Chapter 74: Setting sail

Mike felt the temperature of the room go down a few degrees when the old butler looked at him, but alas he was confident so he didn't let it show as he slowly sipped the tea a maid had served for him, the eyes of the maid showed slight disgust when she looked at Mike, no doubt it was his nonhuman features that peeved her, Elina and Rebecca picked up on this and was right about to teach this maid the greatness of their master through force when Mike raised his hand for a few seconds before he lowered it again and spoke

"It's alright… The fun comes later…"

Elina and Rebecca both gave a nod before they took a step back and folded their hands behind their backs, Mike glanced at the dear knight commander that had sat down across from him on a couch, she looked at him with a less fearful expression than before she even showed hints of a confident smile, she had thought about why Mike had kept her alive and came to the conclusion that it was because he had fallen for her charms, of course, she couldn't be further from the truth as Mike had only kept her alive for entertainment purposes…. But she didn't know that, so she was pretty sure Mike was going to ask her father for her hand in marriage, now prolonged fear and anxiety might have twisted her judgment a bit, clouded it even but she was sure

'Once I have him wrapped around my finger I will rule this island… As queen'

Gelleia glanced at the servants behind Mike before she asked

"Is that your preference Mike?"

"...What are you talking about?"

"Red hair"

Gelleia pointed to Elina and the others, they all had red hair, different shades of vermilion to be exact, Mike gave a shrug and didn't explain, Gelleia let her gaze wander and soon it landed on Snow and asked Mike

"How come that one doesn't have red hair then?"

Mike showed a slight smile

"She will in time…"

Mike went back to sipping his tea, meanwhile Snow's face lit up with joy, for her to be evolved was a great honor, Daisy patted her on the shoulder to congratulate her, meanwhile Mike and Gelleia both fell silent as Gelleia also began sipping her tea… Time passed and soon Mike looked up from his tea towards the door and showed a slight smile, about 30 seconds later a middle aged man opened the door and stepped through, he was wearing noble clothes and carried a dignified air around him although there was a slight frown on his face as his eyes saw Mike's horns, he walked over towards the couch and sat down next to his daughter Gelleia before he looked at Mike and spoke in a natural overbearing tone

"My name is Geralt, 23rd head of the great house of Gelvin"

Mike's smile widened slightly before he spoke

"I am Mike, a citizen of Threa"

Geralt gave a huff before he asked disdainfully

"So what has given a mere adventure the audacity of holding my daughter hostage?"

Mike gave a shrug before he asked equally disdainfully

"What has given a mere knight commander the audacity of threatening me with enslavement?"

Geralt narrowed his eyes slightly before he yelled

"Guards!"

Mike looked on indifferently as more than ten elite guards rushed into the room and surrounded him and his servants before he gave a sigh and mumbled

"...And here I wanted to keep the show going a little more… Oh well"

"Kill this---"

"Esteemed farther, please wait!"

Both Mike and Geralt gave a surprised look and looked over at Gelleia that was trembling slightly as she watched Elina and Rebecca with a fearful look

"Esteemed farther, those two are---"

Mike gave a sigh which made Gelleia stop speaking suddenly as he caressed the blade of the knife

"Come on now Gelleia, don't ruin the surprise… Or you might find yourself short on blood"

Gelleia shivered before she lowered her gaze fearfully, Geralt paused for a moment before he looked the servants behind Mike over once more trying to figure out what his daughter was prevented from speaking about, the interaction also cooled his head significantly so he asked in a calm tone

"What have you done to my daughter?"

"Well I simply cut her face but it's what I am able to do that's scaring her"

Geralt's head worked quickly before he muttered

"A skill?"

Mike clapped slowly, once, twice and a third time

"Looks like you are significantly smarter than your daughter"

Geralt gave a sigh before he raised three fingers and spoke

"If you remove your skill from my daughter I, no the great house of Gelvin will owe you three favors"

A cold light flashed in Mike's eyes before he shook his head, as if three favors was worth blood he had already claimed

"I don't see what you can offer me that I don't already have"

Geralt gave a sigh before he spoke decisively

"Gelleia, I am afraid that you are going to die in the upcoming conflict… Alas you are only a woman and would never have inherited the house of Gelvin so this is acceptable… As for you!"

Geralt looked over at Mike again

"You are going to pay a steep price for ignoring my offer!"

Mike gave a sigh before he spoke

"Elina, Rebecca… It's time, leave those two alive for now… I have plans for them"

""Yes master""

As the elite guards inched closer they suddenly stopped, just as Geralt was about to yell at them to kill this dirty nonhuman he felt it too, mana was swirling around the two servants that stood behind Mike, Mike himself showed a smile and asked

"Do you like my surprise?"

Blood drained from Geralt's face as he realized what was happening, he had felt the oppressive feeling before from the pervious overlord of the island: Kelvin the [Magic swordsman]

The elite guards quickly expired under Elina's and Rebecca's combined might, Geralt sat lifeless in the couch and so did Gelleia, after all her esteemed father had just calmly accepted her death, he had given her up without trying too hard to save her, Mike clapped his hands snapping the two out of their despair temporally as he repeated his question from earlier

"Now as I asked before, What has given a mere knight commander the audacity to threaten me with enslavement?"

Geralt's face lit up with mock anger before he slapped his daughter on the back of the head and forced her head down as he also lowered his head

"This idiot daughter of mine! I apologize from the bottom of my heart, I will be sure to educate her better!"

Mike gave a shrug as he spoke

"I don't care about that, I am more interested in how you are going to compensate me for my trauma"

In the end Mike killed everyone in the mansion, he took their blood as compensation before the group made their way down to the docks where Elina and Rebecca led the way to a grand ship that lay anchored at the docks. It looked like an ironclad from Mike's past life, Mike also noticed that the name on the side of the ship said 'Bloodhound' and gave a nod

'Yep, cringy as fuck… But I like it'

As soon as Elina and Rebecca stepped aboard the crew stopped what they were doing and bowed down to them, Elina stood proudly before she pointed to Mike

"From today you will treat our master as you treat us!"

Rebecca nodded and continued

"Any disrespect towards our master is disrespect towards us"

Mike gave a slight smile before he let out a yawn and patted Rebecca on the head as he asked her

"Rebecca, can you show me to my quarters?"

"Certainly master"

The people around watched with awe as Mike was lead by Rebecca below deck, they had heard that Elina and Rebecca weren't the top bosses in the family but now that they had seen their boss with their own eyes newfound respect swelled in their chests, after all a young man less than 30 could dominate two level 5's and a dozen level 4's that always spoke of him with respect, just as Mike was about to walk below deck he heard a yell come from all the people on the deck

"""""""Thank you for greeting us with your presence boss!!!"""""""

Mike's smile turned into a full one as he walked below deck after Rebecca, Elina that were still standing on the deck gave a nod, she was quite satisfied by the crews' show of loyalty and spoke up with a charming smile on her face

"Alright, prepare to set sail, I want to be back on Threa within the week!"

"""""""Aye!"""""""

The crew began working at once preparing the ship for setting sail towards Threa with renewed purpose, having been one of the first members of the Blood family to actually see their real master the crew were ecstatic and worked one and a half times as fast as they normally would have, so within the hour the ship Bloodhoud set sail towards Threa...
