【The Black Emperor's Hunt for Women】Episode 6: A Scheme Within a Scheme

Synopsis:

After Joseph returned to Carthage, he discovered that the former headquarters of the Silver Wolf Gang had been occupied by the Golden Lion Gang. Furthermore,
he learned from Zi Lan that Jessica had been petrified and had been blind for some time. Currently, only
Beck was leading the Silver Wolf Gang members to resist the fierce attacks of the other three gangs. Forced into a corner, Fabian
devised a vicious plan: to unite with the covetous leader of the Golden Lion Gang. Would he succeed?
And what good ideas did Joseph have to help Beck ascend to the position of gang leader?

Excerpt:

Just as the situation was reaching a tense standoff, Zi Lan made her move. She controlled her magic into a small but rapidly flowing
vortex, manipulating an embroidery needle, swiftly piercing through the crowd. In a flash, the needle pierced the head of the Copper Leopard
Gang representative. The embroidery needle pierced his right temple, leaving only a tiny,
barely perceptible wound with a single drop of blood. The needle lodged in his brain caused the Copper Leopard Gang representative to collapse, screaming, before quickly
dying. His death abruptly changed the slightly tense atmosphere, filling everyone with fear and apprehension at any potential
enemy.

Chapter One: The Petrification Curse

Joseph, ignoring his back injury, immediately jumped out of bed and asked Zilan, "
Where is Jessica? Take me to her quickly!"

Led by Zilan, Joseph rushed to Jessica's room where she was recuperating and immediately pushed open the door
.

Jessica sat comfortably in a rocking chair, knitting a sweater. She appeared energetic and
healthy, her red hair still as vibrant as a flame. A purple robe encased her tall, voluptuous figure
, exuding the charm of a mature wife.

Only her large, bright eyes were now bandaged.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Joseph knelt down beside Jessica, anxiously asking, "
How are your eyes? Tell me quickly, how serious is it? Can it be cured?"

Jessica exclaimed in surprise, "Joseph, is that you? You're finally back! Mom was so worried
! How did you get through the checkpoint? The security bureau is very strict now!"

Joseph said, "My situation isn't important. I'm as strong as an ox. I'm staying in the countryside, eating
and sleeping well. Don't worry."

Jessica gently stroked Joseph's face and hair, saying softly, "It's nothing serious
, just your eyes... " "I'm petrified, that's all I can see. I'm perfectly healthy, and in fact
, I could fight alongside Baker without any problem. My ears are more sensitive than my eyes;
I can accurately identify Baker by voice even in a large crowd. However, I can't distinguish my own
men from enemies. To avoid accidentally harming my own people, Baker forced me to stay here to recover,
but I'm perfectly fine! I'll just have to knit sweaters for Baker and you every day."

Joseph felt relieved upon hearing this. If Jessica were to go blind forever, he would never
forgive himself for abandoning her.

Joseph hurriedly pressed, "Then why not use magic to undo the petrification? Although
few people know how to dispel petrification, it's not like no one does."

Jessica, who was blind, still had the composure to say, "You yourself said that
very few people know how to dispel petrification. Because of the infighting among the four major gangs, Carthage is in chaos, and we are at
a disadvantage. Where can we find someone to dispel petrification in such a short time? We can only wait until we find
an expert to help."

Joseph immediately stood up and said, "I'll go find someone right now!"

Zilan, however, said with a melancholy tone, "Grey..." "Mrs. S, lying to your own son is no good
!"

Jessica raised her voice, her tone stern. "Miss Zilan, don't you understand my
feelings as a mother? Baker is risking his life every day fighting the enemy, and he's also
busy trying to find someone to lift the spell on me. He's become so thin it breaks my heart. Why make Joseph worry about me
?"

Zilan said helplessly, "If we find someone to lift the petrification spell, that's fine. But in your current
condition, you're only alive by miracles. I don't want Joseph to regret it for the rest of his life after you pass away
." Jessica's face was solemn, her voice carrying an air of authority: "

Don't underestimate me! You think a mere
petrification spell can take my life? As Baker's wife and Joseph's mother, I'm not
that weak. I am Jessica Grace, known as 'The Crimson Storm.'"

Joseph asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? Wasn't it just an ordinary petrification spell?"

Jessica reassured Joseph, "It was a little special, but don't worry about it. You
can tell how healthy I am just by looking at my complexion. Do I look like someone about to die? If the Great Sun God were to show
you mercy, he could even give you a few more brothers and sisters. I'm just afraid you'll be jealous."

Zilan interjected, "This isn't an ordinary petrification spell. Everyone
who was petrified except for Mrs. Grace died."

Joseph said seriously, "Zilan..." "Explain yourself clearly!"

Zilan explained, "Ordinary petrification spells are affected by the amount of magic power, which influences the range and
duration of petrification. The strongest petrification spell can achieve permanent petrification. The larger the range and the longer
the petrification lasts, the more magic power is required, and the longer the incantation takes. But the Golden Lion Gang found a master
who simply modified it, making the petrification spell incredibly terrifying. If it weren't for Baker and Jessica
, he might have wiped out our entire gang by himself."

Jessica said angrily, "What's so great about it! It's just a partial petrification spell. That guy
only knows how to play tricks."

Joseph breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it only petrifies the eyes, it won't be fatal at all
!"

Zilan replied, "Although they are enemies, I have to admire their creativity. He..."
The petrification is concentrated in a very small part of the human body, which is extremely deadly. Moreover, the small area and
concentrated power make the petrified part very difficult to remove, and it can easily
kill anyone who is petrified. "
Joseph asked, "Where exactly is the petrification?"

Zilan replied, "It's simple, the blood! Petrifying even a tiny amount of blood in the body can cause a blood
clot. Another possibility is that the petrified blood cuts a blood vessel, causing massive internal bleeding. Afterwards
, Beck personally dissected over a hundred corpses for Jessica's sake to find the cause. We had no idea beforehand
, only that it started with the eyes, and everyone who was petrified died within half an hour."

Joseph felt a chill run down his spine, thinking, "So, Jessica could die at any moment..." Joseph

then roared angrily, "Who is that guy? I'll find him and kill him
to undo the petrification."

Jessica comforted Joseph, "Calm down! Would I let someone who could petrify
me live? He's already dead under my Moonlit Sword."

Zilan continued, "Because the caster was killed immediately, Mrs. Grace's petrification
was less severe than others, which is why she's still alive."

Jessica's eyebrows furrowed. She said, "Don't make it sound like I'm about to die, okay?
I won't die until I see Joseph get married and have children, until I see my grandchildren born!"

Zilan shook her head and said, "Ten days ago, Jessica, you fainted. We believe that
petrified blood clots cut a blood vessel, causing internal bleeding. Although the treatment
repaired the blood vessels, we still don't know how many petrified blood clots are still circulating inside you."

Jessica said nonchalantly, "Don't act like a coward, there..." " Then we can use healing magic
,"

Zilan said, emphasizing, "You know the principle of healing magic. If it's not
applied promptly when there's bleeding, you're doomed! Even worse, if the stone blocks a blood vessel, healing magic
won't work."

Joseph knelt down dejectedly, thinking, "How could this have happened?"

He rested his head on Jessica's fair legs, holding her slender feet in his hands, and
said with heartache, "Mom, I will definitely heal your wounds, I will never let you die!"

Jessica gently stroked Joseph's head and said, "It's good that you're back safe and sound
. For the past six months, I've been so worried that I couldn't eat or sleep. As for my wounds, don't
worry too much, Baker will definitely find a way to heal them."

There was not a trace of unease in Jessica's words, her face showing a firm and confident
expression. Joseph thought to himself, "Does she really trust Baker that much? She's so convinced he'll succeed

without even a sliver of doubt ." 　　Smelling Jessica's delicate fragrance and feeling her warm body temperature, Joseph resolved to find a cure for Jessica before Baker did. 　　Due to excessive blood loss, Joseph had actually been unconscious for a night. During this time, Kahn and the mercenaries had taken over the Silver Wolf Gang's current headquarters. Joseph immediately ordered his men to find a doctor and someone skilled in removing petrification, offering a reward of 30,000 gold coins—a reward Kahn had strongly opposed. 　　"I don't care how much money I spend for Jessica! Even if it slows down my progress towards my ideals , it doesn't matter. Without Jessica, even ideals are meaningless." This was Joseph's true thought. 　　Joseph moved into Jessica's room with Xiao Cui and Karin, and Karin and he took care of Jessica together. That evening, Baker, who had personally led his troops in a day-long battle against the Golden Lion Gang, returned home, his clothes stained with blood, dragging his weary body. 　　Joseph, who opened the door to greet Baker, noticed he had lost over ten pounds, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was covered in a stubble that looked like it hadn't been trimmed in a long time. His once vibrant face now bore a hint of haggardness. 　　The father and son, who hadn't seen each other in a long time, embraced warmly. Baker, holding Joseph's hand, led him into the house, saying , "It's so good to see you back! I so desperately needed someone to help take care of Jessica. You know how stubborn she is; she wouldn't even allow me to hire a maid or slave to handle the housework. And you actually brought hundreds of men back to help this time, that's really impressive! You seem to have grown a lot, my son, now you can take on important responsibilities in the gang." 　　Jessica, who was helping Karin carry the cooked dishes to the table, smiled softly and said, "I am the mistress of this house, although I am now..." "I can't see, but I remember the location of every single item in the room. And these ears—ten years of hard-earned martial arts skills are no joke! I can even hear your rumbling stomachs! I don't need anyone to take care of me. Baker, you've been talking about hiring maids and slave girls lately. Are you trying to cheat on me, trying to pick wildflowers outside? I'm warning you, if you dare to be unfaithful, I'll retaliate by having an affair myself ." 　　Baker reached behind his wife, wanting to touch her smooth, firm buttocks, to test how good her hearing was. 　　Just as his hand was about to touch his wife's bottom under her skirt, Jessica held a knife to Baker's neck and said, "Little Cui, Karin, and Joseph are all here. What kind of joke are you making? From now on, marital intimacy is only allowed in the bedroom at night, understand? If you do it again, you'll be sleeping on the living room floor!" 　　Baker shrugged and said to Joseph, "There's a limit to how much you can rely on others. No matter how many times I tell Jessica, she just won't listen to me." 　　If it were the old Joseph, he probably would have been burning with jealousy, but now he had let go of his childish competitive mentality towards Baker. As long as the two of them were happy, that was enough. 　　Joseph thought to himself, "Baker and Jessica are deeply in love, and marital intimacy is only natural. I am an ill-intentioned third party, and I have no right to be jealous. Jealousy will only burn my heart. Even if I have to become a despicable devil, I must have Jessica, but this matter must be kept secret."

" It's all done in secret, because I intend to be Jessica's secret lover for life, to have an affair forever, and to keep it a secret from Beck
until the day he passes away."

Joseph looked at Little Tsui, who was staring excitedly at the fruits and vegetables on the table, drooling with excitement .
He flicked her back with his finger, signaling her to speak for him, but Little Tsui shook
her head vigorously in refusal.

Joseph tugged at Little Tsui's clothes with his finger, forcing her to speak again.

Little Tsui then said helplessly, "If Mrs. Grace wants to have an affair,
how about going to Joseph?"

Beck laughed loudly, "No way! How can I take
Jessica away from her without Hannibal's skills? Besides, if Joseph and Jessica are together, that's incest!"

Although Jessica's face was bandaged, her embarrassed and ashamed expression was still visible
.

Jessica said to Xiao Cui in a slightly reproachful tone, "Xiao Cui, you can't do that! You
know Joseph has a mother complex. If he takes this seriously
, I, as his mother, will be in trouble."

Xiao Cui stuck out her little tongue, tapped her head with her slender hand, and made
an apologetic face. Baker laughed even louder when he saw this.

Jessica, who was blind, couldn't see anything and couldn't help but raise her voice as she said to Xiao Cui
, "Xiao Cui, what strange thing have you done again? Baker, if you laugh again, I'll make
you a chili feast tomorrow, until your lips are swollen and red."

Joseph, somewhat hurt, held Jessica's hand and said, "Mom, don't be
worried or bothered. Xiao Cui already knows she was wrong."

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, her face flushed but trying to remain calm, saying, "I'm not
worried! Even if I can't see, I can see with my mind."

Xiao Cui took a bite of the apple Karin threw to her, feeling very uncomfortable. Why did
she have to do this test for Joseph?

Joseph frankly said, "Since you're not worried, then let me fulfill my filial duty
. It's only right for a son to be filial to his mother."

Joseph used a fork to bring chopped sausage slices to Jessica's fragrant red lips.

Jessica smiled sweetly and said, "Why are you so well-behaved? You're not going through your rebellious phase and arguing with Mom anymore,
are you?"

Joseph didn't say anything more. Being able to feed Jessica bite by bite like this
was already a great happiness for him.

Baker thought to himself that it had been a long time since he'd had such a harmonious family situation, and moved, he
said to Joseph, "Joseph, why don't you move back home? Although we're family, we're not
related by blood. Your mother is so young and beautiful, it's understandable that you have a mother complex. But
shouldn't you say goodbye to your mother complex and your adolescent jealousy of your father? Or I could give you
a younger brother or sister. I've worked hard for ten years, and it's time to reap the rewards from Jessica's belly . Once Jessica is a few months pregnant and her figure has changed, you shouldn't be so obsessed with your mother
anymore."
"We kissed."

Joseph asked in surprise, "Jessica, are you pregnant?"

Jessica said a little shyly, "Don't listen to Baker's nonsense. Of course we want to have a child.
Although we don't have to worry about you being jealous of the birth of a younger brother or sister, the Sun God doesn't protect us, and
we still haven't succeeded in having a child."

Little Cui flew to Baker's shoulder, patting his head gently, thinking to herself, "Uncle Baker, I
beg you, hurry up and make a child with your wife, so Joseph can stop his delusions and stop just
laughing!"

As a slave, Karin couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Joseph while serving everyone meals. Although
they weren't related by blood, he had such loving parents and could keep such expensive pets as elves
. He already had such a good family but wasn't satisfied, actually fantasizing about incest with his mother. In comparison
, her childhood was much more tragic, spent every day under her father's domestic violence.

Halfway through the meal, Baker asked Joseph how he had managed to find the money to hire so many
mercenaries and how he had gotten the authorities to drop the arrest warrant for him.

Joseph decided not to reveal his relationship with Princess Anne, only saying that
while being chased by Helena, he had captured her instead. He claimed that she later fell in love with him after their affair, becoming obsessed with him and not only dropping the arrest
warrant but also financially supporting him.

Baker instructed Karin to bring a bottle of wine, and as the father and son raised their glasses in celebration, he said, "You
've really grown up! I can't underestimate you anymore. You've turned misfortune into fortune so easily, gaining status through your wife. You should
make good use of your relationship with Helena; your career will definitely reach new heights in the future. I'll talk to
Fabian tomorrow and ask him to promote you to faction leader."

Jessica, on the other hand, looked worried and uneasy. Joseph, seeing this, was delighted,
thinking, "Is Jessica perhaps jealous of my relationship with Helena?"

Jessica said thoughtfully, "Mom, I'm very happy that you have someone you like, but
Helena's personality is twisted; she's really not a good wife candidate."

After dinner, as Jessica and Karin cleared the dishes, Jessica said to Joseph:
"You should stay home and rest for the next few days. You've just returned from a long trip,
and you must be quite tired. But I won't allow you to stay home doing nothing. I don't need
any care; I can manage the house perfectly well on my own. If you're a real man
, you should prioritize your career and help your father build the empire so that the Silver Wolf Gang can overcome our current difficulties
."

Joseph wanted to argue, explaining that he was genuinely worried about Jessica's health, but
Baker stopped him.

After Jessica and Karin went into the kitchen, Baker said to Joseph, "That's just
how your mother is. No matter what we say, we can't change her mind. Let Karin stay home and take care of her
. Jessica makes it sound like she can do anything, and whether she can see or not doesn't matter, but..."
" You've seen it too, if no one feeds her, she gets her clothes dirty. Someone's
spying on her while she changes, and they've even set traps without her knowing. It's really worrying! In any case, I
have to find a way to treat her as soon as possible."

The next day, Joseph handed over the command and employment of the mercenaries to Kahn, while
he himself prepared to join his father Baker's Grey Wolf faction to deal with
the offensive of the Golden Lion, Bronze Leopard, and Iron Bear gangs. In these limited few days, he wanted to try his best to get along well with Jessica.

Chapter Two: The Adventure of Peeping at Her Bath

Although she couldn't see, Jessica still did her best to do all the laundry, cooking, and cleaning
. Joseph was captivated by her elegant and charming demeanor as a virtuous wife and mother,
which excited him greatly.

For example, when Jessica was hanging clothes to dry on the balcony, Joseph would lie on the ground trying to peek under her skirt
—something absolutely impossible for her if her eyesight were normal.

Jessica's slender feet, clad in white socks, looked as lovely as a young girl's. Joseph's
legs, slender and graceful, flowed from calves to thighs, a sight to behold
. Further up, a dark patch appeared, almost revealing his underwear.

At that moment, Jessica cautiously took a step back, avoiding Joseph's gaze, and asked,
"Joseph, why are you lying on the floor?"

Joseph lied, "I dropped a towel, and I don't know where the wind blew it.
I was checking if it fell under the closet."

Unsuspecting, Jessica listened to Joseph's explanation and continued hanging the laundry. She
never imagined that her son would be so bold as to openly and brazenly feast his eyes on her body right under Karin and Xiao Cui's noses
.

Xiao Cui, who had fallen in love with Joseph, hated his lecherous behavior and wanted to tell Jessica about
his shameful acts. However, telling Jessica would damage their mother-son relationship, and Joseph
would never forgive her. So, Xiao Cui could only pace around Jessica's feet, sulking, and
glaring fiercely at Joseph.

As for Karin, seeing Joseph's shameful behavior, as a slave, she sneered inwardly, but for some reason,
felt restless and uneasy. If there was anything more Karin wanted than money
, it was family affection, though she herself didn't realize it. Seeing Joseph,
who had a good family, acting like a madman because of his infatuation with his mother, Karin really wanted to
kick this lecherous man a few times to bring him to his senses!

By evening, after a day of exploration, Joseph had accurately grasped Jessica's hearing
range, while Baker, in preparation for a night raid on the enemy, wouldn't return until late that night.

After instructing Karin to bathe Jessica, Joseph went to the bathroom window
, stripped naked, and climbed in.

Xiao Cui, her eyes red from crying, angrily confronted the naked Joseph, shouting, "Enough
! Aren't you going to stop your perverted behavior? Mr. Baker is fighting desperately for the survival of his family and gang
; even Kahn and Hinrichs have joined the effort. And you, as his son, want to
lay a hand on your mother at this time? Are you even human? Can't you put away your perverted, beastly desires
and calm down?"

Joseph didn't get angry. Instead, with a sad and helpless expression, he said to Xiao Cui, "If it
were just lust, I could tolerate it, but my love for Jessica has long since..." " It's reached
the point of overflowing floodwaters and being unstoppable,"

Joseph continued, "You love me too,
don't you? Loving someone means wanting them to be happy, that's true. I want Jessica to be happy too, and I know that her being with Baker
is the happiest and most fulfilling thing for both of them. I understand the possibility that I couldn't interfere in their deep love
, but I'm not some unrealistic saint who can silently bless them while hiding
away and weeping. Loving someone, frankly, is wanting to possess and have them, isn't it? Who
wouldn't want the one they love?"

"I can receive Jessica's care and attention, but not romantic love, only maternal
love, and I don't care about that. Even if I can't have her heart, I still want her body, I want to
possess her whole being! If I can't have her now, why can't I at least look at her? Besides, I
bathed with her when I was a child, so let's just treat this as a beautiful memory of the past. Xiao Cui, if you love me
, you absolutely mustn't tell Jessica later. If you agree, I
'll go on a date with you for a day, and I'll treat you with the sincerity one would show a lover. But if you tell her, then you
can leave! Go back to your fairy homeland." Joseph even threatened Xiao Cui in the end.

Xiao Cui's heart was in turmoil, and tears streamed down her face like broken kites.

Joseph's body trembled violently, and he said to Xiao Cui with a troubled expression, "Forgive me,
this kind of opportunity doesn't come often, I can't let it slip away."

Although Joseph was a pervert, he wasn't a beast. His greatest desire was to hold Jessica
in his arms, embrace her tightly, and comfort her, telling her that with him by her side, she didn't need to worry about permanent
blindness or the constant threat to her life. He wanted her to cry peacefully in his arms, releasing
the emotions that had been building up inside her. But as her son, he couldn't do it. Jessica was highly guarded; even if Joseph
had no romantic feelings for her, she wouldn't let him easily embrace her.

Because Joseph was Jessica's son, because he had known her ten
years later than Baker, because of age, status, and their mother-son relationship, Joseph was in a position where he wasn't allowed to express his love . Under this twisted mindset, it was understandable that
Joseph developed into a perverted voyeur . 　　Joseph knew from experience that rapid movements of the hands and feet, the sound of clothes rubbing together, and even loud breathing were enough to trigger Jessica's hearing. So as long as he moves slowly, isn't wearing clothes, and controls his breathing, Jessica won't notice him even if he's standing several feet away.

Soon after, he entered the bathroom with Karin and Jessica, both wrapped in towels. Joseph
's entire focus was on Jessica; Karin, equally exposed, seemed
invisible to him.

Jessica's appearance was still charming and beautiful. Her bandaged eyes lacked some of her masculine air,
but instead gave her a fragile, sickly look, as if she needed pity. Her long, beautiful, fiery red hair was tied up in an
elegant bun at the back of her head.

Tall and voluptuous, Jessica possessed slender shoulders with soft lines, and a pair of snow-white, alluring
arms, shyly crossed over her chest. Her full, fleshy breasts were covered by the towel, and
the shapely curves between her slender waist and hips, though concealed by the towel, were still faintly visible. Below
that were a pair of slender, long legs with skin as white as jade.

In terms of physical beauty, Jessica was undoubtedly a woman of exceptional beauty. However,
the other beauties Joseph shared a night with, such as Julia, Princess Anne, Helena, Karin, and Natasha, each possessed
their own unique charm. Jessica wasn't so stunningly beautiful as to overshadow them all.

Joseph's infatuation and attachment to Jessica stemmed entirely from the fact that she was his first love
, a beautiful woman who had fought bravely amidst blood and fire, and simultaneously, a gentle
mother who had raised him. These factors combined made her truly special!

Jessica gave an awkward smile and said, "It's been ten years! I've never bathed with anyone before
, I'm a little embarrassed."

Karin glanced at Joseph standing naked to the side, a flirtatious expression on her pretty face, and giggled
, "You mean with someone of the same sex, right? I don't believe you've never bathed with your husband."

Jessica blushed and said, "Of course, my husband is an exception, and it's the same with that boy Joseph
."

Karin put her arm around Jessica's shoulder and lewdly said, "Since you've bathed together, you must have
bathed with…" " Husband, you did it in the water, didn't you? Tell me how it went!"

Jessica sat cross-legged on the edge of the bathtub, pulling the towel around her even tighter. With a
hint of displeasure and shyness, she said, "How could I possibly talk about something so private between husband and wife? Miss Karin
, please don't ask any more questions, okay?"

Seeing Jessica's alluring and shy posture, Joseph's erection surged,
and he slowly knelt down, bringing his head close to Jessica's waist, trying to peek at the boundless
spring scenery beneath the towel.

Xiao Cui, who had flown out the window, pursed her red lips, watching these heartbreaking scenes.

Feeling hurt by Jessica's rejection, Karin was deeply unhappy.
She harbored a mischievous thought about this goddess Joseph had always dreamed of, wanting to tease Jessica a bit. Although Joseph
couldn't do anything inappropriate to Jessica, she, being a woman, could do as she pleased.

Karin reached for Jessica's towel and said, "Let me lather you with soap."

Jessica blushed, lowered her head, and held onto the towel tightly, saying, "I
can do this myself, Miss Karin, you should wash yourself first!"

Karin angrily threw the soap on the ground, letting it slide erratically, and
said, "Didn't you tell your husband and Joseph that you're omnipotent even if you can't see
? Now try picking up this soap and see if you can do it without my help
."

Jessica felt her tone might have been hurtful, but Karin's reaction was excessive
. Gritting her teeth, she knelt down, trying to find the fallen soap.

Startled, Joseph backed away from Jessica's searching hands,
his gaze lecherously fixed on the deep, alluring cleavage between Jessica's breasts.

Watching the pair of white jade pendants sway back and forth, Joseph was so excited he felt like he was on fire
.

Jessica quickly cornered Joseph against the wall, leaving him with nowhere to escape.
Jessica, on all fours in a lewd, doggy-like position, had her head
less than a foot away from Joseph's erect penis.

A surge of lustful thoughts flooded Joseph's mind, fantasizing about Jessica
licking and kissing his balls with relish in this position. But if she actually bumped into his body, he was doomed! Joseph frantically
gestured to Karin, signaling her to stop Jessica.

Karin, however, was blushing and her heart pounding with excitement. This time, Joseph had brought it upon himself. If she didn't stop
her, there would be a good show when Jessica's porcelain-like face collided with his huge penis
!

For Karin, this was undoubtedly the best revenge against Joseph, but if the truth were exposed
, the consequences would be unpredictable. They were still family, and Jessica might forgive
Joseph after her anger subsided. However, Joseph would undoubtedly seek revenge against her at all costs. Besides,
times had changed; Joseph's status was now vastly different. Following him might truly allow her to climb the social
ladder, a highly tempting idea for Karin.

In this critical moment, Joseph was already drenched in sweat with fear when Karin finally spoke up:
"Stop being so stubborn! I've already picked up the soap, haven't you noticed? Is it so
easy to deceive people?"

Jessica, displeased, knelt on the ground facing Karin. "What exactly are you
trying to achieve by doing this to me?"

Karin, who had just deceived Jessica, slowly bent down to pick up the soap,
saying with a hint of dissatisfaction, "I just can't stand your stubbornness and obstinacy. Your husband
and son care about you so much, they want someone to take care of you, but you won't accept it.
Do you feel comfortable and at ease letting them down? You do need someone to take care of you, but you won't admit it! Even if someone
is peeping through the window, can you see them?"

If her eyes hadn't been petrified, Jessica might already be teary-eyed. Jessica
pleaded, "I just don't want them to worry about me."

Karin said, "Then let me take care of you. That way, Joseph and Baker can
rest easy."

At the same time, a few drops of sweat from Joseph's body fell onto Jessica's fragrant shoulder. She paused
, looking up.

Karin quickly said, "That's not sewage, just water droplets from the wall." Jessica
lowered her head again after hearing this.

Karin knelt down on one knee, patted the edge of the bathtub, and said, "Mrs. Grace, please sit here,
let me bathe you."

Jessica, no longer insisting, complied with Karin's instructions and sat on the edge of the bathtub, then untied
the towel from her chest and handed it to Karin to place.

Jessica's alabaster-white body was fully exposed. Her rounded, bowl-shaped breasts, after years of absence
, reappeared before Joseph's eyes, along with her slender waist and curvaceous, sexy hips—
exactly the same image and size as Joseph remembered. Time had
left no trace on Jessica's body; she was truly a masterpiece of nature.

Karin poured cold and hot water into the wooden tub, testing the temperature to ensure it was comfortable, before
scooping it up and pouring it over Jessica. The water cascaded down her shoulders, breasts, and thighs, soaking
Jessica's entire body.

Joseph, ecstatic, barely managed to suppress his increasingly rapid breathing, lest
Jessica notice. He then slowly grasped his erect penis, his fingers moving up and
down, openly masturbating within three feet of Jessica.

Jessica then raised her slender hands, wiping her cheeks and arms, making her
breasts appear even fuller. The way her breasts swayed, the nipples gently
bobbing, almost made Joseph's nose bleed.

Karin complimented, "Mrs. Grace has such a wonderful figure, a perfect waist and hips,
such a curvaceous figure, and skin as white as frost and as smooth as snow. You really can't tell she's a year older than me; she's
old enough to be a mother."

Jessica, momentarily embarrassed, said, "Miss Karin, please don't say that. It makes me sound so old
. Joseph isn't my biological son."

Karin giggled, "But didn't Mrs. Grace get married at sixteen? If she had
a child then, he'd be ten years old now. My words..." "I didn't say anything wrong!"

Jessica blushed shyly and laughed, "Everyone gets old eventually. These past few years I've really wanted
Joseph to call me 'Mom,' but now that he actually is, I'm a little scared. Luckily, he won't
call me that in public, otherwise it would be very embarrassing for a child this age to call me 'Mom' in a public place
."

Karin poured bucket after bucket of water onto Jessica, focusing particularly on
the area between her legs, so that Joseph, who was secretly watching, could experience the pleasure of fantasizing.

Karin continued, "The gods really treat their wives well! They live a carefree life, receive their husbands
' utmost love, don't have to compete with other wives and concubines, and have a dutiful son like Joseph."

Jessica giggled sweetly, "Joseph can hardly be called dutiful, can he? He
was very mischievous and difficult to manage as a child. After entering adolescence, he became rebellious, constantly demanding to move out
. For a while, he only drank and raced horses, even frequenting brothels like those bad men.
It really worried me. I often wondered if his disobedience was because of me..." "Are we not related by blood
, or is it because we're close in age?"

Karin lathered her palms with soap and said to Jessica, "Let me lather your hands with
soap now, Madam."

Jessica quickly raised her hand to stop her, saying, "Let me do this myself! It's embarrassing to be served
."

But Karin said, "Madam Grace comes from a noble family in high society; she should be quite used to
having maids and female slaves do this."

Jessica blushed slightly and laughed awkwardly, "That was ten years ago. Besides,
you're not a maid or a female slave."

"What do you mean 'not a female slave'? It's your good son who registered me as a slave, riding on
me every day to vent his bestiality, forcing me to take care of his and that little flying insect Xiao Cui's daily needs. And that
's not all; he also swindled 50,000 gold coins from my private savings. Only a stupid, idiotic
mother like you wouldn't know about your lewd son's evil deeds. But it's all for the best. Your
lewd and immoral beast son is standing three steps away, watching your naked body masturbate, and
you're completely unaware. Truly, evil has its retribution!" Karin gritted her teeth in anger, really wanting
to slap Jessica right then and there.

What Karin thought was one thing, but since Joseph had strictly ordered her to personally
wipe Jessica's skin with her fingers, she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Actually, Mrs. Grace, you don't need to
care about my feelings. I come from a humble background and have always been used to hardship and being looked down upon . For a time, I even worked in a bathhouse, although it was just taking care of female customers, but I'm very used to the work of
bathing and massaging . Let me repay your family's great kindness this time! If you hadn't been so forgiving, perhaps I would have been executed along with that traitor Braun for betraying the gang. Now you insist on not accepting it, do you look down on someone as lowly as me ?" After saying this, Karin even faked crying a few times. 　　Jessica's heart softened upon hearing this, and she quickly said, "Miss Karin, please don't say that. If you've misunderstood, it's my fault. Please take care of applying the soap." 　　Karin then proceeded without hesitation, her fingers forming claws as she squeezed Jessica's firm, full breasts, saying, "Mrs. Grace, your breasts are really big, soft as cotton, smooth as silk, almost the same size as mine. Mr. Baker is truly fortunate!" 　　Jessica giggled as Karin rubbed and pinched her pert breasts, saying, "Stop it, don't joke about things like this. If you keep doing this, I'll get angry." 　　Looking at Jessica, whom he had always admired and longed for, naked and being fondled, her breasts being grabbed and her breasts being caressed while she giggled , Joseph, who had been diligently masturbating, finally reached his climax, feeling an intense pleasure...

A surge of hot milk welled up in his lower abdomen, spraying onto the naked Jessica and Karin, who was only wrapped in a towel .

Since absorbing the White Dragon Egg potion, Joseph's output of hot milk had increased five
to ten times compared to normal, and this time, with Jessica, the woman he so desperately desired, the amount
was even greater than usual. The cloudy semen smeared Joseph's seed all over Jessica's fiery red hair, her beautiful face, her full
breasts and slender waist, and her round buttocks and beautiful legs.

Feeling herself being splashed with a warm, sticky liquid, Jessica
asked Karin in surprise, "Miss Karin, what did you pour on me?"

Karin, pale with fright, quickly replied to Jessica, "This is
a local product we brought back from the Kalahari Kingdom; it's liquid soap."

Unsuspecting, Jessica said, "Soap can be liquid!"

In fact, Jessica was now wondering why Karin had said the soap was from the Kalahari
Kingdom, because Joseph had concealed his affair with Princess Anne
.

Karin wore a cold smile, thinking, "I've been sprayed with so much milk by your lecherous son,
sometimes he even forces me to drink it. Now I'll give you, this mother who failed to raise her son properly,
a bath in the fishy smell of your beastly son's milk. A depraved son and a licentious mother make a perfect pair!"

Karin then used her ten slender fingers to
smear Joseph's semen, which contained the ingredients of the White Dragon Egg potion and had aphrodisiac properties, onto Jessica's alluring body, especially her breasts
and her private parts. Karin diligently smeared it
two or three times.

Jessica's cheeks flushed, her breathing quickened, and she felt a restless heat burning within her.
She gasped, "Those sensitive areas don't need to be washed so many times!"

Karin replied, "We're all women, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Women
know their own bodies best; those areas produce a lot of secretions and get dirty easily, so they need to be cleaned even more thoroughly
."

Just then, Joseph lightly pressed his fingers on Karin's back, gesturing for them to switch places.

Karin was stunned. She thought, "This guy is just lust-driven, he's gone
mad with greed! He dares to do something like this! He could be exposed at any moment. If things go wrong,
he'll get his comeuppance, but I'll be innocently implicated! I wonder
what Jessica and Baker will do to me afterwards…"

Karin shook her head frantically in refusal.

Chapter Three: Reluctance to Part

But Joseph slipped his fingers inside Karin's towel, pressing them against her anus to coerce her.
The implication was that if she didn't comply, she would be punished again that night.

Karin finally hardened her heart and stepped aside, thinking, "This is your own doing. If Jessica
finds out, I'll have to confess and see if I can avoid being implicated."

As for Xiao Cui, watching this scene from outside the window, she was filled with a mixture of sadness and anger, silently weeping
. She hadn't expected Joseph to go so far. Given Xiao Cui's personality, she should have told Jessica
the truth long ago. "But how heartbroken Mrs. Grace would be!" Thinking of this
, Xiao Cui hesitated. Finally, she made up her mind that she would never allow Joseph to have a second chance.
Next time, no matter what, she would stand up and stop him. This time, she could only hope that Jessica wouldn't find out.

Human desires have no end! Joseph initially only wanted to peek at Jessica bathing, watching
Karin's fingers roam over Jessica's body. But as his lust intensified, he not only couldn't
control himself and started masturbating, but also sprayed his hot milk all over Jessica. At this point,
he was lucky enough not to be caught, and his lust overwhelmed his reason. He desperately wanted to
touch Jessica's soft, smooth body; he thought, just a touch would be enough.

Joseph's heart pounded wildly. The last time he touched
Jessica's body was when he was a child. Back then, Joseph only found her body beautiful and alluring
, without any lustful thoughts of conquering or possessing her. But now it was completely different.

Joseph knew Jessica was incredibly perceptive; even though she was blind, deceiving her would
n't be easy. Looking at Karin's hand and comparing it to his own,
Joseph noticed a significant size difference. Therefore, he didn't dare to touch Jessica directly with his entire hand. He only dared to spread his palm and use his index
, middle, and ring fingers to touch Jessica's delicate skin. Because the contact area was so small and
localized, even if Jessica was very perceptive, she wouldn't realize it was someone else's hand.

The instant his fingers touched Jessica's skin, Joseph felt an electric shock, his whole body filled with excitement
and joy, almost to the point of tears. Joseph's fingers
roamed over Jessica's body several times, moving from the outer erogenous zones towards the center.

As Joseph's heart pounded, he moved his fingers further from her jade-like thigh toward Jessica's secret garden
, just an inch away from touching her, when Jessica suddenly grabbed his arm and
said solemnly, "Enough! I'm going to get angry if you keep going like this."

Joseph was so frightened that his insides seemed to have shifted, his face turning pale and then red, thinking:
"Could it be that Jessica actually knew everything all along, but just didn't say it?"

Jessica said solemnly, "Miss Karin, your way of touching is rather strange!
Although I don't discriminate against people with homosexual tendencies, I don't have homosexual fetishes. I
'll clean my own body!" Joseph finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jessica, receiving no reply, reached out to touch Joseph and asked, "Why aren't you
answering?"

Just as Jessica's slender fingers were about to touch Joseph's erection, Karin timely
blocked Joseph's groin with her hand and said, "I'm sorry, my joke went too far
, causing Mrs. Grace to misunderstand."

Just as Joseph was racking his brains for a way to escape from Jessica's grasp, another...
Another wave of trouble arose. Baker's voice came from outside the bathroom door: "Jessica, are you in there? I
had a great day and came back early. Let me scrub your back."

Jessica, who had been feeling Karin's behavior was strange today, felt a sense of relief and replied
, "Come in."

Joseph, startled, pulled away from Jessica's hand and scrambled towards the window, while Karin
, pale with fright, cried out, "Wait! I'm in too, Mr. Baker, please wait until I'm dressed
!"

But Jessica's keen hearing caught Joseph's quick movements.
Calculating the location of the window and Karin's voice, she immediately realized there was a third person in the bathroom and
quickly scrambled into the full bathtub.

Jessica, arms crossed and trembling, cried out, "Who else is in the bathroom? Why aren't you saying
anything?" Without a reasonable answer, Jessica would immediately call for her husband outside the door to come to her
rescue.

Joseph, naked, was climbing out of the window. Having no other choice, he clasped his hands together in a prayerful
gesture, earnestly pleading with Xiao Cui for help.

Thinking of Joseph's past kindness and her own love for him, Xiao Cui, seeing
Joseph's pathetic state, reluctantly said, "It's me."

Hearing Xiao Cui's voice, Jessica, embarrassed by her overreaction, said:
"Xiao Cui, why aren't you saying anything if you're here? I thought someone was peeping into the bathroom."

Xiao Cui lied, "I just happened to fly past the window to see
how big Mrs. Grace's breasts were. I didn't expect to find you and Karin getting intimate, and I'm so embarrassed that I blush and
can't speak."

Jessica exclaimed, "We weren't intimate! It was just... Karin was just wiping my body
..."

Standing outside the bathroom door, Baker said excitedly, "Madam, if you're not satisfied tonight
, you have to tell me honestly! Don't do any fake lovemaking with Karin,
or I'll get jealous."

After Xiao Cui flew out the window and Karin got dressed and left, Baker took off his blood-stained clothes
and quickly went into the bathroom.

Watching Jessica soak in the bathtub, her beauty like a lotus emerging from the water,
her shoulders appearing exceptionally sexy through the misty steam, Beck's manhood instantly hardened!

Married for ten years, Beck had had other women, but these were always prostitutes
he'd hired to entertain his men at brothels. Although he had no need for these vulgar women
, as the head of a criminal gang, if he backed down, his men
might spread rumors. Jessica understood this forced pretense,
because the best proof was her husband's undiminished passion for her since their marriage. If it weren't for work
or Jessica's period, he would make love several times a night before falling asleep.

Jessica asked gently, "Any injuries tonight?"

Aroused, Baker replied, "No serious injuries, but I don't know about any other minor cuts. Why don't
you use your cute little mouth to check for yourself?"

Jessica blushed deeply but didn't refuse. Instead, with a shy smile
, she obediently rose from the bathtub and knelt at Baker's feet, her body still wet and naked. She
began kissing Baker's feet with her luscious red lips.

Joseph, naked and hiding outside the bathroom, was utterly shocked. He had imagined Jessica, even during
intimate moments, to be a devoted wife, always lying peacefully in bed and only accepting the missionary position. In his
mind, Jessica was always a virtuous wife, both in public and in bed.

Jessica, whose skin was coated with Joseph's essence containing the White Dragon Egg Elixir, was
particularly aroused tonight. She moved in and out of Baker's crotch, kissing and caressing him with her fingers,
diligently serving her husband.

After his penis became erect, Baker used his large, firm member to slap his wife's
pretty face, while Jessica, deeply in love with her husband, affectionately held it, making
direct contact and rubbing it against her fair cheek.

Next, she extended her delicate tongue to lick his testicles, and kissed the
burning, hard shaft with her luscious red lips, bringing her husband unparalleled pleasure.

Baker said, moved, "Luckily, Jessica, it was your eyes that were petrified, not your little mouth
, so I could continue to enjoy your devoted oral service. Don't worry, to
see your lustful eyes looking at me with longing eyes again as soon as possible, I must find a
way to remove the petrification."

Jessica, with a trusting tone, grasped her husband's large penis and said, "I believe you
can do it! But it would have been better if this part of you had been petrified, then you'd be an indestructible stone spear
, and I could do it all night long."

Baker lewdly laughed, "You little slut! How can you say such things? See how I punish
your lewd mouth." Jessica giggled, preparing to accept her husband's punishment.

Baker grabbed his wife's head, forcing her to open her soft, fragrant mouth, letting her little mouth swallow his
large, thick thing, and the lewd "gurgling" sounds of his penis going in and out of her mouth could be heard
.

Joseph, standing outside the bathroom, immediately recognized the sound.
It was the same sound Karin, Helena, and Princess Anne
made when they performed oral sex on him—the sound of a penis rapidly thrusting in and out of her lips.

Listening to Jessica and Baker's intimate sounds, Joseph felt a sense of goddess collapse. His
unattainable goddess was now a little slut with his penis in her mouth.

Joseph wasn't jealous, nor could he be. His intimacy with his wife was perfectly natural and
justified. In their private time together, they were free to do whatever they wanted
. They were not wrong; the one at fault was Joseph, the deliberately intrusive third party. Jealousy would only...
Joseph was distressed and sinking into a deeper sense of guilt; he truly felt pathetic.

Although the goddess-like image of Jessica, excessively idealized by Joseph in his mind, had crumbled, Joseph
perceived a more real and flesh-and-blood Jessica. His primal instincts were crystal
clear; sitting on the ground, his battering ram remained raised high. Consumed by lust
, Joseph couldn't help but fantasize about bursting into the bathroom and, together with his adoptive father Baker, attacking Jessica, this married woman, for a
rebellious and passionate sexual encounter.

At that moment, Joseph looked down at his feet and noticed Xiao Cui staring intently at his
shameful state, instantly feeling ashamed.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Cui suddenly and quickly undressed, revealing her youthful face and large breasts, her smooth, white
skin and alluring S-shaped figure. Then, Xiao Cui opened her arms and embraced Joseph's erect penis.

Although Xiao Cui was willful and capricious, she possessed an unyielding and stubborn personality,
refusing to give up even in the face of Jessica, a formidable rival. Witnessing Joseph's shameless behavior,
she was heartbroken but also determined to use her true love to save him, to
rescue his soul trapped in a prison of debauchery. But spiritual love alone wouldn't suffice.

Xiao Cui overcame her own fastidiousness and resistance, smearing the sticky
dewdrop on her erect penis onto the entire pinkish protrusion. Xiao Cui's two slender arms were roughly equivalent to the
soft, boneless little fingers of an ordinary woman.

Joseph felt a blissful pleasure, as if someone were performing oral sex on him. Although Xiao Cui couldn't have sex with him,
in some ways she possessed a talent far surpassing Karin, Helena, and Princess Anne—that talent lay in
her ten tiny fingers.

Although Xiao Cui's fingers were only the size of bamboo skewers, they were incredibly soft, supple, and nimble.
The caresses of those tiny hands by her ten fingers felt to Joseph far surpassed the touch of any beautiful finger, and
were incomparable to any artificial prop in the world.

Being embraced by his own enslaved elf, her ten fingers playing with the tip of his penis, coupled
with her rubbing her cheek and touching his large penis with her tongue, gave Joseph a perverse feeling,
far more perverse than his encounters with other orc women like Natasha. It was like bestiality, yet
it was precisely because of this that he felt even more pleasure!

If it were a real wild beast, Joseph wouldn't be excited, but with an elf of another race
, it was different. Xiao Cui, five inches shorter than his throbbing, erect penis, was
clinging to his member; this extreme difference in size gave Joseph a powerful sense of conquest
.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Baker had already ejaculated once, enveloped by Jessica's thin, red lips.
Now, the couple were squeezed in the bathtub, Jessica holding the edge of the tub, half-bent over,
her full, firm breasts being vigorously kneaded by Baker from behind, while Baker thrust into
Jessica from behind, riding within her small, tight, and still youthful flower cave.

Jessica let out seductive moans and cries, repeatedly saying, "Baker...you're so thick, so
strong...this little woman Jessica is about to be killed by your thrusts..."

Baker laughed gleefully, "Is that so? Then let me fuck you to death! Fuck you until you ascend to
the heaven of pleasure."

Jessica cried out in a seductive voice, "Ahhhhh...I'm...I'm flying...my whole body feels like it's
flying...heaven...heaven...ahhhhhh..."

Joseph felt a fiery, burning pleasure spreading throughout his body. In the bathroom, just a wall away
, the Jessica he worshipped and adored was being thrust into by her beloved husband, emitting
moans and gasps no less voluptuous than any other wanton woman in the world.

Beneath him, the little elf, though small in stature, possessed an absolutely first-rate figure
. She clung tightly to his erect penis with her fair, jade-like, soft, cotton-like body. Her two delicate hands,
each with its own purpose, worked diligently: her left hand rapidly wiping the edge of the shaft
, while her right hand inserted her fingers into the ejaculation port at the tip—
a place no woman of any other race in the world could ever reach.

"Mommy… Little Elf… Mommy's moans are so lewd… Little Elf's fingers are so amazing…" Joseph 's ears were completely focused on the bathroom behind him, listening to the soft moans
emanating from his foster mother, Jessica , while his eyes remained fixed on Little Elf's movements, reaching a new level of stimulation both mentally and physically. 　　Jessica, her eyes glazed with desire, cried out in pleasure, "Ahhhhh… Heaven… I've reached heaven …" Baker thrust to the very end of Jessica's flower-like opening, unleashing his full power within. 　　Baker hissed, "Take my seed and give me a child! I've filled this bottomless pit of flesh for ten years, it's time for a reward, isn't it?" 　　Outside the window, amidst Xiao Cui's delicate cries, Joseph forcefully ejaculated his hot milk. Due to the vertical angle of his towering cannon, the white, cloudy semen that shot into the air all fell back onto his body, drenching Xiao Cui completely. 　　Just now, when Xiao Cui had used her slender legs to clamp Joseph's shaft, engaging in vigorous friction , Peach Blossom Spring had also experienced intense pleasure from the physical contact. Although she hadn't completely released her essence, she had still reached orgasm. For Xiao Cui, making a human cannon taller than herself ejaculate was truly an exhausting task. 　　Still basking in the afterglow of her orgasm, Xiao Cui lay within Joseph's semen, smearing cream on her delicate body. Although their bodies weren't fully penetrated due to their size, the pleasure was no less than, and arguably even greater than, the rubbing of genitals between lesbians. 　　Afterwards, Joseph panted heavily, a lewd thought flashing through his mind: what would it be like if Xiao Cui had a human body, with his adoptive mother, adoptive father, himself, and Xiao Cui all enjoying themselves together ? 　　Joseph cupped Xiao Cui, limp and enveloped in his life essence, in his hands, thinking how wonderful it was to dream, even if it was an impossible dream! In reality, he could only stand naked outside the bathroom, eavesdropping on Jessie.

How Jessica and Baker whispered sweet nothings and made love in the bathroom.

Three days passed quickly, and at Jessica's urging, Joseph paid his respects to the gang leader, Fabian.
Apart from Zilan beside Fabian, there was no one else present.

Seeing this annoying gang leader again after six months, Joseph wondered if his memory was
playing tricks on him, or if the person before him was an imposter. The once gloomy, wrinkled old man had now
gained considerable weight, his face was ruddy, and even his gray hair had grown long and was meticulously combed
. His clothes, though in darker shades to suit his age, were impeccably coordinated,
making him look like a carefully dressed upper-class nobleman or wealthy merchant.

Upon seeing Joseph, Fabian chuckled, "Truly, a hero emerges from among the young! I can't believe
you've built a force of a thousand in just half a year. So, have you thought about what to
call your faction? I'll decide."

Joseph, unconcerned by the old man's ever-changing demeanor, readily agreed, "Let's call it the Pervert Faction
!"

Fabian stared blankly, unable to react, while Zilan couldn't help but
laugh, "You're a pervert yourself, fine, but calling your faction the Pervert Faction? That would
lower the entire Silver Wolf Gang's standards."

Looking at Zilan's charming smile, Fabian was completely captivated, wrapping his arm around her
slender waist and saying, "Let's call it the Pervert Faction! A name that can make a beauty smile is worth a
fortune."

Zilan protested playfully, arguing that the name was too vulgar, but Fabian
just smiled without replying, refusing to change it.

Joseph felt a pang of unease watching Zilan, who could easily be Fabian's granddaughter,
nestled in the arms of this wretched old man, laughing and cuddling. Although his past memories made him reluctant to harm
Zilan, seeing her, driven by a twisted Oedipus complex, fall in love with Fabian—
a scheming, cunning, and terminally ill old monster—
would infuriate any man with even a modicum of compassion. It was an absolute tragedy, a cruel twist of fate, to have so cruelly ruined the life of such a beautiful woman.

Fabian was sixty years old; if he lived to be a hundred, he might live another twenty. To think that
Zilan had given away the most beautiful and youthful twenty years of her life to this wretched old man was truly
an outrage against humanity and the heavens.

After a few jokes, Fabian said sentimentally, "In the past, out of jealousy, I
was very harsh on your adoptive father Baker's Gray Wolf faction. However, all those grudges are in the past. Now we are united in our
efforts to fight against a powerful enemy. The entire gang is of one mind and determined to overcome this obstacle. I hope you can forgive this old man
's past grievances. I know you might not believe me just by saying it, but I will soon prove
it with my actions. At my wedding ceremony with Zilan, I will announce that I will step down in five years, and Baker will succeed me as gang leader
."

Joseph naturally didn't believe him, thinking to himself, "Who knows what will happen in five years?" " What kind of world is this?
You might have already fathered several bastards with the Zilan you've touched."

After the meeting, Zilan chased after
Joseph, her face beaming with happiness. She earnestly pleaded with him, "I know you might not trust Fabian, but all his past schemes
were desperate measures to survive in the underworld. Just like how we were kidnapped and forced to kill by Braha
, it wasn't our intention. I hope you can work together for the future of the entire Silver Wolf Gang
!"

Zilan's radiant happiness only made Joseph's heart ache. Joseph couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not marrying that old geezer

for Fabian's money and power ?" 　　Zilan puffed out her cheeks, her face flushed with anger, and said, "What do you take me for? I don't care about money and power. If it were really about money and power, there are plenty of young talents in the nobility and the army! We truly love each other, and he only agreed to marry me because I exchanged my sincerity for his." 　　Joseph continued, "Even if he becomes a penniless old man, will you still like him?" 　　Zilan answered without hesitation, "Of course!" Chapter Four: A Beauty's Fall 　　Joseph shook his head and said, "It's best if you don't regret it. I really don't understand your wrinkle complex. The older someone is, the more wrinkled they are, the more you like them. You're psychologically disturbed, beyond saving." 　　Even if Zilan's heart were as kind as an angel's, she would still get angry, let alone someone as kind as her . Zilan, furious, grabbed Joseph's ear and yelled, "You, who loves your mother , have no right to talk to me like that! I have a father complex, but don't you have a mother complex too? You incestuous bastard !" 　　Joseph retorted, "Don't confuse the two of you. Jessica won't be thirty for several more years! Even compared to the goddesses of heaven, her beauty is in no way inferior, while what you like is just an old monkey, an old monkey!" 　　After being beaten up by Zilan, Joseph fled in disarray, but the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, thinking that Zilan, this silly girl, was hopelessly infatuated. 　　However, Joseph thought it was for the best, as long as Zilan wouldn't regret it, because they wouldn't allow Fabian to continue as the gang leader. The Silver Wolf Gang is currently in dire straits. Everyone on all sides knows the situation; even with the addition of Joseph's new, elite force from the Perverted Wolf faction, they cannot withstand the siege of the Golden Lion, Bronze Leopard, and Iron Bear. 　　Therefore, even Haze, along with all ten factions within the Silver Wolf Gang, has temporarily set aside their ambitions for the gang leader position. The ten faction leaders have reached a consensus: the most prestigious and powerful member , Beck, will become the gang leader, and they will renew their alliance with Bronze Leopard and Iron Bear. Although Bronze Leopard and Iron Bear have also absorbed some Silver Wolf Gang territory, they have gained no advantage in their battles against the Golden Lion Gang. 　　The Golden Lion Gang's orcs are exceptionally skilled in combat, and coupled with the intelligent leader's wife, their strength is so formidable that they alone can contend with the remaining three gangs. Although the alliance was broken due to Fabian's betrayal , if the Silver Wolf Gang were truly destroyed, Bronze Leopard and Iron Bear would be terrified.

Fabian's alliance against the Golden Lion Gang

was forged after several secret meetings. Bronze Leopard and Iron Bear reached an agreement with Beck and other faction leaders,
agreeing to renegotiate
the alliance in exchange for Fabian's resignation, territorial concessions, and monetary compensation.

Beck chose Fabian and Zilan's wedding day as the date for the uprising .
Only members of the Gray Wolf faction and Joseph knew that the operation would take place on that day. Bronze Leopard and Iron Bear would send a large
force to force Fabian to resign from his post, thus
forcing him to comply even if one of the ten faction leaders secretly informed Fabian.

From that day until the month leading up to the wedding, Joseph sent Princess Luo'er to Helena
for safety. Like the other faction leaders, he focused on fighting the Golden Lion Gang's invasion and dealing with the
police raids. His battles with Bronze Leopard and Iron Bear were merely a pretext. During this period,
Baker sought out various people to remove Jessica's petrification spell, but none succeeded
. Most were charlatans, few possessing real skills. Among them was a doctor named Remagen, rumored to
be able to reattach severed limbs, but he was only known by name and never seen in person. Baker personally went to find
him several times, but he was always out, likely another fraud.

On the day of Fabian's wedding, the Silver Wolf Gang mobilized its elite forces, over four thousand men,
setting various traps inside and outside the headquarters to prepare for battle. They also made preparations for escape and hiding, so that they
could quickly disperse and conceal themselves should the authorities intervene.

A priest invited from the temple presided over the wedding ceremony for Zilan and Fabian. Wearing a white wedding dress
, Zilan looked exceptionally noble and beautiful. The tight-fitting dress accentuated her partially exposed, fair breasts, making them appear
even more magnificent. Her carefully styled hair was elegant and graceful, and with a gentle expression and a smile on her lips, Zilan
looked so happy. Seeing the pair of the older man and younger woman, the Silver Wolf Gang members offered insincere
congratulations and toasts, while secretly feeling sorry for the beautiful Zi Lan.

Just as the banquet was about to begin, Baker had
a portion of the eight thousand men from the Copper Leopard and Iron Bear Gangs, who were surrounding them, suddenly appear at the banquet through their defensive zones.
The leaders of the various factions were quite surprised by this, but it was too late to back down, as the
Golden Lion Gang, which had also sent a large force of over six thousand men, was waiting for both sides to fight to a standstill before
intervening.

Baker spoke first: "Today is truly a day to celebrate! I think we should double the joy
and use this opportunity to end the conflict with the Copper Leopard and Iron Bear Gangs, so I invited their representatives
."

Jessica, who was seated with her husband, then asked, "What do you leaders and gang leaders think
?"

The Silver Wolf Gang members exchanged glances, waiting for someone else to react first.

Dressed in a black tuxedo, looking like a young hero, Haze was the first to speak up, "I also agree
to a ceasefire!"

Of the remaining nine faction leaders, seven, including Joseph, expressed their support. The last
two leaders were Fabian's confidants, one of whom, seeing the shift in the tide, also defected
, leaving only one unsure of what to do.

Fabian seemed unsurprised, saying, "Baker, why did you choose this day to act?"

Joseph thought, "That old fox definitely received advance warning, but he probably didn't expect
us to act so quickly."

Haze said, "The boss should prioritize the bigger picture. Our Silver Wolf Gang is fighting three gangs against one, and everyone is
almost at their breaking point. Like today, several major gangs have mobilized in large numbers, and there are also a large number of police
officers sealing off the area, preparing to arrest people one by one after the various underworld factions have finished fighting. The underworld
is a world of survival of the fittest, and the Silver Wolf Gang, under your leadership, is about to become..." "Anyone can swallow
the weak, but on the occasion of the gang leader's wedding, please consider retiring so that we
can elect a new leader."

Fabian replied, "Choosing a new leader is a good thing, but what brings peace may not
be the choice of you and Baker. I don't want to shed blood at my own wedding, so I've invited a
friend to attend."

From one of the escape tunnels, a burly orc strode out,
his mane gleaming golden in the sunlight, sharp nail clippers on his ten fingers, leading his men
out one by one. It was the Lion Clan orc, the leader of the Golden Lion Gang, "Lion" Damon Kleist
.

In a loud, booming voice, he declared with boundless confidence, "The Silver Wolf Gang's allies don't
necessarily have to be trash like the Copper Leopard and Iron Bear Gangs. I welcome everyone in the Silver Wolf Gang
to be friends with Damon Clayster, and together we can fight against our formidable enemy."

Baker, Joseph, and Haze exchanged bewildered glances. They had thought victory was assured, but they hadn't expected
Fabian, that old fox, to have this trick up his sleeve—joining forces with their greatest foe!

Fabian chuckled smugly, "Isn't it said that there are no eternal enemies or eternal
friends? If we join forces with the Golden Lion Gang, wiping out the Copper Leopard and Iron Bear Gangs will be just around the corner."

The Copper Leopard Gang representative hurriedly said, "Don't be fooled, everyone. If our two gangs are really wiped out, do you
think the Golden Lion Gang will let the Silver Wolf Gang off the hook?"

As orcs continued to pour out of the tunnel, a beautiful
woman wearing a half-mask and dressed in luxurious attire walked to Damon Kleist's side, surrounded by many guards. Although she was wearing a mask,
Joseph guessed from her exposed face, figure, and clothing that there was an 80% chance that she was Julia,
or at least a blood relative like Julia's sister.

Julia smiled and said, "If you don't want to be wiped out, the Copper Leopard and Iron Bear gangs
could consider a truce with us! I hope everyone doesn't think that just because our Golden Lion gang is predominantly orcish, we're
untrustworthy aliens. Those of us in the underworld are just trying to make a living; we have no ambition to truly
swallow up the entire Carthaginian underworld."

Julia paused slightly before continuing, "Besides, would the authorities allow us to act recklessly? Furthermore..."
For years, we've fought tooth and nail, yet the Stone Tiger Gang has stood idly by. We may be
stronger and wealthier, but that doesn't necessarily mean we'd want to start a full-scale war. The officers and soldiers of the Protectorate
haven't gone all out against us these past few months. Otherwise, with a full-scale mobilization of the city's 100,000 troops,
would anyone still have a foothold in Carthage? The official intention is simply to wait until we underworld figures have fought enough
and died enough before launching a major crackdown. This
will definitely reduce Carthage's crime rate for the next few years, and Hannibal's popularity will soar! As long as the interests can be agreed upon, why must you all
fight and kill each other?"

These past few months, Joseph, following Kahn's advice, had Helena teach him a great deal about continental
history in bed. His understanding of political maneuvering had improved rapidly, and he quickly grasped Julia
's intentions.

Joseph didn't believe the Golden Lion Gang was so kind and
unambitious as to think they didn't harbor ambitions to conquer the entire underworld. However, the underworld, frankly speaking, was nothing more than a few
small-time thieves forming cliques under the noses of the authorities. The government couldn't allow a single gang to dominate the capital of the Carthaginian Republic without anyone to control it.
Moreover, there was the external force of the Stone Tiger Gang, which hadn't yet joined the ongoing battles. If the Golden Lion Gang wanted to swallow up
three gangs in one fell swoop, it would inevitably invite the intervention of these two forces. Therefore, although Julia had orchestrated the dismantling of the three-gang
alliance and seized considerable territory, after a major expansion, she chose to stop while she was ahead.

Regarding Julia's unexpected proposal, the representatives of Copper Leopard and Iron Bear whispered amongst themselves. Although
their conversation couldn't be heard, their expressions suggested they weren't planning to act rashly today.

The leaders of the various factions within the Silver Wolf Gang were now at a loss. They had just
openly broken with Fabian, but the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the choice between war and peace was no longer theirs
to make.

Yulia, escorted by her husband, approached Joseph, Baker, and Jessica at their table and said, "Today
's bride is truly a beauty! I imagine you gentlemen wouldn't want her wedding to end in bloodshed
, leaving this poor girl heartbroken and in tears. Why don't we, the Golden Lion Gang
, act as peacemakers and mediate the succession issue within your gang? We wield considerable influence over Chief Fabian
."

Joseph understood the underlying meaning of Yulia's words. Currently, the enemy was strong and they were weak; the other three
gangs had no choice but to cede territory and pay reparations to the Golden Lion Gang in exchange for temporary peace. To prevent
the three gangs from recuperating and launching a counterattack, they were now planning an internal
war within the Silver Wolf Gang, with Fabian and Baker as the two opposing forces.

Given the current power imbalance, Joseph and his group had no choice but to submit temporarily. "This woman is actually
the one who'll laugh last!" Joseph had thought Julia was just
a slut who readily offered herself to men in the arena, never expecting her to be so cunning.

Joseph gazed at Zilan standing behind Fabian. This bride should be the happiest
person today, as there was no bloodshed, yet her expression was icy, a needle tucked between her fingers. If it weren't
for the silvery sunlight and Joseph's superior skills, an ordinary person wouldn't have noticed it. The needle was
Zilan's weapon of assassination during her time in Braha. Who was she planning to kill today?
Joseph's first thought was Jessica. The Beck faction was hostile to Fabian, and Zilan and Jessica
were each other's wives. Moreover, Jessica, whose eyes had been petrified, was now the weakest and most powerless.

Joseph gathered all his magical power, gripping the Thief's Arm, ready for action. His murderous
aura drew a response from Damon Clyde, the leader of the Golden Lion Gang, who
turned his murderous gaze upon Joseph.

Just as the situation reached a tense climax, Zilan acted. She controlled her magic, creating a small
yet incredibly fast vortex, manipulating an embroidery needle. With lightning speed, the needle pierced through the crowd,
striking the head of the Copper Leopard Gang representative in a flash.

The needle, inserted into his right temple, left only a tiny, barely
perceptible wound with a single drop of blood.

The needle piercing his brain caused the Copper Leopard Gang representative to collapse, screaming, before quickly
dying. His death abruptly changed the slightly tense atmosphere, everyone gripping the building in fear, wary of any potential
enemy.

Just then, Zilan made her second move. The embroidery needle, manipulated by the vortex, hurtled towards Jessica like lightning
. Seeing this deadly weapon flash by, Joseph's thieving arm shot up.

At this critical moment, the airflow carrying the needle suddenly changed direction,
rushing past Jessica's feet and hurtling towards Julia.

Damon Clayster roared, his nail clippers transforming into a ball of silver light,
instantly shredding the needle to pieces, saving his beloved wife Julia's life.

Only Zilan and Joseph knew the truth of all this. To the hundreds of people present, it appeared as if the Copper
Leopard Gang's representative had suddenly collapsed and died, followed by Damon's surprise attack.

This sparked a full-scale bloodbath, a brutal battle where friend and foe were indistinguishable.

The Golden Lion Gang leader, believing Jessica had attacked, shielded his wife behind him, his two blades transforming
into two balls of light as he rushed towards Jessica.

Jessica's Moon-Inviting Sword was instantly drawn, joining her husband Baker's Sun Blade in a fierce and coordinated
attack.

Under the combined might of these three masters, the table where Jessica and her companions sat
was cleaved into hundreds of pieces by the clash of weapons, and all the other bystanders collapsed in fear.

Baker's Sun Blade unleashed powerful strikes, relentlessly attacking and engaging the lion Damon, while Jessica's Moon-Inviting Sword
moved elusively, launching surprise attacks, specifically targeting Damon's weaknesses.

The underworld boss, fighting two against one, was not at a disadvantage. Her nail clippers in both hands moved with unpredictable skill,
using the hard edge of her blade to directly clash with Baker, creating a flurry of sparks; and the soft edge to
cleverly and skillfully counter Jessica's elusive thrusts.

Yulia, now protected by a human wall of her subordinates, calmly ordered, "Order all factions' troops
to launch a surprise attack on the three gangs and then retreat immediately. Don't become bait for the Civil Protection Bureau's soldiers."

In contrast, the Silver Wolf, Copper Leopard, and Iron Bear gangs were all in disarray.

Gray Wolf gang leaders rushed to support their leader, Baker, while Golden Lion gang members also quickly joined
the fray.

At this moment, Kahn asked in a testing tone, "Who should we target? It seems
only a matter of time before the authorities intervene; we need to act quickly."

Joseph looked at Hinrichs, Little Green, and Karin behind Kahn. Including himself, this five-
man group would be a formidable force if they chose one person to attack;
it wouldn't be easy for even a skilled fighter to escape.

If they supported Jessica out of emotion, they would be caught in a chaotic battle between the two gangs
, making escape difficult. If they turned to attack someone else, who should they defeat in the limited time available? Haze
, the Iron Bear gang representative, Julia, or Fabian?

Joseph quickly came to his answer, saying, "Deal with Fabian first. Missing this opportunity could lead to
endless trouble."

After entrusting his beloved Jessica to Baker's protection, Joseph had the diminutive Hinrichs
lead the charge, while he and Kahn flanked Karin. Little Cui remained in his bag as an ambush
. In the chaotic melee, they relentlessly pursued Zilan, who was fleeing hand-in-hand with Fabian.

Zilan, from Braha, appeared quiet and virtuous, but in battle, her methods
were ruthless and merciless. In the disorganized and indiscriminate fighting, she carved
a bloody path through the chaos, indiscriminately killing anyone in her way, until she reached the back garden
wall, accompanied by several of Fabian's trusted guards.

Just as they were about to escape over the wall, Joseph raised his voice, "Chief Fabian, how can you just
abandon your men and run away like this? Do you still deserve to be the leader?"

Fabian slyly replied, "It's inevitable for a pawn on a chessboard to sacrifice itself to protect its king
. How can the Silver Wolf Gang function without my leadership?"

Joseph, gripping the Thief's Arm, pressed on, "Then shouldn't we change the leader now
? Circumstances dictate our actions; our gang can't afford internal strife at a time like this."

A woman in a pure white wedding dress, looking noble and beautiful, said with a sincere expression,
"Joseph, for our sake, let Fabian leave! I beg you, I can't let my
husband die in front of me like this. Didn't you once bless me?" A

woman's anxious expression and tearful eyes were pitiful to behold.

Although Joseph wanted to show leniency, he had no other choice but to harden his heart and say
, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain, and two gang leaders cannot exist in one gang. If we spare Fabian's life, he
will definitely collude with the Golden Lion Gang and then deal with Baker and Jessica."

Seeing that things couldn't end well, Zilan, with tears in her eyes, suddenly attacked. Her slender fingers
moved like butterflies in flight, simultaneously shooting out hundreds of embroidery needles, aiming at Joseph and the other four.

Kahn took off his outer robe and wielded it with great force, deflecting all the hundreds of deadly, gleaming silver weapons
. At the same time, Zilan pulled Fabian and leaped onto the high wall, her fair , delicate legs

revealed beneath her snow-white wedding dress . 　　Karin, a mage, launched a fireball at Zilan and Fabian, the newlywed couple . Zilan, her phoenix eyebrows raised, conjured a gust of wind between her fingers, deflecting the fireball with a fierce gust of air, causing it to miss its target and glide past her. 　　However, just as Zilan and Fabian landed on the top of the wall, Joseph, with a powerful punch from his thieving arm, instantly pulled Fabian back inside the wall, sending him sprawling face-first into the dust. 　　"Husband…" Zilan cried out, leaping down to their rescue. 　　After a brief, lightning-fast exchange, Joseph's five-man squad engaged in a fierce battle with Zilan and Fabian's four trusted guards. 　　Above, a magical war raged, fireballs and blizzards clashing. On the ground, Joseph and Hinrich clashed fiercely with their opponents' knives, guns, and swords. Amidst the dazzling flashes of their weapons, they exchanged rapid, brutal blows, exceeding a hundred moves in the blink of an eye. Kahn protected Karin, who was constantly casting spells, while Zilan used herself as a human shield to protect Fabian. 　　Joseph, wielding the Thief's Arm and fighting the swordsman with equal strength, was preoccupied with how to reach Fabian, who was heavily guarded. However, without stepping over Zilan's corpses, he couldn't get close to Fabian head-on. Even though Joseph showed no mercy and cruelly destroyed her, Zilan was no weak woman; getting past her would be no easy feat. 　　In the chaos of battle, Joseph released black smoke from his Thief Arm, engulfing the enemies around him. After handing Xiao Cui to Hinrichs, the agile dwarf used the Thief Arm to leap several feet through the smoke, flying behind Fabian. Joseph, meanwhile, rolled on the ground, sweeping through the enemy ranks with his Thief Arm, pressing towards Zilan. 　　Despite being attacked from both sides and carrying the burden of Fabian, Zilan remained composed, unleashing a barrage of needles at Hinrichs, deflecting and thwarting each of his lightning-fast daggers. 　　As Joseph closed in, Zilan's wedding dress billowed in the wind, her slender feet transforming into hundreds of shadowy kicks as she launched a flurry of attacks. 　　Joseph, constantly on the verge of being kicked by the beauty's shoe, desperately defended himself with his thieving arm. His gaze fell upon the mysterious jade gate beneath Zilan's dress, encased in white cotton panties, and a drool-worthy indentation on the slightly raised mound at the end of her legs. 　　But this was no time to admire the boundless spring scenery. Unable to break through , Joseph unleashed a powerful punch from his thieving arm, piercing a hole in the pure white wedding dress and striking Fabian behind Zilan. Chapter Five: A Good Thing Turns into a Bad 　　Omen Fabian screamed and collapsed, spitting blood. Seeing him pale, Zilan cried out and threw herself on top of him , shielding her husband with her shapely, slender body. 　　Now, Joseph and Hinrichs only needed one more strike to kill Fabian, but that would inevitably injure Zilan.

Tears streaming down her face, Zilan pleaded, "Joseph, if you're going to kill, kill me too! We're
husband and wife, inseparable. Otherwise, please spare us."

Joseph, unable to bear it, said, "Silly girl! That old man Fabian isn't worth your protection
."

Zilan replied excitedly, "I think he is, and that's enough."

The opportunity was fleeting. While Joseph hesitated, Fabian's four henchmen
charged forward again, weapons in hand.

Zilan seized the chance, scooping up Fabian and leaping onto the wall. However, even with a woman's martial arts skills
, carrying a man slowed her movements considerably.

Karin and Hinrichs unleashed fireballs and six or seven daggers at Zilan and Fabian, respectively.
Little Cui, standing beside Hinrichs, also waited for her chance to intervene.

Joseph was already busy dealing with the enemy's onslaught and, even though he was soft-hearted, he wasn't
crazy enough to help the enemy.

Just as Zilan was about to perish because of Fabian, a giant golden figure suddenly rushed in
, first sending Zilan and Fabian over the wall, then using the silver balls in his hands to deflect the daggers and fireballs
.

In the blink of an eye, Hinrichs's daggers twisted and deformed, breaking off and flying away one after another, while Karin
's fireballs seemed to hit a hard object, splitting into several pillars of fire that scattered in all directions.

This sudden obstacle was none other than Damon, the leader of the Golden Lion Gang.

Because Jessica was blind, after the situation turned into a melee between the two gangs' experts, she
was forced to retreat to avoid accidentally injuring her own side, and Baker stayed by his wife's side, thus allowing Damon to escape
the melee and catch up.

Damon then fixed his gaze on Joseph, a flash of rage crossing his face. He opened his blood-red
maw excitedly and said, "Looks like my luck's on my side today. I'll send you to the underworld then
."

The humanoid golden-maned lion king lunged forward, covering more than ten feet, his hands
raised high above his head, ten nail clippers slashing down.

Joseph blocked the attack with his Thief Arm, the two clashing head-on with their raw power.
The result was that Joseph was knocked back two steps, while Damon only swayed slightly.

Joseph, still gripping his Thief Arm, faced the attack, thinking that if Natasha hadn't
absorbed half of the White Dragon Egg potion's energy, he might have been able to block the attack with just one step back.

Damon laughed, "Not bad! For a human, I've never encountered such skill at this age
."

Joseph didn't recognize the Golden Lion Gang leader, and seeing Damon's determined-to-kill attitude
, he understood the reason was probably related to Damon's wife, Julia.

Joseph then tentatively said, "My martial arts skills are just average, but my skills in bed
are truly outstanding."

The lion Damon roared in fury, "Speaking of which, I should thank you for helping me comfort my wife, but times
have changed. Now I've cured my long-standing ailment, and I can now rape
several lionesses and tigresses at any time."

As they exchanged words, they moved with lightning speed, their movements faster than galloping horses
and more agile than monkeys, chasing and striking each other with claws and arms.

Damon first unleashed a hundred-claw combo with his nail clippers in an instant, while Joseph, using his thief's arm,
grabbed an old tree in the garden, then retrieved the chain in the middle, pulling himself backward to escape Damon.
After circling the tree once in mid-air, he withdrew his thief's arm and struck Damon with lightning speed.

Damon, the underworld tyrant, blocked the attack with nail clippers, but the force of the impact sent him tumbling over a dozen times. Joseph
, wielding his master thief's arm, conjured hundreds of aluminum shadows as he pursued.

Despite Joseph's furious attacks, he couldn't land a single blow on the ferocious lion. Moreover,
on all fours, the lion's agility and evasion surpassed even when standing upright. Once Joseph's attacks were exhausted, the lion launched a counterattack
, this time forcing Joseph to retreat unprepared.

Joseph and Damon fought further and further apart, now more than a hundred paces from Kahn and Fabian's henchmen
.

Deep within the lush garden, members of four underworld gangs were engaged in a fierce chase and battle.
This was already a smaller group; outside the headquarters walls, the fighting resembled a battle formation
. With a single grab, Damon killed two members of the Copper Leopard Gang. It seemed he had deliberately lured Joseph here
for a one-on-one conversation.

Joseph didn't mind a private talk with him, and casually struck a Golden Lion Gang member who had intruded on them,
sending him flying with severe injuries.

Joseph and Damon, each using half their strength, tentatively attacked each other. Damon
spoke first, saying, "To be able to marry such a beautiful fairy as Julia as my beloved wife is truly
the greatest miracle of my old fairy life! I only regret that the lifespan of fairies and beastmen differs by ten
times. In the past hundred years, she has had six or seven lovers, and even bore a daughter for her ex-husband.
After I die, she will surely have new lovers."

The once-powerful tyrant said with a sorrowful face, "I can take on great things easily, but when it comes to my beloved wife's
former lovers and ex-husbands, I can't help but feel a burning jealousy. I really want to kill them all!"

Joseph understood Damon's feelings quite well; it was like his jealousy of Beck in the past.

Joseph said, "Then go and kill them in order. Come find me after you've killed them all."
"I hope you kill them and get killed yourself, dying in the street with no trace of your bones." These were Joseph's true thoughts
.

Damon shook his head and said, "That won't do! When they were with Julia,
Julia and I weren't married yet. One or two of them weren't even born yet. Killing them is unreasonable. But
you're different. When you slept with Julia, she was already my wife, so killing you is perfectly justified
. If I don't kill you, I'll always have a thorn in my side."

Joseph retorted, "You forced Julia to cheat on you to satisfy her lust
!"

Damon suddenly increased the power of his attack to its peak, and sneered, "Yes! But I..."
" He has the right to be jealous, the right to kill you. He who seduces another man's wife deserves to be beheaded! This is
the law of nature."

Damon's nail clippers transformed into a silver net of unyielding power, enveloping Joseph's head as
he said, "Let me show you how deep the resentment of a man whose wife has been slept with can be!"

In Damon, Joseph seemed to see a phantom of Baker. He thought, "If I really
get Jessica, will Baker, like Damon, be determined to kill me?"

Thinking of Baker's kindness, Joseph's determination to obtain Jessica by any means necessary
wavered for the first time.

Facing Damon's fierce attack, Joseph retreated swiftly like a fish, dodging the nail clippers
' attacks and escaping along the garden walls.

Meanwhile, he and Fabian escaped to the Purple Orchid Garden, boarding a pre-arranged carriage
, with several guards waiting in the procession.

The guards, all clad in armor, were women, and the carriage driver was a silver-haired
enchantress dressed as a man.

After leading Fabian into the carriage, Zilan said, "Sister Meiling, let's go immediately! We need to get
to a safe place as quickly as possible."

The woman named Meiling was a typical enchantress, appearing to be around twenty
years old in human form. Tall and slender, she possessed a shapely figure, not particularly large-breasted, but with a beautifully proportioned female figure
, especially her exceptionally long legs, a favorite among foot fetishists. Dressed in men's clothing
, she exuded a unique and heroic aura of a female warrior. Meiling held the reins in one hand and a ten-foot-long whip in the other, striking

with lightning speed, each strike sending enemies crashing to the ground.
Four female guards on the carriage roof, each
wielding a bow and spear, fired powerful arrows within a hundred feet and used guns and spears to fell enemies within ten feet,
carving a bloody path through the throng of gangsters.

The cunning and resourceful Fabian had already planned several different escape routes, but he
didn't have these exceptional female warriors among his men. Fabian asked uneasily, "Who are they
?"

Zilan, wiping the blood from Fabian's body, replied, "Because I used to be
an assassin in Braha, I met these sisters through that connection."

Fabian looked out from the carriage; the street was teeming with people, and a hundred paces ahead, hundreds
of Golden Lion Gang orcs were charging in formation, followed by
a sea of silver light reflected from the armor of the Civil Protection Bureau soldiers.

Fabian cried out in terror, "Turn around!"

Zilan, however, gripped Fabian's hand firmly and said, "It's alright, we can definitely force
our way out."

Just then, a flurry of white snow swept in,
a large-scale military spell cast simultaneously by hundreds, even thousands, of mages.

The biting cold was palpable as three menacing ice dragons soared through the air, crashing into a twenty-
foot radius around the carriage. Ice and hail scattered,
freezing everything on the ground and within a foot of it.

Hundreds of ferocious orcs, their legs frozen solid, became like toothless tigers, unable to move
.

After passing the immobilized orcs, the carriage charged into the armored wave of the militia.
The army, far superior to the underworld, quickly parted to create a path under the command of its general
.

Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, Fabian, drenched in sweat, slumped into a chair.
Meiling pulled the reins, bringing the carriage to a stop.

Zilan cried out in alarm, "Why did you stop? Fight your way out!"

But the fairy Meiling stepped down from the carriage, opened the door, and said, "Mr. Fabian, you have been
arrested. Please get out immediately."

Zilan, clutching her embroidery needle, blushed and angrily shouted, "Meiling, you betrayed me!"

Seeing Zilan still determined to resist, Fabian took her hand and said, "The situation is hopeless
. Don't resist anymore. It's nothing serious. We can resolve this with money and the law
. My husband and I will escape safely."

Tears streaming down her face, Zilan clung to Fabian's hand, reluctant to part, until the soldiers forcibly separated them
, handcuffed them, and put them in different carriages, taking them back to the police station.

Meiling, who was sharing a carriage with Zilan, took out a key to unlock Zilan's handcuffs and said,
"As expected of the top disciple of Huiyun Li, the most beautiful actress in Carthage, your acting skills are superb. Even that
old bastard Fabian didn't realize he'd fallen for your trick."

Zilan, tears streaming down her face, pushed Meiling's hand away, letting the key fall to the bottom of the carriage. Her tone was icy as she said
, "Don't be careless! Fabian is currently suspecting that I deliberately betrayed him.
When we get back to the security station, I'll show him the red marks on my wrists from the struggle to dispel his suspicions.
Then, with some passionate and caring words, it'll be easier to get him to cooperate with us in the future." As she spoke,
tears continued to flow down Zilan's face.

Seeing this, Mei Ling hugged Zi Lan tightly and asked with concern, "You haven't really fallen in love with
that old man, have you? He's a ruthless and wicked gangster."

Zi Lan, unable to hide her sadness, replied, "Is it wrong? Is it wrong? Even the most wicked devil
has someone he truly cares for and loves."

Watching Zi Lan weep uncontrollably, her wedding dress soaked with tears, Mei Ling couldn't help but
recall the day Hui Yun Li chose his apprentice, selecting Zi Lan instead of her.

Back then, in the theater's basement, Mei Ling had angrily slammed her fist on the table, refusing to accept Hui Yun Li's
choice and demanding an explanation.

The captivating Huiyun Li, who had charmed countless viewers, calmly asked, "You two, each of you, tell me
why you were willing to be assigned to the Public Security Bureau?"

Mei Ling saluted and declared righteously, "To combat the underworld gangs in the capital
, maintain order in Carthage, and allow the citizens of Carthage to live and work in peace."

Zi Lan, however, said with a sorrowful expression, "Many people in the underworld are forced into it by circumstances."
"Yes, if we let them go unchecked, they will harm more and more Carthaginian citizens."

Huiyun Li clasped his hands tightly and asked cautiously, "If you were ordered to sleep with your target
, what would you do?"

Although Mei Ling was unwilling, she still answered with a firm attitude, "To accomplish the mission, I
will obey."

Zi Lan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I would see if the target suited my taste. If not,
I would try to fall in love with him. To lure him into bed, I would create the appropriate atmosphere and situation."

After comforting Zi Lan with the attitude of a kind elder, Huiyun Li said to Mei Ling, "Now
you understand!"

Mei Ling still said unconvinced, "I don't understand! My life experience is ten times richer than hers.
She has neither determination nor a firm will."

Huiyun Li's slender hands caressed Mei Ling's body, making Mei Ling very embarrassed. Amidst the awkwardness, she
added seductively, "As a fairy, you've lived longer than I have, but a fairy's maturity
doesn't match that of a human. You can't compare to Zilan. The apprentice I'm training this time is to be sent into
the underworld to spy on intelligence, dismantle gangs, and control the underworld of Carthage, preventing
it from spiraling out of control. A strong, assertive woman like you is more suited to being raped by the underworld than taken
as a mistress. A soft, gentle, and intelligent girl like Zilan is more suitable."

Hearing Huiyun Li's words, Meiling still blushed and argued, but when Huiyun Li offered
a condition—testing her by having sex with a beggar—Meiling finally gave up. With her proud personality, she simply
couldn't bring herself to be intimate with a beggar.

In Meiling's eyes, Zilan was not only a seductive beauty who could captivate men, but also a sentimental
girl adept at masking her true feelings.

"To deal with those gangsters, do we really need a girl with such feminine charm
?" Mei Ling clenched her fists in frustration. "My feminine charm can't compare to yours, but
it's not easy to sell my body to lure the enemy! This psychological hurdle is too hard to overcome."

Zi Lan wiped away her tears and said, "Sister Mei Ling is very charming too! But you can't do it. You don't
put yourself in their shoes."

Mei Ling shook her head violently, her silver hair swaying as she said, "Don't joke! How can I
put myself in their shoes?" At this moment, Zi Lan couldn't help but recall Hui Yun Li's teachings.

Hui Yun Li, who had decided to take Zi Lan as his disciple, had said with a smile that to seduce men, seduction is secondary; seducing
their hearts is the best strategy. Zi Lan's targets were all powerful, wealthy, and women who could be summoned and
dismissed at will. First, she had to perform her feminine charm to make her target choose her as a prey for rape
. Then, she had to find reasons to make herself genuinely fall in love with the other person, reasons that the other person would believe and accept
.

Zilan, with her father complex, was better suited to interacting with the older gang members than Meiling, who was fiercely opposed to evil
. A soulmate, a kindred spirit, could touch a man
's heart far more than an ordinary pretty girl.

After sending Zilan back to the police station to rest, Meiling returned to the Silver Wolf Gang's headquarters.

In this largest-ever armed conflict in Carthage, thousands were killed or wounded,
and over a thousand government soldiers were also killed or wounded. In the end, over ten thousand gangsters were arrested.

While doctors and priests were busy treating the wounded, the gangsters, handcuffed and receiving treatment
, let out screams more ferocious than usual, and groans several times louder.
The arrested formed a long human chain, circling the Silver Wolf Gang's headquarters. Apart
from Fabian, who was the intended target, none of the other gang leaders were captured; only
some mid-level officers were taken into custody.

Mei Ling looked at the arrested people and roughly divided their attitudes into four types. The experienced ones were either
calm and composed, not saying a word from beginning to end, or like a wagging dog, saying all sorts of nice things and being
obsequious. The younger group were either timid and fearful, trembling all over, or so arrogant that they had no respect for the officers and soldiers
.

One of the thugs, oblivious to the meaning of death, glared at Mei Ling, whistling and spouting
nonsense, "I never thought there would be such a beauty among the soldiers. Long-legged lady, why don't you wear a skirt ? What
a waste of those beautiful legs!"

Mei Ling coldly retorted, "Shut up! I didn't tell you not to make a sound, or I'll add another
charge of obstructing official duties."

The thug actually retorted, "I only complimented you because you're pretty
. What law forbids people from speaking these days? When did the Republic of Carthage become
a despotic kingdom without civil rights and freedom of speech? You officials serve us citizens, don't you? I
didn't commit any serious crime; I'll just be released after a fine."

Mei Ling sneered, "If this were a despotic kingdom, I would have already drawn my sword and killed you! Luckily, this
is the Republic of Carthage." After saying that, she took the thug's hand and
lightly touched her fair and smooth face.

The thug was stunned for a moment, then said, "Beautiful lady, your face is really smooth and tender."

Mei Ling's smile vanished, and she sternly addressed her guards, "Add
a charge of indecent assault against this little gangster to the list of assaulting a female officer! Alright, you filthy thief, this time you won't
be out of jail for ten years unless you're fined several hundred gold coins. Otherwise, you can choose to be pardoned and become one of the soldiers protecting the people of Carthage
. However, pardoned soldiers are always sent to the most dangerous and arduous front lines, as is customary. Which do you choose?
You idiot who dared to be disrespectful to an officer!" The thug, though furious, was now powerless to stop it.

Before this operation, Mei Ling had proposed a plan to Huiyun Li: to use this opportunity to arrest
the leaders of the four major underworld gangs and dismantle their criminal organizations in one fell swoop.

Chapter Six: The Lewd Maid Besides being an actress, Huiyun Li

is also the head of an intelligence agency whose identity is kept secret. A formidable woman who can easily mobilize the Security Bureau's operations from behind the scenes, and one of the Black Emperor's wives and companions, she earnestly said, "The Security Bureau isn't an institution for upholding justice at any cost! It's for maintaining the law and social order. Arresting those gang leaders isn't impossible, the problem is that arresting one naturally..."

There will be a new successor. As for dismantling their organization, in fact, even if they were dismantled, it would be impossible to arrest
all of their members. The infighting among the four gangs has already made Carthage's security a mess. If
they were to split into dozens or even hundreds of smaller gangs, who would be able to clean up the mess?

Mei Ling was speechless for a moment. Hui Yun Li's considerations were indeed much more profound than hers.

Huiyun Li continued, "The most urgent task is to restore order as soon as possible, allowing citizens to live and work in peace
. Let them fight amongst themselves first, then arrest as many gangsters as possible to cripple their mobility
. If we can capture our target, Fabian, he will become a tool to restrain those gang leaders
. Finally, we'll ask Bao Daili to mediate this conflict."

Although tens of thousands of gang members were arrested, Mei Ling found it hard to be happy.
At least 70% of these prisoners would be released after short-term imprisonment, torture, or by paying fines.
Those who were imprisoned for extended periods or forcibly sent to the front lines as substitutes for their crimes accounted for at most 30%.

Every time the capital's security was compromised, Mei Ling and the officers and soldiers of the Civil Protection Bureau had to work day and night
to suppress the underworld, keeping them in line for a while. But after a while, they
would cause trouble again. This problem was endless. Was there really no solution that would last forever
? Mei Ling had serious doubts.

The duel between Joseph and Damon ended prematurely due to government intervention, with both
fleeing. Joseph's men, including Kahn, Karin, Little Green, and Hinrich, were unharmed, while
most of the faction leaders, such as Beck, Jessica, and Haze, escaped safely, though two were arrested.
Of the four thousand gang members mobilized, two thousand were killed, wounded, or arrested.

With the Golden Lion, Bronze Leopard, and Iron Bear gangs also suffering significant losses, none were able to launch
a new offensive.

The unexpected news of Fabian and Zilan's arrests brought further changes, causing
Haze, who had initially reluctantly promised Beck the new leader, to break his promise and vie for the position. However,
a full-blown armed conflict in the current situation would only lead to the Silver Wolf gang's self-destruction.

Thus, it became a meeting of the various faction leaders to discuss who would succeed as gang leader. Naturally, behind-the-
scenes deals were made, with money, women, and territory being used to bargain. Baker and Hass, meanwhile, were
trying to win over the support of the various faction leaders.

Hass was indeed exceptional; even Joseph, someone who would never betray him, offered him one hundred
beautiful female slaves and thirty thousand gold coins for his support.

Joseph said, "This offer is very attractive, I'll accept it, but first I need to give you one-tenth
of the three thousand gold coins and ten female slaves."

Hass sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? What's your relationship with Baker and his wife? You clearly
want to steal my deposit and the female slaves!"

Joseph persisted, "If you want to be the gang leader, how can you be so insincere?
At least pay fifteen hundred gold coins and five female slaves first."

Hass retorted, "I can pay the full amount, but you have to make a sworn
oath "Curse the contract! Curse the breaching party to permanent impotence! Let's see who's dishonest and deliberately trying to deceive us!"

Joseph roared. "You short, effeminate bastard! You're short and vicious, actually trying to curse
me to lifelong impotence!"

Haze retorted without hesitation, "You shameful man!
A stud who doesn't spare women from three to eighty years old! If you weren't deliberately trying to breach the contract, what are you afraid of cursing?"

Joseph, still furious, said, "I warn you not to slander me! The women I want are
between fifteen and thirty-five years old. Who would..." "Any woman from three to eighty years old? But
over thirty-five, exceptionally beautiful, and under fifteen, particularly precocious, I might consider."

Haise pointed at Joseph's nose and cursed, "You lecher! It's the same thing."

This chaotic meeting continued for several days without a result. Facing a room full of dazed people, Beck
said hoarsely, "Today is the fifth day. Let's vote to make a decision."

Haise, his eyes bloodshot, retorted sharply, "Fabian and the two faction leaders are still
in prison. Their votes must be counted."

Beck slammed his fist on the table in anger, cursing, "Who knows when they'll be released!"

Haise took a breath and said, "Then let's wait a few more days. Everyone go home, eat and sleep well, and then
continue the discussion at my villa. I'll throw a first-class banquet, providing the finest wines and delicacies
, with beauties of all shapes and sizes for you to choose from."

Haise's proposal received unanimous
applause and approval from everyone except Jessica, including Joseph.

Baker glared at Haze and said, "If you don't have enough votes, don't force yourself. Young man,
show some respect to the elders! And Joseph, this is the time to do big things, stop thinking about
freeloading and womanizing."

Joseph argued, "Father, everyone is exhausted. I just want you brothers to get some
rest. But be careful while you rest, lest someone with ill intentions sends assassins
to kill you."

Haze glared at Joseph with fire in his eyes and said, "Is this some assassin trying to blackmail the leaders here
to support his father, or is he trying to smear me by saying I want to assassinate you leaders?"

In this seemingly endless meeting, only Jessica could sleep soundly in her chair
. Although Jessica was of high seniority, she wasn't a leader and had no voting rights. The others
couldn't sleep even if they wanted to, because both Haze and Baker had tried to push for a vote while the other's supporters were asleep
.

Breaking the deadlock was Zilan, who suddenly appeared in a tattered wedding dress.
Hess immediately approached her obsequiously, saying, "When were you released, Madam? Why didn't you let me know so I could send someone to pick you up? How is
Chief Fabian's health? When will the authorities release him?"

Zilan replied worriedly, "I wasn't found guilty of any specific crime, so I
was released after posting bail. However, the court has decided to formally indict Fabian, along with two other leaders
."

Baker, trying to win over Zilan, said, "I'll definitely find the best lawyer to represent Fabian in court
."

Haze chimed in, "My father is a senator; he'll definitely find a way to help Fabian
."

Zilan, her eyes red and brimming with tears, said, "Thank you both for your kindness. Please do your utmost
to exonerate my husband."

At this moment, Jessica calmly spoke up, "Fabian didn't say anything to the authorities, did he
?"

More than her position as gang leader, Jessica was concerned for her husband's safety. Fabian himself was a
living witness, and through his conflicts with various gangs, he must have gathered evidence of many people's crimes
. If he reached an agreement with the authorities, exchanging a reduced sentence for becoming an official witness, not only would
the leaders of Golden Lion, Bronze Leopard, and Iron Bear be wanted, but even her husband Baker would become a wanted criminal. Being wanted would be a serious problem
!

Zilan tried to remain calm, but tears streamed down her face like a broken kite string. On the verge of sobbing
, she said, "As long as everyone helps, my husband says he will keep his mouth shut."

As everyone's hearts skipped a beat, Zilan continued, "My husband instructed me that if you
haven't decided on a leader yet, he and the other two arrested leaders decided to support Beck
as the new leader."

Jessica excitedly hugged her husband, jumping for joy like a little girl, while the other Beck faction leaders
cheered. Haze, however, looked ashen-faced and slumped back into his seat.

Beck spun his wife around several times before setting her down, and said in a booming voice, "Then let's
vote now on who will succeed as leader!"

The vote was unanimous in favor of Beck. Seeing no chance of winning, the shrewd Haze
had his supporters vote for Beck instead, both to curry favor and to conceal his own number of supporters.

While congratulating Beck on the spot, Haise extended a hand of friendship, saying, "I'm a person who likes to be open and aboveboard
. Although I don't know how you persuaded Fabian, Chief Beck, the current predicament of the gang is
obvious to all. I will prioritize the overall situation, be loyal to Chief Beck, and help the Silver Wolf Gang overcome this difficulty."

Beck's worried expression disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. He said generously, "As long as you are sincere
, Haise, we are good brothers!" However, behind the smiles, both sides were wary of each other.

While shaking hands, Beck also opened his arms and hugged Haise as a gesture of friendship. Everyone present immediately applauded
. As for Joseph, he watched Haise blushing and trying to push him away in Beck's arms. Although Kahn had
told him to respect the enemy and stop calling Haise a "sell-his-butt" guy, he always felt that Haise looked gay
.

Afterwards, Joseph walked to Zilan's side and said, "Thank you."

Zilan, puzzled, replied, "Why thank me?"

Joseph patted his confidante's shoulder and said, "It's true that Fabian supported Beck, isn't it
? Thank you for telling a white lie for my friend, but it seems Fabian will
spend the rest of his life in prison. You should think more about your future!"

Zilan, overcome with sorrow, said, "Thank you, Joseph, but once a wife, always a
wife. Although we haven't even spent a single night together, I will wait for Fabian, wait for him for a
lifetime."

Seeing Zilan's sincere outpouring, Joseph could only shake his head and sigh, no longer trying to persuade her.

A true actor is one who can wholeheartedly immerse themselves in the role. According to Huiyun Li, it
starts with deceiving oneself, believing from the bottom of one's heart that one is the character.

Although Zi Lan's acting skills couldn't match Hui Yun Li's, she had still inherited his true essence. She genuinely
invested her feelings for Fabian, which allowed her to portray the character so realistically
. As for how to detach herself from the role afterward, that was a matter for later.

Zi Lan's reason for saying Fabian supported Baker becoming the gang leader wasn't out of kindness towards Joseph
, but rather following Hui Yun Li's instructions.

Firstly, this would solidify Zi Lan's position as the former gang leader's wife, granting her free access
to the Silver Wolf Gang, and forcing Baker to respect Zi Lan for making him the leader. Hui Yun Li
's reason for choosing Baker over Haze was that Fabian had been fighting with Baker for years and possessed far more evidence to incriminate Baker
than Haze. As long as Fabian was in the hands of the authorities, she could be effectively used to restrain and threaten Baker
. With Zi Lan's covert cooperation, the Silver Wolf Gang would be entirely under the control of the Public Security Bureau.

Moreover, Haze's father was one of the elders, and his family was wealthy and powerful.
If Haze became the gang leader, the combination of power, the underworld, and money would make him incredibly difficult to control. Conversely, Baker was simply a
member of the underworld and easier to deal with.

Due to the battle at the Silver Wolf Gang's headquarters, the Golden Lion Gang leader, Lion Damon's, peace negotiations fell through.
However, because the gangs were unable to continue fighting, a temporary ceasefire was currently in effect.

At this moment, one of the Black Emperor's wives,
the Queen of Pirates—Bodley, who controlled and operated the largest pirate force in various seas and controlled all maritime smuggling channels from Carthage—
intervened as a mediator. She had also first won over the Stone Tiger Gang to join forces. Under official
pressure and with insufficient fighting power, no gang could refuse her mediation.

A gang war that had plunged Carthage into chaos for months came to an end. The Black Emperor and Consul Hannibal
, both in and out of the shadows, orchestrated the entire empire. The people attributed the restoration of order
to Hannibal, further boosting his reputation and popularity. As
for the former Consul, who had plunged Carthage into chaos in the final stages of his term, he was left only with a tarnished legacy in history
.

While the Golden Lions gang instigated this war, starting with the Colosseum incident, and the mastermind was their leader
's wife, Julia, the war was launched with the Black Emperor's tacit approval.
This underhanded tactic, used as a campaign tool, is not recorded in history, nor even in the archives of the Civil Protection Bureau
.

I don't remember which famous person said it, but "Republics are good only because they are not
as bad as despotism! When despotic kingdoms use assassinations, coups, or even large-scale bloody civil wars to replace their rulers..."
During the reign of the Lord, the dark side of the republic unfolded silently and unnoticed; at least, the number of deaths was less than under despotism
.

The Silver Wolf Gang, the Copper Leopard Gang, and the Iron Bear Gang re-formed an alliance against the Golden Lion Gang. Although they were allies
, the foundation of mutual trust was extremely fragile after the previous war. Each gang was busy recruiting new members and
rebuilding the brothels and casinos that had been vandalized and destroyed.

After three months, Jessica's eyes still hadn't found a cure, but life
had to go on, and Joseph's upward climb couldn't stop.

Baker ascended to the position of gang leader, and Joseph and Aubrey, colluding together, were now incredibly wealthy
. To better care for Jessica, Joseph and Baker moved to
a high-society residential area halfway up the mountain, renting two adjoining mansions, hiring several maids, and maintaining
a dozen bodyguards, cooks, flower sellers, and grooms. They even had two carriages with many fine horses.

Karin, blinded by greed, was thrilled. However, in reality, she wasn't
the mistress of the house; instead, she was a slave to Joseph, who took advantage of her every night for free. She was deeply resentful.

One day, dressed in a black maid's uniform, Karin was summoned to Joseph's study. The study was described as
a quarter bookcase filled with craft books—Joseph was quite knowledgeable about crafts, having
crafted his own "Thief's Arm" and constantly developing improvement ideas. Another quarter was dedicated to history and geography, and
the remaining half consisted of erotic art books.

As soon as Karin entered, Joseph said, "Clean the room for me, just wear an apron
."

After long periods of "training," Karin's body had been thoroughly developed by Joseph. The thought of
being possessed by her master again, against her will, made her lower body begin to heat up and
become wet.

Under Joseph's burning gaze, Karin immediately began to undress until her maid's clothes,
underwear, and shoes and socks were scattered all over the floor, leaving only a white lace apron covering her petite, fleshy
body. Her breasts were half-exposed, and her slender waist, adorned only with a bow, revealed glimpses of her private parts beneath the apron's hem
.

With an expectant expression and moist eyes, Karin began to clean the room, her fair,
peach-like buttocks swaying before Joseph's eyes, a scene of sensual allure.

Joseph folded paper into paper airplanes, aiming at her round buttocks, and
hurled them at her exposed breasts beneath the apron.

Karin dodged as she cleaned, deliberately letting out seductive moans each time she was hit
: "Ah...ahhh..." feigning pain.

Joseph put his legs on the desk and asked Karin, "Little bitch, how
long have you been with me?"

Karin thought for a moment and replied, "Nine months."

Joseph said, "I've seen you behave quite well during this time, and you also
have a good head for business, so I want you to manage my assets."

Karin was overjoyed; having the opportunity to manage money meant the possibility of embezzling.
Grinning from ear to ear, Karin immediately ran to Joseph's desk to thank him, but then
said with a worried look, "But legally, I'm a slave, and there are many things I can't do."

Joseph smiled and said, "So I will release you from slavery. Here, these are
the documents I obtained from the city hall yesterday. From today onwards, you are a free citizen, and I've even paid to restore your civil
rights."

Karin was so happy she couldn't describe it, and she jumped into Joseph's arms, giving him a kiss
.

Joseph's hands slipped under Karin's apron, caressing and groping her, indulging his lust while
saying, "Also, I'll transfer your 50,000 gold coins back to your name. Since you're
my woman, you should support me, of course. Use this money to invest in me! I won't
let you lose money; I'll definitely climb higher and gain more power and wealth."

Karin didn't understand why Joseph was suddenly being so kind to her, thinking it must be a
reward for her years of service as a maid in the morning and a sex slave at night, earning him Joseph's favor.

Sitting on Joseph, her pink legs clamping his erect penis, Karin hugged him,
weeping with joy, and said, "I love you so much, Master! Karin will serve you wholeheartedly from now on
."

Karin, in this seated position, allowed Joseph to penetrate her, this
beautiful woman from a poor family using her arms on the table for leverage, moving up and down like pistons.

Joseph's sudden kindness towards Karin wasn't out of pity or a sudden burst of kindness, but rather
the result of discussions with Kahn and Hinrichs.

After a long period of "training," Karin had become quite addicted to her sexual relationship with Joseph.
However, being a money-grubber, she still harbored resentment about Joseph draining her of her savings.
To gain her loyalty, returning the money was necessary.

When Kahn suggested this, Joseph was shocked and exclaimed, "We're talking about 50,000
gold coins, half my fortune! Are you kidding me? You expect me to return the money that's already in my pocket
?! Are you crazy?"

Kahn replied, "The boss's woman's money is the boss's money. She belongs to the boss, so how could her money
run away? As for your own money, it's still the boss's money!"

Hinrichs, however, believed that with Joseph's handsome appearance and the constant sexual pleasure he provided, Karin
had developed feelings for him and wouldn't easily run away.

Joseph agreed with their assessment. Besides, he still had
the IOU for 100,000 gold coins signed by Karin, which he could demand repayment at any time. Even if she escaped, the money wouldn't be so easily taken away.

Joseph needed someone to manage the money, but he wasn't skilled in investing or doing business.
While Kahn was capable, he would be too busy to handle the workload, let alone have time to offer advice. [The following appears to be unrelated and possibly a separate text fragment:] She 　　moved vigorously on Joseph's body, her flower-like opening overflowing with lustful fluids, the erect penis plunging into her, bringing her pleasure
.

Karin, deeply troubled, underwent a significant shift in her mindset. She calculated that while Joseph's true love was Jessica
, she was Baker's beloved wife, and their love was unbreakable; a union between them was impossible.
If she could become Joseph's wife, she would not only be the mistress of this grand house, but future
wealth and luxury would be within her grasp.

The only person who could hinder her from becoming his wife was Helena. Anne was
a princess from an enemy nation, Natasha and Joseph had only shared a single night, and Natasha was away fighting for many years. As for Little Green, this little
flying insect, being non-human, it was even less likely.

The more Karin thought about it, the more excited she became, and her pleasure intensified with each thrust. She gently swayed her head,
caressing her large, voluptuous breasts, her hips working rhythmically as she swallowed and released his magnificent battering ram .
Karin said, "Master, I love you so much! Come out! Inside this little slave girl, Karin,
irrigate my flower field with the essence of your life."

Overjoyed, Joseph stood up, making Karin lie face down on the desk, taking the initiative,
thrusting again and again from behind until he reached the very end of her flower, finally ejaculating a torrent of hot milk.

"Ahhhhh..." Karin, having reached her climax, was completely stiff, her flower gripping Joseph tightly
