There was no way Hal was not going to see what Aliya had just said as a complete joke.

Surveillance to make sure he didn't leave the Duchy?

What sort of an impossible endeavor was that?

Well, to be fair, she had no way of knowing that Hal had his ways to circumvent all of her attempts to keep him in the Duchy.

Aliya stood up from behind her desk to walk over to the sofa... She sat at the end of it and stretched her hand toward Hal with her expression still as stoic as ever,

"The Orb pieces," she said and Hal watched her hand for a few seconds before he brought the necklaces out of his inventory and put them in her hand.

Aliya eyed the Orb pieces intently as though to find any evidence that suggested Hal had replaced them with fakes or that he had been otherwise dubious.

Of course, ger intent search did not bear any fruits because Hal had done nothing of the sort and had no inclination to do so.

"Hmph" Aliya made an annoyed sound before she put down the necklaces to stare piercing into Hal's eyes,

"Now, I believe there was a conversation we has to put on hold last time you were here. At the time, you were still useful but now that your usefulness has run its course, I will like for you to stop shirking the question.

I ask again, what is your agenda... What are you planning?" she asked.

Her eyes were intense and her expression was no-nonsense that served to drive home that she was ready to go to the very limit of hostility with Hal...

... However, unlike the last time, she did not release her cultivation pressure and attempt to use it to choke Hal... Either she was feeling that the attempt last time had been a tad silly or she was just keeping that card to use later.

While Hal was chuckling at the idea that she was once again asking about mysterious plans she was sure he had (for good reason) Hal looked solemn as he sighed,

"Are you sure you want to know?" he asked Aliya who narrowed her eyes and gestured for him to speak.

While she had done a relatively good job keeping it hidden, she was anticipating his answer and quite ready for a fight in case there was one.

Hal took a deep breath and suddenly, he vanished from where he had been sitting as he moved closer to Aliya whose eyes widened at his audacity to attempt to close the distance between them.

While Hal had moved incredibly fast, it was still at a speed that she could follow and she was not startled when he got close to her... She was just surprised and awed by how much he seemed to crave death.

Alas, she had not even seen the extent of Hal's audacity...

The blue-eyed young man placed his hand on her thigh with a smile before he leaned and said,

"I can't tell you though... I can only show you"

His breath was so refreshing, the smell coming off his body so sweet and so enticing that Aliya froze right there...

Here was Hal giving her a taste... A small taste of how much influence he could have over her if he actually wanted the said influence.

Here was he telling her that if it actually got down to it, he had his ways of pacifying and putting her underneath him... The fact that it had not happened so far, was only because he was not exactly interested... At least not at the moment.

From the moment Hal touched her thigh, Aliya had lost her ability to move as her entire body tingled with pleasure...

"What the hell?" she managed to say as she felt the full and unbridled effects of Hal's pleasuring seduction.

Hal chuckled, a rhythmic sound that seemed to increase the pleasure Aliya was already feeling before he said,

"You can't imagine how funny you have looked to me any time you act all tough and difficult. It is so comical how impressive consider yourself to be."

"Your tricks won't work on me," Aliya said before she quickly bit her lower lip to stop the moan that was about to spill out of her mouth.

"Maybe not. There is only so far I can go before every cell in your body charged with cosmic energy and every bit of strength you have acts as some sort of defense mechanism that is capable of not only shaking off the effects of my touch but also tossing me away...

Easy as it is for me to induce pleasure in your body, you are still Cosmic Semi-saint" Hal said before he took his hand off Aliya's thigh and put a small distance between them.

Aliya glared at him in anger which was quite hard to do with pleasure still coursing through her body and making her miss the feel of Hal's hand on her thighs.

"Bastard" Aliya said while she looked to be tensing to burst out her strength as a Semi-Saint but Hal just rolled gue eyes,

"Oh please, I just came from the Duchy Palace where my primary task was to seduce the Duchess and get this necklace off her neck and somehow use her to get the one around her husband's neck...Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

I was able to succeed with a Cosmic and you think I can't do the same to you?" he asked.

"How dare you touch me?" Aliya snarled but once again, Hal just rolled his eyes,

"You say that with a lot of anger but yet you haven't attacked me... Do you know why? It's because you want more.

I have many plans... Many agendas... I obviously can't and will not yell you any of them because they are quite frankly none of your business...

They CAN become your business though... All you have to do is surrender yourself to me" he said with seriousness and confidence.

Aliya paused as though she was processing what he just said but when she did speak, the only word that came out of her mouth was,

"What?"

"Surrender yourself to me. I can guarantee that what you just felt is merely a teaser for all you stand to gain from being under my banner.

I can show you all that I want and all that I wish to accomplish but you need to be in my corner first. I need to make sure I can trust you" he said.

Aliya passed again as she wondered how her intimidation and attempt to force him to tell her what insidious plans he had somehow become a relaxed seduction where he was asking for her allegiance.

"Is this a joke?" she asked and was finally able to shake off the effects of Hal's touch before she summon her Cosmic Armament.

Hal did not spare the Armament a look though as he just smiled,

"I was able to get close to you and whether or not that was because you let down your guard, I assure you that I can do it again. When I touched you, you froze and I wasn't even being serious.

I know you actually don't want to cause a commotion but I assure you that if you were to fight me, you will lose because I will be holding nothing back."

"You're bluffing" Aliya sneered before gripping her weapon even tighter but Hal just shrugged while darkness passed over his eyes briefly but long enough to be intimidating,

"Try me," He said.

When Hal spoke, he had his words backed with the might of the Sovereign Dao and Aliya felt that weight bearing down upon her as Hal deduced that she had not yet discovered her Dao.

Strong as she was, he could still affect her with just his words...

Aliya's hand loosened around her weapon and she furrowed her brows just as Hal started talking,

"Good to see you have some sense. It would have ended very badly for you if you had been insistent in a fight.

For the record, you can have people on the lookout all you want, you could never keep me in the Duchy capital if I truly wanted to leave.

You are looking out for your Princess but even she, who I believe you know is much stronger than you, understands to leave me to my devices and simply keep our relationship and business mutually beneficial."

"Even strong people make mistakes. Tanya is overlooking the big problem that you are likely to cause, especially since you clearly have some grand ambitions that you are attempting to fulfill.

I know for sure that when you deem it the right time, you will strike her and I fear that by then, it will be too late." Aliya said with a sigh.

Hal chuckled?

"That makes me sound quite sinister," he said

Aliya opened her mouth but then shut it,

"You know what, it doesn't matter," she said before she thrust the necklaces back into his hand.

"You should head back to the Imperial city and give this to her. She is expecting you"

Once she had said that and Hal had taken back the necklaces, Aliya walked over to a door in her study which she pulled open to reveal a small space inside of which there was a Teleportation circle.
