RISE OF EROS

This skill has 3 levels and 2 forms of use. The levels are mortal, celestial, and divine. Currently, Andrew was at the mortal level and at the lowest mastery of this level, so apart from some relaxing massages he couldn\'t do anything else.

Divine massage is a series of techniques, that serve to relax, excite, and even heal, which is quite a formidable skill, but Andrew as a candidate for god Eros, could only master the erotic part of this skill, however, he could exercise some proficiency in the other skills.

The form of combat use, is a bit more demanding, as Andrew must learn how to fight. Certainly, with his Eros eyes and enhanced body, he is stronger than any normal soldier of this world, but in front of real experts, he was just a novice.

Besides, divine massage was not used as a martial art of punching and kicking, it was more like pressing acupuncture points to defeat his opponents with extreme pleasure, which is quite strange, so the improvement of his movements was imperative, so he started to practice with Oliver and Castor.

He could also use divine massage in combat to incapacitate his opponent with damage or pain, but again, as an Eros god candidate, he would not master this ability, he could only wield it at a mortal level at best.

Despite the limitations, Andrew was pleased with his new ability because he finally had a method of direct combat, though it was still weak. Despite beginning his combat practice, he focused more on developing the massage form.

He took his wives and all the courtesans as test subjects, to practice his massages and they were delighted because although according to Fluffy he was still very weak in its use, all these women were delighted with his work.

The thing is that Fluffy compares Andrew\'s current ability to its full potential and they were obviously universes apart in comparison, that\'s why Andrew didn\'t get upset when Fluffy teased him about that.

Although in the Heavenly Palace, everyone had a good life, the reality was that tensions between the kingdom of Tripia and the Cannaris empire were getting worse by the day. There had even been minor border skirmishes and acts of terrorism in different cities of the two countries.

Everyone knew that the status quo would soon disappear and not only the inhabitants of these two countries were waiting for the situation to evolve, but all the countries of the continent were paying attention.

Although the continent seemed peaceful, the reality was that everyone was plotting to take advantage of the situation. This also caused food traders like Candice to be on the lookout and so Andrew had warned Oliver and Castor to be on their guard.

Their concern was not unfounded, as there were already some people who tried to infiltrate Candice\'s store and the Heavenly Palace on several occasions. In addition, the investigations into Vocgo had not progressed, as this man had hidden himself well and Shadow\'s agents had been unable to locate him.

This bothered Andrew, as he could not accept that the man who attacked his wife remained unpunished, but there was nothing he could do at the moment, but keep searching.

After a few weeks, the Heavenly Palace received an unexpected visitor. A luxurious-looking carriage parked at the entrance and a woman who looked the same age as Helena with wonderful curves and sensual gait entered the establishment.

She was accompanied by two middle-aged men who looked powerful. Victor seeing the luxurious carriage and the beautiful lady, understood that she was an important personage, so he received her himself.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Palace, how can I help you?" said Victor respectfully, avoiding offending them, and the woman with a bewitching smile replied, "I came to visit your young master."

Victor did not know the lady and despite her obvious status, asked, "May I ask who is the lady?" to which the woman replied, "I am Dayana, owner of the Nine Heavens pleasure house."

Everyone in the red light district knew the 5 powers in the central area, so Victor was surprised to see the head of one of these powers and bowing said, "Allow me to inform the young master of your arrival. Please wait a moment".

Although he knew Dayana was not someone who could be offended, Victor could not let her pass just because she was a big shot in the red light district, especially when neither Oliver nor Castor were in the establishment.

Dayana didn\'t act presumptuously and just nodded letting him know that there was no problem, so Victor instructed the receptionists to attend to the guests, while he went to notify Andrew.

By the time Victor arrived at the office, Andrew already knew of the arrival of Dayana and her companions because he had total control over the Heavenly Palace and the moment they entered, he sensed the powerful aura of the three.

In the office, Victor reported Dayana\'s arrival, and though startled, Andrew did not flinch and asked Victor to lead her to him. Although Oliver and Castor were gone, with his dominance over the establishment, he had nothing to worry about.

A few minutes later Victor arrived at the office in the company of Dayana and her two companions. Andrew invited them to sit down, but only Dayana did and Andrew didn\'t mind, as he knew she was the boss.

"May I know to what I owe the honor of having Miss Dayana visit me?" he asked immediately. Dayana was surprised at his naturalness to act in her presence because in her vision the Heavenly Palace is a small business and Andrew should be a little uncomfortable with her presence, but seeing that this was not the case, she was surprised.

"Well, Mr. Andrew, I see that you like to address issues directly, so I won\'t beat around the bush. I am very struck by your dance room and would like to negotiate with you," Dayana said bluntly.

Andrew had an idea that someone would soon come with this objective, however, he did not expect it to be so soon and a person of such high status. "What does Miss Dayana have in mind?" asked Andrew testing the waters.

"It\'s simple really. I want to set up my own dance room, but music is a problem. That said, I would like Mr. Andrew to help me by training my staff and providing music. Name your price," Dayana replied seriously.

Seeing the way Dayana spoke, Andrew knew he couldn\'t joke with her. She certainly couldn\'t do anything to him inside the Heavenly Palace, but there were plenty of ways for her to destroy him if she wanted to.

"I understand your intention, but it\'s non-negotiable," Andrew said, which caused Dayana to furrow her eyebrows slightly in dissatisfaction her companions were about to move when Andrew added, "Why don\'t you visit me tomorrow and we can talk about this matter further?"

Dayana was puzzled by Andrew\'s request. She couldn\'t understand what difference it made to wait a day, but seeing that Andrew didn\'t care who she was, so she decided to wait. After a few parting words she left, promising to return the next day.

After Dayana and her men had left, Andrew began to think about his next move. While this could be a problem, it was also an opportunity to expand, so he began to plan his next moves, to discuss them with Candice, Oliver, and the others when they returned.

Elsewhere, in the luxurious carriage, Dayana and her two companions were discussing the meeting with Andrew. "Miss, why did you agree to that boy\'s demands? We could force him on the spot," one of the men said.

"Well, you people, despite your strength, are not very observant. Certainly, that young man did not look powerful, but did you notice that he was not discomforted by our presence?" said Dayana with a contemptuous smile.

"I think you are thinking too much. I think he just doesn\'t know the depth of our strength," the other man said and Dayana couldn\'t help but place an expression of helplessness at the stupidity of her men.

"If what you saw in that young man was recklessness, you are more stupid than I thought. That\'s not arrogance, that\'s confidence. That boy was confident he could handle us even if we attacked. Besides, I am not fond of violence, so don\'t bother, just let me handle this matter," Dayana replied annoyed and the two men fell silent because they knew their boss was upset.

Then the carriage fell silent and Dayana began to think about the reason for Andrew\'s calmness, then she remembered what her two agents had told her before. The way they were expelled without realizing it and so she misunderstood that in the Heavenly Palace, there was still a powerful expert, which they could not detect.
