Doris was famous for her powerful mental spells in Eiseka. In addition, she had always looked down on Roddy, who was a "rich man," so she had never considered the possibility of failure.
Seeing that Roddy had fallen for her spell, she no longer had the charm on her face. Instead, she began to ask questions coldly.
"What did you come to Lacheman for?"
Naturally, Rody 'truthfully' replied, "Yes.
"To complete Her Majesty's mission. I'll make money if I can, try to open up trade channels, and … get a few more women."
His words made Evelyn and the others' eyelids twitch. Doris even cursed him for being a pervert. However, Roddy ignored it and replied with a blank expression, "But Lacheman doesn't seem to care about my team, so I have to find another way. Otherwise, I won't be able to answer to Her Majesty."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. A typical incompetent bureaucrat."
Jill snorted and leaned closer to look at Roddy. Then, she suddenly reached out and touched his chest. "But your body is quite sturdy …"
"Go away!"
Doris pulled Jill away, but she couldn't help but lick her lips. She swallowed and continued to ask, "What are you researching in the lab?"
"I'm just doing some basic experiments related to aquatic products. I've told Wizard Houdini that he'll help me edit the paper and publish it. He knows someone in Lacheman Fisheries. If the publication is successful, I'll be able to get a lot of rewards when I return to the Kingdom of Karen. "
"So you're just an academic liar. What paper … How can something like Lacheman Fisheries be called a paper?"
Evelyn smiled contemptuously. "I thought you had some skills. In that case, we don't have to worry about our plan."
After asking a few questions, Doris nodded and asked Evelyn and the others to leave the room. With a wave of her hand, Roddy, who had his "magic removed," fell onto the table with a thud. A few seconds later, he sat up slowly while rubbing his forehead. "Ouch … That hurts. Madam Doris, this wine doesn't have much strength, but it seems to be quite strong … "
"It's fine. Just drink slowly, Lord Roddy."
"Ah, where were we? That's right, Eiskar is very far away from here, right? The desert road must not be easy to walk on, right? "
"It's not as difficult as you think, but it's easy to get lost without a guide."
After that, it was just some superficial discussion. Roddy acted like a curious baby and asked all sorts of questions, lamenting that he had never seen a desert before. His seemingly unimportant questions were actually just to get information out of her. At this moment, Doris was extremely belittling him and did not realize that some of the questions involved the location and secrets of Eseka Kingdom. Thus, she unconsciously answered truthfully.
To Doris, Roddy was someone who would scram back to the Kingdom of Karen after completing his mission. Even if he knew the information about Eiseka, it would be meaningless.
Roddy did not forget to continue playing his current role after he got the upper hand. As he chatted, his eyes kept glancing at Doris's chest. Doris, who was thinking about how to get "Misha" into her hands, naturally would not reject him. However, she knew the principle of "step by step." She pretended to be shy and kept getting up to pour wine, purposely showing her deep cleavage in front of Roddy, causing him to accidentally pour wine on his lapel a few times …
However, this meal would eventually be over. Roddy felt that his acting was almost over. He pretended to be drunk, waved his hand, and said with a lisp, "I, I have to go first, or else I'll really cause trouble for you."
Doris had to discuss countermeasures with Evelyn later, and it was not appropriate for her to stay overnight and "learn from each other." However, looking at Roddy's behavior, she believed that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Thus, she went forward to help Roddy out of the hotel.
Although it looked like she was helping him, Doris's hands were really not honest. Roddy, who was pretending to be drunk, cursed in his heart. It's one thing for a woman to be in charge in Eseka, but how can she act like a hooligan like a man?
However, he could not dump Doris. Instead, he had to pretend that they were having an affair. Taking a few steps out of the hotel, Roddy said, "Let's meet again, let's meet again." His hands touched a few times without leaving a trace. It was only when they returned to their hotel that he waved goodbye reluctantly.
Turning around, Roddy staggered up the stairs. When he reached the second floor, his eyes immediately became clear. Obviously, the information that Doris had inadvertently revealed during their conversation was very important. Not only were they planning something, but their ultimate target was actually "Misha"!
Why would a group of desert natives have their eyes on the infected demon beast?
It's best to find a chance to ask about this indirectly … Roddy thought as he pushed open the door. He saw Akasha sitting on the armchair, looking at him with a rather sad gaze.
"You're back. How was your chat with the Tuck Tribe beauty?"
Roddy instantly felt his back drenched in cold sweat. It was an impromptu performance, and he had forgotten to inform her. What should he do now?!
He reeked of alcohol, and at the same time, he also had the fragrance of Doris's body. He really looked like a man who had just returned from a brothel and was faced with a table full of cold food from his wife … No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a heartless man.
What's more, he had laughed with everyone in the room about David being hit on by the Tuck Tribe woman. In the end, it had only been a few days … and he was hugging her to a hotel …
At this moment, Roddy really wanted to slap himself. Why did he act so pretentiously back then! Now, he really couldn't explain himself even if he wanted to.
Although he knew that Akasha wasn't the kind of person who would make a fuss without reason, it really wasn't going to be easy today.
He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it wasn't appropriate to explain in this atmosphere. This was almost the same as shouting "It's not what you think" after being caught cheating … It was obviously an act of courting death.
Roddy thought about it for a long time, and in the end, he still decided to "overpower everything". He didn't say anything and directly carried Akasha into the bathroom while she screamed in surprise.
"Aiya, what are you doing … Isn't the Tuck Tribe beauty's figure better than mine …"
Akasha was jealous, but after all, she had a submissive temperament. How could she really bear to push Roddy away at this time? And Roddy didn't answer her. He directly covered her little mouth and used a series of actions to prove himself.
It wasn't until Akasha's body went limp and she kept begging for mercy that Roddy explained the whole thing …
At this time, Akasha didn't have any resentment. She weakly punched him and pouted: "In the future, you have to tell me in advance, don't always make me guess this and that …"
"Of course, of course."
Roddy hugged this beautiful woman and agreed with a little guilt. Unexpectedly, after he said that, Akasha raised her head and kissed him — this was obviously forgiving him.
I won't court death in the future!
While Roddy was glad, he also secretly swore in his heart … Happiness didn't come easily, he didn't want Akasha to feel wronged.

As time passed, as the "Late Autumn Crown" approached, the major arenas in Lasiman City became more and more lively.
Because the population of Duriel City increased by 20% during this time, the fishermen of Lasiman City ushered in a "welfare period". Due to the large increase in demand for various types of fish, the selling price also rose a lot. This caused many fishermen to desperately fish in the open sea, hoping to earn more silver coins before the end of the "Late Autumn Crown".
Foster was a fisherman with the same idea.
He was also considered a little famous in Lasiman Port, and was called "Foster the Shark". This was because he had a very accurate grasp of the direction of the fish, just like a shark in the sea, he had a keen sense of smell. And because of this ability, he had accumulated more wealth than ordinary fishermen after more than 20 years of fishing — a large fishing boat.
Although it couldn't be compared to a flagship like the "Boratini", Foster's "White Pearl" was definitely the "big one" among the fishing boats at the port. The entire boat was 13 meters long, and when it went out to fish, it needed six crew members to accompany it. A casual wave of fish could be compared to the harvest of an ordinary fisherman in a week.
The salty sea breeze caused the sails to swell, and at this time, the "White Pearl" was continuously casting the net. As the captain, Foster was holding the rudder, his eyes fixed on the surface of the sea, trying to determine the position of the fish.
"It's really strange these days … Logically speaking, the number of fish is a bit too much."
He took a puff of the brass pipe in his mouth, and pressed the tobacco with his calloused fingers, but his eyes were somewhat worried.
"Captain, you're really strange. Isn't it a good thing to have more fish? This net is equivalent to three nets we've cast before! This time, we'll definitely make a lot of money! "
The crew members beside him obviously didn't understand. The weather was perfect, there were no waves on the sea, and there was an astonishing number of fish. Could there be a more comfortable day than this?
"You're still young, Charles."
Foster stared at the sea, and said with a hoarse voice, "The fish in the sea aren't stupid. It's normal that we can't catch any fish, but if we catch too many fish, it's not that we're lucky, it's that the fish aren't normal …"
"What does it have to do with us whether they're normal or not?"
"It sounds like it doesn't matter, because the fish we catch won't threaten the boat. But the reason why these fish are abnormal is that some of the big guys … have shown some abnormalities. "
"Big guys? How big? "
A crew member kicked the fishing net that hadn't been completely cast, and turned back to ask.
But Foster didn't answer him. Instead, he bit the tobacco pipe and suddenly turned the rudder to the left!
The fishing boat suddenly began to turn sharply, and the two crew members standing on the side of the boat almost fell into the water. They grabbed the Range Rover with pale faces and shouted, "What's going on? What happened? "
