Chapter 384: A Daring Game of Intrigue

Sitting next to Yenir, Tang Hai felt his presence wash over him, and a soft chuckle escaped his heart.

Tsk, wasn’t he just acting all laid-back a moment ago?

Sure enough, even though this kid came from the Capital and is notoriously choosy, when it comes to someone like Blood Yinger, he can’t hide his excitement.

Judging by his expression, as long as he doesn’t make a scene later, he’d consider it a win.

He knew all too well the irresistible charm of this enchantress – she could have any man wrapped around her finger, and you’d be more than happy to let that happen…

“Young Yenir, Miss Blood Yinger has arrived. Make sure you seize the moment…”

“Maybe tonight you’ll even win her over… imagine the face you’d save if word got out!”

As Blood Yinger walked in, Tang Hai exaggeratedly winked at Yenir before resuming his drink.

Though his words seemed light, he was already scheming – if Yenir wasn’t completely in his grasp, he’d have to serve up additional temptations to mend her wounded pride. Once he did that, Yenir wouldn’t dare trouble him again.

He considered Fang Hao’s debt repaid. As for Military affairs, he had no desire to get involved.

Meanwhile, the remaining girls who hadn’t left watched Blood Yinger’s entrance with wistful eyes. Though they were all beautiful and well-formed, next to her they paled; especially with that captivating aura that no one could fake.

It was the confidence born of formidable strength—a true presence.

A stunning face alone might be a decent card to play, but more often, it’s a burden. Only when matched with high status or overpowering strength does it become lethal.

Girls like them, however pretty and adept at winning men over, were destined to be nothing more than playthings—brief amusements. But a Third-Stage beauty? That could make any powerhouse throw money around for a mere smile!

“Young Yenir?”

With a light chuckle, the Blood Wolf Leader stepped closer to Yenir, curiously examining the masked man.

For some reason, she felt an odd familiarity with him—as if she’d seen him somewhere before.

But she didn’t dwell on it.

Under Yenir’s high-level disguise, she couldn’t make out much and simply chalked it up to her imagination.

Beyond that faint sense of familiarity, her main thought was how to end this tedious ‘banquet’. If it weren’t for Tang Hai being marginally useful, she wouldn’t have bothered coming over at all.

Ever since arriving at the Far Frontier, nearly every Third-Stage had pursued her. Tang Hai’s claim that Yenir held high status didn’t interest her in the slightest.

In her eyes, Yenir was merely a Second-Stage—young and almost giddy at the sight of her. Clearly, this youth was probably just a second-generation with some money but little experience. If he could turn down even a Peak Third-Stage Yinglong, what chance did he have?

Crossing the long table, she simply nodded graciously and took an elegant seat beside Yenir.

Blessed with exquisite beauty, the intricately designed blood-red armor she wore wasn’t so much for battle as it was to accentuate her flawless figure, barely covering the essentials.

The exposed, snow-white skin against the crimson backdrop radiated an intoxicating allure.

Even if she maintained a deliberate distance, her haughty expression had both Tang Hai and Huang Yuanhao swallowing hard.

That allure was absolutely irresistible…

Under the overwhelming pressure of Blood Yinger’s spirit energy, not only did they feel no discontent, they were entirely captivated. Even under peer suppression, Huang Yuanhao felt like an ordinary man in front of a goddess.

Noticing the others trying to keep their composure, Blood Yinger covered her mouth and laughed lightly, unconcerned.

She knew men all too well.

Deep down, a man’s ideal is always one of these: the proud heiress, the cool executive, the gentle teacher from school, or a dazzling celebrity. Even if those titles fade after the end times, a solid Third-Stage status still ignites a man’s urge to conquer.

The colder she appeared, the more these men craved to possess her…

“Young Yenir, I heard you traveled a long way and are a distinguished guest of Tang Hai. What brings you to the Far Frontier?”

Even without touching his drink, the Blood Wolf Squad Leader casually began the conversation.

As she spoke, she crossed her legs nonchalantly, edging an inch closer to Yenir. A touch of sweetness amid her icy demeanor only tightened her hold over him.

Although Yenir wasn’t someone she cared for, a young second-generation might still be profitable. Compared to established Third-Stage figures, such a youth was much easier to fool.

A bit of flattery directed at Yenir and a casual inquiry was all it took; these Third-Stagers would invariably start boasting and revealing their own prowess.

Sure enough, after she subtly exuded a hint of allure, Yenir’s gaze fixated on her thigh as if he couldn’t take his eyes off it.

Meanwhile, beside Yenir, Huang Yuanhao kept his head down in embarrassment while Tang Hai tried his best to appear gentlemanly, sipping his drink calmly.

In the presence of a goddess, neither of them wanted to seem too crude.

However, as Tang Hai watched Yenir’s brazen behavior, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of disbelief and annoyance.

Really, don’t you have any pride? Acting like a rube—aren’t you afraid of scaring off such beauty? Remember how previous Safe Zone commanders and top experts always put on airs, desperate not to leave a bad impression in front of this enchantress?

Yenir’s actions made him feel utterly humiliated.

“Ahem, Young Yenir.”

Tang Hai cleared his throat, signaling Yenir to keep his composure. At the same time, he forced an awkward smile at Blood Yinger, anxious that she might leave at any moment.

Damn it—where are those tens of thousands of trade points? And if Blood Yinger takes this as an excuse to depart, my reputation will be ruined!

Are his men staring at her like a bunch of pigs, scaring her off?

Just as Tang Hai was about to lose it over Yenir’s embarrassment, he noticed Yenir’s unwavering stare fixed on Blood Yinger. At that moment, Tang Hai’s brows furrowed further, his expression turning icy.

She might roam among these Third-Stagers to gather resources, but that didn’t mean she had to debase herself! With her allure, she had long been a goddess pursued by many Third-Stagers—even Peak Third-Stage figures showed her utmost respect. Who had ever tolerated such insolence?

“Young Yenir, looking good?”

Suppressing the chill in her tone, Blood Yinger laughed lightly, though a trace of disdain lingered in her voice.

“Is that really how you plan to treat me on our first meeting? How rude.”

“You haven’t even told me why you came to the Far Frontier… Could it be just to see me?”

No sooner had she spoken than Blood Yinger intended to add a few more parting words. In her eyes, the crude youth before her couldn’t even fake sophistication—a display that was downright laughable.

Seeing Blood Yinger growing increasingly impatient, Tang Hai’s heart sank.

Damn it, how can this kid embarrass us so much!

Yet, unknown to everyone, Yenir—who had been intently watching Blood Yinger—muttered to himself.

He was about 80% sure that this woman was the Blood Wolf Leader, though he couldn’t be completely certain. It was too much of a coincidence to meet such an intimidating woman in the Far Frontier. If her aura and looks matched, his new idea would be off the table…

Hmm, I need to confirm.

With a glint in his eye and a resolute heart, Yenir moved a bit closer to Blood Yinger, ignoring Tang Hai’s shocked gaze.

There was one spot he knew all too well! After all, he had once exhausted himself with that madwoman until she broke down! Just one look would confirm if she was truly the Blood Wolf Leader!

Moreover, the moment he spoke, that madwoman would surely lose control of her emotions.

The only risk was that she might lash out immediately.

But it didn’t matter—whether she was the Blood Wolf Leader or just Blood Yinger, Yenir was convinced neither could truly threaten him. After all, he was no longer that Second-Stage who couldn’t even break through a mere membrane!

In a decisive moment, Yenir stretched out both hands and, with a sharp smack, pressed down on Blood Yinger’s smooth thigh. With sudden force, he pulled apart her raised legs, all under her stunned gaze.

In that very instant, a warm, silky sensation surged through his palm, revealing a familiar pattern that he knew all too well.

It was that very mark!

Overjoyed, Yenir’s heart soared—he was convinced!

He could confidently claim that no one knew that mark better than he did! This Blood Yinger was none other than the Blood Wolf Leader!

Meanwhile, Tang Hai watched Yenir’s back in horror. Even with his view partially blocked, he realized exactly what Yenir was doing.

Holy crap!?

Holy crap!?

Has this kid gone mad?! What on earth is he doing?!

No longer admiring Yenir’s boldness, Tang Hai’s face turned ashen; he could already imagine the seething anger from Blood Yinger after such public humiliation!

It was over—this was the end!
