RISE OF EROS

Chapter 238: CHAPTER 237

While Candice and Andrew were talking in the office, Oliver and Castor took Candice's subordinates on a tour of the facility. At least the men, because Vala was kidnapped by Carolina, Helena, and Aki.

Marie, having nothing to do, followed them as well. Now the five girls were in one of the VIP rooms and started to interrogate Vala. These rooms are only used under the reservation of important people, so they are usually empty, that's why Andrew's wives took Vala to one of them.

When Vala was taken by the other girls to a secluded place, she was sure they would ask her questions about Candice trying to gain some advantage from her, as Vala still had the vision of regular harems in her mind.

Although she, had no amorous experience just like Candice, she is an intelligence agent, so she has seen a lot of things, so she has seen at least a couple of harems.

However, when Carolina and the others started asking questions, they left her confused, as they didn't ask her any relevant information about her boss, but rather somewhat strange questions.

They asked her things like Candice's favorite food, and her hobbies, and questions like that. That information could be used to annoy Candice, but it really wouldn't have much effect, so Vara believed that they genuinely just wanted to know Candice's likes and dislikes.

She couldn't get over this, as it showed that they wanted to get along with Candice, and that went against all the harems she knew. It should be known that most of the harems in this world are of women.

For this reason, they become a battleground to win a man's affection, so it is inconceivable to Vala that Andrew's harem would be so harmonious. She had no way of knowing that among the Eros gods that was normal.

There were also harems of men, but those were different because when a woman has a harem of men, they are really nothing more than a group of disposable men she uses for fucking.

Gaston and Erick, on the other hand, were impressed with what they saw at the Heavenly Palace. The place was packed with customers, the courtesans were stunningly beautiful and seductive.

The team of cooks and waiters worked like a well-oiled machine and Victor's leadership was remarkable. Still, it wasn't until they entered the dance room that they realized Andrew had revolutionary ideas.

Since they knew Andrew was the creator of the rejuvenating creams, they knew Andrew had a lot of good ideas on his mind, but now that they saw what he had done at the Heavenly Palace, they realized they still underestimated him.

They were not experts in this kind of business, but they were sure that something like the dance room did not exist in any other pleasure house in the city. Since they had never visited a place like this before, they were a little shy, so Oliver took them to one of the private dance halls and called one of the girls to give them a show.

Although a little uncomfortable, they couldn't deny that they liked what they saw. In the office, Andrew finished telling Candice his plans and other important information about his identity as a candidate for Eros god.

Andrew wanted to play a little with Candice, but seeing that the girl was nervous just sitting on his lap, he didn't want to force himself on her. He had no need to since she had agreed to move so he would have plenty of time to ease her nervousness.

Candice was inexperienced, not stupid, so she noticed that Andrew was holding back and it only warmed her heart because she really wasn't ready, but if Andrew pushed, she wouldn't refuse.

In her mind, refusing was like slapping him in the face, so she wouldn't refuse, but she prayed that Andrew wouldn't push and when she saw Andrew give her space she sighed.

"Thank you for not pushing. I promise to be more assertive, but give me time," Candice said in a voice as small as a gnat's as she snuggled into his chest to hide her embarrassment.

Andrew just found this behavior charming and stroked her hair as he said, "Don't worry, take all the time you need." Obviously, those were words to comfort her, as he didn't plan to wait for her forever.

He was confident that he could get her to open up in no time. Carolina was the same and still fell, so he was convinced that Candice would have the same fate, but there was no need to scare her.

While everyone was enjoying themselves in the Heavenly Palace, Raven arrived at Donald's study. To his surprise, Teresa was also present because Raven had sent a messenger pigeon before coming and Teresa happened to be in the study when the pigeon arrived, so she learned that Raven would give a report and it had to do with Candice.

For this reason, she wanted to know what had happened and waited with her husband for Raven to arrive. Although he was surprised to see her, he quickly adjusted his condition and began to explain what he had witnessed.

Both Donald and Teresa were surprised that Andrew had two powerful experts under his command. It wasn't that they didn't know of Oliver and Castor's existence, just that they were unaware of their strength, but listening to Raven, they knew they were not mere experts.

The fact that, according to Raven's deduction, Castor had the same strength as him and was the weaker of the two, made them put on serious expressions, but what surprised them the most, was that they helped Candice clean her house.

It is common knowledge that no one would invite another when they wanted to get rid of the trash in their organization, as many secrets can leak out and that was what missed them because they knew Candice long ago and knew she wouldn't make such a stupid move.

"Love, I think you will have to visit Candice and set the record straight," Donald said seriously and although Teresa was reluctant to do so, she was worried about her friend so she reluctantly agreed.

Another of those who found out about Andrew and Candice's movements was Johan. While things were over between him and Andrew, he still kept an eye on Andrew, as they were technically enemies, so he didn't want to be taken by surprise.

Unfortunately for him, his agents were not as skilled as Raven, so the information he received was limited. Still, he felt the pressure, as he understood the idea of what happened and knew that their alliance was not that simple.

Another force that began to make their moves, was the head of the Nine Heavens pleasure house. Although she did not seek to antagonize Andrew, she did want to know the secrets of the dance room that she had been told by the owners and managers of the pleasure houses near the Heavenly Palace.

So taking advantage of the fact that the experts of the place were out, some of them mingled among the customers and experienced the dance room firsthand.

Unlike the owners and managers of the pleasure houses near the Heavenly Palace, they immediately noticed all the particularities of the dance room, but like them, the music was the only thing they couldn't decipher.

They tried to sneak behind the scenes to see if they could find out anything, but when they made a move, they suddenly found themselves at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace, and that frightened them because they did not feel how they were ejected.

Obviously, Andrew had noticed them. Andrew did not know who they were, but having control over the entire establishment, when they entered he noticed them due to their powerful aura, so he decided to keep an eye on them and the moment he saw them trying to sneak where they should not have, he expelled them.

These men, upon being expelled immediately returned to their boss and told her everything they had seen and experienced. "So, what do you think?" asked the mature-looking, but stunningly beautiful lady.

"Well, honestly, the so-called dance room, it's definitely a great idea, but we don't know how the music works," said one of them and the other added, "True, I've never heard of anything like that, but we can safely say that without it that dance room doesn't work."

"I see," said the woman thoughtfully and added, "I'm also intrigued as to how you got kicked out without being noticed." The two men blanched at the memory of that because they are both experts, and though not as strong as Castor, they are still strong enough to detect when attacked even by a powerful expert, so being ejected as they were, scared them.

"What do you recommend?", the woman asked and without hesitation, the two men answered at the same time, "Offering friendship is the best option." The woman was silent as she listened to them as if thinking about what to do.

After a few minutes of deep thought, she said, "Well, you may leave. Let others keep watch, you have been exposed." The men assisted and withdrew leaving the woman alone.

"This is interesting," the woman muttered as she was left alone. Anyone would think the woman was worried to hear what she said, but if they saw the gleam in her eyes, they would notice that worry was the only thing that could not be seen in them.
