《Solitary Sovereign》20. Information Gathering
Advertisement
Devanshu slinked through the dark streets eventually reaching a very bustling part of the otherwise silent city.
The dazzling and colourful lights lit the wares in a flattering light, the people who wandered here couldn't move their eyes from the generous bosoms of the women that lined the approach.
They leaned off ledges, soft valleys that promised heaven. Some beckoned with gusto, biting their lower lips, a sultry gaze, maybe a snow white thigh exposed to the patrons hoping they would catch their eye.
In the red light district, nobody really cared if the women volunteered or were forced. Some new women had some spirit left in them but some days of hard fucking and addictive drugs snuffed out all signs of resistance, leaving them with hollow eyes and insatiable hunger.
This wasn't really a new or shocking sight for Devanshu as he had witnessed it all many times before but the smell of cheap perfume that permeated the air and what it represented never failed to nauseate.
Dodging the more aggressive ones, Devanshu soon reached a lavish and colourful building which had the best location on the whole street.
Entering inside, Devanshu looked completely unperplexed as he was already familiar with the place, he glanced at the familiar beautiful receptionist and asked.
"Is the Madam in? I'd like to meet her."
The receptionist smiled knowingly at Devanshu as she pointed him towards a room in the back. The smile of the receptionist unsettled Devanshu but he didn't say anything and just moved forward.
Crossing the hall and passing through a lavish corridor, he reached the room in the back which was his destination. He knocked on the door and waited.
"Devanshu, is it? Come in."
A pleasant sounding voice resonated from inside the room, which only filled Devanshu with trepidation.
Not surprised by the abilities of the woman to already know of his arrival because of her divine sense, he hurriedly wiped his face and straightened his back before opening the door. What greeted his eyes was a very extravagant room, with luxurious furniture.
In the center of the room was a giant canopied bed and in the center of the bed was a woman lying lazily with her back on the headress.
She wore clothes, thin perforated silken bodice which was almost see through and was tied together with flimsy ribbons.
The clothes seemed to be optimised for quick removal and to be easy to tear.
The black haired woman looked to be in her mid-thirties, which only added a mature charm to her otherwise young appearance. She smiled somewhat condescendingly as she suddenly said.
"I never thought that you'd ever walk to me yourself, did you miss me that much?"
Devanshu was mentally disgruntled, he knew that the madam wasn't anything good, she had very 'special' tastes which made him disliked her but his dislike wasn't something that he openly displayed on his face but he still had thoughts like the one he was having right now.
If I didn't need you right now who would put up with a sick woman like you, beauty is wasted on you

but he got himself in control and followed up after taking a loud gulp.
"Madame, I require some information, if you promise me I can go along with any fantasy you have."
"So you're finally going to willingly follow what I tell you for once? I can tell you whatever you want unless it's too excessive."
The woman said as she now sat on the side of the bed with her legs crossed. One strap of her black flimsy see through dress fell below her shoulder which made her seem even more erotic. Her eyes shone with excitement as she surveyed him and ran her red tongue along her lips.
This further increased her charm to the point that few men could resist her. She pointed one of her feet towards Devanshu as she said.
"You know what to do."
Although Devanshu disliked the woman it didn't mean that he disliked her beauty, he still was very much attracted to her body.
Still being a juvenile boy, he couldn't withstand her charm and coquetry. He felt his loins, astir with yearning and his heart beating faster. As he approached her, she added
"Wait, take off your clothes."
After two hours, the madam dug her nails into Devanshu's back, arching, her breasts rising and falling heavily, fresh off her throes of passion.
Resting her chin on Devanshu's shoulder, she whispered,
"You really are the best, none of the other children can be compared to you. If only you'd always follow my orders like a good boy too."
Her hands wandered along his body, she purred beneath him, "I will have you, sooner or later. I just wish that you'd never grow up."
The madam kept holding Devanshu in her arms as she finally talked about the matter for which Devanshu had approached her.
"Since I'm satisfied, I'll answer any questions you have."
Devanshu's face took on a serious look as he rolled off her, panting and feeling satisfied despite himself.
He stared at the wall in front of him, this woman always made him lose his composure, he was always cautious with her as his head told him what she was, a despicable peadophile.
Paying attention to not show his feelings in his tone, he said
"I've heard that Su Libai patronizes your brothel. I need information on him, whatever you've got. I'll be grateful if you can help me."
The madams hands tightened around Devanshu as she whispered sensually into his ears.
"I'll do anything for you, if it makes you feel grateful."
Although such sweet words would usually be effective on any of the naive kids the madam usually picked up from different places, these weren't really any successful in creating even a ripple in Devanshu's heart.
He just waited to hear the information on Su Libai which might be helpful in increasing the chances of Yun Fei in the competition.
Since all the 5 people were seeded, he wanted Yun Fei to have some preparation if he encountered a formidable opponent before he reached the semi finals.

"Su Libai practices the techniques of the Lotus branch of the Immortal Illusion Sect.
The basic techniques of this branch are all aura and eye based but this branch only shows off its real power once sound gets involved.
I don't think most people know this but Su Libai should've already reached the point where he can incorporate sound into his illusions."
The Madam then cursed a little angrily as she thought about Su Libai's behaviour earlier.
"That brat, using his bamboo flute on the girls in the establishment. Did he think that I won't notice. These spoilt kids with golden spoons up their asses just know how to stir up some trouble.
Stupid bastard kept using his background to pressurise me. Does he think everybody is afraid of him. If I didn't have to bind my hands, I would teach him a lesson."
She looked towards Devanshu and once again continued with explaining about his abilities.
"He probably has only just reached that level, but that doesn't make the technique any less impressive.
The sound of the flute doesn't require you to even hear it. It will work even if you close your ears, the standard way to counter the sound techniques of Immortal Illusion sect is just to stop the tune as soon as possible or disrupting the playing."
Devanshu heard the information with a serious face as he memorised her every word.
The madam continued
"This is the fearsomeness of the techniques from the big forces, although many people have heard about them, there are very few counters to them and that information isn't readily available.
The cultivation manuals and the techniques are what really set an exemplary organisation apart from a mediocre one.
Immortal Illusion sect is one such sect, I would suggest you to not take any rash actions against people with backgrounds even if you have enemity with them."
Devanshu acted a little flustered as he clarified, "I don't really have any enemity with Su Libai, it's just that I can profit with this information."
The madam just glanced at him and then grinned devilishly as she acted like she had just remembered something else and said.
"Now that I think about it……. I do know about one of his weaknesses, maybe it could help you?"
Devanshu was listening avidly and with full attention, hearing the madams words he blurted out.
"Really? What is it?"
In a mirthfull tone the madame continued, "He doesn't have….. your stamina."
Her soundless hand snaked around him fondling his member.
"Did you really think it would be that easy."
This women is too perverted thought Devanshu as he complied with her demands and they once again shuffled on the bed.
After he worked her over for another hour, she revealed some more information about Su Libai. Devanshu was finally satisfied with the amount of information that he had recieved and decided to make his exit for the night.
As the madam slept satisfied on her bed, He wore his clothes and exited the room but he did so only after he looked at the sleeping madam as he thought
Although I am getting pushed around by a mere foundation establishment level cultivation now, this won't be the case for too long.
Ah well, it wasn't too much and the information I recieved should be worth trusting. With her Foundation
Establishment level cultivation she doesn't really have any reason to lie about the information to me.
It was late night, or rather early morning as Devanshu walked out of the room. He was somewhat tired which showed on his face, stretching his body to break out of the drowsiness he suddenly turned around as a quiet whisper entered his ears.
"Devanshu, I told you to never come here again. Why do you do this? I thought you didn't need to do this anymore, are you in need of some money?"
Devanshu smiled pleasantly as he turned around to face the owner of the sweet sounding voice, looking at her questioning look, he answered in an equally quiet voice.
"Big sister, I'm sorry for ignoring your advice but it's alright. Since I needed some information, I can put up with her."
The beautiful woman gazed at Devanshu with a gentle look filled with anxiousness as she voiced her worries.
"Your circumstances have made you grow up too fast but don't forget that you're still a little kid. Listen to your big sister and avoid the madam, she isn't as harmless as you think she is, it can turn very dangerous if you keep involving yourself with her."
Devanshu was going to list off some assuring excuses and empty words but a daintly hand stopped his lips from opening.
"I need you to promise me.... Promise me that you will never involve yourself with her ever again."
Touched by her care and concern, he didn't make any excuses to her and just nodded.
"I don't want you to turn into something like me, a doll with no choice of her own," she added; her voice a little bitter and desolate.
Looking at her melancholic look, he raised his voice,
"Big sister you don't have to worry about me anymore, things are going great. Don't lose hope and wait for me, I'll definitely take you away from here. Afterall a life debt cannot ever be paid."
"Shhh, you owe me nothing. Just remember your promise."
Saying this she turned around in a flourish of robes and walked off.
Devanshu looked on as she disappeared from view.
I must help big sis as soon as possible. If she had not treated my wounds on that day I would surely have died and become feed for strays.
Since she has helped me acquire a new life, I will repay the favour by freeing her from her own shackles.

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.
