Chapter 260 Hungry ladies, 251 letters

?The employee quickly led Adam into a separate room, and before him stood an irritated Elrion, who, upon hearing the door creak, immediately turned his head towards Adam.

“Adam. Why. Were. You. Sleeping?!”

“Huh?”

The young man hurriedly wiped saliva from the corners of his mouth and then put on a serious expression, saying, “You’re mistaken. I wasn’t sleeping; I was just contemplating various things.”

“You… well, forget this part. I don’t care; quickly put on your clothes and hurry up; your exit is soon!”

Elrion shook his head, looking tired, and quickly handed Adam a set of clothing – it was a hanfu, the existence of which Elrion had learned recently from Adam himself. In the Moonlight Empire, such attire didn’t exist, making it fit the description of “original design.”

The hanfu was white with small patterns on the back. The design was simple, but with Adam’s combination of beauty, it could bring a good victory.

Swiftly changing, Adam joined Elrion, making the man nod approvingly.

“As expected, it suits you. At the very least, we can attract attention.”

Elrion was pleased with the turn of events, knowing that as a designer, he lagged behind his colleagues, but in choosing a model, he had a significant advantage. For the contest, where the essence was entertainment, having a beautiful model could brighten the evening and delight many ladies.

Moreover, there were plenty of wealthy ladies here who invested the most money in the contest, expecting all models to be men with whom they could “interact” if necessary.

One of the reasons Adam agreed, knowing all the details, was the desire to garner more attention and earn a small profit to provide for his development needs.

For a short period, he disregarded his pride and decided to take this step, even though he still felt guilty towards Lina and his wives.

But ultimately, recognizing his dire situation and dreams, he decided to prioritize them. After establishing a solid foundation for himself, he would spend as much time with them as they wanted and shower them with his love.

Now, awaiting his moment until he was called, Adam conversed with Elrion and occasionally with the employee, who was simply amazed at the sight of Adam. The man could see love in her eyes, but he didn’t want to respond in any way.

After five minutes, he was called to the main stage. Though he was a bit nervous and anxious inside, as he was literally in front of a crowd of hungry predators, Adam stepped onto the carpet.

The exit for the models was located on the left side of the stage. When Adam approached the door and opened it, spotlights were directed at him. His beautiful face, long silky hair neatly tied in a high ponytail, and cold, slightly arrogant black eyes drew the attention of the female audience.

“He’s… such a handsome guy!”

“I spent over 10,000,000 Rihm on investments for a reason! Finally, a worthy man; our ‘interaction’ will be legendary!”

“I’m ‘sweating… ladies, do you have a napkin?”

“Y-you’re sweating? My God, you’ve ruined the entire dress with your ‘sweat’! Crazy bitch in heat!”

…Well, it had to be said that the audience was pleased with the clothing design, although more attention was directed towards Adam. It seemed like they were ignoring the design itself and just looking at his face.

In another room, Elrion sat speechless. It felt like he didn’t even need to try… he just needed to dress Adam in curtains, and the result would be the same.

Adam, standing on the stage, also didn’t expect such a tumultuous reaction. While he was bewildered, standing under the bright spotlight, the hostess approached him with a serious expression.

“Dear participant, this year we’ve introduced a rule where we need to personally verify the quality of the clothing. Can we check more thoroughly?”

“Huh? Oh, sure…”

Adam simply nodded, ignoring the fact that such requirements were dreadfully obvious—she lied without blushing.

And so, the hostess began to touch his body and was stunned that beneath the seemingly slender physique hid a monster!

“Darn… his muscles are just amazing! He’s the best!” she thought with a twisted smile, imagining Adam doing both things. “Hehehe…”

After some time, the recovered audience was shocked when they saw the hostess behaving like an old pervert, groping Adam’s body!

“Damn, fox! I want to touch his body too, sniff him, and lick him from head to toe!”

“Agreed!… Wait, what the hell do you mean by licking him? Are you a dog or something?”

“For such a handsome guy, I’ll become a dog or even a cat if needed. Meow…”

“Ladies, behave more nobly…”

Adam barely held back from changing his facial expression. He thought he was the most perverted one, but even in this, he was surpassed. As expected from the Higher World, even the perverts were high-ranking!

After a short silence, some people also volunteered for inspection. Though the male part of the audience was shocked, they could only stay silent and shrug. Some noble lords could barely contain their wives.

Unwittingly, Adam earned himself many female allies and an equal number of male enemies. But even if you ask him if it bothers him, he’ll say – no. So, he continued to stand in place, allowing the ‘inspectors’ one by one.

“Ah… such strong muscles! Youth is beautiful… hehe, handsome, want to spend time with this elder sister? I’m very generous, I have a lot of money. Oh, if only someone could brighten my evenings…” said a beautiful-looking woman, who hugged Adam without remorse, not forgetting to grope him.

She sensually breathed near his ear and deliberately rubbed her intimate parts against his leg, wriggling in place. The man was left speechless.

“Is it just me… or are the people of this world so peculiar?”

***

In the models’ room, silence fell. No one spoke – each of them was stunned, left speechless. They were initially ready to sell their bodies to some wealthy woman, but who would have thought that they wouldn’t even get 0.00001% attention?

“Damn… after him, of course, the other ladies won’t pay any attention to us! Compared to him, we’re just peasants…” Andy thought, sighing disappointingly.

From what he saw, even married noble ladies approached Adam, and some young misses shamelessly offered him to be their husband. Although most of them were from Knight families, the mere fact that they were nobles gave many models hope for a bright future.

However…

“We lost, even before the contest started… life is unfair.”

Many of them immediately gave up, refusing to participate in such an event, so they left before anyone noticed. They didn’t stand a single chance!

The remaining designers were not as crushed as the models. They were just amazed by Elrion’s design.

“Wow… I’ve never seen such clothing. I can’t help but admire the skills of our colleague, Mr. Elrion. My respect,” Dmitry suddenly said, smiling friendly. It seemed like he wasn’t against the contest going off-script.

“… ”

The other designers nodded. It was foolish not to acknowledge that they lost in this competition, but each of them didn’t want to give up.

After a while, a breathless and frightened staff member rushed to them. She approached the designers and, pausing to catch her breath, said,

“G-gentlemen… the models… they… h-ha… they disappeared! The guards saw them leaving the estate!”

“What?”

Each of the designers was stunned by the news. If the models didn’t participate in the contest, how could they showcase their designs? Moreover, it was evident that the audience here wasn’t appreciating art; they were a bunch of lustful creatures looking for an adventure in their private parts!

Exchanging glances, they looked at Adam, who seemed to be enjoying himself and was smiling friendly, even flirting with married noblewomen. They were left speechless.

“Seeing him, they despaired and decided to leave, not to embarrass themselves? What absurdity,” Dmitry thought, shaking his head. “Well, fine. Maybe it’ll be even better for me; I won’t have to pay for the model services out of my pockets.”

Elrion, standing with his colleagues, who had now emerged from the room, was also stunned.

“Did I try in vain?” he thought, then sighed heavily. But a cheerful smile was on his face. Regardless, victory was crucial.

***

The contest ended quite dull. After Adam and Elrion, other designers performed, but their models were employees of the competition, so it didn’t turn out as amusing.

The remaining audience was puzzled by why the designers chose such unattractive models. However, after they received a brief retelling from a staff member who was inside, they were left speechless.

«You left because you had no chance of winning? That’s… how cowardly!»

Many nobles, disappointed with their wives’ behavior, could only grit their teeth and order these models to be added to their blacklists. They sponsored the contest not for the fun to end before it even started.

Some even wanted to retaliate against Adam, but faced with the cold gazes of their wives, they broke into a cold sweat and postponed the idea for better times.

“I understand you’re winning the hearts of these crazy bitches, but why didn’t you spare even our wives?” grumbled the nobles, but they could only remain silent, not wanting to provoke the anger of their wives.

Returning to the room to change into formal attire for the upcoming ball, Adam neatly packed the tower of letters into a large box. There were over two hundred such letters.

“…You know, even for someone like me who devotes all attention to my career, I’m envious of your popularity,” muttered Elrion.

All these letters were invitations to the territories of the nobles, along with some benefits from wealthy business ladies. In an instant, Adam became an honorary guest of many businesswomen, and noblewomen promised him a high status if he became their lover.

The man didn’t refuse, and in the end, enthusiastic fans gave him 251 letters.
