Chapter 339 - 339 ...but I!
Our bored gamer looked at the crowd of women around him and judged their worth with the naked eye alone.
Since he could not bed the lot of them five hundred and more maidens all at the same time, there was a need that he picked at least 1 or 2 girls from these gathered daughters of Eve.
As a true immortal who has lived for untold number of years, it was easy to choose the best amongst these beauties.
Clark did not look at the face value only but more on the temperament of his soon to be woman.
"What is your name, girl?" Our good gamer addressed a particular woman in the scene.
While most were openly begging for his attention or otherwise shy at where they stood, this unique woman merely gazed at him with a cold expression on her face.
It was as if the result of this night mattered little to no consequence at all for this fair lady.
Thus, this was precisely the reason why she had also attracted the curiosity of our very own protagonist.
"My name is Qin Ran, Master Clark." The beautiful woman replied with the same icy countenance to bear.
She had shown no sadness or joy in the matter which further intrigued our bored gamer to delve all the secrets that laid inside this woman's body.
Fortunately, that was what Clark intended to do in the first place.
'All according to my plan. This girl should have a very interesting tale to tell tonight.' Clark mused as he rubbed his chin in silence.
This peculiar mannerism continued for several breaths before he declared another decree unto the collection of available women in his disposal.
"Come then, Qin Ran. We have much to talk about inside." Our gamer smiled and then addressed the rest of the unselected girls around him.
"You can go back to your respective clans or you can stay. The choice is in your hands."
After that, Clark led Qin Ran towards a more private setting that was a whole lot more conductive to much nicer discussion.
A collective sigh of dismay was audible enough to the ears as the women could only curse their luck and fate in this night's conclusion.
Some of the five hundred women returned to their own clans in defeat while a majority decided to stay.
Those who remained knew that becoming a woman in our bored gamer's harem was like a fish jumping in one single leap to become a dragon that would dominate over the lives of millions.
In a city that nurtured a hundred million souls, this description was certainly not flawed at all. Thus, a legion of virgins awaited for when Lady Luck would smile on them next.

In one of the unused guest rooms in the clan of Han, a pair of newly acquainted souls looked at each other quite differently.
One showed an interested gaze while the other retained its detached status.
"Why have you come tonight, Qin Ran? I could see well enough that you are absolutely not dedicated to the quest that i have in mind from you right now."
Clark asked to break the silence between them.
He was already laying down on the bed with his hands pillowing beneath his head as he sported an open fascination towards the real motivation behind Qin Ran's actions.
Although he could ask his system Nancy but that would very much spoil the fun of finding facts in the old fashioned way.
"And yet you still chose me from almost a thousand women in attendance. I could throw the same ironic question back to you, Master Clark."
Qin Ran replied as she raised a delicate brow in amusement. This must have been the most reaction our bored gamer got from Qin Ran since their brief meeting.
'I see progress already. A promising turn indeed.' Our bored gamer nodded a couple of times but said no other words in response.
He knew that Qin Ran would have to sate his curiosity on the matter soon enough.
And true to his expectations, Qin Ran paused for a full minute only before delivering what was expected of her.
"Hahhhh..." Qin Ran released a deep breath before skipping unto the truth. There was really no point in prolonging this topic any more than necessary.
No matter how the tables turned, she was doomed to suffer in the end.
"A young master from the Ren Family wants to take me as one of his bitches. I refused but my small clan can't afford to offend a force as big as the Ren."
Qin ran stated in the fewest words she could utter. She was reconciled that there was really no escaping from the dire destiny that awaited her ripe body.
"I see. So this is an act of rebellion from you? Your final stand." Clark smiled in realization of what Qin Ran had intended tonight.
Truth be told, he admired the guts and the strong will that drove Qin Ran up to this very chamber. It was praiseworthy indeed!
"At least I got to be the one to choose where I fall. This much i am content already." Qin Ran said then closed her eyes tightly.
She forced a single tear from forming and dropping from her eyes.
Qin Ran had accepted that she was weak and this weakness had only forced her to succumb to the wiles of the strong. But this resistance no matter how little still meant a lot for her.
It was the last struggle of a pitiful soul that was already free falling into the endless abyss.
'At least i won't be a plaything of that despicable young master Ren Cao!' This was Qin Ran's last thoughts before she opened her eyes into reality.
Although she knew nothing about Master Clark Colter but only that he was a bloody murderer in broad daylight.
For all she knew, Master Clark could even be worse than Ren Cao but such paltry details mattered not at all because Qin Ran has already made her choice on the matter.
"This is my life. And I will be the one who decides what I make of it. Not my clan or the Ren... but i."
Qin Ran whispered and then crawled on all fours towards the static form of our good gamer. This night was definitely one to remember!
