“Oh?” Seth exclaimed softly.The woman looked to be in her late thirties. Her looks were a 7, but her figure was an 8. It was obvious that she took good care of her physique.However, it was not her figure that surprised Seth. Instead, it was the scent of medicinal potions on her body. Even though she wore a heavy perfume to mask the smell, she could not hide it from Seth.Seth did not let the surprise show on his face. "How much is this electric car?" "Sir, this model can last for 100 miles on one charge. It's exempt from purchase tax. Including insurance, it costs 2,999 dollars.""How many units do you have in stock?""There are thirty in the store right now. Our headquarters isn't far from here, and there should be more than five hundred units over there.""I’ll take them all. I'll give you an address. All you have to do is send them to the designated place. Oh, and forget about the insurance. Do we have a deal?"The woman's eyes lit up, and she quietly clenched her fists
Her eyes shone when she looked at Seth, and she said sweetly, "Sir, I'm the manager here."I've already called HQ. Please settle the bill for now, and we can provide free transportation if your shipping destination is within 100 miles."Seth took out a card and gave them an address.It led to an abandoned building outside the suburbs.Seth happened to pass by and saw it on the way here. It had a large empty space.After he swiped his card, the smile on the manager's face widened, and the way she looked at Seth became more suggestive. He had to be loaded to be able to buy so many cars without a moment’s hesitation.If she could win his favor, she could quit this soul-crushing job.Although she was the manager of the store, she still had to pleasure some old and ugly men sometimes to meet her sales targets.Although Seth’s looks were quite average, he was still quite young…She would rather be with him that those all farts. Therefore, she wasted no time showing off her assets
The saleswoman did not reply. Instead, her nails grew into sharp dagger-like claws, and she stabbed them viciously at Seth's head.However, she froze just a few inches away from Seth. It was as if she had sunk into quicksand.The saleswoman's pupils constricted. "A psychic esper?! Who are you? I've already quit that project. Are you still going to kill me?!"Seth's heart skipped a beat. "What project? Tell me about it."It was the saleswoman’s turn to look surprised. "You're not from that lab?""I have no allegiances in the Warhawk Empire." Seth looked at her. "Calm down and let’s talk. It sounds to me like you’re in a spot of trouble. Perhaps I can help you."When Seth had asked her to go out with him just now, the woman had clearly hesitated.However, she still agreed to his request in the end. That must mean she had extenuating circumstances."I need money. At least a million." The woman retracted her hand and clenched her fists tightly. "I have a niece who just turned eight
The saleswoman was skeptical of Seth and was too scared to let him anywhere near her niece.Seth did not feel like wasting his breath on explanations. With a flicker of his psychic powers, he seized control of her body and the car's steering wheel.The saleswoman was petrified. However, her attempts to resist were useless.30 minutes later, they pulled up to a skeletal structure of an abandoned building.People were already there, offloading boxes from a truck.Seth stepped out, and the saleswoman was itching to bolt.After giving it a second thought, she stepped out with a sigh, following his lead.After a brief chat with the factory representative to check the delivery, Seth sent them on their way.Next, he did something that blew the saleswoman's mind—he made all the trucks vanish into a storage space as if they were toys.Ignoring her stunned expression, Seth laid out the plan. "We'll sort out your niece's issue at your place first, then you'll take me to the lab."He pau
Seth checked Dahlia's pulse, his touch careful and kind.His forehead creased with worry in an instant.The saleswoman caught the look on his face and felt a wave of dread crash over her. "How is Dahlia doing? You've got to tell me she's okay.""It's not just muscle weakness; she's been poisoned.""Poisoned? How is that possible?" she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.Seth turned to her and said, "Grab me a paper cup, quick."She dashed off. Seth pulled out a slender silver needle in the meantime.Once the saleswoman returned with the cup, Seth pricked Dahlia's fingertip with the needle and pressed ever so slightly.A bead of black blood oozed out, reeking of pure evil.Seth looked grim. "This is serious. It's a deadly poison that has seeped into her very bones and bloodstream."The saleswoman was seething with anger. "Who would do such a vile thing? Is it them? Why go after Dahlia? If they're looking for a fight, they should come at me!"Seth got to his feet and strod
Should the information not be utilized, all that information he snagged from Yulanda would go down the drain.The Medicine Sect's plan was not to put out freaky stuff like the Warhawk Empire. They wanted to brew up a gene potion to beef up the human body. Coupled with some impressive martial arts and inner power, they would create a whole squad of top-tier fighters.These fighters would be next-level with no side effects. They would be totally in tune with the universe.Seth eyed the saleswoman. "Dahlia has to get all the nutrients she can get, but make sure to cut down on the grease. Let her hit the hay after she eats. I'm bunking here tonight to see if the poisoner tries to make an appearance."The saleswoman was extremely thankful, showering Seth with thanks.She kept at it till nightfall.Post-dinner and clean-up, Dahlia crashed in her room. Sleep was the best medicine for someone shaking off a nasty bug.Once Dahlia was out like a light, the saleswoman got a change of cloth
There she was, donned in a translucent nightdress that was both revealing while keeping certain parts seductively veiled. It was the kind of thing you would only see in steamy movies or TV shows, the kind that could give someone with a faint heart a real scare.It appeared to be her first time wearing something so seductive. She could not quite meet Seth's eyes, but she braved it out and plopped down next to him.Her perfume, mixed with her natural scent, was messing with Seth's head in all kinds of ways.Then, she dropped a bombshell. "Thanks for saving Dahlia. I'm at a loss for how to thank you properly. The most precious thing I can offer is something I've kept for over 30 years—my innocence."Seth watched her, shaking his head slightly. "Not tonight. Head back to your room and get some rest. I've got to keep an eye out for any late-night poisoners."The saleswoman knew there were bigger things at stake and did not push it. She got up, swaying slightly as she made her way
Seth sprinkled water on his hands and gently tapped the saleswoman's face. It was not long before she stirred, her eyes clouded with bewilderment.Upon seeing Seth and realizing where she was, the saleswoman chuckled. "Sir, couldn't hold back, could you? I'm ready for you now."She had misunderstood, thinking Seth had whisked her away.Seth recounted the recent events to her.Her face twisted into a knot of emotions—shock, fear, and remorse.Then, Seth offered a solution. "I know of a technique that can keep your other self in check, ensuring she won't surface without your permission. However, it comes with a catch."The saleswoman's face turned grave. "If it can fix what's wrong with me, I'll agree to anything."Seth laid down his terms. "Firstly, you must vow to be forever loyal to me."In just a couple of days, Seth had come up with a plan. "You'll take Dahlia and leave the Warhawk Empire with me. I'm setting up a bio lab, and you're going to run it."Nancy Caldrich, the sa
