Bright sunlight poured into the bedroom through window, casting a bright glow over crimson curtains and ruby colored sheets. A crisp, gentle morning breeze blew in from the spacious balcony, stirring the aromatic presence of roses and lavender, and bringing with it the fresh smell of oak and pine but along with the vigorous scent of nature there was also the arousing stench of pleasure, sex, and wanton bacchanalia. Slowly life stirred within the comfortable, fragrant sanctuary, as the firm and nubile bodies of several healthy young women roused from sleep, all of them either naked or clad in the skimpiest of lingerie. Their fur still coated in sweat and sex juices, and the flawlessness of their bodies was marked only by the aftermath of lust, their smooth breasts and long legs still sticky.

Callie existed the bathroom and look over herself in the full length mirror in the room. Six foot even, shoulder length golden–blond hair, large green eyes, shapely wide hips in her tailored (and expensive) business skirt. Her face, graced with sensuous lips, was oval and friendly. Her mammoth mammaries that strained the suspension bridge of a bra she wore.  Uneasily cloaking a F cup bra, the blouse, plain white under a pink jacket that matched her skirt, was stretched to near rending by those massive jugs. Giving her an hourglass figure that few outside of her pride could match. 

Like everyone else in the pride, Sunset has improved their bodies with magic to make them more shapely and buxom. Callie looks over the others, the smallest bust size belongs to Wilykit and Catra who like their small and slender bodies both having C cups. Allowing them to squeeze themselves in tight spaces that she and the others would just end up stuck if they tried. 

Both Leone and Aisha have the largest bust sizes, at J cups even bigger their Sunset's own H cups. But then again they both stand over 7 feet and both built like brick houses. Their magic enchantments gave them large and powerful bodies, like Tigress, Blackfire, and Starfire but with more bulk and size.

"So what's on today's agenda?" Sunset asked walking out of the bathroom that she shared with Callie, also dressed. 

"Go to city hall and sign the papers to finalize ownership of the new businesses that you brought," Callie said.

"Got a good deal for them?" Sunset ask.

"With this, I did," Callie said showing off the ring that allows her to mentally manipulate the thoughts and actions of others who have weak minds. (1)

"Plus with your body, causes most people to lower their guard and are very distracted," Sunset said.

"You are the one who shaped our bodies," Callie said. 

"As if none of you minded," Sunset said, looking at the still sleeping forms of the rest of the pride. Most having very curvaceous, very buxom, and very aware of it bodies. Which she has personal gotten to know every inch of their bodies. 

"We could use a king for this pride," Callie said. 

"As if you know any king who could handle all of us, I can handle all of you at once. Any would be king who thinks he can handle this pride, will be eaten alive," Sunset said as she and Callie left the others to sleep. 

Both of them walk down to the basement garage, and got into the Coupe. Using her telekinesis Sunset made the large thick wooden doors open after lifting the heavy metal bar that held the doors closed. Once the car drove out of the garage and made it's way up the ramp, the doors closed behind them and the metal bar slide into place securing the doors. With Callie driving, Sunset sat in the back of the car reading off over the list of new properties she now owns in the city and what they're being used for that Callie had written down on the ledger that Sunset is reading. 

Struggling businesses that the owners suddenly had been brought out by the offer Callie gave them. In exchange to supply the manor with what they need. Both for the everyday needs, food, drinks, clothes, and other supplies, and to bring in the exotic shipments from the smugglers and exporters. 

Arezz's Jewelries, good place to sell off the jewels and gems. 

Donny's pharmacy, where they be able to get supplies for potions. 

Charlie's Pizzeria, a legitimate business. 

Ross Accountant Firm, where they can covertly launder dirty money into clean money. 

Boolie's Bakery, a legitimate business.

Bella Siciliana, a restaurant a legitimate business. Good place to collect ingredients. 

Max Butcher, a legitimate business. Good place to collect bones. 

Goble's Imports and Exports, a warehouse on the riverfront. The merchandise that aren't as exotic can come from here.

Vick's Gas Stop, a gas station where we be getting fuel and repairs for the cars. 

Xander Smelter, good place to get custom metal parts. 

Coin Wash, a laundromat a legitimate business. 

"A laundromat?" Sunset ask. 

"Yes like the one we saw in Texas. And it's already a big hit, good source of income. I ran the numbers and while our world tour did get us lots of dirty money, we still need to laundry it and so it has a legitimate paper trail and the feds won't be looking too closely at where all the money came from," Callie said. (2)

"Being taken care of by the girls still in Europe, they're using the confusion and the cash starved nations to laundry the treasures we gathered. A few well place bribes, some blackmail pictures and some magic is handling the wealth we have gathered. Which will be transferring to the Swiss Confederation banks as well as the Bank of England that can be transferred to any bank here," Sunset explains.

"You really know how to laundry your money," Callie said. 

"I grew up attending fancy parties and overhearing how the nobles and the rich, hide their wealth from the tax collectors," Sunset states. 

"And your mother?" Callie asked. 

"She's too busy standing in front of the entrance greeting the guest, by the time she's done the party is mostly over," Sunset said. "Which reminds me how are the weapon shipments?" 

"They're on their way," Callie said. "Thanks to prohibition there are plenty of smugglers to pick from. And they know better than to ask questions, but I am using messages to relay the orders." (3)

Sunset looks down at the weapon shipment page of the ledger.

Unsold inventory of Webley-Fosbery automatic revolvers. (4)

Unsold inventory of Pieper Revolving Carbine. (5)

Shipments of leftover Maxim MG08 Machine Guns, and several Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr from the Great War. (6)

Shipments of the Browning 1917 .30 caliber machine gun. (7)

Surplus M1916 from the Prussian army. (8)

"Lots of unsold and surplus guns here," Sunset said. 

"I know but they're cheap and already have a local gunsmith to change the Pieper Revolving Carbine to handle .50 rounds," Callie said. 

"And the armor?" Sunset ask.

"Much better than what the outlaw Ned Kelly and his gang of Australia made, the armor will be covering the arms and legs. Still heavy but we can handle it. Of course they do have to be fitted for us to wear," Callie said. 

"That just leaves the troops," Sunset said. 

"The ceramic factory is already up and running. The statues of young women are attracting lots of attention," Callie said. 

"As long as they're ready," Sunset said. 

"What are we going to be doing in the meantime?" Callie asked. 

"Keep low, rest up, get everything ready for the big event," Sunset said. 

"And the speakeasy?" Callie ask.

"Use them as the middle men for the illegal shipments and keep them supply with liquor," Sunset said.

Author's Notes -

1 - The mind ring is like the Jedi mind trick where it allows the user to control the weak minded, but strong minds or too dumb can't be effected.

2 - The first real laundromat opened in Fort Worth, Texas and was called a "wash-a-teria" at the time. It was a novel idea that a lot of people were open to. Patrons enjoyed the self-service aspect as well as its affordability.

3 - Prohibition was made by people who thought that by getting rid of alcohol, that people will stop wanting to drink it. All that did was allow the underworld to become more powerful, more people got drunk because of the forbidden fruit that alcohol became making people want it more.

4 - The Webley–Fosbery Self-Cocking Automatic Revolver is a recoil-operated automatic revolver designed by Lieutenant Colonel George Vincent Fosbery VC and produced by the Webley & Scott company from 1901 to 1924. The revolver is easily recognizable by the zig-zag grooves on the cylinder.

5 - The Pieper Revolving Carbine is a revolver rifle developed around 1890 in Belgium by the Bayard company, also known by the name Anciens Etablissesments Pieper. It has a 9-round cylinder chambering the 8x50mmR Pieper cartridge. It also used the same gas seal system as the Nagant M1895, where the cylinder would move forward while firing, forming a gas-tight seal. This allows the rifle to be suppressed, like the Nagant M1895, however, no evidence of a suppressed Pieper exists; it was most likely done so that gas from the front of the cylinder wouldn't damage the shooter's arm. It was only purchased in significant numbers by the Mexican Rurales law enforcement group, who preferred the revolving rifle compared to lever-action designs because it was easier to use on horseback. Due to its proprietary ammunition, the 8x50mmR Pieper (essentially a longer 7.62x38mmR), the weapon was swapped out fairly quickly for a weapon that used something more common. The Pieper carbine is now very rare due to its proprietary ammunition limiting sales figures, along with its low production numbers of under 5,000.

6 - The Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr, was the world's first anti-tank rifle (developed so soon that the German language did not even have its own word for tanks yet, hence the gun's name being Tankgewehr and the TuF round's name meaning "Tank und Flieger", or "Tank and Aircraft"), it was used at the end of World War 1 in February of 1918, and is very rare to find today. The .525 round was originally developed to be used in a new version of the Maxim machine gun known as the MG18. The .525 round was influential in the development of the .50 BMG round for the Browning M2.

7 - The Browning 1917 .30 caliber machine gun is the immediate predecessor of the Browning M1919. This weapon saw use from the final days of World War I, throughout the duration of World War II as well as both the Korean and Vietnam wars due in large part to its reliability and usefulness in the sustained fire role (made possible by the water cooling jacket surrounding the barrel).

In 1901, John Moses Browning filed US Patent 678937 for an automatic recoil loader. The construction found little favor with the US Army Ordnance Department. The M1917 was basically an evolution of this patent. The Browning M1917 is a water-cooled machine gun. Air-cooled experimental weapons led after the First World War to the lighter M1919, which was built mechanically the same. The Browning MG externally resembles the Maxim machine gun and has a similar belt feeder. Both have short-recoil operation of the barrel and bolt locking system in the housing. Nevertheless, they are greatly different mechanically. The Maxim has a toggle-lock action lock similar to that of the Luger P08, while the Browning MG bolt and barrel are locked by a steel block. The Browning M1917 is slightly lighter than the Maxim and just as reliable. The Browning M1918 is a further development for aircraft service.

8 - The M1916 "Red 9" was a 9x19mm model produced to fill a contract for the Prussian army during the First World War. As it was externally identical to the concurrently produced 7.63mm version, its caliber was burned on each side of the grip and prominently marked in red or black paint. Some collectors refer to the 'Red 9' version as the 1916 Prussian Contract.
