"What… what kind of punishment will we got depend on our answer?"
Oh! They already gave up resisting. With this many people around, and the guards also here, they're in a situation where fighting back will out them in a worse situation.
"If you're targeting me, I know that will be your only offense. If your answer is targeting the girls, then when the guards investigate it, they might find your past attempts as well. I know that you must have did something like that before."
"Before that, can you wear something first? Being seen with a man who only wear underwear is embarrassing."
"No, Angela. They have my clothes and I will be more persuasive if I'm half naked. In fact if I'm totally naked, we're already done here, right captain?"
"Hmm? You might be right. Anyway, The Claw is already made a lot of offenses in the past but we never found any evidence. As long as they can be arrested, we will be recognized by the citizen as those who hold justice. And our reputation will grow."
After I answered Angela, I asked the captain of the guards who keeps glancing my way. I see… so he's like that. That's much better then!
I whispered something to him and he wholeheartedly agree with my plan. He started smiling evilly like me.
"We- we were trying to assault him!"
One of the guys shouted. Then following him, some of them also saying something.
"No we don't! I don't swing that way!"
"But the punishment is lighter at least!"
"Fuck! I shouldn't have followed him here!"
"Do we have a choice to not be put in a jail?"
"Fuck no! There's too many witnesses here! You guys decide which one is your answer! I will say I'm targeting the guy to have a lighter punishment!"
"Then I will do the same!"
"Ugh… fine! Me too!"
In the end, all fifteen of them decided the same answer
"Is that your final answer?"
"Fuck yeah it is! Come on! Do your worst!"
"Okay then."
I pick up my clothes that were already thrown away by the thugs. But before I wear them, I gave them a new information.
"Captain, they already admitted their wrongdoing. Please arrest them."
"Rest assured, young man! They will be put on prison."
"Wait!"
I want to say something, but before I did, a woman come at us.
"They are rapist! They have did those thing to me and many other girls! You can't just let them go with a light punishment!"
"She's right! I lost my fiancée because of those guys!"
"They deserve to die! Death sentence to them!"
Suddenly many people who were afraid to inform the guards before, said about The Claw's crimes. At first it was just ****, then thievery, robbery, murder, and the numbers of people who reporting are increased. So I shut them up.
"Shut up! I haven't finished speaking!"
I shouted angrily. Now that everyone has shut their mouth, I continued speaking.
"Captain of the guards. First thing first, may I know your name?"
"It's Hill."
"Okay. Then Captain Hill. I have some questions. Is there a lot of prisoners at the moment?"
"Yes there are many."
Great. He played along with my plan. It was something I whispered to him before. But if we do this, everyone will be more convinced.
"Is the prison separated between genders?"
"Yes. At least this city's prison is separated by gender."
"Are there any sexual offenders and rapist in the men's prison?"
"A lot. And all of them can't hold their sexual desire and they're already doing it between prisoners. Despite being the same gender. I bet they will be happy if they got new friends who entered the prison because they're trying to **** a man."
"Did you hear that? There are a lot of them!"
Many people doesn't understand at first. But seeing how color drained from the thugs' faces, they soon understood.
"Wait! Wait! We're actually trying to **** the women! And what they said about robbery is right!"
"We were not targeting the man! It's the girls!"
"Please don't put us in jail! At least the charges need to be changed!"
The thugs now desperate trying to change the charge. None of them want to taste the forbidden area. Neither do I. but I enjoy seeing those who tried to harm me fall into hell. As long as it's not me, then everything is fine.
"Hill, you also likes men, right? What do you think of them?"
I already ask him whether he would agree if I everyone know his preference or he would like to keep it a secret before. He said he never kept it a secret. It's just that no one ever asked about it.
"Well, for me… there are some that I would like to get to know better. I actually went to the prison at least once a week. I know some guards and prisoners who will love to have them join us."
"Ca-Captain! Don't tell me you're…"
"You never asked before. It's not like I kept it a secret you know. Ever wonder why only our squad has a biweekly bathing event at the river?"
"AAAAH!"
One of Hill's men asked and now every one of them is screaming in agony.
"Well, that's that. Do you think the punishment is too light?"
I asked everyone here and everyone is shaking their heads. No one complained that their punishment is too light. After all, as soon as they enter the jail, their lives will be forever changed.
"Of course since some of you have a history with them, you can inform the guards as well. So that these thugs you hate so much can enjoy prison life for a longer time."
Since my act is over, I wore my clothes again. There are some men who were disappointed by it but I ignore them.
Then one man suddenly come from the crowd.
"Excuse me! Can I visit the prison?"
There are more like Hill in the crowd! And he's directly asked if he could 'visit' the prison!
"Oh! You can! In fact I have a spot as my assistant. If you want, you can apply as well and we can 'visit' the prison together."
"Thank you!"
Not just to visit the prison. That guy also got a job as well! Must be his lucky day.
As for Hill's men who wanted to quickly put the thugs in prison and probably ask for transfer to another squad, I went to them to have a chat.
"Hey, guys. I have something to tell you."
"What is it? Don't get too close with me!"
"Don't worry. I'm straight. More importantly, it's about your Captain's taste in men. You've seen how he doesn't seem to be interested in me at all despite me being half-naked? Looks like men with toned body like mine is not his taste. So for your safety, I will tell you a set of exercise to gain some muscle. If you want, I can tell you right now."
I lied. Hill is in fact, too attracted with me. I will tell him later that this is my bribe to him to never improve our relationship to more than a friend.
"Yeah, we want to hear it! Anyone with writing tools, please write it down and share it with everyone who's not here!"
They took the bait. What I will give them is not how to build a body like mine. My body is on the slim side with toned muscle. It's a body built to fight. Victoria said that this is a body of a martial artist. There's almost no other martial artist here other than me so I don't know if what she said is right or not.
But for them, I'll give them an exercise to build a body just for shows. One that will increase the mass of their muscle. They will be stronger and bigger. Although in the end they will be bigger than me, I can still beat them black and blue since I'm used to fight. But at least it's good for their health as well. I also tell them to write down meals that's good for their body.
After I finished giving them instructions, I returned to Hill and his new assistant.
"Hill. I just gave them a set of exercise to gain some muscles. Their body will be bigger and more muscular than mine. Do you like it?"
"…what's your name?"
"Roy."
"Roy. I love you."
"Just as a friend and never more than that. Consider it as bribe to befriend the Captain of this city guards."
"I'm usually one who never takes any kind of bribes. But this I like. We're friend forever from today. My new assistant and I also will never see you as a romantic partner. Thank you very much."
"You helped us with a small problem as well so we're even. I told your boys that your taste is not the muscular ones. You can pretend that you're not actually interested in them so they can be relieved. Then see you later!"
I leave the alley crowded with people together with Angela and Kayla.
"You're evil."
"Oh really, Angela? Look at Kayla."
Kayla is busy writing down something on her notebook and ignore us.
"She's recording everything I did. You're surrounded by bad friends, Angela."
"…can I stay sane surrounded by these guys?"
