Within a certain restaurant in the outer ring, a forgettable Geneform with brown hair and features was eating calmly...

...when.

SMACK!

Leon flinched, his grip on his fork tightening as he almost spilled his food, but calmly and naturally, his grip relaxed as the look on his face didn’t change.

He continued eating like nothing happened.

...

Earl Joe’s Mansion...

"IMBECILES!" Earl Joe barked. "WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW???!"

His right hand moved like a bullet, smacking one of the girls on the face before she could react!

SMACK!

"YOU’VE BEEN FIXING MY CLOTHES FOR AN HOUR NOW!" He roared.

As an E Rank Ascended, NetRunner or not, a slap from him no matter how little effort he used against a non-Ascended was extremely lethal.

The left side of the girl’s face became deformed, literally as she spat out blood alongside 3 of her teeth, collapsing to the ground in a violent and uncontrolled manner.

The force of the fall left her with painful bruises as she bled from her hand and her knees.

Despite the acute pain surging through her brain though, the moment she hit the ground, she didn’t let out a single whimper in pain as she immediately jumped up to her knees and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I’n... I’mv wsorry..." she pleaded incoherently with her bleeding mouth having lost a few teeth.

The 2 other girls also attending to the Earl took a step back in horror as they bowed low immediately, showing subservience.

But that was not enough for the Earl.

Instead of paying attention to them or their plea, he paid attention to the blood that now stained his marble floor. The sight of blood on his luxurious marble floor turned a flip in this Geneform’s brain.

Instantly, his face scrunched, twisting in rage gradually till his face became completely contorted in raw anger.

"HOW DARE YOU SULLY MY FLOOR?!" He raged.

He turned to glare at her. "Do you know how much 1 of these marbles cost??? One of them is enough to buy 10 of you!" He snarled.

The girl didn’t say a word, just kowtowing in a silent and desperate plea, but instead of her silence to abate his anger it only aggravated him more.

"Pathetic Slave!" He cursed and then...

BZZZ!

Neon green ADE flared around him.

Neural Burn!

He attacked!

Using a D Rank ability against a non-Ascended was an overkill, but the Earl clearly didn’t care and like expected, it was lethal.

The girl’s eyes immediately rolled behind her head as she convulsed violently before growing still, becoming brain-dead!

The other 2 girls shuddered in horror and fear.

Seeing her go still, Joe scoffed. "Pathetic," he said and gestured at the air, instructing the mansion’s unique A.I to call his assistant.

Click!

"Yes my Lord". The male Geneform, a Baron answered calmly.

"Come take this pathetic slave out of my room," he said. "Her brain is dead, all she’s good for now is manual labor. Find some work in the mansion that fits her, and if she’s too brain-dead to do it, kill her and feed her to the dogs".

"Yes Lord Joe". The Baron nodded calmly, then Joe ended the call.

He finally looked at the 2 other slaves who immediately shuddered again under his gaze.

Their reactions made him scoff.

"You!" He casually pointed at one of them. "Come here".

The girl trembled but she obeyed and moved over without any complaints.

"That pathetic slave just ruined my mood," he said while pushing his neatly permed black hair back with one hand. "I need you to fix it now". He stared at her. "You know what to do right or should I teach you?" He asked menacingly.

The girl nodded frantically, then she immediately moved in front of him and knelt down beside him, carefully removing his belt and unbuttoning his pants.

She brought out his penis and with careful and subtly trembling hands, she guided it into her mouth, giving him a blowjob right there on the spot.

"Arghh...," Joe moaned, grabbing her hair with one hand while using the other to ruffle his hair slightly.

"This is the only thing stopping me from becoming a Synth". He muttered with a slight groan in pleasure. "They don’t get to experience this".

As the act went on, the door to the room was pushed open as a Geneform walked in- his personal assistant.

He stared at his boss and the slave giving him a blowjob, then he ignored it like nothing happened as he walked towards the slave who was on the ground with froth coming from her mouth.

He checked her pulse and shook his head. "Dead".

He lifted her up easily over his shoulder and carried her off the room. As he left, he dialed a number through the mansion A.I.

Click!

"Boss Dante".

"We’re short on 1 slave at the mansion," he said immediately. "Send in another one now. A girl, young, the Earl’s spec like usual".

"Yes boss".

The call ended.

Shortly after Dante, Joe’s personal assistant left the room, the door was opened again and a middle-aged woman dressed in extravagant jewelry and attire walked into the room only to see her husband getting a blowjob from a slave.

She froze and stood by the door, quietly staring at the act.

As a D Rank NetRunner, Joe knew the moment his wife entered the room but he didn’t react as he urged the slave to continue.

A few minutes later, he hit climax and finally ejaculated.

"Ugh...!" He spilled all his fluids into her mouth and slapped her on the cheek playfully in satisfaction. "Good girl, you can leave now".

The slave dared not spit it out as she swallowed the sperm from his body, and alongside the other slave who remained with her head bowed since, they scurried out of the room in fear.

The Earl’s wife, Mrs. Joe looked at her husband with a complicated look in her eyes. "I heard that another slave died, so I came to check".

Joe nodded impatiently. "You’ve seen, now you can go. You’re not needed here. I’m getting ready for an important meeting". As he said, he got himself fully dressed again with the slaves gone now.

His wife looked at him for a few seconds in silence, she opened her mouth like she wanted to make a comment but then she closed it back.

She nodded and turned around. "Good luck out there," she said and left.

"I don’t need your luck woman," Joe muttered as she left. "A real man makes his own luck, like me".

Shortly after leaving her husband’s room, Mrs. Joe retrieved a dagger and went straight to the slave quarters where she located the 2 slaves easily.

She dragged both of them to the bathroom where she locked them in.

"Ma, please!" Both girls went on their knees and started pleading immediately. "I didn’t intend to do it, he forced me!"

"Ma, I didn’t see anything!" The other girl pleaded.

The middle-aged woman didn’t react as with the dagger on her right hand, she looked at them with tear-filled eyes. "I’m sorry," she shook her head. "Someone has to share my pain for me to feel better".

Her face contorted. "It is your fault for looking attractive!" She accused.

"You should have been born ugly!"

"You seduced my husband!"

"You should have refused to give him a blowjob even if it cost you your life, that’s your mistake and you have to pay for it with your life".

The slave broke down in tears immediately. "Please ma... please...!"

"As for you," she walked closer to the other girl first, "you should have stopped her".

She stabbed the dagger at her neck.

Bam... Bam...

10 stabs, 2 deaths.

As she left the bathroom and the slave quarters, returning to her own room, she dialed Dante’s number.

Click!

The Baron answered.

"Dante," she said in a shaky voice. "Request for 2 more slaves," she said, then she hesitated slightly and added. "And please come to my room, I’m horny".

"Yes madam". Dante replied calmly and cut the call.

...

A few minutes later...

[07:43am]

The Earl finally came out with his entourage to face the public and immediately, a media storm started as the sound of camera shutters reverberated incessantly from the reporters waiting for him at his mansion’s gate.

Click... click... click...

The reception he got was not unusual.

Afterall, Honorable Earl Joe Curry was out, the philanthropist who donated 800,000 Neo Credits to an orphanage just a week ago, the Earl who always fought against oppression, the noblest of nobles.

"Earl Joe, is it true that you’re going to meet Duke Olmer?"

"Earl Joe, is it true...?"

"Earl Joe, is it true...?"

"Earl Joe, did you...?"

"Earl Joe, will you donate to another orphanage soon?"

Earl Joe waved at the reporters with a smile. "I do intend to donate another package to another orphanage home soon, the world is filled with so many people suffering and we need more empathetic people like me to help".

"And yes, I’m going to meet Duke Olmer for a business meeting".

He waved, then he left with his entourage.

Click... click... click...

Camera shutters followed him till he left the mansion finally.
