Why is he looking at me like--
Spuuuurt~
… Oh, he's orgasming… Can you not look at me while you're doing that?
I felt a pair of hands reach around and turned my head away from the sight, only for me to be pulled into Amber's bosoms.
"Can you not look at her like that? She's not your fap material." Amber growled.
He chuckled, "Is she yours then?"
"Damn right she is," Amber admitted proudly.
He then reached out and patted his bodyguard's head, the woman pulling back and leaving a bridge of saliva mixed with his seed still connecting between her lips to the guy's member.
He didn't even bother putting his pants on properly and stood up, prompting her to start helping him put it back on unbidden.
In the meantime, he was facing us with his arms outstretched, "I know what we can bet on that would definitely interest you!"
I struggled to free myself from Amber's chest, "Why are you so keen on betting though?"
He laughed and turned to his bodyguard again , "Ahaha! Look, Midori! Isn't she funny?"
"Of course," she replied, still with a deadpan face.
Seriously, I can't even tell if this bodyguard of his likes or hates him. Or maybe she just really doesn't give a crap?
He faced me once more, "I have everything I need. My enjoyment comes from seeing how others would act in positions I put them in! It's always interesting to see how different people will react to each situation! Of course, time is Credits, so I offer Credits in exchange for the time that you give me for the entertainment!"
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Placing bets isn't payment though? You might as well just pay me for it instead of making bets."
"Ah, but I would argue my time is worth more Credits, right? What would I get if you end up winning but I don't get entertained? I lose both money and time! That is not worth it for me! That's why we make it a bet to make it worthwhile!"
I don't even know how that logic works… But I can see that he wholeheartedly believes that.
I shrugged, "Alright, but why us? Just because we won your Battle Royale?"
He clapped his hands together, "Of course! Out of several hundred people that are dropped in a location, there is only one team that stands at the top in the end! For them to be able to reach there either by luck, skill or deceit, that's a testament that they have something the other participants don't have! Those are the people who would be the most interesting to make such bets with me, don't you think?"
Fair enough…
"And what if we refuse?" I asked.
He shrugged, "I would feel disappointed but nothing would happen of course~"
The way he said those words made me believe that it definitely wouldn't be nothing if we just walked away.
He probably wouldn't do anything to us directly but unless we intend to never come back to this place, it might not be a good idea to reject him completely.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
I sighed internally, knowing that this was the norm when you are facing people who are above you in the social hierarchy.
"What kind of bet do you have in mind then?"
Linc turned back to his bodyguard again, "Look at that, Midori, isn't it nice when they know when to stop being stubborn?"
"Of course."
Seriously, what kind of relationship is this? I feel like this isn't just as simple as a boss and his bodyguard anymore.
He smiled at me, "Have you gone to the Sex District of the station?"
God damnit… I think I already know where this is going…
"No, I have not," I admitted.
His smile got wider and he gestured towards me, "Shall we make a bet related to that?"
"What do you want to do with that?"
His gaze switched to the other girls on my side, "Can I assume that you are all sleeping together?"
I shook my head, "Errr… No, we're not."
"Not yet," Amber added while giggling behind me.
I decided not to say anything about that.
"Oohh~ I knew you would be interesting! Aren't they interesting, Midori?" Linc chuckled, turning back to his bodyguard again.
"Of course."
"Then this idea of mine would be perfect for you! I'm going to bet… Ah, there's four of you so… I suppose ten million Credits each? Yes! Forty million Credits! I shall bet forty million Credits on this!"
I blinked, "Forty million Credits that we would… What?"
"Ahahaha! The four of you shall go to the Sex District and spend at least four hours in there! The bet is that each of you would end up having sex with someone else outside of your group while you're in there! If you can go through the entire four hours without touching anyone else sexually while you're there, you win!"
I frowned, "And what if someone else forces themselves onto us? We would still lose the moment they touch us, wouldn't we?"
"Oh wow! You are indeed smart! Isn't she smart, Midori?"
"Of course."
"Ahahaha~ Yes, it would be a little unfair wouldn't it? In that case, you have my express permission to fight back against anyone who might try to force themselves on you! But if you fail to do so and they end up raping you or have you give in, it would be counted as a loss!"
"That doesn't even remotely help, does it?" I protested. "They would be able to fight as well and if a brawl starts, we'd end up having to fight everyone."
The woman who had guided us here chuckled behind me.
Damn, I actually forgot she was there… She's even still naked and in the same pose as before.
"Violence is not allowed in the Sex District, dear guest. If anyone is acting violently there, they would immediately be caught and thrown out of the station. Although… There are specific sections that allow it of course so I would stay away from those sections if I were you~"
I turned back to him, "So… If you're allowing us to fight back…"
He grinned, "Oh yes~ It's exactly what you think it is! Nothing would happen to you if you fight back but the moment anyone else try to get just a little violent… Shall we say, they strike you with intent to subdue you instead of simply trying to grapple with you, they would be subject to the penalty!"
That's… Actually a pretty good deal? In fact, I would say that's pretty generous.
Only one question though…
"That means I could potentially start a fight with everyone in there and get everyone thrown out, couldn't I? Then I would be able to win the bet easily? Wouldn't this also make you lose a lot of money? I really don't see how this would be beneficial to you."
"Oh look, Midori! Isn't it just cute that they basically tell you their plan instead of hiding it?"
"Of course."
I crossed my arms in annoyance.
He clapped his hands together, "You are, of course, free to do that! As long as you don't kill anyone, feel free to beat everyone there up as much as you want! But if the beating that you are giving them is of a sexual nature… Ahahaha! That would also count as a loss!"
I frowned, "How do I beat someone up sexually?"
"When you are sexually aroused in the action of beating them up of course!"
…
Does he think I'm a sadist or something? I don't actually take pleasure from beating someone up, ok? In fact, I don't think anyone here does.
I guess he meant that we would have to make it look like we weren't enjoying the beating we were giving to any potential troublemakers… Now this sounds more like a handicap instead of a benefit…
Well fuck it, I have a plan.
The four of us are just going to go there and find a deserted corner somewhere and stay there for four hours without doing anything else.
The requirement was for us to stay there for four hours, not walk around for four hours after all. So that should be easy right?
We'll also just beat up anyone who tries to approach us and let them get taken away if they fight back. That should send a message to the others that they shouldn't approach us anymore.
Honestly, I really don't want to do this but I think we could at least just have this bet with him to entertain him before we leave.
Plus, that looks like an easy forty million to me, almost as easy as the job of transporting the dogs here if you were to ignore the fact that we got ambushed by pirates at one point during that trip.
Fine, let's just get this done and over with before we get out of here…
