Chapter 105: 104 – Coincidence or Destiny – Part IV

In order to be in charge of the September half-way point, there were a few criteria that had to be met.

First, you had to expend a certain amount of resources in an open auction to claim the rights to the September Neutral Zone.

That was a non-issue because of my recent achievements in Paradise and my admittedly cheap ability to print precious minerals.

Second, you had to be an organization.

That... was a bit more involved. Fortunately, I had a wonderfully competent wife along with a wise coach to help sort that all out.

An event and decision that should have taken most people years to prepare for was going to be finished within a month.

And like that, we'd be able to control the Tutorial, thus letting me bring in Jinhee safely along with Seunghae and Yuri.

...Which reminded me that I needed to talk with Seonhwa about that.

Which also reminded me that I needed to talk with Gula to check what I needed to do.

Which reminded me again that I needed to use the Divine Stigmata soon and figure out who that weirdly familiar and arrogant voice I heard in my head was.

But those were later things.

For now... I had a meeting to deal with. And to prep for that, I was currently standing at the balcony of Teresa's room in Haramark castle.

"Are you sure you don't want to just set up Elysium here in Haramark, Hubby?" Teresa reached out to adjust my suit and frowned. "I've given you my everything and Daddy said that it'd be fine."

I let her fix up my clothes and looked at the sky to check the time. "I'm sure. It's better to not leave all the eggs in one basket."

Teresa snorted and stepped back. "It sounds like you're planning to run out and collect more. Just how many wives do you plan to have at the end of the day, Hubby?"

I sighed and said, "More than I'd like, less than what's necessary."

Teresa huffed and said, "This is why I keep saying you should have seriously bought me back then, Hubby. If you just took me as your wife early on, you wouldn't be in this mess."

"True. But I'd be in an even bigger mess and probably have to rush down the Parasite Queen within the month. I'd win, of course, but I've got a feeling Paradise wouldn't be left standing in the aftermath."

Teresa rolled her eyes and then stepped back to give me a once over.

I leaned against a nearby brick wall and reflected for a bit while she did that.
