Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 205

Archie blinked, “Lasa?”

The newcomer was a famous actress who also lived in the villa district.

With a flattering smile, she approached Erik and asked, “Can I buy some drinking water and food from you?”

She had been observing for a while. Erik’s family seemed to have plenty of supplies and had been living behind closed doors. She had been waiting for days, and today, she finally got a chance to strike up a conversation.

Before Erik could speak, Archie clicked his tongue. “Money is just worthless paper now.”

“I know.” Lasa pulled out a handful of jewelry from her backpack. “Will these work? What kind of jewelry does your girlfriend like?”

Erik lowered his gaze and shook his head.

These were all second–hand items. None of them were worthy of his matron Nyx.

“Why don’t you come with us instead? I’ll take you to a temporary shelter.” Archie offered kindly. “The conditions aren’t great, but at least there’s food and water.”

Lasa bit her lip in silence.

“Isn’t your girlfriend pregnant?” She finally revealed her true intentions, looking up at Erik. “I can take her place to have sex with you. Just give me some supplies.”

Lasa actually still had some supplies at home. What she was after wasn’t just a one–time trade.

She had seen firsthand how Erik dealt with those gangsters from property management. In times like these, if she could latch onto such a strong man, her life would be much easier.

In Lasa’s eyes, all men were lustful by nature. With his girlfriend pregnant, Erik was bound to crave some extra sex.

Lasa considered herself attractive–both in looks and figure–more than enough to entice a man.

“You guys aren’t officially married, right? Without a legal certificate, it’s not even cheating.” Lasa coaxed, trying to sow discord. “Besides, with the three of you together, who’s to say that baby is even yours.”

Archie and his friends exchanged glances. They thought, ‘Oh no.‘

As fellow men, they understood all too well the weaknesses of their own kind. A famous beauty throwing herself at Erik was like a bomb.
