Chapter 271: Unease (1/2)
Stepping in from the blustering streets, a smile grew upon my lips as I walked into my building located in the center of this amazing city. It had been about three days since Torna had given me rights, but a wave of anxiety was plaguing my soul. It was like a constant whisper of death pressing down.
Studying the dwarves from Aze setting up, placing the last touches upon Crossroads, I eyed the exterior that held a rather modern aspect. Not bothering to follow the rest of this city's theme, I settle for a modern high-class Japanese style design. Something similar to a bar with dark lights and an open concept designed with my various products placed neatly upon the walls.
Putting a smile upon my lips, black flames sprouted from my body, startling everyone. Feeling the intense heat, I chuckled as it began consuming my entire body. Within a few moments time, I vanquish my flames, my body appearing in a magnificent crimson suit. Tieing up my hair into a neat bun, I peered towards those around, shivering with fear as a demonic air began to form.
”Now, this is much better; the sinful atmosphere truly brings out something here, don't you think so, Zanris?” I asked, turning my gaze towards the woman draped in a crimson ball gown. Her hair flowing free and wild as a fox-like fang appeared upon her lips, glimmering with a mischievous light.
”But of course, my master. However, I thought Zan was going to take care of the deals within this city?”
”you are. I am only here for opening day,” I replied, turning to the young couple pushing through the glass doors.
”Are you ready?” Torna shouted with a dark smile upon his face. ”The house of Scara has been quite busy these past few days.”
Rolling her eyes, Siva left her husband's arms leaping into Zans, kissing her cheeks, ”When did he get so cold? Not even a hello to our Zan.”
”Come now, Siva, she is no longer a part of the House of Scara. She needs...”
”Torna, I am leaving you for my Zan. She will treat me right!” Siva mournfully whimpered, wrapping her arms around Zan as she shot her husband a dirty look. ”Tell your next wife I took your virginity and that you are used goods!”
”Your wife is quite the character I see where Silvia gets her... well, her wild side from. By the way, where is she? I thought you all would have welcomed her up already.” I questioned, stroking my empty chin, wondering when I will grow some facial hair.
Snorting by Zanris's side Siva pursed her lips, ”We did, but Silvia wanted to hang with some friends instead of seeing her mama. Traitorous bitch... I mean, ungrateful girl!”
Popping my eyes out at this side of Siva, her husband shook his head, ”This is what I married into. Both of them are... are a lot. Watch out, Arsene, in the cultivation world, women grow crazier and crazier with each realm they breakthrough.”
”Oh, I know the struggle already... most of... No! all the women by my side are insane. Everything that happens around me goes to shit,” I spat, getting cold glares from both Zan and Siva.
Turning my head in a hurry, I waved towards the one-eyed dwarf, ”Is everything ready?”
”Aye, my lord, your or I guess Zanris room in the back for contracts has been completed, and the stockpile of weapons and spiral relics from Aze have been procured. Security, on the other hand, is quite poor.”
”You shall not worry about that,” Torna coldly stated, ”This building is protected. You just cannot see it! Believe me when I say we are prepared!”
