Harem app-Chapter 48: Negotiations

Lucia’s pov

My entire body was consumed by a pleasure that clouded my ability to think logically and composedly.

Normally, due to my high resistance, the aphrodisiac had never been an issue. However, because of that self-proclaimed blonde goddess, Liam had also become resistant, so I had to use a much stronger version of the concoction.

Even my memories of how I ended up there were slightly blurred. The strong scent of sex and sweat reminded me of what had just transpired.

In front of me, staring at me with passion and desire, was the one responsible for leaving me in that state. Though now more flaccid, I could catch a glimpse of the cock that had wrecked my poor pussy from the corner of my eye.

I sighed deeply, remembering the explosive pleasure we had indulged in repeatedly. It was then that I discovered just how enjoyable sex could be. More importantly, it was also how I wasted an unacceptable amount of time.

I thought I would deeply regret surrendering to pleasure in such a way, but in the end, it was worth it. Perhaps not the most logical decision, and I had undoubtedly failed to fully seduce and dominate Liam.

I sighed again... When had that little boy become such a man?

I stood up and used my powers to make him rise as well. Blackmailing hadn’t worked out exactly how I wanted, so I decided to back down temporarily. Then it was time to begin negotiations.

"Get dressed and take a shower," I commanded. "I’ll freshen up, and then we can have a proper conversation."

My legs trembled slightly with each step, and it was harder than expected to maintain my composure. Nevertheless, I changed into fresh clothes, and soon we were sitting across from each other at my dining table, staring eye to eye.

I took the first sip of tea, then took the initiative to start the negotiations:

"You have a power that is not of this world, correct?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer. And before he could attempt to deflect with any questions of his own, I pressed forward.

"Give up on denying it. I will say, I have demon blood, so I know a thing or another about the other world. And I know you got a power that allows you to win over women as long as you complete certain missions. And I know there’s a random element involved."

I enjoyed seeing the surprise in the boy’s eyes; it was kind of cute. It was refreshing to take control again, so I continued explaining everything I knew about his mysterious ability.

I didn’t know its origin, but it was activated through his phone, and I had already figured out most of its functions.

"And what do you want with all this?" he finally asked hesitantly. I smiled, satisfied.

"You need money, don’t you? You even have a significant debt under your name, but don’t you find that a bit strange? It’s almost as if the money has vanished from this world, isn’t it?" I remarked, rhetorically. freёnovelkiss.com

I wasn’t entirely certain, but my intuition and investigations gave me confidence: to use his power, he needed to spend money. Specifically, there seemed to be a purchasing element involved.

"I also know you can obtain ability from angels, demons and the dream creatures with that thing. So, how much would you need to spend to buy an angelic ability?" I demanded, leaving no room for hesitation.

"A new one? Why?" However, he seemed to be developing some resistance. "Well, it would be 50.000. And there is also a very expensive option."

"How much does this one cost?" I needed to extract the information as quickly as possible before his resistance to my powers grew too strong.

"100 million, but I can’t buy it yet."

"Why not?" A hint of impatience escaped into my voice, but I quickly corrected my posture. Once again, I reminded myself of my mantra: keep your emotions under control, keep everything under control.

"Because... Wait, you don’t know everything about my power?"

I sighed slightly in annoyance. I knew this would inevitably happen, but I hoped I could find out more. Still, I could count on my intuition to fill in the missing information.

"Do you still need to level up to unlock all your abilities?" I guessed, but I didn’t even need a verbal response to confirm it.

I thought about it for a moment. It was inconvenient, especially since I was in a hurry. Still, emotions wouldn’t get me anywhere, I just needed to use everything at my disposal to...

"Alright, would you agree to make a pact with me?" I suggested. "I need you to acquire a specific power and use it as I direct. In return, I’ll provide the money you need to purchase the ability, help you take down Zack, and assist in saving that girl... Helena, right?"

It was an overly generous offer, but I couldn’t afford to lose at that moment. After all, time wasn’t on my side.

"A pact?" He looked at me with suspicion.

I sighed. I didn’t want to reveal too much about my abilities, but there was no way around it.

"I can create a pact with other people. It works essentially as a binding agreement. If both parties agree, they’re compelled to adhere to the terms, no matter what. In other words, it ensures that both sides fulfill their promises. I believe that’s quite advantageous for you, isn’t it?"

Once again, his answer was slow to come, which was a bit frustrating, but there wasn’t much I could do. His resistance was likely fully developed, or nearly so. I no longer had the power to control him, but that wouldn’t be an issue.

"Alright, I don’t have a problem forming a pact, but I’d like to change some of the terms," he said. I stared at him intently, waiting to hear his demands. "First, I want you to guarantee that you won’t do anything to harm me or the people I love."

I thought about it for a moment before snapping my fingers. A black flame appeared in the air briefly, then dissipated, leaving behind a charred piece of paper floating in the air.

Clearly, that was the pact’s contract, or rather, it would be, as it was still a blank sheet.

At the end of the document, I added the clause: Until the end of this pact, any actions deliberately against each other’s interests or safety are prohibited.

Pact

"When they both say the phrase: ’body swap’ at the same time in a closed room and of their own free will, they took control of each other’s bodies for 5 seconds"

"Promise of mutual assistance in their goals."

"Until the end of this pact, actions that are deliberately against the interests and security of each other are prohibited"

When the desired ability is obtained and the Zack individual has been destroyed this pact will be terminated.

With the pact signed, only a few details remained to be discussed, such as the plans moving forward. Honestly, I already had a plan; all that was left was to get that nice kid to agree to everything.

Moreover, in a way, that battle would also be advantageous for me. Still, before anything else, I would try to buy the first ability, so I sent 50,000 to the account.

"First, let me take over your body and try to buy the ability."

Liam turned on his phone; we performed the ritual, and I was able to access the app. However, I didn’t waste time and quickly clicked to purchase, focusing on visualizing the desired ability.

Before I knew it, I was back in my own body. I asked with some hope, "What did you manage to get?"

"Uh... healing tissues, I think I can heal minor wounds, regenerate blemishes, burns, and things like that. I would need to test it better," he answered without confidence.

It wasn’t what I needed. In a way, it was close, but still... it definitely wasn’t what I needed. That’s why I needed Liam to keep evolving quickly.

I sighed once more; all that was left was to proceed with the plan when an idea crossed my mind as I remembered a certain problematic woman.

"Can you use your power now?"

"Y-yes."

"I understand," I stood up and took a few steps toward the kitchen, where I grabbed a match, lit it, and burned my hand with it. "I want to test the extent of this power. Heal my burn," I ordered.

The boy looked shocked by all of this but still ended up complying. In an instant, I was no longer in pain, and the wound was barely visible. Even so, it was clear that there were some limitations.

It wasn’t perfect, but that created an interesting possibility for the future.

"Would you be willing to do anything to help that Helena?"

"Yes." His determination was impressive. In that sense, I knew he would never let me down; he could be amazing when he wanted to be.

"In that case, I have a plan, but for this, I’ll need you to seduce a certain girl. Can you do that?"

"What? How did we get to this?"

"Can you or can’t you?"

"I don’t know, how would I know? But I can try, I guess..."

I sighed, seeing that the confident man from not long ago was disappearing. Still, deep down, I knew he would figure it out. So I continued explaining my plan.

ooo

A few days later

After confirming some crucial information, I thought it was time to go meet up with Lila and the others, I would need their help for my plan.

In my hand, I had a photo of our first target, the little idiot who was threatening Helena.

And that’s how I ended up in front of Isabel’s house.
