After getting thrown out of the mansion by his father, Nelson was extremely disgruntled with his father who kept getting in the way of his happiness even though the woman had been nothing other than a bargaining chip against Zach.

“Damn! That old bastard wouldn’t even let me in the same room with her. What harm can I possibly do to her? Curse that bastard of a dark mage…why are all the women I have my eyes on in some kind of relationship with him? What kind of heavenly luck was he born with that he can be surrounded by so many beauties while I have to look for warmth in the middle of the night like a despot. One day….one day I must snatch all his women…and make him watch as I ** every last one of them in all kinds of…” Nelson’s mind was just as lecherous as his outside appearance at this moment. He was imagining himself with the various women around Zach but that only added fuel to the fire burning in his loins due to his failed attempts on Diana’s chastity.

Nelson was too pent up to plead with his father to let him stay at home. Therefore, he had no other option but to visit the flower house to relieve his manly desires rather than facing the fury of his bastard father.

Moreover, he was worried that his father would deprive him of shelter over his head if he dared to make a commotion outside his mansion this time or if he made another move on the hostage, Diana, again. He knew his father’s temper after all.

A few guards followed after him for protection considering the situation with the Smith family, as he made his way towards the most high-end flower garden of Byzantium city where he could pluck up all the flowers in his sight and no one would dare to stop him. Instead, they would butter him up and offer up a few more for his pleasure.

After releasing all his pent-up lust in the brothel amongst a few messily dressed but petite whores, Nelson felt refreshed.

Although the fire in his crotch had vanished, the lecherous desire in his eyes had yet to take its leave.

He was still thinking about Diana, thinking about any strategy that could allow him to complete his designs without his father knowing anything.

Alas, the lecherous thoughts kept him from thinking clearly or he would have realized what kind of foolish thing he wanted to do. His father wasn’t a tolerant individual at all. He wouldn’t care a single bit before snuffing him from existence in case his actions brought a calamity to the Hunter family in the form of an enraged Zach.

Nelson’s mind that had already been twisted by his erogenous desires couldn’t understand why his father had been trying to keep him away from the woman being held hostage in their mansion. Therefore, the same things were running through his head as he exited the brothel and began to walk back towards his carriage while being escorted by his entourage of guards.

While the guards didn’t dare to enter the carriage and stood outside respectfully, Nelson climbed into the carriage as one of the guards helped him keep the door open.

As soon as Nelson was seated, the guard closed the door after him before sitting on the front of the carriage with the driver. There was another carriage for the guards responsible for guarding their master. It was moving ahead of them and was busily securing the path for their master.

But unknown to the useless guards, someone had already entered the carriage of their precious master unbeknownst to them. He had been waiting inside the carriage to have a few words with Nelson.

Uncharacteristically against his nature, Nelson didn’t freak out the moment he came across Jack who was sitting across from him in the carriage. After all, the guards weren’t there to protect him if Jack dared to hurt him without caring about the consequences. After all, he had discarded Jack previously without giving him the payment he was due.

Nelson knew that he would be helplessly cut down if Jack no longer had any care about his own life anymore. The life of a murderer on the run wasn’t any fun after all.

Instead of freaking out, Nelson tried to keep his furiously beating heart from jumping out of his chest. The drums beating in his chest were inaudible to Jack as Nelson somehow managed to keep his panic from leaking out.

“Why are you here?” asked Nelson calmly as if everything was under his control and he wasn’t in any danger. .𝙘𝒐𝒎

Jack sneered at his attempt to appear composed inwardly but didn’t show his contempt on his face. He was just as capable of concealing his true thoughts.

“To make a deal with you.” answered Jack sneakily as if he was afraid that the carriage was bugged.

As soon as he heard that Jack wanted to make a deal with him, Nelson’s attitude shot through the roof. He mistakenly believed that he had the upper hand against Jack since the latter had come to him to make a deal despite what he had to go through last time. Therefore, Nelson assumed that Jack was desperate and needed his help which gave further air to his arrogance and haughtiness.

“Haven’t you learnt the lesson from your last attempt at making a deal? The weak have no right to negotiate with the strong. They can only follow orders.” sneered Nelson as he looked at Jack with a contemptuous gaze like he was looking at a commoner who had dared to sit in the position of a noble like himself.

“Since I have come to you of my own accord, I am quite confident in the business I bring. I am sure you won’t be able to resist paying everything you owe me once you see what I bring to the table.” Jack smiled smugly as if he truly was proud of his achievements this time. At the same time, there was a subtle lewdness to his smile as if he understood Nelson’s true hidden thoughts and could understand them to a certain extent.

Nelson caught that hint as well and couldn’t help but wonder what gave Jack so much confidence.

“Fine, you have my attention. What is it? What has given you so much confidence in front of me?” asked Nelson curiously as he brought his hand forward as if asking Jack to hand it over.

“Ever since I did that last job for your family, there has been a certain mage who has been chasing after me to hold me accountable for the crimes I committed. She just couldn’t keep to herself and decided to mess up my life instead. She refused to let me go no matter how many times I told her to stay away from me. Eventually, she chased me out of the city but even that wasn’t enough to satisfy her, so I had an all-out showdown with her. Although she was strong, incredulously strong at that, she wasn’t beyond the realm of what I couldn’t handle by giving my best. So, I managed to overpower and bring her under my control with extreme difficulty.” Jack narrated with excitement visible on his face but there was also a dark glint in the corner of his eye that was invisible to Nelson.

Nelson, though a bit interested at first, easily lost interest when Jack began to stretch the conversation. He lost his patience and thundered, “Get to the point or get out of here.”

“‘SHE’ is the point. The mage I am referring to is an absolute beauty with a lot of spirit and attitude. I heard you have an interest in such toys. Not only is she an extremely powerful mage but also a stunning and gorgeous beauty. I haven’t seen someone of her caliber in a long time. So, what do you say? Are you interested in this deal?” Jack tried to make his sales pitch as attractive as possible, and his efforts weren’t wasted.

Nelson began to grow interested and a lecherous smile covered a better portion of his disgusting face.

“Tell me more…”

“I am also aware of the current situation of your family with the Smith family. You will be happy to know that the mage I am referring to is the woman who used to be beside the dark mage…”
