Chapter 486: The betrayal

The betrayal...

The terrible betrayal!

Chae-rin’s eyes slowly turned toward her friend.

Her whole body was trembling.

Terror gripped her heart as tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision and making her pretty face flush an even deeper red.

Seo-ah just shrugged. She let out a soft chuckle and stuck her tongue out at Chae-rin, without the slightest hint of guilt.

"Don’t play like that with your friend’s dignity, little snowflake," Ethan said, still chuckling softly as he gave Seo-ah’s butt a light pat.

"Dignity?" Seo-ah narrowed her eyes.

Her gaze swept over Chae-rin without any hurry, starting with her flushed face and sliding down to those massive breasts, then traveling over the rest of that shapely body.

All of it was wrapped in a tight, sensual black bodysuit that stretched over every curve and seemed ready to give way with any deeper breath.

"Nah..." Seo-ah shook her head, a mischievous little smile playing on her lips.

"’Nah?’ What do you mean by ’nah’? I’m a worthy heiress, just like you!" Bustyviper’s face filled with indignation, her cheeks burning even redder.

She stamped her foot on the floor, and her ample chest bounced with the impact.

Ethan was a smart man, so he simply took a few steps back.

Well, on Earth, he’d been too lazy to be born the heir to some wealthy family, so he couldn’t exactly understand those girls.

"When you’re done, come sit with me. Then we can talk a little," Ethan said, in no hurry.

He settled into one of the spacious sofas in the center of his office and reached for the bottle of wine on the glass table in front of him.

He poured himself a little and sat there, swirling the glass between his fingers and silently admiring the bodies of the two women.

They exchanged glances, sighed at the same time, and soon walked over to him.

Chae-rin’s breasts rolled gently with each step, and Seo-ah’s hips swung with a casual rhythm that Ethan knew all too well.

The two sat side by side on the sofa opposite Ethan’s.

Chae-rin, slightly taller than Seo-ah, made a point of puffing out her chest. Her already enormous breasts rose together, swelling even larger, stretching the fabric of the bodysuit to its limit until the seams looked ready to pop.

Seo-ah wasn’t exactly small, but, well, compared to those mountains, she still fell a bit short.

Ethan poured some wine for both of them as well, shaking his head with an amused expression.

A Lord of his rank—a Duke—would normally never stoop to pouring wine like that, but when he was with his wives, Ethan was a very casual man.

Chae-rin shifted on the couch, adjusting her thick thighs, the soft flesh spreading and squeezing against the cushion before she finally forced some elegance upon herself.

She took the glass Ethan slid toward her and took a single sip, shivering from head to toe.

She’d already heard, in their guild chat, about how delicious Goldenveil wine was.

Still, upon tasting it for herself, she had to admit it.

It was far better than anything produced on Earth.

She hesitated for a brief moment, took a deep breath, looked Ethan in the eye, and then, finally, began to explain her problem.

Ethan listened intently, resting his chin in his hand.

To his surprise, the instant Chae-rin finished describing the situation, a system notification appeared before his eyes.

[You have received a new quest: Bustyviper in Trouble!]

[Quest: Bustyviper in Trouble

Description: The player Bustyviper has a special class called Moon Shadow Assassin.

To fully inherit her class, she must complete her class quest, which involves fighting alongside a native of Estria to defeat Dreker, a manifestation of the First Sinner.

Accept Bustyviper’s request and defeat Dreker’s manifestation.

Bustyviper will have the chance to advance in her class after completing this quest.

Quest Limit: Third Stage.

Rewards: 5x Transcendent Gacha Tickets, +200% XP, +1x Golden Lord’s Ring Skill: Merge Tickets (SSS Rank)]

At first, Ethan wasn’t very interested in the mission, but the moment he read the rewards, his interest skyrocketed.

Five Transcendent Gacha Tickets were simply too amazing!

Considering he’d needed a character of Carmilla’s caliber just to get two of them, these rewards were incredibly generous.

Of course, none of that caught Ethan’s attention quite as much as the last reward.

Another ability from the Golden Lord’s Ring—and one that seemed quite powerful.

"System... is this what I’m thinking?" Ethan asked, feeling his heart race a little.

[Yes... this ability allows you to fuse one hundred gacha tickets into a higher-level gacha ticket.]

That answer brought a big smile to Ethan’s face.

It was exactly what he needed.

He was already getting frustrated with the excess of low-level gacha tickets. They yielded items in large quantities, but rarely anything that would truly help Goldenveil in a transformative way.

’How powerful would this Dreker be compared to the daughter of the God of War, the one I’d have to face to advance to the fourth stage?’ he asked, taking another sip of wine.

[Hmm... I’d say about 80–85% of her power. This is a limited manifestation of power, of course. The real Dreker is much more powerful.]

’Good...’ Ethan smiled from ear to ear.

[The Goddess of Death is watching you with a curious gaze. She wants you to accept this mission.]

That last notification wasn’t even necessary. Ethan had already decided to accept the beautiful Korean player’s request.

He looked at Chae-rin, who was still clutching the glass in both hands, waiting for his answer with wide eyes.

"All right." He nodded with a smile, setting his glass down on the table. "Since you’re such a good friend of Seo-ah’s, I’ll go with you and help you defeat this enemy."

The quest would be useful not only for the rewards, but also for the chance to get a better idea of the enemy’s strength Ethan would face on his own stage advancement mission.

Because of that, he didn’t hold back much.
