Chapter 439 – 439

The gang’s hideout hidden in the forest.

To put it nicely, I arrived at the secret base of the Springfield Youth Militia.

“Oh! “The captain has arrived!”

“””Are you here! Captain!”””

When I arrived at the hideout, there were subordinates standing in two rows, bowing their heads at 90 degrees and saying the Korean-style gangster greeting.

Originally, I didn’t know about Korea’s excellent etiquette culture, so I just nodded or waved my hand and said, “Hey, boss.” Or “Good morning, boss.” They were my subordinates, and when I personally instilled them with etiquette with my fists, they quickly learned and learned Korean-style Confucian etiquette.

“Yes, I am here. Hey, you. “You go and bring two prostitutes from our gang.”

“Yep! “Captain!”

One of my subordinates, who had been pointed out by me, brought two prostitutes in tow. He dragged the prostitutes around like slaves, almost as if they were working pigs and dogs.

‘Well, no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like she’s a prostitute who was officially hired for money.’

I decided to talk to the prostitutes in the gang and ask them about their current situation.

“Hey, whores. “How much money do you guys get paid to come all the way to a place like this and sell your bodies?”

“”… ?””

The prostitutes looked puzzled.

“Weren’t you working for money? What, you guys were using prostitutes without giving them any money?”

From the nuance of my words, the prostitutes must have begun to feel that I was a normal person, so they began to cry and beg for my life.

“… Ugh, huh, please let us out. I was completely fooled. I came here because they said they would give me a lot of money…, Treated like complete slaves… Don’t let them escape…, Above all, they don’t even give you money…”

“Ha, bastards. It was a fun game. “I exploited prostitutes without giving them any money.”

My subordinates were watching my actions closely.

Even though I was the new captain, I seemed to think that releasing prostitutes to quench my sexual desires was crossing the line.

Of course, I had no intention of releasing the prostitutes like this.

‘If you want to pass the additional trials anyway, you have to officially hire prostitutes, so why don’t you just cosplay as a normal person?’

Since I was the owner raising several pussy slaves on different floors of the tower, it was none of my business to know whether the prostitutes were treated as sex slaves or sex toilets, but what could I do if they told me to officially hire the prostitutes for additional trials?

The money it takes to formally hire someone isn’t going to be that much money, so hiring itself isn’t that difficult.

‘The story is similar to the original game. I think they also hired prostitutes and other things there for the welfare of the gang members. I can roughly anticipate the next mission. Did they hire prostitutes, cooks, barbers, and medical officers in that order? ?’

“Huh…, Black… Please send us to the village…”

“You can’t do that. You two whores know too many of our secrets. You guys will just have to stay here as a sexual tool for my organization.”

“”Ah… Ugh…””

Did he have vague expectations and hopes that I, the new captain, would release him?

The prostitutes who were captured and held as sex slaves cried and sobbed with despairing expressions of shattered hope.

However, I have been hanging out with prostitutes a lot lately, so I know their physiology and habits very well.

When I put a pound into each of the sobbing girls’ hands, they stopped crying and looked at me blankly.

“Instead, I make a promise in my own name. I’ll give you the right money. You guys came here to make money by selling your bodies anyway. Even when I return to the village, I will continue to be a prostitute. Isn’t that right?”

“”…””

After the two prostitutes stopped crying, they looked at each other and had a silent conversation, then held out their hands to me and asked for more money.

“We’ve been here for three months. Then you have to give at least 3 pounds per person… As promised, it was originally 6 pounds per person…”

“Six pounds is too much. So you’re saying you’ll get 2 pounds a month. 1 pound per month. That’s just right. Men also earn only one shilling if they work hard all day. But to make some easy money, you spread your legs and sell your body for 2 pounds a month? You want 40 shillings? Say something that makes sense.”

Even though I don’t have a pretty face, amazing body, or young age, I still lost 2 pounds in a month.

To make that much money, you have to be one of the prostitutes at Blueberry in Springfield.

“… Yes, but these men, with their youthful energy, attack us at any given time and demand our bodies. Then it’s completely our loss. The little ones never got tired and kept asking for our bodies.”

“I sent the kids home right away. There are no more energetic teenagers. “How long has it been since I sent the kids home that you say something like that?”

“… Well, still, 1 pound a month is a bit… Then, let’s make it 1.8 pounds.”

“You want to negotiate now? Good. I can’t raise it by 1 pound per month. Instead, we guarantee a day off on Sunday.”

“If you won’t give me 1.5 pounds, please let me rest on Wednesday and Saturday as well.”

“Not on Wednesday. Then, let’s look at a deal with a 5-day week, with Saturdays and Sundays off.”

I glared at him as if to tell him to negotiate moderately.

Honestly, I could have paid more, but I guess I wanted to negotiate properly…

“We will no longer treat you like sex slaves, but like formal members of the same organization. I won’t force you to tie me up. As long as you don’t break the organization’s rules, you can move freely. And if you are threatened by other people, we will think of you as gang members and actively protect you. How is it? Let’s reach an agreement at this point.”

I felt an instinctive sense of leadership skills being revealed.

For some reason, I had a feeling that the negotiations would go well.

“”… Um, okay. Good.””

“Exorcism. I’ll give you the rest of the money next month. “You worked for 3 months, and I just gave you 1 pound, so next month is 4 months, so you can each get 3 pounds more, right?”

“”Yes.””

‘It’s solved. I’m glad they didn’t whine for more for travel expenses.’

Normally, when prostitutes do not work in brothels and go on business trips to other places, they have to cover travel expenses separately.

But I think I got through it just fine, perhaps thanks to my various skills.

“Oh, boss. These prostitutes already received a deposit of 2 pounds each when they came to us? Do I really need to pay more?”

I was about to shake hands with the prostitutes to finalize the contract, but one of my subordinates who was watching the negotiation process stepped forward and told me something I didn’t know.

‘You already received the money?’

“What? Hey, whores. Are you kidding me? “Are you trying to deceive me by thinking of me as a pushover?”

“… No, no. … Well, that’s a down payment. They clearly said it was a down payment. I was told that the money I receive every month would be given separately. And they took that money back! You said you were borrowing it, but they took it away… ! Give me that money back too!”

“Um, hey. Is it true? How did you make the contract? “Is it true that the money was taken back?”

“… Uh, that’s… They said it was a down payment, but I think they said the money paid each month was separate… But that was just to trick me and say something random… Money…, That…, I need it to buy weapons… I borrowed it for a short time. Yes…”

“Then the prostitutes are right. Hey, whores. I’m going with the contract you signed with me earlier. 1 pound a month, 5 days a week, so Saturday and Sunday off. Please return the 2 pounds of down payment you gave and then took back to the road prostitutes. Hey, whores. “If this is the case, the prostitutes won’t complain, right?”

“”Yes. There is none.””

I had a deal with two prostitutes.

The prostitutes had received one pound from me, and they were expecting to receive five more pounds, so they stopped sobbing and looked happy.

‘Most prostitutes of this era don’t make very good money. You can see that just by looking at the fact that almost all of them live miserable lives. A steady £1 per month is a decent amount of money. In a neighborhood where prostitution is illegal, you can make more money, but you also have to give more money to the pimp. In a legal neighborhood, because it is legal, there are a lot of competitors, and the supply increases, so the price becomes cheaper.’

In fact, when prostitution goes from being illegal to being legalized, the price plummets.

So, some say that prostitution managers (pimps) welcome the illegalization.

‘Of the economic theories my second sister explained to me, I only remembered this one properly. Tsk tsk. I guess it’s because it has something to do with picking on women.’

A representative example is modern Germany. When it was made illegal, the price for prostitution was at least 30 euros, but when it was legalized, it fell below 10 euros.

The minimum prostitution fee, which was around 45,000 to 50,000 won at the time of illegalization, has fallen below 10,000 or 15,000 won.

In other words, when prostitution was legalized, the market price of prostitution for prostitutes fell by less than a third.

Therefore, there was a possibility that a world where prostitution would be illegal would actually become an ecosystem where pimps, who are prostitution managers, would make more money as a result.

‘My second sister told me about it by comparing it to the prohibition of alcohol in the United States.’

Since alcohol was once made illegal in the U.S., Who really helped?

They were the mafia who trafficked alcohol, politicians who accepted bribes from them, and businessmen who knew in advance that Prohibition would occur.

And people with social influence, such as politicians or the rich, either legally consumed church wine (religious alcohol was legal), regardless of whether the common people could not drink alcohol, or persuaded doctors to drink medical alcohol (at the time, it was medical alcohol). I drank as much as I wanted (which was also legal).

Alternatively, they may have stockpiled alcohol in advance before Prohibition (alcohol for personal use before Prohibition was legal), or illegal bars called ‘Speak Easy’ that are not often investigated by the police for some reason (bars used by police chiefs, judges, prosecutors, politicians, and tycoons) I drank alcohol in a place where I was not caught in the investigation.

It’s as if even in Korea, where prostitution is illegal, the strange form of prostitution called ‘sponsoring’ by the upper class of society goes unpunished.

For the wealthy and those with social influence, the illegalization of prostitution and the prohibition of alcohol were nothing more than meaningless regulations.

In reality, it was only ordinary people who suffered.

‘Prostitution is legal in the Springfield area. There is no concept of illegality in the first place. This does not mean that it is not considered morally problematic, but it is at a level where it is not prohibited by law or mobilized public power to regulate it.’
