Chapter 50: Saturday Night

Early Saturday morning, Klein, dressed in his pajamas, rubbed his head and turned over to get out of bed.

He had not slept well at all last night, because whenever he dreamed, different female figures inevitably appeared in a chaotic mess. Then he would be frightened awake and have to spend several minutes calming his emotions before falling asleep again.

Fortunately, the weakness only lasts six hours. And in the middle of the night, I don’t need to go out or face the maids…

Klein sighed as he pulled the cord beside the bed. Richardson, waiting outside, immediately entered with the clothes his employer needed to wear that day.

I wonder what Arrodes said. Richardson has become more and more evasive when facing me… Did it hit the mark about the type of woman he likes, and that type conflicts somewhat with social customs?

When Klein had returned in time, he had only heard the Magic Mirror’s words that seemed to describe himself but were in fact accurately stabbing into Butler Walter’s heart. He knew nothing about what had come before.

Afterward, he had not used dream divination to obtain the corresponding information, because he felt there was no need. With Richardson’s personality, no matter whom he liked, he would not have the courage to act, and no additional effects would arise.

After changing clothes, Klein went down to the second floor and walked toward the dining room. Walter, as always, wore white gloves and stood at the door waiting.

Seeing Dawn Dantes approach, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

“Good morning, sir. Today, you have two tutoring lessons, and tonight you are to attend a dinner at Mr. Portland Moment’s home.”

Portland Moment lived at 100 Böklund Street. He was a full professor in the Engineering Department of Backlund University and a fellow of the Loen Kingdom’s Royal Academy. Because he had discovered several alloy materials, he had received the Light of Machinery award, placing him among the scientific community’s second tier, below only figures such as Turani von Helmosuin.

Moreover, those alloy materials had been widely used in shipbuilding and steam engine development. Patent income alone had made him a wealthy man worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Hearing Walter’s words, Klein casually glanced at him and discovered that the butler’s eye circles were rather dark and his lower eyelids somewhat swollen. He was entirely different from usual, as if he had not slept well all night.

If not for the Faceless ability, Dawn Dantes would probably look the same…

Klein withdrew his gaze sympathetically and said nothing more. He gave a light nod in response to Butler Walter’s greeting, then entered the dining room.

To be honest, he truly admired the man. Facing a Witch so often, Walter had only been unable to stop himself from having fantasies, and from dreaming certain heated dreams involving the target in the silent depths of night. He had not lost control, nor had he been unable to stop himself from drawing closer and seeking pleasure.

One had to know that the allure a Witch—especially one currently experiencing or who had already experienced the Pleasure stage—held over male creatures far surpassed simple Beyonder effects. Every charm in her movements would cause nearby men to slowly sink and become infatuated beyond their control. It was the equivalent of developing from cannabis to a more advanced stage, until they could no longer break away from the pleasure the Witch gave. Perhaps only men naturally attracted to the same sex could effectively resist.

Of course, Klein suspected that even men attracted to the same sex could not be completely immune, because both spirit and hormones would be affected, producing changes that would not have existed originally. Furthermore, a large portion of Witches had originally been men, which could lower psychological resistance.

Precisely because of this, even though he was already a Sequence 5 Beyonder, when…
