Chapter 3

“Master! Your home!” Neko yelled as I opened the front door of the house and walked in. 

Nicoli who was with me walked in behind me and shut the door making sure to lock it. I could hear Neko running down the stairs as she stomped on each step. I thought cats had light footsteps. 

Nicoli and I walked into the living room and I simply sat on the couch. Nicoli followed and sat next to me. 

“Has the pantherean woman started to adjust to her role here in the home?” Nicoli questioned. 

“I would like to think so. So far she has cooked multiple meals and so far has kept the house clean.” I replied as I stood from my seat and walked towards the mini-bar I had in the living room. 

I offered Nicoli a drink and he gladly accepted it. We had just left my father’s house. He was being investigated by the police once again and we had met up with his lawyers. So far the police were simply fishing and had no concrete evidence that tied my father to any crime but his lawyers advised us to lay low. 

I poured scotch into my glass and took a sip. The alcohol burned my throat on the way down.

Neko walked into the Living room in a Thong and lace bra. 

“Welcome home Master!” Neko exclaimed in happiness. 

Nicoli spits out his drink when he saw her and the sight simply made me want to laugh. I watched as Nicoli coughed out all the alcohol he had breathed in when he saw Neko in her ‘Uniform’ or so she called it. 

“Neko, put some clothes on” I sighed in frustration as I gave her a once over. 

“Master, this is my uniform,” Neko complained as she looked at me with soft eyes. 

“Don’t be ridiculous Neko, I didn’t assign a uniform for you, and If I had It probably would have been nun’s clothing.” 

“Have you done your training today?” I questioned as I watched her sway her tail from side to side. 

“Yes, I  completed my archery and martial arts training today. Tomorrow I start sword fighting.” Neko commented proudly. 

“Very well, make sure you master every technique. I need to make sure you are useful to me.”

“Of course Master,” Neko replied as she simply bowed, making Nicoli choke on his drink once again. Neko had paid him no mind as she had fully flashed her ass at him while bowing at me. 

“Dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes,” Neko commented as she walked out of the room. I didn’t miss the way she shook her hips begging me to stare. I rolled my eyes at her and focused my attention back on Nicoli. 

“Are you alright old man?” I chuckled as I watched him cough once again. 

“Does she dress like this all the time?” Nicoli questioned in shock. 

“No, Sometimes she is naked.” I simply replied as I sat on the couch and turned the TV on, switching between channels. 

“Why couldn’t your father take after you and keep naked women around the house?” Nicoli sighed as he looked at his drink. 

“Father wanted nothing to do with women after what happened with mother, or have you forgotten?” I questioned as I looked at him. 

“No, You're right” Nicoli sighed as he took a swing of his drink once again. 

“I apologize for bringing it up,” Nicoli spoke after effectively swallowing his drink for the first time here in my home. 

“No need. I don’t really remember her anyway.” I shrugged as I stood from my seat and stood by the doorway. 

“Are you staying for dinner?” I questioned as I looked back at Nicoli. 

“No, thank you but I really must be going. Your father is probably going crazy without me and I feel your housekeeper will give me a heart attack.” Nicoli chuckled. 

“Very well, you can see yourself out,” I replied coolly and walked to the kitchen. 

“What's for dinner?” I questioned as I sat at the table. 

“I made some stuffed chicken and rice with vegetables,” Neko replied as she tended to the food. 

“Very well” 

“How was work?” Neko questioned as she placed the food on the table and started to serve me. 

“Fine.” 

“Did anything interesting happen?” Neko questioned as she served herself and started to eat. 

“Not really.” 

I continued to eat the food. It was actually pretty good and I enjoyed eating Neko’s food. It had been a couple of weeks since Neko moved in. She was actually a pretty good cook. Aside from the fact that she was almost always naked. 

“Master… You know no one would be angry if you spoke to me more.”

“I’m aware.” 

When I finished my food I stood and placed my dish in the sink. I headed to my room to take a nice hot bath.

“Neko, are you ready yet?” I sighed in annoyance as Neko was getting ready. 

“Almost.” She giggled as she tied her heels. 

“Must you always wear something so skimpy?” I sighed in annoyance as I looked over her outfit. 

She was wearing a tight black dress and a pair of bright red strappy heels. It’s not like we were going to dinner. We were just going to a slave auction. With Arcano’s money, I would be able to buy a couple of slaves, train them and sell them for more later on. 

“We are going to be late.” 

I sighed in annoyance and walked out of the room. If she takes any longer I will leave her. I climbed into the car and turned it on. 

Neko quickly climbed into the passenger seat with a huge smile on her face. I didn’t quite understand why. 

“Why are you so cheery?” I question

“This is the first time I’ve been out of the house.” Neko smiles.

“What are you talking about? You leave all the time to go grocery shopping and run errands. 

“Yes, but I’m always alone. This time I get to go with you.” She giggles. 

“We are simply going to run an errand. There is no need for excitement” 

I look away and start to pull out my car from the driveway. Hopefully, I will be able to find some good slaves at today’s auction.

“Welcome to our auction. The bidding will start soon please be patient.” The nicely dressed man spoke as he escorted me to a closed-off room with one wall made completely of glass. 

In the middle of the room was a huge black leather reclining chair. I walked with ease and sat on the couch. Neko stood beside me and looked around the room. 

“I remember this as a totally different experience,” Neko whispered. 

“The Auction will begin with this lovely specimen. She is a lovely elven girl with the power to control the earth!” The auctioneer spoke as on the other side of the window wall there was a small girl with long black hair. She didn’t look very old but she was tied in chains and looked like she had been dosed up with a lot of drugs. 

“The bidding will start at 10,000 dollars. Do I hear 12,000?” The auctioneer spoke out through the microphone. 

I looked at the buzzer on the table next to my chair and contemplated pushing the button. 

“She looks like she is only 12 years old.” Neko whispered as she watched how men bid on the girl. 

“She’s just a baby.” Neko watched with horror as the price of the girl continued to rise. 

“Master please!” Neko yelled. 

“She will be of no use to me Neko. She is too young and it would just be a waste of money.” I watched as the price continued to rise. 

The men that bid on her could be seen every time they hit the buzzer. 

The way the auction was set up was that every bidder was placed in a different room on 3 different floors. Each room was side by side and they all formed a circle around the main slave room. The lights in each room were dimmed. Everytime someone bid their room light would shine and everyone else could see the person from their glass wall. 

If the bidder wanted anonymity they would wear a mask. Although just to enter the auction house one had to have a membership that cost 5,000 dollars a month. So only serious buyers would show up to these auctions anyway. 

The slaves were in a small room on the bottom floor. Since I was currently on the 2 floor I was unable to see the room under me and above me. 

“Master please, I will train her myself.” Neko whimpered as she watched the girl look around the empty room. 

“I won’t let you down,” Neko begged as she looked at me with sad eyes. 

“I will not bid any higher than 50,000” I stated as a matter of fact. 

Neko’s eyes lit up with excitement as I hit the buzzer. 

“That's 27,000. Do I hear 28?” The auctioneer spoke out. 

Once my room lit up the bidding stopped as everyone watched me. My last name carried a lot of weight when it came to monsters. My father was very well know as was I. 

“27,000 going once? 27,000 going twice? SOLD, to the lovely Miss in room 47!” The auctioneer yelled. 

Two men came out and helped escort the young girl away. 

After a couple of other slaves were auctioned and bought I took a glance at my watch. Two hours had passed and so far none of the slave the auction house had displayed peaked my interest. 

“Our next specimen is a lizard man with excellent fighting skills.” The auctioneer chanted through the speaker. 

I quickly pushed down on the buzzer when the bidding started at 15,000 dollars. After a few more bids the price of the lizard man was now at 30,000 dollars. 

I once again hit the buzzer and the price went up to 32,000. 

“32,000 going once, going twice? SOLD! Once again to the lovely miss in room 47!” The auctioneer cheered. 

Satisfied with my purchases I stood up from my chair. Neko rose from the floor and looked at me confused. 

“Are we leaving?” Neko questioned as she looked at me. 

“Yes, I’m tired,” I replied as we walked out of the room. 

I headed to the room where the slaves are kept to pay for the slaves I bought today and to pick them up. Neko followed behind me in silence. 

When we reached the room I opened the door. I spoke with the woman at the counter and paid for my slaves. I then bought two collars and waited for my slaves to come out. When they finally arrived I put the collars on them and escorted them to my car. Neko was more than thrilled to see the girl in our care. I honestly couldn't care less. If she proved useful then I would think about keeping her but if not once her training was done she would be back to the auction house.
