Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

At her interrogative question, the six warriors straightened up like their boss arrived to inspect them. They immediately removed themselves from the doorway as the leader replied. "Lady Tsugumi, we did not, we simply asked this kind sir if they came at a Dominators recommendation."

Tsugumi then chucked as she answers. "Haha, Gentlemen you could have a hundred of me and you would still fail to bar my brother from this shop. Good thing I arrived, he does not spare punches like I do." The steel men noticeably gulped and the one with a red chevron on his shoulder declared in a small voice.

"Hehe, if they are with you Lady Tsugumi then they must be noble individuals, please forgive me, my lord. My eyes need treatment for not being able to see your eminence. Please enjoy shopping at the cutting edge."

Hiro ignored the man and spread out his arms. Tsugumi jumped into his embrace like a child and giggled as Hiro spun her around. When they both had their fill, Hiro placed his sister back on the ground as he messed up her hair.

"We only separated for a little while and you act like you haven't seen me in ages."

"Aren't you the same Nii-sama?"

Tsugumi then jumped at her sisters-in-law in an equally affectionate manner. Hiro's wives embraced her and patted her. Ironically age wise Raylene, Jade, and Vanessa were around 16-17 while Tsugumi was already 19 years of age.

Yet, due to Hiro and her sister-in-laws having more mature mentalities their physics now looked at their early twenties. Making Tsugumi appear the youngest in terms of appearance. Wide-eyed, Tsugu then pulled her sister's hand and pulled them inside.

"Onee-samas they got a lot of good stuff, lets's get you geared up to the nines. Nii-sama could buy this whole store so money is no object. Let's go!"

Raylene looked back at her husband for confirmation. The man simply nodded while the girls all looked around in the weapons section. Lars came down from another floor and saw Hiro.

"Master, there are a lot of high-end equipment here. They cost a fortune though. I do not think we have enough money."

"Buy what you can, we will ask Alan to buy the ones we need."

"Eh? But won't we be going to the Apocalypse Zone? What about logistics."

"I will handle it. Lars, can you go and fetch Alan? I need to speak with him."

Before Lars could reply, a voice interrupted them. "Master, no need I am here." Alan and Madame Xing entered the store just as Hiro sought them. Madame Xing bowed in front of Hiro as she made a wide smile.

"Master, I am pleased, you seem to have enjoyed your stay at Arcus Kiss. I have something I wish to discuss may we please have a moment of your time? Although I am unsure if there is a break room available."

The guards who saw the new arriving guests started to sweat bullets. Alan Srayver and Madame Xing were known businessmen whom even counts could not order around due to their influence. Yet both gave their utmost respect to this man. Such an esteemed person could turn their lives into hell with just one word.

A doorman the one with a chevron squeaked out in a raspy voice. "TTTHERE is Madame Xing. All the break rooms are available! Please let us get them ready!"

The six warriors then marched into an area of the store and started opening doors and forced the occupants outside.

"OY! Get out I am in a meeting." "I don't give a shit get out! I need this room empty!"

"Huh? I have a reservation for this room." "No, you don't. It was just canceled get out."

"As you can see, this armor is… hey what are you doing." "The store is having an earthquake drill please leave."

Hiro and Madame Xing started laughing at the ludicrousness of the doormen. In an attempt to cater to their group, the others were being forced out. It felt good to be on the special end, rather than the one being sent away, status normally followed power.

Hiro couldn't help but comment. "Madame Xing your reputation precedes you. I am starting to understand what kind of sway you hold in the upper nobility."

The woman laughed as she placed a fan to her mouth. "Master, surely you jest. They were terrified of you even before we arrived. I wonder how you showed them your majesty. Fufu."

"I actually didn't, Tsugumi must have done something to them."

At that moment the doorman with a chevron returned and saluted in front of Hiro. "My lords and lady, all the break rooms are now ready for use. Please choose one, we will ensure none will disturb you."

Hiro, Alan, and Xing entered one of the rooms and settled in. Naturally, Hiro sat at the main table while Alan and Xing sat to the side. Amused at the power plays the couple was already starting to follow, Hiro didn't comment and spoke his mind.

"Alan, I have a task for you. Madame Xing, I know you are his woman but I do not trust you yet please leave."

The madame of Arcus kiss quickly stood up and sat in a dogeza and bowed to Hiro. "Master, that is what I came to discuss. Please let me follow you and serve you. Your kind words melted my heart and I wish to enter your service. I know you have no need for a paramour, but I can be useful as a spy or whatever you may require of me."

Hiro then unleashed his pressure which sent the woman to kiss the floor. The power threatened to break all her bones in excruciating agony. "If I told you to betray the prince, would you do it?"

Struggling Madame Xing couldn't even breathe properly and spoke in gasps. "I cannot my lord… The prince is my benefactor…and I am sure….you won't order such a command…"

Amuse Hiro asked in curiosity "Ho? Why do you think that woman?"

"The Master is a man of his word…that is how I feel…you will not betray… your word until you pay your debts.."

"Then what if I kill you right now for not following my wishes."

"Kill…me… then, It means I failed… to see your character… Such death is normal in intelligence…"

Alan grew frantic when he saw Xing's shoulders starting to turn violet from bruising. Again he marveled at the guts of this woman. His hands started to get clammy from stress.

Hiro then canceled his pressure and threw a bottle at Alan. "Get her to drink it." After a few moments, Xing could again breathe normally and sat in front of the Butcher. Alan held her hands and didn't leave even after she was fine.

The woman noticed the trembling and tension in her man's hands. She felt his fright at her ordeal. Her thoughts were interrupted when Hiro spoke.

"I admire your courage, Alan choose well. Even though my goal will not go against Dylan, it is not so clear and simple. Alan, I will use this time to educate you as well."

Hiro then shared the high-level details of the Invasion of the [Forsaken], as well as the group bringing down the entire continent the Convent of Shadows. After he ended he asked the two in front of him.

"I created Redeemed in order to find and destroy the convent. My first goal is to get as strong as possible while raising a powerful army. My second is to strengthen the empires as much as possible. I aim to find out what happened to the Saviors as well."
