209 Sister Aleera

Alera turned red and looked away. Kadyn scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. Although he wanted to see, ahem, inside the brothel, he decided to leave; he had no intention to become a pervert in the eyes of such a beauty.

However, just as they were about to leave, a commotion broke out in the distance. Kadyn turned and found that a young man was dragging a woman out of the brothel. He exchanged glances with Alera and walked towards the gathering crowd.

"You dare to ask money from me!" said the man as he kicked the woman. "Do you know who I am?"

The woman gritted her teeth as she was kicked in her belly. She looked at the man and said fiercely, "No matter who you are, you will pay for this."

He again slapped her. Blood dripped from the corner of her lips, palm-print etched on her beautiful face and her hair were ragged. By now, a group of women walked out of the brothel. "How dare you hit our sister?" said a woman who walked at the very front. She was a gorgeous woman with blond hair and curvy body. She had a slim waist and her boobs were heaving up and down as she glared at the man furiously. 

Behind her many other women were standing. 

Many of them were elves and demi-human. Even dwarves were amongst them. This brothel was indeed taking care of everyone's needs. No discrimination. Nonetheless it caught Kadyn's attention. If someone was able to build a brothel with so many races, he must be someone very powerful.

"Who are—" the boy was about to shout but stopped halfway through, when he spotted the woman, who had spoken just now. His eyes lit up, and he stared at her red lips and licked his own lips pervertedly. He was quite handsome, but that smile destroyed his image completely.

The blond woman frowned. "You can't hit any woman in our brothel. Now you have to pay for disturbing the atmosphere and for the service of our brothel. Five thousand Shim."

"What did you say?" the man jumped in fury. "Wasn't it just a thousand Shim?"

"Are you stupid or something?" the woman said. Her husky voice echoing like music. "Didn't I say that you need to pay for disturbing the atmosphere of our brothel? Actually, I think five thousand is not enough. Who would pay for her healing fees? Ten thousand."

"Who the hell do you think you are to say that to me?" His expression became fierce. "Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

The man left stumped. He looked at the woman and hesitated, but when he remembered that they were just courtesans he replied proudly, "My brother is a student in the World Magic Alliance Academy—"

"Break his limbs," said the woman before the boy could finish, "and take all the money from him before throwing him away."

"Wha—what?!"

The two women walked out when the man was still bewildered. They curled their lips disdainfully, looking at him. 

"Wha-what are you trying to do?" No one replied to him. 

One of the women went to support the injured woman, and another attacked the man. He tried to resist but then he realized that he could not move. He had frozen. Soon the sound of bone-breaking reverberated in the surrounding area. The curses and threats became whimpering and pleading, but the woman showed no mercy. The screams sent chills through many people's spine. Everyone looked at those women with terrified expression.

The man was just a rank 2 mage, while the woman was rank 3. He could not do a thing, other than accepting his fate. After ten minutes thrashing only painful moans escaped from his mouth. Only then did the women from the brothel left.

"Wow!" Kadyn said. "Never thought I would see such a sight here."

"Their leader was rank 4 mage, and I don't think that she is the owner of the brothel. They have powerful backing," Alera said.

Kadyn nodded in agreement. He could also tell that this brothel was not as simple as it looked at first. Though he didn't know much about World Magic Alliance Academy, just its name was enough to tell the force behind it. However, even after hearing that 'his' brother was a student in the academy those women didn't show any mercy.

"I have to give the report about this to big sister Aleera," said the woman with blond hair. "It would be difficult for us to deal with someone from the World Magic Alliance Academy, otherwise." She looked at the woman who was beaten by the man. Now she was already healed. She nodded and left.

After that she arrived in a chamber and took out a mirror from her space ring. She poured mana inside the mirror and it started to glow. Soon an image of a woman appeared on its surface.

"What happened, Arba?" asked Aleera. She had charming green eyes and black hair. Her otherworldly beauty could vibrate the cords of anyone's heart. No matter man or woman. Arba was no exception. She was lost when she Aleera, coming to her senses only when Aleera spoke.

Arba then told what happened from start to end, leaving nothing. "Do you think he was sent by your enemy?"

"I don't think he was sent by someone from the Assembly. They won't give such a task to someone stupid like him," said Aleera. "Anyway, don't let your guards down. We can't be sure about it. Those old fogies are too despicable.

Arba shivered when she heard Aleera calling them old fogies. Those people were the strongest mages in the world. They ruled the Vrilas. They ruled the world. However, in Aleera's eyes they were old and despicable.

"Ah, yes, sister Aleera," said Arba. "I will not let my guard down. But what if they try to disturb our business in other districts?"

Aleera looked at Arba and curled her lips. "You are not the only rank 4 mage under me. Have you already forgotten who I am?" And then the figure inside the mirror vanished.
