1-22

Moonshadow rattled as we landed behind the manor. As informative as the small adventure had been, the price for the information was beyond extravagant as he could have hired a team of scouts for less than one percent of the repair costs I would be paying. The only real gain from this trip was Hextias bloodline, though that could've happened at home, and her clone being an extension of who she was and not a separate being.

There was another benefit of the cloned core as it had increased the strength of her mind by two-fold and allowed her to control more splinters. There was now a full contingent of splinters onboard the ship, her range of control would be amplified by the clone cores in proximity so she could now move around within several miles of the ship.

I had thought at first that she could make several clones to make an army rather quickly but it turned out that the cloning process put a lot of strain on her mind and she would be in a hibernation like state for a few days and even then it would take months before she could make another clone.

So no army for me, for now.

After we reached the manor Sett and Rin went to freshen up while I called for Owen and the clan leaders for a meeting in an hour. I checked on the weapons operator who had hit his head, he was still unconscious but he would make a full recovery with proper rest.

I made my way to my office and looked over reports from the guards, a few goblin sightings, and a small raid of kobolds and a few requests of new clans to bend the knee but nothing out of the ordinary.

I put the reports away and entered the lab I was now using to store data and samples of bloodlines since I had moved most of my equipment to the ship. I picked up a journal and wrote my findings and discoveries about Hextias' bloodline enhancement and a few theories and possible experiments for the future, as I was finishing up I heard the door open and shut behind me.

Turning around I saw Rin dressed only in a white towel, the towel fell to the ground and my eyes met hers, I walked over and kissed her. Her hands tugged at my belt, I ripped my shirt away as my pants fell to the floor.

I lifted the petite girl and she wrapped her legs around my waist, we kissed and our passions rose. I could feel my cock pressing against her soft lips, she began rocking back and forth soaking my cock in her juices.

I pushed her up against the door and pressed against the tight barrier keeping us apart, she moaned as I entered her. She arched her back leaving just the tip in before pushing back down and swallowing my member to the base, I grabbed her by her waist and began my assault into her depths.

Outside the door a maid stood and waited as she heard pounding on the door, the sounds of broken glass and cries of pleasure came next. The sounds of pleasure intensified twenty minutes later along with a panting voice, "Fuck me harder master! Faster, I'm almost there ah! I'm cumming!" the maid silently waited a few minutes before knocking on the door.

I pulled out of Rins' tight hole with a squealing sound and she moaned at the sudden removal of her newfound toy. I noticed a great amount of golden fluid spilling out of her, I cast lifehack on a whim and analyzed the substance I had ejaculated into her womb.

The substance carried my bloodline but it wasn't a biological substance as the majority of it was made of mana, I had literally become a fountain of mana. I wasn't sure of the implications of this new development but at the very least meant another point to research.

I held the panting Rin from behind as she was pressed up against the window, she leaned back against me and nuzzled into my neck. I raised her chin and kissed her tenderly before picking her up and moved from the lab to the bedroom, as I tucked her into bed and was enjoying her playful tongue a knock came from my door.

I ignored the knock wanting to spend the rest of the evening with her, but Rin pushed me away and grinned up at me, "Get back to work master, I'll be here when you are done." She kissed me on the lips and sent me away. When I opened the door I was greeted by the maid who liked to be there for all of my conquests.

"Young master, lord Owen and the head of the clans await you in the conference room. Also, Miss Baines said she left a present in your ship," she reported in her cold voice. She left as soon as she had completed her task.

I put on some clothes and made my way to the conference room when I entered I glanced at the faces around the room. Some I could recognize and others were new to me, 'must be the new clan heads', Sett had a file and a few holograms open showing what we had found at the guild. She looked over at me and I gave her the nod to proceed.

I walked around the table and sat beside her while she was presenting our discovery of the orc city. Many of the faces paled at first and discussions broke out over possible theories on the events and how to react to them.

While the clan head discussed defenses and budgeting to increase our forces I pulled Sett into my lap and gave her a kiss on the cheek. We waited a few minutes for everyone to settle down, Sett whispered to me how the engineers were not too happy about the Moonshadow' condition, though they weren't too upset once they were paid for the necessary repairs.

I grimaced at the bill she showed me, it was an accurate assessment of the damage and even I could tell they weren't trying to shake me down. The replacement parts were readily available, luckily we had the steal from the flagship that could be used for the repairs otherwise I would've needed to spend 500,000 credits for the amount of steel necessary.

Over the course of the rest of the meeting, we made plans to increase the budget for arms and we discussed opening another business in the inner region of the city that would incorporate a luxury hotel and gambling den.

At the end of the meeting we had come to a decision to reach out to the other influential families and dispense the information about the orc city for future favors, Owen would be doing the information exchange personally as to not leak the information.

Sett and I retired to the room and found Rin curled up in a mass of blankets and pillows, Sett stripped and wiggled her way into the blanket nest and I was right behind her. I pulled Rin and set into my embrace and let sleep consume me, hopefully, I could get some rest.

"Young master!" I jolted awake to see Owen bursting into my room, his shout had awoken me and the girls.

"What is going on Owen?" I asked, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. My adrenaline sobering me up quickly.

"You have to run, young master, they are coming for you. Tonight," he said with fear in his eyes and his chest heaving in exasperation.
