Chapter 119: Caught Her With Another Man (1)

She made her way toward him, a plan already brewing in her head as she pulled out one needle from her hair. It silvered under the light before it vanished within her clenched hand.

Styx was completely enthralled by the courtesans, throwing his head back and laughing as if he hadn’t let loose in an entire year.

"What is this?"

Aisha heard the courtesan on his right ask him a question, her finger tracing the bracelet Styx wore. Aisha’s eyes were instantly drawn to it.

Anger rose within her faster than she could hold it in. The bracelet was something she had seen on Zenick before they parted ways. It could’ve been a replica as well. But Aisha knew that the bracelet was the same one that she had given him in her memory. And that was before Zenick had left for another star system.

He had told her in his messages how much he adored it, so much that he didn’t dare take it off even when he took a shower. Zenick treated it like a trophy he had received from a prestigious award.

But that bracelet had ended up in someone else’s hand.

Aisha felt her spiritual beast close now. Nibbles had somehow grabbed onto her pants and crawled into her pocket. The inside of her pocket felt heavier than it was just now. Nibbles had dumped the storage bag it had swallowed inside its body. The weapons the guards did not find on her person were now within her reach.

There were only a couple of steps between her and Styx. He had no idea that a predator was stalking its way toward him.

Five more steps.

Four steps.

Three...

A soundless flick of her hand shot the needle toward the back of Styx’s neck, accurately piercing through his skin and hitting the nerve in his upper neck.

There were only two steps between them. The woman was still eagerly admiring the bracelet wrapped around his wrist, asking him how much it was.

But Styx couldn’t answer. His limbs and torso couldn’t move, not when the nerve in his upper neck had been blocked. His eyes helplessly turned left and right to get the courtesans’ attention, but they were distracted by the expensive bracelet.

"Hng..."

A groan slipped past his lips as he tried to call for help. His mouth felt entirely stiff, forcing him to fight through the paralysis just to squeeze out a few strained words.

When the courtesans finally caught on the sound, they raised their eyes to look at him.

But then—

"Excuse me, ladies."

The two courtesans shifted their attention behind Styx, where an unfamiliar woman with a scarf covering the lower half of her face leaned casually against the back of his chair.

"I shall borrow this man from you."

Aisha looked at one of them.

"Who are you?" One courtesan with a voluptuous body frowned in displeasure.

Just as she was about to tell her to leave them alone, Aisha produced a small pouch of money. She told them, "Ten thousand star credits. Leave, and you can take it with you."

The two courtesans frowned, but one was far more perceptive than her companion. The thin courtesan snatched the pouch and peeked inside, a sharp gasp slipping past her lips when she discovered exactly ten thousand credits nestled within!

Holding the pouch of money, the thin courtesan happily smiled at Aisha. "We’ll leave him to you then."

"Wait—"

"Let’s go."

The voluptuous courtesan was dragged by her thin co-worker. Once they were gone from the hall, she asked, "Why did you do that?"

The thin courtesan laughed. "Why not? We got money for free, and we don’t have to roll in the sheets with him!"

The other courtesan frowned. "But—"

She felt the flow of power rock through her, spilling through her hand again. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
