Planning his Revenge

Ardor immediately got to work. Lifting her with a princess carry that earned him a yelp from her, he carried her to his bed and made her lie down. She looked at him somewhat nervously; her earlier confidence was nowhere to be seen.

But instead of directly taking action like yesterday, Ardor activated Pleasure Fingers and massaged her sensitive areas.

"Ohhhhhhh!"

Jeanne covered her mouth with her hand. "What did you do?" She asked him in amazement and slight confusion.

Ardor raised her skirt and saw the new stain before she put it down in embarrassment. He also noticed his updated LPs value.

'Looks like it works better than expected,' he thought to himself. He gave her a predatory glare and said, "We have a long day ahead of us."

Jeanne gulped in both fear and expectation. She felt she'd never remain the same after going through his hands.

Ardor ensured her feelings turned real.

…

It was at dusk when Ardor finally took a break. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and stared at the masterpiece on his bed. With her limbs spread awkwardly, and with an expression of utmost bliss, Jeanne didn't look like your girl next door anymore.

Ardor took a quick shower and left to eat at The Silent Goat. He had last eaten dinner yesterday, and was literally starving. After an enormous meal, he used a toothpick in his private room and kept thinking about his next move.

'A gentleman can patiently wait for at least 10 years to have his perfect revenge. But I'm no gentleman. I can't be the wimp I always was!'

Unknowingly, since Ardor received the blessing, and fused with William's soul, miraculous transformations were taking place inside him, changing both his personality and behaviors.

He paid the bill, left for his house. Along the way, he didn't forget to check out a few useful trinkets.

[Item: Charming Dart

Effect: Charm beings of lower intellect and make them obey the user's commands for 1 hour. You can share their vision, but the duration of the charm will be halved.

Remarks: Incredibly useful if used correctly.

Cost: 1 LP]

Like a rich man, Ardor bought 10 of them at once and kept them in his pockets. His previous activities had left him with a bigger balance. Even with the current purchase, he still considered himself a rich man.

[Lust Points: 180

Logs:

Base LPs: 100

Purchased Pleasure Fingers: -10

Daily Mission with Jeanne: +100

Purchased 10x Charming Dart: -10]

Ardor remembered how he had initially planned to get stronger today, but completed all his daily missions.

'What a shame that Shop doesn't have any martial arts manual. I guess I'll have to first focus on getting a talent. Is it even possible? Getting stronger and taking proper revenge will still take time. How about I first leave him a great present?' he thought, grinning maliciously.

His dart throwing skills were still passable, thanks to his years of playing the sport on the wall in his bedroom as William, while his classmates were busy partying in bars and getting laid.

Even though the Charming Darts were tiny, he only missed once. But before he could retrieve it, the target, a dog, stepped on it and broke the delicate dart to pieces. Of course, Ardor took revenge by hitting it on its butt almost immediately.

He walked past the Stone's estate while charming some birds and some small animals like rats. His minion army was soon ready and began the infiltration!

Ardor gave them explicit instructions and put the mental image of Edgar in their mind. They flew, burrowed, ran, and used many methods and finally found his location.

'So fast! It's only been 15 minutes!' Ardor smiled with content. 'Let's see what you're up to.'

He leaned on the sidewall, and his vision immediately synced with a small sparrow. It obeyed his command and flew closer and took a sneak peek from the gaps in the rooftop.

The bird's vision wasn't the best, but Ardor identified his enemy's features almost instantly. He was lying on a mattress, and was doing adult activities with two ladies, one young, and another older one.

'Wow! I wonder what Isabella would feel after seeing this.' he thought. But he didn't feel any pity for the woman who nearly killed him.

Soon, the adult action film ended as the actors, at least the male one, was exhausted, and he waved his hands. The two women understood his message and professionally bowed to him, and reminded him to use their services again.

They wore their robes and left the door, and soon, the estate. Only young Edgar remained on the mattress, with remains of their activity on it. He tried to move, but soon fell back down and started snoring.

'Is this really the strength of a Peak Apprentice Warrior?' Ardor grew suspicious. Still, he would not let go of this wonderful chance. He retrieved another dart from his pocket and kept it in a small glass tube, as even he was afraid of its effects.

[Item: Essence Bursting Dart

Effect: The essence of the target will uncontrollably begin leaving their body in unhealthy amounts. Using the proper dosage will incapacitate the target for a long time.

Remarks: How would you feel if you peed and, after your bladder was empty, blood clots started uncontrollably pouring out? Painful? This is about 10 times worse.

Cost: 33/66/99 LPs for the Beginner/Advanced/Peak Version]

Ardor had bought the Peak Essence Bursting Dart after spending 99 LPs. His heart once again hurt, but not as much as before. After all, he knew he could regain all of them with Jeanne's help in a day. Rather, he looked forward to seeing its results.

He summoned another sparrow to his side and carefully took the dart out of the glass bottle. After keeping it inside the sparrow's mouth, with its tip exposed to the air, Ardor watched the bird fly all the way to its other sparrow companion and drive into the room through the gap in the roof's corner.

Ardor had been looking in through a few small holes earlier, but now that his vision was synced with the sparrow carrying the lethal weapon, he got a closer look at the room's interior.

'Messy! I can't say anything else.'

He selectively forgot a bigger mess he had created earlier today and admonished Edgar in his mind. 'Young man, focus on getting stronger! Not chasing flowers like my wastrel cousins! But you're making my work easier like this.'

He knew this generation's Flame's were spoiled. None of them had any redeeming qualities except him!

As he was lost in thoughts about his new 'family,' the sparrow gently lowered itself above Edgar's muscular stomach. The bird faced down and opened its beak, and the dart immediately fell on his exposed belly, poking him and eliciting a reaction.

The sleepy man must have thought it was a mosquito, as he hit his stomach, driving the dart deeper.

"Ouch!" he woke up with a start to find some blood on his hands, and a tiny metallic object lodged in his stomach.

"Assassin!" he screamed as he looked around the empty room!

The pink fluid inside the dart entered his stomach, turned into a gaseous, ethereal state and somehow divided itself into three portions. A part of it went to his heart, and another went to his family jewels while the last one formed a thin imperceptible layer covering his body.

By this time, Ardor had already begun walking, and left the range of the Stone's estate. Still, he kept the first sparrow perched on the rooftop and was eager to see the effects of his lethal weapon.

Many men in black entered from the four doors of the room, and while most stayed to guard the young master, a few went and informed other members of the family while also inviting their family doctor.

"You fools! How could you let someone in? What if I died? Won't your heads roll off by then? You're all idiots! You good for nothings! Chase them! Hunt them down! I want to know who did this!"

The men in black lowered their heads and stayed silent. Their faces were expressionless, and their eyes were devoid of emotions.

Edgar curled his lips after seeing a lack of response and before he could curse them further, an old man with a white gown arrived at the doorstep.

Edgar controlled his haughty attitude, while the old man carefully took out the metal dart while bandaging his wound after applying a herbal paste.

All this while, the men in black guarded the surroundings. 'Death Warriors.' Ardor narrowed his eyes. He had heard of them before; people bred with inhuman training methods, who worked as loyal assassins and emotionless warriors.

'They're a fearsome bunch.' he thought. He knew every noble family had them, as it was a symbol of status and power. While each family used different ways to train them, the common aspect was that it was an inhuman method.

"Young master should feel fine now. It's just a small metal dart that pierced you. You'll completely recover in a few days," the old man said after his treatment was done.

Just as he was about to leave, the pink gas covering Edgar's heart sank inside it, stimulating it and making it go into overdrive.
