?"What do you think, little brother? I'll give you ten thousand—no, fifty thousand gold coins, as long as you're willing to give your maid to me. Hehe, she's an absolute top-tier beauty. I could play with those beautiful little legs alone for a whole year." The middle-aged man leaned in, acting as if they were already close friends. Meanwhile, his gaze constantly wandered over Lola's body, licking its way up from her calves wrapped in white thigh-high stockings all the way to her absolute territory. Loren could almost hear his somewhat heavy breathing.

  ?"L-Lord Baron Reberun."

  ?The beautiful clerk nearby couldn't help but reveal a fearful expression upon seeing the disgusting fat otaku.

  ?This Lord Baron had quite a bit of fame in the imperial capital. Although he was only a baron, he possessed an estate worth a full million, not to mention he had an uncle serving as a minister in the royal palace. Facing such a person, the clerk absolutely dared not show any disrespect.

  ?But the man had no interest in these beautiful clerks; he simply stared at Lola with burning eyes.

  ?Being licked by that lewd gaze, Lola's little face couldn't help but turn pale, and her delicate body began to tremble slightly.

  ?"Fifty thousand gold coins..."

  ?Thinking of the price this disgusting man had offered, tears almost welled up in Lola's eyes. She had merely stolen five thousand gold coins from her master and became his maid. Now that this man was offering fifty thousand gold coins to buy her, that unscrupulous master would definitely agree to it very happily, wouldn't he?

  ?Lola's mood plummeted bit by bit. She clenched her tiny fists, lowered her head, and waited for Loren to pronounce her fate.

  ?After hearing the fat pig baron's words, a cold glint flashed through Loren's eyes. He then revealed a beaming smile and looked at him.

  ?Seeing his expression, Lola's heart trembled, while the baron's smile widened, feeling that the deal was highly likely to go through.

  ?Just as he was secretly rejoicing, Loren suddenly asked, "Are you a pig?"

  ?Baron Reberun froze for a moment, and then his face flushed red. He hated it the most in his life when people called him a word like 'pig'.

  ?The clerk beside them was stunned upon hearing his words. My god, isn't this guy a bit too fierce? She hurriedly said, "Little brother, this is Lord Baron Reberun, personally titled by His Majesty the Emperor. You mustn't speak nonsense."

  ?Loren showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Oh, so he's a noble of our empire? I thought this person was royalty from the Snowfall Empire."

  ?The Snowfall Empire bordered the Odin Empire, where Loren was located. However, unlike the Odin Empire, the Snowfall Empire was an empire belonging to beastmen.

  ?Hearing Loren's words, the baron couldn't help but freeze again. Then he thought about it. So this guy wasn't insulting me? The royalty of the Snowfall Empire is the Pig-man race... He thought this, but he still felt something was off.

  ?Just as his expression was flickering darkly, Loren looked at him cheerfully and asked, "Lord Baron, the character on your robe is the protagonist from Magical Girl Asuna, right?"

  ?Hearing Loren mention the mage loli on his robe, the baron's attention was diverted, and he even became somewhat excited: "What, you've watched this anime too? Asuna is super cute, right?"

  ?Thinking he had met a kindred spirit, the baron quickly forgot his displeasure. Seeing the two of them chatting so happily, Lola's expression grew even gloomier. Her small hands gripped her skirt tightly, and her eyes were already misting over.

  ?She felt she was going to be sold off very soon.

  ?"Asuna, such a good girl. Super pretty, and her panties are fantastic too," the baron continued to babble on, a wretched expression on his face. "From the moment I saw her, I treated her as my waifu."

  ?"Indeed, indeed."

  ?Loren agreed, then said cheerfully, "Your waifu is certainly cute."

  ?Baron Reberun felt very comfortable hearing Loren's words. However, before his smile could fully blossom, he immediately heard Loren's next sentence.

  ?"I've read your waifu's doujinshi. She really is very cute, especially when she's in bed..."

  ?Baron Reberun: "???"

  ?He glared at Loren. Why isn't this guy playing by the rules? His current mood was as uncomfortable as if he had just eaten a fly. Can't you just chat normally, for fuck's sake?

  ?"Never mind, let's not mention the doujinshi. Lord Baron, you were saying you wanted to buy my maid, right?"

  ?Just as Baron Reberun's face was turning somewhat dark, Loren spoke up as if he had just remembered something. Hearing this sentence, Baron Reberun suppressed his displeasure once again. He cast a greedy glance at Lola over there and asked, "That's right. As long as you sell her to me, I'll give you fifty thousand gold coins."

  ?"Fifty thousand gold coins, huh." Loren stroked his chin, putting on a thoughtful expression. "Actually, I feel that fifty thousand gold coins is a bit too much for the Lord Baron to pay. My maid is skin and bones. Although her skin is pale and very smooth, touching her always feels like it's lacking something."

  ?Bastard, bastard, bastard...

  ?Lola's anger gauge was practically off the charts.

  ?Baron Reberun's eyes, however, lit up, and he was even somewhat moved inwardly. Hearing that Loren was actually being considerate of him, he couldn't help but feel that this guy was truly a good person. He tossed all his previous displeasure to the nine clouds. He patted his chest: "Not expensive, not expensive, not expensive at all! In fact, buying the little brother's maid for fifty thousand gold coins is still a profit for me. For goods like this, putting them in an auction house for a hundred thousand gold coins wouldn't be an exaggeration. Sometimes there's a price but no market for them."

  ?Baron Reberun was telling the truth. There were quite a few people in the imperial capital who liked this type. Moreover, an exquisite demon maid like Lola had never appeared in the imperial capital before.

  ?"I see..." Loren smacked his lips. His next sentence almost made Baron Reberun spit out shit.

  ?"Then I'm not selling."

  ?Loren said.

  ?Baron Reberun: "???"

  ?"Kid... are you playing with me?" After a good while, Baron Reberun said with a dark face. His current expression was like that of an enraged wild boar.

  ?"I am not, Lord Baron. You can eat shit recklessly, but you can't speak words recklessly. This is naked slander," Loren said with a straight face. "Didn't the Lord Baron say it yourself? Fifty thousand gold coins isn't enough to buy my maid; she's worth at least a hundred thousand gold coins. Although I don't like this flavor, rare goods should be hoarded. I need to calculate this carefully, hehe."

  ?Eat shit my ass! Looking at Loren's highly punchable expression, Baron Reberun's face flushed red: "Kid, I'm laying it out right here. Today, I am definitely buying your maid. If you agree right now, the fifty thousand gold coins are yours. If you don't agree... hehe, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

  ?Loren frowned and asked, "Ruthless? Could it be that the Lord Baron intends to forcefully rob me?"

  ?"Heh... Forcefully rob? I don't need to use such tactics. In just one day, I can make you obediently wash your maid clean and send her to my bed. Even if you are a student of Valoran Academy, it will be useless," Baron Reberun said arrogantly.

  ?Although he was only a baron, his eldest brother was a bona fide general of the empire, the kind who had established illustrious military merits. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have personally rewarded him with the title of baron.

  ?"If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do."

  ?Loren sighed after listening to him.

  ?Baron Reberun smiled coldly. He felt he had Loren completely figured out. This guy would definitely yield and then obediently hand over the maid.

  ?"It's still not too late for you to agree now, kid. This is your last chance," Baron Reberun's tone was as if he controlled Loren's life and death.

  ?Loren smiled. Suddenly, his gaze turned incredibly playful as he looked at the baron. Since the other side had already torn away all pretense, he couldn't be bothered to keep pretending either. He had played with this guy long enough.

  ?"Fat pig, do you really enjoy daydreaming?" Loren asked leisurely.

  ?What the hell is this guy saying?

  ?Hearing the words Loren suddenly spouted, the receptionist nearby turned pale with fright.

  ?"Fat pig?"

  ?Baron Reberun was so angry his eyes were practically spewing fire. If 'fat' and 'pig' were words that poked his sore spots, then 'fat pig' was practically stabbing him right in the heart.

  ?"Heheheheheh..." He let out a cold sneer: "Kid, you are courting death yourself!!"

  ?Baron Reberun spoke angrily, and then that fat, short palm slapped directly toward Loren.

  ?As he slapped, the power of battle aura erupted from his body. Red battle aura covered his hand. If this slap hit a rock, the rock would directly explode.

  ?"Level 5 Martial Artist, Fury Battle Aura!"

  ?At this moment, the woman who arrived late after being notified by the clerk that there was trouble in the shop just happened to see this scene. Her beautiful face changed drastically, but it was already too late for her to stop it.

  ?Does that fat pig do things without using his brain? That little guy is just a first-year student at Valoran, and a mage at that! Taking this strike, he'll lose half his life if he doesn't die!

  ?..
