104 A Peculiar Offer

The next day after an eventful stream collaboration with his female classmate, Leo received a timely notification on the way to the family restaurant while browsing on his phone.

"That was quick. Didn't expect Marin to already get paid." Hiding behind his mother's voluptuous assets and away from the privy eyes of other passengers on the bus, he excitedly opened up his bank account.

The boy was soon left speechless by the amount of cash that was deposited into his savings. The payment was only half of the sum they earned from a single stream; yet, it was enough for him to reconsider his life choices.

Marin must have been a lot richer than she appears to be, but she still acted frugally every day from the boy's impression. Regardless, the lucrative business revealed a whole new world that was beyond his imagination.

Leo was tempted to return for more rounds; however, recalling the fervent lustful gaze of the young lady staring down on his crotch, the boy could only let out a small sigh and quickly forget about the plan.

Noticing the conflicted feeling of her son, Maria gently patted on his head.

"I am fine, mom."

The patient was only barely cured from depravity not so long ago by his endeavoring treatment; his conscience won't allow risking her sentience as a human being for some extra bucks, despite however wishful those eyes of Marin's were for wanting to become his mindless personal cocksleeve.

"I guess I let out too much again. Ayaka, why didn't you hold back some of them?" Leo silently spoke in his mind.

"I did!! Don't you know how hard you were ejaculating!?! No way could I have stopped your stupidly thick cheese from coming out!" The fox spirit then took a pause before continuing

"...plus, I would like to stay conscious a little while longer this time around." From her tone, it seemed like the past few days had been rough for her.

The boy supposed it couldn't be helped; he was all too familiar with such pleas from the ladies that led to a path of no return, as he had empirically observed many times from the depraved victims locked inside the dungeon.

It would be best to let her body cool down before he pays her another visit, the considerate boy thought while feeling his mother's warmth.

-------------------------

Arriving at the family restaurant, Leo led his mother to the back kitchen to deliver some of the special ingredients for today's menu. It has become a routine for him to help out the family business over the weekends.

But at the guest room, he overheard a certain conversation between the landlady and a female guest in a business suit.

"Hmph! Sorry miss, things aren't going well on our end either. It is decided that Freeman will be pulling out their investment. With the economic outlook for next year, tourism at Halfmoon would be a failed business anyway."

"Are there no other options? We can add a few of our offshore isles as collateral." The landlady calmly offered.

"Ha! What could those fishing spots be possibly worth? Nowadays it is too dangerous to fish so deep into the ocean without getting attacked. Though I must say the food here is pretty good, thank you for the invitation. I think you all should forget about the island and expand your business here instead."

The woman got up from the couch and made way to the exit; but did not forget her manners despite ignoring it for the most part throughout the conversation.

"We will pay the withdrawal as stated in the contract. Good day."

The landlady Mira watched their biggest investor leave and let out a deep sigh. It appears that the re-construction of the island harbor town will be temporarily postponed. With more supernatural cases on the rise, the economy overall was taking a hit as people transitioned into a new environment.

"Can I kill her?" Another woman was standing next to the landlady; and behind her smiling face, veins were popping on her forehead.

"Relax, Anna."

"They care too much about their reputation to terminate the contract over that little sum of money." The big sister said in a vehement tone. "Something is obviously not right."

Ever since that day, when Mira took on a tough stance by stepping on a certain trouble maker that happened to be an important figure's son, an invisible force had been at work trying to undermine the family business.

The girls had caught thugs trying to sabotage the restaurant at night on several occasions, even attempting to sneak into the kitchen to add questionable solutions inside the ingredients. And every once in a while, complaints or lawsuits against the restaurant about the strangest thing would come and occupy their time.

Fortunately, all of these thus far only amounted to minor inconvenience due to the family women's capable abilities.

"I know, it must be them pulling the strings again. It's my problem, let me handle it. But for now, the island's reconstruction..."

"What about the island?" It was then, the boy who heard bits and pieces of the conversation announced his presence after watching the rude woman leave in a hurry.

The two ladies nodded their heads toward each other and decided to reveal the inevitable news. Skipping some of the minor details that a head of the family shouldn't be bothered with, a brief explanation was given to their young master.

"...so basically, unless we acquire the fund we need in time, the girls on the island will have to endure this winter in rudimentary shelters." The landlady rubbed her temple.

"That could be a problem, most of the islanders are still normal people." Leo felt worried; given its location in the north, winter on the island was extremely cold as he had experienced firsthand.

"It's not the biggest deal. They could just use the generosity of my little brother to help keep themselves warm. My body could feel hot for days with enough inside me." Anna jested, but everyone seemed to understand what she was implying.

"Hmm... there are only a little over a thousand on the island..." Regardless, the boy innocently considered the idea for a few moments and lightly nodded his head in serious thought.

Anna and the landlady shuddered with cold sweat. Was the whole family not enough for their little stud that he barely hesitated before moving his thoughts onto the entire island?

"Ahem, Leo. Don't worry about it for now, we still have enough time to figure this out."

"Yes, young master. It's approaching noon, why don't you take lady Maria to the table. We have a special menu today."

------------------------

After a hefty meal with the busty waitresses pampering the boy from all sides, literally spoon feeding him under the jealous gaze of other men, it was time to send his mother to the twins for a rather sudden health checkup.

Maria had been showing steady signs of increased sentience, but Yuria and Filia had to remind him that their elder sister was technically not alive, and would still require constant delicate nourishment of his enriched life force to fuse her soul with the body.

But while he loitered around the restaurant while waiting for his mother, a familiar voice called out to him.

"Leo? Is that you?"

"Aunty Sora?" It was Timmy's mother, but his best friend was not present; instead, there was another odd looking man at the table.

"What a coincidence! Come join me for lunch."

The boy wanted to reject the offer, as he just had his fill moments ago; however, seeing the myriad of dishes placed on the table, he delegated the decision-making process to his stomach.

"Uhm... this is...?"

"This is Jim, my previous partner. This treat is on him, but don't mind him and enjoy the food~~" Then she turned to the man. "Jim, this is Leo, a close friend of my son."

"Our son." Jim retracted his glance from the boy who already dug into the food and corrected the young mother. "Anyway, where did we leave off? Right... please Aoi, I really need you in my next project."

"Again, I have already retired! And you are asking a mother of two children to do it with some stranger!? All for your stupid inspiration?!"

"I have no choice... you were the reason why I succeeded! Right now...right now... if my next work doesn't sell, my dreams will be over."

The man was a director of many questionable films, and the meeting of Aoi in the early days of his career, a beauty with immense talent in the art of lewdness, was the sole reason why he was able to propel to a greater height.

In his eyes, regardless of her occupation, the woman was a perfect match and they married for a few eventful years.

Yet, the two divorced shortly after Reina was born. Aoi wanted to finally settle down and focus on raising their kids; however, the father wanted to continue to pursue his dream and neglected his children. It was a family dispute that remained unsolved.

"Please, you are my only hope! You can pick anyone you want as your partner, on whatever terms."

"Anyone...?" The woman's tender heart softened for a second.

"Yes, as long as you are happy, I just need you to take the lead in my project."

"Then... Leo, would you like to be my partner?" Her tone suddenly became lewdly lascivious.

"What?!?" The man blurted out in surprise.

"Huh? What partner?" Swallowing down the food in his throat, the boy asked in confusion.

"You can't possibly ask a kid! No way he has the stamina, size or the fortitude of a professional." The man exclaimed.

"Oh? Are you so sure? ~~ But you said I could pick anyone, and I am picking him. I won't do it with anyone else." The young mother had a charming smirk.

"???"

Leo looked back and forth between the two, oblivious to the entire conversation as he was just dedicating his attention to the food on the table. *Cough* No, he was actually thinking really deeply about the family's financial problems while moving his mouth.

The man took a deep glance at the boy and sighed. Despite the innocent baby face and his lean figure, at least he seemed to have well-defined muscles on his body. He hoped the boy was as promising as well down there.

"Fine... kid, are you willing to do me a favor and accept her request?"

"I am not sure about this? What are you ta..." But before he finished his question, the man interjected.

"We will pay you ten thousand grams and ten percent of the project revenue. If it's become a big hit, we will add extra bonus cash."

"I am in!"

The for sake of his family, the boy was willing to take on any challenges.
