Chapter 360 Clarify
As the youth stepped inside the building, he was greeted by a scene of refined luxury.
The air was filled with the fragrant smell of exotic perfumes and flowers. Along with it, mingled the relaxing sound of musical instruments.
Walls were draped in dark red color with purple silk banners hanging from the ceiling every couple of meters. This created a highly seductive and intimate vibe.
The interior was lavish, to say the least.
Velvet furniture dyed in golden and burgundy hues seemed very inviting to the patrons, helping them relax and indulge in their desires.
The main hall was extremely spacious. It had a high ceiling and at the center hung a brilliant crystal chandelier. Whereas the ground was filled with luxurious couches with silky soft cushions and low tables.
However, this was not what surprised Adam.
When he laid eyes on the beautiful courtesans gracefully moving through the crowd, he couldn't help but loudly gulp.
Cade astutely noticed this and asked with a faint smile, "My Lord, is this your first time visiting a pleasure house?"
Adam glanced at the man with a stoic expression. He harrumphed, "Naturally, I have visited many such places in the Southern Federation. But they pale in comparison to the splendor of the Velvet Dreams."
"Ah, I see. So you're from the other side of the Murky Mountains." Cade nodded in understanding. "Then rest assured, my lord. We will make sure that you have the time of your life here tonight."
"Hmm." Adam nodded his head ever so slightly. "Lead the way."
As the pair made their way upstairs toward the VIP lounge, Adam gazed at the mesmerizing scene taking place before him.
Courtesans of the four major races performed sensual dances as they moved through the spacious hall.
The clothes all of them were wearing were extremely minimal. It was just enough to hide their lady parts. This, however, caused the customers to be extremely tempted.
Just this small preview was more than enough for the patrons to give in to their temptations.
A beautiful elven courtesan approached Adam gracefully. She was wearing a transparent gown that made her appear very attractive.
She stood before the youth and spun seductively, displaying everything she had to offer. Then, without casting another glance, she walked away.
To say that Adam wasn't captivated would be a lie.
But when he thought about how this woman must have been brought here to work, the youth's eyes flashed with pity and anger.
His hands clenched involuntarily and he turned around to gaze at Cade walking in front of him. He controlled the fury bubbling inside him and asked, "By the way, who is your Master? I mean, the one who owns this place?"
Cade turned around to look at him with raised eyebrows, but replied nonetheless, "Well, it is not a secret. The Velvet Dreams is owned by a couple, both Rank 2 Magi."
"Oho?" Adam acted surprised. "They're a couple and both are Mana Liquefaction magi, no less?"
"That is correct, my lord."
"Hmm." Adam stroked his double chin and muttered softly, "Who is the Mistress? I bet she must be a very beautiful woman."
Cade's eyes narrowed and he flatly stated, "My lord, please refrain from speaking such words." He leaned over and whispered in a not-so-friendly tone, "The walls have ears."
Adam chuckled, "Don't mind me. I was just curious. All these fine courtesans in this building. Surely, they must have learned such seductive skills from someone."
Cade didn't reply. He silently climbed the stairs, guiding Adam to the lounge.
Adam, on the other hand, glanced at the white-robed man with a smirk. He continued to make snide remarks about the Mistress of this establishment.
Of course, he still didn't receive a reply from Cade.
But that didn't matter.
The pair soon arrived at the second floor. This floor looked even more opulent than the one below. Every small detail was meticulously designed.
Once again Adam was taken aback by the amount of money these people must have invested into this property.
On this floor, there were no courtesans that could be seen. Instead, there were staff dressed in elegant uniforms catering to the VIPs.
"Where are the women?" Adam asked excitedly.
Cade glanced at him and forced a smile, "My lord, they will be delivered to your private suite.""Ah, I see, I see," Adam glanced at all the doors bordering the small hall. "So those are the private suites, eh?"
"Indeed, my lord." Cade nodded and then guided Adam to one of the rooms.
He opened the door and gestured for him to go inside.
Adam stepped in and was once again surprised. He couldn't help but think to himself, Just how much money do these guys have?!"
Every place he went to was more luxurious than the last.
This private suite came with a spacious and elegantly decorated chamber. The main area featured an oversized bed covered in silk sheets.
There was also a seating area on the other side of the bed. On the table, there were rows of transparent crystal bottles, each containing different types of exotic liquor.
As Adam was admiring the rich interior, Cade walked up to him and asked, "What kind of women do you prefer, my lord? We have beautiful courtesans hailing from the four different races as you've already noticed."
"Neither," Adam replied coolly.
"Pardon?" Cade's eyes narrowed.
Adam stepped forward and stood right before the white-
robed young man. He leaned over and said with a cold grin, "I want to meet your owners."
Cade couldn't help but intensely frown.
Outside the establishment, he may have had to show proper etiquette and bow in the face of this Rank 2 Magus. But inside, it was a different matter altogether.
"Lord Magus, I have already told you that my Mistress does not—" the man began, but was interrupted by Adam when he placed his chubby hand on his shoulder.
The grin on Adam's lips widened and he muttered, "You misunderstand. I was never here to purchase your services. Instead, I'm here to sell you my products."
Cade's pupils constricted and he couldn't help but mutter in apprehension, "What do you mean?"
"Playing the fool, I see," Adam chuckled. "Alright then, allow me to clarify."
His eyes flashed with cold light and he added, "I'm here to sell you..
"Slaves."
