“Cindy, go ahead and speak, the floor is yours,” I said to Cindy who looked like she was trying her best to hold back a lot of what she wanted to say to give me enough time to process what Diana said and form an opinion about it.
“Frist of what CEO Diana had claimed is all conspiracy theories there is no evidence to support her claims.” Cindy immediately claimed that Diana’s claims are nothing but outlandish theories with no evidence to support them.
“What do you know about brothels? I spent my childhood there and most of my friends and elders from my childhood still work in the newly reformed brothels, the workers there are as terrified of the authorities as they used to be of their pimps. Don’t speak unless you know what is going on in there.” Diana quickly rebutted Cindy.
“You two don’t forget why I am here and let’s not turn this into a debate about whether the laws supporting the authorities regulating the brothels are good or bad. All I care about is how this will affect my new business venture. For that, I need to know and understand the entirety of these regulated brothels. So, ladies don’t just give me your opinion, tell me everything you heard about the brothels and the authorities operating them. We need to make sure not to make enemies out of the government and royal families this early in our development phase.” I was okay with Cindy and Diana expressing their opinion on the regulated brothels but when it appeared to turn into a debate, I immediately warned them that they were going off track.
“Yes, boss.” Diana and Cindy responded in agreement.
“Good, Diana could you explain to me what you meant by the brothels turning into the House of Ego? Please elaborate.” Diana only spoke about how the brothels were a den of snitches but never explained what she meant by terming it as the house of ego.
“Boss, would you believe me If I told you that last month’s city brothel’s top beauty’s virginity was sold for 100 median soul jades?” Diana answered with a deadpan face.
“…” hearing Diana I was astonished. One has to know that 100 median soul jades equal 1000 low soul jades. 1000 low soul jades for a one-night stand, was just prodigal. How prodigal are the people in a second-rate city and first-rate if the people in the third-rate city like the sky blossom city can be this prodigal? I finally understood why the government and royal families decided to regulate the brothels. This was a lot of easy money.
“Astounding right? The income the city brothel generates on a signal night is more astounding. Enough to make you feel you are in the wrong business. Want to hear something more sickening, the sex workers are only given a percentage of this money. Yeah, someone else is forced to sell their body while someone else is reaping the profits.
The training and reforms that Cindy mentioned, like the medical support in the brothel, all are charged hefty prices and are cut from the sex workers’ wages.” Diana slipped back to arguing about how bad the regulated brothels are but feeling my glare reminded her not to go off track and she continued, ” not only the new worker’s virginity is sold in an auction, the authorities have come up with many other ways to have the customers compete over the sex workers and as always those that pay the highest get their pick. For wealthy customers, this is like a conquest, they are willing to spend a fortune to go to spend a night with the best and most desired hostess. This competition is seen as a form of asserting one’s pride and dominance. So it usually becomes very competitive. To save face customers are willing to pay any price. The authorities always welcome more money.
The brothels are also opened in the grimoire network, so that the city brothels can attract customers from neighboring and other far away cities.
Boss, you cannot access that site, as it will not show in your grimoire network as you are not of the required legal age to access such profanity.
Every aspect of the brothel is such that they make the customers compete with one other over the sex workers, and the sex workers are ordered to favor the high-paying clients over the rest. And also have the clients order expensive things frequently. This is why I called the brothel house of ego.”
“Sister, your news is outdated. I heard a wealthy female merchant visiting the city last month directly bid 1000 median soul jade for a male sex worker. Crazy right. My pocket money is chump change in front of that.” Jaya complained to Diana that her pocket money is not enough.
“You are lucky that I am giving you pocket money.” Diana didn’t give in to Jaya’s complaints.
“…” Ignoring the sisters, I finally was starting to understand how my pleasure cards will affect the government and the royal families’ interests.
What Daina and Cindy said was an understatement. If it were me I wouldn’t just ban the slime fairy cards but I would hunt down its creators to avoid future competitors. This was a big problem. If I want to start a business venture using pleasure cards then I have to find a way to get around this problem.
The authorities weren’t the only problem but I need to perfect the pleasure cards so that they can challenge the trained sex workers in the brothels in every way.
Real money can only be made through these pleasure cards when they manage to attract high-profile customers who have so much money that spending it becomes their daily worry.
Not to mention the strong conservative ideas of the society that would frown on card apprentices humping summoned monsters. The word frown here was an understatement.
