BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 Why?
At the moment, only two chairs on the left side were occupied by a man and a woman - Adam and Amaranta. On the right side, all the chairs were taken. Adam smiled softly as he felt the numerous curious and irritated looks directed at him. Amaranta, on the other hand, showed no emotion and calmly sipped her tea.
To an outsider unaware of the true identities of these individuals, it might have seemed like a simple tea gathering. However, in reality, two leaders of prominent gangs stood before each other, fiercely negotiating each point.
"Black Lady... I presume this is the city\'s mayor?" Suddenly, the man in a mask and a black robe, the leader of the gang alliance called "Executioner," asked.
Amaranta placed her teacup on the saucer with a clink and turned to Adam, placing her hand on his shoulder. "This is Adam Harris, the mayor of Sedyon City," Amaranta introduced Adam. "Adam, meet Skull, the leader of the \'Executioner\' alliance. Shake hands."
With a gentle smile and a graceful hand gesture, Adam placed his hand on his heart and nodded, expressing his respect. Skull, in turn, responded with a similar gesture, displaying politeness and good manners.
The two gentlemen scrutinized each other. Adam wore his glasses, which allowed him to analyze all the gang members, including Skull. Adam noticed that Skull\'s magic channels were moving extremely chaotically.
"S-rank or higher..." Adam thought while maintaining a soft smile on his face.
However, there was another issue. Adam couldn\'t see beyond Skull\'s mask, which made him wary. It meant that Skull possessed a high-level magical item that completely blocked anyone from seeing his face.
Today\'s meeting was of utmost importance, with two influential leaders negotiating. If Adam hadn\'t been close with Amaranta, he wouldn\'t have been able to participate in these talks.
Both sides studied each other, but most of the attention was on Adam. Many of the gang members seemed intrigued by his identity.
"I have come to you... not empty-handed," Skull suddenly spoke in a deep and indifferent tone.
His hands swayed gently in a slow motion as he gestured, and five gang members stood up from the table. They left the hall and returned a few minutes later with ten large boxes.
"I\'m not very knowledgeable about gifts, so I may appear ignorant," Skull crossed his arms on his chest, emitting an imposing aura. "But I hope for your mercy. So..."
The boxes were opened with a loud thud, causing the chairs to wobble. The first thing Adam saw was iron bars enclosing figures inside.
"Please accept my humble gift," Skull said with a smirk, and Adam somehow sensed it even though he couldn\'t see his face. The corner of Adam\'s eye caught sight of numerous slaves, numbering over a hundred. And... all of them were girls.
There were many girls from different races, most of them young. Girls from cat, wolf, and tiger tribes...
Girls from the human race, some even noble ladies and female knights.
Girls from Elfheim, lovely elven maidens.
Adam leaned back on the chair, crossed his arms, and smiled softly. Chuckles resonated, and Adam joined the laughter, only intensifying the amusement of the gang members.
"This is the second part of our gift. It contains information about Silvana\'s plans and also details about Chaos Empire," Skull pushed the paper toward Adam using his magic.
Taking the paper in his hands, Adam raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. His eyelashes fluttered as he read the text written on the paper.
[In the upper echelons of nobility, there have been thoughts of accelerating the war with Elfheim. As a result, it was decided to bolster the army by sending elite reinforcements to the Three Borders. Elf Duke Ronald is preparing for a major military confrontation in its entire history.
Her Majesty, Queen Silvana, Elizabeth De Lilia Silvana, declared full-scale war against Elfheim and called her allies to a sacred war against the evil elves... that\'s the interpretation that the citizens of the capital learned during the daily assembly in the Palace of Wisdom.
On the other side, Chaos Empire is displaying suspicious activity. Being a closed country, inaccessible to the outside world and not allowing demons to venture beyond their territories, a large number of Demon-General level demons have been detected on Silvana\'s western borders.
Over 10,000 border soldiers were killed, but the demons showed no further activity. Even after Queen Elizabeth attempted to contact Chaos Empire for an explanation, she received a crude response:
"Interfere - die."
The border with Chaos Empire has been declared a dangerous territory and a zone of combat operations.]
"How intriguing... if I\'m not mistaken, Chaos Empire has never shown aggression toward the outside world since ancient times," Adam narrowed his eyes and bit his lower lip. "Judging by their behavior, it seems like..."
...they are searching for something.
But what exactly? Adam frowned, and his eyebrows knitted together. His muscles tensed as he struggled to understand Chaos Empire\'s intentions. This empire was the largest in terms of territory and possessed formidable power.
In ancient times, they had made the whole world tremble with fear. Adam couldn\'t even imagine that this empire would become active again. Lowering his gaze, he continued reading.
[Second Prince of Chaos, Lucius, appeared during a major clash between Elfheim\'s and Silvana\'s armies. The result: both sides were decimated. A surviving soldier from Silvana\'s side reported that Lucius was inquiring about something but couldn\'t remember it fully.
I doubt he wanted to interfere in the war, but such movements from the prince make everyone tense.
As a result, some other countries have also shown activity. Including Leoria, Ravenheim, Blood Empire, and Lycanthria... the most dangerous countries for humanity. Vampires, beastmen, werewolves, and witches...
Perhaps our world is changing, and Silvana may be to blame. I will keep an eye on their movements and report whenever possible.]
In the silence of the hall, Adam placed the paper on the table and closed his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest. The information was so crucial and heavy that he needed several hours of intense reflection to process it.
Amaranta took the paper in her hands and read it too, her reaction resembling Adam\'s. She furrowed her delicate brows and appeared concerned, especially regarding the part about Chaos Empire. It was evident that she was worried but for her reasons.
Adam could only sigh, feeling tired. The world suddenly began moving in an unfamiliar direction, and his sense of danger screamed for him to run. Run anywhere far away from this war and similar conflicts.
However, he couldn\'t act that way. It would be foolish to run from danger only to eventually die like a worm. The city of Sedyon was his haven, and he couldn\'t abandon what he had started. His only choice was to become stronger.
But how?
Although the "Seducer" class had helped him significantly, it had also become a limiting factor, preventing him from advancing to other classes. Gaining experience points by having sex might seem easy, but when he realized he had to sleep with women stronger than him, it became quite the challenge. He couldn\'t find so many women willing to sleep with a man weaker than themselves.
"Seduction... will be difficult. I need to think about finding new goals," Adam furrowed his brow and paid no attention to the ongoing negotiations.
Entering the system space, Adam saw his status.

[Level 16: (210/235)]
"Is there another way to increase my level?" Adam pondered.
Summoning the navigation panel, he moved to the [Hall of Meditation]. Crossing his legs, Adam sighed, feeling a headache. He had already meditated here today, so there were some consequences.
Focusing his mind, Adam entered a semi-conscious state. Memories from his entire life appeared in his mind, and he followed the path. The memories were enclosed in a sphere, and the further he walked, the more blurry the images inside the sphere became.
A cold wind blew... Adam felt the chill all over his body, but he continued walking on the path. He sensed that time was passing swiftly.
A snowstorm began. Adam was covered in thick layers of snow, but he kept going, and with each passing second, he felt his mind becoming clearer.
Heat... the weather suddenly turned unbearably hot, like a dreadful summer day. However, Adam continued walking.
His path was straight, and apart from the weather, there were no obstacles in his way. Adam walked and walked, feeling his mind emptying and the sense of tangibility disappearing with each step.
When he woke up, he found himself in a raging ocean. He was drowning and struggling, but the water\'s current was cruel and unyielding. Utilizing his magical energy, Adam strengthened his body and gradually started to float to the surface.
Every movement was accompanied by excruciating pain, but Adam was determined to overcome this trial. Suddenly, he heard a coarse and deep voice whispering to him: "Take... take..."
Memories of his past life flickered - a poor and cruel life. Every day, as a day laborer, he earned a mere pittance, which he spent on the treatment of "???" [name unclear], but he never gave up. His path was filled with trials, but he didn\'t give in.
The world was cruel, but who had it easy? From birth, your status was already determined, and the only choice was to follow the path assigned to you from birth. Living without worrying about tomorrow - a privilege of the wealthy.
"The world was never fair. How about taking everything from others for yourself?" a devilish voice whispered to him. "You are a demon, not a human. Why bother with principles and restraint? Demons are beings that revel in the moment and worship eternity. In their eyes, destroying a city for fun is a common affair. Why do you care about these worldly things?"
"I... don\'t want to become a demon," Adam said, shivering from the cold ocean water.
The devilish voice fell silent, only to return once again.
"Why?"
