Chapter 417: Chapter 270: Following the Will of the Lord of Pleasure (2)

These days, Marquis Strachey had been indulging in the charms of the Enchanting Demon, so much so that he even neglected his own ladies and concubines, who were quite attractive and shapely themselves.

There was no helping it, the Enchanting Demon was just too skilled.

Her skin was so tender, and her figure, so graceful.

Her skills had made Strachey feel as if he were about to be drained dry.

The taste of the Enchanting Demon was truly great.

Strachey was a marquis in the Empire, and moreover, he was the kind that held real power. Although he was not responsible for commanding the frontlines, he was in charge of part of the military’s supply distribution for the Empire. This position was extremely important. Once it was discovered that he had secretly kept an Enchanting Demon, it would immediately become an excuse for other nobles to impeach him.

This was exactly why Strachey had always been extremely cautious, even going so far as to find an opportunity to kill all the mercenaries afterward. He thought his actions were impeccable and that no one could know his secret. How did Mr. Brave know?

For a moment, Strachey felt a storm surge in his heart.

Qin Chu merely smiled and patted Strachey’s shoulder, not saying much more, but the implication was clear, "You don’t want the affair of secretly keeping an Enchanting Demon getting out, do you?"

This was Mr. Brave’s threat.

In the first week, Qin Chu had dedicated his first few years to intensive training, with his rest periods spent reading newspapers to catch up on what new events had unfolded recently.

And newspapers on Sky Dome Continent mostly recorded the trivial news. Qin Chu just read it casually, laughing it off and moving on, who could have imagined that it would come in handy now.

Two months later, this esteemed marquis would be exposed for having secretly harbored an Enchanting Demon for half a year, thus losing his lucrative position.

Strachey’s lips paled, quivering, and suddenly, he shifted his stance:

"Although they are two filthy demons, I believe that under the guidance of Mr. Brave’s high moral standards, they will definitely be set on the right path, so I think accepting them isn’t out of the question,"

"Moreover, this Snow Woman and Blood Elf helped Mr. Brave in vanquishing Second Prince Edrich of Demons, they have completely broken with their kind, and as humans, I feel we should show the tolerance inherent to our nature."

Holy shit!

This sudden change in attitude left a crowd of nobles dumbfounded.

Had Strachey lost his mind?

When everyone was discussing it privately earlier, you clearly stated that you would definitely clear the demons away from Mr. Brave’s side; why the sudden change?

Everyone present was no fool.

It was clear to everyone that Strachey was obviously caught by Mr. Brave.

For a moment, none of the surrounding nobles spoke out.

This Mr. Brave, he is no simple man.

There was a profound silence around.

The many nobles were all internally assessing whether they had any secrets that Mr. Brave might hold against them.

After a long while, a middle-aged man quietly coughed, about to speak, when Qin Chu suddenly flashed the man a smile.

The man’s heart skipped a beat, and before he could speak, Qin Chu walked over to the middle-aged man: "This must be Count Broer, right?"

He hadn’t planned to use that terrible sentence construction, but the words slipped out of his mouth anyway...

"Count Broer, you wouldn’t want your wife to find out about your affair with the Holy Court nun, would you?"

Qin Chu was very careful with his words, almost using magic power to send them into the other man’s ears.

Apart from Broer, even the nobles sitting nearby could not hear it.

Instantly, Broer’s complexion went pale.

At that moment, the way he looked at Qin Chu was as if he were looking at a devil.

Broer’s status was rather special; he was merely a small baron, his lady being the only daughter of an earl, and Broer had married into the family. Following the old earl’s death, the title had temporarily fallen into Broer’s hands, but the actual rights of succession still lay with his wife.

So while it was normal for any earl to have three or five lovers, Broer could not afford such a thing. Once his wife found out, he would be immediately thrown out, and certainly stripped of his earldom.

Every time he had an affair with the nun, he was extremely cautious, fearing discovery. How on earth had Qin Chu come to know of this?

How could Broer know that, in half a year, his name would appear on the front page headlines of scandal newspapers—Earl Broer caught in an adulterous affair with a nun for a year, ousted from the family...

After a brief silence, Broer suddenly flashed a smile: "Gentlemen, I too agree with Marquis Strachey’s idea; Mr. Brave’s character is so noble, like a bright moon hanging in the sky, its light so brilliant. I believe even demons would be purified by the light of Mr. Brave."

Hisss...

With this remark, everyone was stunned.

If one were coincidence, now with Broer also acting this way, everyone present believed Mr. Brave must be holding some secrets.

And these secrets were of great importance to each nobel.

Instantly, the room fell silent, each one tightly closing their mouths, fearing they might become Mr. Brave’s next target, after all, who among them didn’t have some skeletons in their closet, and some things, once leaked, could cause great trouble.

Wozworth, Saint Monica, and Augustus, the three old sly ones, didn’t utter a word either.

If you’re all not speaking, then let me do it!
