บท 34: First Prey 2
"What are you shouting for? These kinds of tasks are done in a low voice or do you want authorities to know about us?"
He frowned at the man as his hands itched to throw him away but looking at the amount of coins, he relented.
"Why don't you come in and we can see how the girl could be found." the mercenary relented as he walked in. He wanted to have the girl for the night or he would not feel satisfied. He had already made so many plans of tormenting her that he could not just let go.
As they both walked in, they failed to notice the sharp eyes of the man staring at their every action in the crowd. He climbed on his horse and rode away just as both men entered.
The man handling the prostitute house sighed as he looked at the various doors but then his eyes glinted and a smirk formed on his face.
"Master, do you know which door you have walked in? The girls have the same room every night. So if you know the door, you can find the girl you are looking for!" he offered and the mercenary stared at every door with delight.
He was in the field of killing and robbery for so long that remembering doors and houses was a piece of cake for him.
He nodded his head and pointed at the red door on the other corner when finally the pimp took a breath of relief. He waved his hands signaling that the room was empty and he could take it if he wanted.
With a broad smile on his face, he returned to his seat when he saw the man entering the room and then closing the door.
He had other guests to take care of too. Just as he came back and sat on his seat with the desire to earn more, a dagger landed on his table just an inch away from his finger.
Sweat formed on his face instantly as his face turned ashen. Trying his best to maintain his expressions, he looked above with the desire to treat the person who was trying to be hero only to see three knights standing there.
More than that, he recognized the one in the center.
"My… my… my" he tried to form a greeting but words failed him. He was so scared that he could feel his soul leaving his body.
He was meticulous enough to change the address. He even changed his looks by cutting his hair and growing a beard but this man.. He had still found him.
"Haven't I told you to stop this business last time or I will burn you alive?" The cold voice and piercing eyes were no less than of a devil who had come to take his soul away.
He trembled but did not know how to reply to him. That was the perfect business where he could earn so much silver and sometimes gold too without doing a thing. The women he had were too poor and had nothing to do in the male dominated society.
The woman can only work as maids but she did not have enough pay and mostly nobles only hired higher maids after recommendations that they did not have. So it was perfect for them.
But no matter how he had tried to explain this man, he never understood their plight. Like a dog, he always smells them and closes their business in a week. Then they have to wait for months to start it with a new place and identities.
"Alex, why don't you just kill this man. Then we did not need to look for him every time we came back from our mission." he flinched as he looked at the man who was standing on the side. Ethan, was it? He was the one who blabber recklessly without thinking that it could cost them their life.
"No! My lord, I can explain.`` He opened his mouth but there was nothing to explain. "The women have nowhere to go and they do not know anything else but need money for their poor houses.
One of them is a young mother whose child is ill. If she does not earn, her son will die!" He tried his best to sound like a kind and emotional person who cared so much about these women while hiding his greed since he knew the man only closed their business but did not kill him so that he could take care of the women.
He had a soft heart for the weak and that way, he would take benefit of him once again.
"If not me, think about them, my lord." he pleaded as he joined his hands and bowed his head a bit. He was looking like a perfect miserable man who would die if not taken care of when the man on the other side snorted.
Alex frowned as his face turned colder. He knew that most of the women would die if the business was closed but he just could not bear them selling their body for just two pieces of bread.
"Tsk! I will hire all of them to work in the training ground." the eyes of the pimp widened as shock filled his eyes. He had always thought that man was of honor who would have thought that he was.. He coughed and looked away to hide the shock in his eyes when the face of Alex twitched.
His eyes turned colder
"I mean working as maids.. I will pay you enough to sell all of them to me. It would be enough to live the rest of your life.
Now go and chase all the clients away right now or I would kill you and take them away for free."
