"Once you get your share, you can rent as many beautiful women as you want—here in the empire or over in the eastern region. Understood?"

"Alright, let me kill her," another man said casually.
His comrades stepped back five paces without objection. The one who spoke drew a thin but sharp sword from behind him.
