Alaric arrived at the brothel as fast as he could. He hurriedly thanked the driver and jogged into the building.

When he had received Bethany's calls, he'd panicked and just told Laura he was leaving since he had an emergency. Laura had been kind enough to lend him her car and driver who brought him in the fastest speed possible.

It was almost six in the morning and the sun was almost raising, you could see the faint orange hue in the sky.

He busted through the half closed brothel doors to a sight of Bethany sitting on a sofa her face tear striken full on sobbing.

The other girls seemed to be trying to comfort her while also holding back their tears. The news must have really scared them.

The moment he appeared Bethany ran straight to his arms, he caught her stumbling a little from the force.

He picked her up and sat down on the sofa with her still on his thighs sobbing into his chest.

" It's going to be alright," he tried to comfort her but she just shook her head against his chest .

Alaric turned to look at the other girls or an explanation since she was inconsolable.

" Here read this, " June gave him a small printed paper, " this explains everything."

He took the paper and opened it to read .

After seeing the notice Alaric was stumped. He had thought that it was an isolated incident targeted towards him but it seemed to be was a collective evacuation.

From what he was reading he knew they had to move and they had to start putting all their affairs in order.

" What do you think? " June said then added before he could answer," people are thinking of protesting. Should we join them?"

Alaric looked at June as though she was crazy. This was a government notice ,were they planning on fighting it.

" No, we are moving," he said with finality.

" What but we've been here forever," Bethany who had finally calmed down said suddenly.

" But this is a mandatory evacuation, girls, and as you can see it's about a dungeon not some real estate developer," he said softly seeing all there relactant faces.

" But..." June started to complain.

" No buts, you have to understand. Remember the last dungeon that appeared out of nowhere," he said looking at them.

He could understand their reluctance since they have been at the brothel for years and then being told it was suddenly being closed and to up and move was a huge blow.

But someone had to be the villain and force their move and that was him. They were probably looking for someone to convince them and he was the only one. He wasn't that attached to the red district so he wouldn't mind moving.

" But where will we move to?" Blue asked the dreaded question. Everyone was quite since non of them knew.

While Alaric was thinking the system interface appeared Infront of him.

Alaric was surprised after seeing the quest. From the looks of it the dungeons anomaly was real with the system confirmation.

So he needed to establish a brothel somewhere safe.

He looked at the others and smiled. At least he wasn't alone and had a support system. He couldn't imagine how he would respond if he was alone.

" How about we all try to look for different location then we can have a vote after see?" He asked them cautiously. He wasn't about to overrule them and start making plans and decisions without their input.

" I'm out, I'll do the packing," June said shaking her head. Looking for real estate was a tiring job and she wasn't in the mood to run around.

" Al ,Why don't you look for it, we'll do all the packing and stuff ," Bethany said as she got up from his lap. Alaric supported her from the waist as she stood up. Her eyes were still puffy from crying.

" Okay, I'll look for the next place while you guys do the packing," he said leaning back on the chair," we should try and be out of here in two weeks before the leaving scrambling begins when the others notice that things are getting more serious."

" So how does breeze hills look like?" Brooklyn asked changing the subject.

" It looks rich, people there live on top of the world. You can see almost the whole capital from there," he said as he exaggerated his expression.

" Seriously, I've only heard of it but there are no inside picture. Those who live there are almost all First class awakeners," Bethany added.

" What seriously,"Samantha exclaimed ," Al how was it tell us."

Alaric looked at their eager eyes and smiled.

" There are only ten villas on that hill and everyone of them could pass as a mansion. Also the guards there are all awakeners and probably C level and above," he explained.

" What, that's rich rich. Awakeners of that level as guards," June exclaimed then added," if I could just get one patron from there my life would be fulfilled."

Alaric laughed out loud.

" I guess my life is fulfilled then," he said with a bit of pretend arrogance. June glared at him then also busted out laughing.

At that moment his phone pinged .

Checking the phone he saw it was bank transfer. He had received two hundred thousand dollars. He hurriedly looked at the sender thinking it was a scum.

He Saw the money was from Laura.

" Wow Al that much money, it's almost twenty times the agreed amount," Bethany said looking at his message.

Alaric wanted to send it back since the money was so ridiculously high but then he remembered they had an eviction notice sitting Infront of them.

He noticed that sleeping with awakeners was more profitable since they seemed to treat money like paper.

The service had only amounted to almost seven thousand dollars but receiving this much was just absurd.

He now understood why prostitutes in ancient tried as hard as to get picked by a young master. The benefits were immense.

He wrote a thank you message to Laura and stood up.

" I need to go to the real estate agent ," he said while stretching himself.

" Be careful," Bethany said as he walked out and stopped a passing taxi.

After settling down he opened the system interface and looked at the notification he had skipped after coming from Lauras place. He had been too worried to care.

( System notification)

Update:

Trigger emotional response in 10 awakened viewers (8/10)

Survive the next 48 hours.(29 hours remaining)

When he saw the completion notice on sleeping with an awakened client he knew there and then that it was Laura. He wondered what rank she was.

" Aah you are the guy from the internet," the taxi driver suddenly spoke. Alaric turned to look at him. The internet? He wondered then it came to him. It was probably from the photos right.

" Is it about the photos?" He still asked just to confirm.

" It seems like you don't know," the driver said shaking his head looking at him with a smile of someone that knows something but I'm going to make you sweat for it.

" What is it," he asked looking at him phone. Then he saw the most viral vedio. Alaric felt like crawling into the ground. What in the world had he been thinking.
