I will show you

"Crash…"

"Damn it… one more plot twist" Hira was really frustrated.

What the hell is going on here… first his employee turns out to be an assassin from another territory, then they want to do human trafficking in this territory, now when he decides to tell the Baron about it… lo and behold… the baron is dead. 

…

Grace and Daniel looked at Hira amusedly.

"Cough… cough… The baron is dead? What do you mean by that?" He asked after calming himself down.

"It's exactly what I said, the baron is dead. And you can believe me because I killed him." 

"…" Hira almost cursed out loud. 

"You killed him? Why?" Hira asked. 

"You think that the trafficking has been happening for so long without the baron knowing?" Grace questioned back in response. 

"Well, that does sound unlikely. Are you saying he was in it?" Hira was a bit surprised. He used to think that the baron was a nice guy, as he took care of his people well, he also gave justice to Misty's shop, shouldn't such a guy be all goody two shoes? Why was he trafficking people of his own territory. 

"He was a hypocrite who used to look good to his people while doing atrocities behind their back." Grace replied. 

"Umm… so… when did the baron die?" Hira asked another important question. If the baron is dead, it shouldn't be that long or there might have been chaos in his territory. 

"He died the day I was married to him." Grace answered.

"…"

Forget what he was just thinking.

"Your marriage? You mean… one year ago?" Hira confirmed again. 

"That's right." Grace replied. 

"So, you have kept it a secret… for an entire year?" Hira asked. 

"Yes…" Grace's answer was short and to the point.

She had calmed down to her usual self, because she realized something, the way this young man was acting. He was a noob. Although there were chances that he was strong. But in the field of politics, he was dumb. 

She realized that the person she was facing was just an innocent common man who also happens to be strong. 

'I can deal with him' She thought. Because, there have been multiple occasions in which she has dealt with people much stronger than her. 

So, she waited patiently for his next move, as they came soon. 

"Umm… so… what do you think we should do now?" Hira asked. 

"… Why are you asking me? Don't you have some other plan, if the plan with the Baron fails?" Grace was a little flabbergasted, yeah, she thought he was new to politics, but she didn't know he was this new. And why was he asking a stranger about his moves. 

But she suddenly realized something… something that made her shudder. 

"I… what am I doing?" 

She realized that... she told so many of her best kept secrets to a person she had just met. 

"What… what did you do to me?" She questioned as she looked at Hira with horror. 

"…" 

'What happened to her all of a sudden?' Hira was confused 

Why would she go from all calm and graceful to frightened little girl?

"…" Grace realized as she looked into his eyes, this young man… even he didn't know what just happened.

"Haah… if you don't mind. Can I go back now?" Grace took a deep breath before asking. 

"Ah… sure… but Miss Grace… I think I would need your help to deal with those traffickers. Can you help me out with it please." Hira requested sincerely.

"…" Grace did not know what to think. This young man was too mysterious, he had the power to make her confess so many secrets, yet here he was asking for her help in order to save innocent people. 

"Sigh… I am not in the right state currently… If you don't mind, why don't you come to the baron's palace tomorrow. We can talk there. And don't worry, I have received information that the trafficking has been postponed, so you don't have to worry about people who have been kidnapped." Grace invited him to the Baron's palace. 

But after she said that, realization took a hit again as she realized, this is not something she would do.

"Umm… okay, thank you in advance then." Hira was also a bit surprised; it has not been long since he ordered Robert to delay the trafficking, and here, this lady already knew about it. 

"…" Grace looked at Hira for a second before taking her leave. 

"Alright then… see you." She said before glancing at Daniel who was serving another cup of tea to Hira, before she turned away and left.

…

After finishing his tea, Hira decided to leave as well. 

"Alright Daniel I will be leaving as well. Come to my shop tomorrow with a carriage, I don't want to be stopped by the guards again." He said before taking his leave as well.

…

Hira moved out of the gates, ignoring the guards saluting behind him. 

…

"I am back…" Hira said as he entered the Misty's shop.

"…" 

As he entered the shop, he realized something, all the employees were looking at him weirdly. 

"What happened, is something wrong?" He asked one of the employees. 

"Umm… Boss… It will be better if you talk to your wife." The employee replied. 

"…" Hira nodded before moving to Misty's office. 

"Hey… is something wrong." He answered as he entered the office.

"Hira… you are here. Something is really wrong." Rose shrieked as she looked at Hira.

Then she jumped and wrapped herself around him.

"Hey… what are you doing?" Misty annoyingly shouted from the back. 

"Save me from her wuu…" Rose cried as she enjoyed Hira's embrace. 

"Alright, alright… will you girls tell me what actually happened?" Hira asked as he rubbed Rose's back.

"And what happened to that table?" He said as he pointed at the office table that was currently broken in two. 

Looking at the table, he worried something bad might have happened, but he was happy that his women were not hurt.

"Mmm… It's Misty, she broke it." Rose said.

"Umm… what?" Hira was flabbergasted. 

He looked at Misty who was still looking at Rose who was clinging on him with annoyed eyes.

"Is that true?" He asked as he slowly put Rose down.

Misty finally smiled before replying.

"Yes… what do you think. I have suddenly become so strong. I feel so different right now." She said as she swung her fist here and there. 

'… System, mind telling me what's going on here.' 

[Replying to host, Madam Misty has entered into the world of cultivation, she has become a first stage body refiner, resulting in the increase in strength.]

'What…? How?' 

[Doing nightly activities with host increases the partner's combat level.] 

'… So, you mean she became a cultivator, because of having sex with me?'

[Yes]

'… Then why do I don't feel any different'

[Host does not gain anything through nightly activities.] 

'What…? Why is that? Shouldn't I also gain power, if they are? Do you want me to depend on my wives to save my ass?'

[…]

[System would like to play a recording from the creator, would the host like to listen?] 

'…' Hira was confused, where did the creator come from? Weren't they talking about his wife?

'Sure… go ahead, let's hear what this creator has to say?'

[… Hahaha… yes, they will get stronger. They will become much stronger as they spend their time with you. But what if they face someone stronger than themselves? Who will protect them?... Will you?... Hahaha… their company is the greatest blessing you will receive from me… But will you be able to keep them safe… that's for me to see…]

'…'

"Hehe…" Hira suddenly laughed. 

'So, you want to see if I can keep them safe?... Sure, sure… I will show you' Hira laughed as he got close to Misty and hugged her.
