Chương 425: Chapter 426: Aphrodite's shoot begins

"She says that she is busy dealing with something right now and regrets that she can't bring it herself; however, she will have someone deliver us a throne shortly," Lorelie replied a few moments later after receiving a reply from Leiko.

"It doesn't take a genius to guess what she is dealing with," Aphrodite said with a smirk before standing up and adding, "I will go get ready, then, look forward to the show." After which, she sauntered away while making sure to give everyone a good look at her ass and tail.

"I guess I will go get changed too," Rowena stated before sauntering after Aphrodite in a way that made the others think she was competing with her.

"Those two," Lorelie said with a smirk before kissing Adam on the cheek and leaving to get changed herself. Adam shook his head with a smile of amusement when he suddenly noticed that Eri was staring at him.

"Something wrong?" He asked as he turned to her.

"No, nothing," Eri replied as she flushed slightly in embarrassment at being caught staring at him.

"Ok," Adam replied before changing the subject and saying, "Want to talk about what I had planned for Aphrodite's photoshoot?"

"Sure," Eri replied before moving closer to Adam as he pulled up the same holographic images he had shown Aphrodite earlier. [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): You plan to have Diva Aphrodite do something like this?] [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): I like it. 👍]"Yup. What do you think?" Adam asked as he saw Erkath's question. [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): I see now why you wanted the throne. You're trying to make her out to be dominant, right?]"Well, she is going to be modelling a dominatrix outfit, which is all about being the dominant one," Adam replied. [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): I see. Hmmmm, if she can pull off something of the same quality as these photos, then I don't see a problem in us using them.]"With her being a Succuba, and her natural instinct to make herself appear as sexually tempting as possible, I do not doubt that her photos will come out far better than these," Adam replied confidently.

[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): You seem awfully confident. 😏] [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Of course, my man is confident.] Adam didn't reply except to give a small smirk of his own. 💫💫💫"Report," Leiko snapped as soon as Chief Ryu entered her office, that she had been checking over moments prior.

"We have captured all seven members of the Noir Family that entered the building, including one that was stationed in the security office," Ryu replied professionally, though there was an obvious hint of shame and anger in his tone as he mentioned the Noir Family member that managed to infiltrate the security office.

"One managed to access the security office? How is that possible?" Leiko asked with a frown.

"They were a recent hire we made after one of our team members resigned recently. Our background check failed to find any mention that they were related to the Noir Family."

"Wasn't the fact that they are a Panthera a giant hint?" Leiko snapped.

"You know it's illegal to refuse employment to someone just because of their race, boss," Ryu replied professionally. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

"Whatever," Leiko snapped before asking, "Did you find out what they were after?"

"We found this one, the female that seems to have been their leader," Ryu replied before pulling the data drive labelled 'Financial Records for Universal Year 3236' from his pocket and handing it to Leiko, whose eyes narrowed as she took it.

"Have they said anything?" Leiko asked.

"Nothing of value. As is normal when dealing with the Noir Family, they refuse to speak about who hired them," Ryu replied before asking, "What do you want to do with them?"

"Just hand them over to the security services, we recovered what they were after," Leiko replied dismissively as if her mind was already on something else.

"Copy that," Ryu said before leaving the office. After Ryu left, Leiko went and sat down behind her desk, then used the console on her desk to make a holocall.

"You failed bitch, It looks like even the Noir Family couldn't help you prove your false accusations," Leiko said victoriously as Koki's appearance appeared on a holographic screen above the desk.

"What are you talking about, Leiko?" Koki asked in a tone that said she had no idea what the other was going on about.

"The Noir Family members you hired to try and steal this," Leiko replied as she held up the data drive before continuing, "We have captured them all."

"Noir Family members infiltrated Alpha Entertainment?" Koki asked in surprise before saying with a smirk, "It seems I'm not the only one out to get you since I never hired them."

"Oh, please," Lieko replied while rolling her eyes before adding, "You think I'm stupid? You said yourself in the past that you would get revenge on me."

"I did indeed say that, however, at the time I was angry at losing my company, "Koki replied before asking, "Besides, where would I get the credits to hire seven members of the Noir Family? I lost almost all my credits when Omega Entertainment collapsed. Now, if you don't mind, I have to get ready for work." Leiko was about to reply when Koki ended the holocall, causing the holographic screen to vanish.

"Running away because of your failure, huh? If you didn't hire them, how did you know there were seven Noir Family members bitch?" Leiko said as she smiled victoriously. 💫💫💫"Is here ok?" Adam asked as he moved the throne that had just been delivered by an Alpha Entertainment staff member into position.

"Yeah, looks good," Eri said after she stood back and critically judged the throne's position.

"It's not exactly like the one in the sample picture, which is to be expected, but this should do the job," Adam said as he inspected the throne himself.

"What do you think?" Aphrodite's voice suddenly asked from the doorway to the dressing room, making Adam and Eri turn and look over. Aphrodite stood in the doorway, resting her hand against the frame and staring at the two with a playful smirk while her tail flicked around behind her. She was wearing a full-body black dominatrix outfit that was made out of latex and black knee-length boots with stileto heels. She also wore her long pink hair in a pony-tail that flowed down her back.

Lorelie and Rowena could be seen standing behind Aphrodite and admiring her from the back since the latex dominatrix outfit hugged tightly to her body to emphasise not only the cleavage of her ample breasts but also the shape of her ass.

"Wow," Eri replied as she stared at Aphrodite. [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Damn, that's hot.] Adam smirked before looking at the holographic screen showing Erkath's surprised look before asking, "Not bad, right?" Erkath could be seen nodding in agreement before writing. [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): I have to admit that she looks fucking hot right now.]"And she's wearing an outfit that covers most of her. What do you think she would look like in one of the raunchier dominatrix outfits?" Adam replied.

"I like how the outfit emphasises her ass, I might have to get myself one," Rowena stated as she continued to inspect and admire Aphrodite's look.

"You don't need a dominatrix outfit to emphasise your ass. Any pair of tight trousers would do that job," Adam stated.

"Good point," Rowena replied before adding, "I guess I need to have a closer look at Earth clothing when I get the chance. Aphrodite walked towards the throne before sitting on it like an empress who was about to address her subjects and after crossing her legs in a sultry manner, she asked, "Shall we get started then?"

Adam turned to Eri and said, "Remember to take the photos from slightly below eye level; we want the people who look at the photo to feel as if they are being looked down upon by Diva Aphrodite as she decides what to do with them."

"Understood," Eri replied as she controlled the camera and started to take photos. Aphrodite, in the meantime, simply sat on the throne like an imposing empress as her eyes followed the movements of the camera.

"What do you think?" Lorelie asked Rowena as she moved up beside her.

"She's doing great, which is not surprising considering the concept we want from the photo," Rowena replied before continuing, "Since she needs to portray herself as a dominating woman, which she already has tons of experience doing, this job is easy for her. In the future, however, she may need some training if she is required to do a photoshoot on a subject she is not already experienced with."

"So you think her photos will be good enough to use?" Lorelie asked.

"We will have to wait and view the final product to make sure that Eri captured Aphrodite in the way we wanted, but judging by what I'm seeing now and how well Eri's photos of us turned out, I don't think there will be any problem and Erkath will definitely use them."
