Chapter 73: The Nux
And with that, they drove off toward the brothel. Night had already fallen, it was around seven. Dapper’s phone kept buzzing with Ruth’s calls and Belinda’s messages, but he quickly sent a reply saying he’d be back within one or two hours. He stepped on the pedal and sped toward the brothel in Epathe.
They parked at the lot and got out of the car.
"Hey... this looks more like a club though," Lice said, hearing the pounding bass and seeing the neon lights flashing all around the building. This was the same brothel owned by the friend of Ruth, the same one that owned the hotel where they got revenge on Thiago. Dapper originally didn’t want to come here, but seeing as time wasn’t on his side, he figured it was fine. Besides, the owner was hardly ever around.
"You’re wrong, this place is both a club and a brothel. The owner thought just having a brothel was boring, so she fused the two. Now it’s drink, dance, and sex. Have fun and get laid," Dapper said with a grin while Lice gulped as they stepped inside.
Above the entrance, the name stood out boldly in glowing letters:
[THE NUX]
----
Dapper and Lice entered the brothel and went straight to the counter, paying for access to the VIP section, where plenty of top-tier chicks were available.
As they walked in, they were hit with intense neon lights flashing across their eyes. Thankfully, the area was dimly lit enough that people couldn’t easily recognize their faces unless they came in close. It seemed like some kind of magic because while they stayed hidden in the shadows, the faces of the sex workers moving around were crystal clear.
Some freaks even showed up with their partners. This brothel was a favorite among swingers in Epathe, where it was normal to involve other men or women, some even go as far as banging their partner’s parents and the management never interfered. All kinds of freaky shit went down here. Those who wanted to get wild inside the club hall paid an extra fee and could go at it inside a private barricade that shielded them from every direction. The size of the barricade and bed determined the cost, larger setups meant more money. Swingers and orgy freaks usually went for the biggest options. This setup was a cash cow for the brothel’s owner.
Right now, many barricades were up, but Dapper couldn’t hear any moaning or sex noises because the loud music drowned everything out. People were dancing, smoking, drinking, and clubbing like it was a party zone.
"Hey, Dapper! There are beastkins and demi-humans here! What the heck! I’ve always fantasized about banging a cat-woman. Look, there are two of them over there!" Lice said excitedly, pointing at a pair of cat women nearby.
