272 virgin temptress
Le Chateau de Paris.
When William and Alice arrived at the entrance, they could already hear the pleasant sound of the violin.
Getting out of the car, Alice said to William with a teasing smile, “My dear master, that pretty girl is indeed here.”
The smile was clearly not all that sincere.
William nodded and commented, “She’s playing much better than last time.”
Huh!
Was he not even trying to hide it anymore?
In Alice’s view, with her master’s abilities, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say he could predict things a thousand years into the future, let alone whether a person was in the shop or not.
So it was pretty clear, her dear master had come here looking for Sofia.
And there he was, claiming he was taking her out for gourmet food. Truly, men are deceivers!
As William entered the restaurant, indeed, it was Sofia playing the violin, this time Paganini’s Caprice No. 24. Although it wasn’t as immersive as when William played it last time, every note was flawless from any musical standpoint.
It seemed that Seraphina’s musical accomplishments were indeed profound!
William wouldn’t avoid her just because she was possessed by Seraphina, of course, provided the woman didn’t harbor any overly ambitious thoughts.
The moment William entered, Sofia looked up at him, and the rhythm of her fingers visibly faltered.
Matthew, the owner of Le Chateau de Paris, stood by.
He was a man who appreciated traditional arts. Whenever Sofia played in his establishment, he was always happy to pause his work and listen quietly. Over time, his address for Sofia naturally evolved from ‘Sofia’ to ‘Teacher Lee,’ a title that conveyed his deep respect for her.
“Mr. Johnson, you’re here?” Matthew greeted William with a smile, pulling out a pack of fine cigarettes and offering one to William.
William didn’t refuse, and just as he took the cigarette, Matthew saw he didn’t pull out a lighter, and in the next moment, he handed over the flame.
“Matthew, I’m here to dine this time, and you can’t keep comping my meals, otherwise I’ll be too embarrassed to come back,” William said. He greatly appreciated the serene lifestyle, and his impression of Matthew was very favorable; he found him to be courteous, refined, yet also generous and unconstrained in his hospitality. But William did not like to freeload.
“Alright, no comping the meal, but Mr. Johnson, when you come to dine, I’ve got to give you a discount,” Matthew replied with the amiable smile of a businessman. He certainly understood that constantly comping meals might not sit well with people, but offering a discount was essential nonetheless.
After exchanging pleasantries, William didn’t speak to Sofia but led Alice to a table by the window to order their meal.
Alice chose French Onion Soup, Steak Frites, Coquilles Saint-Jacques, and some side dishes. Then she turned to William and asked, “By the way, Master, do you think I could beat this missy without using the Sword of Soulbreaker?”
William’s gaze lingered on her for a couple of seconds, and he smiled without saying a word.
Wasn’t it obvious?
A mid-level Soulmancer without a divine artifact going up against someone with the power of a demi-god would likely end up being pinned to the ground and thoroughly thrashed.
Alice wasn’t a fool,William’s smile said all that needed to be said without words.
The food was served quickly, and Sofia stopped playing and came directly over to them.
“May I sit here?” Sofia was forthright, pointing to the seat next to William after coming over.
Alice didn’t know what to say. Are girls nowadays this forward?
But she couldn’t exactly refuse someone a seat.
William, however, said, “Sit opposite!”
Sofia bowed her head and sat down next to Alice.
William asked, “Did Seraphina send you over?”
Sofia nodded silently, her face flushed with an unspoken emotion. After a tense moment, she clenched her teeth and declared, “I’ll have her come out and speak to you!”
No sooner had she spoken than her demeanor transformed entirely. The blush faded from her cheeks, and she exuded a bewitching charm, her eyes shimmering with allure.
“Master, you’ve finally deigned to visit me,” Seraphina announced as she made her presence felt, her tone a stark contrast to Sofia’s previous reticence, her gaze seemingly capable of ensnaring souls.
Even Alice, seated nearby, gaped openly.
This woman must be a natural seductress, every gesture and look designed to captivate.
With Sofia’s inherently innocent beauty complemented by Seraphina’s current seductive behavior, could she be the embodiment of the mythical ‘virgin temptress’?
Alice swore that if she were a man, she definitely wouldn’t be able to resist a woman like that.
However, William looked at her and said, “I didn’t come here for you; I just came to have a meal.”
“Master, what’s so good about a meal?” Seraphina blinked and giggled softly, “How about I come over to your place instead, Master? You can eat whatever you want then.”
This utterly charming and inviting demeanor would have been too much for any other man to resist; they would probably have taken her home already.
Eat steak?
What’s so good about steak?
The real fun, of course, is in the vigorous activities enjoyed by men and women together!
William raised an eyebrow and laughed, “Do you believe that I can eliminate you without harming Sofia?”
With these words, even Seraphina was taken aback, thinking he was being rather ungentlemanly.
“Master, you must be joking, of course I believe you.”
“Then let’s speak properly!”
William didn’t exude a hint of murderous intent, but Seraphina didn’t dare take a gamble. Just by William’s will alone, he could suppress and easily eliminate her.
As for whether Sofia would be hurt…
Once she was eliminated, whether Sofia was safe or not would no longer be important to her.
“Alright! So, what is it that you want to ask me?” Seraphina figured that William’s visit to this establishment must be to find her,since it wasn’t to kill or bed her, he must have something to ask.
Had she heard that today many from the Divine Realm had descended to Earth, could it be that William wanted to inquire about this issue?
“I don’t have anything to ask; I’m just here for a meal,” William said, showing no interest in the problems of the “demigods”. He had already killed so many demigods that a few more made no real difference. As long as it didn’t disrupt his normal life or threaten the people around him, William didn’t care to involve himself.
Seraphina: “…”
It looked like she had considered herself too important.
“Never mind, since you don’t like me, let that girl Sofia dine with you instead.” Seraphina still felt an invisible pressure in front of William,after all, he was someone who could annihilate her at any moment.
In the next moment, Sofia blushed, her head down, not daring to look at William.
The words Seraphina had said were quite explicit, even suggesting going straight to William’s house. If it had been Sofia, she certainly wouldn’t have been able to utter such words.
If William had really agreed just now, and Seraphina had followed him home, the thought of doing that sort of thing, being conscious but unable to control her own body, was too frightening to contemplate.
After Sofia came over, Alice hadn’t said a word,she was utterly astonished. .
This body was housing two people.
Sofia was naturally beautiful, and her distressed appearance was also very touching. The change she had undergone just now was even more soul-stirring.
How could her master withstand such temptation!
While she was lost in thought, Lucien and Tristan also walked into the restaurant.
