Another beauty then answered. "He was called trash swordsman due to being the one who took out the trash of Valor city."

The last of the beauties said. "We don't know why the man suddenly decided to call us his wives, maybe he fell for our beauty? After all, even Starfall and Gae-bolg fought for us you know? We are pretty important."

Alan then looked at the maids as he said. My master very wealthy businessman has requested for you three specifically to greet him by the gate when he arrives. I have been sent ahead of time to prepare, he will arrive within the day.

At his words, one of them asked. "Oh? May I know the name of your esteemed Master Mr. Alan?"

"His name is Hiro." Replied the merchant.

He did not fail to see the exaggerated reactions of the maids. All three grew restless with one almost falling down. The behavior was in stark contrast to their stoic faces earlier.

A beauty then clapped her hands as she nonchalantly expressed her interest. "Oh, Hiro-sama then, we would love to meet him if you believe our presence would help him enjoy Partisan better."

'No reaction to the name whatsoever. It seems that the real ones are extremely cautious. But for safety's sake, it might be best to get them now.'

Madam Xing then hammered out the details of the appearance of the three beauties. While a high-end brothel, there were a lot of services offered that did not involve sex.historical

Examples are partners for social functions. Massages, songs, dance, painting. Should the courtesan have the ability it can be rented for a period of time. Of course, depending on the courtesan their first night is also up for sale.

As this extremely rare commodity is hard to come by. The women normally try to increase their value through performances. Then when the time is ripe an auction for her first night is done.

Money always spoke, so should the bidder wish to buy the courtesan they can do so for a hefty fee. Once a woman's value first night is sold she would leave the ranks of the courtesans and enter the ranks of the paramours.

Paramours are graduated courtesans which are often rented for purely sex and pleasure. The three beauties called were still courtesans so they were trying to increase their value as much as possible. As 25% of her sale goes to her.

After fussing over what they would be doing and who will accompany Hiro after half an hour the plans were finalized. The three beauties would be rented for sightseeing for two hours in which Hiro would have the option of only taking one of them or all of them at the same time.

And so Alan then tried to take his leave. "Well, please go to the gates at 10 AM, my master said he will be arriving around that time. Of course, any expenses incurred will be shouldered by me. Please ensure you are in your best appearance."

Before he arrived here one of the things Alan tried to confirm with Hiro was what to tell the women so they knew the butcher was the one coming for them. Hiro then nonchalantly said. "Tell them Hiro is looking for them. If they are mine they will approach you on their own."

As Alan was leaving the three maids tried to call out to him. "Sir Srayver". The one who reeked of oil fidgeted unable to say her question. In the end, the one that was slim as a man asked in her stead. "Is Hiro-sama well?"

The merchant didn't fail to notice the amount of emotion in the questions. As if holding back tears all three maids were trembling. Alan who got his confirmation made a soft face as he answered. "He is doing well, and expresses his longing for his wives."

Chuckling he then spoke in humor. "You should have seen him my lady, not even hell himself could keep him away when he knew where you were." The maids were surprised at the sudden friendliness of the merchant.

Unfortunately, the one that broke them up was one of the beauties. She grabbed the hand of one of the maids and firmly chastised her. "You stupid nitwit. I told you to keep your grubby paws off other people. You are an embarrassment and a disgrace go back to the stables! NOW!"

The other beauties likewise grabbed their respective maids and also voiced out their reprimands. "Such insolence, you can forget about dinner tonight. Do this again and I will starve you for a week!" "Why do you never learn do you really want to stay in the cellar that much? Didn't you almost die the last time?"

Alan, who grew pale at what he heard quickly stop the beauties and quickly told them. "Girls, there is no need for violence. These girls seem inept. Tell you what I find them intriguing, can I purchase these slaves for you? How does 30,000 Vals for each of them sound? I can give it to you now in silver coins."

Madame Xing, who noticed the sudden desperation in Alan's voice carefully watched the situation. She wondered what the deal was with the weird-looking maids.

"I am afraid I cannot do that Mr. Alan. This slut is someone entrusted to me by my late grandmother. I am her only family."

"Sorry Mr. Alan, I similarly cannot sell this slave to you. She is my only possession when I migrated here from Valor city."

"Not interested, Sorry."

Alan then tried to stop them from pulling the maids while shouting. "100,000 Vals each please sell them to me!" Yet none of the women relented. Alan kept shouting an increasing number which called the attention of Rick and Rolland.

"200...300...500,000 each! That's more than you three would get for the sale of your first nights!" the one in the lead then turned around and asked. "Who are you really and why are you so concerned with these maids?"

She then pulled her maid to the ground and stomped on her shoulder. "This woman is my maid, and I am her master. If I want to use her as a doormat or a footstool it is my right by rule of law. I already told you I am not selling."

Madame Xing who saw rising tensions tried to intervene. "Honey, why not just sell your slaves, they seemed useless to you anyway right? No need to get into such an argument for something so worthless"

But before the woman can try to answer however a man suddenly appeared between her and Alan and drove his fist into her face in full power. The punch was so strong, the woman's entire cheekbone and jaw shattered at the same time.

The woman flew a good ten meters and smashed into a wall. The man however didn't stop and moved once more. he slammed his shin into the head of another beauty similarly sending her away. The second beauty similarly vomited blood as she flew.

Scared and panicking the last beauty drew a knife and placed it on the neck of her maid which was the shortest one of the three. Calibers started roaring out of the man as he grabbed the last beauty's hand and crushed all the bones before kneeing her in the sternum.

Alan who saw the man grew horrified and quickly moved to put Madame Xing behind him shouting. "Master please spare Xing! She had no idea!"

Hiro didn't reply and simply whispered. "San-Baka, protect my wives. Tsugu, protect Alan and his lover. This will only take a moment."
