Leonard Churchill strolled around the market, bought some materials about Taren's Classics that he had never seen before, and some other books.
Then he went to Downing Street to find the information merchant to learn about the latest news and details of some upcoming conflicts.
It was almost as he had expected.
At around eight in the evening, he again visited the Black Market on Dark Rain Street.
...
A flamboyant array of red and green lights greeted him at the entrance of Great Ivan's Treasure Shop.
A group of sexy women with thigh-high slitted skirts greeted guests at the entrance.
There was no vulgarity, just pure titillation.
This place looked much more high-end than the pleasure houses on Downing Street.
Just this single feature set the shop apart from the hundred other stores on the street.
Every time a guest arrived, there was a burst of pleasing chatter ushering them in.
"Dear guest, please come in."
