"Turning this city into a vassal?" Daniel raised his eyebrow in questioning that was mixed with extreme interest.
All this time, he had only thought of growing his sect into a large base, but he never considered turning a city into a vassal.
It was such an interesting idea that aroused his sense of kingship which wanted to rule over the world.
He had no ambition to conquer the world unless it was related to women. But that doesn't mean he had no interest. If he needed to conquer the world because he wanted all of the women, then, perhaps it would be a great idea.
However, he knows that it's quite impossible to conquer every single woman. But he had the urge to satisfy all the needs of a woman whether in terms of power, wealth, health, or even lust.
Thus, he can't help but be intrigued by the idea of turning the city into a vassal.
"Yes, turning the city into a vassal. We have considered the unimaginable possibilities of walking this path where it's cut off from the influence of the Imperial Family" Zuke said.
He knows that he had caught Daniel's interest and it was a moment of the pitch where he should begin to convince him without crossing Daniel's limits.
Daniel took his time to think as he placed his fingers under his chin.
This scenery portrays exactly how a company was trying to pitch a billionaire investor, and as Daniel pondered more, he realized that it wasn't such a bad idea to turn a city into a vassal.
And perhaps that would greatly spread his influence around nearby cities. After all, the city of Cetra was just one of the many thousands of cities throughout the Continents.
"What do you think ladies?" After a minute of contemplating, he decided to ask the 4 women's opinions.
He didn't just want to make all this about him, he would prefer if they put in more opinions in his decisions as that would make them more involved in his life.
With that said, he would know their manners of thinking, what they like or don't. It was simply an assessment of who they are.
"I will support whatever decision you'll make master," Elizabeth said with a warm smile. She had studied and had some education in this matter, however, she'll support whatever decision he'll make.
She was like an obedient wife that would cling to and follow her husband all around.
"M-Master, I'll just support in whatever you do" Crista answered timidly. She has absolutely no idea what they were talking about, hence, she couldn't relate.
Growing up in a household that was full of abuse, the amount of education she received was meagre. As such, the topics they had been discussing had been boiling her mind.
She couldn't understand what would be so good about the idea of a vassal, but knowing that her master was interested in it, she greatly supported it.
Overall, seeing how her cheeks were puffed up as she showed her support for his decision, Daniel finds it adorable.
"There's no need to worry about what would be the choice master as all of us will support it" Megan tried showing her best in supporting Daniel's decision, and hers was adorable as well.
She grew similarly to Elizabeth, thus, she received her education and knows the pros and cons. But no matter what, she would follow her master like a fanatic believer.
"Darling, I believed you should accept their proposal of turning the city into a vassal" Eventually, Fresia responded to her master's question, and her answer was a little bit different.
"Why?" Daniel asked with a simple yet powerful question. He wanted to know the reasons behind her support.
"We know that your priority is accepting disciples as much as you can and that is a fact. And while accepting disciples from this city might be easy, it would be challenging for the other cities"
Fresia used to be a matriarch, thus, she knew that what Daniel needed wasn't just a yes or no helper, he needed someone akin to a secretary that could help him brainstorm ideas.
After all, for Daniel, the sect that he aims for wasn't just going to satisfy his needs, but also a place where they could aid him in many ways other than lust.
He wasn't indirectly or directly disappointed with the other 3 responses as he loved and appreciated their love for him. But he wanted them to be more outspoken about their ideas.
Hearing Fresia's explanation, he thought it was plausible since the number of cities lying on this continent was over thousands.
"We all are aware that the City of Cetra is the lowest-ranking city amongst all thousands of cities, and if master wishes to recruit disciples from the mid-ranking, we needed more than just a sect"
"We'll have to somehow increase our influence, and by turning this vassal into a sect, it would greatly attain attention from all around us" Fresia explained.
"I see. That's one way to describe it" Daniel nodded his head with satisfaction as he finds her reason sensible. Of course, he could just turn in every city and showed his power, but that would just spoil the fun.
"Turning the city into a vassal is a great idea, but how are you both going to convince the rest of the noble families and the 5 sects? I doubt they would agree with it and if they spill trouble, I don't mind having bloodshed with them, however, I do not want to spill any unnecessary blood"
"After all, a loss of a woman to me is greater than the loss of millions of spiritual stones," Daniel said.
Both Zuke and Viston gulped their throats when he mentioned 'Bloodshed'. They had seen how terrifying his power can be and they believed they had only seen a fraction of it.
Thus, only a fool would go against him.
"We have made an audience with the remaining noble families and also the 5 sects in City, and we're going through this phase of the meeting with them. Although they have responded negatively, over time, they changed their mind" Viston said.
"So you mean to say?"
"Yes, we could produce the results within the next few days" Zuke added.
"Then I will expect a good result" Daniel smiled and this was a sign that he agreed with their plan. Thus for the next half an hour, they conversed on another topic as they enjoyed the tea and desserts.
"Once again, this tea is quite good" Daniel complimented once again.
After half an hour had passed by, Daniel eventually thought it was time to leave and return to the sect.n0Velusb.c0m
"Then if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave and will return in a week" Daniel announced.
"Then, I'll gladly wait for your arrival," Both Zuke and Viston said their farewells to him and also to their daughters.
"I will miss you Father and would write you a letter" Elizabeth was emotional at this moment since it would be her first time staying away from her only blood relative.
But at some point, she needed to leave to find the meaning of her life. On the other hand, Megan was extremely excited.
As someone who couldn't walk, she finds this journey exciting. Moreover, to be able to stay within one corner of her lover, she was beyond happy.
In the end, all of them had reached the entrance of the sect thanks to Fresia's ability where the ladies were surprised and marvelled with her void abilities.
"Alright, we're finally here ladies," Daniel said as he was outside his sect after Fresia had used her portal ability.
"Master, where's the sect?" Fresia questioned.
"I don't see anything husband" Megan looked for the sect but couldn't find any.
"Did we come to the wrong place master?" Elizabeth asked.
"M-Master, there's no sect here" Crista searched vigorously, but there wasn't any sect in her sight.
"Right. I forgot that you can't see" Daniel chuckled at their cute reactions and he couldn't blame them since he had forgotten that he had turned on the defence mechanism of the sect.
No cultivators would be able to infiltrate if, in the first place, they couldn't sense or see the existence of the sect. It was simply invincible and what they saw was only a barren land.
"How about now, do you see it?" He turned off the defence mechanism and the function that stealth away the whole sect finally reappeared.
And he didn't forget to turn off the Attack Mechanism as well.
"!?" Their expressions were amused to look at as the sect began to reveal itself domineeringly. When the gate of the sect appeared grandly, all of them trembled not because of fear, but because their wombs throbbed.
The word 'Heavenly Harem Sect' was carved on the gate and its aura was potent that their wombs were affected.
At the same time, they felt an insight where their cultivation had increased at a moderate rate. They felt a sense of belonging just by seeing the gate as it was a first impression that dominate their minds.
"Let's enter inside" He guided them in entering the sect and upon entering, all of them were swayed by the atmosphere and environment of the sect.
All of them could tell that the quality of the qi in the air is perhaps thousands of times better than the outside.
But most importantly, they were awed by the wonders of the sect.
There were buildings that they have never seen before and a tower that pressured them even though their physique and bloodline were one of the strongest ones.
They had no words to describe how extraordinary the sect was, but at the same time, all of them had the same thought.
'As expected of master'
"Master...you're back!"
Not far away from them, Cecilia began running toward and she jumped on him without being bothered by the looks of the women.
"I miss you master..." She whispered as she hugged him tightly, afraid that he would once again leave.
"I miss you too my dear disciple" Daniel caressed her hair before Cecilia was satisfied.
Though it only had been a day, Cecilia had greatly missed her master and now that he had returned, she couldn't help but want to stay close next to him.
"This is a good chance for me to introduce all of you to Cecilia" Daniel wanted to introduce Cecilia to his disciples and he hope that all of them would get along with one another, but his concerns were unnecessary.
"Nice to meet you Cecilia and we're master's disciples" Elizabeth introduced herself to her new sister.
''I'm Megan''
''I-I'm Crista''
''And I'm Fresia''
They introduced themselves to her and at first, Cecilia was a bit timid but after getting to know all of them, she forged a bond that she never thought she could have.
They became sisters of a lifetime within a timespan of a few minutes as it was as though they were real sisters.
Daniel was baffled yet amused by how fast they quickly grew to each other's presence and if he didn't see for himself, he would not doubt that they were blood-related.
At the same time, his heart was warmed by how they were chattering blissfully and making Cecilia comfortable with them. He was worried that in the future, all of his women might not have a good relationship with one another, but seeing the sight in front of him, he was proved wrong.
And he couldn't help but smile.
"Alright now that all of you are here, I think it's time I will explain what all this sect is about," Daniel said as he urged them to follow him to the Sect Hall.
"Master...this is beautiful. I've never seen anything like this" Elizabeth commented as she gazed around the hall with awe.
"Sister Elizabeth, I think beautiful is an understatement. The right word would be heavenly" Fresia had sensed the atmosphere of the hall was entirely another level compared to the outside.
'Master's existence is beyond measurable. I even got goosebumps just from seeing the throne...and that throne...really suits my master'
She gazed at the throne as though she was a devoted believer in religion.
Megan and Crista were absorbed by the art of the hall and they were looking around, trying to understand how could such a place built in a land where there's no village nearby.
They wonder even more about his existence and recall the moment they were enlightened by the cards, they believed that their master was above the existence of an Immortal.
"Alright. As you all know, I've brought all of you here because I need to explain the rules and regulations of the sect"
Daniel sat on the throne and his 5 women looked at him with respect as they listened attentively to his words.
His tone and expression were showing the demeanour of a leader, and there must be times when he'll need to be firm with his harem such that there won't be any troubles between all of them.
