Chapter 446: Looming danger
"Fuck, because of the outrageous things you two did last night, I couldn't even focus on the meeting. It's a good thing he was happy with the price and really wanted that metal..." Keyara said as she took a seat inside Kevin's car. Viana and Kevin were already there, having just returned from the meeting to sell the Crimson Vein Alloy and other ores, which went well.
Despite the successful meeting, Keyara was still angry. The reason was that the two of them hadn't told her about Keith coming back until noon, when she finally woke up after their all- night sex session, which had been broadcast live to Keith.
She was so embarrassed by Keith's messages asking for nudes and eagerly describing how she couldn't wait to bury her face in her breasts and butt. At first, she was shocked by Keith's straightforwardness, but then Keith sent an image of her and Viana sucking Kevin's penis, asking if they both will suck her vagina lick that. That was the breaking point for Keyara, who erupted at both Kevin and Viana.
Now, they both sat silently, avoiding her gaze as she continued to seethe. Keyara looked at Viana with a mix of disgust and frustration. "I don't know about you, but I'm never showing my face to her after all this. It's so embarrassing to even think about..."
Kevin looked a bit frustrated as Keyara vented her anger on them. It wasn't like she hadn't enjoyed it, and he recalled the blind threesome they had with Keith before. "Aren't you going overboard a bit? You've shown her your pussy, so what's so tough about showing your face? You've seen hers too, so what's wrong with it?" he said.
Keyara looked at Kevin in shock, her cheeks turning red as she noticed Viana's amused gaze. She tried to retort but stopped, eventually sitting back in her seat with a cute pout.
"Did she tell you when she'd arrive?" Kevin asked, satisfied he had managed to make Keyara
silent.
"She mentioned it's going to take a week since she and the others have to change rides to get here," Viana replied, glancing at her watch. "It's strange. Despite a lot of talk about Den, there's no direct ship from our city to Den."
"It's not just our city. No nearby city has any vehicle going directly to it. Most go to the nearby cities around Den. There's no evidence, but some say the Imperium and Loviatro Emporium are trying to control all the routes to it, not just from our kingdom but from others too," Keyara said, looking out the window. She continued, "Den is changing the mood around our area a lot. Something big is going to happen, and from that creature we encountered at Nimbus Desire, it doesn't seem like it's going to be pleasant. I just hope Keith hasn't involved herself in something problematic like that."
Kevin had also felt a looming danger, and Keith's abrupt return only heightened that sense of unease. However, much of his worry had been resolved today. He had earned more than enough to cover both of his upgrade requirements. Just the replinum alone, which sold for 300 omnitokens per kilogram, brought him a total of 75,000 omnitokens from the 250 kilograms sold, plus an additional 3.75 million in units.
The buyer had only bought 20 kilograms of crimson vein alloy, and Kevin had stipulated that with every kilogram sold, he would deduct the price from the already reduced rate in
exchange for some weapons made from it. The buyer, seemingly aware of its use, didn't hesitate to accept this deal.
So, Kevin sold the 20 kilograms for a total of 80,000 omnitokens, easing his tension about the remaining two upgrade requirements, which he planned to address today. Additionally, he provided 20 kilograms extra for equipment. While Kevin initially wanted armor, the buyer suggested an Alchemy Furnace, a high-grade item Kevin had only heard of in passing. Seeing the opportunity, he didn't mind and placed the order.
Kevin's sense of danger was still present, but for now, his financial worries had been alleviated, allowing him to focus on his upgrades and preparations for whatever lay ahead. With everything in place, Kevin now just needed to wait and gather some additional items to sell until he reached the million mark. The new acquisitions from the system, including the essence extractor, were already proving useful and might expedite the process.
While he was confident in his own strength and could handle dangerous situations, he knew he wasn't alone. Many others depended on him, including Maria, Riya, Emma, Lora, Sia, and other vulnerable members of his harem.
Having such a large harem came with its own set of challenges, one of which was ensuring their protection. Kevin needed to be strong enough to safeguard them and respond to any threats that might arise.
Kevin knew it wasn't ideal for them to rely solely on him for their safety. Once Riya and the others completed some of their training, he planned to send them to lower cultivation grounds to gain experience.
He muttered to himself, "And I thought my workload was easing up." Shaking his head, he turned to Viana to divert his thoughts from the complications at hand. "Do you own any property in the city center?" he asked. After a brief pause, he added, "If you do, would you be willing to sell it to me?"
"We have a few properties," Keyara replied, "but most are either rented out or given to some of our retired employees." After a moment of consideration, she continued, "There is one that recently became available. It's smaller compared to the others, with only two rooms, a bit of extra space, and a kitchen. Each room has its own connected bathroom, so it's quite nice. I can offer it to you at a low price if you're interested. Plus, it's right in the heart of the city." Keyara glanced at her watch as she finished speaking.
