Capítulo 50: Chapter 50: Transactions in the Underworld
"Go, serve the young master of the Meron family well."
Hugo pushed Elina away, showing no concern for her unease. Normally, Hugo would never let his woman be put in such a situation. It was precisely because of this that Elina had chosen to seduce Hugo. But who could have foreseen today's events?
The smug expression on John's face was that of a triumphant conqueror. He naturally pulled Elina into his arms and headed straight for the corridor leading downstairs. That area was meant for VIPs, but John walked in without hesitation.
The most terrifying part was that Hugo didn't even try to stop him.
"Boss, who is this guy?" one of Hugo's lackeys asked, cluelessly.
Hugo's face darkened. "Shut up and mind your own business."
After that, Hugo followed John. The lackey felt a deep sense of grievance but could only endure it, trailing behind Hugo to find John.
John arrived downstairs, where the ambiance was indeed different from the upstairs bathhouse. It was more refined and the decor was more luxurious. However, it wasn't overwhelmingly opulent, as John had seen the palaces of Rouen and Oxford.
"Aren't you going to show me around?" John teased Elina, who was in his arms.
Elina, still anxious, replied, "Sir, this area is specially built for our VIP guests. If the owner finds out you've barged in like this, he'll definitely be angry."
John, in his current mood, was not in the least receptive to such concerns. "Then let your boss come see me. Let's see if he dares to be angry."
Previously, Elina would have summoned the owner immediately. But now, she feared that even the owner couldn't handle the situation, which would spell disaster.
"This is a private bath, right?" John asked as he approached a small bath, sitting down in it.
Elina took the towel off John's shoulders, folded it neatly, and placed it by the bath. She then gently undressed, revealing her flawless body, and joined John in the bath.
John's intentions were clear. After taking another sip of wine, he began to explore Elina's body. Her allure was undeniable, and John was completely captivated.
Seeing this scene, Hugo swallowed hard, quietly closed the door, and then turned to leave.
Hearing the door close, John swiftly lifted Elina. The two, completely naked, embraced each other, giving in to their primal desires...
### The Next Morning
John woke up in a small room, with Elina sleeping soundly beside him. Memories of the previous night still lingered vividly in his mind. Having been in the medieval era for so long, it was the first time John had experienced such pure pleasure. Elina's skills were indeed exceptional, a true testament to her profession.
Reflecting on Elina's adeptness, John got out of bed and donned a robe. He opened the door to find a bald man in a luxurious robe standing outside, flanked by several eunuchs. They seemed to have been waiting for him for quite some time. Hugo was also present, looking somewhat uneasy.
"This way, sir," the bald man said with unusual deference, instantly making John realize what had happened. Hugo had likely revealed his true identity. However, it didn't matter; the bald man didn't seem prepared to openly acknowledge it, indicating Hugo had briefed him beforehand.
They moved to another small room and dismissed all the servants and attendants, leaving just three people: John, Hugo, and the bald man.
"Allow me to introduce myself, Your Highness," the bald man began, Hugo's choice of address already giving away John's identity. "I am the owner and sole manager here, Kian."
John waved his hand dismissively. "No need for such formality. I came here to have some fun, and now it's all turned into this. It's quite tiresome."
Kian nodded understandingly. "Your Highness, I understand that you must be seeking some release from the monotony of daily life. I assure you, your identity will remain a secret here. You will be known simply as Young Master John of the Meron family. Is that acceptable?"
It was clear that Kian, being in the service industry, knew how to handle such situations smoothly.
"Now, sir..." Hugo tried to interject, but John cut him off.
"Continue, Kian. I'm curious to hear what else you have to say."
With John's permission, Kian continued, "Your Highness, if you ever wish to return, you can come directly. Inform my staff that you are Young Master John of the Meron family, and we will ensure you receive VIP treatment. We guarantee that you won't be charged, and whichever woman you desire will be arranged for you."
In a feudal society, being born into the right family truly makes all the difference. All John had to do was sit there, and various privileges were handed to him.
Of course, John wasn't the type to take advantage without giving back. Since Kian had offered him so many benefits, John wasn't going to let him go unrewarded.
"I'll inform the city council to give your business some special attention," John said. Though he didn't specify what kind of attention, the mere promise was a significant benefit for Kian.
Hugo, feeling awkward, sat there not knowing what to do, feeling entirely unnecessary.
John quickly made a request: "But I want to take Elina with me."
This demand put Kian in a difficult position. Elina was one of his top attractions, and losing her would surely impact his business.
"Five pounds."
John confidently held up five fingers, launching a financial offensive.
"Sir, this is a bit..." Kian's hand trembled.
Seeing Kian's hesitation, John thought Kian was unsatisfied and was about to offer more. Hugo quickly intervened, allowing Kian a chance to speak.
Kian's lips quivered. "That is quite a lot."
Indeed, for just one person, John was offering an excessive amount. Five pounds could support a knight, let alone buy a top courtesan. Kian was now truly aware of the royal family's extravagance and wealth, far beyond what he could imagine.
The transaction was quickly settled, with John purchasing Elina directly from Kian.
Having secured Elina, John finally left. As he departed, Hugo trailed behind, constantly asking questions.
"Your Highness, I understand that you like that woman, but spending so much money on her seems a bit excessive, don't you think?" Hugo spoke quickly, "Your Highness, you really should reconsider. Even though you have plenty of money, you can't just spend it like this."
John didn't hear a word of it; his mind was entirely occupied with the thoughts he had after his wild night. Perhaps he could try to improve the cultural level of the people in this world.
