Chapter 150: Dark Wings' branch

**In chapter 100 Ryu observed the slave mark as star-shaped. Edited that to a Wings-shaped mark now.**

*Grsshh* He slid the cover for a bit, just to take a look, and immediately closed it back. His heart was beating like crazy. By some dumb luck, she had decided to call this her new home. All of the greed in Ryu's heart had been swept away by the sheer terror the woman put him through just within a duration of 5 seconds. Now he can't wait to get sufficiently away from her. But did he have any option? Of course, he can decide to dump her somewhere far off but he was sure the woman won't be impressed with such extreme hospitality. And God save him if she managed to find him out again.

"At least I am still alive." If she has wanted me dead she would have killed him ten times over within those few seconds. He decided to wait for the dragon to contact him before he could plan something for this headache. He left the coffin as it is and completed his task in the garden before going back and hugging Dorothea's naked body to sleep.

**Next day**

Ryu got up to some sloppy sounds. Raising his head he found Amelia between his legs with his cock on her face and his balls in her mouth. Placing his hands on her face she pinched her nose playfully "You can't even wait for me to get up?" She acted like a spoiled brat. "Nope. You don't know how bad I wanted this." She got up and turning around, forced her butt on his cock. Guiding his dong to penetrate her ass she sat down. "Uffff..mhhhh.. it's been so long since I got it there." Ryu turned to find Dorothea still in her sleep. Over his groin Amelia had begun rocking back and forth, devouring his thick cock with her ass. She was simultaneously rubbing her clit with her hands. As her arousal grew, so did her rolling motions. The whole bed was shaking and Dorothea can't keep sleeping for long. Coming face to face with this adulterous mother and son, first thing in the morning wasn't really on her mind. But having been fucked by Ryu twice now she can understand why Amelia could not keep her hands of the boy.

Amelia seemed to have accumulated too much lust. Within 10 minutes she was writhing with her orgasm. She didn't care that Dorothea was looking at her rather she offered Ryu's cock to her. "Do you want to try it, Dorothea? It tastes really good." Having achieved her release she was dutifully cleaning her boy off. Dorothea too took on her offer and both women made sure to lick all of the pussy juices off him.

** A few hours later**

"I am sorry aunt but there is no other way." Ryu said in a low voice while he was out on the streets with Dorothea. They had to get her registered with the Dark Wings branch in the town. If he didn't do that then anyone can lay his or her claim over her and he won't have any proof. Although Ryu didn't have any good feelings towards this organization, truth was that they were the only one who could help him keep Dorothea in Korua. "It's okay Ryu, you have already done so much for me. I know you kids want me to move on in life and won't I be disrespecting your determination if I can't even endure little pain." Ryu knew she was downplaying it. To get her registered, they had to get her branded first and anyone can tell that it wasn't going to be pleasant. Next, they will put a necessary slave spell on her. That acts as an assurance to the organization's customers that the slaves they purchased from them won't ever harm them.

Right now Ryu was going to meet with Jake and together they will visit the Dark Wings branch in the town. "To tell you the truth aunt. I actually lied to Sophia about it. She nagged me that she wanted to be with you when you will be branded but I knew it will be too painful for her to watch that. So I lied that I will be visiting that place tomorrow instead of today." Dorothea laughed in response. "I don't know what to say, Ryu. You did deceive her but that was for her own good." They chatted all along the way until they met with Jake and he took the lead in directing them.

"I only know the location. Like I told you earlier, I have never been inside the place." Jake informed them as he navigated through the busy streets of the marketplace. "It's okay. We will just figure it out." Ryu responded as they closed in on their destination. Slowly the area began to turn quieter as the crowd thinned out. After a hundred meters, they could barely see anyone around. The people they saw were mostly slaves only, evident from the wings-shaped mark on their exposed butts as most of the slaves were not allowed to wear any clothes by their owners. Dorothea can only feel lucky that she ended up with Ryu as she was not unaware of the treatment of slaves in their society.

Ryu was getting random winks from the woman looking down from the balconies of the houses on the street. They must have entered a red light area. Jake remained unfazed as he brought both of them to a majestic building at the end of the street. It looked even bigger than the chief's mansion itself. A maid was standing at the door to welcome the guests. "This place becomes rather bustling at night." Jake took a look all-around before entering the building. Ryu and Dorothea followed behind him.

"Can I help you with something, young masters?" Another maid instantly came to guide them, properly bowing in a display of perfect etiquette. She was a beautiful girl around the age of Ruby, with a low-neck dress that left little to the imagination. She must have assumed them to be from a noble family as the middle-income citizens rarely had enough resources to do business at their place.

"Yes, can you please show us where we can register a slave with your organization? My friend here actually liked this woman from outside of Korua and now wants to take her in." Jake took over, calmly handling the situation. "Ohh.. sure. Please follow me. I will bring you there." Jake said his thanks as they followed the maid through the enormous building. Having never seen this amount of luxury before, Dorothea was a bit nervous. Being aware of that, Ryu got hold of her hand "Don't worry!" She sent a smile his way. There was something about the boy that always put her heart at ease.

"You seem to be very close to your slave young master." Ryu replied with a single 'humm'. The maid had wanted to initiate a conversation but seeing the lack of interest from Ryu, she tactfully shut up.

Navigating through a large hall, their group came across a contingent coming towards them. Ryu found a woman in front, being followed by many men and women. She was a gorgeous woman as he felt mesmerized by her beauty for a few seconds. This surprised him. He was no virgin and after having been with many women these past two months, it wasn't easy to capture his attention. But the more he looked, the more he realized how wrong he was. Having gotten closer to her now, he can see her better. She had a healthy body with long black hair tied in a ponytail. He wore glasses on her face, with healthy skin that looked a bit reddish at places. Her pupils were a deeper shade of red. They were even deeper than Amelia's. She had a perfect hourglass-shaped body with bountiful breasts and a firm ass that swayed with her every step. She was even dressed equally sensually. Every single motion of hers was exuding seduction. For a moment Ryu felt like she looked at him and as their eyes met, he felt like her eyes glowed for a bit.

"Wake up brat!" Ryu found himself standing in the corridor in the same place, while Jake and the maid had moved ahead. "Are you okay, Ryu?" Dorothea held onto his hands, shaking him like she was trying to wake him up from a reverie. Ryu was confused at first and hurriedly turned around to find that the woman he was looking at had already moved past him. "Ohh.. Did something happen to me? I feel like I blanked out for a moment." Dorothea looked concerned "Yeah, you just stood at a place and refused to respond to me." At that time Jake and the maid too had noticed Ryu, and they turned around to check on him. Ryu held onto Dorothea's hands following behind the maid once again.

Although he convinced Dorothea that he was alright but he knew the woman did something to him. He got his answers quite readily. "Brat, I know you can't help yourself in front of a beauty and have a libido that might even put us demons to shame but if you want to keep that head of yours on your shoulders then keep your dick away from that woman." Ryu wasn't surprised that the demon spoke to him as he could feel that the bindings on this guy had strangely loosened by quite a bit in these few days. It would take some time for him to seal him back. But right now he had other pressing matter, like the identity of that woman. "Who was she? Were you the one who woke me up?" He was sure that he heard this guy's voice while he fell under her spell.

"Who else do you think will come to your rescue kid? That woman is not something you can deal with. Stay away from her. I can save you from falling under her charm but if you intentionally fuck this up, then both of us are doomed." Ryu laughed in his mind "Didn't know demons can get this scared of a woman." He laughed back at him "hahaha.. scared? You are a funny kid. I just don't want you dead. How will I complete my plans if you die on me?" Ryu didn't talk to the guy any further as it was impossible, that he will be willing to share his 'plans'. He didn't believe the guy completely but one this was sure, he wasn't joking about the woman. Her face flashed back in his mind, she was a disastrous beauty.

Some distance away from Ryu the same woman had turned around to check out the young boy. "Hmm?" At his level, the boy should have lost himself for at least an hour but interestingly he recovered almost immediately. The maid next to her saw her turn around "Hehe... Isn't he a cute one?" She nodded her head lightly "Indeed, he will grow into a fine young man." The maid giggled once again "What a coincidence haha. That is the kid I told you about. Grandson of Grand Magus Emily." The woman slowed down her pace "Ohh.. is that so? Then why don't we take a look for ourselves? He sure looked rather intriguing to me." The maid nodded "Sure. If you want I can bring him to meet you." The dark-haired mature shook her head. "No need. I would like to take a look myself. Follow me." Addressing the maid she turned towards the group following behind her. "You guys go ahead. I will catch up with you." No one objected to her decision and she took off in the same direction as Ryu, with the maid.

"You told me he put up the best performance in the awakening ceremony, then how come he is still here in this ragtag place? Don't tell me not even a single power was interested in the boy? Or the chief here didn't even bother to put forth his application?" The maid shook her head in response. "From the intelligence we gathered, chief Eric did put forth his appeal to the capital but most of the powers were simply not too enthusiastic about a plant-based mage. They didn't feel the boy had much potential."

"Well, I can certainly see where they are coming from. They just don't want to take any risk supporting someone with such peculiar magic. Also, there had been so few plant magic users in the past. That means there isn't much knowledge around to share with the boy." She found Ryu and his mates entering a room. "Are they planning to register a slave with us? Interesting." The maid on the side nodded "My guess will be, it's that woman accompanying them."
