Chapter 93: Chapter 11: Trade And Deal

I was sitting in the private room of Cassandra, the blue lady, the queen of wolves, whatever title she wanted. It was surprisingly normal, with a small table and chairs, a minibar and a coffee machine that used pods.

"Please, make yourself at home..."

"I will."

Cassandra was nervous. I could smell her sweat and fear, looking at me like a monster; however, that was good.

She shouldn't underestimate me, and she didn't do that. It meant she was taking me more seriously than before when she pretended to be interested in me.

It was likely because she's a bitch and smelled my scent.

The wolf queen put some pods on the table and started making herself an espresso while I made black tea. The silence was uncomfortable. She kept glancing at me for a few seconds, expecting me to say something, but I waited until she did.

"So... What are you going to do?"

I sipped my tea, feeling its warmth down my throat, "What do you mean?"

"About tonight?"

I shrugged, "Nothing."

Cassandra looked at me like I had committed some crime, but the men I killed were gone, and there was no proof apart from their words that I did something.

I doubt she wanted to make me into an enemy, someone who could easily crush the man who nearly destroyed her gang tonight.

"I..."

"When did you start being treated like trash?" I asked, curious why the rumours were so different; her gang was supposed to be equal to them... Or able to fight back, but the man here today was a simple captain, not even one of the black snake gang leaders or higher-ups.

Cassandra sighed, putting her cup on the table, "Around half a year ago, the gang leader changed."

"He seemed to be able to help people become ability users..."

"Or has links with the government."

"There isn't any solid information, but almost all full members of the black snake gang are now ability users."

I hummed, thinking about how to use this situation to my advantage, "then why are they trying to recruit you instead of crushing you?"

Cassandra bit her lip, "Because they know I am a rare type of ability user and female.."

I raised an eyebrow, "Rare type?"

Cassandra nodded, showing her hands, which turned into claws, then furry paws, "My ability allows me to change between a human form and a wolf form."

"Oh, because you're a bitch. That makes sense."

Her face grimaced, seeming to want to say something in rejection, but her nose snorted and appeared to remember something.

Her body trembled with a strange whine before I could see small goosebumps on her skin, causing me to smirk.

She's terrified of me because I stopped hiding my primal werewolf scent.

Is he going to piss herself, haha?

"You're not a werewolf, but you become an actual wolf?"

I had to make sure.

Cassandra nodded, "Yes. In my wolf form, I'm three times bigger than a regular wolf and have enhanced speed and strength. In addition, I can also use magic, though it is limited."

"Magic?"

She nodded, "I can use wind blades..."

Why did she answer me so honestly? It was like her eyes looked at me with less fire than before, a tamed dog or maybe just trained.

I hummed, finishing my tea, "That's interesting..."

Cassandra gulped, shaking hands, "H- Have you decided what to do?"

"About?"

I smirked, "I thought I said nothing?"

Cassandra's face turned pale, knowing she couldn't push the topic further, but she should know I wouldn't help her if she didn't offer anything.

My legs crossed, tasting the tea of this Wassimo machine, which was quite delicious, not to the level of mother's freshly brewed tea, but it could calm my excitement that might have dulled my mind and caused me to help this woman out of pure lust.

They would have the hotel to rely on.

"Secondly, the prostitution and compensated dating business will stop."

Cassandra frowned, "I get prostitution, but isn't compensated dating fine?"

"Because some girls are tricked into using drugs or forced into prostitution because of the compensated dating."

Cassandra frowned, "But some girls genuinely want to date older men for money..."

I rolled my eyes, "Fine, compensated dating stays, but only with women who agree to it and not those tricked into it."

"You will have your gang members ensure the males are legit and keep tabs on the girls to ensure they are not damaged or forced."

"Eh... why so gentle and kind."

Cassandra muttered but nodded, "Anything else?"

I tapped my fingers, wondering, "Hmmm, what's your income monthly?"

Cassandra tilted her head, "Around twenty million; why?"

"Increase it by ten million by next month, preferably twenty, and pay me ten per cent monthly."

Cassandra's jaw dropped, "T- Ten million! That's impossible..."

I smiled, licking my lips, "Do you want my help or not? I will send you a very talented woman with great knowledge related to business."

Cassandra gulped, "Who?"

"A secret."

I couldn't tell her it was my mother and Elizabeth.

Cassandra frowned, "Ten per cent is also..."

I smirked, crossing my arms, "Think carefully; it's either losing ten per cent monthly or having your gang disappear."

Cassandra bit her lips, "F- Fine..."

"Finally, the name will change to the Lunar Wolf Gang."

Cassandra's face frowned, "Lunar Wolf Gang?"

"Yeah, it sounds cool, and your symbol can be a moon with a wolf howling. It fits both you and that bottle of bourbon you sell, right?"

Cassandra blushed, nodding, "That works..."

I grinned, reaching my hand, "Then we have a deal?"

Cassandra nodded, taking my hand, "Deal!"

"However, I have one secret condition: I won't force you, but instead, I'll make you want to become my woman, hahaha."

My fingers pulled her into my embrace as I took a long breath of her floral scent, feeling extremely familiar, something I seemed to smell daily, but a strange fog hid the answer from my mind.

Cassandra pushed my chest; the power was light as she looked into my eyes; her fierce glare was back, and she seemed more confident.

"Hmmm, if you think you can make me want you, do your best little boy."

Little Boy?

I grabbed her chin, grinning, "Call me Sir."

Cassandra rolled her eyes, pushing me, "Whatever you say, little boy."

This bitch.

But why is it so fun...

Lupera, you've been so quiet since we came here; this woman is like you, always teasing and fun.

{Don't compare this low-level bitch with me}

I guess you're right, but why don't you like Cassandra?

{...}

Fine, whatever, it doesn't matter.
