A Goblin’s Evolution - Chapter 69 Jackal

Min reentered the brothel, meeting the gazes of several worried prostitutes. Min shared their expressions. She had a nagging feeling that something bad had happened to Rilaka. For a girl to just disappear like that, it was not usual for there not to be a reason behind it. And the reason was usually a grave one.

Rymalona was not a city free of crime. Min was proof of that. She was an assassin in training, and had done her fair share of nasty deeds, be it cold murder, or enslaving a whole brothel’s worth of prostitutes. There were gangs and crime syndicates throughout the city, but they had to in the guise of darkness, for fear of the city guard. On the surface, the city seemed peaceful, but under the shadows dark dealings transpired.

“Any news?” Kemah asked. But she feared the answer, seeing Min’s gloomy expression.

“No. But the city guard will investigate it. A blowjob was enough to motivate them, so they should at the very least put some effort into finding her. But I’m not about to sit back and wait. I’ll go ask around, see if I can discover anything,” Min said. Kemah nodded her head.

“Yeah, I’ll go too. Together, we can cover more ground. Melinda, we’ll leave you in charge again,” Kemah said, agreeing with Min’s plan.

“Yes,” Melinda replied. Min and Kemah left the building together, side by side. Outside, when they were away from prying ears, Min turned to her lover.

“Kemah, maybe you should go see if the organization can help us. Or if they know something. And maybe get Kor and Haemir to help,” Min said.

“I’ll do that. What about you, though? Where will you go?” Kemah asked.

“I’ll go ask around in the taverns, and see some information brokers. I doubt anyone will have any information about a lowly prostitute that’s gone missing, but IO have to something. And who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky,” Min said.

“Alright. See you later, then,” Kemah replied. The two parted ways, and Min headed towards the nearest tavern. There weren’t many people inside at this hour, but the tavern keeper was present. Min walked over to him.

“What can I get you?” He asked, his voice gruff and low. Min leaned against the table, pressing her boobs together for the man to see. When seeking information, a wise beauty would make use of her assets.

“I need some information about a missing girl. You wouldn’t happen to know someone that might be able to help me, would you?” Min asked, flickering her eyes cutely, as she spoke. The man’s eyes were glued to Min’s breasts for a while, before he was able to meet her eyes.

“You see that girl over there? The one with the bunny ears? She tends to know a lot of things,” the barkeeper said. Min turned to look at the woman who the man pointed at. Indeed, there was a busty girl, with long ears drooping down her head, sidding in a chair. She seemed to be napping.

“Thank you. I’ll go see her. Please bring us two drinks,” Min said, as she tossed some coins on the table.

“Certainly,” the barkeep said, as Min walked over to the sleeping bunny-girl. She sat down next to her, and gently shook her shoulder. The bunny-girl’s eyes opened in an instant, meeting with Min’s eyes.

“Who’re you? What do you need?” The girl asked, her voice very high pitched. Even higher than Min’s voice.

“My name is Min, and I was hoping you could help me,” Min said. As she spoke, the barkeeper walked over with two mugs of drink. Min pushed one mug over to the bunny-girl, before taking a sip of her own.

“Thanks for the drink, but whatever could I help you with? I’m just a girl who dances for the tavern in the evening,” the girl said, a strange smile on her lips.

“The tavern owner told me that you know a lot of stuff. I was hoping you had some information about a missing girl,” Min explained.

“Oh, it that’s the case, I might be able to help. I tend to hear a lot of things when I dance. People never think that the dancer might be listening in on their private conversations, and I also have very good hearing. Tell me more about this girl. What’s her name, what does she look like, and what does she do?” The bunny asked.

“Her name is Rilaka, and she’s cat-kin. She’s a prostitute at my brothel, the Moonshine Garden. Have you hear anything about her?” Min asked, hopeful, but not over-expectant.

“The Moonshine Garden, you say. I’ve heard of the place. It was quite popular, but I bet you’re seeing a rapid decrease in customers, these days,” the bunny-girl said.

“That’s right! Do you perhaps know the reason behind it?” Min asked.

“I do indeed. But first, how about you give me ten gold?” The girl asked, stretching her hand out to Min.

“Ten gold? That’s a lot for just a piece of information. But alright,” Min said, before taking ten golden coins out of her purse.

“Thank you. As you probably know, another brothel opened in the area, not too long after the Moonshine Garden did. But due to your popularity, they got barely any customers. But today, it’s quite the opposite. Your brothel rarely receives visitors, while they’re always busy. But if you look deeper, you’ll see nothing much has changed in either brothel, to cause this change in popularity. The prices, girls, and offers remain the same in both places. But I can promise you that the fault of your declining popularity lies with this brothel, and they might also be behind the disappearance of your girl,” the bunny explained.

“Can’t you tell me more? How are they at fault? What are they doing?” Min beseeched her, hungry for more information.

“I can tell you more. But I want something more from you in exchange for this information. If you let me fuck your pussy, I’ll tell you anything you want to know. Man, I really just want to pound you,” the bunny-girl said. Min was a bit surprised. She’d been asked similar questions plenty of times, but it was usually a man who did the asking. For a girl to make such a request was rare. And the wording she used was even stranger.

“You’re confused, I see. I’m not actually wholly woman, you see. I’m quite a bit man, too,” the bunny said, as she lifted her dancer’s skirt, revealing a big bulge in her panties.

“You’re a hermaphrodite!” Min exclaimed. This was first for her. She’d definitely want to have sex with this bunny girl with a penis, but sex was her business now, so she wouldn’t make it that easy for her.

“Alright, how about this. If your information turns true, you can come find me at the brothel and fuck me for free as often as you want. But if it’s false, you can pay for it like everyone else,” Min suggested.

“Alright, sounds fair enough. I know the information is true, so this is better than a one time fuck. Now let me explain it all to you. At a glance, this opponent brothel of yours seems quite ordinary, but if you behind the scenes, it becomes very criminal. They’re backed and owned by a gang called Jackal’s Gang, led by Jackal. Despite their relatively small size, they’ve done anything you can think of. Murder, kidnapping, selling drugs, illegal slavery, anything, really. It’s definitely possible that they’ve decided to kidnap or murder your prostitutes to take you out of business. As for what you should do from here, I don’t know. Going to the brothel won’t be any use to you, as they won’t know anything, and confronting the gang would be suicide for someone like you,” the bunny said.

“I don’t know about that. You said they were a small gang, right? I have my means, Min said, as she caused a flame of dark mana to burn in her palm.

“You’re a mage? Well, it makes sense. I heard you’re still only a teenager, yet you own a brothel, so you must have some capabilities to you. But caution is still wise. Jackal is supposedly around level ninety, and he has many followers,” the bunny said.

“Thank you for the warning. But I’ll be fine. I have friends of my own. Now, thank you for the chat, and I hope I’ll see you soon at my brothel. I’m looking forward to hanging out with you with less clothes on,” Min said, as she gave the bunny-girl a wink.

“Definitely. I’ll come visit you soon,” she replied. Min left the tavern, and headed back to the brothel. Kemah was yet to return when Min arrived, but the wait wasn’t long. When Kemah came back, she was followed by Kor and Haemir. They had planned to check on the brothel first, before going out to do their own investigations. But unexpectedly, Min had already returned.

“Did you learn anything?” Min asked, as she reunited with Kemah. Kemah gave a nod, but it wasn’t very positive.

“It seems like a gang might be targeting us,” she began, before telling the same story Min had heard from the bunny-girl.

“I heard the same thing. Seems like we’re going to have to investigate this Jackal Gang. If they took Rilaka, we’ll have to get her back, if at all possible. If they’re not behind it, we’ll just eradicate them and their brothel and get the Moonshine Garden back on track, before continuing to look for Rilaka,” Min said.

“Seems logical enough. Let’s get going right away, then. Kor and Haemir will back us up, right, guys?” Kemah said, as she turned towards her two friends.

“Of course. This Jackal guy is only level ninety or so, according to the intelligence report. You two girls alone are his match, but the three of us guys have long surpassed level one hundred,” Haemir said. Indeed, Dralu, Kor, and Haemir were all close to finishing their training. Min and Kemah would soon be continued their own training, but it wouldn’t be with those three.

Min had heard from her Master that they’d become a team of three, with only one additional member. The training teams usually ranged from three to six members. As for who this third member would be, that hadn’t been decided yet.

“With you guys here, the Jackal gang won’t stand a chance. But I want you to leave Jackal to us. If he’s touched a single hair on Rilaka, I’m going to slaughter him! I’ll make sure he dies in pain,” Min said, her voice become raspy again. Kemah took Min’s hand into her own, and looked her lover in her eyes.

“We’ll torture him together. Rilaka is my friend, and I won’t forgive those who heard those I care for,” Kemah said.
