With the resignation on their faces taken as acceptance of him going after the bounty he was sure they still felt he was not possibly capable of handling, Hal moved on to further inquiries involving any information that could prove useful to him in his pursuit of Red Beard's bandit gang.

Anne sighed,

"That... is a tricky business. For one thing, the bandit camp is always shifting in location and is always impossible to pinpoint.

And further attempts to do so further result in us falling into an ambush. We've lost quite a few experts that way.

Not to mention that on the rare occasion that we are actually able to drive attacking bandits back, for some reason, whenever we are lucky to catch one of the attacking bandits alive, they find the courage to keep all information they have hidden."

Hal narrowed his eyes,

"Hidden, how?" He asked.

She shrugged,

"For a bunch of cowardly, robbing bastards, they are incredibly tight-lipped and it is an entire chore to get them to open up on what they know.

Nothing works. Not even torture. They really seem to fear Red beard even though he is nowhere near them and nothing we do comes even close to that fear."

At that point, the rude nan seemed to think of something,

"Well, we got close at one point."

Hal looked up at him,

"YOU did?" He asked "I find that a little hard to believe"

The rude man turned red,

"Well, it was actually Anne and the ladies but that was only because it was their turn at that time"

"Pfft, yeah right" Hal chuckled with skepticism.

Anne seemed to recollect this event but it did not seem as satisfying to her as it was to the rude man,

"Yea we did get close. We went extreme in our torture and the bandit actually cracked. Unfortunately, his heart gave out before he could actually give us any useful information."

Hal furrowed his brows,

"Just like that?"

"Just like that"

'That seems incredibly suspect, for his heart to actually give out when he was about to confess' he thought.

'Or maybe it's not suspect at all. They did say they went extreme with their torture. Maybe he could not take anymore and an attempt to speak of something he had been hurt for while trying to hide became the last straw.' Grimoire said and Hal truly appreciated the counter-argument.

After all, he really could very well be over thinking things.

He took a deep breath and then let it go,

"So in order words, if I don't want to search aimlessly for a bandit camp which upon discovery, I could very well walk into a trap, the best thing to do is to capture one of the tight-lipped bandits and have him lead me to the camp.

Should be easy" he said and stood up to face the door.

"E-E-E-Easy?" Anne repeated with a speechless expression on her face which when Hal turned back to face them, was reflected on all the other faces.

"I'm sorry, I misspoke... I meant to say easy and fun" he said with a bright smile that lit up his handsome face.

So shocked were the ladies by his statement that they did not swoon to the words that came out of that face that was handsome beyond compare.

Meanwhile, Hal changed his trajectory to the bunch of parchments on a desk a few meters away from where the law enforcers were gathered.

It was a desk that was quite close to the door. And he riffled through them to find the one he was searching for; A map of the outskirts of Dell's gate city which marked the various bandit checkpoints.

He rolled up the map,

"I'll be borrowing this" he announced and walked out of the law enforcement building to find the most unpopulated alley in the city and enter his Harem space there.

Once inside the mansion where time flow sped up ten times, he spread his perception about the whole mansion and found most of the ladies were cultivating and the ones that weren't were busy with whatever pleased them.

However, it was one Lady in particular that piqued his interest and it was none other than Karmen who was clutching a robe around herself and looking more nervous than he had ever seen her.

The only other time he had seen her nervous was back in Holger estate when she was still a slave to be sold.

However, this time unlike back then, had a happy element about it.

Hal walked over to the room and without bothering to knock or announce his presence, he went right inside and could easily tell that apart from the robe, Karmen had nothing else on.

There was a vulnerability about her that instantly told Hal what this was about.

He smiled lightly while trying his best not to look too aggressive and worry her any more than she already was,

"They told you didn't they?" He said and knowing he was referring to Olivia and Lillian, Karmen nodded slowly,

Hal sighed but knew what the Blood knight commander needed at the moment was silence. Silence with which she could gather the courage to go after what she wanted.

And sure enough, eventually, Karmen stood from the bed and let the robe she held around herself drop to the floor where it pooled around her ankles.

Then she stepped out of them and towards Hal where she began to loosen his clothes with shaky hands.

Hal began to release his lust demon pheromones in the hope of wading some of the nervousness she was feeling, but Karmen upon perceiving it and having been told of its capabilities by her subordinates shook her head lightly,

"Not yet" she said

"Very well" Hal said with a smile and withdrew it back into his body just as she completely bared him for her eyes to feed upon and she flushed red at the sight.

With how hardcore she was in battle, it was easy to forget that Karmen was in fact still a virgin. Having not being used by the Holgers and at that time, not of enough value to be sold and then used.

She went lower and knelt before him to grab his hefty cock which even when flaccid was of incredible size and perfect shape. She had heard from the other two who were more experienced in the matter on how even when flaccid he was bigger than the average man.

She needed no comparison to know it was true.

Tentatively, she stretched her tongue and gave the sleeping organ a long lick. A lick after which, like many others before her, she fell in love with his taste.

Whatever she had been told of it did not do it justice at all and before she knew it, she was indulging fully in its delectable taste.

*Fap* *Fap* *Fap*

*Slurp* *Slurp* *Slurp*

She slobbered off Hal's cock with her saliva and was incredibly pleased with herself as it began to react to her ministrations and went from flaccid to half erect.

Hal for his part, enjoyed her ministrations while he gave her little tips on how to better enhance the experience.

For example, he cautioned her on the excessive or any use of her teeth for that matter and she took all his tips and worked hard to adjust and make it pleasurable for him.

For the man who saved her from slavery and with whom she saw a new future where she would undoubtedly become an expert and use her strength to accomplish his goals.

For the man who would always make her swoon.

For the man, she had given her all to...
