Hanging Around The Valley

(Previous chapters have been heavily re-written. This chapter only makes sense if you have read the revised Sweetbush intro chapter. Now with sex scenes.)

I got home without any more incidents. I used The System to move my groceries directly from my inventory to the fridge and pantry. I checked my watch and realized that I had a couple of hours before my sister and niece came to check on me. I looked around at the setup I had made for myself. All of my things put away in a neat and tasteful location. For a few hours, I had nothing to do. The old me would have probably have browsed Netflix for something to watch or try to work on my next book and stare at the screen with frustration and writer's block.

Instead of that, I went to my elevator and opened the portal to Sugarbush Plantation. """Welcome home, Master.""" said a pair of adjinn girls wearing only jewelry who were kneeling beside the elevator doors. The pair of young nubiles rose to their feet and followed behind me. By the time I had reached the hallway, Gibbons was waiting for me with a fox girl holding a green beverage.
"Good afternoon, Master." My butler said. "Full restoration potion for you?"
"Thank you." I said, taking the glass and savoring the regenerative powers of the potion. <All Stats +100%>

I handed Gibbons the ruins of the suit. "Exactly how good is my tailor?"
"Nothing to fret over, Master, a few gun shots are easy enough to mend with the proper spell craft." Gibbons took the suit and placed it in his own inventory before asking me "Is Master interested in inspecting his grounds? Perhaps you would enjoy a soak in one of your baths?"
"A bath with Sarmantha and Meginda does sound amazing."

Gibbons expression suddenly turned sour. "My deepest apologies, Master, but neither woman is currently on the manor grounds."
"Where are they?" I asked, more curious than angry.
"Meginda is teaching a dueling practicum on the university's eastern campus." Gibbons began.
By the time the butler had finished saying the word 'university' I had pulled up the map in my HUD and started a search. It was easy enough to find both of them. I could see that Meginda was in a room with a number of humans, ELFs, and adjinn. Most of whom I could not identify, but quite a number of which were my slaves. Their names, faces, ranks, and titles all for me to see.
"Meginda is a battle mage?" I said, astonished.
"Indeed, she was a decorated officer in her kingdom's sky cavalry, her husband was a talented enginator. The university bought the whole family." Gibbons said. "As for Sarmantha, well. I do apologize if I acted imprudently Master, but, well, she had a family matter come up. Her sister just had a baby, and I gave her leave to see her family. Had I known that you would desire her again so soon. I..."
"You did the right thing." I said as I saw the young **** girl's icon in my HUD surrounded by her mother, father, sisters, brothers, as well as their romantic and breeding partners, in a small two story house that was just one of a large grid of tightly packed housing units adjacent to the croplands and pastures.

As if he could read my mind, Gibbons asked me "Shall I have the stables prepare a ride for you?" I said nothing for a moment.
"Due bare in mind, Master, you have any number of eager concubines who would be delighted to entertain you."
"Gibbons." I had a thought, but it was one of those thoughts that one is afraid to say aloud out of fear of what one can do with the information. "Taelanya talked about, um, procurement teams."
"Yes Master. There is no mortal on The Great Ring or beyond who can evade capture once your procurers are set upon them. The Old Master personally armed and trained them himself to find anyone, anywhere, and bring them to, well, you. Usually bound under The **** Codes."
"Does that include people from Earth?" I asked.
Gibbons laughed. "Of course, Master. You would be amazed how many 'suicides' and 'tragic plane crashes' were The Old Master's procurers cleaning up after themselves."
"So that woman who looked like Marilyn Monroe in my harem is actually..." Gibbons nodded. "Wow!" I said. Now thinking of all of the celebrities it would be fun to meet. I imagined Emma Watson, Anya Taylor Joy, and Sydney Sweeney collared and in chains being yanked by their leashes as they were brought before me and made to kneel. Then I thought about my new boss and her adorable daughter and how they might look on their knees in chains.

Then my brain could not help but play that same scenario in front of my mind, only this time it was Ashley, Mira, and Kat in chains.
"I am so sorry. Master. Please forgive me." I imagined my ex-wife pleading.
"I love you Daddy." I imagined Mira saying.
"I am sorry, Daddy." I imagined Kat saying.

I shook those thoughts out of my mind, took a deep breath, and considered my options.
