Linda walked inside a restaurant after ordering so dishes for herself and her maid. "What do we do now, Mrs. Linda? We have tried everything from coercion to bribes to threats. But how co none of them have any intel on this masked killer?"
Linda picked up the jug of alcohol and poured it down her throat. "Fuck..!!" She wiped the excess liquid off her lips, cursing out loud without any restraint. "The guy had been thorough. It's clear that he was using so kind of enchanted treasure that didn't let anyone gain any permanent mories of him."
"You think so? Isn't such a treasure too out of this world?" Yalda exclaid. Her mistress's words made sense, otherwise, how can there be so many witnesses and no face of the killer? "That's what puzzles . It might take a grand mage to co up with such a treasure."
Yalda mulled over the matter for a while as a young girl brought them their als. "Isn't it possible that the killer obtained such a treasure from a grand mage? Because I don't see any reason why a grand mage does sothing like that."
"That's what I am assuming right now. It's against the pride of a mage of such stature. He must have obtained it from so expert and then used it to plan this murder." Yalda nodded, focussing on her al.
"Still, there is one thing that doesn't make sense." Swallowing the bite, she let her face rest in her palms. "Why would soone go after master? I don't rember any feuds that would warrant such heavy-handed revenge."
"I know. That's what troubles the most. I have a hunch that their murder is related to the task assigned by the royal court...??" Yalda saw her lady frown mid-way through her sentence. "Did you conclude, madam?"
Linda ignored her words for a while before she ca up with her answer. "Didn't the royal court assign them to investigate the demonic activity near a border town?" "Yes. It's nad Korua, very close to the borders."
"So, what if soone is trying to hide their findings?" "Hmm.. but why so? Didn't they already send preliminary findings to the court? As far as I know, they found no evidence of any such activity." Linda nodded her head before chugging down another mug of alcohol.
"But that doesn't change the fact that it was a 'preliminary' report. What if they truly found sothing about the matter and the killer ca to know about it? That should give them enough reason to silence not only Jacob but Samuel as well."
Yalda's eyes were wide open as her mind ran through the simulations again and again. Finally, Linda saw her stare back at her. "And if he knew the results of the investigations.." "That ans it was soone who had been close to them or at least close to the investigations, all along." Linda completed her sentence.
A vicious smile was appeared on her face, revealing her long canines. "Tomorrow morning... we are leaving for that bloody town." She chugged the leftover wine from her mug and devoured her food like a wild cat.

Two more days had passed Ryu was training with Emma, in one of the training grounds that belonged to the Dark Wings. It was a good 20 by 20 ters room with walls that can take a heavy beating. "Burn!!" The woman in front of him filled her lungs with air and the next mont, a massive tongue of fla was blasted towards the boy.
"Haha.. too weak!!" The vines around him coalesced ahead of him at an angle, directing the flas and heat away from him. With his left hand, the Ryu sent a sturdy branch towards the woman but her swift punch burnt it to cinders before it can reach her.
Both of them didn't let go, stepping closer to each other with every attack and parry. "You want to fight just like that with him?" Talia saw the mature woman sitting beside her with her eyes fully trained on the clashing couple.
"Yes, I do. I can see how much he enjoys these training sessions. Also, I want to improve so that I am not a dead weight in a precarious situation." "Haha... You have been working hard as well sis. Do you think it's so easy to step into the junior realm within two weeks? You swept through the entire mortal realm like it was nothing."
Dorothea laughed in derision. "We all know that's because of the limiter that had been placed on us cultivation maids. Although it represses our level to never surpass Ryu's, our progress to that level is enormously accelerated."
Talia shook her head. "You underestimate yourself too much, sis. Just to ntion it to you, Ryu is only one more small step away from the Earth realm. Hence, you need to keep up with your training."
Dorothea nodded and fell on her back to relax for a while. Talia too snuggled close to her, staring at the high ceiling. "Haha... Earth realm... it's like growing up once again hehe..!! Though we are weak like bugs, it truly feels exciting this way. Like we have returned to being kids."
Opposite to them, Ryu had been excitedly on an offensive against Emma, trying to overwhelm her defenses. In only the last two days he had broken through twice, taking him to the 4th level of the Junior mage realm. As a result, his overall mana capacity had increased by a huge amount, allowing him to keep going at the redhead without any fatigue at all.
"Talia.. we need to switch!!" At last, Emma can't continue anymore. Her mana was eaten away by the continuous barrage of ceaseless attacks. With a last flaming lotus that burnt most of the vegetation the boy had summoned, the redhead fell back, forced to rest.
"You have grown too fast these days, master hehe.. want to go all out?" Ryu took a deep breath. He had fought against Talia once. This woman is too strong. "Yess.. let's go." Regardless, after the recent breakthrough, he was feeling more confident.
Alas.. he lasted for 5 minutes only before Talia's hands had gripped his neck tightly. "Fuckk.. okay... I give up." "Hehe.. you can't be too cocky about this asly cultivation level. At least you reach the senior mage realm, you will remain an insect in this world."
She pulled the boy closer to herself and kissed his lips passionately. Ryu used his hands to cup her tits, fondling them as their tongues entangled. Talia hurriedly pulled his pants down and began stroking his long cock.
"Hmm?" Talia was growing hot when Ryu got away from here, struggling out of his maid's embrace. "What happened?" "Haha.. a new maid has woken up. Let bring her out." All three ladies understood who he was referring to.
*Swish* An older woman appeared in front of Ryu, scanning him with sharp eyes. "How does it feel to be enslaved, granny?" Ruth sneered at the exposed cock before allowing the boy to hug her. "Not too bad... if you ask ." He caressed her face and kissed her lips while cupping her buttocks.
Ryu introduced Ruth to all three ladies before bringing up the topic of the milk ladies. "Huff... Little Ryu, you do know that they are like my children?" The boy embarrassedly scratched his head. He had no other choice, that dragon was not going to allow those human cows to exist.
Holding the woman close to his chest, he stroked her hair lovingly. "Please Ruth. I understand your love for them, but can you give three months? Just put them to sleep for these three months and I promise that I will grow powerful enough to keep all of them. Can you do that for ?"
It was a big decision for Ruth. Those girls were humans, not animals that can be put to sleep whenever Ryu required. They had their own lives. "I understand." She responded with a nod after a long struggle.
"Bring to them. I will talk to them and put them to sleep." Ryu can tell from the heavy expression on her face, that this decision had left her sad. Excusing the other ladies, he brought Ruth to Emily's house.
As soon as the won saw Ruth, they can't help themselves and cried out. Each one of them slamd into the old woman, hugging her with all their might. She inford them of Ryu's intentions after they enjoyed their ti together.
At first, all of them were left shocked but Rose took the initiative to support his decision. "It's okay, granny. Three months will pass like nothing. As long as we can be together with you, we don't mind it. What do you guys say?"
Mary was the next who responded positively. "Yes, granny. We are already too happy that you didn't abandon us." There were traces of tears in her eyes and Ruth hurriedly pulled her into a warm embrace. Being one of the younger ones among the milk ladies, thus even Ruth was unable to stop her tears.
Once that happened almost all the ladies began crying their hearts out. Ryu can only wipe the tears forming in Kira's eyes as the girl beca emotional watching the tearful reunion. "Let's go out for a walk, Kira."
Desiring to give the ladies so private ti, Ryu brought the girl out. "Here." To shift her mind he handed her the body-transforming potion. Due to the accident, she was not able to complete her course earlier, this he got this new one from Talia.
Kira didn't say anything, just placing the vial in her pocket. "Work hard little girl. You have a master to look up to from now on." As expected, these words finally evoked a reaction out of the shocked girl. "Master?"
"Yeah, she had so work in that capital. That's why she was not able to have a proper talk with you, but don't worry. She will be back before long." Kira was bit able to make any sense. As far as she can rember, she had no master at all.
"Who is my master, brother Ryu? Please forgive .. but I am unable to recall anyone like that." Ryu stroked her head and kissed her lightly on her cheeks. "Her na is Emily, my grandmother." Kira felt her knees go weak as she stopped in place, quietly staring at his face to find out of he was ssing with her.
"Haha.. why are you glaring at like that, little girl. It's true. Grandma visited before she left the town. She wanted to inform you about all this." Ryu saw the girl's eyes go white as she slumped into his arms. "Damn.. she truly passed out."
Caring for Kira for a while, he brought her back to consciousness. He explained the scenario slowly, for her brain to be able to digest it. It took him great efforts just to make her believe that he was not lying to her. Finally, the girl accepted the truth with a gleeful expression.
"Let's return ho. I think Ruth would have been done till now." He had assud that the woman would have put the ladies to sleep already, but instead found each of them still awake. "Is there an issue?" "Huh.. ask them."
Before Ryu can turn to the milch matrons, Rose ca forward to take him into her arms and pressed her lips against his with all her might. "You will have to kiss each of them goodbye. That's their condition before going to sleep."
Ryu pretended to be annoyed, but in his heart, he can certainly feel a new warmth develop for these ladies. One by one each one of them kissed him on his lips. Even Hannah didn't miss the opportunity. Rather her kiss sustained longer than usual.
Ruth got them to lay down on the floor as she began chanting her spell. Maybe because of the emotionally charged atmosphere, a drop of tear fell from Ryu's eyes which he swiftly wiped away. "It won't be long, my little maids." He saw the smiles on their faces freeze at once, along with their entire body.
