YM778.TV Chapter 62: CHAPTER 61
With Fluffy\'s blunt response, Andrew dismissed the system for help with his problem and began to think. He had a lot of worries on his mind, it was not only the matter of whom to delegate the training of courtesans to but there was also a very important topic that he had not addressed yet.
Some time ago when he was under attack by Debos and his gang, Andrew understood the weaknesses of the Heavenly Palace. While it was true that he now had about 20 slave guards protecting the place, it still wasn\'t enough.
Although his guards weren\'t weak, this was compared to normal people, however, in front of true warriors, they were no different than the grass waiting to be cut.
Only Oliver was different. The man that Andrew met by chance in the slave house was much stronger than he thought, to the point of not knowing how powerful he is and because of that, Andrew had some peace of mind.
However, his problem was not necessarily the safety of the Heavenly Palace, because with Oliver there, unless a warrior powerhouse attacked, it would be difficult to suffer any mishap. What Andrew was considering was the inefficiency of an information network.
It can be said that there is not a single successful business that does not have some informants, spies, and even assassins checking all the corners of interest to their bosses and in the red light district of a capital city like Catnar, not having these people could be more dangerous than being attacked by bandits.
The previous attack suffered by Debos was the proof. Andrew only found out about the mastermind after it was all over, which always made him defensive and uncomfortable and it was all because he didn\'t have an information network.
The point was that this problem was not so easy to solve, since an information network needed two things, stealth and loyalty. Andrew as a new player in the city did not have people who had those two characteristics, and that most of his employees were slaves was the proof.
Thinking of the slaves an idea came to his mind. "Why not look for slaves with those qualities?" It certainly wasn\'t the best move, but it was possible. There weren\'t many slaves with such useful skills in stealth, intelligence gathering, and assassination, but he didn\'t have a better idea.
The problem was that even if a slave with those abilities existed, it would be difficult to identify it. Spies and assassins were difficult to get into slavery. If they are discovered they are killed on the spot, no one would capture an infiltrated spy or assassin and turn him into a slave because even in those circumstances they were a threat.
Understanding all that, Andrew asked Fluffy again, "Is there a way to see people\'s skills and abilities?", Fluffy remained silent for a few seconds, and as if he had found the way he said, "Actually, there is".
Andrew was instantly glad because, with a skill like that, it wouldn\'t be a problem to start collecting talented people to form his empire, and before he could ask, Fluffy began to explain the implications.
"Master, this is not a special ability. Every god can see to some extent the strengths and weaknesses of mortals it will be more powerful when judging its element, as in your case everything related to sex, eroticism, and even love, but I think you get the idea#.
Andrew nodded his head in understanding and Fluffy continued, "The problem is that it will be quite expensive. Your Eros eyes are your solution, if you upgrade it 2 times, you will be able to get the ability you want to a certain degree."
The young man fell into deep thought. He knew how special the ability of the eyes of Eros was, because Fluffy told him so repeatedly, although he did not believe him, because to date it had not given him many benefits, but it was expensive, however, now Fluffy told him that it was what he needed.
Andrew didn\'t dwell on his thoughts for long, knowing that Fluffy would not harm him in any way, so he asked, "How much would it be?" Fluffy was silent for a moment like calculating value and said, "The first improvement would be 1 million points, but the second would be 3 million".
Despite the large amount, Andrew was not surprised, as he expected a similar amount he thought it was not that expensive, in the end, he knew that his Eros\'s eyes were one of his most powerful abilities, so it would also be the most expensive.
Make no mistake, he always knew that it was one of his most powerful skills, the reason for his distrust towards this skill was that it had been upgraded several times, but the improvements or benefits are not very impressive, that\'s why he didn\'t like that skill very much, but now it seemed that he would have no choice but to spend on it.
Taking the decision, Andrew spoke, "Fluffy improves the Eyes of Eros skill". Fluffy didn\'t take long and within seconds, the ability had improved. Andrew didn\'t feel any different and when he wrinkled his brow, Fluffy spoke, "Master, with this upgrade you can evaluate the emotion towards you and the beauties of special level".
"Just that?", Andrew asked a little disappointed and Fluffy replied, "For the moment yes master, but don\'t get depressed...", Fluffy strangely stopped his words, causing Andrew to be surprised.
When Andrew wanted to speak again, Fluffy said, "With this latest skill upgrade you\'ve come full circle." Fluffy\'s comment further confused Andrew, so Fluffy explained.
It turns out that Eros\'s eye ability with the next upgrade would undergo some kind of evolution. It wasn\'t something like that, it was more like an unlock. What happens is that the eyes of Eros are powerful just like the eyes of the other gods, that\'s why they are blocked with the need for many improvements for the god candidates or they could create problems in the mortal worlds.
In other words, the next improvement of this ability would be different from the previous ones, it would be like going from a basic version to an intermediate one. According to Fluffy, the changes were not small, but he also warned him that, from that point, improving this ability either would be cheap.
Although Andrew understood what Fluffy was saying, he didn\'t care. He was excited and curious to know that it would bring him the new upgrade, but first, he had to earn the 3 million points he needed.
Andrew dismissed Fluffy and left the office. He walked to the reception and asked Victor, "How were the reactions to the new prices?" Victor responded instantly, "The young master shouldn\'t worry, the regular customers didn\'t complain, because they know the level of service, in fact, they already expected it".
After a short pause, Víctor continued by saying, "As for the new customers, despite there being some dissatisfaction due to the high price, those who dared to try the service even left tips".
Andrew laughed when he heard Victor. He knew how good his courtesans were and he was not surprised by what Victor told him that happened, but even so it was still funny.
Walking away from the reception he reached the store and using his synthesis ability he completed the vitality drinks, birth control pills, and rejuvenating creams of the day, as he had neglected this task for two days in a row and soon the first batch would have to be delivered for sale.
When finished he returned to the office. There he found Carolina sitting on the sofa as usual and as he walked to his desk he said, "My love, the first batch for Johan is ready, you must send the notification so they can pick it up tomorrow. Besides, I think we now have enough for you to buy a desk for yourself, right?"
Carolina looked up and with a cold expression and a flat voice that annoyed Andrew, she said, "We\'re working hours, swim my love, please", then she returned to her account book.
Andrew stopped short. Carolina\'s attitude bothered him when she acted like that and although he knew that she started doing it because of him, he didn\'t tolerate it and that\'s why he decided to change that and walked up to her.
Feeling that Andrew was in front of her, Carolina looked up again to know his reason, but before she could say anything, her lips were sealed and when she tried to resist, all her movements were restricted.
She was upset and kicked like a fish out of water trying to escape Andrew\'s restraint, but to no avail. After several minutes of resistance, she had lost her strength, her breathing was a little rough and even a few drops of sweat could be seen on some parts of her body.
Seeing that she could not escape, she calmed down and Andrew, who was now embracing her from behind, realized, then he released the hand that covered the girl\'s mouth and she immediately asked with a cold and hostile tone, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Forcing you", Andrew answered just as seriously and then he felt Carolina\'s change of emotion thanks to the love seal. Before, when he restrained her, he could feel her anger through the seal, but he also understood that it was not a strong feeling, it was more like frustration, but after his comment, everything changed to fear.
Noticing that Andrew quickly explained, as he knew that Carolina had misunderstood him, "Honey, you misunderstood me, I won\'t force you to have sex, do you think I\'m that kind of person?"
Andrew\'s comment restored the composure of the frightened Carolina, after thinking about it, she also thought that Andrew would not force her, but understanding that, her eyebrows wrinkled and she asked with confusion, "So?"
Andrew laughed at the question and whispered in her ear, "Honey, I promise to behave myself during work, but drop that cold, flat attitude of yours, it bothers me."
Upon hearing it, Carolina was surprised and after a few seconds, she laughed so unbecoming of her character that now Andrew was surprised. Carolina noticed that Andrew had already let go of her restraint while she laughed, then she turned facing Andrew and holding his face with both hands, she kissed him tenderly for a few seconds and when she separated from him she said, "Okay".
