Things were going smoothly right now as we were preparing to move forward with the transport. This time, with the silver and copper, I purchased a car and wagon for the start of our transportation business. It was a strategic move, a step towards self-sufficiency. I could do a Clandestine meeting without leaving a paper trail that would lead back to me.
Although I was taking a lot more risk in the Demon Lands, it was necessary given its much more stable economy over the Empire and the Kingdom. It was funny to me that the Demons were doing warfare and governing better than the humans. I don't know why it was so funny, but this place was a much better run.
That did not mean that people like me could not thrive in such an area. it was just harder to get started, so now it was time to get the last investment money needed. I could only hope that 'Daddy' upheld his part of the bargain. We could both make it out like bandits in this transaction, and the attack on the docks would be close behind it. The Carriages might have to be scrapped after that, though, maybe burned, as we did not want to leave behind evidence pointing to me.
I sighed as I sat beside Avery in the wagon as it worked its way through the streets. Avery had not been told the truth about the night, but he did believe that we were swapping goods with someone. It was in the dark because some of the things were of Questionable origin, I told him. He seemed to have accepted that wholesale, especially after I took him for another ride and left him gasping for air.
For such a formidable man, his cock sure was weak to this Mistress. He was now with us all, covered in Cloaks to ensure that no one would be able to tell our identities. I also told him to hide his strength as best as possible from the other side. For better or worse, I would rather they did not know that I had a Second B ranker.
When we met up with 'Daddy's' People, they were very professional. We met in the set spot and transferred our loot for the supplies promised, plus a Hundred Gold coins that were shown to me. I looked them over, and nodded, "All good; tell your boss I am happy with our Exchange. Looking forward to the follow-up," I said, not wanting Avery to know how much gold I had just made. Then I set back and left toward the warehouse with the goods.
Not long later, I finished the entire thing with a smile on my face. I put the goods aside but took the gold back to the brothel. Soon, I would have a meeting with the Lich once more for a long night of plundering the Docks for ships. That was when I would have to be on my toes and be prepared to fight.
I was going to have to start scouting and securing the area without bringing Avery into things. He clearly was not ready to go that far into things with me. He was a strong devil but he was only here because of lust.
"So, What did you get there?" Avery asked as we entered the Brothel again as i headed toward the stairs.
I turned and looked him up and down, "Investment and some supplies for something I need to start working on. I plan to open a series of businesses and that was just the start of me selling things for more than I would have on the open market," I told him bluntly, "Nothing I sold to those people were illegal. Neither was the stuff I purchased although the origins where they came from probably allowed the price to cheapen. Do you understand what I mean?"
"You know you are giving money to criminal organizations?" Avery asked and I laughed.
"Do you think this Mistress is Stupid?" I asked with a humor in my tone but by the end my voice was dry and glaring at him. "Yes, i know that," I told him showing him to my room and I walked over to my chair and sat in it like it was a throne. I could see the bulge in his pants and I sneered, "Avery, I am new here. There is many businesses around and competition with Succubus in the Brothel industry is tight. I am working with Interspecies sex and Sadomasochism. It did not help the previous owner drove away all their business before i took over. Now, I have a small group of girls and I need larger businesses and I am impatient. So I needed supplies for a venture and the only place I could secure it was with a Discount. You understand?"
"What is the business venture?" Avery asked.
This time I did sneer, "A Cheaper Brothel for Succubi that want to get pregnant or something by the Docks. I have not fleshed out the details but I am thinking of doing a cheap turn around brothel."
Avery looked surprised and I chuckled, "I also want to start an Ingredient store and general goods store. If I am going to be doing those then I should also start a transportation business along with that. Now, I need to gather talent and people for that. I need gold in order to do that. I get gold by having businesses and get people to work for my benefit. You understand now, Avery? I have limited Gold, and saving dozens of gold coins by buying Fenced goods is worth it for me temporarily."
Avery looked at me with a thoughtful expression then I saw him relent and nod. "I don't like it, but I am just glad that you are in my life. You are such a powerful woman and perfect for me."
"Avery, You are an interesting toy to me at this point. That is all, I will not lie to you,' I replied with a chuckle. "Now, Abou-"
Suddenly a knock on the door from Freya took my attention and cut me off. I turned, "Enter," I stated and I could see Freya grinning ear to ear.
"Mistress, There is a Very Important Guest requesting your Type of services hoping to book an Appointment. They fit all your Criteria. I think you will want to see her." Freya said flatly looking at Avery.
"Very well," I replied, "Avery, It seems our talk is done. I want to call you over for some play soon. How about three days from now?" I asked.
"I would love to," Avery said, his face brightening up, and he turned, "I will leave out the back door."
With that Avery left. he was smart and understood I was ambitious.
