Novel Bin Chapter 54 - A Collaboration Pitch
PLEASURE INN...
The most exclusive brothel in Salmon city. Not the only one for there were many, it was just (in regards to general opinion) the best, with exotic ladies available for any sexual kink you might have.
However regardless of how wealthy an individual might be, without at least a cultivation base at the Cosmic pearl Realm, there would be no entry.
No one would ever dare flout the rules or get on the bad sides of those who work at the Pleasure inn unless absolutely necessary because of the one who stood at its helm.
She created the pleasure inn 19 years prior and it soon rose in value. She was raking in gold, but there was only one issue that stomped all. No one knew who she was or how strong she was.
From the moment the Pleasure inn was operational, she always wore a mask. She was soon dubbed \'The masked lady\'.
In a luxurious room on the top floor of the Pleasure inn, said lady lounged on an expensive sofa. Her legs stretched on its beautiful fabric.
The lady\'s jeweled blue mask covered all of her face except her perfect red lips. Her figure was a picture of perfection as her lounging position emphasized her curves. Her tight fitting garment showing off her ample bosom along with her deep plunge cleavage.
A lady walked into the room balancing a tray and on it was a glass of wine Which the masked lady picked as soon as it was in her proximity.
She took a sip and released a moan of pleasure before she returned it to the tray and turned to the one who stood before her to deliver a report while the wine bearer put down the tray and retreated
"After checking our coffers, there seems to be enough to participate in the auction and there\'s even a chance we could win it" The lady said but The masked lady simply nodded her head to show she was paying attention however the information did not seem to cause her to feel the same sense of relief the reporting lady felt.
"Camilla, there are so many who would partake in this auction. It\'s not exclusive so it\'s open to everyone, counting our chicks before they hatch is very dangerous right now" The masked lady said in a cautioning voice
"I was too impetuous in my words, I\'m sorry my lady" Camilla bowed
The masked lady shook her head "it\'s fine. What I really want to know is who killed the Holgers" she said in a gentle musing voice
"Maybe it really was the Devil" She said in a joky voice
She might have meant it as a joke but Camilla was really considering it at least for a while until a more likely suspect came to mind...
"It might be Kael Holger, his body was never found right?" She pointed out but the masked lady shook her head
"No, I doubt it, he was only at the Cosmic pearl realm and while he was good with words, he was far from being a mastermind. Besides if he had something to do with it, why not come out to claim the Holger Estate as the sole survivor" The masked lady refitted
"But what if the shame is holding him back, or maybe fear of how he would be received" Camilla reasoned
"The day the Holger family was killed, a conference was held to decide what to do with their property, does that seem like a justice oriented decision to you?" The masked lady asked quietly
"No. No it doesn\'t" Camilla sighed
"I am a bit curious of the reason behind the attack" The lady mused mostly to herself
"Oh and we have been having an influx of gate crashers lately" Camilla informed her
"Gate crashers?"
"Yes, their cultivation is none existent but they somehow manage to sneak in drunk"
"Very well, the next time they come in, castrate them. If they don\'t have their tools they won\'t have an incentive to come in here" The masked lady waved the issue aside
"That seems a little harsh" a chuckling voice sounded in the room suddenly
The masked lady and Camilla spread their senses throughout the room but came up empty in their search.
A sudden shimmer revealed a black haired young man with deep blue eyes and perfect features wearing a tight blue robe that showed off his muscled physique as he sat comfortably in the armchair across the room.
The youth\'s face was more than enough to make any woman swoon, the scent coming off his body was enough to perfect the seduction.
He was of course Hal.
The information he received told him of the Pleasure Inn\'s possible involvement in the auction and so he came the next day to propose a partnership.
He also decided to use it to test run the most recent ability he received from Grimiore as an -upset victory package- following his victory over the Holgers :- {Invisibility}.
An ability that allowed him to hide his presence from anyone two realms above him as long as he did not reveal his cultivation base.
When Camilla saw the youth, for some reason her whole being craved him which considering who she was, embarrassed her. She should have more control over her body.
"Hal Payne. To what do I owe this pleasure" The masked lady watched him closely and unblinkingly in such a way that would have made anyone uncomfortable but Hal was not just anyone...
He stood up and moved the armchair closer so as to look her right in the eye
"I have always been interested in this inn so I thought to pay you a visit" He replied with a perfect smile
"By sneaking in?" She asked with her eyebrows raised
"Yeah, I was working on something"
"Your eavesdropping skills?"
"Whoa, I just got here. I only heard the last part and as it concerns me I had to intervene" Hal said in a dutiful voice that almost caused Grimiore to mind-barf.
"Concerned... Oh I see, those drunks are yours"
"Affirmative"
"You should know the rules though, they don\'t fall under the category allowed in here" The masked lady told him while she studied him carefully
"Oh they weren\'t here for your ladies, they were here for the little bits of information they could get" Hal rectified the misunderstanding with a stroke of his jaw
"Information?"
"Yes information. Like the fact that you plan to bid for the Holger estate" Since he was here for a potential partnership, he might as well get to the point
The masked lady waved her hand to prompt him to continue
"I came here to offer a collaboration"
"A collaboration on what?"
"The auction" Hal told her
"I believe I have enough wealth to acquire the estate on my own. I\'m quite interested in turning that estate into Pleasure inn\'s base. So I don\'t need your help" she said while Hal watched her false confidence and smiled inwardly.
\'She wants to hear my pitch\'
"You underestimate the Great families. They decided to make this auction -open to all- that tells a lot about their confidence in out bidding everyone"
"True. Lets Say I do join you, who gets the Estate should we win" She asked as she sat up
"I suggest a merger"
She chuckled and shook her head "Merging with you could be dangerous. You might have some breathing room now but there still remains a target in your back. Besides, killing Rad Payne, for all the trouble it got you, is not enough of an accomplishment to convince me"
"Killing Rad Payne was nothing, but what if I happen to be the reason the Holger estate is up for auction"
The mask lady mused at the implication of those words and shrugged "You will still need to prove yourself"
"How? If I may ask"
"How good are you with your hands" she asked with a small smile
"Very" Hal said with a smile of his own
"I have been feeling a little tense lately, so how about a massage"
"I would be honored"
The masked lady gestured to Camilla who retreated to bring in a massage table after which she gave the duo some privacy.
The masked lady stood up and stripped herself. Hal watched as she bared her perfect skin, her perfect large and perky breast and her shapely ass and then lay on the massage table.
Hal was very much aware that he was viewing the body of the most coveted woman in Salmon city. A woman no man in Salmon city had ever been good enough for.
"I\'m ready" she said in a stable voice even as her body was bared to Hal\'s covetous looks.
"Good" Hal said and stood up to move to the side of the table.
Hal began by working his hands on her joints as he kneaded her flesh.
"Mmmh" She moaned as Hal\'s hands worked all over her body.
Hal\'s hand went lower and he cupped her ass and kneaded the pliant and perfect flesh that rippled whenever he smacked it lightly.
The pleasure she felt from those hands caused her to moan continuously as her \'tensed\' muscles relaxed
"Do you like that?" Hal asked and a moan from her would serve as an answer
"Okay, time to kick things up a notch" Hal smiled in a way that would have caused her to shiver (in a good way) had she seen it
Hal initiated {Erogenous touch} and turned her on her back before he touched her nipple with a finger, causing her to instantaneously shudder as her inner thighs began to moisten at breakneck speed
"ohhh, what is happening to me? Ahnnn" She moaned as her nipples turned hard.
Hal smiled down at the lady who suddenly realized she might have bitten more than she could chew before he raised his hands to her breasts and kneaded the mounds.
