After performing the ascension talent, Aaron asked Misa to apany him. It was alreadyte afternoon, many item shops were closed, but it was different with the food shops that were open. Still, Aaron was too tired to go through all that.


    He thought of finding an inn to rest for a while. Misa was asked toe along for Aaron''s safety. He was worried that if Misa left without his watch, she could go to the headquarters of the three major groups and reveal Aaron''s location.


    Arriving at the inn''s room on the second floor, Aaron put away his bag and looked ahead as he opened the room''s window. The lights began to shine on the city''s main street, a few people passed by to visit the food shops.


    "How do you have two high-rank talents?" asked Misa, sitting on the edge of the bed while looking at Aaron''s back.


    "You don''t have to know about that."


    Aaron turned his body around and stood leaning against the window frame of the room, looking straight at Misa with his arms crossed.


    "You''re my captive. If you obey everything I say, maybe I''ll let you live."


    "I can''t do anything. You managed to defeat my talent. If I try again, I might get seriously injured," Misa replied resignedly while looking away.@@novelbin@@


    The young man stared intently. He stepped closer to Misa until he was standing right before her. His strong hand reached forward, grasping her chin and making her gasp.


    Misa''s heart fluttered uncertainly, not from love or liking but fear. Aaron smiled bitterly, feeling the lines of fear clearly imprinted on the woman.


    "You''re a smart woman. However, I will never be fooled by your innocence."


    "Words can deceive, eyes can trick. Yet, the heart certainly cannot."


    "I know the ce to make you obey!"


    Misa was scared, asionally swallowing her saliva deeply with her hands and feet trembling in fear. She didn''t know what Aaron was going to do to her, hoping it wasn''t something that could put her life in danger.


    Aaron pulled Misa''s hand, asking her to leave the ce. Misa could only agree; no one could save her from Aaron''s clutches. It was already her fault for knowing Aaron''s identity.


    Misa looked at Aaron''s direction towards the City Guild Office. Even though it waste at night, the guild office was still operational. The staff took turns in their shifts.


    Stay tuned for updates on empire


    The door of the guild office opened. Aaron saw Liscia there, sitting casually behind the reception desk. She was having a casual conversation with her coworkers.


    Seeing the visitor, one of Liscia''s coworkers nudged Liscia''s hand. The woman''s attention returned to the front, knowing who the man who had just visited was.


    "Lewis? Are you taking a quest?"


    Aaron shook his head. His arrival was not to take a quest but to ask Liscia something. Previously, Liscia made it clear that she would help with any information. In short, Liscia knew a lot about city life.


    "It''s not about the quest," Aaron replied.


    "Then?"


    "Do you know where to sell ves?"


    Aaron''s words shocked the woman at the reception desk, a person who was thought to be innocent and polite and new to the tenth floor, nning to visit such a shameful ce. Liscia turned her head to the side, watching Misa bow in helpless resignation.


    Liscia exhaled. She came out from behind the reception desk and stepped closer to Aaron. As promised to Aaron, Liscia had to show him the ce of very.


    "I don''t know what you''re nning, but selling women into very without any legalities will definitely make you a fugitive from the White Temr."


    "White Temr?" asked Aaron.


    "I''ll exin as we walk."


    As the three walked away from the guild office, people started gossiping about Lewis'' bad attitude. He was justing to the tenth floor of the city for the first time, but he was already interested in very.


    Along the way, Liscia told him about the White Temr. The White Temrs were a special military group formed by the City Cathedral, filled with adventurers whose main element was light. They served at the behest of the Great Elder, eradicating crime and immorality in the city.


    ''So, they''re simr to a fanatic group, huh?" Aaron asked.


    "Their existence has spread to all ces in the city. I''ll show you the way to the very grounds. For the rest, you''ll have to go on your own."


    "I understand."


    After stopping in front of a small and dark alley, Liscia said goodbye right after telling Aaron the exact location of the very ce. Aaron nodded as he thanked her.


    They both bravely stepped into the dark alley. As Liscia had said, they should turn when they reached the first intersection.


    After turning, Aaron squinted to see a secluded shop with red-colored lights filling the ce.


    "Is this the ce?" asked Aaron, still clutching Misa''s hand.


    "Are you gonna sell me into very?" asked Misa, Aaron didn''t answer.


    They stepped inside and were met by a woman dressed in a sexy ck outfit, disying her uncovered thighs and cleavage. She lookedfortable in such an outfit.


    "Wee. Do you need an item?" asked the shop assistant.


    "Tell me, can you make ve seals?" asked Aaron.


    The woman before Aaron narrowed her eyes, then her focus fell to the side to look at Misa. A big smile was clearly on her face. She guessed that Aaron wanted to make Misa his sex ve.


    "Of course I can. Do you want the low or strong type?" asked the sexy woman. Aaron answered with the strong type of ve seal.


    "I want a ve seal that can make her die when breaking my orders."


    "Wait. I promise I won''t—"


    "Will you shut up?!" said Aaron. Misa fell silent with her head bowed, tears flowing from her innocent eyes.


    ''What a poor woman. Her life ended up in the hands of this jerk.''


    ''But business is still business. As long as he pays, then I will fulfill his request,'' the sexy woman exined.


    She took Aaron and Misa into one of the rooms. There, chairs and tables were set up with magic equipment to imnt ve seals. The woman exined the steps to perform the ve seal.


    First, Aaron had to drip a speck of his blood into a bowl of magic ink. After that, the woman would smear the ink on Misa''s breast.


    The process of forming the ve seal would begin andst a few seconds, but it could cause a burning sensation on Misa''s breast.


    Right after it was formed, Aaron was required to say a few important sentences, an order for Misa that must not be vited. It was a crucial moment as it rted to Misa''s life and death.


    Aaron was ready, and so was Misa. Misa sat on the chair with her head bowed in surrender, letting the sexy woman unbutton the top two buttons of her dress, Misa''s cleavage exposed to Aaron''s eyes.


    The young man cut the tip of his finger and then dripped the blood into the magic ink bowl. Once ready, the sexy woman smeared the ink in a circle on Misa''s chest. Misa groaned in pain, whimpering as she closed her eyes.


    "Alright. The ve seal process is about to take shape; you''d better start thinking of an order for her."


    Aaron nodded. He was ready with an absolute order from her. He was sure that Misa would not be burdened by the order.


    [ATTENTION!]


    [You have made a ve seal with someone]


    [ve''s name: Misa]


    [Age: 23]


    [Talent: Beauty Persona]


    [ves will always obey their master''s orders]


    A ve panel containing Misa''s identity appeared before Aaron. The sexy woman said that once the ve seal had been formed, it was time for Aaron to give Misa his orders.


    "Remember, the orders must be firm and do not be long-winded."


    Aaron nodded. He directed Misa''s reddened eyes to look at him.


    "Misa! I order you not to reveal my identity to anyone through speech, writing, or gesture."


    The ve circle glowed red with ancient writing inside. The sexy woman gasped, not expecting that Aaron wanted to enve her to keep her mouth shut.


    "Wait! You don''t want to make her your sex ve?" she asked.


    "I''m not a man like that!"
