The Manasvir Empire’s capital, Macnadix City, western district, Radekz Secret Market. Two of the human underworld’s major criminal organizations, the Blood Skull and the Horrorshow Group, were facing off against each other. The Blood Skull was an assassin organization that mainly dealt in taking hits; they were closer to the underworld gangs back on earth. The Horrorshow Group, on the other hand, was a slave trafficking organization, similar to human trafficking organizations.
The two sides were headed by the oldest young mistresses of each family, the Blood Skull by Blood Berserker Miss Veronica and the Horrorshow Group by the Shadow Warrior, Miss Inie. Veronica had long red hair with red eyes, a hot sexy body—tall and bodacious—with an unruly personality. She liked throwing tempers, which was coincidental with her profession as a berserker. On Veronica’s back was a large blade, rumored to be stained deep red due to the countless enemies she had killed.
The young mistress of the Horrorshow Group, Inie, had long, snow-white hair, light blue irises, slender figure, and pallid complexion bordering on sickly. Her body didn’t look too well, giving her a sort of morbid beauty. Indeed, Inie wasn’t in good health. She couldn’t even wear the light armor of a warrior. In contrast to Veronica, she looked more like a wealthy young miss than a warrior.
The two underworld young mistresses were beautiful young ladies. Besides, they were also nominal students of Olsylvia Academy, being listed as students of the central Frank Civilian Academy. They were problem students who didn’t go to class. Who knew whether it was fate or misfortune that Bella had bumped into them?
Both sides had similar numbers of lackeys, but Veronica’s fighting power was slightly below that of the Shadow Warrior Inie. Inie looked like a sickly young miss, making things a little difficult for Veronica. If they were to get in a real conflict, whether she won or lost, she would take a hit to her reputation. If she lost, it proved she couldn’t even beat a sick person, but if she won, she would be notorious for bullying sick people.
It had to be said that Bella’s timely entrance had helped Veronica step down from this dilemma. Although Bella was now dressed as an attendant, both of them knew who Chairman Sally Roy in their team was. Chairman of the Eye of Darkness, Sally Roy, the iconic cross-dressing woman. Besides Chairman Sally Roy, nobody in the underworld actually liked such a dressing.
Their focus was instantly set on Chairman Sally Roy. Bella was acting as an attendant, so of course, even if she was the one speaking, both Miss Veronica and Miss Inie believed that Sally Roy had appointed Bella as her mouthpiece. Chairman Sally Roy felt a little depressed. She had involved herself in the slave trade business; wasn’t Bella dragging her into it?
“Uh, so it’s Mistress Sally Roy. What suddenly inspired you to come fight over a slave with us juniors?”
“Mistress Sally Roy, I… I really need that slave. I can’t give up. That savage young mistress Veronica is so fierce. If you join the fray as well, then I’m afraid…”
“Let’s… Let’s talk inside!”
Fortunately, Chairman Sally Roy had long been used to the scene, so she quickly regained her calm. As Veronica and Inie walked into the slave shop to discuss, the special slave girl they were fighting over was brought inside as well. Bella didn’t know what to say to these two underworld young mistresses. It was already strange enough for them to be fighting over a slave girl despite both being female, so why were they also looking over with such a peculiar gaze?
Inside the slave shop, all three parties were quiet after they entered. Besides the three underworld young mistresses, the rest of their subordinates stayed outside. The only ones in the room right now were Bella, Assassin Noreya, Chairman Sally Roy of the Eye of Darkness, Blood Skull’s Young Mistress Veronica, Horrorshow Group’s Young Mistress Inie, and also General Fanny, who was being traded as a slave girl.
The other lackeys didn’t follow them in. Since this was a special underground trade between women, it was best for men not to get involved. Hence, they all waited outside for the results. Bella and Assassin and Noreya were both women, so they successfully got inside. In terms of combat ability, if Bella wanted to spoil the situation and join hands with Assassin Noreya, it wouldn’t be hard for them to defeat Berserker Veronica and Shadow Warrior Inie. However, the lackeys outside would be difficult to handle.
General Fanny had ended up getting hit by the night demons’ sneak attack. Despite bringing a thousand royal guards with her, they were ambushed by the mutated night demons on the way back. Practically all her forces were annihilated, and General Fanny was severely injured. These night demons still had some intelligence and did not kill her. Instead, they stripped her and brought her to the Radekz Secret Market to be sold off as a slave.
Beside her body’s three sensitive spots that were hidden by the white price tag and labels, Fanny was naked. Both her hands and legs were chained behind her back, and a black metal collar had been put around her neck to signify her status as a slave. Her eyes were covered by a black blindfold while a black metallic gag was inside her mouth. Besides being able to hear Bella and the others speak, she was utterly oblivious to everything else.
Of course, General Fanny knew what the Radekz Secret Market was for. Right now, fatal internal wounds plagued her body. She couldn’t gather any strength at all. To the fact that these three were trying to purchase her, General Fanny didn’t even know if she should laugh or cry. Even though she wasn’t being bought by a man, they probably weren’t good women to be buying a slave girl, right?
Along with General Fanny, a couple of her female lieutenants, all beautiful young officers, were also on sale. When the night demons attacked, they were all captured, and they were now completely naked, just like General Fanny, being tied in the humiliating “horse hoof*” position. They were fighting back a little more aggressively, as they weren’t hurt as severely. Thus, they were tied up in this “four hooves” style, which was hugely restrictive.
The slave masters of the shop walked over and temporarily undid the blindfold on Fanny and the others before they were put on the display table to show off to the buyers. Even though the slave master recognized Fanny as the empire’s general, they weren’t bothered at all. As long as they were sold out of the capital, who would know that Fanny used to be a general?
After General Fanny had a good look at the three buyers, her strong will dissipated in an instant. If this were any normal buyer, then with her identity, she might be sent back to the imperial capital after she was bought, being sold back to the Manasvir Empire for political leverage. But the Eye of Darkness, Blood Skull, and the Horrorshow Group were all ruthless underworld gangs. It was anyone’s guess whether they’d give some face to the Manasvir Empire.
Upon hearing their discussion, General Fanny was almost scared to death. The young mistress of the Blood Skull wanted to buy the slave girl because she was impressed with her strength. She wished to kill her as a blood sacrifice to dye her berserker blade red before heading to the Forest of the Wild’s Thunder Canyon to challenge the Thunder Dragon. With a sacrifice, the Thunder Dragon would be much easier to fight.
The reason why the young mistress of the Horrorshow Group wanted her, on the other hand, was even more frightening. Inie’s body was weak, and she had to kill someone in an evil ritual to rejuvenate her life every now and then. She just happened to have noticed General Fanny’s stubborn vitality.
In contrast, the beautiful assassin of the Eye of Darkness gave a much more normal reason; she simply wanted to buy a couple of slave girls for a “fresh experience”. Since General Fanny had a pretty sexy body, she decided to take her, as well as the female lieutenants. But this was still a perverted reason nonetheless. General Fanny had never thought of offering herself to be bullied by a woman and unconsciously ended up glancing over at Bella a few more times.
“How quaint, Bella. To think we are actually schoolmates. I didn’t expect you to be so familiar with Chairman Sally Roy. I think we should just kill that big sister here! Veronica and I will split her. The ritual doesn’t require blood. If you want to buy a slave girl, I’ll give you the highest-level VIP card, and you can buy yourself an even better one! I still have quite a few…”
“Well, Young Mistress Inie… I really have to take those sisters. I think it’s better for you to choose someone else for your ritual…”
Bella was discussing with the young mistress, Shadow Warrior Inie of the Horrorshow Group. To tell the truth, she felt that the reason Inie was so sickly was most likely because of the Horrorshow Group. They had done so much evil that even their descendants were cursed. While watching at the side, Veronica secretly reached for the large blade at her back.
“Don’t move, Student Veronica!”
“You… When did you… Impossible. Even President Ivy didn’t…”
Assassin Noreya could tell that Veronica wanted to get the first swing. Flashing behind Veronica, she placed her dagger lightly on her neck, causing Veronica’s hands that were going to pull her sword out to freeze. In Veronica’s memories, even the strongest Assassin in Olsylvia Academy, Olivia Wizard Academy’s student union president, Assassin Ivy, didn’t have the ability to sneak behind someone that fast. This mysterious girl actually surpassed President Ivy.
“Bella, you… you two are hiding way too much! Let’s talk about this normally…”
“Miss Inie, I have ways for you to recover that don’t require these evil rituals. Could you give up on this young miss and let me have her?”
“I… Can I even refuse? Bella, you really do have the talent for our profession!”
Bella figured that Inie would also try the same “kill before talking” sort of thing, so she reached out her left hand to press down Young Mistress Inie’s right arm, suppressing her with her great strength. Inie had a protective sword aura around her body, so assassins wouldn’t generally dare to do this. Clearly, Bella was concealing her prowess if she could resist her protective aura with just her body.
“This is the Breath of Life! A very strong precious object! How did you get this? This is supposed to be a God’s…”
“I’ll give that to you. You can use it to suppress the aura of death around your body. I’ll find someone to bless and heal you next time..”
“Alright, I’ll stop. However, if we run into each other on the map of the qualifier’s hunting grounds, I’ll have to take revenge! Nobody has dared to bully me this way my whole life!”
“It’s alright, I never refuse a challenge from a girl. I hope you can give me some pointers when the time comes, Young Mistress Inie.”
Bella took out the tears from the Goddess of Life. This mysterious potion inside the specially made crystal bottle could significantly increase a person’s life force, which was much better than the evil rituals Inie had used in the past to rejuvenate herself. In front of this precious object, Inie was the first to give up. She had decided not to participate in the qualifying competition this time, but Bella’s appearance rekindled her fighting spirit.
“Young Mistress Veronica, uh, if I can replace this big sister’s blood with some other better blood for your sacrifice, would you give up then?”
“Other blood… is it yours? I’m just kidding. This greatsword of mine is… It’s a demonic artifact. And it’s no good with less than one person’s blood. Wait, don’t touch my sword…This light is…”
Without any nonsense, Bella went over to Veronica’s side and lightly brushed her fingertip on the edge of Veronica’s large demonic sword. A drop of a Demon King, mixed with a Demon God’s blood, dripped onto the demonic artifact. With the help of Bella’s special blood, the demonic artifact on Veronica’s back emitted a striking red luster, instantly advancing several levels. For a moment, Veronica was speechless. What kind of godly being was this schoolmate of hers for her to awaken a demonic artifact with just one drop of blood? This was insane.
“Bella, what the hell are you… This demonic artifact has been handed down by my great-grandfather and hasn’t advanced in several generations. You…”
“Student Veronica, don’t ask so many questions. So, can I see that map on your belt? I’ll give it back to you after I have a look at it!”
“Sure, but you’ll have to remember to give it back!”
Veronica may be unruly, but she still respected the strong. Bella easily got her hands on the sheepskin map of the Forest of the Wild. Her original plan was to snatch it by force, but Veronica didn’t throw any tantrums. If she used force, even Bella would feel a little bad about doing it. After some thought, she unfurled the sheepskin map and took a few pictures with her replica camera that she always brought with her. She then returned it to Veronica.
This replica camera was a product that Bella had previously commissioned from the Mechanical Creator Andrea, and it worked the same as a camera back on earth. After taking a picture of the map, her mission was considered complete. Bella walked to General Fanny’s side and put the blindfold back on her, marking a successful transaction. General Fanny’s other beautiful female lieutenants were then attached as a gift for Bella.
“Thank you, Bella… If I have the opportunity, I’ll challenge you in this qualifying competition. Inie, let me pay the bill for these slave girls.”
“Hmph, are you going to snatch my opportunity at gaining a favor, Veronica? When did I say that these slave girls needed money? Bella, just take them as gifts, even though I have no idea what you’re buying these women for!”
“Right, Bella. This big sister with the purple hair seems to be General Fanny of the empire. Would you like me to arrange for someone to give her a dose of muting potion? Then she’ll never be able to speak again. Or maybe we can cripple her… After all, she’s a big shot. In case she runs away…”
“Hold it, Inie. It’s better if you stop doing such bad things. I’ll find a way to deal with that myself…”
Seeing that General Fanny was already shaking with fear, Bella had to plan for Young Mistress Inie’s “terrifying words”. Inie was much darker than Veronica, and she intended to correct her bad habits given the opportunity, lest she was influenced by the terrible style of the Horrorshow Group. In the end, Bella obtained the rights to Fanny and the others without spending a single penny. Both Veronica and Inie insisted on not taking any money from Bella. If she persisted, it would be disrespectful. She could only comply with their wishes.
Thus, a dispute that had almost turned into a full-blown gang war was resolved by Bella and Assassin Noreya’s forcible intervention. Both Young Mistress Veronica and Young Mistress Inie took a step back after accepting the “special bribe” from Bella. They also made an appointment to contest with each other during the qualifying competition before they left. The gangsters who had been waiting outside could only depart helplessly.
Since her mission was complete, Bella forwent her plan on continuing her “prowl” at Radekz Secrete Market. She’d just have to continue her “gentleman’s journey” when she had a chance in the future. She, Assassin Noreya, and Chairman Sally Roy brought General Fanny and the others back to Christian Hotel on a carriage. The city was quiet as usual. The attack on General Fanny had been kept secret by the top brass of the empire, so nobody had heard a single thing.
The Manasvir Empire’s capital, Macnadix City’s western district, inside the Christian Hotel’s fifth floor isolated room, General Fanny was led directly to this secret room to be “enjoyed” after she was brought back by Bella. Bella cleverly excused Assassin Noreya, Chairman Sally Roy, and the others with the justifiable reason of helping Fanny and the others deal with their injuries.
The secret room was filled with the scent of lilies. General Fanny had her fair thighs spread naturally apart after her hands were bound behind her back and placed on the snow-white bed. All the material covering her body had been taken off. On the upper four corners of this mega bed were the young and beautiful female lieutenants, who were strung up in the air in their original humiliating “four hooves” position. They had already been injected with an arousing potion, and their faces were now all red, their bodies sweating charmingly. All the coverings on their body were removed as well.
By the side of the bed was Imperial Envoy Amy, Prime Minister Anna, as well as Archmage Ronnie, all of them kneeling obediently without a single thread of clothing. Their eyes were covered by red cloths, with red collars around their necks attached to three thin chains linking to the bed. Even though they weren’t restricted, Amy and the others have clearly been “conquered”, as they would not escape even without restrictions.
“Envoy Amy, Prime Minister Anna, Archmage Ronnie… You are…! Who on earth are you?! No… Don’t come near me! Help… Anyone, please…”
General Fanny looked in horror at Bella. This golden-haired beauty had already removed all her clothes and was walking to the bed with a wicked grin on her face, a vial of strange potion, and a syringe in hand. Even though they were all women, General Fanny still caved in.
“Big Sister Fanny, stop screaming. No one will hear you here even if you scream your lungs out. It’ll be bad if you hurt your throat. You’ll be just like Amy and the others later. So, do you want to drink it, or do you want it as an injection? Or both…”
“No… Please, wait… Ugh…”
Before General Fanny could finish speaking, she was forced to hold the vial in her mouth. The syringe in hand, Bella walked behind her with a wicked grin on her face…
