City Hall, Owlspring
 
 
“What do we do about this?” said the middle-aged man to his superior as he opened the next file. It was not the first time he had opened the file but deferred the decision on it.
 
Now nearly four weeks had passed, and they needed to make the decision.
 
“I have got the answer from my superior. We are approving the application,” said the old man in front of him, and the middle-aged man couldn’t help, but become surprised.
 
The brothels are delicate subjects. Especially when those of foreign countries want to open them.
 
It is a scarlet category business and could be used in information collecting. They cancel the licenses of those found doing that, aside from giving the heavy punishment.
 
This one is from Greltheaven. They have an agreement with it, but having an agreement doesn’t mean they will get automatic approval.
 
It is a lengthy process, especially in the business of the scarlet category.
 
“It is quite surprising,” said the middle-aged man. 
 
A quota was decided for the cities, and Greltheaven had filled its quota. So, they shouldn’t be given any more approval.
 
“Not surprising, given the man who applied for it,” said the old man. “He is a small-time adviser, is it because of his family?” asked the middle-aged man.
 
The house of silver is big, and cities of merchant states had a fondness for them due to their deep pockets.
 
“No, not the family, but the work he had done.” 
 
“He is a capitalist, favors more open connection with merchant state, low taxes, and few other things we want,” answered the old man, and a smile appeared on a middle-aged man.
 
He immediately understood the reason behind the special approval.
 
The city and the state love these kinds of people who align with their ideology and give them favorable treatment.

“I will approve it then,” he said and stamped on the file, before placing it in the approved section.

Agent of Experience Lv. 22
 
“Mister Silver, we have arrived,” said Zela, waking me. I opened my eyes and found the words in front of me.
 
A surprise couldn’t help but appear on my face seeing that.
 
I had leveled up, and it is surprising, because, I had not leveled up when I had brought the record number of girls' contracts.      I had expected to level up that time, but didn’t.
 
‘Has something happened in the establishment?’ I asked myself, or it may be, just the experience reaching the threshold and me getting a level.
 
Whatever the reason may be, I am happy about getting a level up and the attribute point I am getting with it.
 
I thought for a moment before adding it to the charm, taking it to the sixteen. 
Charm is the highest attribute point I have, higher by four points by the second highest intelligence, and it is necessary.
 
Charm is the least important attribute; most people use the points on physical attributes.
 
Even those with non-physical proportions didn’t give charm the highest points; they kept it equal with intelligence. Only a few types of classes keep the charm above the rest, but these classes are less than 1% of all.
 
Charms' effects are more subtle than other attribute points, but I like it due to it and also because after crossing a certain threshold, it started to get really powerful.
 
Not to mention most of my skills are mental skills and require charm.
 
I smiled at the look given to me by Zela, walked out of the carriage, and stepped into the boat that was waiting for me.
 
This side of the shore had been developing nicely.
 
A few months ago, there was barely anything, but as the trade with the Navr began, we started to build the infrastructure. The baronies and lauryl had also benefited from it, as lots of good come and go to the city.
 
I watched the night sky as the boat began to take me to the other side.
 
A few minutes later, I reached the other side and stepped into the carriage, waiting for me. 
 
The girls wanted to come to receive me, but I had asked them not to; there was no need for that. They have better things to do than waste their time in coming to receive me.
 
There is a still hour to dawn, but the port had already woken up, with ships coming and going. Loading and unloading things and betting on things that came out.
 
Many things are happening, and I watched it all with a smile.
 
Today is a special day for me.
 
Exactly a year ago, I came to this city. I was angry, full of hate and disappointment, but a year later, there was hope and excitement in my heart.
 
So much has changed within a year and I am confident, that next year same day. 
 
There will be an even more drastic change in me.
 
Soon, the carriage passed through the gate and entered the city.
 
It had started to wake up, with people and carriages could be seen walking on the streets.
 
Fifteen minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the manor. I stepped out and entered inside; I could have gone to the establishment, but I wouldn’t find anything interesting there.
 
It is less than an hour before dawn; it is time we have the least number of patrons in the establishment.
 
So, it is better; that I take some rest to prepare for what is going to be a long day.
 
Click!
 
Soon, I reached my suit and entered inside and directly went to my suit.
 
Hun!
 
There I received a surprise. I saw Carla sleeping, and she was not wearing anything; the thin silk sheet covering half of her enchanting body was proof of that.
 
I slowly walked toward us and stared at her wonderful body, before gently removing the sheet off her, revealing her naked body in full glory.
 
I wanted to rest, but seeing her, it is the last thought in my mind.
 
I drank her beauty and crouched down and kissed her belly gently and breathed in her smell, before descending with the soft kisses.
 
She had not woken up, but she was squirming under my kisses.
 
Soon, I reached her delicious folds, and I wanted to taste them, but I controlled myself and kissed her thighs, breathing on them, making her squirm more, before finally going back to her pussy.
 
I breathed on it before taking a gentle swipe of her delicious fold, waking her up instantly.
 
She didn’t say anything as she woke up. Instead, she squeezed my head with her thigh and pushed my head into the pussy.
 
I didn’t resist and gave what she wanted and soon the moans started. From low to high, till they were the only thing, I could hear.
 
“God!”
 
Carla let out one last loud moan before slumping back on the bed as the last waves of orgasm washed over her.
 
I wiped away my mouth with my sleeve and climbed over her before taking her delicious lips.
 
The kiss lasted for a while before we let go.
 
“Thank you for waking me up, the best way,” she said with a content smile. “My pleasure,” I said, and a smile on her face turned seductive.
 
“Not yet,” she said and rolled on top of me.
 
The next three and a half hours passed too fast, that I was late a couple of minutes with my meeting with the Count. Thankfully, he was busy with something else, and my meeting began half an hour later.
 
It would be quite regretful if I had known that I would have had another round from Carla.
 
My meeting with the Count had lasted for over an hour, and I had spent another two hours in the office; setting up things and targets.
 
Now that I have returned, I have a list of things I want to achieve as vice-director of trade. On top of the list is making other cities join the trade with Navr, especially the Deerpond.
 
I will also be expanding the range; targeting cities out of the renwell region. It is a long shot, but I will have to keep trying.
 
It will not only benefit the city but also me; the consulting business has started to pick the pace. 
 
It is all because of Ina and Andrea. They work hard, never staying in the city, more than night, whenever they come back to the Greltheaven.
 
I feel bad working with them to death, but I have no choice. Those two are the only ones I could trust.
 
The carriage stopped, and I got out before walking into the three-story building.
 
Click!
 
Soon, I walked into my office, and there was Carla, waiting there. 
 
It surprised me since she should be in her office; earlier, she was complaining about the work she had and now she is sitting in my office.
 
She turned to me and saw a nervousness in her eyes, instead of the usual confidence. There is nervousness in them, and it is not light nervousness that sometimes appears before important meetings, but heavy nervousness.
 
I looked at her in question and she simply pointed at five letters on my desk.
 
Seeing them, I activated the Rapid Legs and appeared by the desk in a moment and saw the five letters. Each is of a different color and has different seals on them.
 
They also have one common seal on them. The seal of a merchant state of Meldhorn.
 
“They finally came,” I said with the same nervousness.
 
I didn’t immediately open them and instead sat down first, before taking the first letter in my hand.
 
It is from the city of Halda.
 
I tore the envelope with my nails infused with sharpness and brought out the letter with the city seal as a watermark and began to read it.
 
“Rejected,” I said, and my expression turned worse.
 
I reread the letter in case I had read it wrong, but I didn’t. They had rejected my application to open the brothel in their city.
 
I put the letter down and picked another letter. This one is from the city of Nalir. 
 
I tore the envelope and read the letter and immediately felt like vomiting.
 
Even Carla didn’t ask, seeing my expression; it was clear that our application had been rejected by both of the cities.
 
I picked up the third letter; it was from Owlspring. I didn’t have much hope for it; since the smaller cities had rejected my application, there was no way, the Owlspring would accept it.
 
Still, I tore the envelope and opened the letter.
 
I froze as I read it. I couldn’t believe what was written on it.
 
“What is it? Did they approve?” asked Carla. I nodded and handed her the letter, in which they had accepted our application; permitting us to open the brothel in the city.
 
“They really did. We got Owlspring!” screamed Carla excitedly, and I couldn’t blame her for the excitement.
 
Owlspring is the most important. We wanted it more than the other four combined.
 
It is the second biggest city in Meldhorn. There, we can serve the level of patrons, we can never in any of the four cities, five if we count Greltheaven, which is far behind them.
 
It took me a while to calm my emotions, and I had picked up the envelope from Ilaus.
 
I tore it open and read it. Immediately, my eyes lit up.
 
“Ilaus accepted,” I said to Carla, who was still staring at the letter from the Owlspring.
 
She put that letter down and took one from me, while I tore the last envelope from Taveb; the city which Drev is from.
 
I read it, and my shining eyes blazed.
 
“Taveb accepted it too,” I said and real shock appeared on my face.
 
A minute ago, we were wallowing in back-to-back rejections, but now there are three consecutive acceptances.
 
For a minute, nobody spoke, before she turned to me with the seriousness in her eyes.
 
“It will be very expensive,” she said, and I couldn’t help but nod. 
 
Greltheaven is a small city, with a round hundred and fifty thousand people. All three cities have a population over ten times that and all of them are in merchant states; an expensive place.
 
It would be an understatement. If I say it won't cost us an arm and a leg.
 
“It will be expensive, but it is a too big opportunity to pass,” I replied. 
 
These acceptances come with conditions. I have six months to start the business, or these permissions will be canceled.
 
One month will be needed to get the various licenses alone. 
 
Such a time limit doesn’t exist for all businesses, only for to that fall in the scarlet category. 
 
However, six months is short. I am confident, that I will achieve it, I will have to achieve it to realize my dreams.
