It was time for me to finally go to the warehouse to see the loot I took over from the Liches forces. In the short term, it would be the only investment I would have to superspeed my presence into the Demon lands. I smiled as I walked into the warehouse alone without anyone around.
The Lich told me they raided a treasure ship. As I reached the first box, my eyes widened as a box full of silver reflected up at me, and I was startled. This was actual Currency! Silver coins and it was a large box full of them. This did not even need to be liquidated! I would just have to embezzle it and ensure it was properly Laundered. Could you tell me why the Lich didn't inform me of this?!
No, The Lich did, it was a treasure ship, and this was a very hot cargo. They did notify me, and I gulped as I realized that the poison I gave all the people yesterday was more than necessary. If anyone discovered this cargo in my hands, I was screwed. Only as I liquidated it could it be put into other people's hands. Carl already knew about me receiving a shipment, which meant he was okay to notify.
Soon, that series of ships would also be considered missing, which would all become much hotter. So, I needed to start looking through everything. What I started to find was amazing, but not so amazing as a box full of currency. I found another full box of Copper coins, which would be useful but not nearly as much as the Silver. There was no Box of Gold coins, which would have been the greatest help, but this was all in Demon lands minted silver and copper.
It was nice to know that I got some petty cash. Moving on from that, there were a lot of valuable things. There were Silver and gold decorative pieces, although mostly gold-plated. There were cups and bronze settings in such great numbers that it was refreshing. The major hobby was still extremely valuable, and these things would need to be spread all over the Demon lands to be sold fairly.
I frowned, went through all the boxes slowly and came across a comparatively smaller box full of spices, which was a jackpot and the most valuable thing here, to my knowledge. At least in my old world, Spices were worth more than their weight in gold, and I started to calculate in my head how much these things were worth and started to price out how much gold to demand from Carl in order for me to make everyone happy with it. There were things I would have to look into, but I was already coming up with a couple of gold coins, not including silver and copper coins.
I was in the Warehouse for an entire day, and after, I started to search and have Stacy work with me. It took almost a week to learn the value of everything in the warehouse, and the amount was staggering. It was ten thousand five hundred and forty gold coins, with the coin being worth one hundred and fifty gold and ninety-seven silver in total in just Silver and Copper minted coins. Another staggering amount. But it was different from how much I could demand from Carl as I doubted he had the liquid cash for all of that, and I had to let him profit from this exchange as well.
It took me almost another half a week to come up with what we would first start to move around. I paid for the warehouse for another couple of months with the Silver coins, making the warehouse owner very happy. Then it was time to plan and meet up with Carl very soon.
With all of that done, it was finally time to settle business with Avery, who had been annoying Freya with his attempts to see me while I dealt with the warehouse full of loot. I smiled as I walked into my brothel, which was starting to attract new clients again, but I had not found any that I was interested in. A couple of people requested me, only for me to feel they were not worth my time, and so I rejected them.
That now started a Rumor that there was a Sadistic Mistress in our Brothel who was extremely picky about their clientele. No one knew my standards, so I was getting even more requests for meetings along with Avery, who was practically pounding on my door.
At least he had my interest, so I finally came down to greet him outside to show that some people can be accepted and I don't reject everyone. I returned with him on my arm, headed up the stairs, and brought him into my room. Avery was smiling, but I could also feel how serious he was as I closed the door of my room.
"You have been ignoring me despite saying you would allow me to respond in a couple of days." Avery almost snapped, as I had already let go of him, and walked to the single chair in the room. I turned and sat, making it into a throne with my presence in it.
"Something came up," I said, bored. Emergencies need to be dealt with, and I am still addressing the issue." Avery flushed at me in a clearly dismissive tone, and I looked at him. That doesn't mean that I liked breaking my word, Avery. You are correct that I did." I said, my voice flat, I pulled out my claws and looked at them, checking to see if they were as sharp as normal. "So I am willing to allow you to be annoyed at me, Avery," I said and looked up at him.
Avery opened and closed his mouth, clearly very annoyed or frustrated. "I—I don't know what to do with you!" Avery snapped. Do you even want me around?"
"Avery, I am neutral," I replied, "I have many more uses for you being around than not," I continued bluntly, "But if you don't want to be here, you are a B ranker; I cannot contain you. You are free to leave at any time. I think you are amusing and I like playing with your body. But I will not force you to stay; last week, all those restraints I had you in were like nothing to you. You could have broken them by just flexing your muscles. I have no ability to bind you to me, and I like my control. I am Mistress Sally. I am a beast Trainer and Slave trainer. I am the one in charge and will not back down from my position in life."
Avery looked at me surprised, "Now, Avery," I said, cutting into his surprise, and stood up, walking over to him with a slight smile, "Do you remember the question I asked you over a week ago? After our last play session, how do you feel? Do you want to get to know the real me? Or do you want to play softly and remain in bliss but never know more than the surface level? I will take your gold and you can have a night under my thumb. If you answer that you want to know the real me, I will show you a glimpse tonight."
Avery opened his mouth, closed it, and looked at me. "You infuriate me, and I am still horny as ever after seeing you. You are my Ideal woman, and fill it out perfectly," He paused and closed his eyes. Avery took a deep breath and glared at me, "I did not hate what you did to me last time. I never knew I could reach those levels of pleasure by letting myself go under the control of another. I will admit to you now: I want to see and meet the real you."
My smile was bright and sadistic as I saw him falling into the trap, and I wondered if he could ever escape. "Then strip to your underwear and come to me and kneel, and I will show you a glimpse of my real self unfiltered, and we will see if your answer changes."
