Chapter 143:
Tarek City
________
It was almost 20:00.
Tarek city is a middle-sized city that could contain around a million people within.
Most of its population were humans, but it's not too rare to see elves, dwarfs, or half-humans too. Most of those races met with discrimination on a small or large scale in any human society.
Brothels and slave market were the most active at night time as they fought with each other for clients' attention and their money.
Prostitution and slavery were legal, and for some women, it was the only possible way to survive.
The slave market contained almost any of those race members to sell. Most of them naturally were women of elves and half-human races as they become sex toys for buyers while dwarfs were mostly males who are bought mostly for hard work.
Since it was the winter season, the skies were already dark despite being only 20:00.
*Chatering~*
Hundreds of people walked back and forth on the main road. Some shops were still open but some others were already closed.
*Sound of the moving carriage*
The luxurious big carriage with the tiger in the front carrying it was moving through the main road to the center of the city, gathering curious bystanders' gazes.
"It's Sky Tiger, right?" asked one of the shop's customers.
"Yes, it is... As far as I know, only one place relatively nearby took them as their pets," answered the nearby shop's owner as he and customers stood near the window.
"Rising Tiger Sect… Still, for me, it is quite a weird choice of name for such a big sect," said one of the customers.
"Is some rich man visiting us today?" said an owner of the shop as he surveyed the carriage.
"Maybe. I heard that someone will hold a banquet in our city. Maybe this carriage is related to it," answered the customer who was in that shop.
…
Outside the shop, a few children gathered around the slow-moving carriage.
"Wow… So beautiful…" said a little girl of 5 years old as she ran closer to the carriage, almost standing in front of it.
*Roar!*
The Sky Tiger roared at the girl, making her fall to the ground, and was on the verge of crying.
The women nearby heard a roar and turned to look. The moment she saw that girl in front of a huge tiger with big wings, her heart almost stopped.
But she quickly came back to her senses.
"What are you doing there?! Come back here right now! Don't come closer to that carriage!" shouted a mature woman as she noticed that her little curious daughter had suddenly left her side.
She dropped the basket with food and ran to take her back. She arrived and scolded her daughter for leaving her side.
*Stop*
The carriage had stopped while one of its windows on the second cabin suddenly opened.
*Creak*
The young handsome man's face appeared for the view of the citizens.
The man calmly looked at the young girl and at her mother with a smile.
"What a beautiful child. Do you like this carriage?"
The girl's eyes brightened.
"Yes, I do! This is my first time seeing something this beautiful, mister." answered the girl as her mother anxiously held her from behind.
"You are her mother I assume. How about you both come inside for a ride? It's comfortable here and I could ride you straight to your house," said the man with an innocent smile.
"Yey!"
The girl jumped and turned to look at her mother.
"Can we, mother, please?" she asked with a pleading voice.
"No, we can't. We need to be home already. Your father is waiting, forget?" said mother as she caressed her daughter's head.
The girl strangely looked at her mother.
"Father? But I don't h-"
"Enough. We bought fresh food, so let's go home. I will cook you your favorite meat meal, okay?" said the mother as she persuaded her daughter.
The girl lowered her head.
"...Okay. Sorry mister, but I need to go home," said the girl as rejected the offer.
The man looked at the girl and then at her mother with a friendly smile.
"I have food here too, so why not join me and-" the man still tried to persuade them to enter the carriage, but was interrupted by an old voice.
"Leave them alone, Rhett, we are busy. The city lord is already waiting," said slightly irritated elder Ronald who was sitting in the other cabin of the same carriage in the first row.
Rhett looked at Ronald before turning to the girl's mother with a smile.
"Sorry, mam, but it looks like we are in hurry. I'm sure that fate will make us meet again. Have a good day. *Close*" said Rhett smilingly before closing the window as the carriage resumed its journey.
*Sound of moving carriage*
When the carriage left the street, the girl's mother finally relaxed.
"Mother. Why did you mention my dead father?" asked the curious young girl.
"Dear, you are still too young to fully understand what dangerous world we are living in. Remember, never EVER talk to other people you don't know or trust, and it doesn't matter how friendly they are, understand?" the mother bent on her knee and looked into her daughter's eyes as she seriously said that while holding her shoulders.
"... Okay, I will remember it," answered the girl.
"Good girl. I didn't lie about your favorite meal, so let's go home, it's already too dark to stroll on the streets," said the mother and stood up before taking her daughter's hand.
"Yay! I love you cooking so much, mommy. I wonder if I will learn how to cook as well as you," said the excited girl.
"One day you will, dear. Especially after you meet the person that will cherish it, just like I did for your father in the past and now for you. Family is the most important thing in a person's life," said the mother as they walked towards their home nearby.
"Family… Will I have one? Is this hard to get? I will work hard for it," said the girl.
"Silly, right now I'm your only family, but in the future, it will change."
"I love you, mummy," said the girl and tightened her grip on her mother's hand.
"Me too, my dear. You are the only one I have left."
They both continued to happily chat while walking home.
…
After Rhett closed the window, his friendly face changed.
He looked at his beautiful 3rd rank 30 years old female bodyguard who was sitting nearby him in a daily brown robe.
She was an inner disciple in Untouched Flower Sect but after she felt that she reached her limit in the elemental system, she decided to sell herself to the Trest family of the Rising Tiger Sect for a monthly income of a few low-tier "WC". This way she could somewhat raise her "WE" body storage and slow her aging. She could learn some low-tier "WC" in her sect too by doing missions, but it was too small for her needs.
This way, she won't need to compete for missions with other sect members and could just gain much more by doing almost nothing.
Almost nothing.
"Jasmine, after the banquet ends, find the name of that woman and bring her to me. Her daughter sells to the slave market. She will definitely grow into a beautiful sex doll in the future, but it will not bring me a lot of profit. After you finish, hide your tracks and burn their house. If everyone sees you, kill them. I don't want the problems from the city lord," said Rhett calmly before his arm slid under her skirt.
"Ahh~ A-As you wish, master Rhett," Jasmine lightly moaned as his fingers touched her clitor.
The day she signed the contract with the Trest family, she was bedded by Rhett at night, and as time passed, she slowly accepted her new life as a sex slave with benefits.
This was way better than slowly rotting in the Untouched Flower Sect and then being used by the sect in some marriage agreement that will bring her no benefits whatsoever since they all will go to her sect.
As Rhett's hand played with something in her panties, he said in his mind.
'That bitch dared to reject my offer… Fine… I will turn you into a whore before selling you into slavery just like your daughter.'
In the second cabin was only him and Jasmine while Ronald was alone in the first one.
"Stand up, turn around, and spread your legs," ordered Rhett as he sent his fingers into her wet pussy.
The carriage moved slowly and on the even road, so the trembling of the carriage was very small.
That sexy girl's mother had really turned him on, but sadly she didn't enter, so he decided to release his lust on Jasmine.
"Yes~"
