Chapter 187 People Are Weird
So... What am I supposed to do with this guy?
I mean... He obviously intended harm on us but we've beaten his guards into submission at this point...
Maybe.... We can extort him now?
On another note, Ries seemed to be in shock right now with how she was looking at the scene with wide eyes.
Beside her was Lea who still looked completely unbothered. In fact, I think there was a hint of disappointment on her face for some reason. Not sure why though?
Maybe she was disappointed by the human's greed or something? She did predict that something like this might happen after all.
As for the merchant... He's been very quiet ever since Amber went to beat up three of his guards with minimal effort.
I believe it's because he thought I was actually going to snap his neck because of his guards' actions but come on, even I'm not that unreasonable.
I was just thinking that we could ask this merchant to pay us some Credits for giving us trouble before Amber let out a disappointed groan from the side.
"Really? You guys outnumber us and you don't even dare to fight little old me? How pathetic."
Amber... What are you doing?
One of the guards started shuffling away from the crowd towards my direction with his gaze locked on me.
I frowned at him and tightened my grip on the merchant, "Not another step. Tell him to back up."
"Unnghhh!! Back... Back up..." He groaned in a weird voice.
Wait... Somehow I feel that the way he was struggling in my chokehold isn't him trying to get away from me...
The others seem to have also noticed the oddity in his voice and looked over in my direction.
Then I noticed that Amber's face turned from confusion to disgust then to pure rage.
She stormed up to me, making me wonder if I did something wrong before she delivered a punch into the merchant's guts.
The impact made him blurt out a very, very weird line.
"Ngghh~ Harder mommy~"
...
What.

"Let him go, Tera... This piece of shit was enjoying it the entire time!" She roared, giving him a kick in between the legs.
I did as she asked and the guy fell onto the floor on his side with a look of bliss on his face.
That was also when I realised he was sporting an erection which was what Amber probably saw that made her mad.
This son of a bitch was getting off on me choking him... Fuck.@@@@
Ugh... I don't even want anything to do with him anymore...
He suddenly grabbed my foot with his hands, "Wait! Please do it more! Choke me out, please!!"
I gave Amber a look, "Let's just get out of here already..."
The slave trader panicked, "Wait! Could I just ask that you step on me as well?! Please! Just one time!! I won't ask for anything else!! I can give you anything you want!"
"Err... No thanks... Really... I don't need anything from you..."
"No! Please!! Just one--"
Amber kicked him across the back of the head and he slumped down onto the ground, unconscious.
Well, I'm glad that's over with...
I know people can be real degenerates but I didn't think I would actually meet one as bad as this...
I was about to turn around and leave the place when I saw Amber kneel down beside the unconscious merchant before flipping him on his back.
"What are you doing?" One of the guards asked before I could.
She gave the guard a look, "I'm pretty sure we deserve some kind of reparation after we had to go through all of that, right?"
"Wait, you're just stea--"
Another guard placed his hand on his colleague's chest to interrupt him, "No, no... She's got a point. Just take his Credit Chips and go. I'm done with this shit."
Oh... Well, alright then. Carry on, Amber.
She dug through his coat pockets and pulled out several Credit Chips before skipping over to me gleefully.
"Here you go~ My present for you~" She giggled.
Ummm... Thanks? I feel that it's kind of ironic that you rejected his offer for choking him out for money but would happily loot his unconscious self for the money that he had on him.
I guess if I asked her about it, she'll just say that it was semantics.
I pocketed the Credit Chips before leaving the room with the girls in tow, the guards didn't even bother to try and stop us and just went to pick up their unconscious colleagues and their boss.
The moment the door closed behind us, Ries turned and gave Amber and I a pointed look.
"Who are you two, really?"
I raised an eyebrow, "Didn't I tell you? We're Mercs."
"What kind of Mercs are you to handle those guys like that?! I've seen Mercs ok? They are definitely not like that!"
Amber grinned, "Because we're awesome, that's why. Got a problem with that?"
"No? But you're definitely using some kind of combat mod, right? How did you get those past the hotel security without deactivating them? I must know!"
Amber scoffed, "We're not. Those were pure skills you witnessed."
"Gene mods then? But no... Even those would be detected and have to be suppressed... Is it--"
She was interrupted when my Codex started beeping, indicating I was receiving a call from someone.
I brought up my Codex and realised it was Mara calling me.
Oh, I guess she was done with her lunch. Good timing too.
