I left the room and saw the carpenters working on the door. I noticed I had blood and was naked as I stepped out. My cute little tigers were staring at the workers while they had not noticed them. Ignoring them I moved to the bathroom and started to clean myself up. This did not take long and I dressed. I got myself ready and went back to watching the workers. I was lost in thought as my toys ca back. The room beca full and I was lost in thought of the next steps that needed to be done.
The Door was done and food was on the table. I ate while thinking as the workers left. Carl joined us and the whip marks were healing up. I took a bowl of food to my kitty when dinner was done I helped her out cleaning her. I helped with biology and cleaning before resting in bed. My mind was wandering and I finally ca to a conclusion. I fell asleep with a conclusion reached and a smile on my face.
The next morning I woke everyone up. Through grumbling, everyone was up. The Stern look on my face as I asked for reports on activities yesterday. Stacy ca back that the workmanship of the previous tailors dropped after their main tailors got poached. Nobles stopped coming to their shops and the business dried up. This was both good and bad news in my opinion. I would need a strict contract clauses for the first few years to do business here. The money though would dry up very soon if I didn't do sothing.
Freya told so more places and the only matter of the gangs in the city was too ssy to pull useful information quickly. Cassandra smirked as she reported and I rolled my eyes. Freya was a musician or bard first not an informant. Cassandra feeling superior over her intelligence gathering was stupid, to say the least.
Cassandra ca next and let out much more information on the underground situation in the city. She talked to so of her old contacts increasing the amount of information we had. I decided that this city would not be a bad stop while I start to put plans into place. I tapped the table and told Stacy to make so clothes for Carl. He looked at a lot differently now which made happy. Kitty was in her cage all safe and comfy and I went over and pampered her with so attention.
I left two of my tigers in the room and gave orders. Cassandra was going to start to take over a small gang in the slums with a very small territory. Carl would be her escort and muscle. I went with Stacy to purchase the store with the coin. Everything moved quickly as I found the store had a place to sleep on the floor above that could accommodate all of us. This was a place to sleep as well, perfect. A small backyard and privacy walls were making sure no one could see from the other houses. This made frown.
This place was sothing no one could see inside this backyard from outside. There were multi-story houses or businesses on all sides but this backyard had perfect privacy through clever tricks in the wall and placent of lines and various other things decorating the back. I purchased the place with no regrets as I loved it for many reasons. The gold was less than I would think. Leaving with just a couple more thousand gold. I needed more gold but I had more than enough to survive if that was all I was after.
We started to handle all the bullshit and Stacy started to put up help wanted signs. The business was taking longer than I thought and the night was slowly coming in as we finished the paperwork of the Empire. We got handed the keys to the empty shop and apartnt. WE made our way back to the Inn. This ti nothing happened and we cleaned and ate while I asked for a report from Cassandra. Carl had so minor wounds on him looking like he got in a scrap. I was disappointed that he was even injured to such weak things as people in the slums. I think he noticed my gaze and refrained from looking at . I needed to fix this honest shortcoming in his fighting.
The Gang though acknowledged our dominance. The Gang was called 'Bloody Candies' It ran two businesses. One was a Brothel with cheap prostitutes. The other was enforcent shaking down businesses and protecting property. They owned maybe a poor block in the slums. They were very low profile. We picked this gang since their location was better than they thought. It was near the docks but not so close to getting involved with those gangs. The docks were to a small river that ran throughout the Empire helping their trade.
It was also off to the side of the main gangs in the hotly contested territory of the east side of the city. Each gang wanted to rise. The last part was it was near the Necromancer's hidden guild. This created a business that was already near that we had a line of alliance on. When Cassandra showed up at their door saying she was owned by a person who wanted to have an alliance and they were interested.
I cared little and heard the reports with a smile on my face. Things at this point were smoother than I thought. I started up so energy exercises in the room before heading to bed with that smile on my face.
Things for the next couple of days as things were being prepared moved quickly. The only thing souring my mood is that I couldn't train my little Kitty properly lately as I furnished our little three bedrooms with a kitchen apartnt above the tailors. I was going to start to modify the backyard in fun ways since there was privacy. I was still getting a weird feeling from the place like I am missing sothing. We purchased things for the house while Cassandra started to gain more control of the now twenty-person gang. The manpower was pitiful for a gang with no talent insight.
The Whores were shit at pleasing n and looked just as good as they were in the sack. This ant I needed to buff the numbers with so sex slaves that I needed to train. This was more work taking from what I really wanted to do.
The Enforcent group was even worse than the whores being mostly fourteen to sixteen years old. This was pathetic and most of their knowledge of fighting ca from wrestling over food. This gang needed serious training. Carl was to be training the loser rat kids how as best as he could. His fighting style was incredibly honest and I hoped it would be combined with the kid's dirty tricks.
Days went on like this and I knew I needed to let my primal urges out soon or I would get too frustrated. The work in the Empire was moving forward even though I wanted out of this city. Recruits were coming in. Orders for training equipnt coming in decorating our apartnt. The day moved quickly and I installed a nice tub into the apartnt as well with enchantnts.
A week had gone by and I had not had a toy to torture since our days went to long. That was until midday and I ca out to see my Kitty muttering.
"Kitty this Kitty that. I am a Cat-kin not so fucking Kitty. What a fucking Crazy Bitc-" Her words and muttering stopped as she spotted with a frown on my face looking very disapproving.
