You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

She licked her pink lips, giving them a glossy, moist sheen.

After relieving the dryness on her lips, Aria, with her heart pounding with increasing tension, gently closed her beautiful eyes, tilted her head back, and kissed him.

chirp~

The two kissed passionately and for a long time, seemingly forgetting everything else.

The soundproof shield interfered with the terminal's communication, preventing Elvis from hearing the subtle noises. However, the lack of response over a long period still caused him to feel a sense of panic.

However, Elvis, who was intimidated by Aria's tough attitude and knew that he was no match for her, dared not say anything more and could only wait anxiously for Aria to speak.

About five minutes later, Aria's voice finally came through the terminal.

Why are you still here?

The question, so casual yet so matter-of-fact, filled Elvis with immense humiliation, but he could only force a stiff smile and say, "I just... wanted to check on you—"

"There's no need. You don't need to worry about my affairs anymore."

The expensive gilded jade cup was scratched, leaving a noticeable crack. When Stuart saw this, a flash of pain crossed his eyes. He cursed Elvis inwardly for looking like he had lost his parents, but he also felt more confident about his plans.

Having said all that, even though Elvis felt utterly humiliated, he could only swallow his pride and force a smile, saying, "Okay, I understand... Please rest well and calm down. We can talk about everything when we get back to the capital—"

Before he could finish speaking, the terminal communication was disconnected. Looking at his own face reflected on the blacked-out screen, Elvis's breathing became heavy, and angry bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes.

Despite his inner rage, Elvis maintained a sliver of rationality, knowing that they were in front of outsiders and he absolutely could not express the slightest dissatisfaction with Arya.

After a moment's thought, Elvis casually put away the terminal, then looked at Stewart with a slightly helpless expression and smiled, "Haha, women always like to be a little sullen, you know that."

Stuart did not respond directly, but instead showed an expression of agreement and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Feeling frustrated, Elvis lost interest in sitting any longer. Seeing that his wine glass was cracked and he couldn't pour any more wine, he decided to get up and leave.

"It's getting late, I should go back."

“Well… Young Master Elvis, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you will allow me to say it.”

Just as Elvis was about to stand up completely, Stewart called him back, looking somewhat hesitant.

"Oh?"

Elvis narrowed his eyes, sat back down with a hint of curiosity, and raised his hand to say, "You've done well tonight, so just say what's on your mind."

Upon hearing this, Stewart's expression relaxed, and he then stood up and waved to the audience. A woman at the head of the group slowly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Elvis.

Looking at the serene and beautiful woman, Elvis became intrigued and even more eager for the "unreasonable request" Stuart had mentioned.

"Although they are all my slaves, I treat them very well. Of course, I have never touched them."

With a kind expression, Stuart looked at the beautiful dancer kneeling on the ground and said with a smile, "However, after you arrived today, my best-trained girl fell in love with you at first sight and insisted on dancing for you."

Hearing Stuart's sincere tone, Elvis's anger gradually subsided. Although he maintained a calm expression, a hint of "that's how it should be" still flashed in his eyes.

After all, she's from a small city, so it's quite normal for her to have such thoughts about me.

Elvis thought to himself, then leaned back in his chair, gesturing for Stewart to continue.

"Hehehe, that's why she wants to offer herself to you."

After saying this, a blush suddenly appeared on the beautiful dancer's face, and she lowered her head shyly.

From Elvis's perspective, having lived in the capital, although she was far inferior to Aria, this dancer could still be considered a beauty. In addition, the girlish shyness revealed by her unintentional blush made him even more eager.

However, based on the reserve of so-called upper-class nobles, and the worry that it would cause resentment if Aria knew about this, Elvis still hesitated and said, "This... isn't that a bad idea?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the kneeling dancer trembled, and her blushing face quickly faded, turning deathly pale.

Seeing this sorrowful face, Elvis sighed inwardly, his already wavering refusal becoming even more shaky.

Seeing this, the shrewd and experienced Stuart immediately offered him a way out, saying, "Don't worry, she's just a mere prostitute. Of course, she wouldn't think she's good enough for you. It's just a momentary infatuation on her part that led her to ask you for a night of passion."

"Rest assured, nothing here will be known to anyone else. If any word gets out, with your power, dealing with me would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

After a few rounds of drinks, Elvis's rationality had diminished.

Coupled with the contemptuous treatment he received from his fiancée, Elvis's frustration was nearing its peak.

Now, a beautiful young woman is offering herself to him without any consequences, which greatly appeals to Elvis.

"Sigh... I'm not a heartless person. Since you've said so, find me a clean room."

Elvis sighed with regret, then lovingly lifted the kneeling dancer's delicate arm, swallowed, and pulled her into his arms. He then held her tightly around the waist and looked at Stuart, saying...

Seeing Elvis's eagerness, Stewart bowed and said, "As you wish."

Then, Stewart and the dancer exchanged a glance, and she took Elvis's hand and led him to an empty room.

After the two figures disappeared into the hall, Stuart waved away the other dancers present, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"My lord, the miniature magical camera we bought from the underground market in the capital is ready. Elvis will inevitably be in the same boat as us."

From the shadows, an elderly butler slowly emerged, smiling as he spoke.

Stuart took a sip of his drink, chuckled, and said sarcastically, "What kind of scions of prominent families in the capital are they? Besides their strength, they have nothing else to boast about."

As he spoke, Stuart stared at the cracked wine glass, his eyes filled with heartache, and chuckled softly, "But that's not entirely true. I'm curious to see how this person will react later, given that he can stomach that kind of scum."

When this matter was mentioned, the butler's face twitched, as if he had remembered something terrifying, and he swallowed hard.

There are many beauties in this world, but no matter how undesirable Elvis is, his vision is still quite good. Even if a woman is very beautiful, she is still a dancer who cannot be presented to the public.

Even without considering Aria's opinion, Elvis would have maintained his dignity for a moment longer and wouldn't have agreed so quickly.

In fact, the dancer from earlier was no ordinary person; she was one of the vampires who had infiltrated the city of Sifil in disguise.

This vampire has a deep understanding of mimicry; once he kills a target, he can use that target's skin to completely transform into that target's appearance.

Of course, this only applies to appearances; otherwise, these vampires would have already considered assassinating Stuart instead of cooperating with him.

It's worth mentioning, however, that this vampire's extraordinary rank is not high, and it has lived for a long time, its true form already showing signs of old age.

But what this old vampire loves to do most is steal the skins of young, beautiful, and weak women of various races, and then use a kind of charm magic to seduce strong and powerful men.

Although they are called vampires, they share the same blood essence and can draw power from this source, which is even more effective than consuming ordinary blood.

So that's how this old vampire has managed to survive until now... Of course, what's even more bizarre is that this vampire is actually male.

When showing his sincerity, Stewart had seen the other party's true form, so the thought of what was going to happen to Elvis later made him feel a chill, but he also couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, and tell those vampires to be careful not to hurt Arya Wayne, or we'll be in big trouble."

Stuart didn't believe the Wayne family would simply send a young lady out for training. Who knew she might have some extraordinary item that could instantly teleport a protector? If that happened, they would be doomed.

Watching the old butler's departing figure, Stewart took another sip of his drink, feeling inexplicably uneasy. However, everything that was progressing was going according to plan, and there were no abnormalities reported from Alar's side.

So, I guess I was overthinking it.

"Wow, this is really big news."

Inside the Stuart mansion, in the secret treasure vault, Shiloh, distracted by manipulating the miniature monitoring robots in the hall, raised an eyebrow and revealed a slight smile.

"What intelligence... Hey, we're supposed to be infiltrating, can't we at least have some atmosphere?"

After being drawn to Shiloh's words, a hint of amusement appeared in Aria's pale golden eyes, but she quickly realized that now was not the time to talk about this, so she nudged the other's waist with her elbow and said coquettishly.

Shiloh shrugged, then pointed to a spot and said, "That's where Stuart hid his illegal slaves. Once you get down there, you'll uncover a lot of secrets."

Upon hearing this, Aria looked at an unremarkable wall, walked over and touched it, then said with some confusion, "How do we open this hidden door? It looks like there's nothing there."

Shiloh didn't speak, but gestured for Arya to erect a prayer barrier that looked exactly like the surrounding environment. Then he took out a "key" from his magic storage bag and held it flat in front of the wall.

hum-

With a buzzing sound, the object, shaped like an iron disc, instantly unfolded intricate flowing patterns. Then, as if its programming had been cracked, a magical portal appeared out of thin air on the wall.

Before Arya could even be surprised, Shiloh quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her through the doorway.

The moment he stepped out the door, Shiloh's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He pulled a shadow magic scroll from his bag and instantly unleashed it in all directions.

The guards at the gate didn't even have time to react before they fainted.

"We need to hurry. Before they can react, we must get to the archives and retrieve their slave trading ledgers!"

While speaking, Shiloh threw miniature magical robots with automatic cameras onto the ground as if they were free. The videos they captured would be transmitted to the main equipment in real time.

The main equipment that Shiloh had set up was stored in a secret room deep inside the Maple Leaf Territory mansion, and the other was kept by Irene, who stayed at the Tranquil Church.

It can be said that from the moment Shiloh entered the basement, Stuart's death was inevitable.

After all, it was clear from the basement that there were several alien slaves whose appearances differed from humans.

"The intensified prayer for concealment is ready, let's go!"

Upon hearing that they were about to obtain evidence of Stuart's illegal slave trade, Aria instantly became excited. A sense of justice to catch the criminal and the thrill of adventuring with her lover surged into her heart, causing an excited blush to appear on the young lady's serene face.

The moment he disconnected the terminal communication, Shiloh immediately took Arya and headed straight for Stuart's treasure vault.

With Aria, the Moonlight-type Prayer Master of the [Steps of the Void], there's nothing to worry about—infiltrating silently is a piece of cake.

To activate the various mechanisms, all Xiluo needed to do was use the [Universal Magic Key] given to him by his mother.

After all, the "treasure" Stuart found in the capital's black market was nothing more than an old thing that had long been discarded by the various agencies of the empire.

As the mother of the Empire's chief professor of magical artifact research, she naturally possessed the ability to crack all magical artifacts on the market. Therefore, before leaving, she chose the best one and gave it to Shilo.

Therefore, Stewart believed that his seemingly impregnable treasure trove was no different from paper in front of Shiloh.

Arya held Shiloh's hand tightly, the mesmerizing moonlight surrounding them, concealing their rapid movements, and soon they arrived at the door where the ledgers were kept.

Since the city of Hifiel was a small place, there weren't enough extraordinary experts to guard it for Stuart. So, the things he used to guard the archives were four combat-type magical puppets that he had bought at great expense.

According to tests, each puppet's combat power is comparable to that of a [Azure Flame Rank] transcendent. The four puppets combined can even briefly contend with a [Star Rank] transcendent.

Unfortunately, Stuart had no idea that Shiloh possessed such a cracked version of the Magic Universal Key.

Faced with the four magical puppets about to be awakened, Shilo simply pressed the center of the key. The unfolding patterns then triggered an invisible interference wave, causing the puppets' gradually reddening eyes to flicker before extinguishing and turning grayish-white.

"Open Sesame!"

Shiloh snapped his fingers, casually uttered an opening spell, and the broken door swung open, welcoming his arrival.

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the guards. The noise from not far away slowly gathered, and Xiluo threw out another intermediate shadow magic scroll. A huge black shadow enveloped him, obscuring the senses of the guards who were rushing to the scene.

Once inside the archives, Shiloh took everything in sight, regardless of its contents.

With the master key unlocked, the hidden compartment in the archives naturally popped out. While marveling at how cunning Stuart was, Shiloh quickly shoved it into his pocket.

Chapter 71 The Sultry and Enchanting Secret Space (Part 2)

After gathering all the evidence, Shiloh ran to Arya's side and nodded to her.

But then, seeing the girl rushing back towards where she came in, Xi Luo quickly pulled her back and said, "The spatial passage here is one-way; we can't go back from where we came from."

"Huh? What should we do then?"

Aria paused for a moment, then began to calculate the possibility of fighting these criminals to the death... Actually, it didn't seem impossible to kill them all...

Before this dangerous idea could be fully revealed, it was dispelled by a gentle tap on the head from Shiloh.

"The evidence has been found, so we don't need to do anything else. Now we just need to leave this place."

Aria rubbed her head, pouted her pink lips, and said cutely and innocently, "Easy for you to say, but how are we going to leave?"

Shiloh held up a finger and smiled, “After this place is invaded, those prepared ‘goods’ will definitely be rushed out. We just need to sneak into the slave transport wagons.”

To conceal their presence, these vehicles transporting slaves were designed with a spacious and ingenious hiding place at the bottom of the carriage.

Hearing what Shilo said, a look of worry flashed in Aria's eyes, and she asked, "If we leave like this, won't the slaves here be harmed?"

Xilu shook his head and said, "Even if they kill all the slaves, it won't help. They can't possibly dispose of the bodies in such a short time. I've already disabled all the magical mechanisms here, and the self-destruct program has been cracked. Only if we get out of here as soon as possible and send the location information to the lord of the city of Xifeier can we truly save these slaves."

"Okay...I understand!"

After saying that, Arya followed Shiloh and crept towards the slave wagons that were being transported out.

Of course, when she encountered those guards who were in complete disarray along the way, Arya also casually threw out moon wheels, severing their heads.

However, the Moonlight Prayer was not as bloody as it appeared in practice, with scenes of blood gushing out. Instead, a straight line of moonlight appeared on their necks, and then the eyes of those struck turned deathly gray, and their lives were extinguished.

At this moment, Arya was like an invisible assassin, calmly reaping one life after another, causing great panic among the guards.

"what happened?"

Sensing the slightly surprised look in Shiloh's eyes, Aria turned her head in confusion and asked.
