Chapter 74: The Queen’s Aphrodisiac

Valentina looked out at the city from her floor-to-ceiling windows. She was in Veridia, a small town located a few hours away from Mount Pleasure. It was once a tech hub. This was the place her father chose to build their empire.

Well, in her mind, it was her empire. Her father helped her build it. But she knew he would sell her in a heartbeat if it meant making the empire he created larger. This was one of the reasons she never told her father about the system.

She needed her own safety net.

She made sure to keep her own people. The resources she had were kept on her person. The system ensured her everything she wanted. As long as she had enough Lust Essence to buy it.

The sound of skin slapping echoed in the room. This was a normal occurrence. Ever since she had the system, she would have a few people around her that she could use to farm Lust Essence (LE). She came to the realization that she herself didn’t need to have sex to get LE. Since then, unless it suits her, she doesn’t get involved.

She couldn’t say the same about Mark. The man had stamina that could go on for days. He was the one in the room, fucking some random woman from their base.

She thought about how he travelled with her for so long. He must have noticed her peculiarities, yet he said nothing. The day when they tried to leave City D with their entourage and were ambushed was a day she would never forget.

She decided then that loyalty was not security.

According to the system, there was a way to turn people into mindless fucking machines. This way, she could always have people to give her LE. She didn’t need to worry about finding people. She would only need a few trusted people to take care of running the base. Everyone else was only there to feed it.

Turning away from the window, what came into view was a naked man and woman. The woman’s legs were on the man’s shoulder as he thrust inside her. Valentina only took a glance before pulling up the system interface.

The interface was black and crimson.

[Query: Absolute loyalty]

[True loyalty is not given; it is taken. The body must be remolded, the senses rewired.]

An item appeared on the screen. It cost a lot of LE, but she had some to spare. All she needed to do was offer a little food, and people would take it without question. She could also add it to their water supply.

It was an engineered aphrodisiac. It doesn’t just increase arousal; it rewires the brain’s pleasure centers. It makes it impossible to achieve true sexual release without Valentina’s pheromones.

The more they inhale her pheromones, the more they want to have sex. The more they have sex, the more LE she gets.

A smile spread across Valentina’s face. She thought to herself that she would become the very air they breathe. They would not be able to live without her.

Her plan would start with the refugees nearby. There is a small group of people who are living close by. She would take advantage of their lack of resources and “help” them.

She smiled as she made her way over to Mark and the woman. She was now on all fours, and Mark was railing her from behind.

“Having fun?” Valentina asked.

Mark grunted while slamming into the woman’s pussy.

“I need you to do me a favour,” she said.

“What kind of favour?” Mark asked.

“The kind you like. I need to send something over to Haven. I’ll wait until you’re done with this,” she said, waving her hand dismissively.

“You could join, you know.”

The woman paid no heed to any of them, lost in her own pleasure. This was not the first time something like this has happened. She learned quickly to ignore their comments. She came when she needed and left when she was no longer useful.

“I could,” Valentina said, watching the woman with interest. “But not this time. I have some things I need to do.”

She walked out of the room. Before she exited, she yelled, “Tell me when you’re clean. Maybe I have some use for you after.”

She made her way to her parents’ room. Although she still intended to do what she wanted, she needed their input. She would not explicitly tell them about the system. She would only give clues.

She didn’t bother knocking. She could hear the panting from outside. Ever since she gave her parents some of the products from the system, they have been acting like rabbits.

“We need to talk,” she said, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Her mother was on top of her father, having the time of her life.

“What?” her father asked, irritated. “Your mother and I are a little busy if you haven’t noticed.”

His hands gripped his wife’s waist, slamming her down on his cock.

“Can’t wait. I need a team of people to go to Haven to poison their water supply.”

Her father’s strokes faltered when he heard what she said, but he didn’t stop.

“Are you crazy? Why are you trying to poison people?” He switched position. Now he was on top, gripping his wife’s hair.

“Well, I don’t need to poison anyone. I just thought it would get you to stop.” She took a glance. “Obviously, I was wrong.”

“I still need the team, though. I’m running an experiment. If it works. You’ll have a bunch of people working for you without question.”

“Take Viktor,” her father grunted.

“I need a team,” she said flatly.

“Then bring Viktor and his team. That’s what I’m saying.”

“Tina, honey,” her mother breathed. “You’re disturbing our alone time. Just take whatever you want and leave.”

Getting his approval, she walked out of the room, not looking back in the slightest.
