Ch 3 : Even the King regularly visits the Brothel

Hearing the voice, Cade stood up and responded. There, he saw a man with knight armor. He had a long sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes were full of tears.

Sullivan's royal guard, Mr. Lake.

"Lake?" Cade paused. Even though he wasn't familiar with this person, the memory of the original body had told him a lot about this person.

Cade's most trusted subordinate. Even when he wanted to be a pirate, Lake was against it at the start, but later he still helped Cade when it mattered the most.

Seeing the appearance of Lake, who watched him with wet eyes, Cade really didn't know what to say.

This guy….

Just because the original predecessor had picked him up from the slum, he had always treated the predecessor like he owed a life to him.

Nonetheless, a smile also quickly emerged on Cade's face as he seemed to have found his way.

" Eh… his royal highness, you.."

Seeing Cade smile, Lake also felt a chill on his spine. From an early age, he had known that once the royal highness smiled, there must be something bad going on in his mind.

Still, it was already too late for Lake as Cade had already approached Lake and placed his hand on Lake's shoulder.

" Lake, my trusted subordinate. You see, I need some help right now. You still have some power, don't you? Then help me find the most strategic location in the Sullivan Kingdom. I'm going to make a brothel," Said cade with a bright smile, which was really contrary to the words he said.

" ... "

It's over.. King Sullivan will definitely kill him after this.

At this moment, Lake really wanted to cry. Why was the first thing he received when he came here his royal's highness tricky scheme…

And furthermore, a brothel. He really can't imagine King Sullivan's reaction when he sees his beloved son running a brothel business in Sullivan's kingdom territory.

. . . . . . . . .

Few days later…

"His Royal Highness, you shouldn't be so impatient. The customer would definitely come later. I guess the citizens are just shy."

Sitting at the main office of the newly built brothel, Lake had a weird expression on his face.

After a long series of negotiations with King Sullivan, the brothel was eventually approved with the help of the queen.

But who knows that it has been two days, and there still hasn't been any single soul that had come and tried the brothel.

The brothel was located in one of the best area, and it also had a fully decorated building. Furthermore, the entertainment in One Piece world was a lot behind, and the brothel was one of the hottest industries in this world.

So there should be no reason for people to avoid the brothel, unless….

Lake turned his head to look at the direction of Cade.

' *Sigh* It's just that the reputation of my liege is too bad. Or else, this brothel would have been flocked with people.'

A sigh came out of Lake's mouth.

There's just no other way. Cade's reputation and prestige had been rock bottom since he left to be a pirate.

Even after he returned, the citizens still had no good feelings toward him as they knew how much pain Cade had left for their beloved King Sullivan.

And now, the citizens really didn't want to have anything to do with him. Even visiting the brothels that he built. If not for the fact that they didn't want to trouble King Sullivan, maybe some citizens had already come to make a ruckus.

Cade, at this time who was looking at the empty brothel with a blank expression. Even he knew about this, but he never expected his reputation would be so bad that none of the citizens would bother to give him some face.

' Heck, I even spread the rumor that I often come and use this brothel. So why…'

Thinking about this, Cade unconsciously squeezed the pen in his hand.

His plan was originally perfect in his mind. With his ability, he was able to create a special illusion space where the person who entered the space could just imagine what girl he wanted to play with.

This plan on his mind was not only cost efficient as he didn't need to hire prostitutes or worry about their health issues. It also gave the best satisfaction to the customers as they could be with any woman they wanted at the same price.

And furthermore, he also gave a lot to promote the brothel.

But who would have thought that his plan would fail before it even started?

One must know that To build this brothel had cost him and the Kingdom a lot of money. And albeit King Sullivan pretended that the kingdom was okay, Cade knew that King Sullivan had taken a lot of hard pills to give Cade the money to build this brothel.

If even this brothel failed, then Sullivan Kingdon might really head into ruin.

Cade gritted his teeth. It seemed he really didn't have any choice this time.

As he no longer cared about prestige, he immediately stood up and commanded Lake.

" Lake, let's do it. After this, spread this news to the people around."

" This brothel, even King Sullivan, is a regular at this brothel."

Cade's voice filled the entire room. But here, Lake could only look at him with a face as if he had just seen a ghost and a wide-opened mouth.

Lake: " Nani!????"
