Chapter 146.Ragan’s Capture
''So he's a slave trader?'' Jake asked, sitting on a couch.
''Yes,'' replied the thin boy absently. Keg was kneeling on the floor with a lost gaze on his face.
About half an hour had passed since Jake finished fucking Bella and Ella.
They were inside a guest room on the 2nd floor. Erin was feeding her master some alcohol, sitting beside him. She had just returned after scouring the whole town for brothels.
''Hmm,'' Jake stroked his chin with his fingers and glanced at the mayor who was standing behind the tramp.
''I know about this Ragan, milord. He has bribed me multiple times,'' Lombard stood straight and said.
''I see.'' Jake sipped the beer from the cup which Erin held.
''Go bring him here. I should know what plans this slave trader had for my centaurs,'' Jake ordered, waving his left hand.
''Yes, milord. I'll tell the patrolling knights to catch him in the slums. I know exactly where he hides his slaves.'' The mayor bowed.
Catching Keg who was under the effect of [Malefic Enchantment], he quickly made his way outside the guest room.
''Master.'' Sitting on his lap as always, Erin placed her palm on his chest and brought the alcohol cup near his lips.
After Jake sipped the remaining liquid on it, she leaned forward and put the cup on the table.
''I found three brothels in total. Two in the southern district and one in the eastern district.''
''Not bad, looks like we'll be leaving a bit late tomorrow. I have- Oh?'' Jake looked toward the door and snapped his fingers.
The closed door opened, allowing Ruxa and Perry to enter. They were wearing nightwear. Even in casual clothes and the rather dim light of this room, both women looked stunning.
''Master, you must be tired,'' Perry said, walking up to him. Ruxa followed her.
The priestess sat gracefully on his left and took one of his hands. The gorgon went behind him and massaged his shoulders.
Of course, Jake wasn't really tired. But he didn't interrupt them.
''What were you about to say?'' Erin asked with interest.
Jake turned to her and chuckled. ''I'm thinking of letting the sluts out on the streets tomorrow.''
''And?''
Jake stood up hearing that. He went toward the window and looked at the dark town. When he turned around, the faint moonlight cast shades on his handsome face.
''And making men who see the prostitutes fuck them in public. Those who don't follow get executed on spot.''
…
''Hah… Hah… Hide, I must hide!'' Ragan stumbled as he ran toward the ends of the slums.
He could hear the shouts of patrolling knights searching all over for him.
The order to capture him had alerted the criminal groups in the slums. They wanted to be unrelated to this as much as possible.
Previously, the bosses of these criminal groups would buy slaves from Ragan at discounted prices, but now they acted as if they didn't know him.
Indeed, in the world of criminals, betrayal was the most common practice.
Actually, several criminals were helping the knights to find out where the slave trader was. All to get the mayor's favor. As an ex-gangster, Lombard's way of ruling the town was by force. If they got in the mayor's good graces, their gang would get more benefits in the town.
Most of the knights under Lombard were from his gang. They were just as ferocious as any criminal out there and had sinned just as much as the others.
Hunted by more than 30 people like this, who were adept in fleeing themselves, it didn't take long for someone to find Ragan.
Actually, they found him this quickly because of Keg, who was with a knight. After being ordered around by the slave trader for two years, the boy knew what areas Ragan considered safe.
It was ironic that the tramp he used to gather information around became the reason for his capture.
After one knight found him, the slave trader tried running into confusing alleys.
''He's there!''
''Quick, go the other way!''
But once the messages about his location spread, the other knights immediately surrounded the area and caught the slave trader.
Ragan struggled but he was only as strong as a normal man. It was only because of his diplomatic skills, and bribery that he survived among criminals.
When threatened, he immediately caved in like a coward and went with the knights.
They returned to the mansion in a short time. Once the knights had brought Ragan, the mayor went upstairs to inform.
''Bring him here,'' Jake said, sitting leisurely among the beauties.
''As you wish,'' Lombard bowed and went back. Standing at the balcony, he waved at the men in the hall below.
One of the knights kicked the slave trader's back, making the man stumble.
''Move!''
Ragan couldn't understand why they had to be so violent. Then he remembered the way he treated his slaves and went silent.
Climbing the stairs, he reached the second floor and stood outside the guest room, regretting everything he had done.
''Enter.'' A deep voice came from the inside.
It made Ragan shiver somehow. He knew it must be someone high-ranked.
''Hmph!'' Lombard forcefully pushed him, and he fell inside.
Ragan adjusted to the light inside as he lifted his head up. The first thing he saw was a tall man with a dominating aura.
The slave trader then noticed the beautiful women sitting on his thighs. The man's hands were groping their assets and they seemed comfortable with it.
''Ah~''
''Master, here~''
Ragan gulped seeing Jake's large hand squeezing Perry's bare thigh. He blinked as Ruxa's breasts flattened on this man's chest. Envy sprouted on Ragan's heart, but fear quickly took over it when Erin noticed him drooling.
''Well, what do we have here? A beastkin?'' Jake spared the slave trader a glance.
''Y-Yes…'' Ragan tried his best to speak.
''Who told you to speak, boy?'' Erin narrowed her gaze, making Ragan's blood run cold.
However, her expression quickly turned docile as Jake spanked her. Erin's ass sounded good when slapped. Jake grabbed it and told her not to use her powers.
''I'm sorry, master~'' Erin apologized in a naughty tone. Seeing her inviting gaze, Jake could tell she liked it.
He was about to kiss her lips, but he remembered there was an insect here. Jake turned to Ragan and looked at him with interest.
''Speak your excuses,'' he ordered, sounding magnanimous. ''If you want your head on your shoulders, convince me that you can be of some use.''
