So far, the City Leon knows spans from the Royal Academy to the residential area he escaped through all the way down to the river and the Northern District which was way larger than what he would ever imagine.

The slums and the district merged in a unique way proving that even when there are rundown areas, there are even more run-down areas and when you think a place is dangerous, wait until you visit a poorer one.

Leon wasn't particularly surprised by the way things went but he is an anonymous face so he was received with a cold shoulder until he managed to get out back to the saloon.

"How was your first delivery?"

As he entered the saloon, Jessica met him with her usual poker face.

"Dangerous, I would say. Thrilling in a way." He said as he walked over and sat before the counter, "I hope there are no hard feelings."

"For what?"

"Me Rabbiting over the little Rat hierarchy thing you had going on." He said with a sly smile.

Jessica looked at him as she was cleaning a mug with a cloth putting her power into her shoulder which caused the exposed part of her bosom to jiggle like jelly. It was a sight to behold from both the angle and the distance Leon was sitting from.

"You can't handle me, Leo." Jessica said unamused.

As matter as the situation in the saloon goes, there was a hierarchy among the Rats and Jessica is on the top of the Rat pyramid. Madam Ruth was okay with it all as long as the girls were being managed properly. Jessica was talented in multiple ways both in bed and behind the bar so there was no need to break the system. This left Jessica with most of the work but also a good amount of authority for a prostitute.

Leon slipped from the line and jumped the ranks up in a week. Jessica was sure he was just lucky but didn't come to peace with it.

Leon was well aware of those thoughts. As a team captain, breaking the hierarchy was something he made examples of who did it to put everyone in place thus he didn't want to do headbutts with Jessica and chose to avoid her for now.

"I am going up to see the Madam." He said.

"She's not here."

Jessica stopped him before he even moved, making him sit back on the stool with an awkward face. She was still looking at him with a gaze that will almost tear a hole through him.

"Ermmm!" Leon tried to avoid eye contact but he had to break that mood somehow, he looked at her bosom which was still jiggling and spoke, "You have nice boobs."

The words alone were enough for her to stop and give him more of a bitter gaze.

"I I mean their personalities. They say a lot of nice things about you." He said.

"You're saying you can hear boobs talk again?" Jessica but the mug on the counter a little bit violently.

"Ye Yes. I know it is hard to believe but they are too exposed and talkative." He said, trying to put his word the right way.

"Leo" Jessica said as she looked at the shelves behind her and, "There is something I can't reach, it is there on the top shelf. Make yourself useful."

He nodded and just walked behind the counter without trying to say anything else. He came to the shelves and looked up as Jessica was just looking at him.

"What is it you want?" He said while looking up.

"Oh! I found it already."

She just said that and the moment he turned around to her, she simply rammed his front with her butt sticking him against the shelf.

"What the"

"You know what, Leo?" She turned her head with a casual smile, "All I need is to scream."

Leon swallowed his saliva in horror.

"I'll just scream on all your Rabbit glory will let's say, they will be dusted off with your face off the floor tomorrow."

He simply stood silent as she was in total control now. Her smile was just growing wider as if it is the ticking of a bomb. Leon was instantly drenched in sweat as he felt the pressure she was applying and the fact that a few eyes started noticing.

"All hail the Rat Queen." Leon said while smiling nonchalantly as he rubbed against her.

"Hahaha!" She laughed loudly like a true prostitute and turned to him, "Good bunny boy."

At this moment, he was the one with a plummeting mood and unamused face. Jessica felt satisfied enough and walked from behind the counter then sat on the stool he was just sitting on.

"Pour me a drink, Leo." She demanded.

"Jessica ruined a lot of guys. They just pursued her and she took them in long circles making them go penniless in the end." Molly said, "She doesn't want to repeat her mother's mistake."

"Mistake?" Leon narrowed his eyes but he realized it, "Ah! The words I said."

Molly and Jordi made that look when someone tells the other now they got it.

"Her mother used to work here?" Leon asked.

"Yeah. Back in the day when we were all ugly ducklings, she was the talk of the district her mother. Even Jessie is not half as good but sure as hell that kid got the smarts of the weasel who scammed her ma." Molly kept talking.

"I can imagine."

Past mistakes are not just one's own mistakes. Mistakes and grudges can sometimes transcend generations.

"Hehe!" Jordi laughed, "She got behind the stool real good and let us the ones to bask in your glory." He nodded towards Leon's nether region.

Leon looked with a surprise down there to see that he still got a serious bulge from that moment when Jessica trapped him behind her with her butt.

'Damn, Leon. Didn't know you have all that in-store! Guess I didn't check out the spoils.' Leon thought as he hurriedly fixed the pole towards the north.

He laughed a little with Molly and Jordi but he turned his head upstairs to see Jessica still pulling the guy from his hand towards a room and looking back at Leon. As their eyes met, she shook her head towards him and just snorted not regretting that he missed out.

Yet in this cheerful moment when the world warmth dropped down a few dozen degrees in one second when the door of the saloon was pushed open with the sound of violent footsteps clinking against the wooden floor. The luster of steel was reflected with the light of candles and the glamor of the trident sigil inscribed on the armor of the knights announced the presence of nobility.

"I can't believe we're asking in this den of filth." The Knight on the lead of his fellow four knights spoke in disgust as he gazed at the people in the saloon.

"Listen up!" He called and took a step forward announcing his presence with a strong voice, "By the order of someone who can trample over this place like the den of roaches it is, we are looking for this missing person."

And a drawing was raised and the face of Leon was on it.

Molly, Jordi, and Jessica as well as many in the saloon including some of the girls and others from the patrons, they all looked with their eyes towards Leon's spot.

But he wasn't there it was as if he vanished like the wind.

Only Molly and Jordi could see him hiding with a pale face under the counter.

His eyes met with Molly's and a sense of urgency was transmitted between their eyes. She immediately walked out of the kitchen and Jordi followed as he stood at the door blocking it with his width. Leon sneaked into the kitchen and remained silent.

Jessica let the man she was holding and ran down the stairs as Molly walked in front of the knights bowing to them.

"Milord! Welcome to our humble saloon. We'll prepare our fanciest liquor, your grace." Molly kept saying while bowing.

"Keep your filth on the shelf. Have you seen this young man before?" He asked as he pointed at the drawing.

"No No! I don't believe his face is familiar." Molly said.

"That may look like a common face but he doesn't look like anyone from around here." Jessica followed.

The Knight looked around and walked by the two women who were frozen in their place. He walked behind the counter then looked up at the girls who were lined with fear in their eyes as they started to back away to their rooms.

"No matter" The Knight spoke and put the drawing on the counter, "Please inform the Knights of Godfrey if you saw him. One of our own will be staying in each barracks."

And he walked out.

And almost everyone could hear their own heartbeats.

And almost as if they could breathe normally all over again.

What the fuck was that just now? They all wondered!

Not a guard, not a guard captain A Knight looking into a brothel.

Jordi immediately turned toward Leon or where Leon was supposed to be.

He wasn't here. Jordi turned to Jessica and Molly and shook his head.

Sure enough, Leon is the most eventful guy they ever met to this date.
