A New Slave

 Similar to when he had bought both Era and Miriam, he was given a token to control the collar his new slave was wearing. The slave also wore cuffs on her arms and ankles, though it was more jewelry than regular cuffs.

 Still, Ryker could sense the formation engraved on it. It could easily cause the young woman some pain if he wished to, which he would not do. With everything already done, he leads the young woman back to his home, already dreading the conversation with his lovers.

 Behind him, the young woman remained silent as she followed her new master.

 Surprisingly, he was not killed by his lovers. However, they did ask him about the new slave, which he told without skipping a thing. When he finished his tale, his lovers let out a sigh.

 "I could see why you accepted her, the Baron didn't make things easy for you after all, but what about Shuri and Lisha, after all, they are both in love with you," Ina asked him. 

 He wishes he could answer it as while he does find them both attractive, they have their commitment to the city, Shuri is an important member of the Hal Family while Lisha works as a receptionist at the Adventure Guild of Mariz City.

 Those are the main reasons why he didn't try to ask them if they wished to join his harem, not that he would ask them even if they didn't have such a commitment, as he didn't think he could keep all of his lovers happy if he took too many of them.

 However, he knew someone in his harem (cough Ina cough) wished to add more members to it. As for the reason, he didn't know about it but he did hope she won't try anything. He would prefer to keep his group of lovers small.

 "I will ask them later, maybe even going on a 'date'," Date was a new concept to him, something he only learned from the books he has bought. While most of them have sexual content, others are smut, and the R18 books, there are some that have more romantic flair. That's where he learned about the activity couples could do.

 He would have to look for more such books, maybe even asking for Lisha, he had asked them where they knew where to buy the toys they used in their night session, and where to buy more toys.

 As for now, he would take some time with his family and hope there would be nothing wrong that would happen.

 In the middle of the night, Ryker woke up as he felt something threatening his family. He quickly went to check his siblings, only to see the new slave have a dagger near Fenrir's neck.

 He quickly subdued the slave, pushing her to the ground with ease. He checks on his sibling, searching for any sign of injuries. Only when the search came clean did he let out a sigh of relief.

 He then heard a groan, the slave slightly recovered but would not be able to do anything. However, it didn't erase the fact that the slave could end one of his siblings if he was too late.

 His eyes become murderous as he lifts the slave, she struggles to breathe as Ryker holds her by the throat. He then brought her to the basement, ready to impart some punishment onto her.

 He threw the slave onto the floor, the young woman letting out a pained grunt. However, he couldn't care less about how he treated the woman. After all, she was so close to killing his sibling.

 He used the token, choking the slave as she raised her hand, seemingly grasping for air. When she was about to lose consciousness, the collar stopped choking her, allowing her to breathe once more.

 He then used the token to make the cuffs on her hands and ankles tighten, making her feel like both her hands and legs were about to break from the tightening. Similar to the first one, the tightening soon comes to an end, giving her a slight reprieve.

 He then kicked the slave on her stomach, making her let out a grunt as she was sent flying to a wall. She fell on the ground like a sack of potatoes, unable to get up due to the pain. 

 Despite all of that, Ryker didn't intend to let her off so easily, after all, he had a lot of ways to torture people. It is just the first victim would be a slave of his.

 He gripped her hair before lifting it up. Despite that, the slave could barely let out a groan. After all, she had received a serious beating from the vengeful big brother.

 The beatdown had lasted for an hour, and he took the liberty to do everything in his power to make her suffer. He punched, kicked, and even stepped on her. She put some token of resistance, which he easily stopped, as he was someone at the Genesis Core, with power equal to a Genesis Osurce expert, while she was only at the Genesis Condensing.

Not a single part of her body was not marred with bruises. Her entire body was laid bare, and her clothes were ripped apart during the beating he gave her. Even though he mercilessly beat her up, he refrained from hitting her on the face or her private part. After all, he would prefer her awake for their session.

 He then let go of her hair, making her head hit the ground, the woman barely maintained her consciousness. He then proceeded to grab his sword. He no longer felt any satisfaction of beating her so it stood for reason he would end her after he was done with his revenge.

 He grabbed her hair once again, pulling it and making her head rise above the ground, to reach the similar level as to his knee. He then crouched, the sword closing in on her throat, similar to what she was about to do with his siblings.

 He looked at her in the eyes, hoping to see her despair, maybe even defiance. However, to his surprise, she gave him a look of acceptance. The look puzzled him before he thought of a possibility.

 While he was not as smart as Esran, no one was, he was still good at reading others, a skill his parent had helped him nurture. It didn't take him long to realize what all of this was about.

 "You want to die,"

 The slave merely looked at him, trying to move closer to the blade, further proving his thought. He removed the sword, before using the pommel to knock her out. When she fell to the ground, he didn't feel bad, in fact, he felt angry with the young woman.

 "You want to kill my siblings so I will kill you. Haha, I won't let you die, I will make you suffer for a looooong time,"
