Married into Alpha Lord

Chapter 47

I have many secrets that I haven't told anyone. This is one of them.

"Same old, as usual. Working and maintaining this place," Yuuri answered. I gave him a slight nod. He appears calm but I know this is not an easy business.

"Do you really don't want to quit this line of work? I can give you another fund to pivot the business," I offer again.

Yuuri chuckled. "No, I owe you too much," he rejected without hesitation. Like brother, like sister. "Not everyone is like you, Rene. No one would ever trust a 'regular' business run by Omegas. This is still the fastest way we could gather money for ourselves." He gave me a smile.

I understand his view. The cast system regarding the secondary gender in this world is deeply rooted that it won't be easy to change the stigma of the people here. Not many people want to do business owned by Omega. It would be almost impossible to attract customers, yet alone established trust between business people.

"Your fund already helps us a lot when we first create this place. We want to be independent and manage ourselves," Yuuri added, to convince me. I kinda feel bad for them. After so much life has given hardship to them, they want so little for themselves.

"Besides... it's easier to fulfil your request in this place," Yuuri continued.

"You can always reject consuming my experimental medicine," I immediately say.

"Rene!" Yuuri voices up. "You know how good the quality of your 'experimental' suppressants are? Work in an instant and very effectively. I've been going to Nana's place regularly and she said my condition has improved. So, besides getting able to stop consuming the cheap suppressant that wreck my body, I got the much better one that can control my heat, has no side effect, and actually improve my health!" Yuuri explains non stop. "Err.. I haven't told you this, but I actually sold it at a cheap price for some of my acquaintances," he said. "I'll stop if you mind!" he added quickly.

"You can do it as you like. Just... be careful to not draw any attention, those medicines are not available in the market," I said. It's true that I provided them with free heat suppressant medicine. The medicines come from the private project conducted by me and Rose. The curiosity for the secondary system led us to conduct several research about it. Creating an Omega's heat suppressant is one of them. Unfortunately, it's not easy getting human tested without drawing attention. We come up with a less suspicious solution. The medicines are produced by Rose in Dorsenburg and human tested with my assistant here.

"Yuuri, about the thing I requested yesterday..."

"Ah! yeah. It's actually a difficult topic. Lucky, we have someone here that might help you more. Wait a moment, I'll call upstairs," he said, stood up and walked. Yuuri halts when he is about to turn the doorknob. "About your request that I meant before. It's not testing your suppressant... but this. Gather information for you. It's easier in this kind of place," he smiled and disappeared from the room.

I became an investor in this place. A bar slash brothel house. It's not weird for a new one to emerge in this red district. The bar is just a small addition to what happened upstairs.

I told Yuuri and Juri to quit their old house. Their conditions were so bad and they didn't get enough payment to even buy a proper meal and suppressant in comparison to what their job demanded. I suggest they run a normal business, like opening a cafe or store, yet they end up creating their own brothel house.

I can't refuse their proposal upon hearing their reasons. It's almost impossible for Omega to be able to run any normal business. They also said this is the fastest way to help their friends escape from their previous house. I gave them the green light under the condition that they should never overwork anyone. I made a simple system that made the clients need to book a few days earlier before getting the service. At that time, I asked them to run a simple background check about the client. I can easily access all data. The booking system is actually what makes this place very convenient for some clients to request a specific service in advance. Most houses here do a first-come-first-serve method for each day. The employee here also feels safer as they won't be overworked and able to know something about the client in advance.

That's when I request a little thing from them.

I need a personal informant but it's not easy to get one especially with me living in Sealgair's mansion and my status as Darren's partner. If I ask weird questions or request for unusual information, it would surely get forward to Darren. Besides, I need the commoner's insight, raw talks from people on the field which I doubt I would get if I just rely from staff on Sealgair.

Thus, in return for my investment, Yuuri and Juri accepted my request to gather information for me. Stories from drunken clients are often unfiltered and they'll soon forget what happened. Most of them look down on Omega so they won't imagine their talks would get forwarded to me. This place becomes my information hub. At first, I didn't expect much from them but their reports often exceeded my expectations.

Where the money for initial investment comes from?

I do get a monthly allowance from Sealgair's house but I rarely touch that. I got quite a huge sum of money from my copyright translation, but people will surely find it weird if I took it all. So, I ask only half for my personal use while the rest are to be maintained by Sealgair's treasurer.

By putting the money into investment and only taking the profit once in a while. Again, people will surely get suspicious if I play stocks in the local market so I do it in Dorsenburg, with Rose's help. In this early state, the amounts are just pocket money.

The big ones come from different places. My research projects often give good results, the royalty and bonuses are personally given to me, without being recorded home. Dorsenburg officials said that they don't believe it would be given to me if they go with 'proper' procedure. Those acts are never mentioned in the agreement so it can still be considered legal. All in all, I found it weird yet amusing that my private income comes from a different country. As long as it won't attract attention, I'm open to any options.

Lucky that this continent uses the same currency for all countries. It would be a big challenge to exchange if not.

"Sorry for the wait," Yuuri's voice called me.

It seems long but Yuuri actually just away for around five minutes and now he comes out from the back door with another person following him. A boy with pinkish blond hair and a radiant tanned skin. He wore a plain white shirt and denim shorts. A slim body and thin flawless leg. He looks so attractive, all people here are. Our eyes met and his green eyes captivated me for a second.

I was stunned by his look, yet he looked surprised seeing me here. Before long, his surprised face turns into a smirk. With a smile on his face, he greeted me. "Finally I met you," the boy started speaking in his light tone.

"So, how can I help you, Caden Sealgair?"
