Interested... Adam felt a severe headache as if he'd been hit in the head with a frying pan. There was a mixed feeling of both joy and helplessness as he realized that his plans might be disrupted.
Besides, her race... she was a half-breed who had a rather large trace of demons in her bloodline. Adam narrowed his eyes and felt a little weird. Meeting someone with a demon bloodline for the first time made him feel kind of light-headed.
"So...what does Mistress need me for?" Adam smiled.
Amarantha looked at him, and suddenly a swirl of shadows swirled around them. Not a second passed before Adam suddenly found himself in a luxurious room and was very surprised by it. He was sitting at the table, which was furnished with expensive food, and outside the window he saw clouds flying by.
The moon felt so close that Adam lost his sense of reality for a second and was puzzled to see this picture. After looking around, this room seemed strange to him, and only after some research did he realize that they were flying.
"This is an artifact that I got from my parents. The Spatial Room, which has many functions and can even fly, if the one using it has enough energy, of course." Amarantha lifted her eyes as she saw Adam's surprise. "Now we're heading for the Three Borders, which is where your new lands are, isn't it?"
Adam raised his eyebrows and felt that her insight and information were simply shocking. And the suggestion that she recognized him even through the disguise finally got a firm answer.
Although Adam smiled softly, looking kind and friendly, in his thoughts he pondered coldly how to respond to such a display of authority. There were many choices as to how he might benefit from this situation.
Given the fact that Amarantha was friendly with him and was interested in him, Adam saw nothing wrong with spending time with her and thought it might even leave a much better impression.
However, he was uncomfortable with the mere thought of having to submit to Amarantha, as he did not have enough power and could only sigh in regret.
The Casanova class was a great way to manipulate the crowd, and Adam was only too happy about it, as sometimes manipulation and seduction could change things 360 degrees.
But before overwhelming force, even charm and manipulation become the tastiest jokes, and Adam may be left with nothing but dust if he behaves very defiantly.
The only choice in such a situation is to show sincerity. The aura of enchantment will not work on Amarantha, and all that is left is to act sincerely but with all efforts not to succumb to it.
"Yeah, I got it because of my contract with Ronald. He was in rough shape, and I thought it would be nice to get myself some land for the base." Adam shrugged and smiled. "It would be just fine if I could create a developed city there that could be my wish-fulfillment defense."
"You've got a lot on your mind, Mr. Johnny." Amarantha smiled.
"You can just call me Adam. Johnny is my alias." Adam shrugged and sighed.

"It's all just lip service, and so I have a lot of work and spending to do."
"Hmmm, you're right. Now there are slave traders on the Three Borders who are after quite a few elves." Amarantha leaned back in her chair.
Her breasts quivered slightly, revealing a view of the deep cleavage in her dress. However, Adam only looked at her breasts for one second and smiled softly, continuing the conversation. This behavior made Amarantha smile weakly.

Adam paid no attention to the screens, for he was busy talking. He could not relax completely and was now behaving very decently and elegantly.
"That's exactly what it's all about, Mistress... Ah, what an oversight! I forgot to ask Mistress's name." Adam clapped his hands together, and his eyes opened wide in surprise, and then he put his hand to his chest with a smile. "Though you already know, I am Adam Harris, the demon. How can I address a Mistress?"
·ƈθm Amarantha looked at Adam and fell silent. Her lips connected in a single line, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Adam with a faint smile. Finally, after five minutes, she answered.
"My name is Amarantha; you can call me that without any formalities." Amarantha smiled. "I hope you don't mind if I just call you Adam."
A smile whose beauty was comparable to the moon and soft pink sounds that called out for a kiss. Behind that smile, however, was a vague emotion, and Adam could only count on a sincere conversation.
Amarantha gave her real name and thus showed her willingness to cooperate, so Adam could only nod and feel a heavy heart. He did not know which was more dangerous—if Amarantha had hidden her identity or if she had stated it outright.
"Many people know me by the title 'Queen of the Underworld, and the bar where you seduced that girl belongs to me." Amarantha laughed and put her hand on the table. "I was informed that day that one curious fellow wanted twenty girls at once, and my surprise had no end when you were able not only to satisfy them all but to get their hearts. It's been a day now that they can't satisfy themselves with other customers."
"That factor hit my business hard, and I even had to buy a new batch of virgins to keep the business going. It cost me a lot of effort and money, you know?" Amarantha suddenly stood up and swayed her hips.
Her gait was full of seduction, and Adam raised an eyebrow, feeling a heat flare up in his chest. Amarantha sat down beside him and lifted his chin with her hand.
Adam's nose trembled as he caught the scent of her perfume, which was similar to that of the Moon Silver Rose. This plant was on the verge of extinction, and there were only five left in all of Elfheim.
One of them was at Iliantra, and Adam was able to inhale the scent of this flower and was fascinated by it. After inhaling, this scent penetrated his magical channels and stimulated them, making control over magical energy many times easier.
Feeling the warmth and the way his magical energy was becoming softer and easier to control, Adam smiled softly, wrapping his two hands around Amarantha's arm.
"Of course, I'm willing to pay you for your expenses. How about this? I can sponsor you, Amarantha, if you like." Adam smiled.
Amarantha blinked as she felt a very faint mark on her chest and was surprised to find that her heart had quickened, though only slightly. Her long lashes fluttered as she opened her eyes wide.
It is worth understanding that at the level of the "Ascendant: demigod (world 1)", the body becomes so strong that even an army of a million people cannot penetrate it with pure physical strength. The body stops growing and aging, and the internal organs become almost useless as everything is controlled by magical energy.
It is as if a human being is turned into a robot, retaining his mind. However, he would not be able to be happy, sad, or experience other emotions. This level is regarded by many as a curse and is very difficult for demons who live by emotion.
