The Annoying Demon Wolf Cub
"There's something even more fun." After saying this, Altair used his Spirituality to increase his size and hug Vivian tightly, preventing her from breaking free.
Vivian, not to be outdone, exerted her strength, and the two continued to exchange blows, neither gaining the upper hand for a time.
The next morning, after Vivian woke up, she propped her head up with her hand and looked at Altair's profile with a smile in her eyes.
Suddenly seized by a playful impulse, she reached out and gently pinched Altair's nose. When Altair sensed something was wrong and reached out to pat it, she suddenly pulled her hand back. After repeating this three times, Altair finally woke up.
When Altair woke up, the first thing she saw was Vivian grinning mischievously. Remembering the strange things that happened before she woke up, she suddenly turned around and pinned the girl down.
"You need to replenish your blood and flesh." After saying that, Vivian pouted slightly, her eyes wide open, deliberately showing a hint of grievance.
Altair, not alarmed by her words, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Let's do our morning exercise first."
After a long while, Altair finally sat on the bed, gulping down the Cup of Red Liquid that Irene had brought. Vivian, completely naked and with a flushed face, looked at her alluringly and whispered, "Drink slowly, don't rush, you'll get drunk."
After saying that, Vivian added, "This is blood wine that I made using a special secret technique, primarily with Spirituality blood, and adding high-concentration alcohol, Sunia Spring Water, sugar, and various spices."

Altair, still drinking her blood wine, nodded slightly and slowed her eating. After she finished, she placed the glass on her plate, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and casually asked, "When did you prepare all this? It's so complete."
"After you left Bexland, I had nothing better to do, so I prepared in advance." After saying this, Vivian added with a worried look, "After you proposed the method, I found Artisan through the Extraordinary Gathering to design and manufacture this Rose Ring. I also managed to preserve the Rose Bishop's Flesh and Blood Magic ability."
"I thought that, given your personality and with our protection, this ring would only be used for things like this from now on, so the blood wine was brewed in very small quantities."
"But it wasn't until Madam Sharon discovered your whereabouts and reported it to the Demoness Sect that she finally realized what was going on."
"None of us can be by your side at all times to help and protect you."
"I now deeply regret not spending more money to preserve its ' Flesh and Blood Bomb ' capability."
"With this ability, combined with the power of the Sequence Seven Witch, you can contend with Sequence Six Beyonder. Moreover, if you encounter someone you can't defeat, you can use it to escape."
Hearing Vivian's words, Altair was deeply moved, but still thought helplessly, "I'm so sorry, I hope you can forgive me after you know the truth."
"I really can't tell you my own secret, because this special situation is far too complicated. If it gets out, I'll definitely be wanted, hunted down, and investigated—."
"However, as long as this secret isn't exposed, you can rest assured about my safety. With my Four-in-One Sequence Seven, as long as I don't encounter Sequence Five in its prime, I can at least escape, if not kill them in a one-on-one fight."
On January 26, 1347, around noon, Altair and Vivian, dressed in their finest attire, stood at the villa's entrance, waiting for the two to alight from their carriage.
As the person approached, Altair stepped forward to greet her, saying, "Good afternoon, Ms. Adela. Please follow me."
After speaking, Altair led the way, guiding Adela into the villa's dining room for lunch before signing the cooperation agreement.
After more than half a month of discussions, Uncle Leif and other veteran family heads finally decided that they could cooperate with the Demoness Sect.
However, before they can cooperate, they need to sign a special agreement to ensure that they will not betray them.
Altair, who initiated all of this, took on the role of "negotiation bridge" without any resistance, responsible for relaying the conditions to the Demoness Sect and arranging the signing of the contract.
After lunch, the group went to Altair's private study for a private discussion.
After Altair placed a roll of parchment, which always emitted a faint yellow glow, on Adela's desk, he calmly began, "Since returning to Bexland, I've been undertaking the family's mission: persuading the factory shareholders to agree to cooperate with the family. Fortunately, my efforts have paid off. After more than half a month of persuasion, they have all basically expressed a certain degree of willingness to cooperate—"
willing."
"But before they can cooperate, they need some guarantees from their families, and the treaty inside this parchment scroll is the prerequisite for cooperation."
Adela then picked up the parchment and opened it to read. In fact, Altair had already read the treaty, which basically contained only a few common requirements: First, the weapons company being sold would not be Rheinmetall; the company's name might be "Eastern Territory Resources" or "Northern Union," but regardless of the company, the Demoness Sect could not mention that it was acquired in Loen when reselling it.
II. One-time payment, no billing, no warranty.
Third, secrecy is essential. "The Demoness Sect must ensure that this information is not leaked."
After reviewing the terms, Adela nodded and said, "The family can agree to these terms. We can even add some confidentiality agreements, but there are conditions, such as: if Rheinmetall launches a new weapon, the family must guarantee that they can purchase it. This is a necessary condition."
On January 28, 1347, after seeing Adela off in the afternoon after she received the weapons, Altair finally felt relieved. After all, she was a Demigod of Sequence Four, and if she were to suddenly unleash her power, Altair couldn't even imagine how he would die.
After seeing the Demigod off, Altair's life returned to normal. He went out early and returned late every day, collecting herbs to brew special potions and "selling them to complete his role."

Although Bexland has a large population, as long as it is not sold in Commoner, there are generally many buyers.
However, despite half a month of effort since the beginning, Altair has not been able to achieve the same scale of sales as Tingen City.
Because the number of Beyonder here is simply too large, their quality is higher, and their variety is more abundant. There are also various official and unofficial spies.
For example, right now: Altair only sold potions in the South District for a short while before triggering a hidden option and escaping capture.
"Ilya, are you sure she just ran here?" A woman dressed as Senior Nun of the Church of the Night asked, looking around at the surroundings.
In response, a woman dressed in knight's attire nodded and replied, "I'm sure, Sister Alika. I've been following her all the way to the Bridge South Borough since the South District."
"I can guarantee it, I'm absolutely certain, she's nearby right now."
Meanwhile, not far away, on the rooftop, Altair, who was hiding using invisibility powder, thought to himself after hearing this, "Truly a wolf cub, once it sets its sights on me, it bites so hard. It's chased me all over an entire region and still isn't going to give up. It's really not giving me a way out."
"We all believe in the same God, is it really necessary? Besides, I'm your esteemed sugar daddy—uh—mommy!"
"I strongly disagree with your actions. Next time you pay protection money, I will cut your operating funds—"
Half an hour later, the two people under the eaves finally lost their sense of smell and left.
Altair, who was perched on the roof, finally stood up, took off his black hood, found a carriage by the roadside, and paid 2 soli to return to the Sheffield Manor.
When it comes to capturing the Potion Witch, what she hates most is the Church of Evernight, the most idle group of people. Once they discover Altair, they can inherit the power of their own god and chase after her like wolves.
The Church of Steam and Machinery and the Storm Church didn't really care about this matter. As long as Altair didn't openly sell his wares in front of them, they wouldn't bother to catch him.
Moreover, the sellers warned about the side effects when they purchased the drugs. If the drug users have problems, that's their own business. They can't expect to suffer the consequences of using the drugs after enjoying their effects.
