Nina didn't even hesitate to tell them the truth, which made Melissa interested and Lucienne disgusted.

"You played around?" The Vampire asked, grimacing. "And you let him cum inside you?"

"How can I not?" Nina shrugged her shoulders and sat beside Melissa. The Succubus scooted over like it was natural for the bunny girl to sit beside her. "He was handsome and paid a lot. I don't even mind if I get pregnant by his child, but as a professional, I can't do that." She continued.

"Disgusting." Lucienne spat out.

"You should try it, Lucy~ It feels really good when you have the right partner. Right, Meli?" The bunny girl nudged the Succubus girl with her shoulder.

"I agreed." Melissa nodded. "I've had the chance to experience it with a good gentleman once, and I loved it. That time I thought of having his child, but alas, a Succubus can't get pregnant that easily."

"See?"

Nina chirped, having a smug expression as she looked at the Vampire girl.

"I prefer to drink blood than semen, thank you." Lucienne answered coldly, not batting an eyelid at their jokes. She then put on a serious face as she looked at the crowd. "Where is that human, anyway? He always arrived last."

"That human… Do you mean Raven?" Nina asked, tilting her head.

Her ears twitched as she tried to locate the man with her good hearing sense. It wasn't as good as a dog kin, but it was at least better than a human thanks to her skill <Hearing Enhancement>.

"Oh, he's already in this club and approaching us, but…"

"But?" Melissa asked curiously at Nina, who suddenly looked confused and closed her eyes.

"… Why is that customer with him?" She asked, looking at the crowd.

Just like before, the crowd suddenly parted, and this time three people could be seen walking… Or rather, the two of them were walking while one of them was crawling like a dog with a leash extended from the collar of his neck to a purple-haired girl's hand.

"Come on, dog. Crawl faster!" The purple-haired woman pulled the leash, and the man who crawled on the ground replied.

"Woof!"

The three leaders who sat around the VIP area were stunned at the sight. They were shocked to see their fellow leader act like a dog and follow an order from the woman.

Amongst them, Nina was the most surprised. Her gaze was planted on the blonde man who walked in front of the two of them, carrying an air of confidence with a luxurious sword strapped on his waist.

The air he exuded was totally different from when she saw him in that hotel. It was almost as if he was a different person.

And when that person stopped in front of their table, Nina laughed.

"Hahaha, what are you doing here, customer? This isn't the place a normal man can enter. Though, seeing what you did over there, I don't think you're normal at all."

In that instant, the silence that prevailed since their appearance was broken, and the other two leaders' attention was grabbed by something else. But they were all looking in the same direction, and that was at the man, and they were silent.

"This is the gathering of the city leaders, right?" The man, Arthur, asked a question instead of answering Nina's question. He looked at Nina, expecting her to answer his question.

"That's right. Do you need something from us?"

Nina wasn't offended by that. She knew that this man wasn't normal since he had visited her establishment earlier, but he never expected him to come to this club while dragging the leader of the biggest group in D, Raven Group, like a dog.

She also glanced at her fellow leaders at that moment, noticing that they went silent. The Vampire girl who went to proceed drinking blood in the glass was one thing, but she never expected Melissa to stare blankly at them.

'There is something more to this man.' She thought, putting her guard up.

On the outside, however, Nina kept her friendly smiling face that she had trained in her life working as a receptionist in her own establishment. It was the so-called business smile to hide her real expression.

"I came in the right place then,"

Arthur commented as he casually took a seat on the couch beside Lucienne, as that was the only place left to sit.

The purple-haired woman, Beatrice, stood beside her like a secretary while putting one of her feet on Raven's head, pushing him to the ground. For some reason, the leader who was feared for his strength didn't resist and instead…

'He enjoyed it?' Nina was quite surprised by the sight.

Next, she turned to Lucienne. Usually, the Vampire girl would trash around and curse someone who dared to sit beside her, but right now, she was awfully quiet and let Arthur sit beside her.

'Is she sick? Or did she fall in love at first sight with him? His sharp look and handsome features are really unique and rare in this city, but really? That Lucy, who even hit Raven without fear, didn't even say anything? It's really strange.'

All of this happened suddenly, but Nina kept her calm. The rules of the Underground City still apply to everyone. And among those rules, there was something that stated the leader could change at any time depending on an agreement or the previous leader's decision.

In other words, if Raven handed his rule to this new man, Arthur, then no one would complain and only accept his position.

Understanding that, Nina greeted him.

"I guess you're a new leader of Raven Group, then?"

Arthur nodded at the bunny girl, "I guess so."

His gaze went over Raven, who looked happy to be stepped at with a high heel worn by the woman in purple.

"If you think that trash can still be a leader while he looks like that, then feel free to think of me as an intruder and attack me. But if you rather have me as the new leader of that guy's group, which will happen in a few hours, then yes. I am the new leader of Raven Group."

"Hahaha, you have a good sense of humor." Nina laughed at what Arthur had said but had a different thought inside her mind.

'Shit! I had sex with a really dangerous man and didn't even realize it! This… This is really bad. I still don't know about his intention at all! But…'

Looking back at her life, she had always lived through dangerous situations. This time was no different, but she knew this man had a hidden intention of visiting them openly like this.

'The others still stay silent for some reason, so I can only count on myself to ask him. From our relationship earlier, I know he's a good guy as long as I don't offend him.'

"Now then, Mister. If you don't mind, can you introduce yourself to us? My friends here are pretty nervous, from their looks. Maybe we can get friendly and all, just like what we did earlier?" Nina spoke in a friendly tone and ended her sentence with a wink, giving a flirtatious atmosphere.

Arthur smiled from that, and he nodded in understanding.

"You're right. I should introduce myself." He said, crossing his legs.

With a smile, then he continued.

"My name is Arthur Vainglory, a Paladin of Castitas Church. My intention of coming here is to take over this city, and I won't take no for an answer. So, I'd like you girls to cooperate and become puppet leaders for me, okay?"

Nina immediately had cold sweat poured on her back after hearing his introduction. Paladin. That one word didn't do anything to her, but the atmosphere surrounding Arthur suddenly changed and became cold.

She had a hard time breathing. This situation was worse than she thought. Arthur just came and declared something that would definitely ignite the other two leaders' anger.

Knowing the other leaders' personality, which wasn't as chill as her, they would definitely lash out and create chaos in this place.

'I-I need to stop them! We can't fight this man!'

"Both of y–"

But before she could even finish her sentence, which she squeezed out her throat, Lucy answered first.

"I don't mind. Just don't destroy us, Vampires. We just want to live a peaceful life underground."

Nina looked at the twin-tailed Vampire girl with a look as if she had seen a ghost. Lucienne was trembling, most probably in fear.

Vampires had more sensitive senses than any other races living in the Underground City as they were a part of the Devil race living in the Sin Kingdom.

The fact that someone at Lucy's level was trembling in fear just showed Nina that this Paladin was more dangerous than she had originally thought.

"I also don't mind."

Then Melissa's answer came. The Succubus girl smiled widely as her gaze went toward the purple-haired woman.

"Serving a primordial Succubus is a greater honor than we could ever receive." Melissa continued with a dreamy voice; there wasn't even fear in her voice, only respect.

"Great." Arthur nodded, then his gaze was focused on Nina. "What about you, Nina?" He continued with a cold tone.

Nina couldn't stop shivering. The other leaders had agreed rather easily to his demand without even resisting! She couldn't imagine what would happen to her and her subordinates if she rejected his offer.

No, she knew about it. The example was right there.

'We will be treated like slaves.' She thought as her eyes wandered toward the leashed Raven.

Gulping nervously, she tried her best to maintain the smile on her face as she replied.

"Of course, we also agree! I love to serve a man as great as you, Sir Arthur~"

Her weapon was her seduction and her one-time relationship with Arthur. If she showed goodwill here, then…

'Maybe he will treat us better. I don't know what kind of Paladin has a maid slave and a scary woman with him, a primordial Succubus. I don't know what that is and how it is different from a normal Succubus, but my group and I will be slaves if I refuse.'

For that reason, she would follow the other leaders, who weren't right in their minds according to her and accepted his proposal to serve under him.

"The beast folks will happily serve under your rule, and I will be your ears and eyes."

"That's great news." Arthur smiled happily as he relaxed his hands on his lap.

The cold atmosphere surrounding him disappeared, and Nina exhaled in relief.

"With this, I don't need to erase this city from existence! I am glad you girls agreed easily."

Those sentences caused Nina to gasp, and her smile almost crumbled. She felt… relieved that she accepted his offer.

'We almost got fucked up.'

The Paladin was actually a crazy man who threatened the Border City's leaders and even made one of them his woman's pet. If such news were spread to the outside world, people would lose trust in him, but…

'We will not have a chance to even move our fingers on him. Meli and Lucy acted strange, and I still don't know why, but… I hope I don't make the wrong decision.'

With that, the leaders' meetings they held every 3 months greatly changed direction, and the three leaders were willing to surrender without any resistance, much to Nina's confusion.

One thing was clear… the Border City wouldn't be the same as before now that the power was concentrated in one man, and he controlled four leaders who acted as his puppets.

"Shall we talk about your new job then?" Arthur continued with a smile.
