Tranxending Vision - Chapter 774

Chapter 774: 774

Soon, it was nighttime .

A feast of Eastern and Western food had begun in the Orchid Hall of the Peace Mansion .

Pizza and beef steaks from Italy, red wine and foie gras from France with roasted duck and mutton from China . These were a few of the delicacies served at the feast .

Arthur lit up two sticks of white candles and placed them on the dining table with the Knights Hospitaller’s signet embedded on the bottom . The candlelight flickered gently, faint smoke rose as it lit up the surroundings and gave off the pleasant smell of agave .

Xia Lei sat at one side of the table while Arthur was seated on the opposite side . The Grey sisters were seated to his left and the Russo sisters to his right . All in all, they were a sight for sore eyes .

Giovanna and Stella Grey had changed from their leather suits to a dress from the middle ages, their waists were cinched tightly with a corset that squeezed their full bosoms . Though they were old-fashioned, it brought out a different sense of appeal . The dress gave them a sexy but classical look . It felt as if they had travelled through time to meet you for a risky rendezvous in the bushes .

Rosa and Theresa Russo’s outfits were completely different . They both wore a white low-cut and off-shoulder gown that exposed their bareback . There wasn’t much fabric concealing their body, leaving very little to the imagination .

Though Xia Lei was fully aware of what his five guests were about to do, he kept his smile and remained his composure, just like a jaded English nobleman .

“I hope you’ll enjoy tonight’s dinner . Let us raise a glass to our first meeting . ” Xia Lei smiled as he held up his cup . “I have a good feeling that no matter what the outcome of our deal will be, we’ll become great friends . ”

The five Knight Hospitaller members only gave a slight nod in response . They then clasped their hands together and began to say grace . “Bless us, O Lord, and these, Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty . Through Christ, our Lord… Amen . ”

Xia Lei couldn’t help but feel awkward, opting to take a small sip from his cup . It was expensive wine from Château Lafite-Rothschild, it would be a waste to not drink it .

Finished with their prayer, Arthur said, “Mister Xia, thank you so much for being such a great host . If you could kindly take a step back on the deal, our stay here would be more ideal . I’m sure our mighty God will reward you graciously .

Xia Lei smiled . “We all have our own set of goals . We eat to fill our stomachs . We work to earn income and support our family and we pray for the redemption of our souls . I’m doing this to… Hehe, maybe we should talk about something else . ”

After all, they weren’t here to discuss business .

“Mister Xia, what do you believe in?” Giovanna directed a question to Xia Lei .

The other three ladies soon had their attention on Xia Lei, seemingly interested to know more about his life and faith .

“Everyone has their own set of beliefs . Some pray for money, some pray for power and some pray to all sorts of different gods . But for me, yeah, I’m animistic,” he answered .

“Animistic?” Giovanna thought for a moment . She continued, “You’re not native American yet you share the same faith, how weird . ”

The other three scorned . In this world, people discriminated against each other based on ethnic backgrounds, the rich discriminated against the poor and the religious ones discriminated against those with no faith . To them, Xia Lei had no faith and his soul was long corrupted . He had hell to turn to in death .

Xia Lei paid no mind to their responses and opinions, he calmly said, “Nature birthed us and supported us . I think it deserves my utmost respect . I know that you think that I’m not a man of faith, but this is truly my belief . My belief is nature . I really don’t find it necessary for a religion to discriminate against another religion . The Catholics had fought the Islamic world for centuries in the name of your God, but there is still yet an outcome . ”

“Hehehe…” Arthur raised his glass with a grin . “It seems like you know much about our history, Mister Xia . How about we leave this aside and enjoy the night? Cheers . ”

“Cheers,” Xia Lei touched his glass to Arthur’s .

“Mister Xia, why are you so adamant on having us fight the FA organization? I’m really curious about it,” asked Arthur . He stared intently into Xia Lei’s eyes as if he intended to penetrate his soul .

Xia Lei replied, “Mister Arthur since you asked me a question, let me first ask one . I will answer one question, and so will you . ”

“What would you like to know?”

“I brought a piece of metal out from the maze . It’s silver in colour and its the most ideal aviation material that I’ve seen so far . In my opinion, its value should be emphasized in the aviation industry but you said that it was your sacred relic instead . Why is that so? Is there a story behind it?”

“Mister Xia, that’s a tough question . ”

“Mister Arthur, your question was not a simple one either . ”

Giovanna left her seat to refill Xia Lei’s glass with the decanter . Taking advantage of the proximity, she came closer to his ear and whispered gently, “Mister Xia, I can tell you the answer if you wish but we’ll save that for another place and another time . ”

Xia Lei glanced at her nonchalantly .

Xia Lei’s glass was now half full . Giovanna then returned to her seat, not forgetting to brush her bosom against his shoulder in the process . The abrupt softness had Xia Lei in a slight daze .

“Mister Xia, are you sure you don’t want them to stay with you?” said Arthur, he continued, “From a man’s perspective, your decision isn’t rational at all . ”

Xia Lei replied, “I thought I’ve made it very clear that I won’t be exchanging the metal for your women . You may get your sacred relic once you’ve fulfiled my request . ”

‘You’re really determined, huh? Alright, I’ll let you know after our meeting . Right now, let’s focus our effort onto enjoying the feast . It would be a shame to let something like this go to waste,” said Arthur as he took a sip from his glass .

The feast continued in silence, Xia Lei didn’t bring anything else to the table . The Russo sisters and Grey sisters were giving each other looks discreetly, sometimes watching him from the corner of their eye . He knew their plans but feigned ignorance .

The candle flame shone brighter as time passed . The guest hall was filled with the sweet and earthy scent of agave, but the fragrance was abnormal .

Slowly, Xia Lei felt weird . He started to feel hot and had found it difficult to concentrate . He was slipping in and out of consciousness . He started to unbutton his shirt, but to no avail . Droplets of sweats began to form on his forehead, then his eyes were in and out of focus .

“Mister Xia, why do you need your help to take down the FA organization?” Arthur has been keeping a watchful eye on his response, choosing to ask the question as soon as Xia Lei was lightly swaying in his seat .

“I’m… so sleepy…” said Xia Lei, he had no strength to keep his head up .

Arthur gave a look to Giovanna .

Giovanna quickly came over to Xia Lei’s side, seating herself onto his lap with her arms around his neck . “Darling, why are you so desperate to defeat the FA organization?”

“I…” Xia Lei was in a daze .

Arthur gave another look .

Soon, the other three ladies left their seats to Xia Lei’s side, he was now encircled by four ladies .

This felt as if it was a blossom-filled war field . Arthur was the general while the sisters were his frontline soldiers . Unbeknownst to them, Xia Lei’s strong immune system had already been activated . He had long sobered up from the effects of the candles but he had to feign his vulnerability to play along with their tactics .

“I… I… got a very… very…”

“What did you get?” Rosa’s sweet and appealing voice rang in his ear .

“A very valuable intel . ”

“What intel?” Giovanna started to move her hips, stimulating Xia Lei further while she pressed her behind against his groin . He was starting to feel a little conflicted .

But the show must go on . “There’s a… a type of metal… that God left on this world . But it’s not the only one . The FA organization’s head… headquarters has a sword made out of it . They have the Angel’s… Sword…”

The jaws of the Knight Hospitaller members dropped .

“That’s… why the FA organization… had my people… killed . They’re after me . I… I want to destroy them… I want to retrieve the sword…” Xia Lei revealed his ‘secret’ .

The Russo and Grey sisters looked to Arthur, awaiting further instructions . What Xia Lei had said was a shocking development to the matter .

Arthur’s eye gleamed with excitement . “Take him to his room, you know what to do next . This is important news! I need to call Sir Angelo immediately!”

The four ladies helped Xia Lei up, supporting him out of the Orchid Hall .

“I’m not… drunk, I… can still d-drink…” drawled Xia Lei on their way out .

“We can drink more back in the room,” giggled Giovanna .

Theresa grabbed a handful of Xia Lei’s ass cheek . “You’re really setting up yourself for hell . ”

Still at the table, Arthur’s call had reached Angelo . “Sir Angelo, I just received very important information, the FA organization…”

Xia Lei’s lips curled up into a faint smirk .

Desire had always been a demon . The Knight Hospitaller had been after this piece of metal for centuries . Just a small block of it was enough to drive them mental . If there really was this ‘Angel’s Sword’ made out of their God’s metal, how could they find it in themselves to say no?
