Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Telling a Story

At that moment, Lotus Spencer opened a shielding formation that covered the entire pool within.

Not only that, Maureen Martin also activated a formation disk that looked like a formation on her body. With that, no leaks through conversation would occur here anymore.

Peter Brown remained silent, just watching them do all these things.

When the shielding formation and similar entities were all set up, a change came over the expression of these women, and the previous situation was no more.

Lotus Spencer then turned to Peter and said, "You might have too many questions about what we’re doing, right?"

"Indeed, I truly don’t understand your actions."

Cassi Mills then sighed, and said, "Here’s something that might surprise you. Our nation is about to be destroyed!"

Maureen Martin also sighed and said, "The fall of the nation won’t be much of an issue for those with power, but for people like us, it’s a disaster!"

Peter addressed them, "You all come from decent families."

Shaking her head, Maureen Martin replied, "You’re only seeing the surface glamour, how would you know the tribulations we bear behind closed doors!"

Summer Miller scoffed, "I’ve had enough, let everything come crashing down!"

Peter watched the women intently, perceiving their genuine feelings. He, however, still struggled to understand their thoughts. All he could do was to sip his wine while listening to their conversation.

Seeing Peter’s indifferent reaction, the five women suddenly felt stifled. With their charm, they could seduce any man effortlessly. Yet, despite their combined efforts, Peter remained utterly unfazed. They wondered, who was this man?

Taking a deep breath, Summer Miller downed her wine and said, "I am the niece of the County Governor, but in secret, I’ve become his woman!"

What?

Peter looked in surprise at this outspoken woman, unable to comprehend her revelation. He then glanced at the other four women. Their lack of surprise implied they must have known about Summer Miller’s situation all along.

However, the fact that the County Governor had crossed that line with his own niece astounded Peter.

Now Peter finally understood why they had put up two layers of shielding.

"Humph, my man was sent to the battlefield on our wedding day, and not long after, news of his death arrived. At first, I thought he died in battle, but later I found out he was assassinated by the Governor’s men instead."

Peter was further astounded.

Sighing, Summer Miller continued, "I guess you must have assumed I’ve always been this carefree, huh?"

Before Peter could reply, she went on, "Unfortunately, I woke up one day from being drunk, only to find the County Governor in my bed. Since then, I became his woman!"

After saying that, she downed another shot of wine.

The Cultivation World didn’t seem so righteous after all!

Peter shook his head.

"After that incident, I decided to relocate to the Ninth Division. Lucas Armstrong had a good relationship with my father. Under his protection, the County Governor didn’t dare to mess with me. I didn’t return to the mansion to live either. He could do nothing about me, but this initiated a grudge between him and Lucas."

"What about your parents?"

Peter asked.

"They’re dead, killed in war. The County Governor is not a good man, he sent them off to the battlefield!"

While saying this, Summer Miller burst into tears.

This incident!

Peter really didn’t know how to react. He never expected such occurrences.

Lotus Spencer heaved a sigh, "Do you know about my situation? I was originally a daughter of the Stone Family. However, the Stone Family is merely one of the secular families who have some wealth. Our wealth, compared to Cultivators, is like the difference between heaven and earth. I was initially expected to have a promising future but during one competition, Carl Webster from the Ninth Division took an interest in me and I was sent to the Ninth Division directly. I was even selected as a key person to be cultivated. At that time, I was very happy, as was my whole family."

Peter gave a bitter smile, conceding that the outcome was just as tragic, wasn’t it?

As expected, Lotus Spencer spoke, "One day, Carl Webster got me drunk and then slept with me. In order not to let people know what he did, he actually married me to his son. My family was overjoyed thinking I had become a woman of the Woods Family and would have a beautiful future. Little did they know, Carl Webster’s son was an incompetent man who was sent to the frontline a long time ago and whom the Woods Family had long given up on. So you see, I have become a woman whom Carl Webster can sleep with as and when he pleases!"

Damn it!

Peter was at a loss for words. He never expected such tragedies.

Maureen Martin spoke, "I see there’s no need for me to elaborate. Being the tenth concubine of the Grand Steward of the Trading Market, I was forced into the position. There was no future for me in my home, so I put my mind to getting into this Alchemy Department."

Peter then turned his gaze towards Cassi Mills. He had always been vigilant around this woman.

Cassi Mills gave a bitter smile and looked at Peter, "I know you’ve always had grudges against the Nelson Family and been wary of me. But the truth is, I hate the Nelson family even more than you do!"

"Oh?"

Peter looked in confusion at this alluring woman who emanated temptation from her very core.

Cassi Mills said, "I am a daughter of the Johnson Family, which is a wealthy secular family. We are not poor, but as an illegitimate child, I was a tool for gaining the favor of strong Cultivators from the day I was born. From a young age, my family trained me to please men!"

As she said this, an air of sadness filled her expression.

"Maxine Nelson is a man worse than a pig or a dog. He took a liking to me, so he forced me to marry into the Nelson family, to a man of illegitimate birth. Shortly after the wedding, my husband became bedridden, and it was a situation where he couldn’t be cured. Then, Maxine Nelson came. He forced me, threatening that if I didn’t cooperate, he would eliminate the Johnson family. Then, I became his woman and was sent to the Ninth Division to help him get elixirs."

Having heard their stories, Peter was speechless. He had never imagined that these women, who seemed to lead glamorous lives, suffered such humiliations.

Peter activated his Dao affinity, integrating it with his Divine Sense and delving into their minds. Surprisingly, he found their genuine thoughts.

This is real!

After investigating for a while, Peter was even more puzzled. It turned out that everything they said was true. Their hearts were filled with hatred for their paternal clans.

Why would they disclose this to him?

Peter couldn’t figure it out.
