RISE OF EROS-Chapter 765 - 764
With everything settled and everyone ready to go about their respective jobs, Andrew asked Terra and Aqua not to leave, as he wanted to discuss a few things with them. While everything that needed to be done had already been discussed, the main plan they had was for Andrew to break the seventh divine seal, and for that, he needed sex and beautiful women.
Andrew’s stigma about using women as sources of power had long since faded. He now understood that his role in this world couldn’t be limited by his half-baked morals. While he didn’t intend to go around grabbing women, he would be much more proactive in his relationships.
Going out on the streets and flirting with women this way was ineffective, so Andrew planned to do something else. Terra and Aqua, although confined to maintain the seal of the fallen god, didn’t prevent them from knowing what was happening in the city.
They had lived here for centuries, so no one knew the city’s situation better than they did. It’s for this reason that Andrew asked them to stay. He wanted to know how to make his relationships with the women of the city more efficient.
It’s not 100% certain, but one thing Andrew had noticed was that in this world, the most beautiful women always had a certain status. It’s not that there weren’t beautiful common women, as some of his wives were, but generally the women who could bring him the most benefits were in high social circles.
This is why Andrew asked them how he could make his relationships with these women not traumatic or time-consuming. He wanted to speed things up, so he asked them for advice. "You’re quite sharp in some things, but when it comes to relationships, you were quite stupid, which is unusual for a candidate for god Eros," Terra said suddenly.
Andrew wasn’t offended, as he was well aware of this. This is because, although Andrew is a candidate for the god Eros, his mind and values were established in his previous life, where he was a social misfit and had few to no relationships, especially romantic ones.
It’s normal for him to be slow about these things, which is why Terra’s sarcastic comment didn’t bother him. The truth was, Terra wasn’t being sarcastic, but rather critical, as she genuinely found the situation odd.
Still, when she saw that Andrew didn’t say anything, she didn’t pursue the topic and simply decided to give him an idea. "Don’t be discreet," was what she said. These words confused Andrew.
Seeing Andrew’s frown, Terra understood that he hadn’t grasped what she had said, so she explained, "Andrew, you’re a figure with a lot of money and influence. Your business may be a pleasure house, but you have many other businesses; use that."
After that, Terra took Aqua and left. If Andrew couldn’t understand what she meant after that, perhaps it was better for this world to disappear, the spirit girl thought.
Andrew smiled bitterly as he watched them leave. Not because they had abandoned him, but because he had understood what Terra meant. His bitterness stemmed from the fact that it was obvious what he should do, yet he hadn’t thought about it.
"Could it be that the stress is getting to me?" he wondered, thinking he wasn’t stupid enough to not think about what Terra said without her pointing it out. At that moment, Fluffy said, "That really could be the case. Master hasn’t been thinking clearly lately."
Fluffy’s words surprised Andrew, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Really?" To which Fluffy replied, "Yes. Master hasn’t been finding solutions to simple things lately". "The same thing happened with the Cannes rumors.
Also, with Jasper and Ariza’s relationship. It’s not like you couldn’t find solutions; rather, you didn’t try, it was as if your mind shut down," Fluffy continued. Andrew fell into deep thought, and now that he looked at him, Fluffy was indeed right. These situations, although complex, weren’t so thorny that they couldn’t be solved, yet he couldn’t.
He even delegated the matter to his wives as if he didn’t want to deal with the matter. Upon reaching this realization, Fluffy spoke again, "I think the master is feeling the pressure of his importance and role in this world."
"Do you think I’m unconsciously overwhelmed?" Andrew asked again, and Fluffy instantly replied, "Yes. It’s not abnormal. The master comes from a life where nothing was expected of you, and now you are the hope of an entire world. In fact, it would be abnormal if you didn’t feel any grievance or pressure."
Andrew, hearing this, could only smile wryly. It seemed that what Fluffy said was true, and the pressure was making him lose his ability to reason in small situations. If you think about it, it’s normal. As Fluffy had said, in his previous life, Andrew was a person no one expected anything from. He didn’t face any pressure, so it was easy for him to calmly face problems.

However, now everyone depended on him, and that pressure unconsciously kept him on guard. However, this guardedness was for the bigger picture, and so when simple things like what he’d talked about with Terra happened, his brain somehow didn’t consider them.
It was as if he couldn’t analyze them, as it wasn’t something that affected the world, and that’s why he seemed like an idiot who couldn’t find solutions to simple problems. Letting out a sigh, Andrew leaned back on the sofa, a little annoyed.
Although he couldn’t do anything about this matter, as it was an unconscious problem, now that he knew the possible cause, it still bothered him. At that moment, Fluffy, who could sense his annoyed thoughts, spoke again.
"Master, in times like these, you should call your wives and ask them to indulge you. That’s what they’re for. Besides, as a candidate for the god Eros, when I’m confused, angry, bitter, or in any other state of discomfort, the best cure is pleasure."
Andrew laughed at her words, not because they were stupid, but because they were real, and they amused him, as he remembered his previous life. He couldn’t help but think about the differences between their lives.
Even so, Andrew, instead of following Fluffy’s advice, asked, "Why did you go back to calling me Master? I thought we agreed to call each other by our first names". "Master, I can use your name in public, but not in private. You don’t know my real name yet, so it’s not possible," Fluffy replied seriously.
"Come to think of it, the same thing happened before. What’s your name?" Andrew asked, intrigued. "I’m sorry, but I can’t say it yet," Fluffy replied, which confused Andrew. Before he could ask, Fluffy spoke again, "Master, don’t insist. It’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s that you don’t have the strength to bear it."
"Are you telling me your name has power and I can’t bear to hear it?" Andrew asked, wanting to verify his conjecture, and Fluffy replied, "That’s correct. My name contains divine power far more powerful than you can bear."
"When will I be able to hear it?" Andrew continued, and Fluffy replied, "When you release the eighth seal." Andrew was surprised, as that was practically one step away from ascension. He was curious, but he knew Fluffy wouldn’t play games when it came to his safety, so he chose not to force the issue.
Leaving that aside, Andrew teleported to the Cannes Palace and looked for Gaston and the others. Gaston had become the manager of all Andrew and his wives’ businesses, so for the new Comers Palace, it was obvious he should consult him about what they would do.
He also told them about the meeting with Aqua and Terra. Everyone was surprised to hear this information, but they weren’t worried. The reason was that there was no role they could play in it, so they paid no attention to it.
Although they were worried about Andrew’s situation, they decided to just believe in him and not worry. In the end, if they won, they would be with him, and if they lost, they would die with him. So there was no reason to stress about it; in the end, they would be with him no matter what.
Andrew wished he had that mindset, but he couldn’t. Wanting to change the subject, he told them about his idea of throwing a party to invite all the wealthy and powerful people of Comers City.
This was the suggestion Terra had given him. Showing off his wealth and power should be ostentatious. Andrew had always been a person of discretion, but in this case, he would do the opposite.
His back was against the wall, and time was running out, so he had no choice if he wanted to speed things up. He and the others planned how to throw a massive party at Comers. The goal was to make himself known and socialize with the city’s high society figures, especially the ladies, since his main objective was to get some of them into bed.
He wouldn’t force them, but having a night of fun wasn’t unusual even in his previous world, so that was what Andrew was looking for: a woman with whom he could have fun for a night without commitments, but without forcing things.
