Hesso nodded. "That better not change or I... don’t know what I will do."

Silence passed by.

"He wouldn’t dare, right?" Surut mumbled. "A lot of my elders were supporters of the previous Lord and they had been dissatisfied with how Lord Mafo had been handling things."

There was little sense of loyalty among the nobles here, of course, but what they did see was money and benefits.

Under Mafo’s reign, a lot of that had grown stagnant, and they naturally didn’t like it.

"Naive!" The acne-filled Langot added with a sneer. As the son of a merchant and someone actively helping his father, he was exposed to a few more things. "If I were you, I would start building up my power in case there’s a conflict."

This turned the conversation a bit more somber, but at the same time, they couldn’t do much but talk to friends and relatives. They couldn’t go about it too openly either.

It was here that Langot leaned over with a sly smile. Misha cringed a bit at the sight of him. Since she last saw him a few days back, a lot seemed to have changed with him.

He felt a little darker and more... unpredictable.

"I got something interesting that could really get people on our side—no, dependent on us."

This made everyone’s back straighten as he took out a bag in his space. He folded it so that the mouth was small and poured out some of the powder to form a line.

As he did so, he also provided more information. "A merchant approached me for a deal," he said. "I tried it on slaves at first and saw how happy they were and got curious."

"It’s a little addicting, and I for one, would be willing to pay a lot for a bit—imagine others?"

The rest of the group stared at the item, a little confused. "White powder?"

"Is this sugar or salt?" another asked, narrowing his eyes at the white line. Sugar and salt were indeed good resources!

Langot shook his head. "No. It’s better."

He grinned, making his eyebags a bit more prominent. "This is amazing. It brings you to another world—I tell you!"

Surut took a finger and dabbed it on the powder to taste. "It tastes weird," he said. "A little acrid and bitter. I don’t see why people would want this."

The others curiously grabbed a taste as well.

However, they said this, but they end up tasting a bit more.

Langot chuckled, and it felt a little creepy. "It’s better if you snort it. Gets to the head faster, less waste."

He took out a small piece of papyrus and rolled it up, inhaling it. He shut his eyes and his body squirmed oddly. His expression was like he had just had the best food he had had in years.

No, an orgasm.

Seeing their friend like this got Hesso and the others even more curious.

At first, they were very tentative. It just felt... unnatural to have powder there, and many of them coughed from their nose. Langout quickly pinched their noses though, yelling at them not to waste anything.

They almost fought with him then until... it felt a little tingly. Then their body felt good, like having sex. Someone even pulled his woman and ripped her dress to shreds, taking her in front of everyone with an improved libido.

"So good... so good...!"

Slap!
