Thinking of such consequences the four couldn't help but feel nervous. Could this brutal General of Death have called them out to silence them?
On high alert, they watched the lazy Sora and Esdeath, who were still enjoying their service, and secretly prepared for battle.
"Hey… you all seem quite nervous. Are we that scary?"
Those deep eyes seemed to see through their souls as Sora looked at them with a half-smile.
Of course, Sora's gaze mainly lingered on Suzuka and Mez, the two girls. As for the freak in just shorts and the fierce-looking bearded uncle, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
The four had the urge to curse. Damn it, how could they not be nervous with this cruel guy staring at them?!
"Cough! General Sora, now let's hear your other condition!"
The Minister, who had also noticed the Four Rakshasa Demons' nervousness, was more concerned about Sora's other condition. Having suffered quite a bit today and being forced to pay a hefty price, the Minister just wanted to finish the deal and get them out of here!
"Well, since you're so eager, Minister, I won't beat around the bush."
"My other condition is them!"
With a smirk, Sora pointed at Suzuka and Mez.
He had had his eyes on these two girls for a while. The ability to freely manipulate their bodies—heh, such an interesting ability would surely lead to many fun games in the future!
Ibara and the bearded uncle Sten, who had been ignored, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this cruel guy wasn't targeting them, it was fine. But Suzuka and Mez couldn't help but tense up again, taking two steps back and immediately assuming a fighting stance.
"General Sora, they are my personal guards!"
Understanding what Sora was after, the Minister bit into a piece of meat fiercely, his face full of anger.
This damn bastard! He already had so many women around him, and now he's even targeting my two guards!
For some reason, the Minister felt a bit jealous. Even in his younger days, he wasn't as bold as this scoundrel! With so many women, how come he hasn't been drained to death on a woman's belly?!
"Hmph, Minister, just say yes or no. Besides, I left you two, didn't I?"
With a pout, Sora ignored the Minister's angry expression. Having these two beautiful girls guarding a useless old fatso like you is just a waste of their youth!
Esdeath, who had been silent, now opened her eyes. Her ice-blue eyes continuously scanned Suzuka and Mez, a wicked smile forming on her lips as she began planning how to train the two girls in the days to come…
As for Suzuka and Mez, they were initially stunned, but then a faint blush appeared on their cheeks. They naturally knew about this so-called strongest general in the empire.
"Fine, deal!"
Although losing two capable guards was somewhat unpleasant, compared to 200,000 troops, it was nothing. With a decisive glint in his eyes, the Minister spoke in a deep voice.
"Hahaha, good, Minister, here's the item!"
With a loud laugh, Sora stood up and directly threw the last token to the Minister.
"Did you hear that? My two Rakshasa beauties, from now on, you belong to me!"
Before the two girls could react, Sora instantly appeared in front of Suzuka and Mez, lifting their chins with a wicked smile.
Completely unable to resist, not even understanding how he had appeared before them, the girls' eyes were filled with shock. They had always been extremely confident in their strength, but now, in front of the strongest man in the empire, they realized how insignificant they were.
Nodding faintly, their innate female intuition told them they couldn't resist, nor should they…
"Good, we'll formalize the contract when we get back!"
Satisfied, Sora was in a great mood—two more beautiful girls added to his collection!
"Minister, don't forget the one million gold coins—not a single coin less!"
"Esdeath, let's go home!"
With the deal done, Sora had no desire to stay at the Minister's place any longer. He wrapped his arms around Suzuka and Mez's waists, called out to the back, and walked out.
Although somewhat nervous and shy, the two girls didn't resist. Since the Minister had so easily sold them off, they naturally had no reason to feel any attachment.
Moreover, from a woman's perspective, following this handsome, strongest man in the empire was surely better than staying with that fat old Minister, right?
"Heh… Minister, you're really a good guy. Looking forward to our next collaboration. Goodbye!"
With a wicked smile, Esdeath also stood up, stretched her waist, generously gave the Minister a "good guy" card, and then led Seryu and Kije out.
"Uh, Minister…"
With Sora and the others gone, only three old men remained in the room. Ibara and Sten stood awkwardly in place.
With Suzuka and Mez sold off by the Minister, the Four Rakshasa Demons were now just the Rakshasa Two Demons. This whole situation was quite a headache.
"Hmph, no one is to speak of today's events!"
With a cold snort, the Minister spoke sternly to Ibara and Sten.
His small eyes gleaming, with one million gold coins and a few women, he had gained half of the empire's military power. Adding to what he already had, he now controlled the entire empire's military. By all accounts, this deal was a win for him! But for some reason, whenever he thought of the disdainful and smug looks in Sora and Esdeath's eyes, the Minister couldn't help but feel a wave of displeasure, unable to feel any joy.
"Yes!"
Exchanging a glance, Ibara and Sten inwardly despised the Minister but didn't dare to say anything.
…
Location: General's Mansion.
"Hehe, everyone, look! Master has brought back new sisters again!"
"I heard from Seryu that they're the legendary Rakshasa Demons. As expected of Master!"
"Hey, Number 5, why are you grinning so mischievously? They're going to be our sisters now, so don't get any funny ideas!"
"No, no, not at all! Every time new sisters join, Master always trains them a bit. Hehehe, I just learned a few tricks from Big Sis Esdeath…"
...
"Hey, Suzuka, what should we do?"
Staring back at the gazes filled with aggression, Mez, the blonde, blue-eyed, and alluring girl, stood there awkwardly, nervously tugging at her companion Suzuka's sleeve as she whispered.
"What else can we do? Let's see what the Great General plans to do with us. Escaping is out of the question."
With her arms crossed, Suzuka spoke nonchalantly.
Though she appeared calm on the surface, Suzuka was inwardly shocked. Even though they hadn't fought, she could sense from their auras that every woman here was at least as strong as her and Mez!
"But, hehehe… Mez, don't you think this is where we truly belong? So many interesting people, and that sadistic queen… hehehe…"
With one hand resting on her chin, it seemed as if her hidden nature had been revealed. Suzuka panted heavily, her expression suggestive…
