Chapter 94 - Docks (2/2)
Barkeep- ”Keep it down Oppius, are you really looking to start something with Numerius again? Don't listen to this old fool, sooner or later he's going to say something that will get him killed.”
Oppius growing angry at being talked down on, yelled back- ”Your no better Vibius, if you keep it up, I'll deal with you myself.”
The barkeep frowned- ”You had enough, get out of here, I'm cutting you off.”
Oppius then reached over the counter for the man, knocking over drinks- ”You can't do that!” he yelled.
Having enough the barkeep signaled for the nearby bouncer he employed to deal with the man.
”Nooo, stop it, stop, let me go, I have a right to be here and order as much as I want, let me go,” protested Oppius while he struggled against the bouncer.
Barkeep- ”Sorry about that, now for your question, I would say next best would be Caius if you don't mind a relatively untested fellow, he's looking to travel and would likely accept your offer, he'll also be your quickest way out to sea at the moment.”
”Sure, where can I find him?” Theoric asked taking another sip.
Barkeep- ”Won't be hard, he'll be the only one loading up supplies for a long trip around here.”
Just as he was intending to leave, soldiers filled up on liquid courage surrounded him while he was still seated.
”Hey, aren't you the man who was traveling with those fine pieces of a.s.s, how about you let me and the boys have a go at them.” said the semi sober leader.
”Yea, cosidr it service to tose who fit for you wie you hie behin yur ancy git up,” said another
”Yea at home, too sared to atuay fit in real attles.” said another.
Theoric's face fell listening to their crap and slurred words.
Seeing nothing good about to happen, the barkeep tried to talk them out of it- ”Settle down now, you guys are drunk, don't go wrecking my bar until you sober up and are fully aware of what you're doing.”
The leader pointed at the man- ”Quiet down barkeep or we'll shut this place down permanently and have you thrown in prison.” He knew the minute he saw those women he wanted them. He never once got with a woman so fine, most of the time they were in their ivory towers behind high walls and locked gates.
But now he saw his chance, he was finally made leader of a small group of men and given a city in which to patrol and maintain order. Feeling close enough to the top, he started to get that powerful itch that he couldn't quite scratch as he took command of the citizens during his patrols.
He couldn't do anything outrageous though due to higher ranking commanders shipping in and out of town. He was never at the very top of the food chain, so his hidden d.e.s.i.r.es were kept in check for fear of being punished.
Right when he was at his breaking point was when he saw those three angels appear, brightening the otherwise cloudy day. The only problem was they weren't alone, they had what he assumed was a bodyguard.
He tried to get his mind off of it by going to the bar and drinking with his men but in walks the bodyguard alone. Downing the glass, he decided now was his chance to remove the obstacle and take the women.
