Chapter 650 Honey Trap

"If we fail to turn in a certain amount of vital energy crystals to the Sky Sect this time, our clan will be finished. We'll not only lose control over our mines but the powers of the Sky Sect might just kill us.

My mother was sick since we were born. My father brought Joyce and me up almost all by himself. Later, we moved to the Stone City and gained access to two mines which were the Sky Sect's property. We paid some vital energy crystals to the Sky Sect monthly while the rest we kept for ourselves. That's how our clan got where it is.

Dad has invested a lot in taking care of the business. If we can't get through this, our family will tear itself apart. This is too much for my father to bear. I hate to see him suffer.

Mr. Lin, I figured the only way to help my family is to pay back in kind—raid the Wei clan's mines just as they had raided ours.

But we are too weak to do this right now."

Michelle bit her lower lip, staring at Austin. Her eyes were misty. She sounded helpless and upset.

"I really hope you can help us out here. I know this is a rude request and it might put you in a lot of trouble. After all, the Wei clan must have kept lots of strong cultivators to guard their mines.

But I'm out of options. If we stand by and do nothing, our clan will soon disappear."

Austin's face expressed displeasure. 'It turns out she broke into my room earlier in the evening, to ask me to help her rob others. That's ridiculous!" he thought.

"Mr. Lin, I know you must be finding it too much to make sense of,"

Michelle said in a low voice, noting that Austin looked upset.

"If you can help us through this, I will serve you! I will become your maid and

I will be yours!"

Keeping her eyes on Austin, Michelle took a deep breath. Then, she untied the belt of her dress slowly. The dress dropped from her body and she stood naked in front of him.

'What's all this?' Austin wondered shocked. He hadn't noticed that he had stopped breathing.

His eyes almost popped out. Blood gushed out from his nostrils. He gaped at her perfect nude body, dumbfounded and marvelling at her.

Michelle was tall and slender, and had a curvy figure. Her skin was fair, smooth and creamy. And her plump breasts made it hard for Austin to look elsewhere.

"Miche... Miche... What's wrong with my nose? Why it is it bleeding?"

Austin wiped the blood under his nose off hurriedly.

His ears had turned red in embarrassment. Clearing his throat, he explained, "Maybe I've had too much spicy food. That's why it's bleeding."

Austin had to admit that she was an irresistible temptation to any man.

But he wasn't someone who would take advantage of a girl. Drawing a deep breath, he managed to control his urge and struggled to take his keen eyes off her.

"Miss Meng, could you...stop acting like this?" he requested. He was torn apart and yet

o the Meng clan's mines first. They would then come upon a plan of action.

Having never been in a place like this, Austin was quite interested in what this area had to offer.

"This place used to be a desert. It covered a large area and it was sparsely populated.

Sometime later, a guy from the Sky Sect found some vital energy crystals here and occupied it.

The Sky Sect owned lots of vital energy crystal quarries. Since the amount of vital energy crystal here was small, the powers of Sky Sect decided to hire others to manage those mines here instead of sending their men to mine.

I volunteered to apply for the job and drew the attention of a steward of the Sky Sect. He entrusted me with two mines. I needed to turn in a certain amount of vital energy crystals to them monthly and I could keep the rest.

In the Stone City, only my clan and the Wei clan are allowed to mine vital energy crystal in these mines. In the recent past, we have been fighting secretly.

But this time, the Wei clan has crossed the line and taken steps to finish us off."

Marwell on his horse came to Austin's side introducing this mine area and explained the grudge between his clan and the Wei clan.

"Rest assured, I will help you get back your vital energy crystals,"

Austin responded with a faint smile.

Marwell laughed out loud and said, "We are so lucky to have someone like you. Looks like we are bound to come out victorious."

He had faith in Austin. 'He has handled ninth-grade diabolic beasts effortlessly. And now he has nine ninth-grade scorpion-tailed leopards to assist him, ' Marwell thought.

Two hours later, they finally reached the quarries which was under the control of the Meng clan.

There were more than ten houses—all made of stone.

The members of the Meng clan who were responsible for guarding those mines greeted Marwell and led them to the most spacious room available.
