Kevin's hand, feeling Sia's firm butt, suddenly buzzed from his smartwatch's vibration. Annoyed, he muttered, "Why do people always call at the wrong times?" and glanced at the caller's name.
It was Samira. "Seriously? Didn't I just finish talking to her?" Kevin mumbled in confusion. He had just wrapped up a conversation with her, and now she was on the line again.
Leaving Sia engrossed in the cultivation technique, Kevin answered the call, saying, "Hey, Miss Samira. Weren't we just saying our goodbyes?"
"Sorry for continuously disturbing you, Mr. Morrison, but I wanted to ask if you could sell me two more Immortal-tier qi potions?" Samira's urgency was evident in her voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'm sorry, Miss Samira, but I can't, even if I have more," Kevin replied. He was limited to merging up to 50 Earth-grade items per month, and while he had succeeded with the first five, he couldn't guarantee the same success with higher-tier items. Additionally, he needed to make a large customer base rather than catering to just a couple of clients.
"Please, Mr. Morrison, it's a bit urgent. Name your price, and I'll pay it," Samira's tone conveyed her desperation.
If it weren't for Keyana's order for a whopping 29 potions, Kevin might've entertained Samira's plea. But he had a fat paycheck coming in from Keyana, so he wasn't stressing. Besides, selling her more potions would spill the beans on his secret stash, and he wasn't ready for that. Just as he was about to turn her down, Samira dropped a bomb. "By the way, you're a Dual Cultivator, right?"
Kevin was slightly surprised by her accurate guess. While it was common for higher-realm cultivators to identify the type of technique a lower-realm cultivator practiced based on their qi emissions, he hadn't realized that Samira was so powerful. "Yeah, that's the word on the street. Why?" he inquired, suspicion edging his tone. In this world, Dual Cultivators didn't enjoy a great reputation, although they were tolerated and sometimes even regarded as heroes.
"It means the higher the realm of your sexual partner, the faster you progress. So how about you give me some more qi potions? I'm willing to have sex with you. And by the way, I'm on the Qi Condensation realm, an entire realm higher than you," Samira suggested casually, like she was offering him a slice of pizza.
'Qi Condensation realm,' he exclaimed mentally, taken aback by her revelation. Achieving such a high realm at her age was remarkable. For context, Kevin was currently in the Meridian Linking stage of the Foundation Realm. His progression would involve strengthening his body systematically, starting with individual body parts like the liver and heart before moving on to blood vessels, skin, bones, and blood. Finally, he would infuse his entire body with qi, completing a specialized or spirit body, as they referred to it in this world. The specific type of body he'd gain was still unknown, but he understood the general process.
Considering the implications of her offer, Kevin's shock slowly turned into intrigue. As he thought about the power imbalance and the unique benefit he could gain, a sly smile crept across his lips.
Nonetheless, he understood the pathway to achieve it. Foundation realms in most cultivation techniques shared similarities, with variations arising primarily from the nature of the required qi. For instance, fire cultivation techniques utilized fire qi, though practitioners weren't restricted from using normal qi – fire qi simply yielded optimal results. Kevin's case mirrored this pattern; yin qi produced the best outcomes for him, rendering regular cultivation attempts largely ineffective.
But back to the present matter, observing Samira's readiness for a sexual encounter, Kevin felt his mouth water slightly. She possessed an undeniable allure, and his desires mixed with the greed in his eyes as he inquired, "Really? You would?"
Samira responded, "Yes, I don't mind. However, I have a condition. Let's discuss this in person. How about over dinner tonight?"
Curiously, Kevin pondered why not discuss it right then and there. Despite the initial confusion, he concluded that the location likely didn't hold great significance and agreed, "Dinner sounds good."
"Great, I'll send you the address. And please bring the potions with you – let's say, five of them?" Samira proposed.
"Five might be a bit much. How about two?" Kevin negotiated, considering he needed to keep some for his store.
"Let's compromise at three?" Samira suggested.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a content smile, Kevin accepted, "Three it is."
With their conversation concluded, Kevin's grin stretched from ear to ear. The prospect of engaging in a liaison with another beautiful woman had his spirits lifted. He glanced over at Sia, comparing her appearance to Samira's. While she didn't quite match up to Samira's allure, he recognized that 'I still have to fuck her'. Nonetheless, considering the additional benefits he stood to gain from his arrangement with Samira, he chose to delay his session with Sia for now.
"Sia, why don't you take this home and study it? If you encounter any issues, feel free to ask me tomorrow," he unexpectedly offered, catching Sia slightly off guard.
'He doesn't want to have sex with me?' Sia mused in surprise. However, truth be told, she wasn't keen on the idea either. She nodded and inquired, "Can I leave now?"
"Of course, but before you go, could you sign this?" he requested, handing her a sheet of paper.
Curious, Sia examined the page that appeared to be some form of contract. "What's this?" she questioned, scrutinizing the document.
"It's your employment contract. From now on, you won't be working for me directly. You'll be an employee of Omnitstore," Kevin explained with a broad smile. However, as he noticed Sia's smile fading, he hastened to reassure her, saying, "Don't worry, I will pay you well. How about 10,000 units a month? And that amount will increase over time."
Despite his attempts to reassure her, her lips didn't curve back into a smile. Instead, she glared at Kevin with a growing sense of anger. 'He really is a son of a... well, let's just sign it for now. I can always terminate it,' her thoughts trailed off into frustration.
Kevin watched as Sia signed the contract, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, 'You thought I would just let you go after giving you this precious technique.'
The contracts were provided by the system. Once signed, the person became a part of the system, in this case, under Kevin's authority. While a person could specify the duration they intended to work for the system, Sia remained unaware of this aspect, and Kevin chose not to disclose it, leading her to sign the contract under the assumption that it was a standard procedure.
