Chapter 1565: Virtuoso’s Special Technique

The four-faced individual sat on a black metal throne, toying with a storage ring in his hand. All four of his faces wore thoughtful expressions.

“It’s been a long time since you last had that look on your faces.” A voice suddenly drifted in from the palace door, followed by the crisp, clear clack of high heels against the ground, approaching from a distance.

“Yes…” The four-faced individual’s four faces let out a low sigh almost simultaneously.

“I just saw Gildy going out.” The lady in heels slowly made her way over to the four-faced individual. She was a female succubus. To be precise, even among succubi, her figure and attractiveness were still considered top-notch. “If I’m not mistaken, this has something to do with him, doesn’t it?”

The four-faced individual fell silent for a moment before he turned his gaze to the succubus. “I suspect that he’s lying to me.”

“Gildy?!” The tone of the succubus’ voice raised slightly. “With his intelligence, do you think that’s even possible? Moreover, if I’m not wrong, wasn’t he was one of the first ones to throw his lot in with you?”

“I didn’t think it would be possible as well, but he has indeed lied to me today.” The four-faced individual was very certain of this.

“Why not tell me what exactly happened, and I’ll listen.” The succubus made her way over to the four-faced individual and sat down cross-legged on the ground in front of the throne. Tilting her head up to look at the four-faced individual, she smiled faintly.

The four-faced individual fell silent for a brief moment before slowly beginning to speak.

“I had him look for something for me. I actually left on him some means by which he would sense the object I wanted whenever it showed up in his vicinity, and I would sense it as well on my end.

“Three days ago, I definitely sensed that item showing up somewhere in his surroundings. However, when he returned this time, whatever he passed to me didn’t include that particular object.”

“How did he explain that?” The succubus asked, smiling.

“He said that he was certain he sensed something from a specific item, but someone else bought it before he could get his hands on it. He offered a high price so he could acquire the object, but the original purchaser refused to agree.”

“Isn’t that very normal?” The succubus raised her brows, “Or are you blaming him for not forcibly acquiring the item?”

The four-faced individual did not answer this question, continuing instead, “Given Gildy’s character, in the past, he would always do his best to complete the missions I gave him. He would steal, plunder, and kill to obtain the things I wanted. He wouldn’t give up just because the other party refused to trade. Something must have happened between Gildy and that person.”

“Didn’t you ask for any details?”

“No. If he’s unwilling to tell me, it makes no sense for me to ask. He might not tell the truth even if I did pursue the matter.” The four-faced individual shook his head slightly.

“What are you planning to do then? Dispose of him?” The succubus asked in a seemingly careless fashion.

“I’ll get someone to watch him first to see if they can find out anything useful,” the four-faced individual said blandly.

“Take a bath and relax; stop always thinking about things that worry you.” The succubus rose and approached the four-faced individual. Wave after wave of ripples began emanating from her narrow eyes, and a light fragrance began to waft through the air.

The four-faced individual’s breathing grew heavier. All four faces had their eyes closed, allowing the fragrance to drift into their nostrils. He only opened his eyes a while later. “You little imp. Wasn’t all that tussling around last night enough for you?”

The succubus said nothing. She merely smiled slightly and extended her hand to investigate the four-faced individual’s chest. Her fingers, soft and seemingly boneless, wandered over his body, teasing his desire.

The four-faced individual did not stop her either. He closed his eyes, indulging himself in these intoxicating ministrations.

Before very long, the succubus’ ministrations abruptly stopped. The four-faced individual opened his eyes and discovered that, without realizing it, he had arrived at the side of the bathtub with her. Moreover, the succubus was already completely undressed and right in front of him.

For a moment, the four-faced individual could hardly tear his eyes away.

He allowed the succubus to take off his clothes, one item at a time until finally, he was left without a stitch on. Even his storage ring had been taken off by the succubus and set to one side…

Hot steam bubbled up from the bath, and mist roiled.

The two figures—one muscular, another buxom—were gradually swallowed up in the mist…

Almost at the same time, in an abandoned building a considerable distance away, the corners of Virtuoso’s lips quirked up slightly.

A full set of clothing gradually coalesced in their hands. This even included shoes, socks, and several accessories like a few rings.

“This is…?” Lin Huang and Saber9’s expressions were full of incredulity.

They retreated a few steps, hastily distancing themselves from Virtuoso. This was because the two of them clearly scented the pungent odor of smelly feet.

When they caught a whiff of that odor, their expressions at present were even more peculiar as they glanced at Virtuoso.

Virtuoso frowned as well. Hurriedly, they blocked their sense of smell and explained, “These are the four-faced individual’s clothes. Everything he wore today is here.”

“How did you manage this?” Lin Huang’s face was full of shock. This was the first time he had heard that someone could strip another person naked from a distance.

Such ability was nothing short of incredible!

Even Saber9, standing off to one side, wore an expression of utter incomprehension.

“I managed to subjugate someone close to him and replaced his clothes when he was taking a bath,” Virtuoso explained, sounding very pleased with themselves.

“Won’t that be discovered?” Lin Huang asked.

“On such short notice, definitely not. First of all, I made a copy of his clothes and left them in their original spot when I made the exchange. Secondly, the person that I made use of is a succubus. He won’t be leaving the bathtub any time soon…”

Lin Huang and Saber9 came to a sudden realization when they heard the term ‘succubus.’

Monsters like succubi had desires that were far more powerful than most species and could maintain an intense mating period for a long time. As long as they wanted to, they could even have intercourse continuously for a few months at a time

Many people were aware that, in reality, succubi had no definite gender. They could be male, female, and could even transform into other species. (They would have an initial gender when they were born, but they could change their forms and genders at will.)

Many monsters with strong desires would be willing to date lovers like the succubi.

This was not just because succubi could transform into members of the same tribe species; for a great many more, it was because every day they could experience something new and fresh.

Even an ambitious and ruthless man like the four-faced individual was unable to reject a succubus who completely conformed to his aesthetic.

Furthermore, since Virtuoso had managed to subjugate the succubus, this meant that if nothing went wrong, whatever time the four-faced individual got out of the bathtub depended entirely on when Virtuouso wanted to let him out of the bath.

“The four-faced individual would never place something like the castellan’s seal very far from his person. It’s either in his storage equipment or somewhere very close to himself.” As Virtuoso spoke, they held up the clothes in their hands.

“What if he refined it and integrated it into his body?” Lin Huang asked at once.

Before Virtuoso could reply, Saber9—who was beside them—answered the question.

“The castellan’s seal can’t be refined if it’s in a fragmented state. There’s only one legitimate authority in every phantom city, and only one will is acknowledged and accepted, so only the fully whole castellan’s seal can be refined. Although one can make use of the power of the castellan’s seal with just a single fragment to build and modify a phantom city, they only have control of the phantom city, not ownership of it. One can only legitimately have ownership of a phantom city if they have refined the castellan’s seal in its fully whole state.”

Something suddenly occurred to Saber9 after he finished his explanation.

“However, if the four-faced individual placed the castellan’s seal in the God Territory within his body, it would mean that whatever we’ve done so far is wasted effort.”

Virtuoso ignored the conversation between the two and began checking through the clothes carefully.

The castellan’s seal could elude being sensed by Divine Telekinesis, so using one’s eyes to search was much more reliable in times like this.

Lin Huang and Saber9 hurried forward immediately and helped examine the clothes…
