She urged her, "You girl, your performance will start soon. Hurry up and get ready."
The fat woman grabbed Veronica's arm and pulled her to the restaurant and then closed the door.
"!!!"
"…"
"…"
Sebastian and rlin stared at the scene in shock.
They couldn't understand why that woman took away Veronica thinking she was a perforr.
They also couldn't understand why she thought they were that woman's subordinates.
Sebastian nervously asked, "Should we tell our Master? Once Darius told us that a few perforrs had gone missing from this restaurant a few tis. Now that I think of it, it's suspicious."
rlin prevented him from doing anything by saying, "Wait, Mistress Veronica is right. We can investigate and figure out who is behind this human trafficking. I know what you are thinking. I'm suspicious of the restaurant too."
"So, are we going to investigate without informing others? If sothing happens to Mistress–" Sebastian didn't finish the sentence and gulped.
They would be dead for sure if sothing happened to her. He didn't have to tell rlin about that.
rlin patted his shoulder to assure him. "That's why we will go and beco her secret bodyguard. At the sa ti, we will investigate."
"So, how are we going to get close to her? If we go inside as that fatty woman's underlings, we will surely be caught. She just couldn't see us properly in the dark and she was in a hurry." Sebastian looked frustrated.
"You co here often. Do you know where the perforrs show their talents?" rlin inquired.
Sebastian was tongue-tied. He uncomfortably averted his gaze. He hesitated to speak.
"They perform in front of drunkards," he finally said. His face started to grow hot, feeling embarrassed.
rlin didn't understand why he was being all shy. He didn't bother thinking.
They needed to focus on the main target.
He initiated the plan, "First, we go as custors. Since the perforrs dance in front of drunkards, we will be able to notice if anything is unusual."
"Okay!"
rlin didn't understand why Sebastian looked so uncomfortable back then.
He realized it after they entered the inner hall of the restaurant.
It was for the custors who wanted to have drinks only.
He glanced at Sebastian in a new light. Tonight, he was enlightened to a certain degree.
Sebastian felt a stare making a hole in his face. He blushed.
"D-don't look at like that! Focus on others," he stamred.
"Sure, I will," rlin nonchalantly replied. 'After all, it wasn't easy to get the inside here.'
He was right.
It was indeed hard.
Only the mbers of the restaurant could enter the inner hall.
The mbers had to be regulars in the restaurant and they couldn't have any connection with the Magic Tower. The rules were surely intriguing. It sparked the boys' interests.
Sebastian realized it was ti for him to use his lethal power. He gathered all the won who worked in the restaurant and knew him.
Thanks to his connection with the pretty won from the kitchen, they were recomnded to the manager. They vouched for Sebastian's frequent visits to the restaurant and that he wasn't part of the Magic Tower.
No one knew that he was associated with the Magic Tower or Arthur. As a spy, he always kept his identity secret.
"What about him?" The manager pointed at rlin.
Sebastian hugged rlin's shoulder and laughed. "He is a real mama's boy. He never cos to a place like this. He ca back after his business was done. He will get married soon. Before that, I want him to teach so good stuff."
The manager was pleased with the explanation. He was like a middle-aged pervert.
Only after the formal procedure, money paynt, and signing papers, they were given golden tokens. The golden tokens were like the mbership cards.
And, when they entered the inner hall, rlin was dumbfounded.
Most of the chairs were full. The n were all drunk. Their lustful eyes were looking at the stage.
The perforrs were dancing and singing on the stage. Most of them were barely wearing proper clothes.
As their bodies seductively swayed with the rhythm, the custors roared in joy.
rlin couldn't help but look at the man beside him and Sebastian couldn't take it.
"I wonder how you know what happens here when you don't have the token," rlin muttered.
"Who do you think I am? I can gather as much information as I want without spending money," Sebastian proudly stated. "The girls who helped us previously, Always let enter the inner hall secretly whenever I requested them."
rlin was truly confounded. "I never thought you would go that far to seduce won to co here."
"I did not!" Sebastian hissed like a snake. "It was all Darius. He ca here and slept with those girls. He is also a mber of this restaurant. He would sotis drag here. That's how I got to know about the beauties and the inner hall."
"And then you sneaked in here whenever Darius wasn't able to accompany you." rlin finished the story.
'So, it was Darius. Why am I not surprised?' he bitterly thought. 'His flirting ability is growing stronger. What do won find in a bald guy?'
He looked at the stage absentmindedly and noticed sothing strange. He asked Sebastian, "Why are these people throwing red-colored pouches of coins on the stage?"
Sebastian explained, "Oh, that's because when a custor likes a lady's performance, he throws money at them. The coins go to the perforr."
He hesitated before continuing, "…Later, the perforr has to sleep with those generous custors who paid them a lot of money."
rlin frowned. He gritted his teeth in anger and spoke in a low tone, "This is an open prostitute business. This should be illegal if the girls are being forced!"
"It is illegal, but no one is complaining. Look over there," Sebastian signaled him.
rlin followed his direction and noticed a group of a young generation. They were ministers' sons. They were wearing simple yet expensive clothes. It was hard not to notice.
'They are backing up the restaurant well.' rlin cautiously looked around and then suddenly, he saw sothing unusual.
Hmm?
