Chapter 284: Meet The Master 2
The man gritted his teeth but accepted Quinlan's words without making an even bigger scene. "Yes, Master! I will work myself to the bone for the chance of enjoying a woman's company!"
"Okay… moving on, we were in the midst of questions. Anyone got a relevant one?"
"What are your long-term plans, Master Quinlan?" The old man asked.
"I imagine you're curious what your future looks like, right? You will build my home here, and once it's done you will form a construction company and will work on others' homes."
A very standard answer.
"Could you elaborate on the rewards you mentioned, Master?" David decided to speak up after gathering his courage. "I'm honestly not interested in brothels."
Multiple slaves glanced at him like he was a fool who didn't know what's good in life but he didn't care for their opinion much.
"Naturally. We will create a better system for performance evaluations, but for now, Ronan and iselda will let me know which one of you deserves rewards. As for the rewards themselves, they will range from high-quality food, drinks, time off, and women, but I'm also open to requests. I can let you visit your families once in a while for example, should you want that."
"What?!" Multiple men shouted excitedly. The first four were already strange for general labor slaves to receive, but family visit…? Completely unheard of.
"I can see my daughter?"
"My parents…!"
Quinlan let them speak amongst themselves for a bit before continuing, "As for work hours, You will work a 6-hour shift in the morning, have lunch, and then get 2 hours to rejuvenate. After that another 6 hours of work awaits. However, each of you will have 3 shifts per week which you will be exempt from, letting your body get proper rest and your mind enjoy free time.
For now, it will be Ronan and Iselda who allocate shifts, but in the future, you might be able to ask for specific shifts yourselves. I know the amount of work hours might sound harsh, and it is, but right now I need you to be efficient and finish my home as soon as possible. Once this task is done, we will reevaluate your work hours."
David couldn't help but notice that he would have to work about 20-30 hours less weekly under the new Master's schedule, and he would even get rewarded if he did well. He glanced around and he could see many previously dejected faces start changing for the better. Some were even outright shining. Discover tales on m-vl-em,pyr
One thing was for certain in his mind; their new owner knew how to manipulate a human's emotions brilliantly. Even he himself forgot about his worries for a moment and imagined working hard on Quinlan's home.
"Since I sense no more questions coming my way, let me continue. There shall be two more benefits in the near future; one, a Healer will soon visit you, so if you suffer from something, or were to be injured during work we will heal you. Second, although you're not forbidden from relationships, I'm sure you've noticed that there's a severe lack of the fairer gender in my employ.
In the future, I will be expanding my industries, where you will be allowed to woo the ladies and make your own families. Of course, it is a big reward allocated only to those who work hard and give me and their direct bosses no trouble. With that out of the way, I said all these things that you evidently seem to favor, but we all know that actions speak louder than words.
Let it be known that your new master is no liar! [Warp Gate]!"
The same otherworldly spell that brought them here manifested in front of their eyes and multiple absolute bombshells stepped through it. Many men started salivating. "Reign in your desires or you will all regret it." Quinlan's simple, cold promise was enough to make them wake up from their lusty dreams.
"These two are my loyal servants." He introduced two brown-haired girls who seemed to be identical. "My name is Anna." "My name is Beatrice." They stated one after the other while glancing at the slaves. Each of them carried soft, large blankets which they laid down on the solid ground.
"She is my second woman, Aurora." Quinlan gestured towards a plump, platinum-haired girl who looked absolutely stunning with her amber eyes. She had a ring on her finger, out of which she soon began summoning multiple items and laid them down on top of the blankets.
*Sniff Sniff* some of the slaves couldn't help but do their best to smell the new aroma that enveloped their surroundings. The curvaceous beauty was laying down fresh, warm food! Although none of them knew how she was summoning the meals one after the other, it wasn't as strange as their master's swirling portal so they could get over it rather easily.
"This is Ayame, my second-in-command and third lover. You've already seen her before." Quinlan continued and gestured towards the petite oriental beauty who carried strange multiple sacks of something with her. She opened them, and David could see a sea of fine powder inside inside. 'Flour' He recognized instantly, 'but how could we bake bread here?
There's no oven or anything like that.' He mused inwardly.
"This old lady is my fourth lover." Quinlan's announcement was met with a disgruntled "Hey! I'm adding this to my list of 'things I will need to take revenge for once I'm strong enough'! You better watch out, young man!" promise from the woman in question. David couldn't help but be a bit jealous. So many women and they all truly adored Quinlan. He could tell from a single glance at their eyes.
It resembled how Dorothy used to look at him before Tristan ruined everything.
This woman was carrying multiple baking stones, upon which dough- made from flour and water- could be baked into tasty, fresh bread.
"… Where's the first, though?" A man questioned, more so out of curiosity than anything. David realized that they'd not yet been introduced to the master's first woman.
"Master. Blossom only managed to catch four." A sudden voice sounded from behind them, making all 25 men spin around their heels. A gorgeous blonde dog-kin walked towards their group. She was dragging two boars and two deer behind her on the ground, all four dead. 'A hunter?' They thought inwardly.
She walked past them, not even giving them a glance and once she reached Quinlan she dropped her game and jumped right up into his embrace, then began kissing him lovingly.
"Four is already amazing in the few minutes of time I gave you. Good job!" He praised once their lips parted, which elicited the girl's tail to begin cutting through the air at breakneck speed.
"I bet that she is the first." A man commented wryly, biting at the edge of his lips out of sheer jealousy. Why couldn't their master have at least one slightly average woman in his harem? Having a harem was already outrageous but why were they all so peerless to boot?! Life was truly unfair!
"Although we have no tables yet, please do enjoy the small feast we've prepared for you. You might've been dealt a bad hand in life, but what truly matters is that you're still alive. As long as you do your best, who knows what the future has in store for you?
For now, let's celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in your lives." Quinlan spoke up, and the slaves couldn't help but feel a bit better about themselves. They greedily sat down on the blankets and began digging in
