Dominatrix System

Chapter 112: Plans

Jackie's clean-up was good, although not perfect. There was a couple of places that she didn't see, and I helped her out before sending her off. I made sure all the slaves were secure in their cells and fed. It seemed Jackie understood that Slaves needed food too, and they were in the middle of eating when I did my final check.

I then locked up the place leaving just a little earlier than usual. I headed back to the apartment to change, and I moved across that field of instinctual dread before arriving. I was quicker than usual, and I arrived. Downstairs Kitty looked indignant and avoiding Freya. On the other hand, Freya was smiling towards Kitty as she tried to hide in the corner. The Nobility in the shop looking for new clothing to surprise their men with also took to Kitty seeing her on all fours. Many were declaring their want for their own pet.

I ignored that all as I headed up to the apartment, quickly changing. The night would fall soon, and I wanted to be in the slums where our headquarters was as soon as possible without leaking my position.

I moved quickly and stripped myself of my usual clothes and weapons. I needed to make sure my persona wasn't matched up to anything other than a hidden member of the gang. My Sadistic enchanted whip was something too eye-catching for that. I grabbed my older whips and generic bladed whip, ready for battle.

I slipped on Dark blood red leather that tightly bound itself to me. Leather had become like a second skin to me in this life. It was a constant in this life, and it hugged the contours of my body regularly. It was a feeling of light armor that I had grown to trust in.

I dawned a cloak and opened a window to exit. I swung up and closed the window with a hand even as I did so. I then made my way away from the apartment, hopping along the apartment tops. Many nobles had seen me go upstairs into the apartment, which gave plausible deniability if someone started asking questions.

That didn't matter, though at this point, and I moved toward the gang's headquarters silently upon rooftops. Soon I jumped down to the streets far away from the apartment. I moved through the crowded streets as the light in the sky began to darken. City guards patrols started to come out more often as if woken up by night coming in. The number of deaths and the orders from the city lord increased those patrols to stem the number of deaths happening.

It didn't matter today, though, I thought with a smirk. Tonight I was going on a killing spree. I wanted to pile the bodies and level up. I wanted to show the enemies that they couldn't continue to harass us without the bodies piling up. They had only seen that we had done short bursts of killing before consolidating our territory. They didn't want to give Cassandra that time to bunker down in the territory.

The only thing that stopped the full all-out war was the City guard populating the streets. As I moved past, a patrol of ten guards looking alert while walking down the street only punctuated the sheer number of the guards. You could even see detachments of two or three. I hoped that was one of the reasons for the Necromancer guild to hold off their attack to. If the reason was they were waiting for fewer alert guards all over the place; I think they would be smart.

Although it was supposed to be under the sensibilities of the nobles, the gang activity didn't mean they were not a part of the problem. Any form of gold to the more corrupt members of the nobility was legitimate—many probably held shares in Gangs taking a part of the profits they made. As long as not too many bodies stacked that it made them look bad, they couldn't care less what they did.

It made me wonder how the Empire held together with Nobility this corrupt. It didn't matter, though, I thought as I found my way into the headquarters while still in my thoughts. I slipped in while no one was watching and made my way into the underground meeting area.
