Adam's gait was determined and he walked with a smile, attracting the attention of bar patrons. His appearance, of course, was altered by the mask and he wore a white formal suit and his eyes shone brightly.
Elara was delighted to see him and smiled softly, waving her hand. Adam sensed the change in her and sat down beside her.
"Hello, Elara. I've missed you so much." Adam smiled softly and kissed the back of Elara's hand, making her blush.
With her soft smile and sparkling green eyes, Elara looked incredibly beautiful. Her long, lush hair was tied up in a long ponytail, and her delicate skin was more exposed than usual.
Adam noticed the stares of the men, full of lust and desire, as they looked at Elara's frank white dress, which was tight and accentuated her sexy curves. However, one look from Adam made these men hide their heads like ostriches.
With a soft smile, Adam began to talk to Elara, and with every minute of their conversation, he felt a little strange. Elara was something different today, and her view of Adam had changed radically.
If she had behaved rather reservedly before, now she was not even embarrassed when she hugged his arm and snuggled her large breasts. Adam could smell the delicate perfume of Elfheim's natural products and felt relaxed.
"Johnny, Rosa, and Ronald came an hour ago. They invited me, but I said I was waiting for you..." Elara smiled and took Adam's hand in an intimate grip. Her eyes sparkled. "Shall we go?"
Adam smiled softly and pulled Elara close to him, then whispered in her ear, teasing her on purpose: "Of course, all for you."
Elara trembled, and Adam saw that her long, pointed ears were red with embarrassment, but she had a soft smile on her lips. Adam laughed and took her hand, and then they entered the restaurant. As expected, Ronald and Rosa were there.
"Hello! It's been a long time." Adam smiled softly and waved his hand.
Ronald and Rosa looked around and saw Adam accompanied by the beautiful elf, Elara. They smiled brightly and stood up to greet them. Ronald walked up to Adam and shook his hand, smiling brightly.
Rosa, on the other hand, hugged Elara, and they started chatting about something of their own. Adam and Ronald looked at each other and grinned. Adam took the initiative to bring two chairs.
"Elara, come here" Adam called out to her.
Elara smiled and approached him, looking happy. She was very happy as she was able to make friends with Rosa, who was a duchess. She smiled softly at Adam, who pulled back his chair.
With Adam's help, Elara sat down at the table, and together they began to discuss. It was mostly just small talk that lacked any context, but Adam noticed a slightly somber mood in Ronald.
"Ronald, I can see that something is wrong with you. Tell me if there's anything I can do to help." Adam smiled and leaned back in his chair. He looked like he was going to help sincerely, and he looked like a concerned friend who wanted to help a fellow man.
Ronald straightened his back when Adam could read his mood and smiled bitterly as he looked at Adam's "professional" face, which had a bright smile on it. Although a benevolent aura emanated from Adam, it was impossible to read any emotion in his eyes.
Ronald, however, remembering his situation and the reason he had been acting so friendly with Adam, hesitated a little, but then began to tell Adam about his problem, hoping for help.
"Johnny, you are shrewd. I'm ashamed that I showed you my weakness." Ronald smiled bitterly and then began to tell. "As you already know, this war consumes a lot of my attention as well as my nerves. My territory is quite close to the war zone, and several towns in my domain have suffered a raid, and most of the inhabitants have been turned into slaves."
The atmosphere in the restaurant immediately became somber, and even the ever-smiling Rosa grew gloomy as teardrops began to gather in the corners of her eyes and her eyes became moist. Holding her husband's hand, she lowered her head and shook her head.
Elara, who also sensed the change in the general mood, and after Ronald's monologue, could only lower her head and express her sympathies. Adam listened intently to Ronald, and when he finished his story, Adam summed it up in his mind: "He needs the money".
Adam thought a little and closed his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest. Ronald and the others decided not to disturb him and remained silent, each in his thoughts. But even though Adam looked as if he had fallen asleep, he had entered the system.
After thinking briefly, Adam went into the [Chamber of Commerce] and jogged to the tent with the name "Other". There he saw a piggy bank and touched it. When Adam took the piggy bank in his hands, a screen of information appeared in front of him.
[Title: Currency Conversion
Type: Other
Exchange: 1 Seduction Point = 100 Platinum Dragon Stones]
Adam flashed his eyes and looked at his account, where he saw "190 Seduction Points". Adam hesitated for a moment, then decided to spend twenty Seduction Points to buy 2,000 platinum Dragonstones.
For a minute, that was a lot. Previously, Adam had only 500 platinum Dragonstones, which he could not spend in a day, even if he wanted to. He stepped out of the space system and saw the expectant gazes of a married couple of Dukes.
"I can provide you with 1,000 platinum Dragonstones." Adam smiled softly and broke the news.
Ronald and the others present looked so exhausted as if they had lost their vitality. Soon Ronald was the first to come to his senses, coughing slightly, and it looked as if he would not be long before he coughed up blood. Adam couldn't contain his laughter.
1,000 Platinum Dragonstones... that could fill the coffers of a large kingdom for ten years. And Adam was willing to give the same amount to an ordinary duke who had never seen more than 500 Platinum Dragonstones.
"Of course, we need a contract. It's not out of mistrust on my part, just a precautionary measure for both sides. After all, it's not a small amount." Adam apologized, watching Ronald, who looked a little tense.
"N-no, no problem. I'm sure if I had that kind of money, I could never turn it down." replied Ronald, barely catching his breath, and forcibly smiled at Adam, who seemed satisfied.
"Of course, I'm willing to sign a contract with you, but...how can I ever thank you?" Ronald asked. Adam closed his eyes and pondered, trying to figure out exactly what he wanted. Right now his main goal was to seduce Elara, and he wasn't quite sure how to proceed.
What does he desire? What could he get out of it? There were a few options. Adam simply desired to spend time with women and enjoy life.
That's when the thought occurred to him.
"I'd like to build a city. But the land is very hard to get, you know that." Adam smiled softly, his eyes shining. "If you can provide me with good land on the three borders, I will not forget your kindness." He continued, waiting for a response from Ronald. "I need good land on the three borders, if you can give me that, I will not forget your kindness."
