Inside a cosy office in the centre of S-City, a beautiful blonde was talking to one of her clients on the phone while typing into herputer various details, expected growth and research documents and charts for apany called Burban Tech.


    This client wanted investments in order toplete their newest product, an item created for the SSS and Police force.


    ''It seems investing and using the materials found in the north have paid off.'' The blonde''s red eyes flickered with a powerful trail of crimson light as she moved her head, turning to the various monitors on her massive, ck Oakwood desk.


    Her lips, coloured in a matching blood-red lipstick, twisted upwards into a faint smirk of victory as, one by one, thepany''s stock rose by fifteen per cent. ''Very well, Mr Jenkins, we shall fund your little endeavour.''


    "Mr Jenkins, I will make sure to consider your proposition of additional funding and support. There was a positive response from the Scarlet and Fenrir groups so funding shall be avable shortly. I will have ourwyers mail the documents and arrange for a meeting between the representatives of bothpanies.


    ''Well... the supply of the special material is from a Scarlet group subsidiarypany anyway. Is it so they know the weakness of the SSS''s new uniforms and armour?''


    An overly excited response came back from the other side of the phone, but Sarah''s face only showed a prude, sly smirk as if everything was within her grasp. ''I hope Master will not be angry. I used his name and connections toplete this deal...''


    She ended her phone call and returned to looking at the list of newpanies she had received from one of her subordinates that afternoon. While her silky hair tied in a ponytail swayed in the gentle breeze from the fifth-floor window, there was a soft knock at the door.


    "Miss Maddison, may I enter?" A gentle and lovely voice sounded, causing Sarah''s face to rx ever so slightly. She knew the person on the other side of the heavy wooden double doors, painted ck with two red circles drawn elegantly upon it.


    "Enter, ire." Her lips curved up gently as a pair of dark purple eyes met her bloody-red orbs. ire walked slowly towards a seat positioned next to Sarah''s desk.


    "How can I help you today, ire?"


    "Ah... Boss?" The younger-looking female, with shoulder-length silver hair and white skin devoid of all imperfections, sat down daintily.


    She brushed away a single strand of silver hair and looked at Sarah with interest. Her hand held several documents and brown envelopes, likely offers from the fewpanies wishing to deal with their small upstart business.


    ''If it weren''t for the help of those two groups, we''d still be fumbling in the lowest possible rung of this sector...'' Sarah thought while observing ire with narrowed eyes—ever since bing a monster, her senses became stronger, and she felt strange. Because of her transformation Niki began to tell her countless secrets and details about how she changed.


    ''Well the biggest shock was that I can use a strange form of foresight with the stock market and investments. Though it''s not perfect, somehow, I just know what will do well and what is dangerous instinctively. Though that''s not the only thing...''


    She remembered everything Niki told her as if a gospel. This power was a special ability known as blood art, which she inherited from his mother''s bloodline.


    "Well, give me your report, little ire." A lower voice, the strange aura of a queen radiating from Sarah''s body; despite being young, the changes in her body and mind seemed to have helped in conquering her inferiorityplex and doubts.


    "Boss, the return on the investment of Burban Tech is up 2% after a 5% weekly rise. It seems the advertisement and development of their new product seems to have started working. Just like you said, it would."ire nodded gently and pushed forward a set of papers to prove such information, showing Burban Tech''s recent surge in ie.


    "Oh, I see. So, my estimation was a bit off. Never mind. What matters is that I am right, and our client base grows because of this, so..." Sarah sighed. Acklustre look was on her face.


    "It has been two weeks since thest time we met..." Sarah blushed while thinking of something, but her aura became tight and terrifying.


    The aura was cold and filled with bloodlust, yet ire remained still and didn''t seem affected. "Did he say when we shall meet again?" She whispered, her words echoing through the room despite being spoken in such a low voice.


    The powers, money, and trust he gave Sarah felt too heavy when she thought that night was herst. Niki gave her an alternative path.


    Although it might have been daunting at first, now she felt a sense of freedom and peace. No, rather, she felt her life became fulfilling.


    After no longer needing to live paycheck to paycheck, she wore a beautiful suit and could soon afford a nice car for private usage, while her business car was the same one as Niki''s. An Excelsior M9.


    "Boss?" ire tilted her head, noticing Sarah whispering to herself while sometimes disying a radiant smile or frustrated pout, but she wouldn''t speak out because ire was a special subordinate of Sarah. No, all the ten employees of hers were special. "Is Master going to being soon?"


    "Ah, are you also anxious, ire?" Sarah chuckled and responded with a sensual voice before nodding and looking at the pile of papers before her. Her eyes glowed red once more as her lips parted to show two small, delicate-looking fangs.


    "You''ll have a chance soon enough. Remember that the Master wishes for us to remain undercover and for his identity to remain hidden."


    "Y-Yes, Boss!" The younger female jumped on her seat and stood up straight, blushing fiercely and bowing deeply. "Master is responsible for saving us from that hellish life. We cannot burden him!" Sarah smiled and yed with her nails with her free hand as ire sat back down.


    "Very good; remember to tell the other girls once I get the notice we will have a ''Company Dinner'', but make sure those without his blessing celebrate it elsewhere.


    I''ll let you use my card when it''s confirmed." As Sarah spoke, her eyes drifted towards one of herrge monitors as it flicked rapidly from side to side, making it almost impossible for anyone except for her to follow the ever-changing numbers.


    But suddenly, a wide-eyed look crossed her face as if seeing something special. "Oh, it seems I have found our next project..." Her whisper caused ire''s eyes to shine as she smiled brightly.


    "As expected of the Boss!"


    "You speak like an old-fashioned gangster. Just call me Sarah since under the master''s gaze, we are both but his arms and legs." A coldness shed across Sarah''s red eyes, the scarlet light within shing as her vampiric powers reacted, activating her minor Blood Art: Precognition.


    "Anyway... here." From her pocket, she withdrew a white, metallic tablet-like device connected with a cable to a USB slot. "Inside this is the various ns and small deals for the next month. Use this to keep the normal employees busy, while our sisters can help with the N-ss documents in the locked folder named MASTER."


    ire took the USB stick slowly and nodded in silence before standing up. As if hesitating, she stopped mid-rise and turned towards Sarah while biting her lips. "S-Sarah..." Her hesitation made her stutter and stumble on her words.


    "I-I have...a request...from everyone in the office... C-Could w-we spend some more time with M-Master?" The blush on the silver-haired, purple-eyed young woman covered most of her pale and spotless skin. It was a simple reaction born of a long-held lust within every woman who called Sarah their boss.


    For a moment the room became cold, as if they suddenly transferred to a frozennd void of the sun, with a silver light shimmering in the eyes of Sarah. "ire, ensure you tell everyone that they must never be greedy."


    ''If it was so easy to meet him, would I struggle so hard just to get his input on anything?!'' Sarah could onlyin in her mind, although she wanted to make the business hers. Once it started, Niki waspletely hands-off only led to a strange frustration, and now that became a drive...


    Sarah did not n to create a business empire, all for Niki. Whether he wanted it, that didn''t matter. She used her authority to bring girls from the slums, or abusive households, those on the veryst thread, before taking their lives and begging Niki to make them into thralls.


    ire was one of those victims, beaten daily and threatened with violence if she tried to do anything against her father.


    Then, one day, his debtors came to try and take her away to be a cheap prostitute to pay off her father''s debt. ''This girl... well she is beautiful, but to think that I didn''t feel sorry for her but felt rather, she was ''perfect'' for what I wanted.


    "I know, but... he''s so..."


    "I understand. I''ll ask if Master is willing to attend the nextpany dinner, okay?" With a sigh, the room became normal, with Sarah''s eyes looking tired while leaning heavily on her chair. She rubbed her temple. ''I wonder, is it because of this transformation that my personality has changed?''


    "R-Really?! Yay!" ire looked over the moon and started humming,


    ''Well, it could be the same for this little girl, who seemed like a rabbit in the past, but after Niki turned her, she became different, training at an MMA gym, learning how to fight and use weapons, as well as working at the office...''


    Sarah felt ire was specialpared to the other thralls. Not only did she organise them and begin training them at one of the Fenrir group martial arts gyms for non-humans, but they followed her like a de facto leader. ''I should make a full report for Master; she might be suitable in the future after proving her worth.''


    "If you are finished, maybe you should return. Those girls are quite aggressive and like to make trouble with the normal workers."


    It was at that moment ire showed her dark side with a twisted smile. The werewolf features of her blood were clear as her silver hair covered her face. "Ah... those inferior vermin. Why should I care if they suffer... It will teach them to mess with their superiors..."


    That chilling tone reminded Sarah that her subordinates were no longer human nor had their old morals remained unchanged. ire took all the suffering she received and became a true hunting dog just for Niki.


    "Wolves do love to torment the weak before eating them—no wonder those foxes dislike ying with you..." Sarah''s sharp tongue showed that while being a squire, her personality only changed a little. "Just remember the only blood you can have is his. Do not kill any humans, or master will kill you."


    "I know~ Squire Sarah. He already helped set me free and kill my piece of shit father, after all." Without holding back any longer, a ghastly silver light radiated from within the depths of her dark purple eyes.


    "That''s why... that''s why I am different from those insects!"


    ''Because he chose me~ fufu.'' ire''s thoughts were filled with dark scenes and memories, yet the only positive one was of the silver-haired prince who saved her.


    Now, an almost obsessive servitude formed; even though Niki just wanted some cheapbour, he became a dedicated zealot.
