Chapter 181: I made myself hungry and had to get food

"Please sir, I don’t know what you are talking about. I have no possessions to my na, I an just look at . Do you really think I have mountains of wealth?"

"Yeah, I do. Now cough it up shrimp!"

A large beast man with striped orange and black hair, who unsurprisingly had tiger ears sprouting from his head, bared his teeth and growled lowly as he held the human by the scruff of his shirt.

The Tiger-man - nad AlexandertheGrrreat, or Great for short - was easily more than a foot taller than the human, and lifted him with a single clawed hand like he was just a rag doll. Between the dual swords resting on this Tiger-man’s hips and his shining armour, it was clear that he was a high levelled player with plenty of cash to flash around.

It was a far cry from the scruffy, holess looking boy he was holding by the shirt and threatening, creating a very strange image all around, but no one stepped into interfere. The people in this district were bluer in blood, which ant that they did not fight or interfere in other peoples business.

They paid others to do such barbaric things, like actually using their hands. Just the thought of doing it themselves made them shudder in disgust.

Besides, in their opinion the Tiger-man was doing them a favour and removing this filth from their respectable market district, and he was doing it for free no less. There was nothing the wealthy loved more, than sothing that was free.

"Sir... I don’t know where you think I am keeping this stuff. I have no bag... No cart... I don’t even have pockets! If you would just listen to reason I could-"

"Enough with the bum act! I’ve seen you hanging around here, with your little mat. I’ve seen how much money you’ve been passing around too. Bet you didn’t notice

following you around, didya?

I know you ain’t been to the bank, so I know you got it on you. Maybe I’ll just kill you and take it off your corpse. But before that... How about I take out those eyes. I hate the way they’re looking at ."

Great smirked wickedly, raising his other hand and pointing his index finger, as his claw shaped finger nail sprouted outwards a few more inches and glinted wickedly just a few inches from Midas’ eye.

Even if the pain sensors dulled everything, there was just sothing so satisfying about pulling people apart piece by piece. It made him feel complete, in a way that the real world never could.

Moving the claw closer, Great wished the pain was full. He wanted to hear this squirt whimper and cry. He wanted to hear him beg and scream. He wanted to hear him ow! Wait... what was that last one?

Frowning to himself, Great looked to his side to find a black cat sitting on the street next to him, tilting its head at him curiously. It swished its tail in amusent and owed at him again.

The next mont, sothing slamd into the back of his knee, buckling his stance and causing him to fall forwards before a thin, yet muscularly toned arm wrapped around his throat.

The arm imdiately tightened, squeezing his wind pipe shut as he was pulled into a strangling headlock.

"Hey Midas, How’s Business?" Belladonna said with a smile, leaning her head out of the way of the annoying tigers grasping hands, to make sure he didn’t try to claw her eyes out. She tightened the lock, crushing his windpipe and squeezing his throat more as she used the choked gag to confirm its effectiveness.

Midas stepped back, fixing his shirt before giving a bright and professional smile to his best investor,

"Ah, Belladonna. What a pleasure to see you. Business has been better... It seems I am already starting to attract a certain rabble."

"Yeah, but that just ans you’re getting successful right? Although it might be ti to dress up a little better and take the travelling rchant act on the road, no?"

She batted Great’s arms down as his face started to turn blue.

"I will take your suggestion into consideration. Although for that, I will need so trust worthy guards. I don’t suppose you are for hire, are you?"

Belladonna laughed as Great turned purple and his eyes rolled into the back of his head before his body turned completely limp. She gave it a few more seconds, before twisting her body and squeezing until she heard a particular ’crack’ of his spine.

"Maybe here and there, but not full ti. I have so issues of my own to focus on. I wish I knew so people to recomnd you though."

"Ah, truly a sha. Well, I will ask around. Although perhaps you might help

in so way. The na ’Baroness of Blood’ has been floating around a lot after your little spectacle, do you mind if I use it as a little... intimidating insurance?"

"Nah, go right ahead. That’s part of being an investor, right? Giving you backing and taking care of any issues that might crop up."

She said with a short laugh, gesturing to the purple faced Tiger-man in her arms before she tossed Greats body to the side, his head flopping around where he landed from his broken neck.

Midas clapped his hands, rubbing them together like a grubby fly about to dig into its al, as a wide, greed filled smile spread across his face.

"Thank you for that, by the way. But I am hoping that is not the only reason you stopped by, and that perhaps you are looking to do a little business with . Perhaps even... Dragon related business?"

Belladonna laughed at his mannerisms, and could practically feel the greed overflowing from him. Even a Sin-sucker might not be able to handle that much greed, but it was perfect for a rchant who delighted in gold.

He could probably sll the profit on her from a mile away, the little gold bloodhound.

From her reaction, Midas knew he was right, plus his nose was twitching which was always a good sign. He grabbed the ragged cloth he had tied loosely around his waist, like a makeshift belt, and yanked it off with a single tug.

He spun it around himself, like a matador fighting a bull, and then laid the rag down with his wares already sitting upon it. Wares that were far too big to have been wrapped up and around his waist.

He crouched down behind his mat, gesturing over his wares with his money hungry smile and a golden gleam in his eyes,

"So, What are you buying?"
