Chapter 107: Slave House
"Why are they slaves?" He asked Sasha
"It depends. Most people get put into slavery because they cant pay off a debt. If they have a family member, they might sell them into slavery to pay the debt off, whether it was their mother, brother, uncle, or cousin."
"Seriously? Simply because they can't pay their debt?" Kai was baffled by this. Slavery was illegal in his old world, at least in most parts of it.
"Yeah, but that's not all. Sometimes, people get put into slavery because they made a bet and lost, had a duel and lost, some nobles have their house taken over, and the nobles who lost get thrown into slavery. Criminals also sometimes become slaves."
"Wow. Some of that I can agree with, like criminals. But the rest is a bit extreme if you ask me."
Sasha shrugged. "That's just the way of the world."
"True that."
'We found the house! Come quick!' Gwen yelled in Kai's head.
"They found the house, let's go." He grabbed Sasha's arm and teleported to Gwen's location.
There, he saw a massive mansion that Gwen and Amaya had picked out. It was exactly what Kai had wanted, and to his surprise, it was the best and most expensive mansion on the market.
What made things even better was that the mansion was way bigger than the one he bought in Ashenfall. The house had seventy rooms, with a guest house that had fifty rooms. It was a very, very, very, large house. Kai was even surprised that it was on sale.
Kai didn't even worry about the price; he just bought the place with the land and called it a day.
"So, now we're off to the guild to take on a quest, right?" Amaya asked, grinning as she walked with everyone.
"Actually, I want to check out the Slave Establishment," Kai told everyone.
"Whattt? Really? Boring." Amaya pouted, then climbed on Kai's back to pout even more.
"Why do you want to go there?" Gwen wondered.
"You don't know? It's common in stories to find someone of great importance there. It's a classic trope to find a beautiful woman who is actually strong as fuck, save them from some fat creep, and have them become the main character's companion."
They all looked at Kai like he was crazy.
"What kind of stories have you been reading?"
'The ones your world is based on.' He thought to himself.
"Alright, let's go then. I wonder what kind of slaves Kai will pick out."
"Me too."
"Can we pick out some slaves as well?" Amaya asked
"We'll see."
It didn't take long for them to find where the building the Slaves were being brought to, since Kai had seen them being transferred to the place.
The place was called the 'Slave House', and when they entered the establishment, it was surprisingly clean and pristine. In fact, this building was so great looking that someone wouldn't even know it was a slave house.
"How may I help you today?" A man asked.
"Yes, can I see what you have in stock?" Kai flinched as he spoke those words. It made him feel disgusting.
"Of course. May I know what you're looking for?" The man asked with a smile.
"Women with mana who know how to fight. Perferably around tier-5 and higher.
"Hmm. That might be a bit tough. You see, we usually sell regular people of no importance. We train them to be maids, sex slaves, servants, workers, farmers, and give them basic combat and mana lessons. We very rarely have pure combat slaves."
Kai placed a hand on his chin and thought about what to say next. "Is there a place I can purchase the type of slaves I'm looking for?"
"Of course, give me a second." The man went back to the front desk, grabbed a piece of paper, and handed it to Kai.
"This is the Slave Auction where high-value slaves are sold. You should find what you're looking for there. The time and place are on that slip of paper. There's one happening tonight."
"Sweet, thanks. Since I'm here, I'll take a look around this place to see if I find anything to my liking. I still want women aged 18 to 30 in human years. Adjust it for the other races. Health doesn't matter, and disabilities don't matter; you can show them to me as well. However, I want them to be beautiful." Kai placed a mental image of his beauty standards in the man's head.
"Very well. Please follow me."
The man led Kai to a large waiting room while he prepared the slaves Kai was saving for. After around twenty minutes of waiting, the man came back with exactly 30 slaves. There would have been more, but because of Kai's beauty standards, only 30 of them arrived.
All of them were extremely beautiful and had the bust and ass size he liked. They were lined up from smallest boobs to largest boobs, but even the woman with the smallest boobs had a size comparable to Amaya, who was not lacking in the slightest.
Some of them did have scars, disabilities, and sicknesses that couldn't able to be cured or treated, but that wasn't a problem for him.
"These are the women who matched your standards. Like you said, I picked from everyone regardless of their bodily condition." The man bowed.
"Sweet. I'll take them all." Kai waved his hand, and all of the women's sicknesses, diseases, or disability was instantly healed permanently.
"W-What? I can see?"
"My arm grew back!"
"My leg, it doesn't hurt."
"My scars are gone! My scars are gone!"
"My chest doesn't feel heavy anymore. I can breathe properly now."
"S-Sir?" The man asked
"Yeah?" Kai answered
"D-Did you do that?"
"Yup, I healed all of them."
When the women heard that, some of them broke down crying, thankful that Kai had healed them.
The man stared at Kai in shock. "Amazing."
"So, I plan on buying all of you. I recently bought a massive mansion, and I'm in need of maids. So, you all will be them. I'll even pay you for your work. Do any of you have a mother, sister, aunt, or female cousin who is here in this slave house?" Kai asked
Twenty women raised their hands to answer Kai's question.
"Go bring their family here," Kai said to the man.
A few minutes later, he came back with 30 women who were the relatives of Kai's new slaves. None of them were ugly, thankfully, but not all of them had his preferred body type, which didn't bother him.
He healed them as well, let them reunite with their family, then purchased them.
"That will be 1,000 gold for the 60 women. Here are their slave contracts that connect to the collar on their necks."
Kai gave the man an extra 500 gold as a tip. "Keep the change."
"Alright, girls, time to move into your new home."
