After A6 was overwhelmed by Ang's presence, she took a deep breath to compose herself and thought, "So he doesn't want to reveal his identity. "
Looking at A6's complex expression, Ang asked, "So what should I call you from now on? I can't address you as A6 in public now, can I?"
A6 thought momentarily and said, "The young master can call me Thara", placing her left hand on her chest and with a light bow.
Upon hearing the name, something clicked in Ang's memory. It was as if he could recall someone with the same name as Thara from his time as the Lust King. After getting lost in his memories, he remembered a Grand-master warrior in the Dark clan.
Two Grand-masters were testing their strength in an Arena surrounded by many viewers. One was a lady dressed in all black, and the other was a man dressed in fiery Red. They exchanged blows in a fierce battle; one wrong move could result in a bad injury.
"Thara, don't you think we should stop now? We both know that you can't win against me", the Lust king said, avoiding the barrages of punches Thara threw at him.
"Can't Win my ass. You know full well that you would have been beaten to a pulp by now if it was night." Thara roared angrily as she used shadow steps to disappear from Lust King's line of sight.
"Blaming is a sign of weakness, Thara. You should be ready for a fight no matter when the opponent strikes. You cannot blame the light in a life and death situation." Lust king said as he used blazing light to emit immense light from his body. This made Thara go blind for a moment, which the Lust King took advantage of. He immediately caught hold of Thara and said, "Accept defeat, Thara."
But the cheering crowd suddenly went silent. After the light was gone and people regained their vision, all they saw was Lust King clenching onto Thara's left boob while Thara was gritting her teeth in pain.
In the heat of the battle, he did not know what he caught hold of. When realising what he did, he let go and said, "I.." but was cut off mid-sentence by Thara, "No wonder they call you Lust King" while gritting her teeth in shame.
"I..."
"Lust King, this was a duel where the winner takes all. So, is this what you wanted from me from the beginning?" Thara asked while covering the tear on her cloths near her left boob. Her Face became red from the rage that is building up in her.
"I..."
"Fine, I did lose to you. So, I need to accept the outcome. Just let me know when and where. I will show up and fulfill your wicked desires," she stated angrily, clenching her fists and flying off, throwing a deadly glare at his for the last time.
That was the last time Ang saw Thara as the lust king. Due to that awkward incident, he never met her again. Later, during his final fight against Shin, he heard that Julia and Liliana's joint attack during the day killed Thara. Thara was a practitioner of the Shadow Core. As such, she was weak during the day.
As Ang recalled his memories about Thara from his past, he started to see the resemblance between A6 in front of him and Thara from his time as Lust King. A smile came to his Face as he subconsciously looked at Thara's left boob.
[System Notification]
[Shadow core: One of the sub-core types that cultivators can cultivate. By cultivating in absolute darkness and avoiding cultivating in light, one starts to absorb the shadow Qi in regards to their path.]
[If a cultivator with Air Core cultivates only at night or in the absence of light, they develop a shadow Qi Air Core. The main advantage of this type of core is that the cultivator becomes 25% more powerful during night and in darkness]
[The main disadvantage is that the cultivator's power decreases by 25% in the presence of light]
Observing how Ang was looking at her chest, Thara coughed and said, "I guess the tea is going cold. Maybe Master should hurry up and drink it." she thought, "A typical noble attitude. Just because they are nobles, they think they can have anything they want."
"A shadow core ah.." Ang said as he took the teacup that Thara handed him over. Thara was taken back and froze for a moment. "How did he know? I have never said anything about my core type to anyone till date. Then how did he know? Perhaps he just guessed? No, it's not possible. Out of anything he could say, why would he specifically say about a shadow core."
A sweat started to form on her forehead. Core details are very secretive for cultivators. Some people don't even share this information with their spouses. Once a person's core information is leaked, it would be easy to find their weaknesses. If word gets out that Thara's strength decreases during the day, then she will be in a very tight spot.
She gathered her courage and asked, "How? How did.. you know?"
Ang sipped the tea and said, "Well, I know many things. Are you worried?"
Ang knew what might be going on in Thara's head right now. He wanted to put a leash on her. She might be acting all friendly, but once he turned his back around, there was a good chance she might betray him. So he deliberately exposed her core subtype, indicating that he knows way more about her than she knows about him and she should not mess around with him.
"May I know what the young master expects by revealing this information?" Thara asked, concerned about the information being leaked.
"Well, nothing much Since you know my identity. Isn't it normal for me to know something about you too?" Ang replied.
"The young master can rest assured that Madam A1 and I are the only people who know your identity. And the last thing we want is to disturb the peaceful life of our benefactor." Thara said quickly.
"You can also be rest assured that I will maintain this information as securely as possible. The last thing I want is to harm the people trying to maintain a friendly relationship with me." Ang said mockingly. Even though he was calm about it, he felt threatened when he saw the leaf with A1's signature in the pond.
"Looks like the Young master got offended. I wonder what I can do to maintain a friendly relationship with the young master," said Thara, trying to maintain a smile. She remembered how Ang was looking at her chest earlier and devised a plan to resolve their current situation.
"I wonder what you can do..." Ang said softly as he remembered how Thara said she would fulfill the lust king's desires. "I did not get a chance to have fun with her then, but maybe I can now.." he thought while looking at her curvy body.
Looking at how Ang stole glances at her body, Thara gained a bit more confidence. She thought, "You might be someone with huge connections, but in the end, you are also a man ruled by his desires."
Thara moved closer to Ang, seated on a chair near the window. She bent enough so that Ang could get a good look at her cleavage. As the move took aback Ang, he thoroughly enjoyed the view. She slowly moved her right hand on Ang's crotch area until she felt a bump in his pants and said, "Will the Young master understand our sincerity if I can display some goodwill?"
