8.72% The Sinful Life of The Emperor / Chapter 68: First Impression

Chapter 68: First Impression

Close Horizon was the most luxurious hotel in Delta City. It had sinfully sumptuous suites and jaw-dropping interiors of gold leaf. With 200 rooms and suites, the hotel boasted state-of-the-art facilities and an incredible view of the sea.

Then there were a dozen dining spots, 20 bars, 6 lavish spas, and so on. All over, Close Horizon was a hotel with unimaginable vanity for those who could afford it.

In the parking lot, a fair-complexioned woman stepped off a white hovercraft. Clad in a stunning black cocktail dress, her figure was to die for. No matter if it was her glistening long legs, her striking face, and the lust-inducing cleavage, she was incredible! Her almond-like eyes and the raven hair added extra charm to her stunning features.

She was none other than Sarah - the better half of Daniel.

Sarah was not exactly in a pleasant mood. The cause was her husband's recent strange behavior.

He was angry for small matters and would even vent his frustration on her and the kids. When she asked him reasons, his expression would turn ugly, almost like she had kicked him in the guts!

Things took a drastic turn a few hours ago. She had invited him for a dinner date, subtly promising a lot of romance and intimacy! Instead of appreciating her, he screamed at her for wearing 'slutty' clothes!

"What has happened to him?" Sarah wondered as she left the parking lot. She felt their lives should have been bright with the recent boost in TRP ratings and the benefits they earned from Sylvan... Yet everything was the opposite!

She stepped into her regular dining spot where she would often hang out with her friends. Suddenly, she took a wrong step and her body started losing balance.

"Ah no!" Sarah cried as she felt she was about to collapse on the floor. As she waited for the cold floor to touch her, a warm hand slipped on her waist and grabbed her. She was startled but also thankful as she was saved from an embarrassing moment in front of so many people.

"Are you all right?" A voice asked.

"Yes! Thank you!" Sarah turned towards the speaker of the voice and was stuck on the spot.

Kiba?!

She obviously knew about given her profession and the recent handling of the breaking news. She didn't let the shock appear on her face and once again politely thanked him.

"It was nothing," Kiba said with a smile, "Please excuse me."

Kiba then sat across a chair, close to where Sarah was about to fall. Sarah noticed him resuming a chat with a gorgeous blonde.

She cleared her thoughts and walked to her regular table. Her friends were rather late so she ordered a few things.

She was rather bored alone. And since she had nothing better than to do, she glanced towards the table reserved for Kiba and the blonde. She was curious about the latest woman the womanizer was dating, so she secretly captured the image of the blonde on her phone.

In no time, she was able to acquire the identity of blonde: Meghan Adley.

"A fashion model working for Keystone Fashion Company."

Sarah read the information. She eyed Kiba and felt he was blessed with an attractive build. Plus he seemed to be a gentleman with how he helped her a few minutes ago. 

"No wonder women fall for him!" Sarah thought with an amused expression. She cleared her thoughts as her group of friends joined her.

"Sorry but we were stuck in unusual traffic!" Her friends apologized for the delay, and soon, they started gossiping...

*****

Meghan was pleasantly surprised when she received an invitation for dinner from Kiba. Six days ago, she had given him her card but he established no contact, something that left her disappointed.

"You look stunning!" Kiba complimented her with a faint smile.

"Thanks!" Meghan politely expressed her gratitude for both the compliment and the invitation.

She was charmed by his looks and personality, but the reason she arrived on the date was to take advantage of his influence. She has seen how her boss swallowed insults from him so she knew he was powerful. She felt that as long as she had his protection, she could save herself from the old codgers.

Kiba and Meghan talked about everything and nothing as they enjoyed the fine dishes: roasted lobster, artichoke soup, caramelized quail, seared duck foie gras, sweetbread, etc.

In the end, the dessert - ice creams- arrived and both of them took small bites.

As Kiba completed most of the ice cream and was left with only cherry, he gazed at Meghan with an expression of deep contemplation. Meghan was surprised by his expression.

"What are you thinking about?" Meghan curiously asked. 

"Just wondering what tastes better," Kiba answered as his eyes moved towards her breasts, "The cherry I have in the bowl or the two cherries there."

Meghan was stunned by his remark. It made her face flush.

"You will have to find that out for yourself!" Meghan replied with a vixen-like smile.

Ten minutes later, Kiba tasted the best cherries in the world...

----------

Next day.

Close Horizon was hosting an art exhibition, focused on the paintings of the renowned painter - Anakletos.

Kiba and Meghan stepped into the exhibition hall, joining the rich in appreciating the art. Sarah and her group of friends were also there, marveling at the painting of a queen on the throne.

"She has got nice boobs!" A haughty youngster in his early twenties remarked loudly. He stared at the woman in the painting as if she were a porn actress.

"Olly, you're right about that!" A youngster named Rogan agreed, "She should be the Queen of Boobs!"

Olly and Rogan started laughing at their jokes.

Kiba and the others were surprised by their actions. Not everyone was capable of appreciating the art, but at least, one shouldn't make such slanderous comments so openly.

"Olly! If I'm not wrong, he's the son of the chief officer investigating the incident in the wasteland!" Sarah whispered to her friends.

Kiba remembered the details Claudia had provided him. From what he knew, the present investigating team wasn't the main team.

He brought his focus on the painting in front of him, without bothering about the remarks of Olly and Rogan. Everyone else, on the other hand, looked at those two as if they were idiots.

"Meghan, let's observe the next painting!" Kiba had plans for establishing contact with Sarah, but they were for later. For now, he only wished to enjoy the art.

"Sure!" Meghan joined Kiba in admiring another painting. Coincidentally, Sarah and her friends, along with Olly and Rogan, also stepped towards the same painting.

The painting depicted a woman under a waterfall. Kiba was a man who appreciated beauty, and the same applied now.

"A woman washing away the ugliness of the world!" Kiba marveled at the painter's ability to propagate such a deep message through the painting, and that too, so subtly.

"Ugliness?" Meghan was surprised. She only saw the woman taking a bath and nothing else.

"The paintings are always subtle," Kiba explained.

"Are you dumb?" Olly suddenly interjected in the conversation.

"Hmm?" Kiba turned towards Olly.

"What ugliness of the world!?" Olly looked at Kiba with disdain as he continued, "The painting is about a slut! Look how she enjoys bathing openly!"

Kiba let out a barely audible sigh. If possible, he didn't want to create trouble as he had a plan to follow, but it seemed the world wouldn't let him have his way.

"I wish your mother had washed you away when you were in her womb... That would have saved me from an idiot ruining my mood!"

Kiba then focused back on the painting.

"Motherfucker, what did you say?!" Olly was incensed.

"Now, now!" Kiba had a sincere smile on his face as he said, "What happened between your mother and me is a secret! You shouldn't leak it to everyone by being so obvious!"


Chapter 69: Kind Relative

"How dare you!" Olly's eyes turned bloodshot. His anger soared further as he noticed the looks of amusement on everyone around him.

"What do you mean by dare?" Kiba seemed confused. "Are you perhaps talking about my dare for---?"

Kiba didn't complete his words, but everyone understood what he meant. Olly trembled with anger. The veins on his forehead and neck popped up, on the brink of exploding!

"Who do you think you are to speak in such a way with Olly!?" Rogan thundered. He tried his best to pacify Olly and prevent him from attacking Kiba.

They were haughty but not fools. They knew the mess they would be in if they damaged any of the paintings while dealing with Kiba. So they wanted to make Kiba apologize by flaunting their backgrounds. Alas, they didn't know Kiba...

"Who am I?" A bashful smile appeared on Kiba's face as he replied, "Olly already told you that! I can't speak more; otherwise, his mother would feel I'm not good at keeping secrets!"

Dammit!

Olly couldn't believe how Kiba was toying with him just due to one word. Gritting his teeth, he summoned an energy chain made of blue light.

Without any warning, he whipped the chain toward Kiba. The chain compressed the air and resulted in a sonic blast as it rushed at Kiba's head. The combined might of the blast and the chain were ready to engulf Kiba!

The smile on Kiba's face didn't waver at all. He gently stretched his hand to catch the chain.

"Courting death!" Olly laughed, seeing Kiba's relaxed attitude in the face of his attack. But then his expression turned into that of horror as Kiba easily grabbed the chain, showing no discomfort!

Kiba waved his other hand, and the might of the sonic blast vanished into thin air!

Olly's expression turned ugly. He tried his best to pull the chain, but it proved futile. It was like the chain was grabbed by a mountain instead of a human!

"This is not the right way to behave!" A dejected expression appeared on Kiba's face as he said, "Given my relationship with your mother, I would teach you in her stead!"

Kiba lightly tapped on the chain. Crackling sounds erupted from the chain, as if his fingertips were hammers smashing into glass.

"No!"

The chain links started exploding into ripples of energy. The explosion did no harm to Kiba, but Olly was different. His hands, which were holding the chain, exploded in blood and gore.

"Olly!" Rogan's eyes blazed with fury. The floor below his feet fractured to pieces, and he transformed into a beam of light.

He charged straight at Kiba. His speed was so fast that he instantly appeared in front of Kiba.

From his back, four enormous spider-like legs emerged, and they stabbed forward, aiming at Kiba's chest.

Rogan smirked as he saw the spider legs about to pierce into Kiba's chest, but then his pupils constricted with shock.

"I don't believe in violence, so I will dodge!" Kiba remarked as he teleported away. The spider legs passed by the place where Kiba was and stabbed toward the painting just behind!

There was an invisible force field protecting the painting, and its defensive mechanism activated as the legs stabbed.

"Aahhhhh!" Rogan released a heart-wrenching scream.

The force field surged a corroding poison into the spider legs. Just like how flames burn away a piece of paper, the spider legs started turning to ashes.

With a loud thud, Rogan collapsed on the floor, wriggling in pain. His back was filled with burn marks as the poison invaded his insides.

Sarah and others were surprised but not shocked. They knew Kiba's reputation as one of the strongest mutants in the city, so it was nothing remarkable for him to defeat two kids.

"It was plain bullying!" Sarah thought.

She felt those two would have thought a hundred times before attacking if they knew about him. Sadly, they didn't, as they were new in the city.

"Oops!" Kiba arrived in front of Rogan. "Don't you know the paintings are protected by force fields to fight burglary?"

SON OF A BITCH!

Rogan could barely mutter a curse. The poison was slowly corroding his organs...

"Haah!" Kiba let out a sigh and said, "She would feel sad when she learns her son has a thieving friend!"

Kiba then stepped toward Olly who was lying on the floor. His face was filled with blood, tears, and sweat as he looked at his severed hands.

Meanwhile, a team of guards finally jumped into action. They rushed into the exhibition hall to tackle the situation.

"Quick! Call a medical team!" Kiba shouted at the rushing guards. "My relative and his friend are gravely injured! If anything happens to them, I will sue you all and the hotel!"

The guards stopped in shock. They wondered if they were hearing right... he would sue them and the hotel for something he has done?!

At the same time, Olly truly regretted calling Kiba a 'motherfucker'. He wished he could go back in time and stop his naive self from offending this monster.

---

A few minutes later, a doctor arrived and gave Olly an injection. Soon, the bleeding stopped, and the minor wounds healed.

"For regenerating his hands, we will need to take him to the cloning chamber!" The doctor informed, "It will be quite costly!"

Without any hesitation, Kiba took out a platinum card. He gave it to the doctor and said, "Put all his expenses under me! I might not be related to him by blood, but I can still be considered as a relative!"

The doctor was surprised, for the card denoted he was a platinum customer. Someone the hotel regarded as important. The treatment for cloning was costly even for a platinum customer, and yet this man showed no hesitation.

The doctor turned toward Olly, and with an envious tone, he remarked: "Kid, you are lucky to have such a kind relative!"
