Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

The Red Pagoda establishment of the Corvin faction branch headquarters was a 6-storey building, carefully constructed and beautifully decorated to further enhance the stunning views of its surroundings. Its towering scarlet body contrasted sharply with the colorful flower garden by the charming lake, creating a dazzling disharmony.

Compared to the other buildings Emery had seen in this complex, it was the most crowded by far, with several people walking in and out of the building even now.

"It's almost evening. We usually have more guests coming later at night. Mister, you should enter while it's still not too crowded," the lady who had been handling them said with a smile, before she bowed and left them alone.

At the moment, Emery was standing right outside of the establishment. His mind was fixated on the singing voice, his expression in a daze. It was as if it was calling him, revealing some of the memory buried within.

"So are we going in or what?" Annara said in an impatient tone, breaking him out of his trance.

Glancing at the red-haired girl, Emery nodded slightly, "Let's go."

As they walked through the open gate, the two of them were welcomed by the sight of numerous tables filled with several dozen people eating and drinking while being tended to by beautiful women.

The place they arrived at seemed to be a two-floor fine dining establishment, with the center open for plain view. They could see a stage where a woman was standing alone singing.

Emery's gaze instantly locked on to the singing female figure as he tried to put the voice to her face. She was wearing clothes that revealed just enough to be arousing but not too over the top, but Emery paid no attention to such things as his eyes went on her face.

Unfortunately for him, the brown-haired woman wore a mask that covered half of her face as part of her outfit.

Just as he was about to approach her, a fat-looking man with a wide smile on his face and eyes that almost couldn't be seen approached him. "Welcome to Corvin's Red Pagoda. How can I help you?"The source of this ᴄontent is ɴovelFɪre.net

Before Emery could say anything, the man proceeded to explain all the services the place provided.

Apparently, the first and second floors were reserved for an exclusive dining experience. The third floor was where their famous hot bath was located, while the fourth to sixth floor were their VIP rooms for extra special services.

Glancing at the man, Emery quickly spoke before returning his gaze to the woman again.

"We would like to dine. Give me a table closest to the stage."

"Certainly."

Saying those words, the man beckoned to follow him. He quickly led them to one of the three dozen tables in the area. When he saw Emery couldn't stop staring at the person on stage, the man asked with a smile, "Are you liking our newest talent, sir?"

"Yes," answered Emery curtly. "Tell me more about her."

At that question, the man let out a smirk. "Mister, why ask me when you can ask her yourself? I will make sure she attends to you after she finishes her song. For now, please enjoy the best cuisine our establishment has to offer."

When the man finally left, Annara immediately turned to Emery. "Do you really recognize her? Or is this just another game of yours to add more girls to your harem?"

Emery ignored her as he was immersed in his own thoughts.

Was his memory really playing tricks on him?

He couldn't see her face and no matter how hard he scoured his memories, he couldn't find himself knowing any female wolf half-blood with such an alluring figure.

Could it be that her song was an enchantment specifically to make all who listen to it feel the same way?

Even though he didn't know what song it was, Emery had to admit that what she was singing was truly enchanting  and able to touch the hearts of the listeners. In fact, the song was kind of a sad tale, telling a story of losing someone dear.

Annara appeared impressed as well as she said "The girl can indeed sing."

Moments after the food arrived, the woman also finished her song. As she was walking down teh stage approaching Emery's table, another girl replaced her continue with a different song.

The brown-haired woman gracefully sat on their table and swiftly introduced herself.

"I am Trixie. Did you enjoy my singing, sir?"

The mask she was wearing didn't hide her genuine smile, and despite the sorrowful song she just sang, the woman was much friendlier than he expected. Once again, Emery found himself a step closer to knowing who she was, and Trixie was definitely not the name in his memory.

He still couldn't put a name despite getting a close look at the parts of her face that were revealed, and unfortunately even when she was eating with the two of them, she still didn't take off his mask.

Not long after, the fat man who greeted them earlier returned to their table. "Is everything to your satisfaction, sir and madam?" Glancing at the brown-haired woman, he looked at Emery and said, "How was the service, sir? I hope she didn't disappoint you."

Emery noticed that when the man grabbed her shoulder, there was a slight tremble from her body, which was enough to tell him that she was rejecting such a gesture. With even more interest, Emery asked the man. "Everything is fine, but I wonder if I can ask her to take off her mask?"

The fat man once again revealed the same smirk he showed earlier as he explained that the mask symbolized that she was new to the place and had not been touched by anyone. After that, he bounty said, "It's only fifty thousand for a night with her, sir. Room and other services included."

As the fat man said those words, the brown-haired woman remained silent. On the other hand, Annara looked at Emery with a look and expression that clearly said 'are you being serious right now'.

To the red-haired girl's surprise, the latter accepted the price and said, "You can return to the inn first."

Needless to say, Annara had a frown on her face, especially when Emery told her to pay the man before he went up the stairs with the brown-haired woman in tow.

Watching them disappearing into the stairs, Annara could only shake her head saying, "I knew it! you are not a wolf. You are a pig!"
