Chapter 32 - 32: Profiting From A Trauma
Tina:" No, no, no! Master please, you wouldn't do such a thing to your little pet right!?
You wouldn't want others to play with your little pet toy, right!? Please don't do that Master, Tina will do anything Master wants, just don't do that!"
Eric was startled by her reaction, he didn't expect such a reaction from her. It was like she entered a different state of mind like she was reminded of a trauma of the past.
This made him curious to know more, and he asked with a teasing voice,
Eric:" And why shouldn't I do that!?
Aren't you doing the same thing now? Jumping from one guy to the other?"
Tina seemed to have completely lost it, and just started mumbling words, that made no real sense,
Tina:" Not same, not the same! Tina good girl! Tina doesn't like dirty! Tina will behave! Don't!"
Looking at her state, and hearing those short sentences that didn't really make sense with the question he asked, he was sure that she had some past trauma.
He was curious to know what it was, but right now wasn't the right time to do that. Furthermore, as long as she had the money, he would keep her away from it.
Thinking like this, Eric just looked her in the eye, and said,
Eric:" As long as Tina promises to do everything I say, gives me money, and doesn't do anything stupid, I won't do that to you."
Tina seemed really happy hearing that, and she still hadn't been able to get out of the emotional state she was in and started licking Eric just like a little cute dog would.
Eric wanted to have a big laugh right now, he had never expected such a thing to happen. It was truly weird and funny.
At the same time, he had found her Achilles heel, from now on he knew how to keep her in line. There was only one problem left.
Who was he supposed to send that fatty Ginka to have fun today? Since Tina was out of the question, he had to find someone else to do that.
While he was thinking about that, Tina slowly recollected herself, and while she could remember what happened, she was still in a strange emotional state.
From one side she was happy to have escaped that dark fate at least for a week, after all, that was all she needed, one week.
But the way she acted, and everything that happened, was just self-implosion. She had given away her darkest secret to this guy just like that.
There was nothing she could do about it right now, she just hoped he kept his word and she was safe for a week, after that, this guy would be in the palm of her hand.
3000$ were nothing to her at the moment, she had much more money stuffed away for the action she and Akira would undertake next week.
Seeing Eric pensive, and in his own world, she decided to keep going a bit with what she started, perhaps this could help her learn something about this guy.
Tina:" What's wrong Master? Is there something I can help you with?"
Eric was still thinking about how to deal with Ginka and the lady he was supposed to send to him when he heard Tina's words.
Right, why did he had to think so hard about it? He just had to order Tina to find him someone, or some women to work for him.
He was sure that she must know a lot of working ladies.
With this thought in mind, he said,
Eric:" Yes there is little dog. I need you to find me some ladies to replace you in my business."
Tina was caught unprepared for this request, but it wasn't like it was impossible. She herself had some ladies working for her.
Eric wasn't the only one who had thought of this kind of profiting business. Tina had too, and she had already around 10 ladies working for her, in different places.
This was the way she had made all her money, this and the gifts she had been taking from people like Daisuke, and her rich clients.
So while she could do that easily, it was once again a problem of how many would be enough to please this demon in front of her.
But thinking calmly this time, she thought that she would only have to lend them for a week only, because next week everything would change, for the best.
With this thought in mind, she said with a reverent voice,
Tina:" I can find you 3 ladies Master, and they could work for you starting from today. You just have to give your orders."
Eric looked at her a bit surprised, he hadn't expected such a number. He thought that asking for one today was already too much, but she was able to find him 3.
For some weird reason though, he thought that this wasn't even her maximum, but he couldn't push his luck too far tonight.
So with a smile and a happy face, he said enthusiastic,
Eric:" Oh, for real!? Then give me their details, and call the best for a job tonight!"
Tina didn't know how to feel right now, sad that she had lost 3 of her workers, or happy that she herself had avoided such luck for tonight, and this week.
She didn't dare to delay it though, she immediately took out her phone and took the details of the three ladies, and their photos to show them to Eric.
The three ladies were all three Japanese. They really had taken care of themselves and had above average looks.
Truly good workers, for what Eric had in mind. If everything went as he had thought, then soon he would be able to make money in bundles.
Selecting the redhead from the trio, he turned to Tina and said,
Eric:" Text her, and tell her to be at the red district in 3:50, tell her we will meet her there."
Taking her order from her Master, Tina immediately did as she was told. Completing her assignment, she turned happily towards her Master and said,
Tina:" Everything is ready Master!"
Eric didn't know if she was just acting right now, or this was a side effect of her earlier trauma, but he didn't care.
As long as she did what he told her, there were no problems. Furthermore, this made everything more pleasing.
Thinking like this, he turned towards the door, and while walking said,
Eric:" Just dress up quickly, and try to cover yourself, we don't want people to see us together do we?"
Tina was just reminded of this fact, that people shouldn't see them together, so she immediately changed the clothes she would wear, just like she had been electrocuted.
Quickly she took out a big shawl, glasses, and a hat to cover her face. Looking at the image in the mirror, she couldn't really recognize herself.
Happy with her new look, she got out of her room, towards the saloon.
Eric was a bit surprised at how much change could only a simple outfit bring about at someone, it totally changed the thought about them too.
Now was not the time to be surprised at this though, they had to be at the red district in less than 20 minutes.
Without losing time, he opened the door and let her walk out in front of him, they decided to meet up in the next alley, as to not be seen as going out together.
Two minutes later, he walked out of the door and made for the alley where he was supposed to meet her.
It took him no time to reach there, but apparently, there were two guys trying to impose themselves on Tina.
She had even revealed her identity, but most probably these guys were either drunk or not from this neighborhood and didn't have any idea with who they were messing with.
Normally this would have been a good show for Tianlong Yun to watch, but they were already late for what they had to do.
Without making any noise he approached the guys from behind, and with one move, he hit the first guy in the back of his neck with his hand and kicked the other with his heel at the same place.
In one move, both of the guys were down on the ground unconscious.
This scene left Tina stupefied, she had seen his body and his muscles but never thought that this guy was capable of something like this.
She would be staying there stunned for some time if Eric didn't pull her by the hand and start walking.
Fortunately, they were able to make it there on time, and meet with the redhead before that fatty Ginka could see them.
As soon as they met, Tina introduced the lady to her new Master and explained to her that from now on she would work only for him.
The other two ladies had also been informed about this change in Master's and would answer only to him from now on.
The redhead didn't seem to like this change, but there was nothing she could do. She was forced to do everything that Tina told her, she was in her hands.
Eric could notice her displeasure easily but didn't care at all, as long as she did her job as she should there would be no problems.
Just as Tina was about to introduce her though, Eric stopped her and said,
Eric:" I don't care about their names, from today for me they are 1, 2, and 3. As long as they do their work properly they will get their pay properly and without delay.
Are we clear!?"
The redhead seemed to become even more displeased at this guy's attitude, but there was nothing she could do, she had to do as he told her.
So she just said with a reverent voice,
Redhead:" Yes Master!"
Eric was satisfied with the answer at the moment so he just let it be, but then continued,
Eric:" This guy is supposed to be some kind of partner for me, but if he overpasses his bounds…
