"At first, I am not your lover or your slave, so I will not comply with your lust or desire to have sex with me if you try to force it."
Saying this, she pulled out the gun and pointed it at Lin Tao, who was standing nearby and sporting a small smile on his face. Lin Tao was examining the gun as if it were a toy gun or something.
"Then that means our family allows your group to kill a member until he or she has a valid reason behind it, which proves one fact: that you are not an internal part of my family."
"Good."
Lin Tao calmly nodded at the woman and pushed her gun to the other side with a smile.
He felt he had learned a few important details about the outside organization that his family line had allowed to interfere with internal conflict, or, as one might say, the competition for an heir.
"Okay, you can calm down a bit; I am not going to push you down in a public area, alright?"
Looking at the lady, who was totally feeling the edge around him, Lin Tao laughed as he thought about how he could have just kissed her and forced her after taking her to that island.
However, given the one-month time limit, he would like to experiment before inviting her into his bed voluntarily because that would make him more excited.
With that in mind, Lin Tao smiled at the woman wearing business attire and said, "Then follow me." "We will go and eat something from that cafe; we can get a private seat and chat about the family and the things that were happening around me."
Eloria felt a strange sensation while looking at Lin Tao behind her, but for some reason, the boy in front of her felt more dangerous than the report had told her.
That made her think about how this kind of guy was still hidden for all this time and did not appear on the main stage for all this time.
"Are you going to stay there or what?" Eloria shook off her feelings and followed Lin Tao because it was an order from higher ups she couldn't refuse.
Nevertheless, she remained vigilant about Lin the entire way to the hotel.
As he sat down and ordered coffee for the two of them, he did so while turning to face her, who was seated on the other side.
"I guess you knew how our bloodline or inheritance worked, given that you had been wary of something from the moment we met."
Eliora immediately remembered her mission, nodding and explaining Lin Tao's super ability, how it originated, and the need to strengthen it, as well as the unusual and quiet battle that had been going on around him for all this time.
The greater the influence on the person receiving that attention, where the origin of this ability was related to subduing a woman or making her desire something from the host.
"The first arcane card I receive is from Xiao Lei." As he asked the Eliora and continued to think about it, Lin Tao began to get the idea.
"So, you are my guardian type of entity; because you and your kind have stronger bodies than normal humans as a result of childbirth, you have a short life, and thus require your master to supplement you to live a normal life."
Lin Tao smiled as he finally saw how he could subdue this violent lady in front of him, looking at Eliora's cold expression.
"This is going to be fun." He muttered as he sipped his coffee and observed Xuan and the other man, whom he identified as Hong.
Whereas Hong is also a member of such a bloodline, as he was awakened one year ago, he somehow obtained information related to Lin Tao and began to make sure that Lin Tao would never discover his bloodline, so he first targeted his high school girlfriend, and after having sex with her, he got rid of her by killing her and disposing of her body.
Hong's next target was Xiao Lei, so he caused her father to get into an accident before giving her the video of Lin Tao getting drunk and witnessing his girlfriend being raped in front of him in a bar, which is how little Lin Tao remembers that particular day.
"But the question is why I do not remember this day at all, and is it related to that bastardly ability of erasing his memories or something related to it?"
Lin Tao was brimming with killing intent, as he wanted to rush and kill that Hong bastard, but at the moment he was helpless, given if he were to kill that guy, the girl in front of him will kill him and Xiao Lei too.
"A candidate cannot kill another candidate." This was yet another prime rule, so the question that arose was whether or not the candidate in front of him had the capability of killing someone else.
If the answer was yes, Lin Tao would need to devise a quicker way to win her consent and determine whether or not she could discard another card.
That will give him at least two peculiar abilities, and when combined with the system, he will have the guy having a terrible time around them.
"Yes, we black line have the ability to kill the candidate and the authority to do it if ordered by the master, but I am not an assassin type and I am a strength and agility type guard."
She laid down her card, as she told Lin Tao about their rank and how they worked, specifically that they were like guardians and Lin Tao and other headonist like magicians.
After that conversation, Lin Tao had a general understanding of what was going on and what he would need to do in the near future.
Meanwhile, Eliora has brought him a few documents related to hotels and restaurants, and he has been asked to own and develop one of them of his choice.
Lin Tao picked one of them without first looking, and when he realized it was a four-star hotel he was familiar with, he was happy.
"Good one; I will try to make it a good chance to see how I can fare in the business world."
Given that the lift was currently moving up and his room was on the fourth floor, which wasn't particularly high to begin with, Lin Tao grinned as he approached the apartment and took the stairs to go up.
Eliora, who was standing next to Lin Tao, acted swiftly in response to the danger he sensed as they approached the stairs on the third floor.
She kicked the incoming blade, which passed Lin Tao, and jumped up the stairs before Lin Tao and Eliora.
"Good morning, young master Lin Tao." The girl had a nice body and a smile despite having a mask covering her face.
She wore clothing that appealed to cyberpunk tastes, and Lin Tao was greatly enticed by her. He licked his lips with excitement as he observed the girl in front of him.
"My, oh my, does young master want my body?" "Given those gazes, it is hardly hidden from anyone."
The silent assassin spoke while looking at Lin Tao, who was looking at her body without any intention of hiding his lust.
Due to this, even Eliora, who was trying to protect Lin Tao, was having a hard time hiding her own wariness when looking at Lin Tao.
"So, you want to kill me, but Eliora is a guard-type, and killing when she is around is very hard, right?" Lin looked at the cute assassin, who was stunned even without listening to Lin Tao reveal his partner type.
Given that guard type retainers are both easy to obtain and difficult to find with certain skills, she was already aware of it.
"So, what are you trying to do with that, given that even though I won't be able to kill you, it is not impossible for me to target those around you?" The young assassin had a clear plan for how she would set up a chance to kill Lin Tao while he was accompanied by a guard-style retainer.
"In light of the fact that we are going to bet against each other and that the winner will get their way after the bet is settled, I have a suggestion that will really appeal to you."
Hearing it, the little girl and Eliora were silent as they both looked at Lin Tao, who was looking at them silently, and asked.
"In this, we will fight a duel, and if you win, that means I will die."
"As long as I win, you will be mine, and I will get to eat you once." When Eliora heard it, she wanted to scream, but Lisa was the first to agree with Lin Tao.
"It is already decided, Eliora; now use the Engarde to start our duel, as the condition said is valid."
Lisa looked at Eliora, who was looking at Lin Tao with frustration while little tears appeared beside her eyes.
"Why the hell are you crying for, given that if I were to win, there is nothing to cry about, and if I were to die, then you do not follow a master who is after your body?"
Lin Tao grinned, looking at Eliora, who was looking at him bitterly.
"As long as master is to die, I will have to accompany you, that is how rule goes and if I try to run away, then I will be chased down for my life."
Hearing the reason, even Lin Tao was turned stunned as he though how this society work is real mess, but he was sure that there was no way the girl in front of him is capable to killing him.
After all, due to his system gift he was sure that his physical power and reaction is top notch higher than the girls in front of him.
"Then how about this, you will have to let me kiss you on the bed, that is if I were to win this duel."
He looked at Eliora who was turned mute again, due to idiots words, as she thought why he was this confident though she also knew another fact, that an controler can never beat a retainer in close physical combat such as this one.
"Idiot, but if you really created that miracle, I will not mind kissing you the way you want to do tonight."
Hearing her words, Lin smiled with a victorious smile as he looked at Lisa and stood calm and collected, which caused Lisa to scrunch her nose. As she looked at Eliora, who nodded her head and spoke, "Duel start Engarde."
The moment the words ended, Lisa jumped with her agile body, and appeared beside Lin Tao as her hand released an hidden blade which attacked the neck.
While her blade slashed through, she realize something wrong, given there was no resistance in that cut. Where a sharp upper kick, came attacking her chin.
The sharp kick gaze fast, as Lisa who was barely able to dodge that attack found Lin Tao standing a small distance away from original position and the moment, he took a deep step inside toward her body.
He found his face suddenly appear quite close to her attacking range, but she did not had much time to attack, given her step stumble upon the stairs and a kick landed on her cross arm which she had put up for defense.
But that kick still managed to send her up flying, so she wanted to take in some good air in to relax her tense lungs, but it was at that moment she felt another threat on the side and saw a kick attacking from her back.
That attack send her down as she fall back, but a claw was stationed right in front of her neck and a hand held her chin.
As he pulled her lips up and kissed them with fire of desire burning within his jet black eyes.
