Chapter 23 – Episode 23 First Brothel
Jason headed to the center of René, the capital, with Spia, who could be said to be his only subordinate.
Spear was not a child. In order to succeed as a skilled thief, he has seen all kinds of dirty things more than others.
The brothel was a lucrative industry, and it wasn’t strange that his son was interested in it.
“How many brothels are there in the capital?”
“A little over 500. About 400 of them are protected by paying taxes to the Wolf family.”
After all, it was comfortable to have a subordinate who had the ability.
Spia had investigated all the information she had.
“It is quite large. What is the population of the capital city?”
“It’s difficult to confirm exactly because there are so many people coming and going, but I’m seeing roughly 10 million people.”
Excluding Gyeonggi-do, the population is about the size of Seoul.
Originally, it is difficult to see this level of population density in pre-modern countries, but René, the capital city, has succeeded in prospering to this extent thanks to the power of castle law and magic.
“Then let’s take a quick look around. The face is covered well. Because I don’t want to create unnecessary trouble.”
Even if it was a toy, it was strange to wear an assassin’s mask openly.
As she came out, Spear pressed her hood down to cover her face.
A woman with a pretty face was comfortable with her argument.
If she wasn’t a well-known strongwoman, she’d rather cover her face.
In addition, the place they were heading to was the prosperous brothel of the capital.
‘It’s been a while since I felt like this.’
When Jason was a gangster in Korea, he also got a glimpse of the development of prostitution.
Originally, a street called the red light district developed in Korea.
It was a system where slutty-dressed women were sitting inside the window, passing by and going in and having sex if they liked it.
Of course, a lot had changed before Cho Gyu-chan died.
As the government’s sanctions became stricter, those streets disappeared one by one.
And prostitutes hid in officetels or buildings.
And Rene’s brothel street resembled Korea in the past.
A huge alley was just prepared as a space for entertainment.
Children were prevented from accessing it.
And all the men who went inside were guests, and all the women inside were like prostitutes.
The thug who was smoking a cigarette at the entrance of the alley and looking at people saw Jason with a young face on his face and tilted his head.
The Spear next to him wore a cape and hood, so it was difficult to recognize the gender of Jason, and Jason had a young face, but his body grew quickly, so it was okay to say he was a small adult.
Even so, children became adults quickly in this place.
There was no public education, and a man was just an adult as long as he grew a dark beard under his chin.
When you go inside, the air changes.
There was something more humid in the air that clung to my skin.
A red cloth was wrapped around both sides of the alley, and candles were burned inside to create strange lighting.
Under the red light, the women looked sexier than usual.
Everywhere, this principle seemed to be instinctively noticed.
The only difference was whether it was an electric lamp or an old fashioned one made of candles.
Spia asked Jason.
“If you entrust it to the people below you, you will be able to build everything up to the store. The lady will also fill it in. You will be able to earn a small profit. Do you really need to go out like this?”
Jason looked around.
It was early, but the prostitutes were already waving and asking Jason, who looked young, to come here, calling him brother.
“I am not opening a store just to make a few bucks. All I have now is 3000 gold.”
It is said that an ordinary noble spends about 500 gold per month for living expenses.
Then 3000 gold was only enough for 6 months of living expenses.
If you calculate in Korean money, it will exceed 50 million won, but not 100 million won.
It was barely enough to set up a store.
And Jason had no intention of getting more help from his father.
All he wanted from his father was for the older brothers and sisters above him to stop checking.
He was confident of succeeding as long as no one interfered.
“This money needs to be raised safely and rapidly. What kind of business concept should I create to do that?”
“Hmm… “
Spear was diligent, but seemed to have no business qualities. It was natural.
The quality of business was a talent that only a few had.
Otherwise, the whole world would be overflowing with rich people.
Jason gave Spia the answer right away because he didn’t want business advice.
“Advanced. Small.”
“Advanced. Small? Originally, the bigger the business, the more money you make, right?”
“There is such a way of doing business. But you can’t do that with 3000 gold. I have no regrets about what I can’t do. My best right now is that at least each and every one of the ladies is of the highest quality and everyone can use it even at a higher price.”
“That won’t be as easy as it sounds.”
“It’s difficult, but not impossible, right? And for that, I came out with a preliminary investigation. As my father said, it is best to see it with your own eyes.”
This was also Jason’s trick.
Spear is one of her subordinates, but as long as she belongs to the Wolf family, she will have no choice but to report to Jeffrey.
Hearing that the son quoted what the father said would make the father much more fond of his youngest son.
“When I took a quick look, prostitution here was divided into two main categories. A place where people come to drain water as easily as around here.”
It was a 15 to 30 minute service.
When I went into the inner room after paying the money, I roughly wiped my genitals with a wet towel and had sex.
It is cheap, so many people use it.
“And the nobles say they go to the salon. Drinking with a high-class prostitute there, then going into a suitable room and paying the bills.”
Originally, I wanted to do business with nobles.
However, in order to meet the tastes of nobles, buying and decorating buildings was a problem.
With 3000 gold, it was impossible to get an estimate.
“For now, we will start small. Let’s eat it from below. Then who is the most popular prostitute here?”
“Hmm. They say it’s Fangte’s tria. It is said that nobles often come to see how famous it is.”
“I’ll go right there.”
Jason walked away, shaking off the temptations of the other prostitutes calling him.
Her body was so energetic that even though she had sex with Spear every day, when a young woman seduced her, her heart skipped a beat.
It was not to move the heart, but to pump blood into the penis.
Let’s follow Spia to a shop called Fangtra.
Just looking at it, there were a lot of differences from other places.
She didn’t have a woman who came out first and solicited customers.
And even though they weren’t soliciting customers, several men were wandering around the store, glancing at Fantemann.
As Spea said, there were men who were wearing expensive clothes, probably because they were nobles.
Among the men, those who said they couldn’t stand it would go to the store right next door.
Jason went straight to the store.
In front of him was a muscular young man who looked like a gangster.
He didn’t recognize who Jason was and said as if it was common.
“The deadline is over today. If you want to wait for your reservation to be canceled, would you have stood there?”
Jason Wolf didn’t want to waste his time with pointless abuse.
Iza was unkind, but he was just doing his job.
Jason did not act childishly to trample on the other person by hiding his identity.
“My name is Jason Wolf.”
“Wolf? Wolf?!”
The thug got up right away.
The darkness was deep.
The lower end did not know all the faces of the members of the Wolf family located at the top.
At most, most people saw Jeffrey Wolf’s face as a portrait.
The thug spoke politely at first.
“If you are a member of the Wolf family, I will immediately set aside an hour. What kind of girl are you looking for?”
“The most popular woman.”
“You mean Tria. Then we will prepare.”
Jason went into the store with Spia.
The men waiting outside gave a small clamor.
But it soon calmed down.
Such was the power of the surname Wolf.
Inside, while waiting in a small chair, Jason looked at Spia and said.
“You seem to be well educated. I’m not talking about anything.”
Gangster was a job that was usually done by uneducated people.
And among them, there were often those who tried to do more than what was given to them, drunk on their own insignificant power.
These were obstacles to business.
Even if it was in the realm of illegality, business was business, and if customers stopped visiting, even gangsters would become unemployed.
Since the thug who is now managing this place is said to be a member of the Wolf family, he should treat him well.
And while Jason is being served on the inside, they will try to find out if Jason is real or if he is an impersonator.
If it was real, he would be praised for doing a good job, and if it was fake, he dared to impersonate the Wolf family, so it was enough to make him an idiot and take all his money.
“Yes. Because if you do stupid things, it’s the Wolf family who will turn you into an idiot.”
“Good good.”
It was the family he had anyway.
It was better to have a family that was running well from the bottom rather than a rotten bottom.
‘Of course, if it’s well managed, it means that it’s harder for me to penetrate.’
However, after obtaining it, all of this would become his own power.
