At her interrogative question, the six warriors straightened up like their boss arrived to inspect them. They imdiately removed themselves from the doorway as the leader replied. "Lady Tsugumi, we did not, we simply asked this kind sir if they ca at a Dominators recomndation."
Tsugumi then chucked as she answers. "Haha, Gentlen you could have a hundred of and you would still fail to bar my brother from this shop. Good thing I arrived, he does not spare punches like I do." The steel n noticeably gulped and the one with a red chevron on his shoulder declared in a small voice.
"Hehe, if they are with you Lady Tsugumi then they must be noble individuals, please forgive , my lord. My eyes need treatnt for not being able to see your eminence. Please enjoy shopping at the cutting edge."
Hiro ignored the man and spread out his arms. Tsugumi jumped into his embrace like a child and giggled as Hiro spun her around. When they both had their fill, Hiro placed his sister back on the ground as he ssed up her hair.
"We only separated for a little while and you act like you haven't seen in ages."
"Aren't you the sa Nii-sama?"
Tsugumi then jumped at her sisters-in-law in an equally affectionate manner. Hiro's wives embraced her and patted her. Ironically age wise Raylene, Jade, and Vanessa were around 16-17 while Tsugumi was already 19 years of age.
Yet, due to Hiro and her sister-in-laws having more mature ntalities their physics now looked at their early twenties. Making Tsugumi appear the youngest in terms of appearance. Wide-eyed, Tsugu then pulled her sister's hand and pulled them inside.
"Onee-samas they got a lot of good stuff, lets's get you geared up to the nines. Nii-sama could buy this whole store so money is no object. Let's go!"
Raylene looked back at her husband for confirmation. The man simply nodded while the girls all looked around in the weapons section. Lars ca down from another floor and saw Hiro.
"Master, there are a lot of high-end equipnt here. They cost a fortune though. I do not think we have enough money."
"Buy what you can, we will ask Alan to buy the ones we need."
"Eh? But won't we be going to the Apocalypse Zone? What about logistics."
"I will handle it. Lars, can you go and fetch Alan? I need to speak with him."
Before Lars could reply, a voice interrupted them. "Master, no need I am here." Alan and Mada Xing entered the store just as Hiro sought them. Mada Xing bowed in front of Hiro as she made a wide smile.
"Master, I am pleased, you seem to have enjoyed your stay at Arcus Kiss. I have sothing I wish to discuss may we please have a mont of your ti? Although I am unsure if there is a break room available."
The guards who saw the new arriving guests started to sweat bullets. Alan Srayver and Mada Xing were known businessn whom even counts could not order around due to their influence. Yet both gave their utmost respect to this man. Such an esteed person could turn their lives into hell with just one word.
A doorman the one with a chevron squeaked out in a raspy voice. "TTTHERE is Mada Xing. All the break rooms are available! Please let us get them ready!"
The six warriors then marched into an area of the store and started opening doors and forced the occupants outside.
"OY! Get out I am in a eting." "I don't give a shit get out! I need this room empty!"
"Huh? I have a reservation for this room." "No, you don't. It was just canceled get out."
"As you can see, this armor is… hey what are you doing." "The store is having an earthquake drill please leave."
Hiro and Mada Xing started laughing at the ludicrousness of the doorn. In an attempt to cater to their group, the others were being forced out. It felt good to be on the special end, rather than the one being sent away, status normally followed power.
Hiro couldn't help but comnt. "Mada Xing your reputation precedes you. I am starting to understand what kind of sway you hold in the upper nobility."
The woman laughed as she placed a fan to her mouth. "Master, surely you jest. They were terrified of you even before we arrived. I wonder how you showed them your majesty. Fufu."
"I actually didn't, Tsugumi must have done sothing to them."
At that mont the doorman with a chevron returned and saluted in front of Hiro. "My lords and lady, all the break rooms are now ready for use. Please choose one, we will ensure none will disturb you."
Hiro, Alan, and Xing entered one of the rooms and settled in. Naturally, Hiro sat at the main table while Alan and Xing sat to the side. Amused at the power plays the couple was already starting to follow, Hiro didn't comnt and spoke his mind.
"Alan, I have a task for you. Mada Xing, I know you are his woman but I do not trust you yet please leave."
The mada of Arcus kiss quickly stood up and sat in a dogeza and bowed to Hiro. "Master, that is what I ca to discuss. Please let follow you and serve you. Your kind words lted my heart and I wish to enter your service. I know you have no need for a paramour, but I can be useful as a spy or whatever you may require of ."
Hiro then unleashed his pressure which sent the woman to kiss the floor. The power threatened to break all her bones in excruciating agony. "If I told you to betray the prince, would you do it?"
Struggling Mada Xing couldn't even breathe properly and spoke in gasps. "I cannot my lord… The prince is my benefactor…and I am sure….you won't order such a command…"
Amuse Hiro asked in curiosity "Ho? Why do you think that woman?"
"The Master is a man of his word…that is how I feel…you will not betray… your word until you pay your debts.."
"Then what if I kill you right now for not following my wishes."
"Kill…… then, It ans I failed… to see your character… Such death is normal in intelligence…"
Alan grew frantic when he saw Xing's shoulders starting to turn violet from bruising. Again he marveled at the guts of this woman. His hands started to get clammy from stress.
Hiro then canceled his pressure and threw a bottle at Alan. "Get her to drink it." After a few monts, Xing could again breathe normally and sat in front of the Butcher. Alan held her hands and didn't leave even after she was fine.
The woman noticed the trembling and tension in her man's hands. She felt his fright at her ordeal. Her thoughts were interrupted when Hiro spoke.
"I admire your courage, Alan choose well. Even though my goal will not go against Dylan, it is not so clear and simple. Alan, I will use this ti to educate you as well."
Hiro then shared the high-level details of the Invasion of the [Forsaken], as well as the group bringing down the entire continent the Convent of Shadows. After he ended he asked the two in front of him.
"I created Redeed in order to find and destroy the convent. My first goal is to get as strong as possible while raising a powerful army. My second is to strengthen the empires as much as possible. I aim to find out what happened to the Saviors as well."
