Stir

V1 Chapter 6: Stir

(R-18 Warning!)

In this world, most of the population were the common folks, or we call them commoners. But there were minorities too. The most prominent of them were Nobles. 

Unlike earth, where Nobles just ruled with manipulation and starved people to death, in this world, even if a full-blown war was to happen between the Nobles and the Commoners, the Nobles would win by a considerable margin.

The other one of group was the dark side of society, the Underworld. They always stayed and fought inside the shadows. One could not recognize the people from the Underworld in the common folks.

The dark side existed everywhere. While the Nobles ruled the people and showed chivalry and mercy, the Underworld coveted everything else.

The Underworld ruled everything that was 'too below for a noble to participate in.' Illegal drugs, smuggling, human trafficking, looting, and much more.

While Nobles tried to get peace and stability between Commoners and control them, the Underworld always caused chaos.

It may look like they were enemies and are meant to destroy each other. But they actually complimented each other; one cannot be stable without the other.

The Underworld caused fear inside the masses, and Nobles used that fear to control them.

But one thing was always shared, they had one target, the common folks. But that doesn't mean that the Nobles and Underworlds didn't clash; they did, and very often. The whole kingdom was tip-toeing on a delicate power balance between light and dark. 

This was also the case for Balek Town, this town was also controlled by the two sides, and they were at war with each other.

Although this town looked beautiful, there were so many hidden sides to it that an average person couldn't discover in his whole life.

And as the news of Jake's awakening spread around in the masses, it brought tides between these factions that were at a brutal stalemate. They all needed to have that one push to finally overwhelm the enemy. 

Completely disregarding that the person is actually a child, this news brought a stir in these factions.

The Town Lord's mansion was easily the largest and the most beautiful architecture in the whole of Balek Town. 

Many servants worked there, while only the Noble Family of Baron Balek lived there. The mansion required tens of people just to clean it and keep it presentable. 

Inside the mansion, in a spacious room that can easily be an entire area of a commoner's home, a man in the age of 40s can be seen sitting in luxurious clothes.

He was Baron Robert Balek, people need but one look to recognize him as a noble. He was sitting and doing paperwork inside his room and then.

'Knock~ knock~.' 

One of Robert's servants knocked the door of the room.

Robert looked up to the door and allowed the entry of the servant. The servant was an old butler whose hair and mustache was almost white. After a respectful bow, the servant said to the noble.

"Master, I bring news."

"Tell me," the Noble spoke indifferently

"A silver talent is born." 

The noble raised his eyebrows at the words of his servant and spoke with a resolute gaze, "Who is it?"

"Jake Hill, the second son of one of the A-rank adventurers Andrew Hill" the Butler replied with a submissive tone. 

Robert pondered for a while, then said, "Seal the news, keep it from leaking and keep an eye on the boy."

"What if other parties try to approach him?" Asked the servant

"If they come to kill him, let them. And if the boy willingly agrees, kill him," Robert said again

"Yes, milord"

"Offer him to become our Knight; if he rejects, remove the trace of him," the Noble said and continued his paperwork laid on the table in front of him "you can go." 

He said without even bothering to look at the servant.

In a dark alley, a lady donned in a cloak knocked on the door thirteen times with a pattern. She was Lidia, an informant for the Underworld. The door opened with a creak, and she entered it.

As she entered, a strong scent of drugs entered her nose, making her scrunch up her face. 

After looking around, six men and a lot of naked women can be seen inside.

A man fucking a bruised woman can be seen on the far right corner. 

The man was plowing and punching the woman as he pleased. It didn't take a fool to know all the women in this room were drugged and rap*d. 

More than half of the women in this room were lying dead with lifeless bodies, and the other half were not faring any better. They were the reward for the 'heist' the Underworld did recently. They attacked a wandering merchant party that also had some women in them. 

The man who was fucking the woman choked her to the point her body became lifeless, and her eyes grew dull. Even after choking the life out of the girl, the man kept going and seemed even more excited.

Averting her eyes from the brutal scene, she looked at the man who sat in the middle of the room, legs wide open with a lady sucking him off.

Sighing, the cloaked lady said to the man. "Barnes, I have some info."

"What is it?" the man who was enjoying throating the lady said

"A silver talent is found." 

"Umm~" He shoved his cock all the way into the ladies' throat, not caring about her breathing. As he passed a gold coin to the cloaked lady.

"Lidia, who is it?"

The cloaked lady smiled, and while putting the coin in her pouch, she said. "Second son of Andrew, the A-ranker."

He stood up in joy, allowing the lady to finally gasp, and she held her throat as she was panting on the ground.

"Finally, The tides will turn." He said as he violently picked up the second lady by the hair, bent her over, and started fucking her.

Each of these societies wanted to use the new variable that appeared in the town. Without missing a beat, they all started scheming against Jake, who just wanted to live his life.

What fate has in store for him, only time will tell.
