Chapter 161
“Even though I also I knew how to create an illusion I am different from the rest of the fox clan I wanted to have a buff body”
Hearing his explanation old man Fresackio but he still asked curiously said “No matter how I look at you other than the fact you are extremely handsome and even my niece and nearly all the female members in the association have fallen for you, you still look like a human”
Shadowslash smiled before transforming in his fox-human form two fox ears and a tail appeared from his body
This time old man Fresackio finally believes that Shadowslash is from the fox clan
“Okay, I now believe that you are from the fox clan” Old man Fresackio just shook his head
After chatting with old man Fresackio some more Shadowslash left the association
.....
He then went to a building this building was getting rebuild this is the property he chose to create the Adventure Association
The location is in the center of the city causing the price to be quite high but because every time when Sans went to the Howling Ridge he would always brought back may monster parts to sell
This parts came from his three undead subordinates the three were steadily getting much more stronger the only sad thing is that of the three Rampage is evolving to be just a mindless killing machine while the other started to improve their intelligence albeit extremely slow
Other than the monster parts he also earned a steady cash flow from Lisa and Red Bull
Lisa have already started killing the bandits she is chasing
The money she send came from the stoled treasure and money from their treasury
She also gotten quite stronger after absorbing the bloods of her victim
For Red Bull the money came from the other gang tributes and also payment for their protection
They would pay him money because they wanted to turn it into CP
After living in the mansion and train with Don Don and the others coupled with large amount of high quality monster meat their strength soared
They used money to earn CP because unlike the slaves they don’t stay in the mansion that long and menial jobs would be immediately taken by others leaving them with nothing
With the amount of money they are giving their ranks started increasing Red Bull for example became a Normal Iron Rank personnel
Shadowslash went back to his estate and started preparing for the birthday party
Night came Shadowslash and Leafinia rode a carriage towards the Duke’s mansion
After arriving there Shadowslash couldn’t help but click his tongue thinking how grand the mansion is
Numerous carriages started coming Shadowslash couldn’t help but become a bit nervous since he and Leafinia were not nobles and wasn’t trained for a proper etiquette
Just as he was deep in thought a familiar laugh was suddenly heard behind him
It was old man Fresackio he was in a tuxedo beside him was his niece Rosa
“To think that I have arrived later than you” Old man Fresackio laughs as he hugs Shadowslash
Rosa was looking at Leafinia she couldn’t help but became a bit jealous by her figure
Shadowslash bought an outfit that makes her look dainty
He also bought her a hat to cover her flower and a cover for half of her face
Actually he did not want to buy the cover but Leafinia insisted since she was quite shy joining such a party but after she don her clothes and cover she now exudes a noble and mysterious aura causing others to look at her
Shadowslash then went inside together with old man Fresackio
Inside of the mansion was quite amazing he also saw numerous nobles chatting here and there
If old man Fresackio weren’t there he would definitely feel isolated
So that Leafinia won’t feel lonely or bored he requested Rosa to chat with her
Just as everyone was busy talking a cough was heard as one of the servant shouted
“Duke Fredrick Es Archinviel has arrived together with first madame Emilia Von Archinviel, second madame Sainy Elis Archinviel and third madame Paula Archinviel!”
Shadowslash then looks at the three women besides Duke Fredrick Es Archinviel memorising them so that he would who not to mess with
The first madame was elegant looking she exudes the demeanor of a noble causing others to be a bit submissive before her
The second madame is a petite looking person with her smile your first impression would be this is a kind woman
Lastly the third madame of base on looks she is considered the most beautiful of the three even though she exudes a weak aura that makes males want to protect her
“Young lord George Es Archinviel has arrived!”
“Young lord Richard Es Archinviel has arrived”
“Young lord and miss Ray and May has arrived”
Shadowslash then saw Duke Fredrick Es Archinviel children first son George Es Archinviel, the second son Richard Es Archinviel and the twins Ray and May Es Archinviel
George looks like his father only younger while Richard might bear resemblance to his father but other than that he quite resemble his mother
The two twins were quite cute both of them were holding hands they tried to look tough but you could tell from there trembling that they are quire shy and a bit afraid being the center of attention
“Now lets give a warm welcome to our birthday princess Effimilia Es Archinviel!”
Once the announcer finished everyone started clapping
Of course when Shadowslash saw this he also started clapping Leafinia follows his lead
Effimilia walks out the door on her white dress she is considered pretty even amongst others
“As expected from Miss Effimilia she is quite pretty”
“Yes if she become a bit more mature she would be considered a top class beauty”
“I heard that she is considered a genius as a dual mage”
“I also heard she has a potential to became a tamer”
Numerous nobles started complementing Effimilia when she walks out
Shadowslash looks at her for a sec before changing his attention towards Duke Fredrick
He told Hentai to scan him and found out that he is still wounded and is not on his full health
The party became much more livelier as Duke Fredrick and his family joins the party
Shadowslash was still not used to the atmosphere of the nobles and old man Fresackio brought Rosa with him to talk with some people
Since he wanted to earn a bit connection to other nobles he started to scan for potential candidate to befriend
He already read about the information about some of the nobles he targeted those that have clean background and are considered good
His first target was a noble named Elizard Crait his family is a merchant family because of their contribution they obtained the noble title Baron
He is considered a good person compared to other merchant family
They were kind because their family were once before a commoner so they sympathise with other commoners
If he could obtain the goodwill of the Crait Family he could have them invest in his association so if there are mission like escort mission their first pick would be his Adventure Association
He found Elizard talking with some nobles they were laughing
Shadowslash approached him and used [Illusion] to those that were chatting with him
Just as Elizard was confused to why the other became a bit strange Shadowslash spoke to him
“Elizard-san its nice to meet you I am Shadowslash” Shadowslash politely extended his arm for an handshake
“Shadowslash-san I heard about you in the merchant industry you are considered a great partner since you always sell valuable monster parts” Elizard then shook his hand and spoke politely
“Elizard-san are you interested to invest on my association” After chatting with Elizard some more talking about idle stuff he immediately went to the point
“Oh? Which association do you mean the B and T association or Merchant Association” Elizard asks curiously
Shadowslash shook his head “Neither what I am intending is to built an association of my own association that is for warriors and mercenaries”
“It will be called Adventure Association were going to sell mostly monster parts or other stuffs and also you could post a mission like escorting of goods in the association and we would be responsible for reliability of the said guards”
Elizard raised his eyebrows and said “Oh? that’s interesting tell me more”
The both of them then started a deep conversation regarding the Adventure Association
Leafinia was only standing behind Shadowslash without doing anything
Since Shadowslash already cover themselves with [Illusion] the others do not disturb the three of them
As the two of them were busy discussing there was a commotion
.....
Both of them stops and Shadowslash dispel the [Illusion] around them
They saw that Effimilia was already opening the gifts it seems that they were too busy discussing about their plans that they missed the dance
