Inside a fairly extravagant restaurant, Dan could be seen inside a private box that he rented. Right now, as a celebration for his success, he planned on indulging in food and fine booze.

The restaurant that he dined at was the most expensive restaurant in the Merchant Town of Kalur. Only those who had deep pockets or backgrounds could enter this area.

After paying an initial deposit of a thousand gold coins, Dan was granted entrance and rented a private box where he could silently eat and contemplate about everything that happened to him this past month.

Indeed, he accomplished the job that the Servant George bestowed upon him in just one month. But the problem was, how was he supposed to contact the elusive Elder? He inwardly thought before placing a huge grape inside his mouth.

After experiencing the life in this world for these past months, Dan understood that the differences between cuisines in this world and Earth, vastly varied.

Not only were the ingredients here were more nutritious and delicious. They also have several varieties and there were even ingredients that only existed in this world, such as this huge grape that he was eating.

With these delicious dishes before him, Dan ate them all in one fell swoop. After that gruesome and painful cultivation session. He was confident that he could eat even an Elephant.

Staring at his right hand, a small smile lifted on his lips as he felt the immeasurable power coursing through his body. He was confident that now, though he couldn't defeat his wife when it comes to comprehension, he could defeat her in a battle of brute force.

After all, men were innately stronger than women.

Thinking about his wife, he became somewhat excited. A sense of anticipation surged through his mind as he thought about her reaction when she saw the progress that he made in just a single month.

"I bet she would endlessly interrogate me about it," He chuckled and shook his head before his mind flashed over at Juliet, "I wonder if she's okay...I really miss them now..." He lifted his head and stared, towards the skies, thinking about his family, a sense of longing and melancholy surfaced in his heart.

"Now that I think about it, how did I become so opportunistic?" His mind wandered about what happened several weeks ago, at that time, he didn't even think twice about reaping all the benefits like a fisherman. "Could it be that my current circumstances and the understanding that I knew about how this world works, pushed me to do such things?"

Ever since he arrived in this world and knew about the existence of Spiritual Qi. Dan understood that this world only respects the strong. If he didn't possess sufficient strength, it would be impossible for him to protect those he loved.

Shaking his head, he cleared all of his thoughts and focused about returning back at the Capital City. Standing up, he walked outside and explored the town. When he first arrived here, he didn't have that much time to enjoy the sights that the Merchant Town, offered.

Walking down the streets, Dan could see numerous hawkers along with their stalls. The commotion brought about by the bargaining buyers and the yells of the merchants in hopes of attracting customers, constantly echoed around him, giving him a strange sensation of tranquility.

Suddenly, an arm grabbed his arm as he turned around with a tensed expression. Staring at the person who caught his right arm, his eyebrows knitted when he found that it was a young girl whose expression looked teary and had a collar around her neck.

As someone who came from Earth, Dan didn't approve the notion of slave trades. Though he had to accept this world's rules and laws, he still couldn't accept how someone was easily deprived of their basic human rights and captured as a merchandise.

"Hey, she's here!" A masculine voice pierced through the crowd. Darting his gaze at the source of the voice, Dan could see a plump middle-aged man approaching his vicinity. When the crowd saw the fatty's figure, they respectfully smiled as the former shouted at Dan, "I am sorry that my merchandise here has soiled the young master's clothes," He scratched his head before bowing in apology.

When the fatty saw the luxurious clothes on Dan's body, he didn't dare to disrespect him for fear of the background behind the young man. As a precaution, he opted in acting respectfully and even bowed towards him.

"It's fine, It's fine, don't mind it," Dan waved his hand and stared right into the young woman's eyes that shone in a light of silent pleading and begging. She betted on the possibility that Dan may fancy her and using his background, she may be spared from the horrendous fate that will surely fall upon her.

Dan weighed the advantage and disadvantages if he was to fight for her from the fatty's hands, what would he get as a benefit? He thought and judged her using the System.

[Name: Grace Vermillion; Age: 17; Status: Slave]

[Stats: Str: 1, Int: 5, Dex: 1.3, Agi: 1.7, Sta: 2]

[For Reference, one stat point equals an average human's stat.]

[Cultivation: Mortal]

[System Evaluation: Not even worthy of a glance]

He frowned, apart from her having a beautiful visage and a gorgeous figure, what advantage could she possibly bring towards him? Shaking his head, his eyes flashed in disappointment as he stared right into the young woman's eyes before saying, "So this one is your merchandise? Come and take her from me, don't bother about the compensation for my stained clothes..."

The fatty's expression brightened, it was the first time that he met such a reasonable young master. Nodding his head in satisfaction, he walked forward as the young woman, Grace cowered in fear and tightened her grasp around Dan's arm.

Dan's countenance displayed his dissatisfaction. Though he didn't approve of the slave marker, that doesn't mean that he would go around like a good samaritan, saving slaves after slaves from their impending fate. Who knows how long that would take and those he saved would definitely be caught again, especially if they were mere mortals like Grace

Turning his body around, he easily escaped from Grace's clutch before pushing her towards the fatty. Grace's expression paled. With Dan's physique and cultivation, how could she object?

The fatty caught her and Grace's expression paled even further as she pleaded, "Sir, please help me, take me away and save me!" She stretched her hand out and Dan cupped his chin, "I do want to save you, but I do not need someone that could not possibly of use to me..."

His tone icy and cold as he outrightly rejected her pleading.

Gritting her teeth, her eyes flashed in a light of resolve, with her looks and figure, how could any young master endure? She was confident that with her next offer, this pretentious young master would definitely crumble.

"If you'll save me If you'll save me..." Her expression turned miserable as tears formed on her eyelids. Closing her eyes, she declared, "I will be your personal sex slave, ready to serve you day and night as your bedwarmer! I will do everything that you want me to do as long as you save me..."

She offered everything that she could but contrary to her expectations, Dan's visage turned even colder as he said, "Offering your body? That is indeed a tempting offer but I have to say no, I do not lack anyone who'll serve me and I don't think that you're even qualified for me..." Dan didn't bother about him anymore as he turned around and walked towards the opposite direction.

Grace's expression turned complicated when she first saw Dan walking among the crowd. Her eyes as a merchant told her that Dan had something special about him and she instinctively caught his arm.

Little did she knew that the lecherous young master that she expected him to be was someone that would remain unfazed despite the temptations before him. However, instead of feeling depressed and sorrowful. The light within her eyes ignited even further as she shouted her final offer,

"I can help you acquire wealth! A tremendous wealth that will make you the most powerful man in this world!"

Her scream made everyone around turn their heads towards her. Those who saw her desperate actions including the fatty could not help but mock her for her persistence, "Stop bluffing, I'd hate to tell you this but that young master is rich enough that he wouldn't even care about money in the first place..." The fatty shrugged and using his cultivation, he restrained and dragged her back at his establishment.

Dan's figure momentarily froze, though he didn't find that young woman's final offer as tempting because of the wealth that he currently possessed, he became interested in how she could exactly make him the most powerful man in this world.

With a light chuckle, he turned around and said, "Fine, since you're that desperate to be taken in, I do hope that you won't disappoint me..."
