Okay. I like this comic less and less. For something named "The Inheritance", it's a bit sad to see the main character being so openly ungrateful to a dad who's giving him everything (money, a place, connections, a whole harem). Something his dad has built for decades. The MC just spends his time berating his dad, while cruising through his dad's harem and giving lip service to his concubines. His old man was a much more proactive person and a much more interesting character (smuggler, adventurer, traveller, ladies man), I'd much prefer a comic about him actually as the MC shows how despicable he is in each chapter.
I don't think I agree. Charles was a totally absent father, sending checks and nothing else. Stephen's resentment of that absence is well-earned-- and all evidence thus far reinforces the feeling that the Charles was a real piece of work. (Oh no. A manipulative mind controller? How could there be such a thing?) Could Stephen release some of the women eventually (and possibly repatriate some of the stolen antiquities, if we're going to be fully moral about it)? Maybe -- but he knows that he doesn't understand what he's dealing with yet and is perfectly understandably rolling with the ... well, "punches" isn't quite the right word, is it?
I do think it's interesting that Stephen seems to feel like he owes the most to the "lower-class" women that Charles didn't want to be publicly associated with; note that it's the prostitute and the waitress he takes on the road trip, and not anyone from the university. The university staff is probably on the verge of losing their jobs, too, but it's only Mia he's paying so far.
And by the end of the story, the journey could well mean that a) Stephen learns the secrets of controlling and b) comes to terms with his legacy, and c) gains a greater understanding of his father's behavior.
Then again, y'know, it's just porn. "Happy endings" has a different meaning here. But as a *story*, this one is much better than most.
In Chapter 10, though, Daphne? More sex please. Ch. 9 was a bit necessarily exposition-heavy.
