Chapter 8: Shocking the Greedy Landlady
In this women’s world, landladies weren’t just mere property managers... they were ruthless dictators ruling over their properties with iron fists.
And sometimes... strange requirements.
This was a shallow society that judged a man entirely by two metrics: his face and his competence.
In the lower districts, landladies were notorious for treating handsome, broke men like pampered pets. If a pretty boy played his cards right, cooked the meals, and offered nuru massages, he could live rent-free for months.
Meanwhile, the elite landladies of the upper districts had even darker tastes. They also craved pretty boys, but only those from wealthy lineages. These high-class matriarchs had fetishes such as domesticating their handsome dogs and penetrating them with expensive "toys" just to break their aristocratic pride.
To them, every man is a form of pleasure.
Madam Tina was a textbook product of the slums.
She routinely slept with her broke, attractive tenants and generously let their rent slide while keeping them well-fed. But Chrome had lived a harsh life that left him looking haggard and unkempt. To Tina, he was an eyesore.
How can a man be poor and ugly? Pick a struggle!
When Chrome opened his new door he came face-to-face with the fuming Madam Tina.
She was a stout, forty-year-old woman decked out in cheap gold jewelry and her hair rolled into tight curlers.
Normally, whenever she showed up for rent, she’d chew on a toothpick and spit right in his face because he was HER ugly pig. And Chrome never complained.
She was fully prepared to do it again, but the moment her eyes landed on Chrome’s new and incredibly handsome face, the toothpick slipped from her mouth and clattered to the floor.
A sudden, syrupy smile was on her face.
"Uh... well hello there, handsome. Have you seen that useless rat Chrome anywhere around here?"
Chrome glared down at her.
"He’s standing right here."
Madam Tina gasped so hard she almost snapped her cheap high heel, stumbling backward. To think she was already plotting ways to corrupt this pretty boy, only for him to turn out to be that pathetic rat!
She steadied herself and pointed a chubby finger at his chest and growled. There was a shame on her face she’s trying to hide... she just called him handsome.
"Shut your mouth! Your rent is three weeks overdue! I don’t care how pretty your face looks, my apartments aren’t a charity ward for broke little pig boys!"
Chrome smirked and crossed his arms.
"I have the money, Auntie Tina."
"Ha!"
Madam Tina let out a harsh laugh to mock him.
"Just because you begged some back-alley doctor for plastic surgery to fix that ugly mug, you think you can afford my rent? Don’t make me laugh! Your gambler mother left you with nothing but debt. Look at you, you’re wearing clothes pulled straight from a dumpster!"
She was overcompensating, trying her best to be cruel so she wouldn’t be brainwashed by his tall height, broad shoulders, and killer face.
She’d slept with nearly every pretty boy on her lease, but none of them were this handsome. It was enough to make a hardened, middle-aged woman feel like a blushing teenager falling in love for the very first time.
Normally, Chrome would already be on his knees.
Trembling and begging for an extension.
Tina would tell him to lick the dust off her boots, and he would eagerly comply. Treating ugly men like dirt always made her feel powerful and aroused.
And Chrome is her favorite pig.
He’s many women’s pig.
But today, Chrome just stared silently at her. There was no fear in his eyes. He looked at her like she wasn’t even worth the oxygen she was breathing.
Tina might be an old lady, and the flower between her legs was rustier than an abandoned iron factory, but seeing a low-class man act so high and mighty instantly turned her withered rose into a soaking water lily.
She admired his chest and smiled seductively.
"You know, boy... I’m a generous woman. My daughter runs a high-end male host club over in the middle districts. If you sign a three-year entertainment contract with her, not only will I waive your debt, but I’ll even give you a massive cash advance. All you have to do is pour some drinks and flash that pretty smile for wealthy businesswomen. It’s a golden deal for a boy like you."
[DING! High-status predatory proposal detected.]
[Target: Tina Grant (Slum Landlady / Local Sub-Boss)]
[Condition: Accept her terms, enter debt slavery, and become a glorified sex toy.]
[System Prompt: Reject her utterly to assert ultimate male dominance!]
Chrome didn’t even blink. The system actually considered a slum landlady a sub-boss target? Excellent.
Money is money!
He knew the original Chrome would have jumped at this offer. Despite her awful personality, Madam Tina was a fairly voluptuous woman who carried her weight in all the right places. Since she was a bit fat she had a big, heavy butt that can be described as a dump truck.
The previous owner of this body had been a massive masochist, secretly attracted to the very women who trampled on his dignity.
Anything but sweet love and care from Lana.
The old Chrome is a disgrace.
Chrome let out a cold, mocking snort.
"Pour drinks for wealthy women? Tch."
He stepped forward powerfully and released just a fraction of his [Emperor’s Aura].
The sudden, oppressive weight sent an immediate jolt straight through Tina’s body. Her large, pudgy thighs involuntarily clamped together, and her heavy backside tensed inside her tight dress.
This was too attractive to her!
Her fat-women’s panties were soaked.
The dominating pressure was intensely arousing.
Desperately trying to hold back an embarrassing moan that would tarnish her image, Tina began to pant heavily as hot steam escaped her lips like a tired dog.
The young man standing before her no longer felt like a broke college dropout. He felt like a ruthless monarch staring down at HIS filthy peasant.
"Your daughter’s trashy club couldn’t afford my presence for a single second."
Chrome said smoothly.
"And as for your pathetic rent..."
He pulled out his smartphone, casually tapped the screen a few times, and thrust the glowing display right into her erotic pink face.
"Check your phone."
Buzz.
Tina’s phone vibrated. She clumsily fumbled through her pockets to fish out the device. The moment she read the banking alert, she almost spat blood.
[Notification: Tenant Chrome Langley has transferred $50,000.00 USD to your account.]
"Fifty... fifty thousand?!"
Tina gasped as her eyes bulged.
That’s enough to pay his rent for the next five years!
"The extra is a tip to buy yourself some better perfume. Now get away from my door before I buy this entire building just to evict you."
Tina’s heart hammered against her ribs.
She barely recognized this new, dominant version of Chrome, but she was already attracted by it.
"Uhm... Chrome, I..."
BAM! freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Chrome slammed the door right in her face.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing a Tier-0.5 Rejection!]
[Target: Madam Tina has suffered severe disgrace and has submitted to your dominance!]
[Reward: $500,000 USD Cash deposited directly into your secret Swiss account!]
[Reward: Ownership Deed to the ’Imperial Lakeview Penthouse’ (Value: $12,000,000 USD)!]
A gold-trimmed black key card appeared in his hand.
Spend fifty thousand, get half a million as well as a luxury twelve-million-dollar penthouse back.
"This is madness..."
