268: Chapter 150, The Magical Library_1 268: Chapter 150, The Magical Library_1 In front of a woman, men always like to show their charming side, especially in front of beautiful women.
Watching a group of nobles fawning over the singing maidens, Hudson quietly chose to be a bystander.
One night of indulgence is easy, but the price is too cruel.
The married nobles don’t care, as it’s just a game to them, and adding a bit of romance doesn’t harm anyone.
As a single noble, Hudson simply couldn’t follow suit.
If things accidentally went too far, and someone demanded he take responsibility, it would be extremely awkward.
Such things had happened before.
To marry into a wealthy family, employing some cunning tricks is all too normal.
The success rate may be low, but there are still cases of success.
The singing maidens don’t aim for minor nobles or married ones, but for those higher up, it’s a different story.
This could be seen in the way they treated different people differently.
Unfortunately, those men dominated by lust never considered it much, just looking for a romantic encounter.
Regrettably, their opponents were too powerful, all painstakingly trained to win men’s hearts.
They mastered what men are thinking.
The harder they try to get something, the less likely they are to get it.
By contrast, some singers would occasionally approach Hudson, who remained unaffected.
The excuse was, they were attracted by the heroic figure of the Earth bear.
But the question is, when did Belsden ever play the hero?
Apart from this, there were nobles like Viscount Caryo and Viscount West, surrounded by an entourage of ladies.
Although these men were lecherous, on the whole they were mostly restrained.
While they didn’t refuse the temptation that came to them, they didn’t recklessly pounce on it either.
Whether it was due to extensive exposure or professional training, these noble children showed much stronger resistance to beauty than ordinary people.
However, this didn’t include Isabel.
In the face of this exceptional woman, the nobles could not resist.
Hudson even saw some of the noble children propose to her on the spot.
The result was, of course, obvious, they were simply given a polite refusal.
“What’s the progress?”
A cold voice sounded in her ear; Isabel turned her beautiful eyes and glared at him.
However, her fierce gaze couldn’t help but reveal a kind of tender affection.
Obviously, she had incorporated allure into her very bones, and every frown or smile was seductive.
Which normal man could withstand it?
“Shadow Kill, have you lost your mind?
There is an Earth bear in the camp.
If you sneak in at this time and Belsden…”
Before Isabel could finish her sentence, the shadow man interrupted, “Don’t worry, the organization’s knowledge of the Earth bear is far more profound than yours.
I sneaked into your tent, not Master Hudson’s.
The lazy Earth bear doesn’t have the habit of prying everywhere.
Unless Master Hudson is obsessed with you to the extreme that he would ask the Earth bear to keep an eye.
Even if I am discovered then, you can surely handle it.
After all, I am now ostensibly a servant of the singing maiden group.
It is quite reasonable for me to have some connection with you!”
Hearing this answer, Isabel rolled her eyes unamusedly and snapped, “If you are so capable, why can’t you handle it yourself?
Why do I have to do it?
I’m little and unlearned, unable to bear such a heavy responsibility, and failed to win him over.”
Half of her anger was directed at Shadow Kill, while the other half was directed at Hudson.
A gorgeous beauty had thrown herself at him several times, yet he remained indifferent.
If Isabel hadn’t been sure that Hudson had physically responded but suppressed it with pure willpower, she would have doubted whether Hudson was a real man.
“In this world, there are men that even you, Isabel, can’t handle?
That’s truly a wonder!”
The Shadow Man said emotionlessly.
However, this scene fell into Isabel’s eyes, making her open wide in surprise and curiosity.
Now she finally understood why she couldn’t seduce the Shadow Man.
Turns out this guy isn’t a real man.
“Stop staring and remember your mission – to find out as soon as possible whether Viscount Hudson has the Blood Moon Horn.”
The Shadow Man reminded her.
“I don’t need your nonsense, I know my mission.
But Viscount Hudson is not easy to deal with!
Although he is already interested, he still suppresses his desires and looks unfazed.
You know how perverse nobles can be.
Some ruthless ones, to temper their spirit, can even …”
Before she could finish, Isabel stamped her foot in frustration.
Deep down, she was worried, hoping that she hadn’t run into another weird one!
…
With a large group of knights escorting them, the journey went smoothly all the way.
Not even the most desperate mountain thieves or bandits dared to stand in their way.
Upon reaching the capital, in an air of reluctance, they bid farewell to the ladies of the singing maiden group.
Welcoming Isabel’s resentful gaze, Hudson had a feeling that things wouldn’t end so soon.
Is she into him?
This was rather odd.
He didn’t deny love at first sight, but it would be hilarious if a woman from the entertainment industry fell in love at first sight.
In appearance, Hudson was just an average man.
He wasn’t ugly but he wasn’t strikingly handsome either.
What attracted noble ladies more, was his strength, his identity, his status, and the charm that came with them.
