Chapter 150.A Nobleman’s Promotion

''Hello there, I'm Jake.''

''No, you look suspicious as fuck. I ain't sucking your dick.'' 006 crawled back, looking apprehensive. She began coughing again, violently this time. It appeared she was sick.

Holding the gem ring, Jake played with it.

''It's used to tame the slave, master. If you rub the gem thrice, the collar on her neck would send magical bolts into her body. As long as you keep rubbing, the bolts won't stop,'' Ragan quickly explained.

Hearing this, 006 forcefully stopped her cough and tried looking obedient. She was surprised when the ring vanished from Jake's hand.

''Now, come here,'' he stretched his hand, clenching his fingers.

An invisible force suddenly pulled the panther girl. She quickly grabbed the cage's bars and tried resisting the Demonic Grasp. Dark Fire ate the chains on her wrist and shins, freeing the beastkin.

''Fuck… so you're a mage…'' 006 stood up and looked at her naked body.

The red marks of the chains on her flesh were fresh. Seeing the restraints gone made her smile wide.

006 looked at Ragan and asked in a soft voice, ''Hey pimp, who the fuck is he? I heard you call him master, but…''

The slave trader didn't speak. Seeing Jake wave his hand, Ragan took out a key and opened the cage.

''So he's really buying me? How much did he pay?'' 006 spat on her palms and rubbed her red wrists.

She coughed again and muttered, ''It better be over 100 golds…''

The cage's door opened and Ragan said, ''Get out and greet the master.''

The panther girl checked out Jake like a lecherous old man and whispered to the slave trader, ''Pimp, just tell me, how much are you selling me for?''

Getting no answer, she clicked her tongue. Suddenly, her body rose, and she got pulled. Jake caught her thin waist and pinched her cheeks.

''Fuc…Fvuck, dwon't… ugh! Grrr!'' She struggled and sharply looked at Jake. Shaking her legs, she tried biting and scratching Jake's arm.

006 huffed and puffed. There wasn't much strength left in her body. Knowing that she was hungry and sick, 006 stopped struggling and kept her eyes locked with this man.

''Interesting, really interesting…'' Jake licked his lips, tasting her frustration, pain, and fear.

Being treated as a sexual object was downright depressing. 006 felt like the world was against her, that she was born to suffer. So she acted like a freak girl. It was her psychological defense, a way to counter that depression.

'He's going to r.a.p.e me anyway… Heh.' The slave girl broke the eye contact and looked through the tent.

''She has some character, unlike the other slaves.'' Jake smiled and released the beastkin girl. It would be a waste to corrupt her so early, he liked her personality.

''Achoo!'' 006 covered her mouth.

'Fucking cold…' Her naked body trembled, and she walked ahead to stand under the sun's rays.

Ragan frowned, thinking she was going to run away. He was about to act but halted seeing his master's gaze.

Jake randomly took out some clothes from his inventory and threw them at the slave girl. They turned out to be school girl clothes.

''Wear those and go outside,'' He ordered, using [Malefic Enchantment].

''Yes…'' 006 replied. It took her more time to dress in these unusual clothes.

Following Jake's order, she vacantly nodded and walked outside. The other slaves looked at this scene. Jealousy and slight hope brimmed in their eyes.

''Master…'' Ragan turned to Jake.

''Relax, she's not going anywhere,'' he said, scanning the tent with Magipathy.

''Wake up all the slaves,'' he ordered.

Ragan nodded and went through another curtain. He had kept the control rings in a drawer in another room.

Taking out all the rings, he began rubbing their gems. Cries of the slaves resounded in the tent as they jolted awake one by one. The sex slaves on the other tent cried as well, feeling electricity running through their bodies.

Once he found every slave was awake and that 006 had reached outside, Jake used the skill,

[Degeneration Halo]

Every slave inside the tents went through the process of corruption. From the start, Jake's intention was to use them for his needs. Almost all of them were useless in combat, but they could be his eyes and ears to monitor the nobles of Grimbow Kingdom.

Actually, Chesire was the capital city of Ardin province and it was near the dungeon he was heading toward. It wouldn't hurt to see the slaves there as well.

'Controlling the slave business seems vital.' Jake added another task on his checklist.

While his halo began degenerating the slaves' mind and body, he pulled up his status screen to see how many points were collected by now.

[Evil Points: 390,174]

''Not bad, at this I might have a million in a few more days.'' Jake smiled.

…

Nuving Province, Capital of the Grimbow Kingdom, Ulford.

''For your contributions to the Kingdom, I, 3rd Prince Splennar Leticia Philips, bestow you the title of the Count, lordship over the city of Orlando as well as the towns: Rustfall, Everlen, and Jacunad!'' The prince announced, sitting on his throne.

''You may take over the fief of the late Count Werbner and are entitled to controlling 100 First Circle Knights, 25 2nd Circle Knights, and 5 3rd Circle Knights.'' This was a rather generous bestowal for even a marquis.

Every nobleman attending this event couldn't help but click their tongue in jealousy as they glanced at the kneeling man. He got promoted from a baron to a count. What 'contribution' did he even do?

No one could wrap their head around this. Some thought it was blatant nepotism and they were right on mark.

''I thank His Highness, the 3rd Prince for having trust in me and giving me this opportunity.'' Below the throne, a blue-eyed and dark-haired man raised his head.

He appeared calm, unlike the other nobles and even had a slight smile on his face when he looked at the prince. Seeing the frown, the man quickly lowered his head.

''As the subject of His Majesty, the King - I, Leo Erswen, humbly accept this title and vow, on my name and honor, to serve the Kingdom until my eventual death!'' Proclaimed the hypocrite, inciting numerous claps from all the nobles gathered here.

No one knew how much they would regret letting this happen.
