Chapter 586  A Secret Meeting At The Bar

"Ahhh! Ahh!! Ahhhh!!"

"I\'m cumming!!"

"Mmmm~ Lick that right theeeeere~"

I blinked at the bunch of people having sex at the bar counter without a care in the world.

It took me a while but I noticed each pair had a slave that was engaged in the sexual act.

Emilia grinned, "The bar promotes free use of their slaves. If you see anyone you like, just call them over and do whatever you want with them. Anything is fine as long as you do not inflict physical harm on them."

I gagged, "Err… No thanks, I\'m not that into err… Having some stranger\'s dick being in the same hole moments before."

She waved her hand, "You don\'t need to use the slaves if you don\'t want to. If any other patrons catch your eye you could just ask them too. Come on, I know a good spot here."

She pulled me in before I could protest.

Seriously… I was only expecting Lisa to bring me to places like this, not Emilia…

Then again, I was reminded that Lisa and Emilia were actually friends so maybe they went to these kinds of places together in the past? This makes so much more sense now that I think about it…

Emilia brought me up to the second floor of the store, where it was surprisingly empty despite the first floor being full of people.

"Why is this place so empty?" I asked.

She smirked, "Because I had this entire floor reserved in advance."

… She planned for this huh?

Emilia then brought me to the table near the railing that gave us a view of the floor below.

A female Mahun slave then came over to us, "Good morning miss Emilia. Shall I bring over the course you ordered?"

"Oh, yes please," The Nekomata affirmed.

The slave gave a bow before leaving us.

"Well just let me know if you want to do that or anyone here for that matter, though I\'d ask that you wait until our food comes before you do."

"So… You like her? You could just ask and she\'ll get under the table to start sucking you off."

"Err… No thanks… Not now at least…"

"Well just let me know if you want to do that or anyone here for that matter, though I\'d ask that you wait until our food comes before you do."

I narrowed my eyes at her, "So you had the entire day planned out already huh?"

She shrugged, Not the entire day to be honest. Besides, I need the place empty if I were to talk about my current situation."

I blinked, then I realised that if I were to look at this objectively, this was a good spot for us to hold this meeting.

She had taken a seat at a place where we could easily see who was coming in and going out of the bar and pretty much everyone was fucking downstairs which made anyone who wasn\'t stand out quite obviously.

And since this was a \'date\', it wasn\'t that odd for Emilia to reserve this entire floor for ourselves either.

She then leaned forward and took my hand in hers.

To the observer below, it might just seem that she\'s flirting with me but her words were anything but romantic.

"I\'m going to be honest, Aster… I need some help."

I tilted my head slightly, "What do you need?"

"I\'m planning on consolidating all my resources in the next few weeks before I abandon the ship and leave them behind. No doubt my family would send people after me once I do that."

"I\'m guessing you\'re looking for a place to hide in the meantime?"

She shook her head, "I have plenty of places to hide if I want to, but that would mean I have to hide myself for the rest of my life and not even attempt to get back into making any money since they would immediately know it\'s me and destroy my business."

"Would they really be that petty?"

"It\'s not about pettiness. They know that I would be able to build up another business empire that could rival or even outright run them out of their own business. And I don\'t want to stop making money."

"Wow… You\'re that confident?"

She smirked, "Who do you think helped them build up the first one?"

"And yet they still decided that it would be a good idea to get rid of you?"

I felt her grip tighten on my hand, "If I had to hazard a guess… They could simply blame my death on some accident or even monsters and then take over everything I had built up without any consequences. I\'ve pretty much set things up to be able to run by themselves with minimal feedback from me and… Ah, of course, I think you\'re beautiful too~"

I raised an eyebrow at her sudden compliment until I heard a pair of footsteps coming up from behind me.

The slave that had first greeted us was walking towards us with a tray, setting it down on the table between us. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

On it were two flagons of what I suspect to be beer and one of it was placed in front of me while the other was passed to Emilia.

The slave girl gave a slight bow before returning downstairs.

Emilia picked up one of the flagons and waited for a moment before continuing.

"Anyway… I guess you already figured out what I need?"

I nodded, "You\'re hoping that I can bring you under our Family\'s wing so that your family will leave you alone."

"That\'s right. I already had a contract drawn up last night too. Here."

She pulled out a piece of paper from under her shirt and slipped it over to me on the table.

Just how much did she prepare for this?

I unfolded the paper and quickly read through its contents.

Ok… This is quite a detailed contract for something that she did just the night before…

Her terms are that whatever she had earned before coming to our Family remained solely hers and any business she opens after joining our family will be jointly owned by both herself and our Family with each side owning a fifty percent share. Profits will be split at the end of every quarter and we are to give her full autonomy in her businesses. In return, she would only use her own assets to do business and in the event that she has to borrow our assets to do business, she will compensate us the appropriate fee for making use of those assets in full.

I raised an eyebrow at her, "I kind of feel like you\'re demanding quite a bit with this?"

She shrugged, "My family will definitely choose not to antagonise you to get me and all I need is the Nilm Family at my back to start doing business again. I\'m using my own assets so the risk for me is much higher than it is for you guys. All you have to do is name me as one of your people and that\'s about it."

"Uh-huh… I suppose I\'ll have to bring this back to let Mother decide on it though… Seeing as I\'m not the head of the Family after all."

She hesitated, "Erm… Couldn\'t you just accept it in your mother\'s stead? I\'m sure she would just accept it if you told her you decided on it already."

I shook my head, "I don\'t want to do that especially when I\'ve decided not to take over the family any time soon. I\'ve told you before haven\'t I? I want to explore the World on my own."

She pointed at the table, "Aren\'t you kind of doing that now? Is there a need to reject the position and go out on your own?"

"That\'s because I have no idea when I would return back to Mother\'s side. Besides… I\'d rather not have the people I meet see me as the heir of the Nilm Family but rather just Aster instead."

Emilia grimaced, "Ugh… I understand… This would delay some of my plans a bit but I suppose I can adapt to it…"

I folded the contract and placed it into my Pack of Folding, which I would bring back home for Mother to see afterwards.

"So anything else I should know?" I asked.

"Hmm… How long do you intend to stay here?"

"I\'m not sure but I\'m planning to attend the slave exhibition happening the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, are you going to the auction as well?"

I shrugged, "I\'ve already said this but I\'m not the one looking for slaves here. I\'m just going there for the experience."

"Hmm… I see, I guess I\'ll pass since I have things to prepare for but have fun there. I\'ll actually recommend you to attend the combat slave exhibition, there are quite a number of proficient slaves there that you might consider obtaining. I know you said you weren\'t looking for a slave but it doesn\'t hurt to give it a look. Besides, it\'s actually entertaining to watch by itself."

"I\'ll keep that in mind."

Our conversation was cut again when footsteps came from behind once again and the slave girl returned with another tray in hand, this time laden with food.

Since our purposes for this meeting was pretty much dealt with, we simply enjoyed the food that was made for us.

I\'m not gonna lie, Emilia wasn\'t kidding when she said the food here was good so there\'s that at least.

Also… No, I did not ask anyone to get under the table.
