Levi pondered his strategy while following Lorin up the stairs.
As she walked, Lorin’s leather skirt swayed, fully revealing her long legs clad in White Stockings and exuding an alluring aura.
“Is this intentional?
Trying to seduce me?
You’re certainly attractive, but you’ve underestimated my self-control.”
Levi sneered inwardly.
Ignoring Lorin’s long legs, he focused on observing the second-floor environment, identifying several windows suitable for escape.
Eventually, he followed Lorin and stopped in front of a secluded room.
Lorin rested one hand on the Door frame and the other on her slender waist, smiling.
“Do you want to start right away, or take a shower first?”
Thinking of making a move while I’m showering?
Heh, I won’t fall for such an obvious trap.
I could even feign going to the bathroom and wait behind the Door with a pistol…
but my goal is to defeat Lorin to establish prestige, not to assassinate her.
It’s better to use a straightforward method.
Levi smiled provocatively.
“Let’s start right away.
I can’t wait.”
Lorin arched a beautiful eyebrow and said playfully.
“Such an impatient little thing.
But that suits me just fine; I don’t like making things complicated either.”
She pushed open the room Door and walked straight inside.
Levi stood at the Doorway, not rushing in, but instead observing the room’s interior.
The room wasn’t large.
Patterned roller curtains were wide open, providing good light.
Inside was only a round double bed with curtains, a small leather sofa, a dressing table, a wardrobe, and two small cabinets too small to hide a person, along with a bathroom with a Door—just like a typical woman’s bedroom.
If there were enemies lying in ambush, there were only a few possibilities: behind the Door, in the bathroom, under the bed, or inside the wardrobe.
He quickly checked behind the Door and the bathroom—no one.
The legs of the round double bed were high; a slight squat confirmed no one was underneath.
The only possibility left was the wardrobe.
Facing Lorin, Levi quickly sidestepped to the wardrobe and yanked it open—
Rows of women’s garments hung there quietly; no one was hiding.
No ambush?
Levi was momentarily dazed.
Was Lorin trying to lure him up for a duel?
Then why didn’t she make her move on the first floor?
Just then, Lorin drew the curtains while unbuttoning her shirt, revealing a vast expanse of snowy-white skin.
She asked with a smile.
“What are you doing opening my wardrobe?
Do you want to change into something else for a bit of roleplay?
I didn’t realize you were so playful.”
Lorin casually tossed her discarded clothes onto the floor, leaving her upper body in only a lace-patterned bandeau.
Her hand reached for her waist, undoing the ties of her short leather skirt.
Levi suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold as a terrifying thought flooded his mind.
“Oh no, she actually wants to do *that* with me…”
“Why aren’t you undressing?
Are you waiting for me to tear off those pretentious rags of yours, you little bitch?”
Lorin had entered the mood, her eyes flashing with intense desire as she rubbed her legs together and walked toward Levi.
Fuck!
Levi cursed inwardly.
Will it give you a shock when I pull mine out later?
In his panic, Levi wanted to flee the room immediately, but faced with the temptation of Lorin’s body, the pattern on his chest began to grow faintly hot.
Levi suspected this was related to the level of his desire.
The stronger the desire, the hotter the pattern would become.
If the desire reached a certain point, he would have to use a knife to bleed himself just to calm down.
“Fortunately, compared to last night, this level is very mild.
Although Lorin’s figure is alluring, I have strong self-control and don’t have many improper thoughts.
Hmm…
why was it so intense last night?
Maybe…
because of that dream…”
Levi gradually regained his composure and began to think of a way to handle the situation.
“Anyway, my goal is to find an excuse to beat Lorin up.
No matter what the excuse is, as long as I can provoke her, it’ll work.
Since things have developed to this point, I can just…”
Levi chuckled inwardly and put on a mocking smile.
“What’s this?
Stripping so quickly?
I never said I wanted to do anything with you.
Is the weather in Tingen too hot lately, or are you just flattering yourself?”
Lorin froze, stopping in her tracks.
A cold expression flickered in her beautiful eyes.
“What do you mean?”
Levi crossed his arms and continued to mock her.
“I mean, thanks for the show of your snowy-white body, but unfortunately, I’m not interested.
However, out of humanitarian concern, I can give you two pence.
Go to the market and buy a couple of prickly cucumbers!”
After speaking, Levi felt his ears burn.
If he hadn’t been wearing the butterfly of vanity, he definitely wouldn’t have said such strange things.
This Mystical Item was truly terrifying.
Lorin’s eyes turned completely cold, tinged with an imperceptible trace of disappointment.
She slowly knelt down, picked up her clothes, and put them back on, piece by piece.
“You can leave.”
She said coldly while dressing.
“Huh?
She’s not even going to hit me?”
Levi was astonished.
Was Lorin’s temper really this good?
Or would he be surrounded by a mob of gangsters the moment he went downstairs, unable to leave the bar’s Door?
With a sense of trepidation, Levi went down to the first floor.
As he reached the Doorway, several patrons saw him and immediately asked with smirks.
“What, did that ball-less fellow Lorin not devour you whole?
Hahaha, a woman after all, just no guts!”
Aside from the mockery, no one came to block him.
Levi successfully reached the Doorway.
“She’s really just letting me go?”
Levi felt a bit unsettled.
He turned around and ran back up to the second floor, arriving at the room Doorway.
Inside, Lorin was fully dressed, sitting on the bed with her hands propped behind her, lost in thought.
Seeing Levi return, she arched an eyebrow and asked coldly.
“Why are you back?”
Levi asked, puzzled.
“You’re just letting me leave like that?”
Lorin was taken aback and gave a helpless smile.
“What?
What else do you want?
Do you expect me to personally escort you out the Door?”
“Is the leader of the Hyena Gang, Samira’s lieutenant, ‘White Stockings’ Lorin, really such a coward that she remains indifferent after being provoked by another woman?”
Levi wasn’t sure if his phrasing was appropriate, given that both parties in the conflict appeared to be women.
Lorin sneered.
“If you were a man, I would have beaten you half to death and fed you to the dogs long ago.”
With that, she stood up from the bed and paced to the window, looking out at the street scene.
“Get out of here before I change my mind.”
Levi scrutinized Lorin from head to toe, showing a deep interest.
