His sixth sense had warned him accordingly, and not even a minute went by as a party of some twenty people dressed quite fancily came into their view. In the middle of this collection of people were four young men dressed even more extravagant than the rest of the group. Their clothes seemed to be made of some top quality materials, and Rex even saw something that looked like gold threads sewn in their clothes. The remaining sixteen around the four seemed to be complimenting them from time to time, agreeing with whatever they were saying and in any other way possible trying to impress the four young masters and curry their favor.
'Just dont be retarded shits and pass by.' Rex thought to himself as his group were on their way back home. But of course some of the ass kissing lackey just had to notice the exquisite beaties in Rex group. Not only they were increadibly beautifull, their were also quite exotic collection of women. After all there were three orc beauties with different body types, a wolf girl and an elf, all capable of enticing the lust of most men. Not to mention Irinas almost divine beauty. The simple and modest attire the girls were wearing made their allure even more mystifying, since they were not trying to exibit their beauty to the world. Some arrogant pricks could possibly take that as a challenge, and the four young masters belonged to aforementioned category.
As soon as they noticed Rex group, they quickly changed the dirrection, straight on the path to intercept. And wery soon they were blocking Rex path. Rex could see the lust and desire in the eyes of the young men, and he sighed. Just how stupid they have to be to just go annoy another group in the noble district when they should be well aware that there is a blood mage who keeps to himself living in the nobles quarter as well.
The young master in the middle, who seemed to be the most important one in their group was starting to speak
"Well hello there la.." when Rex used slightly elevated voice, inerrupting the man
"Shut it, and get lost before I lose my patience."
"Just who do you think you are?" another one of the four spoke up, a smirk appearing on his face.
"We feel quite offended by your lack of manners. I do believe it will require the servives of those ladies around you to make us even consider forgiving you." Quite a lot af agreeing nods and affirmative words sounded from the lackeys around them. Rex sighed once more.
"i hope your families have very deep coffers and other heirs besides you, because if you yap out another retarded shit idea like you just mouthed, they will need every bit of it." and with that said Rex used his mana to multiply the pressure on their group. With his reserves after the amount draining he had done in the deep floors, it was quite easy, after all, not a single person in the young masters group exeeded C class power. If Rex so wished, be could probably squish them with this same application of mana usage, if he increased the pressure enough.
With eevryone in the group falling to their knees from the pressure, out from the shadows jumped six men. They were dressed in clothes that allowed them to sink in the shadows and dark corners of the surroundings with greater ease. Rex reasoned they were the guards assigned to watch over the young lords and ladies of the respective noble houses.
"Well, I expect the family names those for retards belong to." Rex adressed the shadow guards "To have absolutely zero awareness of where they are and who they dare to offend, I worry for the future of the respective families." Seeing as the guards where not takign any action just yet, probably another one or few had rushed to report to their superiors, since this was the noble quarter, so no common rabble would be strolling around.
"Are we waiting for the representatives of your houses?" Rex asked once again, and one of the guards hesitatingly noded. the guards were at the pinnacle of B class, and they could feel the pressure affecting their young masters. It was more humiliating than damaging, and seeing the ease with which the masked mage was pressing them down, they were not even remotely sure of their ability to take him down, not to mention ensuring the safety of their wards.
"STOP STALLING ADN TAKE THAT CUNT OUT!" one of the young masters half yelled, since he was having a hard time with the pressure. He felt utterly humiliated, being forced to his knees by some random mage, who hadnt even bothered to learn their background. Forced to kneel like a common rabble. What was even more infuriating was the pure disgust with which the women by the mages side looked at the young masters.
"Well, I hope they arrive withe haste, my time is precious" Rex spoke once more, and he had an ingenious idea pop in his head. He used another partition of his mind to bend the mana like he did so when creating mana chains, just changed the shape of the mana construct. With all his practise with making his chains serve as literral chainsaw chains, morphing and making them sharp adn other manipulation, he sucseeded quite easily with his new task. The result was the appearing of chairs for every one of Rex party, and he sat down, enjoying the pleasant feeling of his creation. His girls followed his example and also sat down.
His action together with the relaxed way he appeared to do it humiliated the kneeling masters even more. They were forced on their knees, while the opposing party sat leasurely on chairs in the middle of the noble districts street. What was even worse, some servants had passed by and had spread the word wery quiclky to their masters, and a crowd was slowly forming. The rich and powerfull always enjoyed a spectacle at the expense of others, they were even more elated if that spectacle humiliated another noble house.
In the fifteen minutes it took for the representatives of their houses to arrive quite the crowd had gathered to witness the show that was about to happen. Rex noticed quite a few lecherous gazes in the dirrection of his girls, especially Irina, since she was arguably the most beautifull of them all. Of course Mel would take the first place if one was more of a milf lover, or Aisha if you fancied animal ears. Even with the relaxed state Rex was in, he was diligent in appraising everyone that arrived, to ensure his girls were always safe and to be able to asess the danger level of the people present. He also didnt forget to make a small increasein pressure of the people in the crowd who shoved too much lust and desire for his girls. He coudl somewhat feel their escalating desire to posess what was his adn something deep within him felt quite annoyed at their audacity. It almost felt like a slumbering dragon who was waking from its sleep because some lesser creatures were plotting to empty its treasure hoard.
When Rex saw the guards what had the same attire as the ones that jumped out to prevent the escalation, he appraised the people they had brought with them. With the strongest being barely mid A class he planned the next few courses of action. He had absolutely nothing to worry about- it was his home city, the lord of this place was someone he could call friend, and Victor was more than just interested in keeping him here. The stupid young masters had gone out of their way to annoy him and demand his girls for their entertainment. And event went as far as to order one of the guards to take him out. Right, and they called him a CUNT. Whats worse, they didnt even seem repentant regarding their wrongdoings- clearly the failiure of their upbringing. Rex probably charge their families for the lesson in humility as well.
'When did I become so shameless?' Rex asked himself in his mind as he saw the representatives of the offending master houses aproaching. He though for a moment and asked a question to one of his girls
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
"Hey Val, think you could take out them all in a one on one fights?" The girl in question looked at the aproaching group for a while and answered
"I believe i would win every one on one, if i were to fight them when im at my best." Rex smiled at her estimation, because she was correct. No one of the aproaching people were anywhere near Val in terms of energy output, be it mana or raw vitality, indicating their physical prowess.
"We would request that you release our people there" one of the representatives spoke, gesturing to the kneeling group.
"While that is not entirely imposible, those pups have not only offended me, but they had the audacity to demand my women here to entertain them. They even spat at my kindness to allow them to leave after their outrageous demand. Then add the fact that they dont even seem to repent their wrongdoing as I can almost feel their blood lust. And the one in the middle even had the gall to call me a cunt, when you can clearly tell from my voice that I am a man." Rex expressed his percieved grievances, and the way he did so, reinforced the belief of everyone here that the powerfull mages are indeed very eccentric and strange.
His words were followed by a minute of silence as the representatives were quickly thinking of the best way to solve the issue at hand. They had to ensure that their wards were recovered as soon as possible to stop their houses from being shamed any further, and they also had to not offend the mage too much since they could see he was incredibly powerfull. They also had to figure out the affiliation of the mage. If the man belonged to mages guild, they would have to send a sizable gift to them as to appease and avoid a conflict. They were a pridefull bunch and tended to react poorly towards anyone who dared to offend their members.
"May we know the esteemed mages name?" a representative asked, and Rex simply replied
"If you win the main atraction of the grand auction you will, once you arive with your request." Rex words created a deadly silence in the street. Every decision making noble that had arrived in Blythe for the auction new that the main thing was the possiblility to negotiate with the blood mage, and he would agree to a single branding, provided they payed the right amount. It was not just the single branding that the nobles would bet on, It was the guaranteed ability to negotiate with the man. If they provided enough benefits or intrigued the mage they might even secure a long lasting contract. The possibilities with such an oportunity would be near endless, so it was only nattural that the representatives were cursing these young masters in their heads right now. They had possibly fucked over their families chances to impress the mage.
Rex saw the representatievs swetting quite a bit, trying to figure out the best way to fix their sittuation, but he had already achieved his main goal. A crowd had been gathered, example made, now he just had to conclude this in a manner that didnt blast the families involved below the belt, but at the same time making his point clear.
"I had such a nice outing as well, it would be a waste to spoil the evening. So you get lucky, and will recieve your people alive." as he said that he released the pressure on the youngsters, who collapsed as soon as the field was removed.
"Make no mistake, I am expecting a proper gift for my kindness, and I would advise you to educate your youngsters. There will not be another chance." Rex then raised his voice a little, ensuring everyone in the crowd could hear
"I will not show any mercy to the next offender."
With that said he got up, folowed by his ladies, the chairs dissipating in mana particles, and left for his mansion. He could feel the exitement in his girls and their chatter. They seemed quite happy with Rex's conduct and were exited he called his girls. Aina had to poke fun at Rex, since she too was his girl now. And while jabbing and Rex and having fun, she felt quite warm with how protective he acted with them all. She might not be his lover yet, be she sure as hell was his girl.
As Rex was returning home and prepearing for the rest of the evening, at another mansion in the noble district a very beautifull lady with blonde, waist long hair was sitting in a study, listening in on the report a subordinate of hers was giving her.
"Hmm, that seems troublesome. His mana reserves imply at least A class, and at least one of the girls is A class as well. His mana controll is also quite impressive. He must be at least middle age with such fine control. Simple entralling with beauty will not work. His actions in the little show displays his ability to think, since he chose a rather efficient way do ensure no trouble find him on the surface, and any covert moves made would be met with absolute destruction. Hmm, quite complicated." Elena Vex was working on the best way to ensure her missions sucsess. Near her in another chair was sitting Royce Rambert, scribbling something in his journal.
"Anything to add Royce?" she asked the man who had sent his agents adn had spent the last few days himself digging any and all info he could on the blood mage. They needed every single detail they could aquire to plan accordingly and increase the probability of sucsess.
"Nothing decisive right now. Our spies did bring me some interesting info however. Apparently the biggets slaev trader in Blythe- Brogni, had been inquiring about quite the exotic slaves. Seeing the sudden interest there is a bit chance that the mage had made the requests."
"Hoo, and pray tell me, what is our target so keen on aquiring?" Elena asked, some possible schemes already forming in her mind.
"Word is, he is looking for a kitsune. If she is skilled in tea making- even better." Roy responded with a slight smirk.
"Why not just ask for a priness of their royal family straight away!" She exclaimed, and a bitter laugh escaped her mouth. This path was a no go either, but that was okay. Time is what she had, and the mage would provide her with countless oportunities to create the perfect strategy and plan for a flawless execution of her plan. She would start her approach with a rather cautios methods. Adn if all that fails she could always kidnap one of his servants and torture them for information.
"Anything of note regarding your other asignment?" she then asked Royce.
"A pureblooded forsaken was seen by a couple of our spies. They lost the man when tracking him to find his place of residence." At this words the saintess scowled, her disgust with the mere notion of such creatures still walking the face of earth apparent.
"Make it a priority to dispose of it discreetly. We have to wait for more information regarding the mage anyways."
Her words brought smile to the inquisitors face. he could focus on his holy mission of purification. Nothing brought greater joy to the man.
Meanwhile, in four different places conversations of similar natures to one another took place. The four families, whose young masters had offended the blood mage had contacted their superiors back in their home domains. The representatives presented the situation, and the way mage had resolved it. The lords back at their homes came to a similar conclusion to that of Elena Vex. The man was experienced, and he was sending a message. The fact that their foolish children were the first was both a blessing and a curse. They did lose some reputation with the foolish action of the kids, and it would cost them some valuable materials, but at the same time these gifts the mage demanded was a chance to impress him and show the family goodwill.
They discussed the best possible comensation gifts they could send, adn the punishment of their foolish family members. It took them hours to come to a conclusion, and their choices varied, but all gifts would surely be valuable.
Eredar , Brogni and Victor also met Rex that evening after every one had recieved a retelling of the sittuation that had occured in the nobles quarter. Rex didnt miss teh oportunity to pull the leg of the trio
"Gentlemen, you had only one important task to perform, ignoring the insane amount of tasks needed to be done for the autcion, and that was to make sure every stupid noble knows that the blood mage might stroll around, so their stupid pups dont go and piss him off. And you have failed miserably. Whatever should I do now?" His intonation and overly theatrical emphasis of words quite quickly brought the room to laughter, adn while they had calmed down a little Rex added
"To be fair, it was only a matter of time for this to happen. We were quite lucky with this. i love to get the annoying shit done ASAP."
Then they talked a bit about the progress of the last polishes for the auction, Rex handed over ten killos of the gold grade meat for the auction, and they had a meal together. Rex friends saw the atmosphere in the dining room as they joined him.
"You know i will not be recieving any guests who cannot be brought to my dinner table. I love the atmosphere that we have created here." is what Rex said when they saw how all his girls were joining him for dinner, and they had to admit- it was quite nice setting. During the meal they praised Aishas ability to cook and Brogni even joked that he would love to reaquire her for his own personal cheff position. After the meal they all left and Rex manor went silent, exept for a single room from which moans of happiness and pleasure resounded for hours into the night.
