Capítulo 345: Surprising request
Mental resonance was more difficult than Beta had imagined.
This was also a very normal thing. In any case, Pamela was a clone of divinity. Although she was only a remnant consciousness, her identity and strength weren't something that a regular main consciousness of an illusion could compare to.
However, even though it was difficult, it would only take more time for Beta.
Battles in the mental world often seemed to last only a moment, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the sky outside the window was already bright. Shierley was guarding him from the side, and because of the Sound Isolation Barrier, no one else seemed to be able to hear what happened here.
Beta unbuttoned his shirt and nodded in satisfaction at the purple magic circle on his left chest. Then, he opened the system menu and soon saw a notification that he had a new ability.
Magic Tattoo (Epic): You have a powerful magic tattoo that focuses on mind control. Therefore, your Mental Resistance has been increased by three points. You can use the ability of this tattoo three times per day.
Mental Illusion (Epic): You can pull enemies within a certain range into your illusion. The effect will be different depending on the difference in mental power. If the enemy's willpower is higher than yours, it won't work.
The enemies within a certain range … and it was a group skill. Beta was quite happy. As a Divine Noble, his biggest weakness was that he wasn't very strong. Although he could suppress his enemies with his abundant experience and battle instincts, the average attributes and abilities of his class were indeed a shortcoming.
There were always geniuses in this world who could ignore the gap in battle experience and have the best battle instincts. Such people might be rare, but Betta had seen them in the game. If he encountered such a person, then his own basic strength would be the biggest deciding factor of victory.
So, he had to strengthen himself. After all, this world wasn't a game, and he couldn't be resurrected after he died. Therefore, sufficient combat ability was one of the key factors to ensure his survival.
Shirley couldn't help but touch the magic tattoo on Beta's chest. As a divine creature, she could sense the energy and uniqueness contained in the illusion magic circle.
"It's indeed good stuff."
Shirley touched Beta's chest back and forth. Her fingertips were warm. Beta also knew that her body was just as warm, because he had tasted it before.
After explaining the soundproof barrier, the two of them walked out of the room. It was already dawn, but lewd noises were still echoing from other rooms in the Temple of Love … Shirley was amused, and Betta had to admire the Temple of Love for their 'hobbies'.
Beta didn't bother to disturb them, lest his eyes be 'stung', so the two of them left the Temple of Love.
About half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the Doyle Family's residence. Since Beta had been here once and the Doyle Family had specifically instructed them to do so, all the guards knew Beta and Shirley's appearance.
The moment they saw them, one of the guards paled and went to report.
Very soon, a rather gloomy old man walked out. Beta remembered that he was the most powerful professional in the Doyle family.
The man looked at Beta with an unfriendly expression, but he still suppressed his anger and led him inside. Although the two of them did not say a word when they met, it was extremely rude, not to mention the way to treat a guest.
Beta wasn't offended. He followed the old man into the room.
Two floors up, he saw two women standing outside of the master's study. To be exact, they were a woman and a little girl.
The woman was about forty years old, but she was a professional. Although she was only Lvl 1, professionals were blessed by the heavens, and she still had her charm.
Compared to a godly beauty like Shirley, there was naturally a huge gap, but in human terms, she was still a rare and beautiful mature woman, and many people liked her. The little girl, on the other hand, was only about ten years old. Beta was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately realized that they must be Cleveland's wife and daughter.
Recalling what Cleveland said a few days ago, Beta knew why these two people were waiting for him here.
Sure enough, when the woman saw Beta, although her face was expressionless, there was some resentment in her eyes. But when she saw Beta's appearance clearly, the resentment in her eyes lessened.
Beta didn't know much about women's psychology, but Shirley did.
Men were lustful, and women were lustful as well … If Beta had a fat stomach and a fat brain, the woman would definitely resent him even more. However, Beta was handsome and extraordinary, and it was an honor for many middle-aged women to be fancied by such a young man.
Thinking that such a young, promising, and handsome noble wanted to get close to her, the resentment in this woman's heart was almost gone.
This could prove her charm, wasn't it?
On the contrary, she was a little excited. As for why she was excited, only she knew.
Beta nodded to the two. When he was about to enter the study, the woman spoke. She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Beta, we agree to your request. Please don't make things difficult for my family, and don't make things difficult for my husband."
Beta's gaze swept over the woman for a moment before he pushed the door open and entered the room.
This cold attitude surprised the middle-aged woman. Wasn't he here for me? Why is his reaction so strange?
Shirley didn't follow Beta into the study. She stayed outside and smiled as she looked at the middle-aged woman and the ignorant little girl.
Women, especially beautiful women, would always have a special battle that men couldn't understand when they first met. While Shirley was looking at the middle-aged woman, the other party was also looking at her.
In just a few seconds, the invisible "battle" between the two sides came to an end. Shirley was the winner. Whether it was in appearance, figure, temperament, or even dress sense, Shirley was much better than the other party.
This immediately extinguished the middle-aged woman's excitement. She even began to doubt that the young man had such a beautiful woman by his side. Why would he like her? Was he really here for her?
Women always liked to think. Not long ago, this middle-aged woman had already imagined a melodramatic story of a certain noble who couldn't forget her after seeing her and wanted to pressure her family to get her … But the reality was indeed a bit cruel.
Beta didn't know what kind of role he played in the woman's heart. When he entered the study, he saw that Cleveland had already stood up and was waiting.
"Sit." Beta took the initiative and sat down on the guest's seat first. Only then did he ask the other party to sit down as well.
As the host, Cleveland was actually obedient.
"I went out last night and figured out what was going on." While the other party looked at him in surprise, Beta briefly explained what happened. Of course, he certainly wouldn't tell the other party that he got a magic tattoo. After all, it was a rather private matter, and it was one of his hidden combat abilities. There was no need to disclose it to an outsider.
Cleveland's face twitched when he heard that this matter had something to do with the God of Love Temple.
It wasn't because he was scared of the Temple of Love. Compared with other churches, the Temple of Love wasn't very strong, but the Temple of Love maintained an ambiguous relationship with most nobles … After all, there were many beautiful women in the Temple of Love, and those women were rather promiscuous in their private lives. Cleveland had once participated in the carnival that the Temple of Love held. Because of that, his relationship with the Temple of Love wasn't very clear.
However, he really didn't expect that the Temple of Love would work with someone else to deal with him.
Betrayal wasn't rare among the nobles, but Cleveland felt that he was really betrayed in a truest sense by an organization like the Temple of Love.
It was as if his secret lover had run off to sleep with someone else.
Cleveland even felt that he wouldn't feel so conflicted even if his real wife had cheated on him.
In fact, it wasn't strange. The Temple of Love was a force that was good at mental abilities. When the female believers had sex with other men, they would unconsciously transmit the divine power of the God of Love. It was feeble, but it could change a man's opinion about the Temple of Love without a sound. Even if the man knew that the woman he was sleeping with was a slut, he would still forgive her, or even fall in love with her.
Looking at Cleveland's expression, Beta found it odd, but he still said, "The Temple of Love is no longer a threat. What's left is the mayor's forces. He's not as harmless as you think."
"I understand!" Cleveland nodded coldly.
At this moment, he somehow hated the mayor, as if he had seen an adulterer.
"I won't be involved in what happens next." Beta chuckled and said, "But I have to remind you that the mayor seems to have a lot of forces. If you want to deal with him, you have to work with other people to be safer."
Cleveland narrowed his eyes slightly. "Thank you for the reminder."
"Also …" Beta tapped the table and said, "I don't care how many people you work with to deal with the mayor, I want 30% of the profits."
"That's too much. You won't participate in what happens next," said Cleveland casually.
Although Cleveland was more afraid of Beta, he felt that he still had to fight for this kind of thing that concerned his interests.
Beta chuckled and said, "If I take action, you won't have a share."
Cleveland narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. He sighed and said, "I have to admit that you have a point, sir. So be it. But I also have a small request."
"Speak."
"How about taking my wife back for a two-day stay?"
