Wonder did get out before chaos ensued. But while there was some minor panic that they all heard before reaching camp, it was actually pretty calm by the time they got there. Blood popped up. Wonder, ready for some shit you will hate?

Wonder said, “I gotta take someone else out?”

Wish it was that simple. They have Deathlock collars on.

Wonder stared. He said, “Excuse me a minute.”

Sonic speed into woods, general screaming, then return.

“So you’re telling me that it’s similar to Crisis. They don’t have a master, KA-BOOM.”

Blood was a little frozen and looked at Crisis. Crisis shrugged. He said, “It’s the way of my world, sadly.”

Blood typed: I don’t think there’s a literal Ka-boom, but you get the idea.

“Sir?”

Wonder nearly jumped towards the sky. He looked to see who was standing there. Guy was tall, definitely skinny, but held himself with all the grace of a high-end butler. The only thing not nick-and-span about this guy was his out-of-control white hair. But he even made the rags he wore almost noble.

Wonder forced himself to breathe. “Dude, I already have a ninja. Please don’t scare me like that.”

“My apologies, sir.”

Wonder said, “And drop the sir. Even if Blood’s about to say what I think he’s gonna say, I’m not gonna tolerate that sir or master crap really well.”

Blood raised an eyelid and chuckled. Wonder growled, “Your father’s dead for enforcing this shit, you know that right?”

Blood raised his hands, but was now full-on laughter. He slipped back into the woods.

Sakura said, “I’m having a dummy moment.”

Rose said, “Pretty much, for families that do direct ownership and Deathcollars, anyone who kills the Master now owns any and all slaves they had. There’s probably even a very confused paperwork regiment in Fasis right now.”

Sakura said, “What the shiiiiiiit?”

“Exactly what I’m thinking, baby girl. Please wait to use cuss around Daddy until you’re 18.”

Wonder got himself to breathe again. He looked at Butler(?). “What’s your name?”

Butler said, “I am Acryoa.”

“Acryoa… OK. You like the head honcho of the slaves of Asshole?”

“Yes sir.”

Wonder blinked. Guy was actually keeping up. Huh… wonder how he’d deal with a whole Ranch.

Or what was coming up.

“OK, Acryoa. We got a lot of work, and I’m hoping you’re pretty good with paper… you already have everything summoned.”

“Yes sir.”

“What did I say a few minutes ago? Oh, you don’t have my name, dummy head of mine. I’m Wonder, and that’s what you can call me.”

“Yes, Sir Wonder.”

Wonder gave a sideline glare. Acryoa held a perfect poker face, but Wonder just knew he was inwardly laughing.

Wonder looked at Blood. “Also, Mister Hide-From-This-Conversation, you own any land I can actually set up a Ranch on?!?”
