Letting out a pleasure-filled sigh, Greg turned his head to regard Desia even as he felt Athalia's small dainty hands try to encircle his girth even as her lips continued to pay homage to his manhood by planting kiss after kiss on it. Desia looked like a deer in headlights. Greg could see it in her eyes that some small part of her recognized just how risky all this was. On her knees before Greg, taking his manhood into her warm wet mouth, was Lord Faron's great-granddaughter. The small part of her mind that was still rational, was probably telling her that she needed to run as far as she could, as fast as she could. But while her mind protested, her body was more honest as her hand had unconsciously found its way to her crotch. She was trying to pleasure herself through her dress. With a devilish smile playing on his lips, Greg held out a hand to the woman, quietly urging her to let go of her fears and allow herself to give in to the lust. To revel and indulge in the pleasure that th

If that had been the end of it, it would have been an odd interaction. Odd because, all through their interaction, it had felt like something was tugging at her mind, trying to get her attention. It was almost as if she had forgotten something important or wasn't noticing something she should have. Not willing to miss out on this business opportunity before her, however, Desia had stayed single-mindedly focused on getting the deal settled first. If they had parted ways after he'd agreed to her proposal, she more than likely would have had an uneventful night. But then, Chesha, wife to Magistrate Anar, had pretended to be drunk and bumped into the young man. Anar, blind fool that he was, didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Desia who was off to the young man's side, however, saw everything, and that's when the dam broke. The wall that her single-minded focus had erected in a bid to get a deal came tumbling down and all of a sudden, Desia was aware of just how hard her nipples

Strip," Greg instructed the two women even as he pulled back from them and turned toward the bed. Even with his pants around his ankles, Greg didn't have to take anything off. Each piece of clothing he had on was already in contact with him, all it took was a simple flex of the will for him to send them into his personal pocket space. With the two women kneeling before him, Greg went from fully dressed to being completely nude. From the way they looked at him with clear desire in their eyes, they very much liked what they saw. The two women were momentarily mesmerized by his physique such that they didn't immediately comply. Greg, however, gave them the encouragement they needed. "The first one to join me will also be first in line," he said, offhandedly. It didn't need saying what they'd be first in line for.From the frantic shuffling of clothes behind him, Greg could tell that both women wanted to be first. Never having slept on a magically floating bed, Greg tested it by pushing o

Despite the sigh of relief that left Greg when he recognized Jeral's voice, his heart was still racing at just how easily this could have turned to disaster. But while Greg was coming down from realizing that there wasn't a seventh-tier disaster standing on the other side of the door, Athalia's eyes had gone wide, panic on her features. A devilish smile slowly grew on Greg's face as a wicked idea quickly formed in his mind. Lining himself up with Athalia, Greg slowly pushed the head of his cock into her pussy. Athalia's hand flew to her mouth, clamping it tightly to suppress the moan that wanted to tear out of her as his cock stretched her out in ways she'd never experienced before. Greg only drove in a few inches, and once he was certain he wouldn't slip out, he paused. Hooking his arms around the back of her knees, Greg picked up the lithe form of Athalia off the bed and off Mage Desia. With strength equal to that of a third-tier body-enhancing mage, Greg could have lifted ten Atha

Greg couldn't help but turn his head in the direction of the stairs, curious to see what Lord Faron looked like. The other two he'd already encountered and thus could easily recognize. In this lifetime, Lord Faron would be the fourth seventh-tier mage he'd ever laid eyes on after his teacher and the two from the Draknar alliance. Much to Greg's surprise, the man who stood at the top of the stairs looked quite young. It wouldn't have come as a shock to Greg if a grey-haired man had been standing at the top of the stairs looking down at the crowd. But rather than an old man, the man he was looking at was thirty-five max, if one just went off appearance. The more he thought about it, however, the more he realized that it shouldn't have come as that much of a surprise. After all his teacher seemed to be in her early thirties based on appearance despite being just a few years shy of eight centuries. Standing at just an inch or two shy of six feet, the man had a casual air of confidence ab

This woman was out for his blood. She felt slighted that Greg hadn't agreed to the extortionist price for the scales of the ouroboros. She was someone so used to being at the top that his refusal to bend to her whims was probably considered a personal insult. Given this, Greg felt no need to indulge or entertain her. There was no hope of talking her out of whatever conclusions she'd already come to in her head. Anything he said could and probably would be used against him. The smart thing would be to keep quiet and hope she leaves to find some other poor sap to torture. Of course, he wasn't so lucky. "You could still stop this, you know?" She spoke up, a serious expression now on her face. "Hand over the scales of the ouroboros, and an appropriate compensation for the disrespect you've shown me, and we can all forget that any of this ever happened," She stated in a conciliatory tone. Greg calmly regarded the woman for a long second before letting a small smile grace his lips. "Ofte

A scowl had formed on Lord Faron's face and the nobles had quietly expanded the circle around Greg, unwilling to be collateral damage when Lord Faron's anger was inevitably unleashed. Nevertheless, Greg acted like he hadn't noticed and pressed on. "Unfortunately for me, the story doesn't end there. Come to find out, the only reason my uncle became a tier-zero mage was because there was a convergence a little bit higher on the mountain my town was on. And of all the horrid places to connect to, it was the abyssal realm that was touching on this one. By the time we figured this out, a few months had passed since my uncle's death and I was now a first-tier mage. So, working with our little town's healer and a servant girl of mine, we go up there to fix it. And what do you know, we were just in time. A day or two more, and a doorway would have opened between the two realms. Working tirelessly, and heroically I might add," Greg said, smiling and winking at Mage Kastia. "We close it. But as

Greg could easily see the insidious move the man was making with his words. Innocent as the request might seem on the surface, it was a double-edged sword meant to cut you no matter which choice you made. If Greg had just made up the story, as the man was insinuating, it'd only have power if people believed it. If they didn't, then he was just a loudmouth third-tier mage. Greg would thus feel compelled to try and give out an impressive list of items he had supposedly gotten from the two seventh-tier mages. Likely they wouldn't believe him anyway. But, even worse, if they did believe him, he would have just put a target on his back from all the nobles present. By the same token, even if they all believed Greg's entire story, listing out his treasures would still end with the same result, him as a target. A few would hesitate given that Greg got the treasures from two seventh-tier mages, but greed had always trumped wisdom among many. The bigger irony, however, was that, if Greg answe
Chapter 199
Through repeated dungeon runs, Greg had come to learn that to nobles, their image and reputation were just as important, sometimes even more so, than their wealth. This night could be construed in two ways. In the first version of events, Lord Faron, a seventh-tier mage had bullied and stolen from a third-tier mage. It wasn't like there was anyone in Telako that could do anything about it even if he did so, but it would tarnish the man's image among the masses. A seventh-tier mage was no different from a common thief, he just had the power to evade the consequences. In the other version of this night's events, Lord Faron could have been dealing with a loudmouth third-tier mage who had threatened to kill his granddaughter. The whole perspective of anyone who heard the story would shift. Not only would they not expect swift and direct punishment from Lord Faron for this insolence, up to and including death, they'd even look down on Lord Faron if he didn't do something about it.

The world didn't make sense.That's how Desia felt as she sat in the carriage headed toward the airship docks that served the middle-class section of the city. The events of the previous night still felt like a dream to her. When she had emerged from the manor to rejoin the party, Desia was torn. A part of her had been fighting the guilt that had been welling up within her for her indiscretion with the young man. She was a married woman and she knew that what she'd done was wrong. That said, there was no denying the desire the young man had sparked in her. It was the kind of desire that, before last night, she would have sworn she'd outgrown. Raw and fiery in a way that she couldn't deny or reason around. Even now, Desia couldn't help but unconsciously clench her thighs at the memory.When she descended back to the party, her back was straight and her head held high, just like every other day. In her long life, she'd come to learn that people who tried to remain hidden stood out more
