RISE OF EROS

The days passed and the Heavenly Palace received more and more customers. Although the renovations had not yet been completed, the appeal of the establishment was growing.

Aki and Marie along with the other Shadow members had finished investigating the region entrusted by Oliver and although they found some troublesome characters, they were not really a threat to the Heavenly Palace.

Despite not being a substantial threat, Oliver was not negligent and kept watch on them, in order to not be caught off guard. Soon the day of completion of the remodel arrived and Oto approached Andrew.

"Mr. Andrew, everything went according to plan and by the end of tomorrow all the repairs will be finished," reported Oto and Andrew could not have been more pleased, because it was time to make a quality leap.

After seeing Oto off, Andrew called Carolina, Helena, Oliver Aki, and Marie to inform them of the good news and make preparations. Everyone was happy to hear that the establishment would soon be finished and discussed future plans.

Details about the staff in both the entertainment section and the general section had already been reported by Carolina and Helena, so this time, Oliver also proposed expanding the number of guards.

Andrew immediately agreed, as now the establishment was larger and would be heading to a high-end pleasure house, so security had to be guaranteed.

There was also the matter of Baron Castal's son that would visit the place next week, although the baron had not notified the details yet, they had to be prepared.

With everything discussed, Andrew in the company of Helena and Oliver left for Madanes's house, Silver Moon. This establishment was located in the busiest part of the commercial region of the city.

It was a fairly spacious six-story building with elegant architecture that showed that it was a high-end establishment. Upon entering, this aspect stood out, since the floors and walls were made of polished marble and the elegant and expensive decorations could be seen throughout the place.

Once at the reception, a middle-aged man, neatly dressed with an elegant and cordial demeanor, approached them greeting, "Welcome to the Silver Moon, I am Mondo and I will be your escort today. How can I help you?".

"Thank you for the warm welcome, I'm Andrew and I'm looking for some dancers," Andrew replied politely. Mondo is a man who has years of experience in this business and just by looking at Andrew he knew what he was up to.

He not only sensed that but also identified Helena as Andrew's partner and Oliver as the bodyguard without Andrew saying anything. Mondo nodded to Andrew's words and politely asked them to follow him.

The four of them came to a small secluded room on the first floor and he invited them to sit down. After settling in on the sofas in the room, Mondo began to do his job.

"Mr. Andrew, regarding your application, I would like to ask a few things," to which Andrew replied, "Go ahead." Mondo took out a small notebook and asked, "I would like to know the characteristics you are looking for in your dancers, the quantity, and the budget."

Andrew thought for a moment, but before answering, he asked a few questions, "Mr. Mondo, I would like to know first what the Silver Moon has to offer."

Mondo nodded and with a cordial smile began his explanation, "The Silver Moon has different girls, with different abilities. For those focused on dance, there are 3 price ranges, depending on their ability to dance, beauty, and sexual expertise.

The man paused, and after seeing Andrew motion for him to continue, he continued speaking, "From 50 to 200 small gold coins, they are the lowest grade, girls still inexperienced in some aspects, from 201 to 2,000 small gold coins are skilled girls and great beauties and finally, our best products exceed 2,000 small gold coins."

Mondo paused again and continued, "These last ladies are ladies very skilled in dance and breathtaking beauties, but you'll understand we don't have large numbers of them."

It was impressive how Mondo talked about girls as if they were just any product, but Andrew had already adjusted and didn't mind the way he was expressing himself.

After thinking for a few seconds, Andrew decided to spend a little, since he was not short of money at the time, so he said, "Well, Mr. Mondo, I need to buy 15 dancers and as a budget, I have 5,000 small gold coins."

Andrew decided to invest a quarter of his money in the dancers, as he knew that he could make the money back pretty quickly when the Heavenly Palace opened its new entertainment section.

Helena who was next to him did not say anything when she heard the amount that Andrew intended to spend, since they had already discussed the issue before and had agreed on that amount.

Mondo, on the other hand, was surprised by Andrew's words, because in his initial evaluation, he believed that Andrew would only buy 3 to 5 ballerinas and he assumed that they would be the cheapest.

He was glad to hear the unexpected opportunity that opened before him because it was not a tiny sale at all and he quickly went to the shelf that was in the room and took a rather thick book from there.

He handed the book to Andrew and said, "This is the catalog of girls at our disposal, there you can see the classification, price, and appearance of the girls." Andrew took the book and opened it a certain way so that Helena could see it too.

Andrew didn't know how the photos in this book had been taken, but he didn't care. In the book each page had two pictures of each girl in full body in different poses that occupied half of the page and below them were some stars, a small description of her abilities, and the price.

The lowest value girl in the book was worth 200 small gold coins and the most expensive one was worth 2,500 small gold coins. Andrew had to admit that they were all wonderful, but the more expensive, the better qualities they had.

The stars represented her qualification in dance skills, beauty, and sexual training. None of them had less than three stars in all categories and those were the cheapest.

Andrew and Helena reviewed the entire book carefully and thoroughly evaluated all the options. Despite the time it was taking, Mondo didn't interrupt them, because he knew that for a big deal like the one he was doing, the client had to take his time.

After about half an hour, Andrew and Helena had made up their minds about which girls to buy. The maximum score in the book for a girl was 5 stars, but they were very expensive, so they decided to buy 15 3-star girls, but with different prices ranging from 200 to 400 small gold coins each.

The book didn't list the girls' names, but a number, so he informed Mondo what numbers he wanted and Mondo wrote them down in his notebook. "Please, Mr. Andrew, wait a moment while I arrange the girls for evaluation," Mondo said as he stood up.

Mondo left the office and a few seconds later another man entered, holding a tray with a teapot and 3 cups. He poured out the three cups of tea and said, "Take a break with some tea while you wait, dear customer," and then left.

Despite the fact that Oliver did not take a seat, nor did he intend to drink tea, since the waiter had served him a cup, Andrew invited him to sit down and although he did not want to, he accepted after Andrew's insistence.

15 minutes later Mondo returned to the room and said, "I'm so sorry for the wait. If Mr. Andrew and his companions will kindly follow me," to which Andrew, Helena, and Oliver nodded and followed him.

Mondo led them to another room at the back of the establishment. The room was considerably larger than the previous one. There was a wide and comfortable sofa with a small stage in front of it and after sitting down, a door opened at one side of the room and a girl entered.

They recognized her instantly, as she was one of the girls they had selected. Her skin was tanned, her hair was short, and her face was very beautiful. She was wearing a set of clothes that covered her curves very little and after a little bow the girl began to dance.

Although her dance was sensual, Andrew was a little disappointed, because it was not as erotic as he imagined. Still, he couldn't deny that, with the right music and movements, she just had to have a little practice and she would go up several levels.

He had already talked to Fluffy about this problem and he knew that in the system there was an object called a projection orb, which in a few words was like a DVD player because he could buy different discs in the system with videos from erotic dances to porn movies and reproduced in it.

Although it was a bit expensive, Andrew was confident that he would have enough points next week when Aki's scar healed completely and he could go crazy with his three wives.

After the girl finished her performance, she left the room and another girl entered. This pattern was repeated 15 times and all the girls chosen by Andrew had come forward.

When the last of them finished her presentation, Mondo approached and with a cordial smile asked, "Did the dancers please the gentleman?", to which Andrew replied, "I am satisfied. Let's close the deal."

Mondo wasted no time and immediately pulled out a contract where he listed the 15 girls, their prices, and the transaction specifications. Andrew carefully read the contract, to avoid any gaps and when he verified that everything was in order, he signed it and took the money from his dimensional bag.
