Stretching my weary body, I looked at Lisa still lying on my bed. Her body was still as the dead, making me a little worried as I could not even see her chest rising. Placing my fingers on her carotid, I sighed in relief. It would be strange if another lover of mine died.

Chuckling at the thought, I felt a little better today, but with a quick shower, I got rid of the black impurities that were still oozing out of my body. My looks had yet again changed, and I can understand as to why Lisa became so... enamored. I was really too sexy. I know men cannot call themselves sexy, but... gat damn, no homo, but I would do me. You even got an ass Arsene.

Laughing at myself, I donned my mask, making sure I would not get kidnapped and raped. I finally understand why women have it so hard. It's hard being pretty...sexy.

Giving her a shove, I snickered, looking at my cum slowly slipping out from her garden and back door. It would be a lie if I didn't feel a little pride. Hearing a soft groan, I shook my head, leaving the married woman to her own devices while I left with a happy expression.

Walking down the stairs of the tavern below, I felt all the awkward glances when an elderly man approached me with a proud expression, "boy, you have quite the warrior. For her to last that long, I am quite jealous. My wife can only give me three of four releases. "

Blushing, I sneered inwardly, trying to appear a little innocent beneath my mask. "By Fraya's will...You heard that," I yelled as everyone burst into laughter.

Rushing out, I snicked as I heard their laughter. Imagining the face of Lisa, I immediately regretted not setting up the camera I had built in Pendragon. With an air-filled with regret, I ran towards the Veseract station watching Rave pace back and forth.

"Yo, are you ok?" I asked with an innocent tone. Inwardly laughing at his worried expression.

Rushing at me, Rave gripped my shoulders tightly, a heavy set of anxiety visible as he yelled. "Have you seen Lisa? She was heading by you, but she never returned."

"She stayed the night by me," I said with a serious expression as Rave's expression twisted, "but nothing happened. I swear to the All-Father and all the many gods. She just got a little drunk and could not find her way back, and I was far too weak to ask anyone. You can even ask Shana. She will tell you my body was abnormally weak. Sex is the last thing on my mind...Not to mention I would never do such a thing to my new brother. I am not that type of trash."

Thank God I have this mask... But did I just call myself trash? The truth hurts. I am a fuckboy now. A hail Fuckboy Arsene.

Watching a sigh of relief escape Rave I almost burst into laughter. Patting his shoulder, I comforted him for a few minutes before walking in. Captain was present with her usual expression. Sending me a glance, she beckoned with her fingers.

Stepping into her office, I saw Roald sitting down with an easy expression. A slight smirk could be seen as he nodded. "We meet again."

"so it seems," I replied as I sat next to him, gazing at the captain with a smile. It had seemed she was quite annoyed as her finger repeatedly tapped her desk. The air around her was cold as Ice as she eyed me down with a hint of killing intent.

"You really are a pain, Arsene. Missing a week, now you are somehow involved in the Vanir clan." She stated as Roald arose in horror.

"How..." Roald yelled as he arose with a frightening expression

"Sit your ass down." My captain yelled, "I have no time to waste with you. I originally thought you would spend your time in this city, but I guess that will have to change. Your new partner will be Roald." Vis declared, eyeing me with a cold look.

"What about the Butcher of the Nines?" I expressed, not understanding her anger.

"What about it?" she coldly said.

Losing my smile, I nodded, seeing the cold look in Vis's eyes. It seems her meeting with her sister did not go well. There was a terrifying air around Vis as she clenched her teeth.

"I am sending you two the City of Sarem. There has been a murder, and the local government cannot handle it. They requested help, so since they are in my jurisdiction, so I am sending you two."

"It will take a month to arrive by carriage. All the arrangements have been made. So..."

"Captain, I would like Lisa to come. I am still new to this whole detective thing, so i..."

Rolling her eyes, Vis sneered, "Please, I could literally smell her on your body. Has she already fallen on your bed?" She asked in a dark tone as I gulped, feeling her killing intent clawing at my neck.." Is it a detective you want or a quick fuck?"

"Ummm...Both"

With a laugh filled with venom, a chill ran through my body as she nodded, "fine, but should Rave find out, I will side with him. When he tries to kill you."

Turning to Roald, I smiled, stretching my arm out. "Nice working with you."

"Same," he replied, gripping my arm tightly.

A curious gleam could be seen flowing from his eyes as he turned to Vis, "When do we leave?" He asked in a straightforward manner.

"Ideally today, but Lisa is not here," Vis said, glancing at me.

"She was a little tired...She might not be in today." I explained with a hint of pride. " She needed a day to hydrate and regain her strength. Her leg..."

"Enough!" Roald roared as he eyed me, "What the hell?! Why the hell are you telling us this?"

"Well, Captain might be interested," I curtly replied, nodding at my greatness, "How am I suppose to show off my power? She is stronger than me outside of bed, but during I am sure she will succumb to my battle prowess. A great man once said booty is more important than water, and I stand by that. Even if she kills me, I will not regret it."

"You're an idiot," Both Vis and Roald yelled as I shamelessly nodded.

"And how can you be sure?" Vis countered with a seductive smile, "My body is...quite different from the..."

Cough*Cough*

Blushing, Vis turned away, covering her mouth as she bit her delicate lips. Glancing at the tips of her ears turning red, I smiled... Now that is familiar.

"We shall talk later. I need to prepare. We will meet here first thing in the morning." I said with a shameless grin leaving without a care in the world as I smile towards Vis at her earlier comment.

Sending a cold glance at Andor, watching me like a hawk, I was about to leave when he approached with a predatory vibe."Mind if I tag along?" He asked to my surprise.

"You have shit to do, Andor; stop making trouble," Vis called out from behind as she sent me a side glance, "Here is the dossier study it before you leave, and watch out for bandits. The outskirts of Hallr is filled with them."

Giving Vis a nod, I suddenly halted my step as my soul pulsed. As if I was being called by something or someone.
