Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
Chapter 363 One Step Closer To The Truth

While Daimon was inspecting Pablo and the pirates who were disguised as clients, the poor girl from the angel fish clan was shivering, she could hear the horrible screams coming from the many private rooms and her legs nearly gave in.

She noticed that the other girl in the group who was holding onto the arm of the guy that bought her wasn't worried at all, and she sneakily got closer to Daimon before she grabbed the corner of his robe.

An action that didn't escape Daimon nor Pablo's eyes, while Daimon didn't pay too much attention to it, Pablo was inwardly gritting his teeth, the precious rare slave he used nearly all his connections to replace, was mistakenly shipped to the wrong branch of Blaktr and some high ranked rich master from the Clear Water Kingdom seemed to have recognized it.

The defeat and disappearance of the angel fish clan happened way too long ago, even before the current king became the leader of the kingdom, and of course such a humiliating thing was buried under the carpet and erased from history books, so at this point only those who were above the Arch rank back then still remember about it.

In other words, for Daimon to have recognized that girl as a member of the angel fish clan, Pablo supposed he has to be the direct descendant of at least a peak stage Half Stellar rank or maybe even a recently ascended Stellar rank.

'Fucking useless bastards, now I have to deal with some spoiled brat to get my prize… well if the kid doesn't know what's good for him, there is no bodyguard here, so don't blame for what happens, a nice reality check is good for the idiot nobles of this place hahaha', thought Pablo to himself.

Though Daimon couldn't read Pablo's mind, how could he not decipher what the intentions of an Arch ranked are, he whose battle prowess reached the Arch rank realm while using Core Synchrony can perfectly understand them, or it would more accurate to say that his instincts had reached that level.

'Angered and confused horn dogs are easier to see through, so let's add some fuel to the fire', thought Daimon with a grin, he then hugged Aisha by her waist and the girl from the angel fish clan by her upper back and shoulder, it was only an act of course, and the result was as he expected.

He could see Pablo's grip on the railing of the stairs tightening and his hand slightly twisting the metal, but he still managed to not explode and just smiled as he invited Daimon to a room right in the center of the complex, one whose door is about trice the size of the others.

"This room is reserved for the manager of a VIP area and his friends, so why don't we have a drink and enjoy this fated meeting of fellows who share the same tastes", he said with an eloquent voice.

Daimon nodded as he stole a gaze at both Aisha and the girl from the angel fish clan, and then he went upstairs followed by them, right into the room which Pablo mentioned, inside he had to admit that the guys that ran this place put quite a lot of money into these VIP rooms.

If he wasn't in a mission, he wouldn't mind spending some quality time with his girls in a similar room, as he was sure it would be a pleasant experience considering all the "commodities" that were installed here.

Daimon returned to reality because he could feel both Aisha and Evangeline's gazes on him, while Narasha was as confused as always regarding human emotions.

He sat down on one couch and Aisha as well as the other girl sat down next to him, while Pablo occupied the other couch in front of them, there a pole in the middle which was obviously there for the delight of the clients.

"Little friend, aren't you going to ask that missy to entertain us while we have a drink?", asked Pablo, as he licked his lips while looking at the girl from the angel fish clan, who instead clinged harder to Daimon's body, making him frown as he noticed something interesting, but he decided to leave it for later and instead answered.

"Well, she doesn't seem to be in the mood for that, and so that wouldn't sweeten my eyes, why don't you bring some of the best girls of your establishment brother Pablo, it would help to make a more friendly atmosphere don't you think so?", said Daimon with a cunning smirk on his face.

Pablo felt the urge to twist Daimon's neck, but he looked at the clearly afraid girl which he wanted to get no matter what and ultimately complied.

"Sure, everything to make this memorable moment more special", said Pablo as he clapped.

The door of the room opened and two girls on their late twenties wearing provocative clothes entered, they immediately started dancing and putting on a show for them, that wasn't all, they even brought some snacks and bottles into the room and proposed to serve everyone.

Or that was the idea, but there was someone faster than them, Aisha grabbed some grapes and cutely fed them to Daimon, for her this was nothing more than a date, the girl from the angel fish clan tried to copy Aisha just to be glared by her, which ultimately led to her remaining quiet while holding onto Daimon's arm in silence.

Pablo was at the verge of collapse right now, even when the two women were putting their all to please him, he simply wasn't in the mood, not when the prize he has been aiming for was a few meters away from him.

"Ahem, little friend I wonder why are you so keen in monopolizing that missy, though she is pretty, I don't think is worth all the hassle, you even paid 10 million sea crystals just to keep her for one night and yet you are ignoring her", said Pablo, it is clear that the spoiled brat in front of him is giving all his attention to the girl that came with him, though it made sense as the nobles who frequent Blaktr are the black sheep of their families, so it's normal for couples who shared some… eccentric tastes to come and enjoy together.

Daimon who was drinking the wine Aisha was lovingly giving him, gulped down the whole cup before saying.

"It's all about enjoying the moment, after what happened today who knows what will happen to the kingdom tomorrow, so when I saw that girl, I just felt like getting her, aren't we nobles supposed to enjoy our privileges anyway?".

Pablo nearly vomited blood.

'What kind of trash noble raised this brat!', he screamed in his heart, but he kept his fake smiling expression as he tapped his finger on the table in front of him.

"That is indeed true, but what if I insist on getting that girl, there must be some kind of agreement we can reach, since she isn't as interesting as your partner for you right?".

Daimon put on a dubitative expression, which made the girl from the angel fish clan shiver, if she was sold to that pervert then her life would be over, unfortunately for her before she could say anything, Daimon nodded at Pablo.

"Well, it's not like it's impossible, for the correct price everything can be discussed", he said.

Pablo smirked, the number of members of the young generation that could basically throw away 10 million sea crystals in one day just for debauchery was limited, to the princes and probably the descendants of dukes and he was sure the spoiled brat in front of him isn't one of them, so he supposed Daimon was just bragging and now wanted to get his money back and make some profit so that his family doesn't disown him for being stupid.

"Of course, I won't treat brother Alexander bad, how about I return you your whole payment and give you access to this special room for a day?".

But to Pablo's surprise, Daimon shook his head before he raised two of his fingers, which made him think.

'Oh, could it be wants to double his investment, perhaps this brat isn't that much of an idiot, if he gets this much sea crystals by himself, then he can get a huge merit from his family, it would be worth helping him so that he can be a puppet for us', thought Pablo, but his mind then froze when he heard Daimon's next words.

"Brother Pablo must be joking, if one uses a life worth of luck then there is a possibility of a girl from the angel fish clan appearing on the back market and the price wouldn't go below two hundred millions of sea crystals, and we are talking about an early stage Lord ranked like this girl".

Pablo nearly broke the armrests of the couch, but he then took a deep breath thinking that if he turns the brat in front of him in a puppet, the price will be worth it, so he was about to accept the deal, when he saw Daimon's mouth opening one more time to put the last nail into the coffin of his sanity.

"That is of course the price for the normal members of the angel fish clan, but this girl is not only a member of their royal family, but she is also pure am I right, I heard my grandpa once saying that getting the first night of a girl from those conditions is not only a heavenly blessing, but it actually brings luck and prosperity… it is even said that one of the previous kings was gifted with such delight".

Daimon smirked and then showed his two fingers at Pablo before saying.

"If you want me to give up in such a good opportunity naturally the compensation should be of the same nature, let's say how about twenty thousand millions of high quality sea crystals, that would be enough".

Forget about Pablo who was frozen cold, the two women he brought fell from the pole, the price Daimon mentioned was outrageous, let alone the purity of a member of the angel fish race, whose royal family had extinguished when they were stripped of their noble status, meaning he was lying, for a third of that price one could buy an early stage Half Stellar ranked slave, the highest grade of slave available, it would be a magic beast with its mind broken and the capacity of an Arch rank, as there weren't humanoid slaves of that level, but still a Half Stellar ranked, though only to show.

Not to mention it's hard to know if there are even enough high ranked sea crystals in the whole Mermen Sea including the unexplored areas, to meet such a quantity, the vast majority of the riches exist in low and middle ranked quality sea crystals, why do you ask, because high ranked sea crystals are used by middle stage Stellar ranks and above to cultivate, they are way too valuable and scarce.

The girl from the angel fish clan was perplexed while Aisha giggled and rested her face on Daimon's chest.

'Every time I see that smile on darling's face, someone is about to suffer~', she thought.

It took a whole minute for Pablo to react, in which Daimon just gulped another glass of wine waiting for his answer, which was as he expected negation.

"B-Brother Alexander must be joking, even if we were talking about low quality sea crystals, that amount will be too much for a girl from the angel fish clan…".

Daimon interrupted him saying.

"It's not just the angel fish clan, but their royal lineage", Pablo felt a vein popping on his neck but he still tried to reason.

"Brother must know that they have extinguished".

But Daimon shrugged in response.

"That's why I'm putting such a price, there is one in my arms right now, I'm even giving you a friend's discount, if you were the king I would be asking trice that price, I have aother proposition for you though".

Pablo finally couldn't hold back, the pressure of a peak Arch rank fell on the room, making the things tremble a bit as he stood up from his seat with an angered expression.

"What if you had no arms to hold onto her "brother", I bet your price would diminish too, let's count in the life of that partner of yours I bet your discount will be even bigger then, not to mention my status is higher than that of the White family's king!", he shouted, the two women that were previously entertaining them pounced at Daimon and Aisha with needles they took out of their hair.

But they suddenly froze midair, their bodies were dragged into a black hole that appeared on the ground in front of Daimon, no it would be more accurate to say it was his shadow which had extended to cover his side of the room.

Screams and the sound of bones being crushed could be heard from the black hole, before a woman's head peeked out of it, with a death cold expression on her face.

"Bitches don't get in my young master's way", who could it be besides Rita, who somehow seemed scarier than normal.

'Maybe she has been influenced by Horals's enthusiasm', though Daimon as he felt the rich murderous aura coming from Rita.

Pablo felt his body going numb, he didn't have mana sense so he couldn't pinpoint Rita's realm, but the fact that he as a peak Arch rank couldn't move, made him think she was a Half Stellar rank.

"Uncle, someone is trying to kill me, help!", he shouted, but to his despair no one came to aid him, not only that but he wasted his last seconds of freedom, since Rita had yet to recover it took her a few more seconds for her to fully restrain someone in the same real as her.

"Shadow Heart Puppeteer, Shadow Bind", with those words, Pablo's body stiffened he couldn't even blink now, in fact even thinking was hard, and so the treasures he had on him didn't activate to save him too.

But that wasn't the worse, but the fact that Daimon was looking at him with a grin, while he relaxed on the couch with two beauties in his arms.

"You didn't let me finish, I was going to tell you my other offer, you can have a painless death if you give me that same payment in properties and information, let's see, the location of Black Wave's branch and everything you know about them should be enough for you to leave this world peacefully "brother" Pablo".

Pablo's face paled, his body trembled and he wondered if his eyes were deceiving him, because he saw an infinite black shadow with sharp purple eyes standing behind who he thought was a spoiled brat.

'He is a demon!', he shouted in his heart.

And to give him the last blow, the door of the room opened and a tall woman with an elegant aura, a black dress and a mask entered with a head mounted on her spear.

"A mere Half Stellar telling such vulgarities to this Empress, that's why I hate these pirates, humph", said Thea as she softly snorted.

Daimon bitterly smiled, what was the point of wearing a mask if the Black Empress was going to talk in that unique way which identified her, he thought, anyway he looked at Pablo and realized that this catch was actually more important than what he expected, luckily there was a Half Stellar personally killed by Thea to take the blame, because he had other plans for Pablo now, if his suppositions were current then… he would be one step closer to unveil the truth of Neptune.

But for now, they had to leave this unpleasant place, he couldn't leave the other branches of Blaktr to discover what happened here though, so he still had one thing to do before leaving, one to which the soundproof room was a blessing.

A green portal opened on the air, from which the black armored bone general came out, with an excited expression and a notebook in his hands, it was time to torture some poor bastard for the sake of his young master's conquer after all.

"Miss Thea, if you do the honor to break whatever restriction this guy has, so Horals can learn everything since the moment he had use of reason, please".

"Mm", the Black Empress nodded and then one of her pupils behind her mask changed from its natural honey yellow tone to a red one, and Pablo vomited blood, he would have screamed and probably rolled on the ground but he was still being restricted by Rita's spell, so he could only slightly tremble in agony.
