Perry's dilemma

"Excuse me, but what does that have to do with me?" Reckless pondered as he kept his hands in his pockets.

Soon, it was Farrel's turn, and after he was done, he patted Reckless's arm, shaking his head, a hint of regret on his face. "If we were to meet again soon, little friend, I will surely tell you many exclusive stories."

Reckless raised an eyebrow and sighed as he stepped forward.

The registrar, a young man in his late twenties or early thirties, with large eyes, a bulky figure, and a head full of dark brown hair, impatiently looked at Reckless, his thick eyebrows reflecting his impatience as he asked in his gruff voice.

"Name?"

"Reckless."

"Age?"

"16."

"Are you awakened or not?"

"I am awakened."

The man's hand paused as he observed Reckless, then he shook his head and retrieved a key from the drawer beside his chair, waving his hand.

"Leave."

Reckless stepped out of line and decided to wait for the siblings on the side, resting his head against the wall while he observed the people in line, feeling a sense of boredom creeping in.

He coincidentally made eye contact with a girl who was looking at him; she quickly averted her gaze, her cheeks flushing.

"What?"

Reckless didn't pay her any further attention, but as he glanced towards the front of the line, he saw the registrar wearing a lewd smile as he attempted to touch Rhea's hand, which was resting on her brother's shoulder.

He noticed her taking a step back, while the man sneered and reached out once more.

Reckless's brow furrowed, and he marched forward, his tone now icy. "What is going on here?"

Rhea's face displayed a hint of relief while the man's face turned sour as he stood up and growled at him.

"Is she your girlfriend, you bastard?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Then why are you preventing me from approaching her?"

"Is she willing?" Reckless calmly inquired.

"What?" The man obviously didn't understand what he meant.

Reckless didn't bother to explain himself and simply said, "How about you give her the key?" His gaze scanned the remaining people still waiting to be registered, and he added, "There are many people waiting, after all."

The people in the vicinity nodded; the commotion had already escalated, and everyone craned their necks to see what was happening at the front.

The man didn't acknowledge them and exited from behind his desk, arrogance evident on his face, his hand on his waists as he walked forward, towering over Reckless, his expression full of confidence.

"What do they have to do with me?" He sneered, addressing the gathered crowd. "See, all of you, if this woman doesn't let me touch her, I will throw you all out to the wild, where zombies and beasts will gnaw on your flesh and suck your blood."

Silence fell, with Rhea's face paling. The people behind them were also obviously stunned.

Although they didn't condone the man's actions, they knew they could only escape their previous hellish situation thanks to his master. To find refuge in this new haven, they had to placate him and obey his whims, regardless of how absurd they might be.

Their gazes pleaded with Rhea.

Reckless found this outrageously unacceptable. His expression grew several degrees colder, and he overheard an old woman with a wrinkled face and a walking stick say.

"Young lady, please reconsider. Think of yourself, your younger brother, and all of us. We elderly people have been standing here for an hour, and our backs and legs ache. Why don't you... consider the officer's offer? Look, he's a handsome man and an awakened as well. You wouldn't lose out."

Rhea's hands clenched tightly, her face cold, her pupils dilating.

Seeing this, the old woman who had spoken added, "Don't be so stubborn, young lady. It's not as if he's asking you to sleep with him, so what's so difficult?"

"Yes, yes."

"True, very simple."

The others chimed in softly, their eyes lowered, feeling the pressure of the two figures and burdened by their own conscience.

Not far away, on a building overlooking the registration room, sat two captivating women, guarded by two individuals. Their eyes were devoid of emotion, making it impossible to discern their thoughts.

One of them was Ethereal, and the other her cousin, Metis.

They watched the standoff among the people. Suddenly, Metis broke into a mischievous grin, causing Perry, who had escorted Reckless and the others earlier, to gaze at her blankly, his eyes filled with adoration.

Ethereal's right-hand woman, Ruby, promptly nudged Perry to caution him. Perry met her gaze, nodded, and turned his eyes away.

Metis was known to be someone not to be trifled with. Even the clan leader held her in great fear.

One word could aptly describe her – twisted. She might smile and laugh with you, but she could kill you without hesitation. To her, human lives were like stones to be discarded at will.

She was genuinely beautiful and was, in fact, a succubus. She made no effort to conceal this. With long, cascading green hair, sparkling emerald eyes, a classically oval face, and inviting pink lips, she seemed to be the embodiment of beauty.

While she appeared gentle, those who knew her understood that beneath her beautiful exterior lay a dark heart. She bore a striking resemblance to Ethereal, with a similarity of nearly 90%, often leading people to mistake them for twins if not for their age difference.

Metis provocatively turned her attention to Perry, her lips puckering into an alluring smile.

"Perry, my man, what's your take on this charade? Will that beauty allow my cousin's man to touch her, or will she lash out? Tell me... your opinion."

Perry was momentarily shocked when his name was called, but he quickly regained his composure and stammered.

"This woman will definitely let him."

He didn't notice the meaningful gazes directed at him as he continued.

"After all, women tend to yield to persuasion. They would do what he says because, at this moment, he's like a god to them."

"After all, women tend to yield to persuasion. Hehe" Metis chuckled as she stood up, her ample chest swaying beneath her black one-piece dress. She winked at Perry and asked, tilting her head to show off her fair neck.

"Shall we place a bet on it?"

"A-a bet on what?" Perry stammered.

"Stop playing around, Met," said Ethereal from the side.

"Cousin..." Metis whined, her eyes reddening instantly as she rubbed them, her voice laced with hurt. "You... don't love me anymore."

Ethereal sighed, her gaze filled with tenderness as she looked at her cousin, who had lost her parents at the age of three. From then on, Metis had stuck to Ethereal like gum, even when others were present.

At that time, Metis was simply adorable and could capture everyone's attention with her every move. In fact, if other family members were around, the mere sight of Metis frowning would throw them into disarray. Such was the degree of their affection for her.

"Alright, do as you wish," Ethereal relented, waving her hand.

Metis immediately brightened, her large emerald-like eyes sparkling. "Sister, you're the best!"

Then she turned back to Perry, who was now drenched in sweat, now realizing that he had unknowingly dug himself a pit. She continued sweetly, "So, let's make the bet interesting. If the girl agrees to let the man touch her, I will suck your c*ck, and if she refuses, I will cut it. Fair, isn't it?"

"Uh?" Perry was flabbergasted as he observed Metis's face. She still seemed to be smiling, so he thought she might be joking. However, when she said:

"What do you think?"

Sweat began to bead on his forehead as he replied carefully, "Lady Metis, isn't that bet... a bit too much?"

"What's too much?" She asked, puzzled.

"Well, I mean, cutting my... you know."

"What?" Suddenly, Metis appeared hurt as she clutched her chest, her lips trembling, and her eyes reddened. "Are you saying that my... cock sucking skill is not good enough to be wagered against? Uh?"

Ironically, the more she emphasized it, the more Perry wished to back out.

In reality, Metis's offer was already considered highly enticing. After all, she was the Number 1 beauty in the Windfall Clan and was cherished by almost everyone. She was akin to princess in the eyes of her family and a goddess in the eyes of men.

To have her suck him would make him the envy of others, and he'd be considered the luckiest man alive. Perry could already envision it.

However, he wasn't a fool that think solely with his cock only. Pleasure often came with consequences. If he lost the bet, he'd never be able to consider himself a man again. He would never be able to mount a woman again, and he'd never have the opportunity to reproduce ever again.

So, was it worth it?
