Chapter 36: Blood of the Enchantress? Blood of the Knight!
"Not right, not right, not right."
Loria was dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of the contents displayed by the simulator.
Seeing herself becoming extremely cautious in the simulator and choosing to take the initiative to attack, wanting to prove her abilities, should have been a very joyful thing.
However…
Loria, why did you suddenly NTR the proprietor?
This was truly too disappointing…wait a minute, actually, this doesn't seem too bad.
Miss Loria's gaze sharpened.
Setting aside whether the mature lady enjoyed the closeness and comfort, just like in the simulator, now she could coerce the lonely proprietor's wife to do her bidding.
The proprieter's wife always stayed by the proprieter's side, and the secrets she knew must be much deeper than what Guildmaster Adeline and Miss Plump Sheep had uncovered!
"Not venturing into the tiger's den, how can one obtain tiger cubs? The current progress is the reward for my brave decision to enter the tiger's den!"
Loria nodded earnestly, her face filled with determination.
She admired the unconventional approach, taking the path of the proprieter's wife, leaving the proprieter with no choice but to follow her.
Though the road was winding, both the journey and the destination at the end were very satisfying.
So this is the thrill of revenge, right?
The only thing that caught her off guard was the proprieter's wife's attitude.
Without even resisting, she agreed directly. Could there be a trick hidden in all of this?
In the simulator, she seemed to realize this as well.
After using a prop to make the proprieter's wife faint, she hid and observed the proprieter's wife.
And then she discovered something astonishing: after the proprieter's wife woke up, she sat by the window, smiling foolishly like a teenage girl in love.
"?"
[That evening, the proprieter proudly informed you that Creek Town had been destroyed. You had no way back, and you were filled with resentment. As you were about to leave, the proprieter's wife handed you a note, informing you that the proprieter would not be at home the next day.]
[After returning to your residence, you felt that something was amiss. You asked Guildmaster Adeline to help you investigate the relationship between the proprieter and his wife.]
[Day 23: You played some challenging games with the proprieter's wife. In the midst of it, she revealed to you that for the past two years, the proprieter had been in contact with certain mysterious individuals, often staying out late into the night.]
[The proprieter's wife also told you that she had married the proprieter. Since marrying him, she had felt empty, which was why she had bought a large number of props. Now, you were allowing her to experience a newfound sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.]
[You felt too embarrassed to continue pressuring the proprieter's wife, but she willingly offered to help you steal the proprieter's private letters.]
[Day 24: You had a secret rendezvous with the proprieter's wife. In the afternoon, the people from Claren Late Night News threatened you, saying that they would use force if you didn't repay your debts soon.]
On the 25th day, Loria learned from Guildmaster Adeline that the proprieter's wife had not lied.
That evening, she went to play with the proprieter's wife once again.
However, halfway through the play, the proprieter suddenly came back, and she was so scared that she hid inside the closet.
The proprieter, upon entering the room, glanced at the toys on the bed, as well as the damp sheets.
Luckily, the proprieter didn't think much of it.
However, the proprieter's wife suffered, as the proprieter scolded her harshly.
"You discontented scoundrel!"
"If you dare to cause trouble for me, don't blame me for tearing off your face, don't even think about using your dad to threaten me. When I get annoyed, I will take care of both of you!"
"Go away!"
As he was leaving, he even kicked the proprietor's wife, showing absolutely no compassion towards the affectionate proprietor's wife.
"What is this iron man?"
After reading the simulated content, Loria was perplexed.
From the excitement she showed while using the simulator, it was clear that the proprietor's wife must be very beautiful. Not only that, but she must also have an excellent figure and be very outgoing and playful. However, the proprietor showed absolutely no interest in his wife.
[After the proprieter walked away, you emerged from the wardrobe, comforting the proprietor's wife while tending to her wounds.]
[After tending to her wounds, the proprietor's wife started behaving like a madwoman, demanding your attention. Exhausted and unable to move, she informed you that the stolen letters were hidden under the bed.]
Having successfully obtained the letters, but Loria couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt in her heart.
But now is not the time to worry about that.
In the simulator, she silently opened those letters. There was no signature on the letters, but from the addresses mentioned in them, it was clear that they were discussing Creek Town and Claren City.
The contents of the letters were written in a confusing manner, making it difficult for ordinary people to understand. At first glance, it seemed to be discussing animal trades, talking about new arrivals and expressing satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
But as soon as Loria, who had visited the slaughterhouse before, took a glimpse, she immediately recognized what it was.
The so-called "silkworm" refers to the girls whose limbs have been severed.
The so-called "mole" refers to the girls or monster girls whose eyes have been blinded.
With just a glance, Loria could feel her blood igniting, as the succubus blood within her transformed into the blood of a knight.
Before, she only knew that the proprieter and the prison's chief were connected, but little did she imagine that their connection could run so deep.
The proprieter is the customer of that slave trading organization, not just any customer, but also acts as an intermediary on this side of Claren City!
"No wonder he is not interested in the proprieter's wife at all, this despicable person is no longer human!"
Loria became very angry.
She seemed to see a large web spreading out in front of her.
Although she had long understood that the slave trading organization had many customers, the identity of the customers still exceeded her expectations.
They could be wealthy merchants, noble individuals, or even people in positions of power.
The problems on the side of the slave trading organization were certainly not small.
"The deputy director happened to be the unlucky guy caught by me. The chief, who doesn't seem like a real boss, could only be bossed around by that person in Creek Town."
[The Mayor]
Loria didn't have direct evidence to prove that the Mayor was the big boss.
But, can you think of anyone else?
Even though it was possible that it could be someone unremarkable in everyday life, the probability of that was too small.
Loria felt a little dizzy.
The current mayor of Creek Town hasn't been in office for long, but in just a few years under his leadership, the town's economy and public safety have significantly improved.
This is closely related to his efforts in attracting businesses and conducting surprise inspections in the red-light district from time to time.
"If the mastermind behind the scenes is really him, then those businessmen he brought in are likely his customers. And his sudden inspection of the red-light district is just a way to hide his wrongdoing."
At no moment had Loria felt her thoughts so clear.
She temporarily suppressed her anger and continued to observe the unfolding events.
Upon receiving the letter, she didn't immediately discard the proprieter's wife. Instead, she carefully helped the proprieter's wife with bathing and changing clothes.
During this process, the proprieter's wife vaguely realized what the proprieter was doing.
She sighed, hugging her knees.
"You can go ahead and do it, without worrying about my feelings."
"I am very happy to meet you, not only because you are incredibly talented, which makes me want to love you all the time, but also because you truly care about me."
"Thank you for being with me these few days, allowing me to experience happiness that I haven't felt in a long time."
"I know that we can't be together, so… I won't bother you anymore."
[You hesitated, but the proprieter's wife allowed you to leave, because the proprieter could come back at any time.]
[In the end, you departed and on the nearby streets, you encountered Guildmaster Adeline. Guildmaster Adeline asked if you had made any discoveries. Feeling guilty, you admitted that you did and handed over the letter. Guildmaster Adeline didn't inquire how you obtained the letter.]
"Being kind to one person may hurt another person, right?"
So, whether it's playing games or in real life, trying to find a perfect ending is very difficult!
Next, the trio in the simulation took action, followed the proprietor, and exposed his wrongdoing on the spot, leading to his execution on the gallows.
But unfortunately, the case couldn't continue any further.
On one hand, Creek Town had been destroyed, causing the evidence over there to vanish, and on the other hand, they encountered powerful resistance.
Loria clenched her fist tightly.
That was just a simulation, in reality, she still had a chance to pursue a perfect ending!
