Cleaver Of Sin

Chapter 748: Women’s Only Clothings [Golden Gachapon Bonus - ]

The morning sun finally arrived, and Asher could still be seen sitting in front of his television. After a while, he finally turned it off, it was time to properly explore what the Thalvorn Empire had to offer and showcase.

He took off his clothes and headed straight toward the shower, where he simply stood silently beneath the running water, allowing it to stream calmly down his back.

After a few minutes, he stepped out of the shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes. With that done, he opened his room door and stepped outside before heading toward William’s room. Although he had ignored them earlier during the night, did he feel bad about it? Definitely not. And would they be angry at him for it? Definitely not.

Asher already knew which room belonged to William since he had seen the room the boy enter previously. Arriving there, he simply pressed the bell and waited. Within seconds, the door slid open, revealing William standing there.

Seeing Asher, William immediately spoke, "I thought you were dead," his tone low and indifferent.

Asher simply walked past him and entered the room while replying casually, "I’ve risen from the dead then." The very first thing he noticed was the television currently playing a movie in the background.

"It seems you figured out how to operate the television," Asher commented as he casually sat upon William’s bed.

"It’s not hard to operate once you figure out what every button does," William replied while closing the door behind him before walking further into the room.

Asher merely nodded his head and didn’t say anything else for a moment.

"Didn’t you hear us knocking yesterday?" William asked as he walked toward the fridge and took out a drink.

"I did, but I simply ignored you guys. I was having private time with the technology provided," Asher replied honestly without even attempting to lie about it.

William merely nodded in understanding. His eyes shifted toward the gaming console as he spoke again, "Playing the games here is difficult. Although I’ve already figured out what every button on the pad does, I still get killed within seconds," he sighed lightly before taking another drink.

"You just need experience, that’s all," Asher replied calmly. Although he was very good at gaming, he knew very well that he was nowhere near the level of those unemployed people back on Earth who spent nearly every hour of their lives gaming online.

"Anyway, I came here so we can explore the Zero Rings," Asher spoke again. "If you’re ready, we can leave now, unless you don’t want to go, which is perfectly fine," his tone calm and relaxed.

"Let me change first," William replied flatly before walking toward the walk-in closet. After a few minutes, he finished freshening up and changing his clothes.

The two of them walked out of the room together before heading toward Finch and Ryaen’s rooms, inviting both of them to come along as well. As for the Prince, they didn’t even bother informing him.

But just as they were walking down the hallway toward the elevator, the Prince stepped out of his own room and flashed them a small smile. Apparently, it was simply a coincidence that they encountered him on the way.

With that, all of them entered the elevator together and descended toward the first floor before making their way toward the reception desk. However, the Hotel Manager wasn’t present anymore. Another staff member had already taken his place, while the Hotel Manager himself had seemingly returned to his original duties elsewhere.

"Good morning, how may I help you?" one of the staff members greeted warmly with a gentle and welcoming smile.

"We’ll be needing a cab or taxi, we want to explore around," Asher stated directly as he understood that hotels usually handled simple matters like transportation for their guests.

"Give me a few minutes please," the staff member replied before immediately picking up a phone and making a call right there at the desk.

After ending the call, she stepped away from the reception counter and spoke once more. "Right this way, please."

Asher and the rest followed after her as they exited the Gentle Hotel Skyscraper. A sleek black van was already waiting for them outside at the front entrance. As though sensing their arrival, the side door slid open automatically, revealing an extremely luxurious interior within.

Asher stepped inside first while Vaelric and the others followed behind him. Each of them found their own seat before the van smoothly rolled forward at a constant speed.

Noticing a small button positioned on his armrest, Asher pressed it curiously. The next instant, the outside world which had previously been hidden immediately became visible, making it appear as though the van itself had turned transparent.

They didn’t even need to provide instructions to the driver since the hotel staff member had already informed him of their destination earlier.

Finch curiously pressed another button beside his seat, and immediately the chair hummed softly before reclining backwards. A moment later, the seat itself began massaging him automatically. Finch immediately sank deeper into the chair while enjoying the sensation comfortably.

"So... where to first?" Ryaen asked while sitting elegantly with her legs crossed.

"Don’t know," Asher shook his head lightly. "Wherever the driver takes us, we simply go," he replied calmly.

Within several minutes, the van gradually rolled to a stop. The automatic door slid open, and Asher alongside the others stepped out. They had arrived before another towering skyscraper. Although it wasn’t nearly as tall as the Gentle Hotel itself, the structure still stretched impressively high into the sky.

The driver didn’t bother stepping out of the vehicle. He wasn’t a tour guide, merely a driver, and since he wasn’t being paid extra to explain anything, he naturally decided not to do more work than necessary.

Asher and the others simply entered the building themselves. The moment they stepped inside, an entirely new atmosphere unfolded before them. Ahead of them was a massive escalator which they stepped onto without hesitation, arriving shortly afterward at what appeared to be a gigantic shopping floor.

People moved everywhere in enormous crowds, thousands constantly coming and going. Noise filled the air endlessly, yet strangely enough, it felt like a form of controlled chaos rather than disorder.

Various clothing brands could be seen everywhere while mannequins stood elegantly within glass displays, dressed according to the unique fashion culture of the Thalvorn Empire.

Everyone present here had most likely been wealthy since birth. They had all undoubtedly experienced countless shopping sprees throughout their lives already. Yet despite that, the designs, lighting, architecture, and dazzling colours of the various stores still gave William and the others an entirely different feeling from anything they had previously experienced.

Ryaen was the very first to move.

Without hesitation, she immediately entered the nearest clothing store, her eyes sparkling brightly as she walked toward a clothing rack filled with various female outfits arranged neatly upon wheeled displays. At this moment, she looked nothing like the quiet and reserved Ryaen who usually carried herself with elegant composure.

Apparently, the store only sold women’s clothing, but since they had all arrived together, the boys naturally decided to follow her inside as well. Since they were within a completely foreign Empire, they all agreed it was safer to remain together instead of separating individually in case trouble arose unexpectedly.

Noticing Ryaen’s entrance, one of the female staff members within the shop immediately stepped forward with a professional smile.

"Welcome to Women Only Clothings, what would you like?" her voice charming and polite.

Ryaen remained silent briefly before finally replying.

"As you can probably tell, I’m from another Empire, so I need you to style me according to the Thalvorn Empire’s clothing culture. I’ll take it from there afterward," she explained calmly.

The staff member nodded professionally, and with that, she walked away alongside Ryaen deeper into the store.
