I looked at the man sitting across from me who was smiling at me while looking over the top of his wine glass.

"What kind of bet?" I asked.

His grin widened and he clapped his hands together, "You have earned quite a lot of money, haven't you? Both from winning the Battle Royale and the bets you've placed on yourself?"

Oh no… Is this the part where they try to do something to you because they think you've won too much money or something?

I managed to hold back my sigh, "I wouldn't say we've earned a lot…"

He laughed, "Oh I was being rhetorical, of course you haven't earned a lot! That was… What? A hundred million Credits? Heck, even less than that right? Barely even qualifies as pocket change! What I meant was that you have quite a lot that you can make bets with!"

Right, this guy gave away several million for people to have fun on his station. This much money is probably really not a lot to him.

"What are you thinking of, then?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you would be interested in making more of course! Let's make some more bets! You know about the other arenas I have beside this one right?"

I already saw where this was going.

"You want me to participate in them too?"

Linc chuckled and turned to look at how bodyguard, "Isn't it great when they are smart, Midori?"

"Of course," She answered back without any changes to her expression.

He turned back to me, "You are a very smart person, Miss Tera! Yes, I would like you to participate in them too! We shall make bets on how you do in that arena!"

"Are they the ones where you have people fight against beasts like the dogs I transported for you?"

"That's right! How about it? Let's make that as your first match! Wouldn't it be ironic that the dogs that you took care of ended up having to fight you in the ring? That would be such a spectacle! I can already see the highlight of the match! Former trainer now has to fight against the beasts she raised!"

Well… I didn't exactly raise them but I know he was just saying that for dramatic effect.

The other girls from my side were looking at me. They already know what would happen if I was actually put in a ring with them so that meant it would be a definite easy win for me if I actually agreed to this.

But the problem was that the dogs would be collared and from what I know, they would be under the control of the one who collared them.

If that was the case, they could be made to attack me even if they did not want to, so how they acted around me before that would be irrelevant.

And remembering how those two dogs easily tore those poor pirates apart like they were made of tofu, I'd rather not.

I shook my head, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in that."

Linc turned back to look at his bodyguard again, "Ah… Look at that Minori. Isn't it annoying that the other side isn't greedy? Makes it difficult to manipulate them, don't you think?"

"Of course," She answered again with no changes to her expression.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Well, what now, Midori? I'm a little upset now."

She turned to him and gave him a flat look and he simply smiled back at her.

The woman sighed before she started walking away.

I realised she only walked away because she needed to move around the giant couch that Linc was seated on to get to the space in between us.

I thought that she was coming over to threaten us and Amber actually stood up to stand in front of me protectively.

Linc gave her a glance but then turned back to smile at Midori who was completely ignoring us and headed directly to Linc instead.

Then, without any hesitation, she sank to her knees and pulled down Linc's pants and underwear until it was bundled up around his ankles, revealing his naked waist.

She then grasped it with one hand before she started to suck on it with her mouth, making especially lewd noises as she did so.

All of us were just staring at the sight before us, though I was more surprised I was witnessing it than the fact that it was happening.

"Ohhh~ I do love it when you use your tongue like that, Midori. Mnnggh~" He moaned unashamedly.

I made a face at him, "So… Should we leave now?"

He gave me a surprised look, "Leave? But we're not even done talking? Oh? Maybe you're feeling a bit left out? Don't worry! That's what they're here for!"

He clapped his hands twice and I heard movement from behind.

When I turned back, I saw the woman who had been our guide strip herself down before sashaying her way towards us. She intentionally exaggerated her steps so that her hips were swaying from side to side with each step.

I thought the guy would join in too but he remained at the bar while pretending to be busy with cleaning a glass.

Ok… How did he even know I was into girls? I would think that under normal circumstances, he would be sending the guy towards us since we were a group of girls and I don't remember sharing with them about my relationship with Amber?

Heck, even during the Battle Royale, I didn't do anything that showed we were a couple, did we?

As though reading my mind, Lea spoke up, "They sent those two to greet us and judged who you checked out more to determine your sexuality, Captain."

What? Oh…

From the very start when those two were sent to receive us, they were already judging us.

They must have noticed that I was checking out the girl more than the guy, which was why they decided to have the girl lead us at the front while the guy went behind instead.

I can't say I like being used like that but I guess I have done the same thing before while working in the sales department.

The woman came up to us and leaned on the backrest with a seductive smile, swaying her body from side to side so that the two globes on her chest also swayed side to side enticingly.

I raised my hand, "Sorry but… No thanks."

"Oh come now, Miss Tera! There is no need to be shy! Consider it a gift from me!"

I'm sorry but… I'm not really a prude, ok? The thing is as attractive as the woman in front of me was, I felt the girls on my side were still way more attractive as compared to her.

No offence… And I wasn't going to say it out loud eit--

"Pffft, this isn't about her being shy! She's just not her type~" Amber laughed before moving to the woman's side. "I'm her type~"

Right as those words left her lips, Amber reached up and pulled off her top, revealing her own chest to me before she leaned over the couch in the same pose as the woman.

I gasped and quickly moved forward to cover her boobs with my hands, "What are you doing, Amber?!"

She giggled and cupped her hands over mine and squeezed, which in turn made me squeeze her chest as well.

"Ehehehe~ What's wrong, Tera? Can't hold yourself back because of these little babies?"

"Of course not! I don't want you showing yourself to anyone else but me!"

She paused before her lips curled up into an even bigger smile, "Oh~ Is Tera being possessive? Oh that's so hot… Can we fuck now?"

I pulled out my hand to put her top back on, "No, I'll do it when we're in private, not here. Put this back on, you horny girl."

A laugh came from behind and I paused to see Linc smirking at me, "Oh this is perfect! I have the best idea now!"

All the while, Midori was still bobbing her head up and down in between his legs without showing any signs that she was paying attention to her surroundings. Almost like nothing else mattered except for the thing she was sucking in her mouth.

Linc then gestured his hand towards me, "I will pay you a hundred million Credits if you let me fuck her!"

"No," I answered immediately, going back to put Amber's top back on.

"Ahahahaha! I thought so! Alright, how about a million Credits for you to fuck her in front of me while I use her mouth?"

"No," I repeated, also without hesitation.

"Oof, I like you. I guess that isn't going to work. What if we make it a bet then? We see if your lover can make you cum first or mine! Loser pays the winner a million Credits!"

This guy really likes to gamble, I see…

But too bad, I'm not going to just whore anyone out for money.

"No," I told him again.

But this time I heard no answer from him.

When I turned back after dressing Amber, I found Linc smiling weirdly at me now.

That chill I felt earlier when I met him was back…
