Luck is a Charm

The crowd was looking at Zen like he's a monster. Not only did he look young, but his power is even more awesome.

"Such a beautiful flame and dominating aura."

"No wonder he is so arrogant. He got the asset to be one."

"Mhmm, I agreed with your words. Look is handsome and his mage rank is probably around the 5th or 6th rank to produce such power."

Everyone was praising Zen and completely ignored the idiot who tried to be a hero to save the waitress.

'This is the reality of the world. Whoever is the strongest will get the respect even if they are extremely immoral.' Zen didn't even flinch in this kind of reaction.

If Zen was proven to be a weak person then instead of complimenting, he would have been looked down on or worse, killed for being rude and arrogant.

"So what will it be, my little waitress. Warm my bed or do you expect another hero to come and rescue you." Zen smirked as he used his hand to hold her chin.

'Pretty smooth skin.'

Zen praised inwardly as he continued to touch her skin to feel such a smooth texture.

"Please have mercy on me… kind sir." The waitress said with tears almost leaking out of her eye.

"Enough of trolling her already Zen." Cecilia didn't want to waste any more time so she sent a mental transmission to tell Zen to stop.

"Cecilia, I'm saving her. Can't you see the group of people in the backside who are watching us? If I don't take her for tonight, I'm pretty sure she will be violated today." Zen replied back to Cecilia.

Zen was going to stop his act in making the waitress to serve him tonight since she was still a virgin but he didn't when he noticed something unusual.

In the back group of people, they were discussing about enjoying this waitress for the night therefore Zen decided to help her out.

'If she didn't remind me of my maid in her dressing style and speech, I could care less about her.' Zen said inwardly as he shall let her choose.

Zen leaned in closer to the waitress's ear before speaking in a low voice, "In the back group, 4 people are looking to enjoy your body tonight. Either you choose to serve me in bed for the night or... you can imagine your fate already if you refused me."

Hearing Zen's word, the waitress turned her eye a bit to stare at the people that Zen spoke of.

Sure enough, when she saw their malicious eye and disgusting face that's currently licking their mouth, her face turned pale.

Turning her head back to look at Zen who is smiling without any intention to speak anymore, she could only grit her teeth.

"Please allow me to serve the young master bed for tonight." The waitress clenched her fist as she spoke these words.

Although this kingdom is prosperous and has laws, there are underground gangs where even the officials support them behind the scene.

For a person like her with no high identity besides an above-average face, she could only be defenseless against people who disregard the law.

With the auction house upcoming tomorrow, no one would bother about a case of a commoner being raped by a group of mages.

"Good choice, now tell me your name," Zen said as he grabbed her by the waist while showing a cheeky smile.

"My name is Angela," Angela said while holding her dress tightly. 'It seems like my life is over. To think I get picked on my first day of work.'

In this inn, the payment is extremely high but waitresses who worked here, they would have to pray every day to not get picked by a wealthy customer.

Once picked, no one would help them as they are defenseless and could only wait to be sullied by disgusting and ugly men. Some waitresses were even more unlucky as they were beaten to death during the activity.

'Mother, don't worry. At least you will have the money to cure your illness,' Angela only worked here to get money to pay for her mother's illness that required an alchemy pill to heal.

However, it's an expensive pill which she could not afford. By working in this inn, she has gotten the down payment but in return, she will sacrifice her body.

"Hahahhaha"

Zen laughed loudly as he threw a gold coin on the table and said, "Today this young master is happy. This gold coin is to treat you all to a beer to celebrate me having a lovely night."

"Yes, young master sure is extravagant."

"Hahaha, don't mind us enjoying ourselves for the night."

Everyone starts to cheer at Zen's generosity even though he basically forced an innocent woman to serve him in bed.

Zen nodded and waved his hand to let them enjoy the mood. While inwardly, he was full of disgust with the attitude and behavior of these people.

'Even though that fool I knocked is still unconscious, at least he was hypocrite enough to try and get some spotlight.' 

Zen only shakes his head at how realistic these people are. Since they saw his prowess, going against his will is seeking death. 

Besides, Zen threw out a gold coin without batting an eyelid shows that he was extremely wealthy and could have an amazing family background.

Meanwhile, the group of people in the back who tried to enjoy themselves for tonight is gloomy and resentful.

"Tch, we were going to enjoy a beauty tonight and now an arrogant young master comes in and swoops her."

"What can we do? Fight him? Have you not seen the flame he produced?"

"Enough, we shall look for another prey since messing with that young master is definitely not worth it. We can't risk our lives to mess with something unknown."

"Exactly, we still have to attend the auction for tomorrow and get that item for our master."

As the group of 4 discussed finding another prey and some items for tomorrow's auction, Zen was surprised to hear their information.

'Seems like there are indeed people working for the dogs.' Zen didn't know his first destination already gave him a clue.

As Zen stopped his eavesdropping on those people who are basically slaves without any useful information, he turned his attention back to Angela.

"Happy to serve me tonight?" Zen said evilly despite having zero intention of fucking her.

She was simply a chess piece to propel him in looking like a complete young master who is hateful everywhere.

"If you think I'm going to be happy about serving you then you can dream on." Angela gritted her teeth as she planned to kill him once they're in the room.

Zen smiled inwardly when he heard Angela's word as he knew what she planned to do. 'Acting evil sure is more fun than being some kind of hero where you have to follow this and that.'
