****Estra, Tosa, Dyer Castle****
****Vlad POV****
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in!"
2 of the four women came into the room and bowed slightly.
"The bath has been prepared, please follow us"
"Okay"
I followed them out of the room.
We went through a corridor with walls made out of wood and floor made out of wood as well. They both had strange markings on them which went until the end of the corridor where there was a door with steam coming from it.
The women opened the door "Please enter" I went inside of the room and saw that there was a wooden bathtub filled with water. I couldn't remember how long it has been since I took a bath so I closed the door then I took off my clothes and entered it.
After I finished my bath, I got out and dried myself with a white towel and put it around my waist
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in!"
2 of the women who brought me to this room came in while holding a set of white robes and white shoes
[This is how the robes look like http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wt4AAOSwBahVebk-/s-l300.jpg]
"What is it?"
"Please change into these" The women handed me the robe and shoes before leaving the room.
I put on the robe and shoes, it surprisingly fit me. Looking at my own body, I couldn't help but smile in delight.
I went towards my old robe and took out the scroll and put it inside my new one. I opened the door and walked outside of the bathroom where I was greeted by the women who brought me here.
Both women had faces of astonishment looking at me. You could also hear few *gasp*s escape their lips.
‘I know how you feel because I would also fall for my looks’ I thought and my lips curved upwards
They both came back to reality and led me towards my room.
Inside of my room, I went towards the bed and was about to lay down.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Can I come in?" I heard the voice of that black-robed youth.
"Come in!"
I turned around towards the door and saw the youth who entered. He also wore the same white robe as me. He looked at me and showed a surprised face.
"If you were a girl, I would have married you" the youth said, laughing.
"Like hell you would!" I said which made him look at me surprised before starting to laughing again.
He moved towards where the table and chairs were "Why don't we sit down?" I followed him and sat down opposite of him.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Aaron Dyer, nice to meet you."
"I am named Vlad Walker" I said which made him look at me with a complex expression before turning back to normal.
"Why is your hair red and eyes yellow?"
"Why is your hair white and eyes brown?"
He became silent.
"Exactly!" I said with a smile.
"My turn, now. Why did you let a stranger come to your house?"

"You are interesting"
"Which part of me is interesting?"
"The way you don't give a shit about anything"
"And that's what made you let me stay here?" I said raising an eyebrow.
"That and the fact you don't care about my status. In this city, I can say there’s no one who can talk to me like this without being scared!"
"How is that a bad thing?"
"Well, being alone is shit!"
I looked at him for a while before I tilted my head.
"Well, you're right about me not caring about your status, but I am grateful to you for letting me stay here which is why I am going to make a deal with you"
"A deal?" Aaron raised an eyebrow.
"I suspect that your family is also a business family?"
"Of course, we own half of the shops in this city as well as many other shops in other cities" He said proudly.
"Then, how about earning a shit ton of money?"
He put on a confused expression "How?"
"In this world, everyone is a cultivator, right?"
"You’re right. What does that have to do with me earning a lot of money?"
"Well, you can make a new system. People would give you money and if they die in their path, you give the money back to the person's family"
He had a doubtful expression "How will that help me get money? Won't it be me who uses a lot of money instead?"
I started explaining the principle behind life insurance. Of course, I left out the big parts of what makes the life insurance truly work.
He was astonished by my idea and was thinking why no one thought of this before.
After going back to what I said, he found many flaws towards this system and frowned. He then looked at me
"There seem to be parts missing, am I right?"
"You’re right!" I said with a smile.
"Are you not going to tell me?"
"If I told you, we would not have a deal now, would we?"
"What is your condition?"
"I want 10% of the income"
He put on a confused expression "You do realize the amount of money we would get from this, right?"
"Of course, I do!"
"Then, why do you only want 10%?"
"Two reasons. First, I am only 15 and my clan is gone which means I am alone. Second, I am weak right now, so if someone knew that I earned so much money, they would not have a big problem taking it from me"
He now understood the reason behind my logic and started to smile.
"That is indeed true, but 10% is not a small amount either so what are you planning to do with it?"
"I want to join a sect, so I need a lot of money for my cultivation"
"That's true. In order to get strong, you need a lot of money" He nodded his head.
"I am going to go and discuss this with my father. I will come back with the contract tomorrow. You can get some rest now and if you're hungry, just call for the maids outside, they will bring you food" He stood up and so did I.
"Okay"
