Chapter 250 - Baseline for the offers

After a long bout of explaining my idea behind the harvesters, I finally got a single male out of all the delegations to pick a girl they fancied the most only to be lead to the shining doors. It took only a short moment for sweet moans to start seeping through the small holes between the door and threshold, showing that despite my orders, some of the girls couldn't help but try to use this opportunity to rack some favours from their respective clients.

All in all, the only this they were required to do, was to arouse them. While I didn't understand the process yet, after all the experiences I had with Eve and other girls, I knew for sure that for the yang essence to be either produced or freed from the shackles of the man's body, it was required to bring him to the climax.

While this was just a guess of mine, I believed that finishing in a normal way would cause the essence to either get absorbed by the weaker party. That was the reason behind the only strict order that I gave to the girls, which was to not let their clients end up satisfied but guide them to use the harvester's button instead.

"While your representatives are busy testing out whether the capabilities of my product are just as great as I described, I would like to invite everyone to just enjoy this moment. I can assure you that all the foods, drinks and remaining women are of the best quality!"

Even if only a small amount of the girls that I brought would actually help with the vital point of my plan, using the rest of them to court and get busy with the remaining males from the delegations.

"Speaking of which, could I invite the two of you to follow me to one of the free chambers? I have some matters that I would like to discuss with you."

No matter how high one's cultivation was, even if the libido would keep falling down, it never disappeared. With even a single one of the representatives having to yet reach the saint realm, the situation in the room was slowly turning into a typical orgy. Using the fact that Nadia and the elder from the Ascending wisdom sect were currently talking while sitting together, I used this opportunity to approach them and invite them for a private talk. While I would prefer to have Neterian represent the side of Natural Edge Sect in the talk that would follow, since he took up the opportunity to test my product out, I was stuck with asking Nadia to fill his place.

"Seeing that you didn't bother to provide any real entertainment for the girls, there isn't anything better for me to do anyway. Lead the way."

Nadia didn't waste the opportunity to push a thorn to my side, while the Ascendance Elder simply nodded his head as if unwilling to part with the energy required to utter a single word.

"I didn't have enough time to get the yang harvesters done. While the idea behind them is quite similar, considering the differences between male and female erogenous zones, it's not as easy to replicate woman nether parts. But fret not, as soon as I will get some free time on my hands, I will make sure to make something that won't disappoint you!"

While I know it was wrong to project my own morality on her, I still have chosen to believe that she went as far as getting gangbanged by multiple males at once only because she lacked any other way to ensure a swift rise on her power. If this wild guess was true, creating yang harvesters and the entire structure for actually accumulating it would be the easiest way to buy a lot of favours from her!

As we reached the doors leading to one of the two remaining vacant rooms, I allowed the guests to step inside first, before locking the doors behind me while adding another layer of energy on top of the lock to ensure that no one would dare to intrude while we would be talking.

"I want to keep things short. Since I respect your intelligence, I will get straight to the point. What are you willing to offer me in exchange for my allegiance to your sect?"

The fact that I was backed by Heavenly sword sect was common knowledge. Taking this fact and how I acted towards a potential spy during the auction were enough to give them a clear outline as to what was the main basis of my cooperation with the sect. Since that was the case, when they saw Venna standing up for the man, they could see the first cracks appearing on our so far united front. There was no need to point it out to them.

"This is quite a frank question. Normally, it's the applicants that are supposed to convince a sect to accept them as a disciple. While I have some information about your exploits, they are not nearly as exhaustive as what your current backer knows, meaning that I might not be able to offer anything that would even surpass the offer from the Heavenlies."

While his point was right, it made me realise one, insanely important thing. So far, I didn't get any concessions that would warrant me joining the heavenly sect.

Yes, Venna invested quite a lot both in terms of resources and her influence in the Bakari Auction House for the sake of establishing this place, but this was nothing else than just a mutually profitable business. While she got my back when it came to the previous strifes with the city lord and deterred the Katenaris or Dracons from openly acting against me just by showing her support, this was also bound to the fact that I was nothing else than a golden goose for her!

But when it came to finally make a hard decision that would put a strain on her position in the sect, possibly forcing them to escalate the ongoing conflict with the Draconic sect, she didn't hesitate to hold me back!

While I couldn't blame it on her, it managed to sober me up in terms of keeping my unwarranted loyalty to her for no reason!

"I might surprise you here, but I don't really have any benefits on that point. It was just something that came out naturally when I came to her to propose some of the business ideas. But as you saw in the little clash that happened during the auction, she is not as willing as I hoped she would to put me before the immediate interests of her sect. That's why I would like to hear your offer."

"You wanted to keep the things short? Then stop approaching us as if this was a damn marketplace where haggling and negotiating is the custom. We both know that you are hostile towards Katenaris and because of that - with Dracons as well. The question is, what is your bottom line from which we can start offering our bids?"

With her legs crossed, Nadia picked up one of the glasses that were already present in the small room before even the entire event started. While in my previous world, a liquor would turn to a disgusting, room temperature after being left unattended for such a long while, somehow the wine that was kept in the glasses started steaming the moment Nadia picked the glass up.

That was yet another major distinction between this world and earth. Back on earth, the hot wine was just a thing one could drink on special occasions, like after skiing or mountain hiking when one required to warm himself up. Almost at any other time, the wine would be served slightly cold, to allow the customer to fully embrace the bouquet of its taste.

That's why, when the smell of steamingly hot wine hit my nostrils, I was barely able to hold my puke back. All in all, I was still a minor, not accustomed to the sour taste of wine, not to speak about the mulling smell of the alcohol itself.

With the wine being a big no-no for me, especially when it was a local, high class one, that was as far from being the sweet drink that Eve liked to pour into me as astronomy was from astrology, I had to take out one of the few remaining bottles of the light, herbal drinks, that my beloved one prepared for me in advance.

Taking the cork out, I poured it into a simple but durable glass that I always kept in my storage ring. While I wasn't thirsty at all, I had to do all of it for the sake of theatrical effect!

Pouring a small sip of the drink down my throat resulted in a wave of hotness hitting my face from the inside. For some reason, ever since my advancement to the expanding senses level, just by drinking a tasty drink, my body reacted as if it was struck by a highly concentrated essence of the taste! With how many matters I had on my mind, I couldn't be bothered by fixing the issue, which paid with my slightly pained expression when I calmly responded.

"You are wrong about one thing. I don't care about Dracons at all, while I just want to keep Katenaris away from my fiancee. What I need, is someone to stop them from making me pay when I will trash my cousin that joined their ranks.  What I need, is to get someone to shield me from the wrath of an expert of Eve's family when I will finally reach the saint stage in the far off future. As long as you can provide me with those two things, a bit of autonomy to raise my strength in my own way and freehand in bringing you more and more revenue with every business that I would invest myself in, I will seriously consider your offer."
