458: An Lei's Indenture

Chapter 457: An Lei's Contract of Indentured Servitude

Several minutes later, a high-grade military Magical Vehicle stopped at the entrance of the Red House.

Luo Lin's eyes lit up, instantly recognizing that a big customer had arrived. She immediately ran outside, personally greeting him with a fawning expression.

Ordinary soldiers would absolutely not be qualified to ride a high-grade Magical Vehicle. The person sitting inside would be at least a Lieutenant (wei) rank officer.

It was also strange to say, Magical Vehicles basically only appeared in the Inner City. High-ranking officers were not short on money at all and disdained coming to a cheap Courtesan House.

This was like a billionaire, dressed in a suit and tie, going to eat at a street stall, and ordering only the cheapest discounted dishes.

Although she was confused, Luo Lin did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent. What if he occasionally wanted to try a different flavor?

Having been a Courtesan House owner for so many years, Luo Lin was experienced. She knew that some people had very special fetishes.

Even an old woman with a plump figure like her would occasionally be favored and forced to receive guests.

The car door opened, and Dick, wearing a military officer's uniform, slowly got out. Xiao Nai followed closely behind, her face flushed with unnatural redness.

Luo Lin was stunned. She had thought that the person getting out would be a middle-aged man with a full beard and a raspy voice.

Dick's handsome and youthful face was exactly like a student who was still studying, secretly wearing his father's uniform and running out to play.

But under the professional quality of a Courtesan House owner, Luo Lin quickly reacted and respectfully said, "officer, are you..."

"Having dinner."

After speaking, Dick pulled Xiao Nai and walked into the Red House, ignoring the flirtatious glances cast by more than a dozen courtesans along the way.

Luo Lin was a little confused. Although the Courtesan House also provided meals, guests usually only came here for one thing.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Luo Lin felt that Dick must be here for the first time and was a little embarrassed, so he just casually used "having dinner" as an excuse.

After arriving at the most luxurious private room in the Red House, Dick waited quietly, but Xiao Nai beside him was a little restless.

"Dick... You really just came to find someone, right?"

Xiao Nai's question was simply humiliating. He was already struggling to deal with the women around him, how could he possibly have the energy to come out for pleasure?

Dick did not answer but instead pursed his lips and rolled his eyes at Xiao Nai.

Not long after, led by Luo Lin, several beautiful women in revealing clothing entered the private room carrying dishes, and each of them circled around Dick.

An Lei came in last. She was carrying bottles of fine wine and did not interact with Dick, only burying her head in pouring wine, her presence extremely low.

Unlike the seductive charm of the courtesans, An Lei wore a simple short robe, her chest flat, and coupled with short hair just past her ears, she looked like a young boy.

Dick did not care about An Lei's appearance. What he cared about was only An Lei's identity information.

「Name」: Anlei K. Lynch

「Race」: Human, Female.

「Age」: 20 years old.

「Profession」: Magical Potion Master, Level 11.

「Talents」: Potion Power Amplification (Low-grade), Refining Correction (Low-grade), Derivative Consciousness (Low-grade)... Hero · Magical Potion Master.

「Recent Encounters」: Mother's illness suddenly worsened, currently worrying about high medical expenses.

「Current Status」: ...

As expected, she had awakened the Hero's luck. Dick knew his judgment was correct. Although An Lei was not a top prodigy, she was at Jack's level.

Without receiving System education, she had awakened so many talents just by self-study, which was enough to show An Lei's extraordinary nature.

"Everyone get out," Dick didn't waste words and directly ordered, "The one pouring wine stays."

Hearing this, the courtesans showed surprise, and An Lei even trembled her hand, spilling wine on the table.

She never expected that one day she would also be named by a guest!

Luo Lin was the first to react and quickly explained to Dick with a smile, "officer, she's just a helper, not one of the girls in the shop..."

It wasn't that Luo Lin was helping An Lei; she was just afraid of poor service angering Dick and thus dragging down the Red House.

An Lei had never received a guest, had not even been trained, and had zero experience. Moreover, the Red House was legally operated and had never forced good people into prostitution...

Dick gently shook his head, took a gold note from Xiao Nai's pocket, and casually threw it to Luo Lin.

"Take your time and have fun. We won't disturb you any further!"

Luo Lin clenched the gold note in her hand, overjoyed, while the courtesans next to her stared with wide eyes.

This was a gold note issued by the Elf Gold Firm! The minimum denomination was 1000 gold coins, which was enough to book the entire Red House for a month.

Let alone An Lei, even if Luo Lin were told to go to the street and grab a young girl on the spot, she would probably take the risk.

Even An Lei herself was stunned. In all the years she had worked as a helper in the Courtesan House, this was the first time she had seen such an act of "spending a fortune."

Such things usually only happened in high-end Courtesan Houses in the Inner City, a treatment that only top courtesans could enjoy.

But after the shock, An Lei still hurried forward and whispered, "Auntie Luo Lin, I... I promised my mother I wouldn't be a courtesan!"

"Tsk, silly child," Luo Lin lifted An Lei's headscarf and stroked her bangs. "Don't you want your mother to rest? Don't you want your mother to take better magical potions? Serve this officer well, and you'll have everything!"

Hearing Luo Lin's advice, An Lei's face showed struggle as she wavered between principles and reality.

Actually, An Lei didn't look down on the profession of courtesan at all, after all, her mother did this line of work.

Not stealing, robbing, or cheating, earning money by working hard with her own ability, just like adventurers, all striving for life.

She glanced at Dick, who was handsome, tall, elegant, and wealthy, and his military rank seemed not low...

Such a person wouldn't be a bad choice for a first time. It was better than those fat, greasy, lewd rough men.

Of course, the most important thing was that An Lei really needed money now!

Because just last night, her mother's illness had inexplicably worsened, and she was currently unable to work, on the verge of death.

The low-level healing potions she made had minimal effect. Her mother needed magical potions of intermediate level or higher, and working as a helper in the Courtesan House couldn't earn that much money.

"I'm willing," An Lei let out a light breath, turned to look at Dick, and said seriously, "But I am not a courtesan of the Red House. You can trade directly with me and give me the gold note..."

An Lei knew clearly that Luo Lin would not give her much money afterward. Out of the 1000 gold coins worth of the gold note, she could swallow 990 gold coins!

Although she came from a humble background, An Lei never felt inferior. Her first time should not be worth only a few gold coins.

Since that was the case, wouldn't it be wonderful to trade directly with Dick and avoid the middleman earning the difference?

"An Lei!!! Don't forget who has been taking care of you and your mother all these years. If it weren't for me, you would have died on the street long ago..."

Luo Lin roared. She couldn't imagine that the usually meek An Lei would say such rebellious words at this moment.

"Hmph," An Lei snorted coldly, not backing down at all. "Rent, food, medicine... Which of these did our mother and daughter owe the Red House? Your care was not selfless, it was just business!"

This was the first time Luo Lin had been contradicted by An Lei. At this moment, she felt she had lost face greatly, especially in front of a distinguished guest.

Just as Luo Lin was about to curse, Dick chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll trade with you. Take it."

With that, Dick gently placed a stack of gold notes into An Lei's hand.

Not one or two, but a stack! Looking at the thickness, there were dozens of gold notes!

With Dick's current financial resources, this was just the tip of the iceberg, but for others, it was absolutely shocking and outrageously rich!

Luo Lin and the courtesans were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Their greed was no longer suppressible at this moment.

"officer, my techniques are very good, I can do any difficult posture..."

"Look at me, such a beautiful shape, and it's all natural, where else can you find it..."

"Just try it, just try it. If you're not satisfied, you won't be charged..."

Dick was too lazy to talk nonsense and said coldly, "Except for An Lei, all of you get out! I don't want to repeat myself a third time!"

At the same time, Dick also released magical power pressure, which was specially strengthened by magic to maximize fear in people.

"Eek~!"

As expected, Luo Lin and the courtesans instantly regained their senses. The will to survive suppressed their greed, and they dared not say anything more, fleeing the private room in a panic.

Looking up, Dick looked at An Lei, who was frozen in place. She still maintained the posture of catching the gold notes, the shock on her face not diminishing in the slightest.

Snap!

Dick gently snapped his fingers. Xiao Nai immediately closed her legs tightly and straightened her body, because she had just drunk a lot of fruit wine.

However, Dick did not activate the joint movement. He just simply snapped his fingers to bring An Lei back from her shock.

"What? Another feint..."

"Hmm?"

"No, nothing..."

Dick ignored Xiao Nai and looked at An Lei, saying slowly, "So, has our trade been established?"

"Established! Absolutely established!"

Afraid that Dick would go back on his word, An Lei immediately crossed her arms and pulled off her short robe, revealing her somewhat thin body.

To Xiao Nai's jealousy, An Lei was not "plain and unremarkable"; she was actually quite well-endowed, at least at Alice's level. She usually relied on a chest binder to hide it.

After all, working in a Courtesan House, if you didn't want to be targeted, you had to have some protective measures!

"Stop, don't take it off."

Hearing this, An Lei tilted her head, somewhat confused. "You, you like to keep your clothes on?"

"You're thinking too much, An Lei. I'm not interested in your body. I'm only interested in your talent!"

Dick shook his head, took out a thick stack of contract documents from the inner pocket of his robe, and handed them to An Lei, saying, "You can take a look first. We'll sign it at the military camp later."

"What is this...?" An Lei took the contract documents, looking blankly at the dense writing on them.

She actually couldn't read. Her hard life didn't allow her time to go to school, and her mother, a courtesan, was also illiterate.

"Heh heh, simply put, this is your contract of indentured servitude!"
