Bab 154: Commotion at the brothel

"My wrath?" I echoed Madam's words. My expression turned into a snicker that I quickly hid by turning my head away and shielding it with one of my hands. 

But I obviously wasn't fast enough. 

"Madam is amounting me to way too much," I added after taking my time to calm down my amusement. 

"I just followed up on your words. It's you who brought your job of a contractor to the discussion," Madam said. This time, it was her turn to chuckle. 

"But it was one of your girls that thought it would be a wise idea to threaten me," I replied after giving the middle-aged woman a moment to enjoy her fake victory. 

"Oh, you can't tell me you took it seriously!" Madam protested, releasing another chuckle. Then, her gaze turned cold. "And if that wasn't the case... Why did you bring out your job as a contractor into the discussion?" she asked. 

What a clever woman. Or rather, what a manipulative piece of filth.
