ke had been looking for someone with expertise in the government. And from how this man had been trying to keep his small group alive all this time, ke knew he was trustworthy. Although it wouldn''t matter when it came to a contract anyway, but it was good to know a person''s character from the start.


    "Umm… May I know how you knew so much about this world before it was changed?" Josh asked, he was very curious about this.


    "Ah… I used to be human." ke replied honestly.


    "What!?" nce, who was sitting nearby, looked at ke in surprise. To once be human and look like this was not unheard of, but the power he has is not that of what a new age human should have!


    "nce, quiet down." ke looked over at the dragonic girl. He knew she would act like this, but it was toote for her now.


    But nce was at a loss for a second before she suddenly startedughing out loud. "Hahaha! Master, you are really something. I heard that my little sister protected a human man and was assisted by the elven princess in pushing back two dragonics. I never thought that person was you…. My eyes have been opened, and I can say I have good eyes."


    ke felt a shiver run down his spine as he turned and looked at nce, whose eyes were filled with passion and held his head. Mina flew over and sat on his shoulder and grumbled: "Princess Picker!"


    "Haha!" Josh could help butugh. He found this quite amusing. It seemed this man who used to be human had a way with women. "I am d it was you and your people we ran into."


    "Don''t think too much about it. My current race is something of an oddity and has a very powerful charm effect. Just think of it as me causing problems unwillingly." ke exined lightly.


    "It doesn''t matter how it starts it is how you end it that matters." Josh gave a knowing wink to ke with a big grin. He was nervous at first but seeing how down-to-earth ke was and how he interacted with the people around him. Josh felt he could be at ease which allowed his normal personality toe out. He was always a wise ass and liked to joke around, so ke''s personality really meshed well with his own.


    "Don''t give him any ideas! He has so many wives as it is, and the group will only grow bigger! He just added a new one the other day as well!" Mina snorted, but her words caught the attention of many of the men there.


    "Wives!?" Josh asked curiously.


    "Yes, wives. It is not that I am pushing this concept, but the way humans are now on the verge of extinction, the age of women being able to marry is reduced by a few years in mymunity, and the ability to have multiple wives is also possible. Humans are no longer at the point where we can keep things at the old status quo. It will take time for many people to adjust to this fact, but this is just how it is. Humans are no longer at the top of the food chain, and we need to rebuild our race''s poption. But nothing is allowed to be done against a person''s will. This is also a reason why contracts exist in mymunity. But seeing is believing." ke replied with a smile and handed a thick chunk of meat to Josh.


    Josh nodded and took a bite out of the wyvern meat in his hands. The sensation of meat juices in his mouth after not eating for so long made his taste buds hurt.


    nce looked at ke with pursed lips. She wondered just what she had to do to make this man look her way. She had already be his ve willingly. Even if she wished to break the ve contract, she couldn''t without his permission, and because she used a full subordination contract, she was unable to force him into doing anything! She wished she had made a use where he would need to fall for her…. But as they say, those who fall first have it the hardest.


    Princess Josline, on the other hand, felt a little hope for herself. If ke was taking in wives, she just might end up joining the list. But she had to get ke to notice her more as well. She only seemed to be in the friend zone at this time. She needed to get past this hurdle, but sadly she did not know much about how to make herself more known to men.


    With many thoughts running around, ke and his group sessfully made it back to the base. At least ke thought it was his base. He stood about half a mile away and looked at the massive towering wall that towered up into the sky that was made out of metal and also covered in a strong barrier in confusion. "Uh…. Mina….. Was our base wall always this tall?"


    "No….. I suspect Sister Lillia had done this." Mina replied.


    "I see….. Well… Let''s find the next entrance." ke led the group around the wall until he came to the entrance. But as soon as he appeared, a figure dropped down in front of him and began swearing.


    "What the fuck!" Bret yelled out. He looked at the fox girl on ke''s back, smiling away as she nuzzled into his neck. The dragonic girl who was standing at this side on the other side of Mona and the dwarf girl who was on ke''s other side smiling happily as well. "You leave for a short time, and you are already bringing home more!? Brother, can''t you give me a break!?"


    ke looked at Bret and chuckled. "It''s not my fault."


    "Yes, it is!" Mina snorted.


    "Okay, maybe a little, but still. That is besides the point. Bret, exin to me what the hell is going on?" ke finally asked as he looked at the new massive gate.


    "Ah… right… Your wife decided to expand the base a mile out. The outposts have also been moved another mile out. Well, juste in and take a look." Bret exined lightly before turning to have at the people up top. "By the way. We have many more people now as well. A few groups of humans showed up."


    "Alright, well, we got more to add as well. Foxkin, dwarfs, and humans." ke answered as he walked into to see a small town in the process of springing up. Such a sight made him smile. The trees had been cleared out and were all stacked off in the distance. It seemed a lumber mill was being built to process them. Things had begun to move quite quickly since he had been gone.


    "This is much more than I ever expected." ke''s lips curled up into a smile. He was very satisfied.


    "It was much smaller, but a short while ago, the other humans showed up. After the contract, they all decided to begin work on a town, saying they wished to live outside, and well now, as you can see, it is well underway." Bret exined.


    "It truly is nice seeing so much progre…." ke''s words were interrupted as he felt a figure rushing towards him at a high speed. He thought they were aiming for him, but when he saw a shift in the path, he knew right away that they were aiming for nce."


    ke disappeared and reappeared in front of nce as a small fist appeared in front of him, stopping just short of his chest. "Why did you stop me!?"


    "Faana….." ke saw the aggrieved look on Faana''s face and raised his hand, and gently patted her head. "There is a time and ce for everything. I just returned. You can deal with her in a little bit."


    "But…." Faana looked at nce with eyes filled with Killing intent as she hugged ke''s arm. ke was hers!


    "Let''s go in first, and then we will bring nce to the training grounds. All the heartache and anguish you suffered…. Let it all out at that time." ke gently stroked the top of Faana''s head, causing her to nod slowly. But she still refused to let go of ke.


    "ke!" A voice came from above. This voice caused everyone to look up and nce to suddenly copsed to the ground.


    "Ath-Ather dragon!?" nce began to shiver. An ather dragon was beyond her expectations. Her whole body began to shiver as it instantly became soaked in sweat. It was as if a bucket of cold water had just been dumped on her.


    "Oh? Another dragonic princess?" Lillia asked with a frown.


    "She is under a submission ve contract she implemented herself. So she is of no harm as of now. The normal contract wille in when Faana and her talk it out." ke did not want the normal contract being put on nce just yet. Otherwise, Faana could not beat her up as she pleased.


    "Mmm… She won''t be able to break a ve contract on her own. So this works. But she will need a special contract for her just as Faana did." Lillia still did not wish to take risks.


    "That''s fine. Lillia, I must say…. You have outdone yourself this time…." ke looked at the new base setup and was very happy.


    "Hehe… I knew you would like it."


    "Papa!" Another figure came out of nowhere and jumped into ke''s arms, pushing everyone out of the way. No one dared to stop her as she was one of the little princesses.


    "Destiny!" ke smiled and hugged his daughter. Not longter, Noa, Tina, and the other girls showed up. Tina had Hope in her arms as she walked over with a big smile. "It''s about time you returned."


    "Papa!" Hope suddenly yelled out while reaching her arms out toward ke. ke smiled and took Hope from Tina. Both his kids were growing up so quickly. "My baby girl has be chunky!"


    "ke!" Tina yelled out. "Don''t say that about your daughter!"


    "But I am telling the truth look at her big chubby cheeks!" ke teased as he kissed Hope on the cheeks causing her to giggle.


    "No, fair me too! Me too!" Destiny was feeling left out. ke chuckled and leaned down and kissed her cheeks as well, causing her to giggle.


    As for nce, who was having a heart attack seeing a young Ather dragon calling ke papa was already enough for her to faint. One was already hard to imagine, but now a second one had shown up. nce was starting to think she truly made the right choice to submit to ke! Or else her future would be bleak if her kind decided to attack ke and his people!


    Not caring for the drowned rat of a dragon girl''s thoughts, ke waved his hand and said: "Alright, before you go any further, everyone needs to be put under contract. Lillia, if you would…."
