The Rise of the Black Plain

After a few minutes of traveling in their carriage, Minos and the two women from the Miller family finally arrived in the City of Waters.

The city was still bustling, and by the time they entered that urban area, a few other carriages were passing from one side of the town to the other.

And as they moved, Abby couldn't help but notice that the young Stuart seemed to be in a slightly better mood. After all, many women could easily perceive these subtle changes in the people around them...

"Why does it look like you're not coming here just for the night?" The blue-haired young woman asked, looking at Minos' relaxed face, which had his lips and eyes slightly positioned in a manner commonly seen in satisfied people...

She then thought of something while still facing her friend, standing right in front of her, with his face slightly turned towards the carriage window. 'This rascal! What is he thinking? I bet it must be something shameless...'

And after hearing Abby's question, Minos gave a gentle smile, realizing that his friend had noticed something. "Hehe, Abby, I did some business here in this town a while ago, so it's a good opportunity for me to see the progress of this..."

"Oh? A business, you say? But at this time of night, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to visit. Why don't you let to do this tomorrow morning? I'll go with you." She questioned him. 'You may have changed in many ways, but I can still tell when you don't tell the truth!'

Even though the young Stuart had absorbed much of Henricus Longus' knowledge, he couldn't eliminate all of his natural reactions from his body.

Just over two years had passed for Minos since he woke up!

And someone who had spent so much time with him before, as in Abby's case, noticing certain signs wasn't that difficult.

And realizing that Abby didn't want to let this matter drop, Minos couldn't help but be entertained by the situation. 'In addition to 'doing nothing,' you also want other people to follow your 'options'... You're so cute, Abby!'

"I don't think you want to go with me. It's not the kind of 'thing' you're used to doing." He said, trying to keep his expression unchanged like he was talking about something critical.

And while he was saying this, the carriage that their group was in finally arrived at the hotel, where they would spend the night.

Abby had blushed slightly at hearing what Minos had said, but she didn't respond. Instead, she simply followed him and Eda to that place, where they quickly checked into the hotel and took the keys to their respective rooms.

This place had plenty of places available, as this was not the time for anything special to happen in the Cromwell Kingdom, as it had been during Minos and Ruth's trip. So, there was no hindrance for them in this place, and quickly the group went to their rooms.

After reaching the floor where they were supposed to spend the night, Eda quickly went to her room, where she could have a few hours of rest. On the other hand, Abby was in no hurry, and she followed the young Stuart to his room while they were still talking.

Minos wanted to take a hot shower before he went out to see his acquaintances, but he didn't mind hanging out with his friend for a while. There were still many hours until dawn, so he had plenty of time...

"How is your family, Abby? I remember your mother was almost into the 6th stage of cultivation at the time we were at the Spiritual Academy." He said a few minutes after they were both there, sitting on a big red sofa in the middle of the living room of the apartment he had rented.

Hearing this, Abby smiled and said. "She already advanced to level 50, five years ago. My dad also got a breakthrough and is now at level 54."

Abby's father is an elder in the Miller family, of the group that controlled this power.

"Hmm, good to know. In the future, if you join my organization, you will need their help to avoid certain problems…" Minos said vaguely.

"What do you mean?"

However, young Stuart did not answer her question. He then got up from where he was and took off his shirt, showing his defined abs to Abby without any shame.

Seeing this, the young woman from the Miller family couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. Still, she also couldn't look away from Minos' well-built body.

At this point, the young Stuart was already about 1.9 meters tall, with a body proportional to his size, without being exaggerated in measurements but very well defined. Surely, he was the type that would make many women interested in looking at him or even touching his body.

And it was no different for Abby. Even as an 'untouched' young woman, it was difficult to ignore the natural senses of her body in response to the visual stimulation of this young man in front of her.

She then got up, alarmed. "What are you doing?"

"Hehe, you were surprised, huh? No biggie, I'm just going to take my shower." He said with a poker face.

"You can wait for me here. I'm not in the mood to go out yet. My business can be done a little later." He said that as he left that place and went straight to the bathroom of that apartment.

Minos didn't expect him to get anything out of Abby just for trying to seduce her with his body, but it didn't hurt to provoke her. She already knew pretty well what kind of business he would be doing later, so there was no reason for him to lie to her and pretend to be something he's not.

And while Minos took his shower, Abby had stayed there all this time, processing her friend's boldness. "He hasn't forgotten that idea... But if he thinks I'll fall into his arms easily, he's so wrong!"

"It's not just one body that will move my conviction!" She muttered while going back and forth in front of the bathroom door where Minos was.

And as she felt the heat on her face slowly decrease, Abby finally noticed that she had remained there when Minos had already finished his shower.

She then stopped pacing when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the young man who had just gotten out of the shower and was drying himself inside that bathroom.

The door there had been left slightly open.

Abby saw the young Stuart drying his hair with a white towel when she suddenly looked down at his lower region. "Ah!" She made a slight sound of surprise, which was almost immediately suppressed by one of her hands.

'Oh my! Are all men like that?' She wondered, frozen in front of that place, seeing Minos' younger brother.

And it wasn't long before he got into his underwear and walked out of that bathroom. 'Looks like you're shocked, huh…' He chuckled inwardly.

"What's wrong, Abby? You seem to have a fever. Let me check your temperature." He approached her and placed his hand on her forehead gently.

She stayed there when she lost her balance a little and used her hands to brace herself on Minos' chest. "I'm…Hah…I'm fine. I think I better go to my own room now."

However, the young Stuart didn't feel the young woman move as he hugged Abby's thin waist, leaning close to her ear and whispering something. "Are you sure about this? I can leave my business for another time..."

Meanwhile, the young woman's heart leaped at full speed, making her feel warm and slightly agitated. She could feel Minos' body heat enveloping her when the young man's face was right next to hers, in a position where she felt his breath.

Finally, Minos lightly bit Abby's earlobe, making her feel shivers all over her beautiful body.

However, rather than succumbing to temptation and letting things roll, Abby suddenly pulled away from Minos, agitatedly, as she said 'good night' and stalked out of that place.

Minos then muttered under his breath, looking at the place she had left and smiling. "As expected... Well, it's not like I was waiting for something to happen, haha."
