LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 77: Offer
“Your boss had once again taken my girls to Chase,” I said to the middle-aged man sitting in front of me.
“We did not take your girl's mister Silver. They have come to us with their own will.” He said and Carla snorted.
“You know I had fired them from the job yesterday, right?” I asked him, and not a single expression on his face changed.
“We are aware of that. You have unbiasedly fired them, despite them working hard to earn the money for your business.” said the man with no hesitation or fear.
I smiled at hearing those words.
All they care about is money, never trying to understand the grand plan I had in my mind. I do not mind them taking the girls, since they want the subpar girls, I will give them to him.
“I will release them after they sign this contract, and I became assure they have gone to you through their own will,” I said. He did not say anything and looked at the contract. I forwarded.
“The conditions here are too difficult,” he said, looking at me.
“There will be no change, Chase. Either you will have to accept, or we will have litigation,” I said with a smile.
Last time, I had no choice but to release them. This time, I could make it difficult and even impossible. I had learned from my mistakes and fixed them.
My girls pay taxes, whore do not pay taxes, but mine does with me as their employer. This means, they could not directly take my girls without my permission and not even break the contract through the breaker, as I can sue them.
It is such fun to play with the law.
“I will have to discuss this with my employer,” He said finally. “Please do that, Chase, and take Carla with you.”
“She will look at the girls and if your boss agrees with the conditions. She could sign a contract on my stead and release them from my employment.” I spoke.
He nodded gently, but I could see the spark of excitement that had lit up in his eyes.
“As you say, Mister Silver,” he said and got up, “Please, miss Carla.” Carla gave me a look and followed him while I turned to work.

Twenty minutes later, I saw Carla walk out of Red Fragrance. A few minutes later, she walked into my office.
“Here are nine million,” she said and placed a check on my table. I will not let them take my girls free. With those conditions and this money, I am more than happy to let them have those subpar girls.
I would have liked to increase the price further, but I could not. At least not for some time.
Still, these nine million are going to help me a lot.
“How much did he offer you?” I asked and a surprise couldn’t, but appear on her face. There is no way Norman wouldn’t try to poach the most important person in my business.
“Fifty million,” she replied a moment later.
“It is quite a lot of money,” I said. “I would earn more here,” she said, and there is confidence in her voice.
Hearing that, I immediately got out of my chair, and for the next hour, only moans rang in the office.
Sigh!
I sat down in my chair, feeling a little tired. It had happened so suddenly that I wasn’t able to control myself at all. Hearing the confidence in her voice had exploded the volcano of desire that I couldn’t control.
For the next one and a half hours, I worked before the establishment opened. Unlike yesterday, I had carriages in my establishment within a minute and nearly all of them were from the red fragrance.
Knock Knock
I watched for a while before working, and before I know it, an hour passed, and a knock rang out on my door.
“Master Silver, Mr. Rip, and Maeve Hanson had arrived,” said Jill, as she opened the door. “Bring them in,” she nodded and went back.
‘It seemed like I will need to bring the magical intercom thing,’ I thought before the door opened, and Rip and his sister walked inside. I was barely able to stop a surprise from appearing on my face.
She is beautiful, as beautiful as Carla, a little younger with straight raven hair, dark brown eyes, and a symmetrical face, which might seem elvish at first glance, but is pure human.
To be honest, I have a hard time believing she is Rips's sister. He is average at best. Though, the similarities between them are apparent.
“Rip, miss Hanson, please take a seat,” I invited them, while Carla also came out of my office and sat to the left of me. They sat down and glanced at Carla for a moment before turning to me.
“Thank you, mister Silver,” said Rip. “You can call me Remus, Rip,” I said, and he nodded.
He is clearly uncomfortable here, and so is his sister. Which is not surprising, as they are in the brothel. Nobody wants to come to the brothel with their sister.
“Mister Silver, my brother had said, you had an offer for us,” said Maeve, with her face all serious.
“Yes, I want to buy your business,” I said directly, and a surprise couldn’t help but appear on their faces.
They might have expected it, but it had still surprised them greatly.
“You know they sealed our business, and its license is suspended,” she said. “It won't be a problem,” I said simply. The lieutenant general may be powerful, but I want to buy the business, he won’t be able to do anything.
The merchant guild there will help me, the merchant guild here will put their weight behind me.
I am no common merchant, but someone from a house of silver. You do not mess with big merchant houses. Even people Count Darrow and Lord Greltheven need to think before doing anything to us.
They might deal with one merchant house, but not all. We might compete and kill secretly, but if there is interference in our businesses, we support each other.
“And what do you plan to do after buying the business?” she asked carefully.
“Set it up here. I have been planning to have an in-house spa in my establishment.” I said, and the expressions appearing on their faces were truly priceless. Even Carla’s impassive face cracked a little.
“For the people who came here?” asked Rip slowly, to which I shook my head. “No Rip. It is for the girls,” I replied, and their expression had changed even further.
For a minute, nobody spoke anything.
“Few people like to work for a brothel, mister Silver,” said Maeve, and Rip’s eyes went wide as he glared at his sister and turn to me in alarm, was quite relieved to see there was still a smile on my face.
Those words were not exactly polite, they were not impolite either. She spoke the truth.
“Yes, not many like to work in a brother, miss Hanson, but if I pay them enough money, they will not have any problems,” I said, without changing my expression, and she nodded.
“You have to give us a lot to think about,” Maeve said. “Can we have some before we get back to you, Remus?” asked Rip.
“Sure,” I said and soon, they left, while I turned to Carla.
“Find out all the details you can about their business,” I said to her. I will try my own connections.
This is the preliminary phase of the deal. They will evaluate, I will evaluate. I need to know their abilities and whether they are suitable for my girls. Not to mention the price, which both need to agree on.
Carla had gone to her office and while I stared ahead. I will need a week or two. Once I became sure that the competition is no threat to me. I will bring the new girls.
The establishment still has a great capacity and I want to use it all. To earn huge money.
While I want the city to be safe and stable, and I have already come to love it. I am well aware of its precarious state.
I have a few years, or at least till the Emperor dies. After that, I will need to get the hell out of here.
Till then, I will have to amass enough money, that I could move to any city and run my business without a problem.
Though, it would be such a regret to leave this beautiful city.
I shook my head and pushed away those thoughts and focused back on the work. Now and then, I would look out, especially when the gates open, before focusing back on the work.
It is mostly planning for the coming spa. It did not matter if the deal goes through or not. As I had said, I will bring someone else. As long as I offer enough money, people will line to work here.
I will need to go to Valentina. While I have space, a few buildings I have created in the back, are now being used for the lessons.
The changes will need to be made to them. I also need to make a few changes underground. It will not cost me much, and I could afford it, even if it turns costly.
I am making good money.
