Chapter 657: The Rabbit Almost Abducted, Broly's Pleasure Street

"Ah, how could this be?!"

Although he had been reminded last night, and Bell had vaguely anticipated this, now that he knew the truth, he still felt distressed.

"Return my money..."

Then came the young man's anger; he subconsciously wanted to seek justice for himself.

"What did you say?!"

But as the burly man of the Soma Familia in front of him retorted viciously, Bell's aura was suppressed at once, his voice lowered, but he still tried to explain to get his money back.

"Ah, no, I mean, that money is very important to me; if I cannot join a Familia and have no money on me, I cannot continue to stay in the city of Orario, and thus cannot realize my dream..."

"Hah, what does a country bumpkin's dream like yours have to do with me?"

Seth looked on with contempt.

"But as an Adventurer, deceiving an Ordinary Person like me out of money, don't you feel shame, and aren't you afraid I'll report you?"

Bell said, gathering his courage.

"How much money can shame sell for? As for reporting me, to whom would you report me? The Guild?"

Seeing Bell nod, Seth curled his lips and revealed a contemptuous smile.

"Then at that time, I will tell the Guild people that the money was your application fee to join the Soma Familia, but after you failed the screening, you just want to act like a scoundrel and take the money back!"

Hearing Seth's words, Bell widened his eyes; how could a person be so shameless, speaking words that inverted black and white with such righteousness?

Seth was fearless; relying on this trick, he didn't know how much money he had swindled from country bumpkins who came to Orario to pursue their dreams, and although some had gone to report him, without exception, all ended in failure.

"However, if you want to make money, I can introduce you to a good job."

Seth looked at the boy who was stunned like a wooden chicken, turned his eyes, and then said.

"What?"

Bell, as if grasping at the last straw of salvation, looked at the scoundrel who had deceived him.

"Your looks are not bad, pure and immature; many people should like your type. I can introduce you to Pleasure Street to be a male prostitute."

He said.

"A male prostitute?!"

Hearing this, Bell, like a frightened rabbit, subconsciously retreated two steps.

"At that time, the money you earn from serving clients, I'll just take a little hardship fee. How about it?"

Seth asked.

"I won't be a male prostitute."

Bell shook his head repeatedly; although he wanted to encounter cute girls, it wasn't through being a male prostitute!

Moreover, Orario had guys who liked male beauty; if he really became a male prostitute, he might end up encountering rugged, burly men.

On the first day he came to Orario, Bell had actually been spoken to by a Male God, who said he was willing to take him into his Familia, with the price being to accompany him, in various meanings of accompanying.

At that time, the pure Bell was frightened away; now he was even less likely to walk into a trap and go to a place like Pleasure Street, which sounded improper at first hearing, to be a male prostitute.

"Do you think you have the right to choose?"

Seth approached; Bell turned around wanting to escape, and at this moment, the boy no longer wanted to demand back the fourteen thousand and more Valis that had been swindled from him.

But before he could lift his foot, he discovered his escape route had been blocked by the other two who followed Seth and were also of the Soma Familia.

These people had not premeditated this early; they just lusted at first sight. Seth suddenly thought of continuing to exploit the boy, and after saying it, his companions knew what to do to maximize profits.

The bad people approached, Bell retreated, and finally was backed into a wall corner: "I won't demand my money back, nor report you; will you let me go?"

"Don't be so nervous, boy. You want to join a Familia, don't you? Pleasure Street is the management territory of the Ishtar Familia. You're quite cute; maybe once you get there, the Goddess Ishtar will take a liking to you, take you into her Familia, and let you lie with the Goddess."

"Lie with the Goddess...?"

Bell swallowed, his cheeks gradually turning red; because of these words, he began to have improper thoughts.

"Yes, the Goddess's taste is said to be exquisite; I was once fortunate enough to be favored by Lady Ishtar."

"Ah?"

"What's wrong, boy? Looking at your appearance, you wouldn't think the Beauty Goddess Ishtar is still a pure Goddess, would you?"

"Hahaha, how could that be? The number of guests who have entered her curtains is no less than a thousand or eight hundred."

Hearing this, Bell's eyes instantly became clear.

He wanted to encounter cute girls, not an ultimate Sea King.

"No, no, I don't want to go to Pleasure Street!"

The white-haired boy burst forth with speed, wanting to escape from the scoundrels surrounding him, but how could an Adventurer's reaction speed compare to that of an Ordinary Boy who didn't even have Falna? Bell was, as expected, caught in someone's hands.

"Stop struggling, obediently come with us, or else you'll suffer."

"Seth, this guy definitely has a prosperous future in Pleasure Street; we can definitely make a profit from him."

"It's just unknown whether it's a one-time deal or a long-term business."

Just as these people were preparing to take away the human boy who resembled a Rabbit Person and take him to Pleasure Street for a human trafficking deal, their path was blocked by a boy.

"Bell, we meet again. Do you need some help?"

"Ah, Broly-san?!"

The boy held by Seth, upon seeing the boy, immediately shouted as if seeing a savior.

"Please help me."

"Tch, you know this guy?"

"Kid over there, I advise you not to meddle. If you don't want to get beaten, scram now."

Caught doing bad deeds, a scoundrel immediately threatened viciously.

"Wait, this guy doesn't look bad either. Catching one is catching, catching two is also catching; why not catch him too and sell him to Pleasure Street?"

Seth sized up the boy and suddenly said.

"Hey, still, your brain's the sharp one."

Hearing this, his two companions' eyes brightened, and they moved to surround Broly.

The Saiyan said nothing, simply kicking away those who approached with his two feet, their bodies smashing into the wall behind.

"Ah, you're an Adventurer too? My apologies, I failed to recognize a distinguished person. I'll give you face and let go of your friend."

Seeing his two companions fall in an instant, Seth realized this was likely someone stronger than them. He immediately changed his attitude and hurriedly set down the white-haired boy he held.

Bell landed, and like a startled rabbit, instantly bounced behind Broly, looking somewhat shaken.

"Like this, can we leave?"

Seth rubbed his hands, looking like a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.

"What about the money you swindled from him?"

Broly pointed at Bell behind him and asked the thugs in front.

"Ah, already spent it all. That little bit was just enough for some good wine."

"So, you mean you don't intend to return the money?"

"Kid, don't think just because you beat us you can ride roughshod over us. We're people of the Soma Familia."

The two who had pried themselves off the wall, one clutching his abdomen, walked to his companion's side and spoke with false bravado.

"Leave a line when being a person, so we can meet well in the future."

The other person also spoke.

Just as the words fell, these two were kicked into the wall again by Broly.

"You speak as if you gave him (Bell) a way out?"

The Saiyan's foot directly stepped on the head of the one who spoke of leaving a line, pressing his head into the brick ground. It was only because he had no intent to kill that the other merely felt his head about to be crushed, not actually crushed.

Dense cold sweat emerged on Seth's forehead. This time Broly moved, he hadn't even seen the motion clearly. He was a Lv. 2 Adventurer, and although not one who leveled up with Limit Off stats, for someone to make him unable to see or react — the guy currently stepping on his companion's head was very likely Lv. 3, or even a higher-level Adventurer.

"Let's talk nicely, we'll definitely return the money..."

A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. It was just over fourteen thousand Valis, not worth provoking such a powerful guy.

"Forget it, you just tell me where Pleasure Street is."

Broly said directly.

"Ah, you ask where Pleasure Street is, could it be you intend to..."

Seth had a bad premonition.

"Since you wanted to sell us, I'll sell you too. The money from selling you can be used to repay the debt."

Broly was fairly equitable. The guy before him hadn't tried to take his life, so he wouldn't take theirs either. Reciprocity. He planned to sell this group.

"Ishtar Familia won't take them."

Seth hurriedly said.

"That's my business then."

Broly was rather persistent, while Bell was already staring dumbfounded.

The situation in the alley deadlocked slightly for a while, then the thug named Seth suddenly darted out, just like Bell who had prepared to flee earlier — this guy was also preparing to run.

As for the companions behind him, damn, as if their Soma Familia were all close and loving. They were just a Familia gathered by a bunch of stinking drunkards chasing Soma Wine. When there was money to be made together they could manage mutual aid, but now that great trouble had arrived, of course they each flew off on their own.

And citing the Familia's name like that — that's a trick a close, united, mutually supportive Familia would use. But for Soma Familia, without sufficient benefit, even if they were killed, Soma Familia might not even step forward for them.

Seth hadn't run out of the alley when a pain struck his abdomen, and immediately his whole person flew back, smashing right between the other two.

"This time I admit defeat, but you also don't want to cause deaths in the City, right? Beating us up is enough, I'll return the money, but please give me some time."

Seth didn't say anything tough, instead speaking softly. Bell listened from the side and felt doing this much was already enough.

However, the boy soon heard Broly's next words: "From your reaction, that Ishtar Familia should be one that would take you, and Pleasure Street isn't a good place. You're afraid of being sold there yourself."

Seth's complexion stiffened.

"If he and I were sold there by you, without resistance capability, our end would probably not be good. So, why do you think I'd let you off so lightly?"

Bell was shocked, but seeing the reaction of the guy who swindled him, he was clearly hit the mark. The boy instantly extinguished any thought of pleading for the one who conned him, and asking Broly-san for mercy.

"If you have the guts, kill us. Anyway, where Pleasure Street is, we'll die before we tell."

"Kill, why kill? Making you feel pain is enough, no?"

Broly found it a bit strange, and toward the three on the ground, fired Extreme Pain Finger from a distance.

Bell behind couldn't see what Broly did, but the three on the ground suddenly changed complexion and convulsed on the ground, as if their muscles were spasming.

Blue veins bulged on the three's foreheads. They opened mouths to wail, yet found they couldn't even make a sound.

Only faint whimpers echoed in the alley. The people on the ground were like three maggots, twisting their bodies, as if having epileptic fits.

The extreme pain lasted one minute before Broly released the finger force, then calmly asked the three: "Now, can someone tell me where Pleasure Street is?"

The three panted without answering. The next moment, Extreme Pain Finger came again.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

After twisting on the ground for another minute, when Extreme Pain Finger was released, the three on the ground finally realized not speaking would only bring unimaginable torture, and immediately revealed Pleasure Street's location.

"Fine, you three lead the way. If anyone dares run on the road, I'll make you live in extreme pain from now on."

The three supported each other walking out. Broly called to Bell, and followed behind the three.

"Broly-san, you really going to sell them?"

"If not, you want to forgive them?"

"No, not that, just... us being human traffickers isn't good, right?"

Bell just felt this kind of thing wasn't what a hero would do.

"Then I'll kill them?"

Broly retorted. The three ahead trembled, and immediately quickened their pace, yet still didn't dare run.

That brief two minutes of pain made them feel as if being alive now was a rebirth; they simply did not doubt that the bastard behind them who could make them feel worse than death would actually dare to kill.

"Ah, this isn't necessary..."

Although Bell had been deceived, he also did not feel that it warranted taking someone's life because of it.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Broly had stepped in for this familiar boy in the first place, so he was willing to respect the other's opinion.

"I, don't know."

Bell was at a loss; he couldn't come up with a good way to handle it either.

"Then listen to me: whatever someone wants to do to you, you do to them."

After Broly finished speaking, he urged the three people ahead: "Hey, stop dawdling, walk faster."

"Yes."

The three responded and hurriedly quickened their pace; they hoped to run into Ganesha Familia members on the road.

But due to the Dungeon Anomaly, a large number of Ganesha Familia people had all run off that way.

On the way to Pleasure Street, they didn't encounter a single Ganesha Familia member who maintains city order.

As for members of other Familias and ordinary citizens met on the road, upon seeing they were Soma Familia bastards, they simply didn't dare interfere.

That bunch of drunkards from Soma Familia have done too many swindling and cheating deeds; their reputation in Orario isn't good, their methods are despicable, and there are even rumors of them killing other adventurers in the Dungeon — so no one wants to bring trouble on themselves.

"Sigh, what a pity for those two kids."

That's right; Broly and Bell following behind were regarded by people met on the road as children deceived or threatened by the three Soma Familia bastards up front.

And the direction they were heading, those in the know all understand — they're being sold to Pleasure Street; there were kindhearted people who wanted to find Ganesha Familia people, but alas couldn't find any.

Driven by the Saiyan, the three including Seth arrived at the front door of Pleasure Street; seeing the gate unopened at high noon but guarded by two Amazoness warriors, one of them asked Seth: "What should we do?"

"In the current situation, we can only sell ourselves first, then think of a way to ransom ourselves later; we are Soma Familia adventurers, those Ishtar Familia bastards should be willing to give us a bit of face."

Seth said quietly, adding a line in his heart.

【As long as we don't run into that monster Furini.】

"What are you here for? Pleasure Street only opens for business at night."

After the three Seths approached, the Ishtar Familia member guarding the door raised a hand to stop them.

"Isn't this Seth? You bastard, where did you swindle these two cute kids from?"

One of the Amazoness women recognized Seth; upon seeing Bell and Broly following behind, she subconsciously licked her lips and asked.

"No, this time it's not me selling them; it's them selling us..."

Seth showed a bitter expression; the Amazoness warrior who heard this was stunned.

"Haha, so you finally kicked an iron plate, huh?"

The Amazoness warrior laughed unscrupulously.

"Since you're the one being sold, then I'll definitely have a good taste of you afterward."

This person let them pass, opened a small door on the side, and let Broly and the others who came to do business enter.

Pleasure Street in daytime was somewhat desolate, but at night it becomes a paradise for people to release their lust; Seth sold himself, yet still had to actively lead the way to the place of sale.

A group quickly arrived at Ishtar Familia's Core Base inside Pleasure Street; and because of the existence of a certain Regiment Commander praised as the 【Man Killer】, this place has always been forbidden to males.

"Oh my, two cute little brothers have come..."

A group of Battle Courtesans wearing revealing clothes, upon seeing Bell and Broly walk in, stared at them like prey.

However, upon learning that this time the ones being sold were Seth and those unscrupulous drunkards, these Battle Courtesans all reacted similarly — directly mocking the three Soma Familia members who had flipped.

"We will ransom ourselves; please give us some face."

The meaning of Seth's words was: don't buy them at too high a price.

Aisha spat a mouthful; she didn't like scum like Seth who swindles and cheats, but alas Ishtar Familia and Soma Familia have wine business dealings, so she had to give a bit of face regardless.

"Samira, what are they doing down there making all that noise?"

Just then, a bloated figure walked out from a room upstairs, looking displeased at having her nap disturbed, not understanding what those bitches downstairs were making such a racket about in broad daylight.
