Captured

The man instantly stopped and turned towards the door.

Nolan also raised his head to see the person from which the pleasant voice came.

Ten muscular men stormed inside, entering through the wooden door one by one, surrounding Nolan. Finn was between the group of people who surrounded Nolan.

Then through the door entered a woman.

Just seeing the woman, Nolan's heart raced, and his face blushed.

She had a gorgeous body and clear jade-like skin. She wore a red stewed dress. With just a glance, you could tell it was made out of silk.

The dress revealed a little of her large chest, making her even more irresistible. She wore long red leather boots which only added more beauty to her long snow-white legs.

She didn't only have a gorgeous body but also an angelic face with a mole on her right cheek and long black hair.

"Beauty, this is our first meeting," Nolan spoke first. "Since it is our first meeting, as a gift, I will remove the curse from those two idiots." He snapped his fingers, and the two unconscious men woke up.

It's not like he was a sorcerer. He just saw the two men gaining consciousness before anyone else, so he took the opportunity.

The jaws of everyone in the room dropped.

The woman couldn't believe what she saw, but she quickly regained her composure. After all, even if he knew sorcery and could curse people he was still chained, in her hands.

A gentle smile spread across her face. "Thank you, little brother. I appreciate it." She said gently.

'Man, she looks really hot in this ancient stewed dress.' Nolan thought.

"Can you free me?" He asked.

"That depends." She walked over to him.

"Boss!" The men surrounding Nolan shouted simultaneously.

The woman raised her hand. "It's okay. This little brother wouldn't hurt a beautiful woman like me." She bent on one knee before Nolan.

She placed her index finger on Nolan's throat and slowly glided it up until it reached Nolan's mouth and stopped there. "Little brother, are you willing to work for me?" She placed her knee between his legs and slowly touched his private part with it.

Nolan gulped a mouthful of saliva.

He could see her large brea.sts threatening to leave the dress. From this close, he could even smell her sweet body scent.

His little brother instantly woke up from his deep slumber.

He felt dizzy and could feel his face and ears on fire.

"It's my honor to work for you." He said almost unconsciously.

Hearing the answer, the woman immediately raised. "Remove the chains." She said as she walked towards the wooden door. Before leaving the building, she turned and said. "Little brother, I'll wait for you in my room tonight." She winked at him seductively and left.

Nolan stared at her big a.ss.

He couldn't help but imagine her naked.

Of course, he was not so stupid to lose himself staring at her body. At the last moment, he used [Inspect].

[Name: Rosalia Calvus]

[Age: 24 years, 11 months, 13days]

[Personality: Cruel, Manipulative woman]

[Occupation: Daughter of a noble, Boss of an underground group]

[Martial arts: Very good Knifemanship]

[Strength: 22]

[Stamina:20]

[Agility: 26]

[Description: She built a powerful underground organization using her body. She doesn't mind selling her body to get what she desires]

"Beggar, you are lucky. The boss has taken a liking to you." Finn said as he unlocked the padlock off the chains, setting him free. "Here, take this." He threw a silver tael at Nolan. "Clean yourself and buy some clothes."

Everyone then left the building and left Nolan alone.

He took the silver tael and slowly stood up. He could barely move because he still didn't recover from the electroshock. Also, he felt terrible pain in his right shoulder. Every time he moved his right hand, he felt like someone stabbed a knife in his shoulder.

Using his left hand he wiped the blood from his face with the sleeve of the old clothes and left the building.

Leaving the wooden building, Nolan found himself on a busy street. Ninety percent of the people on the street were muscular gorilla-like men.

'This must be the street where their group lives.' Nolan thought as he walked over to one stall selling jewelry.

Though the muscular salesman saw Nolan's clothes, he didn't say anything.

'Looks like they've been told about me.' Nolan threw a quick glance at the pieces of jewelry exhibited on the stall.

"Give me this hairpin." Nolan pointed at a simple, white jade hairpin.

The salesman took it and passed it to Nolan.

"How much is it?" Nolan asked, clenching the silver tael in his left hand. He tried to move his right hand as little as possible. If possible, not to even move it.

"Get lost!" The salesman shouted. He gave off a vibe that he could jump at Nolan at any moment.

Nolan didn't complain and quickly distanced himself from the stall.

'System, how long will it take till I recover?' He asked in his mind.

[The electroshock has left no impact on the host]

[The host can't move well because of the pain your body has gone through]

[It will take 3 to 4 hours for the host's body to function as normal]

[Though the host's shoulder was put back in place, it would take at least three weeks for the host's shoulder to completely heal]

[The system suggests finding a way to require more allocation points]

'Is it possible that whenever I add allocation point to one of my stats, my body recovers from any injuries it previously had? Or does that happen when I level up?

[Of course not. With every allocation point the host adds to his stats, the body strengthens, and due to this, the host can better tolerate pain]

[But even if the host's body strengthen, it would still take a week for the host's shoulder to heal completely]

'I see.'

Nolan stored the silver tael in the inventory, together with the white jade hairpin, and continued moving through the street, searching for a stall selling clothes or footwear.

He quickly found a stall selling footwear, but the stall didn't have footwear even half as beautiful as his black leather boots. So he had to make do with brown leather boots.

When he asked for the price of the shoes, he got the same reply as before. To get lost.

Again, he didn't mind it.

After he got to a safe distance from the stall, he stored the boots in the inventory and continued searching for a stall selling clothes.

When he finally found a stall selling clothes, he was disappointed. No cloth exhibited on the stall could compare to his black silk hanfu.

'What did I expect? They probably robbed those clothes off someone.' Nolan thought as he picked a black hanfu. But just by looking at it, you could tell someone had already worn it dozens of times. And of course, it was not made out of silk.

However, he had no choice. He took the black hanfu and paid 150 copper coins.

They finally took money from him, and now he had 750 copper coins left from the silver tael.

When he paid for the hanfu, a sudden thought came to his mind. If this old, already worn hanfu cost 150 copper coins, how much did his new, made out of black silk cost? He didn't even want to imagine. His heart ached at the thought of how much money he left under the tree. Probably no less than a tael of silver.

He again distanced himself from the stall and stored the black hanfu in the inventory.

…

After half an hour of wandering through the street, Nolan finally found an inn.

The words "Old Man's Inn" had been engraved above the door. Also, from both sides above the door hung two red lanterns currently off.

The inn was a two-story building built with wood and stone.

Nolan entered the inn. He felt a little uneasy like he was doing something wrong, but he ignored this feeling.

Entering the inn, he found himself in a room full of wooden tables.

Many people sat on three-legged chairs, drinking and eating. The room was full of people, and they chatted happily, but when they saw Nolan, the chatter quickly quieted down.

The room became dead quiet.

Nolan noticed a fat person wearing a blue hanfu running towards him. Simply said, the man gave off a vibe of a rich person.

"Sir-sir." He said, panting as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with a luxurious-looking blue silk handkerchief. "Sir, this way." He stretched his hand toward a door on the wall opposite the entrance and led Nolan toward the door.

They entered the room behind the door. Inside was only a large half-moon table, a bookshelf behind the table, and stairs that led to the second floor.

Neatly placed on the table were an ink stone, brush, and paper.

The fat man rushed to the table and took the brush in hand. "Sir, what would you like to order?"

"I want to take a bath, and eat something," Nolan said.

The man dipped the brush in ink and wrote Nolan's order on the paper. "Sir, that would be 200 copper coins."

'So expensive!' Nolan thought, but he still took the money out of his sleeve and gave them to the fat man.

"Sir, the bath needs to be prepared. However, we do have a meal already prepared, so would you like to eat first?" The fat man asked as he hid the money in his sleeve.

"Actually, that would be great," Nolan replied. He had not eaten anything since yesterday, so he was starving.

They returned to the room where the people sat and ate. Previously, the moment Nolan left the room, the chatter had returned, but now, entering again, the chatter stopped again.

"Brothers, please be at ease and enjoy. This brother here has sworn loyalty to the boss. From today, he is one of us." The fat man spoke.

"Since the innkeeper said so, it must be true, Come, come, brothers, cheers!" A person raised his wooden mug full of beer. Quickly after, the chatter returned to the room.

"Layla!" The innkeeper shouted.

From the door on the right, a young girl came running.

"Yes, boss?" The girl asked. She had beautiful brown hair and a beautiful face. But she wore shabby white clothes and had tired eyes, obviously shadowing her beauty.

"Tell them to prepare some meat for this quest, then bring some wine and then go prepare a bath upstairs for this quest." Just as the innkeeper said this, the girl immediately rushed back to the door from where she previously came.

The innkeeper led Nolan to an empty table in the corner. "Friend, I still have some things to take care of, so excuse me." He left Nolan alone.

Nolan threw a quick glance all around. However, after the innkeeper's words, no one seemed to pay attention to him. As if they accepted him as one of their own.

'Tsk! Pretentious bastards, you think you are smart? Well, you will be surprised by what I will do to your dear boss tonight.' Nolan thought with a smirk on his face.

After a few minutes, Layla brought him a large wine jar and a bowl. After she left them on the table, she left hurriedly.

'I don't usually drink, but let's try this otherworldly wine.' Nolan thought as he took the wine jar and poured some wine into the bowl. He really wanted to try this wine that looked like the wine the characters in the manhuas enjoyed drinking.

He raised the bowl up to his nose, smelled the wine, and hesitantly took a sip.

His eyes widened in shock.

It was sweet. The wines on Earth couldn't compare to this wine. Of course, it was not as strong as the wines on Earth, so alcohol lovers would probably not like it. But a non-alcohol lover like Nolan- he liked it.

An evil smile spread across his face as a thought popped into his mind, but before anyone could notice his evil smile, he hid it away.

Soon, two plates of food arrived. A piece of meat and three soft, steamed buns. Just the smell of the hot dishes made Nolan salivate.

He dug in the food. This was the first more expensive food he had in this world, so he ate as he had never seen food before.

Eating like a wild animal, he quickly devoured the food.

Just as he finished the food, Layla came to his table.

"Sir, the bath is ready. Please follow me."
