Chapter 362 Fools Always Flock Together (Part 2)
As per Daimon's request, the waitress and other members of the staff moved the table Daimon paid for as well as the personal catwalk, so that it would be put next to the one of the guy that approached them.
Daimon then took a seat on a couch which was in front of the catwalks, while Aisha naturally sat on his lap, making the other guy laugh as if he has found someone akin to his interests.
After that, the waitress soon returned with a couple of girls wearing provocative clothes, who started posing and dancing for the delight of the group.
The guy who approached Daimon, who turned out to be called Enzo kept drinking as if there was no tomorrow, and groping the two girls that were accompanying him, but to Daimon's surprise he didn't lay a hand on the girls putting on a show, even when they started tempting them.
"So, brother Alexander, what lucky wind brings you to Blaktr, not many people know about this entrance, and the ones who have the means to pay for private tables are even less in this isolated dirt-poor town", said Enzo with a disdaining voice.
Aisha inwardly giggled, of course Daimon wasn't going to throw dirt at his identity as Gabriel, so he presented himself as Alexander, which should be somewhere in Neptune too, originally he wanted to tarnish Adam's reputation, just to mess up with the light idiot, for the troubles he caused regarding the trust issues Jasmine's grandmother had with him, but who knows if Black Wave has something to do with Adam or Marcus.
In his mission it said there was a "legacy" he needed to steal from Adam, so there is a high chance that they had some supporters here hiding in the shadows, and this was just a side mission to get an emblem from the Minister of Development after all.
Daimon shrugged while he drank from his cup, before saying.
"I was just passing by on my way back to the capital, when I felt like having some fun, given all the things that have happened lately, those bastard pirates are giving my family a headache".
Enzo nodded, it was of common understanding that all the ones in the group were nobles, so while obviously they didn't mention to which family they were members of, they could brag about their noble status, in fact it would be weird if they didn't, since "outstanding" nobles won't come here, this was a place for the black sheep of the families to drown in debauchery.
Most of the times, because no one knows what other people do in their free time, Daimon kept chatting about random stuff with Enzo, mostly he only got to hear him or the other nobles complaining about the recent events, specially about the fact that the crowned prince, the one almost all the young generation of the kingdom admires, lost to a random guy who appeared out of nowhere.
"I bet that guy has been trained by that terrifying woman in secret, there is now way a random would fight at the level of the crowned prince humph", said one of the girls who was hugging Enzo.
"Yeah, the queen has gotten really rebellious towards the king lately, I wonder how is that affecting the royal family", added the other girl.
"Ah, don't mention that woman in front of me, last time she fined my old man for some little tax evasion, and we ended up paying twice since the bribe was already done, any middle or high ranked level family that receives a visit… no even agaze from here has really bad luck".
Daimon interestingly listened to the opinions the nobles had about Annete, it's not that he likes the gossips, but the fact that the queen isn't liked by the upper echelon of the noble houses is important.
Because the guy who is behind the pirates and Skelefiends joining hands, is one scheming bastard, he looks for the weaknesses of others and exploits them, and a non-unified kingdom is easier to destroy, not to mention the panic and chaos that being attacked in broad daylight has caused on the citizens of the kingdom.
'Well, that explains why they all left to do preparations, in case that king guy isn't up to the task, they will have to keep it together by themselves', thought Daimon.
Enzo looked at the bottle he and his companions were drinking from which was now empty and he called as he was about to order some snacks and more drinks, the waitress of before approached them with an ashamed expression on her face, she bowed her head towards Daimon before saying.
"Excuse me dear customer… one of the girls that is dancing for you was requested by another client, would it be okay if I take her, of course you'll receive a discount for the troubles".
Daimon inwardly smirked, this was the chance he was aiming for from the very beginning, he purposedly showed to be wealthy, and got a private table, the best treatment one could get besides the VIP zone, so if someone wanted to have his entertainment, then it had to be someone who was considered a better client than him by the club.
'These guys are so easy to read, I'm a newcomer with money, so they want to "teach" me they are better', he thought, before saying.
"No, I already paid for this service, why the hell should I let some bastard interrupt my fun?, said Daimon with an annoyed voice.
The poor waitress felt trapped between the sword and the wall, she had to call one of the managers of the place, a tall man with a scar on his left eye which blinded it.
"Excuse us dear client, but one of these girls was personally requested by a VIP, in fact she shouldn't have appeared here so…".
Daimon didn't leave the guy finish his sentence; he interrupted him with a pompous voice.
"So the problem is money, you should have said so from the very beginning instead of interrupting my fun, so how much is it?".
The scarred guy frowned, spoiled kids like the one he was dealing with appeared from time to time, so he has learned how to take care of them, simply telling them the price to be considered a VIP would scare them away and make them realize their real standing.
"One million sea crystals per person", he said with a triumphant smile… which didn't last long as he was handed a ring.
The manager inspected the contents and he took a breath of cold air, inside there were about ten million sea crystals, it was enough to pay for the whole group in these two tables to join the VIP area for the night.
'Damn it, a direct descendant of a Marquess or a distant relative of a Duke maybe, this is going to be a headache, why are these big fishes coming to our entrance lately', thought the manager.
Normal members of the young generation wouldn't have such amounts of money to waster, nobles included, only the upper echelon could afford to do so, so that lead the manager to believe Daimon was one.
"The amount is more than enough but… I still advice this young master to reconsider, showing face to the one requesting that specific lady", said the manager.
Daimon didn't pay any attention to the manager he got up, and beckoned at the girl who seemed to be the origin of all this trouble, to follow him as he walked towards a red door which led to the VIP area, not without calling Enzo.
"Everyone's entrance has been covered, come".
Enzo laughed and his group followed Daimon, leaving a troubled manager who sent some messages through his mirror plate.
…
The red door led to a large corridor that ended after a five minute walk, making Daimon wonder how large was this underground space, he also could perceive some space laws which made him realize this place was more than what met the eye.
'It seems our luck is good darling~', said Aisha directly to Daimon's mind.
'Yeah, the small fish gave some information and the it also baited a bigger fish, let's see if we can catch the shark as well', answered Daimon.
Unlike the previous lewd scenery, the VIP area was way calmer, but it was only like that on the surface, Daimon and the others arrived at what could be described as a complex with many doors and a huge living room.
The first thing that caught Daimon's attention was that there were transport arrays, a lot of them which led to different places, the second thing he noticed was the though faint, noticeable for him smell of blood coming from some of the doors of the complex, that explained why Brandon told him the places frequented by that woman might be too much for the princesses to handle, it was a den of degenerates.
Daimon looked at the girl who was the origin of the animosity and he brought her and Aisha to one of the empty rooms, Enzo and the others took their own ways, since this was a place to make one's hidden desires true in secret, so the privacy was better.
Why was Daimon so keen in keeping this girl with him and clashing with whoever was requesting her you ask, it's not because she is pretty which is indeed case, but because of the sea magic beast traits she had.
Though Rita crushed the female assassin to death when she was using a disguise, Daimon still saw her true appearance with his infinity eyes, it was a member of the angel fish clan, a family whose female members are considered outstanding in beauty terms, among the people of the four seas.
Unfortunately, that didn't bring them prosperity, their family lost their noble status and many were of course turned into slaves for entertainment, forcing the surviving members to escape to the Maelstrom Sea.
How does Daimon know this, because the Black Empress casually mentioned that the captain of the Silver Down pirates with whom she had an agreement, is also a member of that race.
And just like that female assassin and the woman Thea knows about, this girl is part of that race, a mixed though but still it outstood from the others that worked entertaining the clients, if anything she was confused by the waitress due to her mixed race, but Daimon recognized here since he entered the club.
In other words from the very beginning, he selected a bait with the same characteristics as the female assassin.
'An arch rank can basically have almost any woman he likes, yet that guy got infatuated with a random assassin aspirant, if Black Wave is such a big organization their assassins shouldn't be that lax, so either he is an idiot or he's got some serious fetish over the female members of the angel fish clan, and if that's the case then…'.
As Daimon expected, his thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking at the door, the girl was dancing for him and Aisha, but he honestly wasn't even looking, and instead he was thinking if maybe the assassin was as stupid as to come all the way here just to get the girl he wanted.
Daimon opened the door and he was greeted with the sight of some shady guys wearing black robes.
"Good evening, little friend, our master has asked us to invite you to the VIP area of the Forest Fang town, as your tastes seem to be of the highest level, which is something our master values, of course everything will be paid by our master", said one of the guys as he looked at the girl from the angel fish clan.
Daimon grinned and he "innocently" accepted going into the wolf's den, the town mentioned by the guy was one of his priority spots to visit, because not only it was on the border of the continent, but it had a couple of the areas perfect to get rid of evidences mentioned by Brandon, he left it for second or third, because they haven't been used.
"Sure, sounds fun", said Daimon, he left the room not without sending Thea a message, to tell her to go to the Forest Fang town and prepare in case something happened.
Daimon and the others arrived at the many transport arrays installed on the ground, and he couldn't help but wonder, how many nobles made business with this place, the number should be high enough for them to make their private circuit, though all of them led to towns which weren't really cared about by the kingdom.
'This is also a perfect way for assassins to move, no one here asks for identity and with money you can move around easily, Annete is going to love getting this information', thought Daimon as he jumped into the array alongside Aisha, the girl he was using as bait and the group of shady guys.
They soon appeared at the other side of the array, the design was similar to the VIP area where they were before, but Daimon could notice here the atmosphere was worse, there were even screams coming from some of the private rooms, which had soundproof arrays installed, so the fact that they could heard them, meant it was done on purpose.
A voice coming from upstairs drew Daimon's attention.
"I heard from the staff that a young friend with refined tastes, such as me appeared, welcome to the Blaktr of Forest Fang town, I'm the manager Pablo".
Daimon raised his head to see the origin of the voice and he has the urge to laugh out loud, the guy who was talking was wearing a mask and a robe, but with his infinity eyes he could see the three horizontal black wave tattoo he had.
Not only that, but the prize this time might be bigger than what Daimon expected, because he recognized a couple of guys that were "casually" standing near the guy, feigning to be clients, though disguised they were among the pirates that assisted Black Beard.
Which reminded him, that Black Beard participated in the ambush against the captain of the Silver Dawn pirates along with Sting.
'I guess fools always flock together', he thought.
