Chapter 45: Green Tea Man!

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Green Tea Man!

Michael slipped the half-demon mask into his dimensional pouch and scanned the crowded plateau, taking in the faces of the hunters around him. Some stood alone, while others had already formed parties. There was even one particularly strange group made up entirely of beauties.

As he observed the crowd of Awakened, Michael’s mind went into overdrive. He wasn’t simply looking for someone to flirt with; he was assessing his options, weighing potential gains against the risks, and searching for an opportunity that could benefit him in more ways than one.

Although he had always wished he could forget a certain part of his past, he couldn’t deny that the knowledge he’d gained in that particular area as one of the leaders of the "Alpha x Mog" cult had helped him immensely with women and quite literally shaped his current life.

Over time, he had mastered the art of flirting with women of different lifeforms, learning how to read their temperaments, identify what they wanted, and adjust his approach accordingly. Combined with his handsome appearance and Incubus bloodline, that knowledge made him a formidable opponent in the game of seduction.

Now, he intended to put it to practical use yet again.

He began mentally sorting through the possibilities, considering which approach would yield the greatest benefits while attracting the least unwanted attention.

His grand ’nameless archive’ held plenty of methods, but choosing the right one required more than simply picking whatever sounded appealing. He needed a strategy suited to the situation—and, more importantly, a target who would make the effort worthwhile.

After a long moment of thought, he finally settled on a viable plan. The next step, however, proved a little more difficult: choosing the target of his grand scheme, codenamed Green Tea Man!

His gaze swept across the crowd once more, searching for someone who fit his criteria. Then it landed on a woman walking toward a stall a few meters ahead.

She was a classic beauty in her late thirties, with thick chestnut hair falling in soft waves past her shoulders. A deep-green gown hugged her figure, its low neckline struggling to contain her full breasts. The fabric accentuated her narrow waist and ample hips, stretching taut across her ass with every step. The material clung so closely that the faint outline of her panties showed when she shifted her weight

The woman was certainly beautiful enough to make most men lose their composure. Yet Michael wasn’t particularly impressed. Instead, he found himself comparing her to the women in his own life, if only for a brief moment.

Michael shrugged slightly. ’Meh... Seraphine is definitely thicker and better.’

He let out a slow breath, calming himself down and making sure his expression revealed nothing before walking toward the curvy woman and stopping just behind her. The moment he paused, she turned slightly, and Michael immediately offered her a gentle smile.

It was unlike his usual confident smile. This one was shy, innocent, and just a little awkward.

The woman, Chloe Styles, blinked, her eyes widening slightly.

"Oh~" she suddenly gasped before her lips curled into a faint smile. "Do you need something, little brother?"

Michael scratched his cheek, looking appropriately awkward. "Actually... I do want to buy a few things." His eyes narrowed slightly, as though he were tired, and he gave a small chuckle, letting the smile on his face fade just a little. "But I just remembered that I don’t have any money."

He lowered his gaze, allowing a faint flush to color his cheeks.

"It looks like I’ve embarrassed myself." He gave a quiet, self-deprecating laugh before turning toward the shopkeeper.

"Sir, what time will you be leaving? I’ll run around and get some coins as quickly as possible. Could you wait a little?"

Chloe’s eyes widened as she watched him negotiate with the seller. Then they narrowed with interest.

Slowly, she dragged her tongue across her suddenly dry lower lip. "Little brother, if you want..." she began, reaching toward his face as he turned back to her.

Michael noticed the movement from the corner of his eye.

For the briefest moment, his expression remained perfectly still.

Then his eyes widened, and a hint of uncertainty entered them.

As her hand drew closer, he closed his eyes, his long lashes trembling slightly.

He didn’t move away.

A second passed.

Then he felt them—soft, incredibly warm hands settling against his face. Right on cue, his lashes fluttered, and his eyes slowly opened.

Chloe stood directly in front of him, leaving almost no space between them. Her expression was soft, and her head tilted just enough for her hair to slide over one shoulder.

"Such a handsome young man," she said, her voice warm and slightly husky. "Would you like Big Sister to buy it for you?"

Michael widened his eyes in practiced surprise. "You’ll really buy it for me, Big Sis?"

She nodded once, then curled her other hand into a fist before opening it again, beckoning him closer. Michael hesitated for a moment, his face still resting in her palm, before leaning in.

Chloe rose slightly onto her tiptoes, her lips brushing the shell of his ear. "Of course I will. But you’ll have to keep Big Sis company for a little while afterward."

A faint flush crept up Michael’s ears. He quickly lowered his head and gave a shy nod, playing his part to perfection.

Chloe shook her head. "Don’t just nod. Tell Big Sis what you want. This Big Sis of yours quite likes your voice."

Michael trembled even harder. "Big Sis, I..."

The woman smirked at his innocent reaction and pressed a manicured red fingertip to her equally red lips. She licked it slowly before turning back to the merchant.

"I’ll take the same set for my little brother here," she said.

The merchant sighed, gathered the goods—rations, waterskins, and a couple of basic warming charms—and accepted payment. While he worked, Chloe bent forward slightly to examine the items. The movement made her large ass press hard against the tight green fabric, the material stretching until the soft curves were impossible to miss.

Michael deliberately kept his eyes on her, letting them widen with innocent fascination. When she glanced back over her shoulder and caught him staring, a low giggle escaped her.

’Hehe, such a cute young man,’ she thought, biting her lower lip. ’So innocent, yet so handsome... like an untouched jade flower.’

She drew in a sharp breath. ’God, I can’t wait to eat him up.’

Once the merchant finished placing the goods into a dimensional pouch, Chloe handed it to Michael with a warm smile before linking her arm with his. Michael’s entire face turned red as she pressed her soft chest against his arm.

"Hehe, little brother, why are you so scared? Big Sis won’t eat you."

Michael nodded slowly, never daring to raise his head. "I know. Big Sis is a good person."

Chloe’s lips curled into a smile, and her eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "You haven’t been tested yet, right? Let Big Sis take you there. I’ll make sure no one dares to bully you."

Michael’s eyes widened as he glanced up at her, their gazes meeting for a brief moment. ’Hold on... there’s a registration? So that line isn’t just for entry...?’

He quickly averted his gaze to avoid raising suspicion, letting his cheeks burn even hotter. "O-okay, Big Sis."
