Chapter 164 - 131: The Activation of the Seductive Demon Eye, the Puppet’s Guardianship_6

"I admit, I directly manipulated others to seek you out, which caused your displeasure. But, there is still some connection between us.

Although I haven’t met Anthony, I barely know your mother, so..."

"What does that have to do with me?" Kael raised his head. Under the moonlight, his clean and pure sea-blue eyes looked so beautiful and breathtaking.

"I didn’t lie to you about that. After all, just by looking at your eyes, I can confirm that you truly are her child." The Incubus sighed, showing a hint of melancholy.

Kael was somewhat curious about her backstory, but he knew now wasn’t the time to ask.

"What does this have to do with why you seek me out this time?"

"It doesn’t. I was just trying to tell you that there’s no need to reject me so strongly. About the Seductive Demon Eye...

We can discuss this transaction. This time, the main reason I sought you out is to talk about the recent farces that have been going on in Joy Street.

If possible, let the Undead restrain themselves a bit, and you should also tone it down.

If it’s you, you should understand that Joy Street itself has an extremely important role.

At least at this moment, the Royal Capital indeed needs a place like this to accommodate the dark side of the city."

Kael spread his hands and smiled: "I understand what you mean. After all, when there are more people, conflicts and chaos are inevitable. Sometimes, it might really be necessary to have a place to serve as a dump, where people can throw their trash.

Although this clearly is a lower-level decision made by the incompetent who seek no change, just because it’s not well-done doesn’t mean it can’t be done well. Many things aren’t inherently right just because they exist."

The Incubus, in a clipped voice, said: "Your words are too absolute. There is no absolute justice in this world, neither pure white nor sheer black. There is more gray in between.

From your appearance, you don’t look like one of those Paladins from the neighboring Papal State of Brinia, who pursue absolute justice. Why put on such a front?"

"I indeed don’t pursue so-called absolute justice. Of course, if I did pursue it, there wouldn’t be much you could do about it.

I don’t have the power to overturn Romance Street right now, so I can only say that currently, I lack the strength to clean up what I find unpleasant.

But I won’t always be lacking in power, so you should be mentally prepared."

The meaning behind Kael’s words was clear. He could leave things alone for now, but once he truly possessed the strength and the desire to act... they shouldn’t blame him for settling accounts later.

"That’s sufficient. I’ll also arrange for some people to properly discipline those Slave Traders. Over the past few years, I haven’t been in the Royal Capital, and some people have indeed overstepped."

"Besides that? Did you control the Undead to find me just to discuss this?"

The Succubus licked her lips and said: "I can help you further promote those novels and storybooks. Any amount is possible, but I require a twenty percent share."

Kael wasn’t surprised.

Seeking profits? That was normal. Those wealthy merchants and nobles wanted Lancaster’s land for the same reason: to make money.

However, he didn’t expect that his newly established business, which hadn’t even begun to develop, was already being targeted.

"Twenty percent is too much. Currently, I have sufficient funds. I don’t need your support. Expanding the market is something that can be done with money as well."

"I will require all prostitutes to familiarize themselves with and promote your storybooks. If you don’t mind Joy Street lowering the value of your storybooks, I can even act as a middleman and directly sell the books to those clients."

"Not enough. The effort and reward aren’t proportional. The cost you’re contributing doesn’t justify us giving you twenty percent of the profits."

"When I speak of Romance Street, I’m not just limiting it to the Royal Capital but covering most related industries throughout the Logan Duchy. You understand, we can really cover them all. The Incubus is a core resource.

Though Elves seem more popular, the demand-for-supply Incubus is the true hot commodity."

"Still not enough. Those novels and storybooks will eventually move out of this small niche market and reach more public places. In those areas, you can’t provide any assistance.

Taoles, state the highest price you’re willing to pay. What you’ve said so far is all trivial to me."

Taoles was indeed the true name of the Queen of Romance Street, which players in previous lifetimes had long known.

Now, hearing Kael call out her name directly, Taoles’s expression shifted slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said:

"You know more than I imagined, and you’re more greedy than I thought."

"In business, I entered this industry with the goal of making a profit. By securing external funds, I ensure my territory’s internal operations can continue running.

I won’t agree to anything that might hinder me from achieving that goal unless you can offer greater benefits. But can you?"

"What a greedy youngster. Rather than saying you possess the Lion Heart bloodline, it’s more appropriate to say you have the appetite of those serpents from the west. Let’s do it this way, I’ll offer my bottom line..."

"Go on."

"First, within the Duchy, all the Joy Streets under my reach will be entirely promoted and publicized by me.
