Life Afterwards
When Sophia woke up the second time, she facing down, allowing her to look at Ryker's face.
She gently stroked his cheek.
"To think I would join the harem of someone weaker than me, yet, I did not regret it one bit,"
For some reason, she believed there is more to Ryker that meet the eye. Unfortunately, she could not confirm such though until he told her of his past and his background, as there is no way for him to be someone from the outskirts of the Kingdom.
As she continue to stroke his cheek, Ryker opened his eyes. Blue stare at silver before Ryker grinned.
He then lifted his head little, allowing their lips to connect.
When they finished kissing one another, Sophia decided she should get of him, letting him go and head back to his home.
Though, home.
"What are you thinking?" Ryker asked, still on the bed. She wondered why he did not get up before seeing the reason.
Namely, both Ilun and Sonet had used his arms as a pillow, preventing him from getting out without working them up.
Sophia shook her head before snapping her finger. At the small sound, the two women opened their eyes, before they laid their eyes on their employer slash master.
"You should get up and release Ryker, right now," despite asking nicely, the two women swore they could see a large demon behind her.

"Let's not take a shower together unless we want to spend longer than half an hour," Sophia suggested.
The other two women nodded fervently while Ryker have a smile on his face, despite being the reason for it.
He had suggested them to shower together. However, what they did inside is definitely not showering from the moaning and panting inside the washroom.
When he see their annoyed gaze, Ryker snorted, "All of you enjoy it," he countered.
Not wanting to admit he was right, they decided to keep their mouth shut.
"So, do you plan on staying in that mansion?" Sophia asked, starting the conversation, the first one after he ravaged all three women and took them as his lovers.
He might not said it, but they all know what they wished for and the relation they wanted between them.
"Yes, why?"
"Well, how about you stay at Elkom Auction House? That way you don't need to pay the rent," she pointed out the benefit of doing so.
"You want me to be close to you as well, correct?" Ryker sounded Sophia on her true reason for the suggestion.
The brunette blushed but nodded regardless.
She wanted to spend as long as she could with her lovers, alright!
-x-
Ryker took the suggestion in the end. There are literally no downside to accepting it, so, he agreed to it quickly.
He still need to discuss it with his other wives, but they agreed in the end, seeing no reason to reject the suggestion.
And so, his group began moving to Elkom Auction House. The problem would be that a group of people suddenly moving to the auction house would cause suspicion and with it, breed rumors.
To prevent such thing, the move was done as discretely and hidden as possible. Thankfully, anything large and not living can be easily stored inside storage rings. As for the people, especially the children, they were harder to hide, not help by how excited they could be. And using the Hidden Ancient Mansion is not something he should do, or should he?

"To think, you have such an impressive spatial Artifact in your possession," Sophia exclaimed with awe in her voice.
While she would not call herself knowledgeable, she only been living for more than a hundred years and only travelled inside Birak Kingdom, but she knew a spatial Artifact that could contain living things, breathing still living, living things, are rare and likely be in the possession of a powerful faction living at the Core Region of the 8 Realm.
Yet, it was in the possession of her lover, someone only at the Genesis Lake Realm.
"Made sure no one else knew about it, or you will be hunted by every cultivators and factions in the world," she advised.
"Of course," Ryker looked appealed. He would not do something as foolish as that. The only one he would show the treasure would be those he trust, or those he subdued and turned into slave.
"Of course, there are more treasures inside the place," Ina butt in.
Sophia sighed.
"Of course there is. Lead the way,"
-x-
When the three women entered the library, they are shocked to the point of speechlessness.
They could only looked at the variety of Cultivation Techniques, unblinking like if the do so, the entire collection would disappear.
"Is this where you obtain the Cultivation Technique you took?" Sophia asked.
"Yes. As for Cultivation Art, there is another place," Ryker lead them to the room where the Cultivation Art are stored at.
At the sight of countless Cultivation Arts, Sophia wondered if she was dreaming, and if she did, she did not want to wake.
Thankfully, reality is not that cruel, and all she saw is real.
"You handed what could not even be considered as a drop in your collection," the older one of the two, Sophia pouted like a child.
"There is a reason for that,"
Sophia sighed, "Yes, I know. Taking out so many Cultivation Arts would cause suspicion. Not to mention, taking out anything more powerful than Low-Tier Spirit Art would lead to the Adventure Guild or the powerful factions in the Continent to search the auction house,"
Ryker nodded, showing that was the reason for him not taking anymore.
"However, I can let you pick up some Cultivation Art for yourself. Maybe even taking out some powerful Cultivation Techniques for all of you," the three women turned towards Ryker, completely blindsided by the offer.
"All of you are my women, of course I would want the best for you," he have his reason.
At that moment, the three hugged him, all while thanking Ryker for his generosity.
"I did this to all of my wives, and lovers," he told them, hoping to stop them when a thought occurred to him.
"Does me being generous would get me some rewards?" the suggestive tone he used caused the three women to blush, though they were able to collect themselves at the end.
"Maybe. You have to find out tonight," learning quickly, Sophia used a sultry tone as pressed her assets to his arm, which made Ryker remember how soft they are.
