Perfect World [EN]: Chapter 482

“Who the hell is that?”

Even Beomseok seemed curious, turning around amidst the host’s distraction. It was a young woman with red hair, someone vaguely familiar.

‘Could it be… Rosa and her friends?’

Rosa and her friends were the women he had spent the night with during the World Cup. He never imagined meeting them again after their one-night stand. He knew they were wealthy, renting the most luxurious VIP suite for a month, but he didn’t realize they were this influential.

Just then, a well-dressed old gentleman with graying hair approached him.

“Are you Gladiator Oh Beomseok?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Our Miss Rosa and her friends wish for you to stop.”

Beomseok glared at him with sharp eyes.

“What do you mean?”

“They want you to give up on this auction.”

“Hmph. Are you kidding me? I can never give up Prescica.”

“I didn’t say you should give up Prescica, though…”

Beomseok’s face softened as he looked at the old gentleman.

“Then what do you mean?”

“Our ladies don’t particularly want Prescica.”

“Then why did they participate in this auction?”

“I’m not sure about that. However, it seems they want something from you, Mr. Beomseok.”

“So, can I interpret that as if I grant their wish, they will hand over Prescica?”

“Yes, and very cheaply too.”

Beomseok tapped the table and subtly turned his head towards Rosa, unsure of what to do.

If this old gentleman was lying, he would foolishly lose Prescica. But thinking about it, it was unlikely they really wanted Prescica. Although they enjoyed gladiatorial matches, they wouldn’t spend 10 billion Crang [currency in this world] to bring her here.

‘What should I do? Should I just give in?’

But even for him, more than 10 billion Crang was too much. He confidently declared to Julian that he would pour all 32 billion Crang, but that was just talk; he never imagined he would actually do it. He estimated Prescica’s value to be around 7 billion Crang at most.

“What if I still want to try?”

“It will probably be difficult. You are alone, Mr. Beomseok, but our ladies are three. They may not be famous, but they possess unimaginable real estate and wealth. Let’s just go smoothly. We only need to get what we want; there’s no need to risk a big loss.”

Beomseok pondered for a moment and nodded. If they were strangers, he might fight to the death, but they were once women he had spent the night with. Though he felt resentful, he was willing to step back for the sake of their past.

“Well, then I’ll yield for now.”

“Hehe. Well thought out. It will be a decision you won’t regret.”

Beomseok nodded, and as the old gentleman returned, he sat with his arms crossed, maintaining silence. His mind was complicated. He didn’t know what Rosa wanted, but he needed to come up with a plan.

Thanks to this, the auction soon ended, and Prescica went to Rosa.

‘Sigh~ This is driving me crazy. I’m really sorry.’

Beomseok, seeing Prescica’s resentful gaze, subtly averted his eyes. The person who bought her was Rosa. Although there was a way to make another man her virtual master, she wouldn’t be happy with a woman as her original master. Yet, Beomseok, who had said he would definitely buy her, gave up on the auction this time. Naturally, he was bound to be resented.

Rosa, with her red hair flowing, approached him.

“Long time no see, Mr. Beomseok. It’s really nice to see you.”

“Nice or not, what’s going on?”

“Let’s talk about that later. Let’s go. We have a lot to talk about.”

He noticed a little girl hiding behind Rosa and relaxed his expression. She looked about five years old and was hiding in her mother’s arms, seemingly scared.

“Well, alright. Where shall we go?”

“I’ve reserved a place at a nearby cafe. Let’s go there.”

“Okay, let’s do that.”

Beomseok sighed deeply, followed Rosa out of the auction hall, and soon left the Civic Culture Center. He quickly sent Theresa back with Julian, as her relationship with Rosa could cause problems with her favorability, so it was better to send her away.

Beomseok drank from the water glass in front of him and opened his mouth first.

“How did you find out I was here?”

Rosa, who had ordered tea, stared at him intently.

“We didn’t know either. It was a coincidence. Actually, we came to buy a personal swordsmanship teacher for Jelsi.”

Rosa stroked the child’s head, and Beomseok learned that the little girl’s name was Jelsi.

“Hmph. Impressive. Hiring a World League gladiator as a swordsmanship teacher.”

“Our Jelsi is precious. She will become a professional gladiator in the future, so we can’t have her tutored by a mediocre teacher.”

“Oh, is that so? Then why did you interfere with my auction when you only needed to buy Jelsi’s swordsmanship teacher?”

“Well, this morning, our butler saw you in the gladiator waiting room and told us you desperately wanted Prescica. So, we changed our plans. We suddenly became greedy.”

Beomseok frowned. He never imagined that what he said in room 312 would be conveyed to Rosa.

“What greed?”

She pointed to Riley and Effrey, who were sitting on either side of her, and said,

“Actually, we really love gladiatorial matches. So, we wish for our children to become great gladiators.”

“Then just have them trained, can’t you?”

“But the problem is that a great gladiator needs an outstanding physique. Unfortunately, the genes of the three of us aren’t very compatible with body modification.”

Beomseok, roughly grasping their intentions, narrowed his eyes. They wanted his genes.

To have high growth potential, the traits of the parents were very important, and he possessed the best physique. Thanks to that, he was constantly approached by beautiful women wanting to have talented children, but he never expected it would come as such a challenge.

“You… want to have children?”

“Yes, you understand very well. That’s exactly it.”

Beomseok didn’t particularly deny it. He hadn’t asked them to have children, but it was a wish he would have granted if they had asked. It was unsettling to have to agree in this situation, but he couldn’t refuse since Prescica was at stake.

“Well, if you wish, I shall do so.”

“Thank you so much. I knew you would agree, Mr. Beomseok. Hehehe.”

Beomseok raised a finger and presented his conditions.

“However, there are conditions.”

“Yes, tell me.”

“The children must be born naturally.”

Rosa nodded, as it was what she desperately wanted. She felt that raising a child born through love would be more affectionate. She couldn’t do that with Jelsi, and she always regretted it.

“And one more thing. It’s not just one child.”

“Not just one?”

“Until a child capable of growing into a World League-level gladiator is born, you must have children every time you are fertile. That means you come to me as soon as you are able to conceive again.”

Rosa tilted her head at those words. It didn’t make sense.

“But the age for body modification surgery is at least 20 years old, when they become adults, right? Until then?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Rosa looked at her friends, Ripley and Effrey, with a troubled face. If what he said was true, they would be stuck giving birth for 20 years. Roughly estimated, it would be ten to a dozen children.

“Does it have to be that way? Even if we only have one or two children, can’t we just keep giving them body modification procedures until they get the desired abilities?”

“That’s not true. Who knows? Maybe all the children born will inherit your traits significantly. Then you won’t be able to achieve your goals, and you’ll suffer a great loss in today’s deal.”

“That’s true, but I’m a bit worried.”

Beomseok glared at them with sharp eyes. The condition he had just presented had to be passed.

“Or did you come here to mess around with Prescica today without even having that resolve? This is absurd.”

“N, no, it’s not like that, but…”

“Then do it. Frankly, it’s not a loss for Rosa, Ripley, or Effrey, is it?”

Rosa, after exchanging glances with her friends, nodded. On closer inspection, it wasn’t a loss.

“Okay. Since Mr. Beomseok is being so proactive, there’s no reason for us to refuse.”

“Hehe. Good. Are there any other conditions?”

“No, there’s still one more thing.”

“Yes, tell me.”

“Please teach our future children swordsmanship and be their guardian. So that they can become great gladiators.”

Beomseok immediately nodded. The children born from her would be his own. He would do anything they wanted.

“Alright. I’ll do that. Now, let’s talk about Prescica’s price. How much would you be satisfied with?”

“The starting bid of the auction, 4.2 billion Crang.”

Then the amount they would lose was 5.8 billion Crang. Divided by three, it was only 1.9 billion Crang, but it was still a considerable amount. Since he hadn’t suffered any losses, it was better to agree without hesitation. Prescica’s estimated price was originally 6 billion Crang. He was gaining 1.8 billion Crang.

“Alright. I’ll do that. So, is everything settled now?”

“Yes. We have no complaints.”

Beomseok smiled contentedly and stood up. It was a really strange trade negotiation, but he was happy because he had achieved good results. Today, he had elevated three local girlfriends to the level of wives, and he was able to purchase Prescica at a very low price.

“Well, then let’s go to Prescica. We should probably finalize the deal today.”

“Right away? You seem quite eager?”

“Hehe. It’s almost the season. I want to take her quickly to strengthen our organization.”

“Ah, I see. Alright.”

Afterward, they went back to Prescica, who was waiting in the auction hall. She had been quite upset until then, but after hearing Beomseok’s explanation, she was delighted and hugged him. It was because she didn’t have to have a woman, Rosa, as her master. She just needed to have a proper master, no matter the process.

A hotel in Senoside. Beomseok, riding in the elevator, gazed at the four women hugging him with a satisfied expression. It was Rosa, Effrey, and Ripley, along with Prescica, whom he had purchased today.

‘Hehehe. Prescica is finally mine….’

Prescica was ranked 4th among gladiators, but she possessed outstanding skills that couldn’t even be compared to Rakami, who was ranked 5th. With her recruitment, the strength of God’s Knights was now unmatched by any other team, so they could aim for the championship in the next season.

But now, his true interest was Prescica herself. With her beautiful appearance and perfect figure, she would please him tonight. Moreover, Rosa, Effrey, and Ripley were with him today. They had even sent Jelsi with the butler, showing a very proactive attitude.

As the elevator doors opened, he, with four women in his arms, went to find the hotel room he would be staying in tonight with a triumphant expression.

“Alright, everyone, let’s go in. Prescica, come in too.”

Beomseok, entering the room, looked around and smiled contentedly. The splendid decorations, the antique bed, and the furniture. There was nothing he didn’t like. The accommodation fee was high, but it seemed worth it.

He opened the bathroom door and smiled brightly. The spacious bathtub caught his eye. It was bubbling as if prepared in advance, and there would be no problem for four of them to enjoy a bath in there.

Prescica subtly clung to his back and lowered her head.

“B, Beomseok-nim [term of respect]. When will you start?”

“Hehe. What’s the rush? Let’s wash up first.”

Prescica glanced at Beomseok with a subtle gaze and entered the bathroom. She needed to groom herself neatly before being in his arms. That way, she could be loved.

Beomseok, looking at her, gestured to Rosa.

“Rosa, let’s wash together. The bathtub is quite spacious.”

“Hehe. Let’s do that. Girls, let’s go.”

Rosa, smiling subtly, followed him into the bathroom with Effrey and Riley. Having experienced him once before, she could anticipate what would happen in the bathroom. He didn’t hesitate to embrace women in any situation.

The women, taking off their clothes and transforming into their natural selves, began to shower one by one.

“Mr. Beomseok, I’ll go in first.”

Rosa, having finished showering after Prescica, soaked herself in the bathtub. The bathroom was spacious, but since it wasn’t a public bathhouse, there were only two showers, so he, being a man, was pushed to the last.

He cast a lecherous gaze at Rosa’s body and swallowed hard as he looked at Riley’s figure, who was showering. The sight of her long, wet hair swaying back was so attractive.
