RISE OF EROS

Upon returning to Cannes Palace, Andrew told everything that had happened with Ayla in the Demon Realm to his wives who had already gotten up and were just having breakfast with the children.

They all immediately concluded the same thing as Andrew and Oliver. The hooded men who attacked the harpies must have been members of Purgatory. In fact, Candice's ability was activated upon hearing what Andrew said.

Her ability is one of the most powerful among all the abilities his wives had received, but it activates without regard to their will. It can be a random event or a simple conversation like this that activates it.

Also, she is quite vague in the things she shows. The ability activated and showed Candice that these hooded men were active in many places and that it could bring them trouble. Unfortunately, she didn't tell them anything else. It honestly left them with more questions than answers, but the mere fact that the ability was activated was cause for concern.

They knew that it only activated when there was an event that related to them, so the hooded men were their problem. This strengthened Andrew's idea to tell Zaros and ask him to investigate.

Without wasting any time, Andrew took a carriage and traveled to the Pixoy family mansion. As usual, they already knew he was coming, so the guards did not stop him.

Lucian had already returned from the Demon Realm, so he was the one who greeted them at the entrance of the mansion. While Andrew could teleport, Lucian and the liquid spirits sent by Elidyr to protect him on his trip to the Demon Realm did not approach him to return.

They took the opportunity to tour the Demon Realm and assess the situation there after the remains of the fallen god were removed, so they returned on their own.@@novelbin@@

Fortunately, with their power, returning was not difficult and did not take long either. Andrew took advantage of the meeting to thank Lucian for the care he had given him during that trip, but Lucian just dismissed the efforts and didn't think much of it.

After the short talk, Lucian led them to Zaros's office. There they found the ancient vampire drinking a glass of wine, which surprised Andrew, as it was still too early to be drinking alcohol.

Still, he didn't say anything and respectfully greeted Zaros. Zaros returned the greeting kindly and invited him to sit down. Andrew opened the conversation by thanking him for sending Lucian to protect him on his trip to the demon realm.

He may not have gone directly, but he was the one who arranged everything, so it was only fair to thank him. Like Lucian, he dismissed the thanks, saying it was what had to be done.

After a few more words of greetings and normal conversation, Andrew began to explain what had happened. Andrew told him how the succubi had found Ayla and also about the little harpy's account of what had happened.

Zaros listened attentively, but was calm, as if he didn't give much importance to the matter. It is true that Andrew's concerns were valid, but Zaros didn't seem too worried about them. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

It wasn't until Andrew explained to him about Candice's ability and how it was activated by telling him what had happened, that his look became serious. He knew a little about the abilities that those close to a candidate or god could receive.

He knew that they were anything but normal and Candice's ability was special. These types of abilities were rare, but not nonexistent, so Zaros could understand them since he had known individuals with similar abilities.

Despite that, knowing Candice's ability was even more serious since it was the consequence or an extension of Andrew's existence, that is, a candidate for god, so that ability was even more peculiar than the ones he knew.

"Indeed, it is a matter to be investigated," Zaros said after hearing everything Andrew had to say. Andrew nodded and added, "Yes. I already have my associates investigating, but my resources are limited."

"Don't worry, I will spread the word about this matter, so we can better know what we are dealing with," Zaros said and after discussing some additional matters, Andrew returned to Cannes Palace.

Upon returning, Andrew did not rest. He had to deal with Ayla's potential outbreak of fever, so he had to choose the men he would send to the Heavenly Palace in the Demon Realm. Andrew could easily send some courtiers from Dunnas Palace, but that was not a good long-term measure. He needed those courtiers to continue generating money.

Also, even though he had told Seraphine to keep her sisters in line, Andrew knew that was impossible. Even if succubi didn't actively seek out men, men would seek them out.

That's how irresistible they are, and if you add to that the fact that they will be living with them 24/7, it is even more illogical to think that men would resist. The sensuality and flirtatiousness of succubi is something natural, so it's hard to resist, especially if you are a normal person.

Resisting is almost impossible unless you're strong enough or have a strange ability. So, Andrew came up with a pretty smart idea.

He had a lot of slaves. Most of the slaves were in charge of protecting the Celestial Palaces, although they weren't really necessary, since Andrew controlled everything, but he couldn't expose himself, so he had guards.

Although they were treated with respect and dignity, they were still slaves and didn't have certain privileges that normal employees had. So, Andrew decided that he would reward them.

The deal was simple. Slaves who behaved excellently and performed their duties seriously would be sent to the Heavenly Palace in the Demon Realm.

Andrew would gather a small group of about 10 slaves and send them to the Succubus Palace for two days and leave them there, before replacing them with another group. This way, even if the succubi squeezed them dry, another group would come every other day, so if Ayla got hot, there would be someone available.

While going to the Succubus Palace didn't guarantee them having sex with one of them, it didn't change the fact that they were more likely to than not.

Now think about it. If despite being slaves, they were treated well, the work was easy, and they were also allowed to have sex with beauties like the succubi, wouldn't they be even more motivated?

When Andrew proposed the plan, everyone was shocked and Gaston being the most experienced in business and personnel management immediately gave his approval.

While slaves working for them have never been a problem if they only dedicate themselves to work, they will have a limit, so he immediately saw the advantages of Andrew's proposal.

With that decided, Andrew sent Oliver to inform them. Andrew went further and included Shadow agents who wanted to go. These agents are always in the shadows, but they are important, so it was only fair that they receive this benefit.
