Chapter 296 – Pocket Check
How many times have you walked the streets of the city called Westway alone with Germi?
If you ask me, and if you think about it, you can say that there is no.
Wherever I went, Natalya and Roin always followed me. If you think about it, you can almost call it a nanny. It would not be enough to express my gratitude to Natalya, who is full of kindness, and Roin’s maternal love.
“I don’t think it’s a very suitable place for a date…”
Germi, who was walking next to me, made a bolmen sound.
It’s not like I couldn’t understand her complaints. The place I was walking on was the most shady place on the West Way, a brothel.
If they were an ordinary couple, they would be slapped on the cheek just for bringing their lover to a place like this. I even came because I told Germi that I wanted to take a look at the brothel run by the Black Moon. It is not at the level of being brought, but at the level of being guided. No one knows the difference between active and passive.
“Sorry. I have something to check.”
“Well, I don’t think you said you wanted to see it unnecessarily, so I brought you here with understanding.”
There must be a reason for my actions. Let’s also express our gratitude to Germi for being so considerate and understanding.
I feel like no matter how much I thank my girls, it’s not enough.
“So, what’s the point of wanting to come all the way to a place like this and check it out?”
“Hmm… To put it simply, it’s a pocket check.”
Black Moon is now trying to expand its business into a new field of textiles. I’d say it’s a great step.
If the market and business are compared to a war over money, business expansion will not be insufficient to understand it as frontline expansion.
It would be the rule of war history to refrain from expanding the front line, but unfortunately, the huge organization called the Black Moon has many mouths. If you don’t feed it constantly, it will starve to death.
That is why, if there is something to eat within its reach, it must greedily swallow it. No, such a passive attitude is definitely not enough. You have to reach out for food, take food from other people’s bowls, even food that goes into other people’s mouths, and chew and swallow them.
It is the same as the problem that Hergel pondered before. Hergel seems to have tried to solve the problem by reducing his size and shortening his mouth, but I am a greedy man. If grass roots come into my mouth and meat goes into other people’s mouths, it’s a grumpy race that can’t stand it.
That’s why it’s a wire extension.
Before going into a fight, you must first check your condition. In that sense, check your pockets. In other words, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you win 100 times.
Knowing your enemy is important, but before that, you must know yourself. I’ll have to make sure what I can use.
“There are three sources of income for the Black Moon, right?”
“The brothel operation, the sale of slaves, and the distribution of drugs.”
Should I say that Hergel was well-versed in the dark? Even managed to unify the dirty side. No, since it is possible with the power, it must have been an easy task for him as he was of mixed beastman race.
He managed to unite the criminal organizations scattered throughout the night streets of the city and reach beyond the Westway to reach the cities of the west of the kingdom.
But he couldn’t handle his own size, which had grown so big.
Drug distribution is an illegal business with high risks in the first place.
The amount that comes and goes at one time is large, but there are not many people who buy it. In the first place, I bought the drugs needed to train the slaves and sold the leftovers. It helps to increase profits occasionally, but to make it the main source of money for the organization… Well?
If so, the sale of slaves could be said to be the core of the Black Moon. How about this one
There are quite a few people who want to buy slaves. Merchants with a lot of money, or farms or factories run by aristocrats, seek them to use. It can also be sold at a high price. But there is a fundamental problem. The supply is so unstable.
Criminals can be bought from the guards and supplied to the market only after they have been properly trained. To meet the supply, they reached out to all the cities in the western part of the kingdom.
Even so, the long-term abduction of people in the vicinity of the city shows how unstable the supply has been.
Finally, the brothel. This is the enzyme No, should I say filial piety?
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the brothel has supported the organization so far.
Anyway, there is no problem with supply only this side. No I can afford In the first place, prostitutes are not disposable items that can be used once and thrown away. It is a product that can be used continuously. There is also a constant demand. Men who don’t have to look out for women, such as mercenaries or peddlers, need regular gratification.
Besides, brothels aren’t illegal in this world. Those who hesitate do not hesitate.
Also, a place with a large floating population is perfect for distributing and receiving information. Of course, the quality of information will decrease, but what I am going to do from now on is more important than quantity of information.
Thinking so, I looked around. It’s still broad daylight, so there aren’t many touts. There are many windows that are not open.
“Hmm… Are all the window guards on this street owned by the Black Moon?”
“Huh.”
“Let’s go to the most expensive house. I have something to see.”
“Huh…”
Germi’s expression was sullen as she answered my words. It was a long-awaited date, so I went out dressed more than usual, but the most expensive place to look around was the Changgwan. No matter how much I said I understood, it seemed that I couldn’t help feeling down.
When I go back, I think I’ll have to soothe him hard in bed.
Center of the street. I saw the most ornate building. The door is open, but I don’t see anyone soliciting customers, so it feels like it’s definitely not open yet.
As soon as you enter the open door, what greets you is the terrible smell of perfume that greets you with a frown.
“Ugh, the smell of perfume. Germi. Are you okay?”
“I’ve been here a few times, but I still can’t get used to the smell. My nose looks crooked.”
Germi held her nose in her hand and swung her hand around as if to drive away the scent of her perfume.
It must have been quite a foul smell to Germi, who has a much more developed sense of smell than me, a normal person, due to being a mixed race of beastmen.
“Sorry. Because it’s not open yet.”
A middle-aged woman walked out from the inside, laughing, as if in response to the raucous chatter at the entrance. It is a job that feeds on the favor of men. Day or night, a smile is important.
The woman who approached with a smile saw her Germi and slightly hardened her face and bowed her head.
“Boss, why are you here? I paid my monthly installments properly…”
“Madame, as the boss of the Black Moon, do I seem free enough to go collect the paycheck myself?”
“I’m sorry. My thoughts are short, so I make mistakes…”
As if she hadn’t pouted when, next to her was Germi exuding the charisma of a Black Moon boss. Germi looked down at the back of Madame’s head with her cold eyes, then she glanced at me.
I’m guessing you’ll tell me what to do
“Madam. I’d like to take a look around the room.”
“A room, you mean a room?”
“Okay. A room where women and men mix. If possible, the best room.”
“I will guide you.”
Walking at a brisk pace, she followed the madam who led the way. Upon entering the room on the third floor, located in the center of the top floor of the building, the view of the street came into view from the wide terrace. Surely. In such a scenic spot, looking down at the soliciting prostitutes while fucking and eating women is just so pleasant.
“This is the best room.”
“Is it the best of Westway?”
“Yes?”
The madam tilted her head at my question.
Tsk, do you not understand such a simple question? This is why empty-headed women who lived with their legs spread apart couldn’t have a conversation.
“Here, I’m asking if this room is the best place on the Westway. Are you asking if I am the best Changgwan?”
“Ah! Yes Sure. Our establishment is the best in Westway. And this room is the best room in our Changgwan. The girls are great too!”
“I’m not interested in the girls here.”
I have some of the best girls around me, and I wonder if anyone will be interested in the wide-legged gals if I give them money.
After answering the madam’s nonsense in moderation, I walked over to the bed in what I prided myself as the best room in the city and examined it.
The duvet is well organized. Sitting on top, the bed is soft, so it’s not bad.
I stretched out my slightly immobile hand and examined the feel of the blanket. I checked it carefully by touching it and lying on it.
It’s definitely a pretty good quilt. It is not inferior to the one used in Germi’s mansion. However, if this is the best quilt of Westway’s window, I think my plan can go ahead without a hitch.
