Li Zhao didn't know where the portal would lead, but knew it would go to a place that matched his energy and aura. As he fell through the portal onto the busy street, he ran as fast through the streets of this new unfamiliar world, knowing there was a chance An Jian would follow suit.
People who saw the strange man dressed in a purple and black robe running at such high speeds, thought to themselves why is this man not an Olympic hopeful but an costumed Otaku, what a waste.
As Li Zhao slowed down he was attracted to the sound of music unlike any other he had heard before. He walked closer to the building trying to get to the source, at the entrance the bouncer who waved some scantily clad girls through cutting the long line outside. His job was to let in beautiful girls, abnormally handsome men or interesting men, and somehow Li Zhao strange aura, handsome looks with a weird costume of high quality material passed 2 of the 3 conditions. The bouncer waved Li Zhao through, some girls in the line looked in excitement as he passed through.
Inside Li Zhao could feel the degenerate energy, guilty pleasures, addictions, impure and even violent thoughts. As a waitress walked by with drink, he grabbed one of the drink on her tray, overtaken by curiosity. The waitress turned to him and said "Hey that is not yours and its not free". Li Zhao understanding things were not free in his world either, pulled out a gold nugget hoping this world would accept it. The waitress who happen to have worked at her parent's jewellery store before, took the nugget expecting to laugh at the pathetic attempt of a joke, suddenly realized it was really gold from the weight and texture. If this was pure gold it would be worth at least $10,000. Her face in kind of a shocked expression before changing to her most seductive face "So your a freaky rich boy". Li Zhao frowned, happy his gold nugget was worth as much here as it was at home, maybe more. The waitress brought back the gold nugget to show her colleagues and they agreed he must be some rich playboy doing cosplay, they should give him the VIP treatment.
Being quite the standout in looks and dress attire, he caught the attention of many ladies, before long he was surrounded by multiple women who seemed addicted to his aura. The women in this world wore less than the prostitutes did in his world. One of the the ladies that had been eyeing him all night asked to take him away, he agreed but also said he would bring 3 other girls along with him. She wanted him for herself but couldn't resist the counter offer, it was like the encounter had swooped them into a erotic dream she had no control over.
As they headed out of the club, the lady who suggested taking him away hailed a taxi for all of them. She was wealthy and unknowingly had been put in charge of this night and would pay and find a hotel for them to engage in degenerate activity.
Late into the night at the hotel Li Zhao put back on his clothes and the ladies lying on the bed were completely drained of energy but not dead. He fed on their energy but did not kill them. The ladies would only know the night must had been crazy as they woke up feeling extremely exhausted and disgusted by themselves with little memory of what happened.
Li Zhao walked onto the street into an alley where he could feel a violent aura, A gang of men were beating on another. Li Zhao walked closer smiling as if he had found something tasty. The men finally noticed this odd man in a purple and black robe like out of costume drama grinning at them watching there violence, It slightly creep them out, but they would use anger to mask their fear.
"What the fuck are you looking at Freak" it was actually slightly hard to insult him because his uncovered chest that peaked out from his robe showed he was fit like a pro athlete, his only blemish was probably the odd dress attire but somehow even those seem of high quality.
Li Zhao inquisitively asked "Are you bandits?"
The gangster's looked at each other in surprised, "No fuck face, we are the Chum Li Gang, we own this area fool"
Another gangster then said "Lets beat this clown for wasting our time"
The five gangsters pulled out their knives and bats walking slowly towards Li Zhao, but he could feel they had no internal energy and judging from how the man was getting beaten, it didn't look like much of a threat to himself. He to was unsure if the metal chariots were driven by incredible internal energy, but the more he study these people, the weaker he thought they were. This would be a good time to test out his theory and see if anyone was worthy of his concern.
"Hey dick head, are you ready to become fish food?" one of the gangsters lunged at him with a knife trying to stab him in the chest. Li Zhao grabbed the hand with the knife stopping it from advancing and put his other hand on the mans head, and with an inhale, the gangster's face dried up and wrinkle collapsing to the floor, the others startled tried to gather their courage and attack but Li Zhao, simply dodge each strike and countered with a punch knocking each thugs to the ground one by one forcing them to fly a couple meters before landing on the ground in pain.
Li Zhao looked at the pathetic fools grinning knowing his hypothesis was right, they were all weak with no internal energy.
Li Zhao then walked into the middle of the 4 men lying on the ground with one dead and wrinkled "You all now work for me, any objections, please share"
The men laid groaning on the ground in fear not sure how to respond.
Li Zhao then said "Take your time to get up, but don't take too long" causing the men to shiver and try to gather themselves quickly to stand up.
Li Zhao pointed to the beaten man and asked "Who is he"
No one answered, but as Li Zhao's hand twitched about to take another life,
One of the gangsters quickly answered, "he tried to short change us so we had to teach him a lesson".
Li Zhao walked over to the man being previously beaten. The man looked into his eyes like if he was his saviour but Li Zhao placed his palm on his head sucked the life from his eyes.
Li Zhao turned around with a grin "take me to your lair"
The gangsters looked at each other like timid school children and walked over to their car opening the door for Li Zhao
"Please get in boss"
