"!!!" Noel was shocked to the core that the other party actually knew him. But it was too late to back out.
After all, the receptionist bowed to him and said, "Welcome, Sir Iadre. My master would like to meet you. He is waiting for you on the top floor."
"…" Noel was utterly speechless. On the one hand, he was happy that he could meet their leader. On the other hand, he didn't know whether this was a trap or not.
'Should I go inside? I'm using my Affection Medal right now, so I can see their hostility. What if I suddenly escape the moment I see their master in case he is hostile?' Noel thought this was possible.
Unless the opponent was a Spirit Grandmaster, no one could stop him. At the very least, he could still make some ruckuses, alarming Rose and Anna.
He was a bit hesitant to accept this invitation, but he knew that if he backed away, he might not get a second chance. That was why Noel tried to consider everything in the little time he had.
"My master knows that you are going to be hesitant. So, he is asking me to deliver this letter to you." The receptionist took out a letter and placed it on top of the table so that Noel could take it himself.
"…" Noel narrowed his eyes. He looked around at first, making sure that they were not trying to harm him while he was reading the letter.
After that, he braced himself to read the letter. The content only contained two sentences to his surprise, but it surely shocked him to the core.
"Welcome to my brothel, Young Master. If you wish to meet me, you should climb to the fourth floor by yourself."
Noel was speechless. After all, the first sentence had told him that the other party was already aware of his identity.
He thought there was no one who could see through his identity. But there was actually one person and he was in this building.
He had to know how the other party knew about his identity or he might not know that his identity was already discovered by the enemies.
Although this was risky, he might have to go this time.
He bit his lips and said, "I understand. I'll meet him myself."
The receptionist bowed to him, not saying anything. Meanwhile, the girl who was pulling him here was confused because she didn't know what had happened and how this gentleman knew their master.
There was no one that tried to accompany him or even stop him. Since the receptionist had allowed him to go, it was clear that the gentleman was more important than they could imagine. So, they left him alone, allowing him to go straight to the fourth floor.
However, the moment he stepped onto the second floor, the atmosphere changed.
"Hmm?" Noel widened his eyes in surprise, looking left and right to see what was going on.
The scent of this floor was sweet. He could hear a lot of moaning coming from the rooms on the second floor.
He wasn't that disturbed by the sound since he was inside a brothel. But what he didn't expect was that a few women suddenly came out from the rooms.
The women were almost naked. Most of them had clothes covering their private parts, but some only used their hands to cover their breasts as if trying to tempt him.
The sweet smell that permeated the entire floor was actually inciting his instinct as if telling him to go with one of them and enjoy the pleasure.
'What is this smell? Am I being poisoned?' Noel widened his eyes in surprise and hurriedly used his Undying Fire to burn every poison that entered his brain.
To his surprise, the moment he did it, the sweet smell still remained, but his head became extremely clear. Due to that clear head, he could finally see what was actually happening.
These women actually had no screen panels coming from them. In other words, they all were not human beings.
Noel took a deep breath, calming his heart and mind down. It seemed that the sweet smell had a hallucination effect.
'Hallucination… I never thought it would be like that… I have to remain calm. The fire is burning the toxin right now…' Noel muttered inwardly. He kept using the fire to burn all the toxins while covering his mouth and nose to make sure he didn't inhale this gas.
The women gradually disappeared from his eyes as the corridor turned into a normal one, filled with doors that led them to a room for the service.
Some of them were open, some were closed. He was a bit hesitant, but he knew he had to step forward if he wanted to reach the fourth floor.
He thought this was normal in the brothel, so he kept going while taking a peek at the open room.
To his surprise, there were a few ladies inside the open rooms as if they were waiting for their customers.
Although they couldn't be considered beautiful, they weren't that bad either. But when one inhaled this gas, they couldn't help but hallucinate, turning these girls into peerless beauty. It was no wonder why the brothel used them.
After confirming that it was just a necessary hallucinogen for a brothel, he continued walking forward, not planning to talk to any of them. He had to meet the owner of this brothel first before he could even learn anything from this place.
It didn't take too long for him to reach the stairs, which were located on the other side of the building. It seemed that for the important customer, it was necessary to go through this corridor first so that they would hallucinate, turning the girl that would accompany them into far more beautiful.
And the smell filled the entire room. But Noel didn't know that this was actually the 'banquet' that the owner had prepared for him.
The moment he reached the third floor, the atmosphere changed once again.
