

It is coming down like a missile, with gravity increasing its momen...

{Shields of Ahasin} {Dispel}

I cast the two spells again to deal with the barrage of water lances and water tentacles coming from below to at me.

I cast the spells and moved with the Aqua Glide. Staying in one place is a mistake in front of an enemy like him. Countless times, he had nearly had me and would have, if not for my trusted dispel magic.

It is the spell I had cast most of my life.

The place where I learned magic wasn’t a place sp...

City of Desire: Chapter 256 Giant Blood

Thud!

The head fell to the ground and rolled beside my feet; I watched the masked head, unable to believe that I killed him.

He was really powerful, and I didn’t even think about killing him My only goal was to survive, but the freak chance provided the opportunity, and I took it, leading to the current circumstances.

With him being dead, all the pain given from his skill vanished. Only the pain from the injuries has remained.

I looked at it for a moment, before taki...

City of Desire: Chapter 255 Curse and Opportunity

Sorry of the delay.

Clang Clang Rip

The enemy continued with his attacks, and I was defending with my all, using everything I had, but I was still getting injured.

The talent alone isn’t enough to bridge the gap of level and experience.

Still, I have to survive, and I am pushing everything I have to the limit. It is the only thing; I could do to survive against this enemy.

“Stop resisting and give up or things will get far worse t...

City of Desire: Chapter 254 Attacked At Sea IV

I stopped right in front of the enemy and swung my rapier at him using Swift Blade and Weighted Strike.

The man who appeared in front of me was thin and tall, with sun-kissed skin. He had dark black hair and brown eyes that were oozing with confidence.

He is feeling that killing me would be a piece of cake; a task he will accomplish within a second.

My attack was sharp and fast, but I didn’t see any fear in the eyes of the enemy, just a faint surprise before he swung his s...

City of Desire: Chapter 253 Attacked At Sea III

Clang BANG BOOM!

The enemies and our people met and began to clash while cannons and spells blasted from the ships.

It is utter chaos, but those fighting seemed to understand it. Except for me and my guards, everybody here has a good experience of the naval combat, including Captain Azalea and her men.

They are going well, but my focus is on the enemy leader, who is responding to the attacks of the Stone and Captain Azalea.

He seemed fearless with his cutlass. He dodge...

City of Desire: Chapter 252 Attacked At Sea II

Got cold. Feeling fine now. Thank you for your patience.

“What is the progress?” asked the middle-aged man, looking at the map of Renwell Region, specifically at its thirteen cities.

In front of him is an open scroll, on which are the names of forty-one people. They all belong to thirteen cities; and are important people. The people who could pose a threat to future plans that will commence after that event.

They did not fear these people, no...

“How long since we have passed Inam?” I asked Stone behind me. “One and a half hours ago,” he replied.

I would have liked to see it; it is a beautiful city. I will see when we come back.

I was staring at the vast blue sea when Locke and two people came out to the deck and there was a smile on their faces.

In the five days of negotiations, there has been only a person who had leveled up or told he had leveled up. If he was telling the truth, then likely nearly everyon...

“I had asked him to teach them a lesson; I didn’t expect he would use his whore,” said the older man as he sat comfortably in his chair.

“Remus loves to use his whores everywhere,” said the young man, not as happy as his father. “He knows where to use them and this time, he used one wisely,” said the man, with a smile on his face.

Happy to be able to get back at them in some way.

“…Grade 4 and Grade 6 addictive substances. Would need to be marked specifically and should be transferred in a separate carriage, with four guards guarding them,” said Master Silver.

‘That bastards!’ cursed the Count from the other end, as I explained to him what happened.

I could feel the anger in his voice, and it was bubbling.

They played us, while Count watched. Forget finding out about this gathering. His agents weren’t even able to catch a whiff of it.

If we had, even a small hint, we would have been better prepared.

‘Come back, Remus,’ he said a second later. ‘My lord, that would be a grave mistake,’ I said in a calm tone.<...

“Thank you for taking me with you, Remus,” said Locke as the carriage entered the bustling port.

“No need to thank me. There is no one better than you to take from the merchant guild,” I replied, and he smiled. He knows very well that I could have taken anyone from the guild, but I chose him.

Aside from him, there is Ida in the carriage; she had arrived an hour before dawn and now coming with me.

Her contributions are the greatest to what is happening. She is the one...

City of Desire: Chapter 245 Urgent Summon

“Any new messages?” I asked Zela, to which she shook her head.

I was eating breakfast in my hotel room with Carla, when I got a message from the Count, asking me to come back to the city by night.

I don’t know what the hell it is about, nor did he tell me about it, but it must be something very important. I just wished he would have given me a day and more.

I had come to Owlspring yesterday and planned to go to the Taveb and Ilaus, but that won’t be possible now.
