"Phil, can I ask you something?"

Joey leaned close to Phil's ear and whispered something.

This involves murder and arson. There are many people and gossips in this place, so we need to be careful.

“Dear Mr. Joey, please feel free to ask me anything!”

Phil cooperated by lowering his voice in response, showing that professionals are indeed different.

When did you see Charlie? What has he been up to lately?

Joey wasn't going to beat around the bush and went straight to asking about Charlie's recent activities.

"We at Goblin Bank have always been committed to protecting our clients' privacy!"

Phil's words disappointed Joey.

"However, given that Mr. Charlie has been in arrears on his loan for a long time and has extremely poor credit, he can no longer be considered a customer of our bank, but I am still happy to help you!"

The situation took an unexpected turn; Fei'er had also become mischievous.

Seeing Joey's expectant look, Phil continued, "I saw him last night, at the entrance of that brothel in town!"

"As you know, we goblins don't really like those kinds of places!"

("To be honest, I really don't know!")

"I haven't seen him in town for many days. I heard he's been busy looking for someone lately, a very beautiful lady!"

"Does Charlie still need to go to brothels? I always thought he didn't need to waste his money there!"

Joey was telling the truth. A spoiled rich kid who does human trafficking has plenty of connections, so why would he spend money on this? I just don't understand.

"Who knows? Maybe everyone has a different opinion. I heard that he always pays the bill when we go, and he's quite generous!"

Joey now understood why Charlie owed the bank so much money; it turned out he'd spent it all on these vanity projects.

"Alright, dear Phil, I have no other questions!"

Joey smiled at Phil, then turned and walked out of the bank.

Phil waved goodbye to Joey and invited him to come again next time.

...

"Big Beard, stop focusing on eating. Remember what I just told you?"

Back at camp, Joey looked at the bearded man who was engrossed in eating and gave him a word of advice.

“Mr. Joey, isn’t it too risky for just the two of you, Mr. Sam, to go tonight? You know, it’s not so easy to make a move in town!”

Sergeant Medes put down the half-eaten bread in his hand and asked with some concern.

Just as Joey brought back lunch, he told them about tonight's plans.

Tonight, he'll disguise himself and sneak into town to see if he can run into Charlie, and then kidnap him when he's alone.

"It's just the two of us. Too many people will only attract attention. I heard that Charlie hasn't been going out alone lately. He always brings a bunch of people with him when he goes to brothels. It seems he's wary of us!"

Although Joey didn't want to take any risks, he had been keeping the six men in front of him cooped up for the past few days. While this had made Charlie's group lower their guard, he was facing the same problem and needed a small victory to boost morale.

Charlie is undoubtedly a good choice.

We can only make this poor guy suffer a bit; when it comes to persimmons, you always have to pick the soft ones.

"Don't worry, Joey, I've remembered everything you said!"

The bearded man had eaten and drunk his fill, let out a burp, and then replied to Joey.

"Okay, if you're full, then go to sleep. We'll make our move tonight."

After saying that, Joey lay down on his side to conserve his energy.

Night fell quickly.

Joey and the bearded man were no longer seen in the camp.

"Alright, bearded man, you stay here and wait for my instructions!"

The two hid in an alley and watched Charlie and seven or eight other men walk into the brothel.

"Mmm!"

The bearded man nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Reassured, Joey walked into the brothel.

"Hey grandpa, come have some fun!"

"I guarantee you'll have a great time!"

"We have some new girls here today, come in and have a look!"

"..."

A group of heavily made-up, scantily clad girls stood at the entrance of the brothel, while many others on the second and third floors were soliciting business.

"It's a pity I have things to do tonight, otherwise I really would have liked to experience the local customs and culture of this gold rush town!"

Joey was a little annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face.

He strode into the brothel with complete ease, and two girls immediately came up to him and clung to him.

"If only Catherine had half the initiative of you!"

Joey looked at the two girls on either side with a smile. They were actually quite good-looking when they grew up. It seemed that the mayor's son had high standards. This was not a cheap place.

"Traveler, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here? Do you know any girls?"

The girl on the left had her left hand on Joey's shoulder, and her right hand gently traced Joey's cheek with her fingertips.

"Yes, I just arrived tonight and came specifically to patronize your business!"

"Hey, you've come to the right place! I guarantee you won't want to leave after tonight!"

The girl on the right brought her red lips very close, and Joey could already feel her warm breath.

"I hope so!"

Joey simply put his arm around the two girls and let them lead him upstairs.

As they walked along, they could already hear moans and sounds of men working hard coming from many rooms.

It seems the soundproofing isn't very good; they need to improve that aspect of their service.

Joey was led by the two girls to a small room on the third floor. The room was small, probably only seven or eight square meters. Besides a large bed, there was only a shower room.
