Once, I wanted to be a good person

Occasionally showing off is fine, but if he kept it up, he worried that he'd end up like Jiang Cheng, caught in the weeds.

When he descended the stairs, the butler and the car were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Fang Ze, the butler quickly opened the door respectfully. Fang Ze got into the car, the butler closed the door, then took his seat in the passenger's side.

As the car started moving, the butler asked, "Sir, where are we heading?"

Fang Ze replied without hesitation, "To that specially made villa previously used by the Special Service Department."

After hearing Fang Ze's words, the butler nodded, then instructed the driver.

The car drove on and soon arrived at the entrance of the villa.

The vehicle stopped, but Fang Ze didn't get out. He spoke slowly to the butler, "Old Feng. I don't really have a place to stay temporarily in Emerald City, can I rent this villa for a while?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, the butler was clearly startled. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Sir, it's possible, but... this villa is usually used for... wouldn't it be a bit inauspicious?"

Although Old Feng didn't fully elaborate, Fang Ze understood his implication: the villa was used by the Special Service Department to detain aristocratic prisoners and wasn't a normal residence. Living there would always feel unsettling.

However, Fang Ze was never superstitious. Moreover, he really couldn't do without the villa at the moment: there were only a few places in Emerald City that could contain the Flower God's Divine Soul. Most of those were important official facilities, and only here could Fang Ze "plot" his plans.

If he couldn't secure this location, taking the Flower God out would leave Fang Ze genuinely worried some of his lies would be exposed.

With that in mind, Fang Ze said indifferently, "No matter. I don't care about that. Go talk to the Special Service Department. I want to rent it for a half month."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, the butler didn't persist in persuading him.

He said with a smile, "Then I'll make contact right now. There should be no problem, after all, the Special Service Department has a specially made villa like this in every high-level city, and they are mostly vacant most of the time."

"They rent them to other official departments to generate revenue."

After listening to the butler, Fang Ze nodded, then added, "Right. And ask about the price of those Different Race maidservants. I'll buy them all at once."

Truthfully, although those maidservants were indeed beautiful and exotic: some with rabbit ears, some with snake tails, some with sharp little deer horns, and some with retractable fine scales, nimble and versatile in their movements, Fang Ze genuinely wasn't interested in them.

Despite the snake woman's ability to fold her body 180 degrees and hang by her tail from the ceiling, upside-down, approaching Fang Ze's legs, despite the rabbit woman's body being soft as cotton and incredibly comfortable to lean on, despite the dark-scaled woman's skin becoming elastic and her figure enchanting once her scales retracted, Fang Ze simply didn't care about these things.

He just thought that those maidservants were truly eager to learn; they immediately started researching anything, like jelly or strolling, as soon as he mentioned it. They learned yoga and aerobics even more diligently than he did. Plus, the Flower God really liked them, so Fang Ze might as well do a good turn with the tide.

Besides, he was now a noble after all, and he did need maidservants at home. So it made more sense to use familiar people rather than to hire new ones out there.

Thinking this way, Fang Ze couldn't help but glance towards the butler.

This time, the butler seemed a bit troubled by Fang Ze's words.

He looked at Fang Ze, then gave an awkward smile and said, "Sir, about that... I can only try my best."

"Those Different Race maidservants are not the same as those on the outside. They are actually Periphery Members who were specially trained by the Special Service Department. They are specifically used to serve nobles and gather intelligence. That's an almost unspoken rule that's out in the open."

"I'm unsure whether they have been on missions before or have obtained any intelligence."

"If it's their first mission, it would be negotiable. But if they've already been out on several jobs... I can't guarantee that the Special Service Department will let them go."

"And, we would need to get their own input on this as well."

Hearing the butler's words, Fang Ze was unconcerned. He nodded and said, "Just do your best to handle it."

With that commitment, the butler nodded, then happily took on the task.

After speaking with the butler, Fang Ze got out of the car and strode into the villa.

At this time, the villa's curtains were drawn, and deafening, explosive music was playing inside; a large, multi-colored disco ball was flashing with rainbow lights. The five or six Different Race maidservants were dancing passionately to the music.

In that moment, Fang Ze felt his eyes dazzled by the beauty, as if he had mistakenly wandered into Pansidong...

The butler was quite efficient in handling matters.

In less than an hour, he had brought feedback to Fang Ze.

The Special Service Department agreed to rent the villa to Fang Ze temporarily. The daily price was ten thousand Lini. It felt a bit like daylight robbery.

However, compared to the ransom for the six maidservants, one million five hundred thousand Lini each, it seemed almost like a giveaway.

According to the butler, the price was still an internal rate from the Special Service Department. Exotic beauties were inherently expensive, and these six were specially chosen and trained by the department, driving their price even higher.
