Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 440: Searching for an operation base. Yasenia's offer.

After they finished eating, they gathered the harpies, intending to explain the objectives for the day.

Later everything would be slowly planned.

In the meantime, Yasenia decided to do a short meeting each morning to clarify doubts, point out mistakes, and give ideas of what to work on.

The conversation started with all of Yasenia's dears pointing out some things they wanted to change and stating what they needed regarding tools and budget.

It lasted about half an hour, and Yasenia wrote down everything.

Nothing too important was discussed, so Yasenia changed the subject to her main objective.

The dragoness looked around and commented. "Well, with this out of the way. Let's speak about our most essential need."

They all paid attention, and Yasenia asked. "Do any of you know a terrain in sale we can buy to build or buy an apartment for at least a thousand people? It would be best to have at least 100 accommodations for giant races."

Ghana stepped forward and spoke. "There were various of them in Koran City. However, I need the Matriarch to be more specific."

Yasenia nodded and stated. "Our main trades will be Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Tailoring, and Formations. The other trades are more complementary, but it would be best to have rooms for all the professions."

"Naturally, a barracks or a similar structure for our combatants and a living space for future members or to create more buildings would be an advantage."

"If the buildings have outer to inner sections to separate more senior or important clan members would also help, but we can rebuild it if it isn't that way."

Yasenia continued to list the requirements she had in her head for a short while, and all harpies attentively listened.

After Yasenia listed her ideas, she waited to receive an answer. Ghana was the first to speak since she had managed the city for many decades and knew Koran City like the palm of her hand.

"There are three of them you would like. However, they are not cheap."

Another harpy nodded. "Matriarch, I know which places Sister Ghana is talking about. One of them is the most suitable for a multipurpose base."

Yasenia saw that the one who spoke was one of the seven assassins and smirked. "Hoh~, What do you know?"

The harpy nodded and reported faithfully. "That place was recently put on sale by an ancient family because they had no choice but to sell it after offending a Nine Sect in hopes of finding something to defend themselves."

Yasenia nodded. "Continue."

The harpy smiled and spoke. "The price is very high for a third- or second-rate power. But the actual value at which they are selling it is eighty percent cheaper than it should be. Not to mention, they are still mid-fight and very eager to sell the place."

Yasenia looked at the harpy and asked with a smile. "Anything more?"

The harpy nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, Matriarch. I brought it up after considering your previous confidence and fearlessness of the Nine Sects. Since buying that place that belonged to an enemy of the Nine Sects may antagonize you with them, retaliation can't be placed out of the picture."

The harpy continued. "If it weren't for this, the place would've been sold almost instantly."

Kali was curious and asked. "Which Nine Sect did they offend?"

The red-feathered harpy said. "They offended the [Nine Pure Melody Sect], Lady Kali."

A loud exclamation came from all of them. "We understand, Matriarch!"

Yasenia nodded and turned toward Tatyana. Then, she whispered and took out an item from her ring. "Be careful, Mom. Here, a teleportation life-saving treasure, just in case."

Tatyana didn't refuse and took the talisman, saving it in her own spatial ring. This spatial ring had been forged by her hand, and it was very spacious. "Don't worry, little treasure. I don't want to be separated from you, so I'll ensure keeping myself safe and sound."

Yasenia smiled and wanted to hug and kiss her, but she had an image to maintain.

Therefore, she bid Tatyana farewell with a pat on her head, making Tatyana laugh.

After Tatyana left, Yasenia turned and continued giving orders for the day.

First, she looked at the seven assassins. "You seven, take a chance to sneak out and communicate with your respective powers. Also, send news that I've discovered about the other three and kill them easily. Be sure to inform me about their answers."

The seven harpies nodded in recognition.

Yasenia turned toward the others and said to all of them. "Go with your assigned leader and continue learning. Once we move to the bigger house, we'll sort all of you into different levels depending on your talent and build a proper place to train and do professions. Now it is time to know each other."

"Yes, Matriarch!"

Yasenia nodded and moved to the side with her group. During these first few days, Yasenia wanted to increase familiarity instead of going directly to work and expand.

They all sat in one of the rooms of the large mansion.

After sitting with them, she spoke to the sex workers first. "I've already asked, but you may have changed your mind after a night of sleep. Do you want to keep working in the sex trade? Or do you want to try other things?"

Yasenia continued. "Right now, none of you are old enough to say you can't try other things. Some of you are very young, after all. Of course, I'm not forcing you, and if you want to continue, I have nothing against it."

The twenty-five women looked at each other. One of the oldest, a beautiful lady with a mature body, spoke. "Matriarch, we are willing to continue working. We like the pleasures of this trade, and we also think we can benefit the clan."

Yasenia lifted an eyebrow and leaned back in her chair. "And how would that be? Do you want to open a brothel under my name?"

The harpy chuckled and shook her head. "Well, you may already know it, but our race has a high sexual drive. We like mating as much as other races, like strengthening their bodies. Therefore, we can work as an inside Brothel to relieve our sisters' stress. Believe it or not, a brothel made of harpies is usually visited the most by harpies."

The others in the room laughed, and one joked. "Well, who better to bring us to climax than one of our sisters?"

Another rolled her eyes. "Girls, we are in front of the Matriarch. Restrain yourselves a bit."

Yasenia chuckled and reassured them. "Don't worry. Unless you step on my bottom line, I won't be angry. I suppose you've read the small guidebook, right?"

They all nodded and relaxed. One of the youngest smiled shyly and commented. "Matriarch, you are much more lenient than we thought. Thank you for this opportunity and understanding toward our race."

The others also smiled gently. Yasenia waved her hand. "Isn't it too early to become emotional? We've only been together for a day! After a year of working for me, you can tell me the same if everything keeps being of your liking."

Yasenia turned toward the mature harpy and commented with a smile. "Now, the internal brothel is a good idea. However, you must have other objectives, right? How about telling them to me?"

The mature harpy fidgeted and commented. "Well, if we can one day become the Matriarch relievers, we would be happy. However, even if that is one of our goals, the main one is to eventually become the Matriarch's maids. Serving diligently to help you keep everything in check inside the house would be ideal."

Yasenia expected something like this and got thoughtful. 'A group of maids. What should I do?'
