《Re:Direction The Peak (Cultivation Tale)》CH. 279

The woman nodded her head at Jin without much care. She did not seem to be ready to work at the moment. In fact, she was hoping to have this customer give up on her as she still wished to go sleep.

However, contrary to her expectations, staying silent made her even more attractive to Jin. This woman was trying not to sell herself but to Jin, it appeared to be the opposite. He felt as if she did not speak precisely to attract him further. And it was working. A silent beauty was exactly what he needed...No, it was even better. It would be a perfect bait!

Jin nodded and stated matter-of-fact "Very good"

The businessman heaved a sigh of relief while the woman frowned. Both did not expect Jin to remain interested. It was quite the wonderful surprise to the owner while a less delightful one to Hymin.

The owner asked once more to make sure: "Are you sure, old friend? Maybe another girl would suit your needs better?"

Jin shook his head sideways and reaffirmed his choice: "No. She is more than good enough. If she wants the job, it's hers"

The owner nodded and turned to Hymin. He explained her: "This is an old friend of mine. He has a rather peculiar need for a girl to be his partner for an event tonight. It won't involve anything sexual and you only need to be presentable and act the part"

Hymin's brow rose up. She did not expect such a sweet deal. She thought there was a powerful man with savage libido that wanted to have some in the late morning... However, a job for the night that did not involve sex? It sounded quite good. And she was smart enough to decipher the hidden meanings.

Why would someone ask for a whore to be his partner at a social event?

That was because he could not take anyone else. And there could be many reasons for this...So, she asked: "What's the catch?"

The business owner sighed loudly in an exasperated way. This girl was good at her job but that big mouth of hers... Sometimes he wished he could sew it up. Unfortunately, he could not. Considering what they discussed about previously with his old friend, he could only deliver the truth: "It is dangerous as it might go awry"

She frowned. It was quite obvious that he meant that she could die from this job. She did not want to die. She stayed here and worked this horrible job precisely to keep herself alive. She was struggling so hard solely with the goal not to die. She snorted and stated: "I reject"

While she worked for him, she was not a slave. She was legally a 'free' citizen and was under no obligations to follow any orders. Of course, it might deteriorate her relationship with her boss since this man in front of them was definitely not your average dude. But then again, her life was many times more precious.

Jin smiled at her answer. It was even better this way. She had a strong desire to stay alive. Someone like that would not try to meddle with others and butt into their problems. He liked her even more.

He did not bother letting the owner convince her any longer and decided to do it himself: "While there are risks, it is only a possibility. I'd rather it went well. Also, let me state this. Your reward will be ten gold coins right at the end of the night, paid in full"

She snickered and said: "And how much would I really get after he took his part?"

She reacted in such a way because in her line of work, it was not the working women who made the dough. They worked for it but it was their bosses that got the money. Even if the reward of ten golds was incredibly attractive, if she only earned a dozen silver from all of it, was there a point? Ten silvers were still a huge amount but was it worth her life? No. It was not. To her, at least, it was not.

However, Jin's next words stunned her: "You would get ten golds. His reward is another matter we settled previously. Your manager here is only a middle-man between us"

Hymin turned to her manager and asked incredulously: "Is he serious? I would get ten golds?"

The manager nodded as he added: "My remuneration is a different matter. The golds would be yours and yours only"

Hymin was stunned into silence and she began to seriously ponder on the offer. This was an opportunity. Ten silvers were a good amount but she would not be able to leave and restart an honorable life with that. However, with ten golds, she could buy herself into a brand-new life. She could get a new start far away... A cozy new start.

Was it worth risking her life?

Considering that she might be able to get a second chance, to change her future... It was like betting her life for a better future. In a way, it was worth it.

If she agreed, she would either die or earn enough to start anew. She would never again be given such an opportunity. Even though there were risks... Was it worth it to reject it only to keep working as a whore until she lost her looks? Then, what would be left for her to do?

She made up her mind and asked Jin: "What do I need to do exactly?"

Jin grinned and stated: "Wear your best and a mask covering your facial features. I will pick you up at 8 p.m tonight"

She nodded. She was determined to go through with this. Since she made her mind up, she would not regret her choice and follow it through. Jin did not bother overstaying. He took a single gold coin from his spatial ring and sent it to an ecstatic business owner then he got up.

As he began to make his way to the door, he spoke one last time: "I trust that neither of you will renege on our deal. And do keep it a secret. See you tonight, lady Hymin"

Then, he left without caring about their answers or reactions.

After this, he visited three more brothels where he made the same offers to two more women. They were back-ups in case the first one stood him up.

Being prepared thoroughly was a must.
