lust bound: The prostitute rank up system.-Chapter 127: Leaving

"You can all come here when you’re bored, it doesn’t have to be just for training, okay?" Alaric said.

All three girls had woken up, and were taking the hangover soup. Jezebel was experiencing the worst hangover. It had been her first time drinking mana wine so she was the most affected.

" Can I invite Someone over, or are you the one who invites them?" Jezebel asked.

"If you trust them, you can bring them over, they just have to sign the contract before entering, that’s all."

Jezebel nodded.

" I’m planning on bringing Samantha and some of my new friends ."

" Ooh that’s good, but right now I’ll only host five people at most since it’s still new. "

He took a sip of his soup as a comfortable silence fell over the room.

" Ooh, I almost forgot," Alaric said and pulled out three necklaces. They were all custom-made, and each one had a different design.

He placed each one in front of the girls according to the color they love. Blue for Mercy, purple for Jezebel, and black for Laura.

" What is this made of?" Mercy said and picked up the small necklace. It had a small, red, diamond-shaped stone at the end.

" It’s an ice golem core, I got it from the B-class dungeon, and I didn’t want to sell it since it was my first B-class, so I made it into those necklaces."

" Isn’t it important to you?" Laura asked. She picked up the necklace and studied it. The tip was shaped like a lotus.

" It is, so keep them safe for me okay."

Alaric stood up, went behind Jezebel, and put the necklace on her. He then did the same to both Laura and Mercy.

" Thanks, Al but I’ll have to go now. I’ve got duty calling," Mercy said and stood up. She walked over to Alaric and leaned in for a kiss. They exchanged a fierce kiss before she separated from him, waved at the others, and left.

Alaric watched her walk away until she was out of the basement.

" I’m leaving too, I need to call my driver," Laura said.

" Me too. I drove here by myself , I can give you a ride," Jessica said to Laura. That was bold of her. Laura was quiet for a second before she smiled and nodded.

" That would be helpful, thank you."

Alaric smiled after seeing their interaction. At least the awkwardness they had first had had reduced, and they were starting to get along with each other.

They both kissed Alaric and left the basement while talking to each other.

Laura didn’t really have friends, so Jezebel would be a good fit since she was just as much of an introvert, and she won’t bug her a lot.

" That was a successful night," he said out loud. To tell the truth, he wasn’t confident in himself, which was why he had bought wine.

The wine had loosened both their nerves, so it was pretty easy to get along and feel comfortable. If they had been fully sober things would have been awkward between all of them.

Maybe the next time they meet, they will be able to do it while fully sober. The three had really drained his libido, but sleep brought it back up fast.

He cleaned up the basement, making sure it was organized, and took the dirty bedsheets before leaving the basement. He needed to hire an awakened person or pick someone to take care of the basement.

A cleaning robot and he will not do. Even if he has to keep it a secret it was getting tiring.

....

Alaric lay down in his usual seat at the corner of the brothel, looking out at the others.

His birthday was approaching, and he was thinking about what kind of party he was going to throw since he was turning nineteen. He just hoped that as he matured, his features wouldn’t change too much since he loved his current appearance.

Awakened had a longer life span but the exact number hasn’t been confirmed.

Two days had passed since the soft launch of his basement but no one had come. He himself had a few people in mind but he wanted to observe a bit before he could put everything on paper.

It was better to be cautious rather than hurry it up just for a little profit that might bring problems. He might expose its existence unless he becomes an S rank, but right now, he was one of the many in the pyramid.

The contract wasn’t a concrete way to shut them up; torture would make someone tattle on him without caring about the consequences.

" Alaric you have a visitor," James said above.

" Male or female?" He didn’t want to have sex right now.

" No, male. He came like two hours ago but just stood by the bar for some time before taking one of the single couches and sitting there. He never asked for any woman or man just a glass of juice. He asked for you after he finished his drink. "

Alaric thought that was unusual. Some come to the brothel to just sit there, but his actions were not the same as the others. They mostly pick a comfortable place to sit and interact occasionally with the workers.

The man had asked for him directly, he clearly came looking for him and was probably scouting the area.

" What does he look like?"

" I don’t know, he was wearing a cap and a mask on."

Alaric nodded. Things were getting more and more complicated. He got off the seat and followed James.

" Where is he?"

" I led him to one of the private rest areas."

" Good, I hope it’s not an admirer, that would be complicated."

James chuckled.

" He won’t be the first. "

Alaric shivered and rubbed his arms against each other.

" Don’t tell me about it, I was almost forgetting it. "

Just the week before leaving to go for the dungeon hunting, he had been stopped by a man to ask if he knew Alaric. Him being polite had introduced himself.

He regretted it. Things went haywire the moment the man knew it was him. He had clung to Alaric confessing his undying love and why they should get married.

The man wasn’t bad looking. He had enough feminine features to pass as a woman if he put on a dress and a bit of makeup. Unfortunately for him, Alaric was straight as a pole, so he had only ended with Alaric pushing the struggling man away.

Kael had carried the screaming man out, and he was permanently banned from the establishment. Alaric could bet his life that everyone was laughing at him.

James had poked fun at him on purpose.

They reached the door and James opened it for him. He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

The man was sitting facing the door. He was dressed in a huge black cloak with a mask covering half of his face. Only his green eyes were visible.

" I heard you’ve been looking for me?" He asked the moment he sat down. The man observed him quietly. Alaric did the same..

" Are you Alaric?" The man asked.

Alaric’s eyes widened in surprise. He came looking for someone, while not knowing their appearance.

" I’m not talking to someone who isn’t respectful enough to show their face," Alaric didn’t answer his question directly.

" I apologize I just needed to confirm it was you."

The man removed his cap and took off the mask. He didn’t look familiar at all. Alaric had never seen this man anywhere.

He was good-looking, had short black curly hair, and aqua eyes.

" Do you recognize me?" He asked after revealing his face.

Alaric shook his head.

" No."

" I thought so."

Why did you ask me? Alaric thought.

" Can I help you with something?" Alaric asked.

" Someone recommended that I come to you," he said vaguely.

Alaric leaned forward. He had a small circle of friends, so he wondered who had told him to come to him.

" Who sent you? Just stop beating around the bush."

The man sighed.

" Ivory sent me here, she said I would be safe if I hide out here," the man said.

Alaric blinked and sat up straight. How could he forget Ivory, the girl can hack into anything. He looked up at the camera in the room but it just blinked back at him.

He was pretty sure she was watching them. Just what kind of trouble had she brought to his door? Alaric rubbed his forehead in frustration. He didn’t want anything to do with whatever mess she was involved him, but he wasn’t sure he could escape her clutches.

" What have you done that you need to hide here? Tell me first before I give you my opinion."

Alaric noticed the man’s right leg start to bounce the moment he asked for his details. Alaric knew this was a sign of anxiety. He just hoped whatever mess he had been pulled into involuntarily wasn’t as bad.
