Chapter 90 - Scarlet Street (2/2)

”Phew!”

Sokka whistled while whispering to Nik, the damn guy couldn't even understand for the fact that if Nik couldn't even hear him in such a loud atmosphere.

Bringing his face closer to Sokka's ears, he finally shouted with frustration.

”Speak up, will you?!”

”Right, sorry! I was saying that I don't think that I need to have any games to find a hookup, right?”

Nik nodded as he already found several gazes on their group. Partly because of the fact that Min's luxurious robes and young age made him one of the most desired customers and the other that Nik was hot enough to enter their eyes even without any visible show of money.

”You don't need game, but coins. I promised you a hookup.” Nik grinned at Sokka while Min had already made his way towards one of the platforms, his fist clenching a lot of coins, ready to be thrown the moment the darling showed her bits while his other hand already munching on meat.

”Here you go!”

Nik threw him a pouch of coins, and as if Sokka had become the most beautiful man the lonely girls had ever met, they immediately flocked him akin to moths crowding a flame.

Smiling at Sokka's foolish expression, Nik could only think that this night may as well be his most memorable night.

”Any local speciality?”

Nik took a seat and tapped the table while speaking loudly towards the bartender, the dark-haired middle-aged man smiled and nodded. Putting up four of his fingers, he then proceeded to prepare a drink in one of the earthen cups that seemed to be laced with a drug that increased the potency of the alcohol.

Placing four coins, Nik waited for the drink while Sokka had already disappeared into one of the private chambers.

'Isn't he the chosen one?'

Nik chuckled at his own dull-humour, in such a place, what else could he do? In fact, even though he might look all freshened up, but such a rowdy place brought memories that Nik didn't want to recall.

Replace the old obese and thin old men with a similar type of women and then, replace luscious women with studs, and there you have it, Nik's nightmare.

A nightmare he lived every day from 11 in the morning to 8 in the evening before he was scheduled to private chambers.

Plural, yes.

Sighing heavily, Nik gulped the content of the cup and felt his throat sting with the spiciness as his face recovered a bit of its natural color, but due to the dim lights, nobody managed to find out his anxiety.

Well, the lovely lady that sat beside him had a whole different mindset, though.

Brushing her long black hair behind, the woman looked at Nik with a rather bold gaze, her crop top and long battle skirt pointed out how she wasn't affiliated to the place, and yet, the woman managed to spank one of the plump asses walking past her and grinned at the bartender and placed a pouch on the counter.

Smiling, the bartender immediately went into motion while the surrounding men, what Nik presumed them to be— merchants and administrators— gave way to the woman, fear visible in their eyes even in such an ill-lighted area.

”Yo, handsome? Is that disgust I smell?”

She grinned at Nik before tapping her nose with her index finger, attracting Nik's attention towards arm sleeves that reached up to her supple biceps her crop top started.

”I am June, what's your name, handsome?”
