Chapter 39

Avendial glanced at the message and tossed his phone onto the seat next to him. He pressed the accelerator pedal mercilessly, and with a thunderous VROOM, the onyx-black beauty roared to life, shattering the tranquility of the night and cutting through the air as it raced toward the city center.

As Avendial's onyx-black sports car raced through the night, its powerful engine roared, shattering the tranquility of the evening. The vehicle cut through the air, headed for the heart of the capital city. There, a magnificent mansion stood, serving as the headquarters for Croceus Groups, a symbol of economic power in Country A.

Guarding the mansion's entrance were dozens of highly qualified bodyguards, many of whom were Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment realm, showcasing the company's formidable economic prowess. Avendial's arrival, announced by the thunderous VROOM, put the entire security team on alert.

The car swiftly passed through the massive metal gates, traversing a kilometer-long driveway in a matter of seconds, a testament to both the vehicle's power and Avendial's driving skills. The car's doors swung open, revealing Avendial's imposing figure. His dark, penetrating eyes seemed to trap even the moonlight, leaving bystanders awestruck.

Inside the mansion, the atmosphere shifted as well. "Sir, Second Madam has also arrived," a staff member informed him. Acknowledging the message, Avendial proceeded inside. The moment his footsteps crossed the threshold, he was greeted with the enthusiastic voice of his daughter, Rika.

"Daddy~" Rika's three tails fluttered with excitement as she rushed into his embrace, giggling. Avendial hugged his beloved daughter and ruffled her hair. As he looked into her sparkling red ruby eyes, he asked with a fond smile, "Oh my, it seems like this little beast is even more energetic today, doesn't she?"

"Hehe," Rika giggled mischievously, her little arms wrapping tightly around him. His eyes widened briefly before relaxing as he patiently waited to hear her words. "Daddy, Mommy fooled that woman again."

Upon hearing Rika's words, his gaze shifted to a woman standing just a short distance away. She had flowing blonde hair that seemed to shimmer under the moonlight's gentle touch. Her emerald eyes sparkled like a tranquil, wet lake, enhancing her ethereal beauty. By her side stood another woman, her ruby eyes averted, her silver hair glistening with the essence of the moonlight.

"Hm, is that so, my dear? You teased my love like that?" he asked playfully.

He carried Rika, who clung to him like a koala, and approached the woman with the ruby eyes. His gaze turned towards Alisia, who wore a small, knowing smile on her face.

Avendial then took Meiyue into his embrace, using one arm while Rika didn't seem to mind sharing her dad's arms with her. He asked gently, "What happened, my love? Why are you upset?"

With a warm and soothing voice, Meigue couldn't help but stop averting her gaze as her enchanting Ruby eyes locked with those deep, dark orbs, causing her to once again fall under their spell.

"Nothing happened," she whispered, wrapping her arms around him, and even adding Rika to the embrace. Rika burst into laughter, and Meiyue's face turned a deep shade of crimson due to embarrassment.

"Hahaha, Daddy, she's lying! Mommy fooled her, and she doesn't want to look foolish in front of you," Rika gleefully exclaimed, referring to his first wife as "mother." Avenidal couldn't help but glance at Alisia, who seemed to understand the situation, and he couldn't help but smile as he folded his arms, silently commenting on her behavior, 'This woman.'

Avenidal shook his head, watching his wife's antics before they both burst into laughter. Alisia joined in, embracing her husband as they stood in the hall. Many maids and servants, who were usually divided into two factions, couldn't help but feel the warmth of this happy family, where both of their mistresses, who typically displayed a cold demeanor, were now happily nestled in a man's embrace.

"Meoww~" A cat's voice interrupted their tender moment, and their attention turned to the feline. Before the cat could leisurely lick its paws, an unseen force lifted it into the air, its tongue left hanging mid-lick, and its golden eyes met Meigue's Ruby ones.

"Hehehe, Zyrwax, why do you always leave me alone?" Rika teased, holding the floating cat, which seemed to gaze inquisitively at the man holding his two wives.

"'Human, can't you control your children?'" the cat seemingly questioned. Ignoring the cat's words, Avenidal moved with his two wives to the sofa, taking a seat.

"So, now tell me, what happened?" Avenidal inquired, observing Meiyue's averted gaze and Alisia's slight chuckle. He felt a twinge of sympathy for his super-strong wife, who appeared to have fallen into a trap set by this mischievous blonde demon. After pondering for a moment, he started to piece together what might have occurred, causing his hands to slip from Meiyue's shoulders.

She let out a startled gasp as she felt his hand gently touch her furry tails. He leaned in to sniff the furry, fluffy tails, his eyes widening in surprise. Meiyue turned to Alisia, who was looking at him with a sly smile, and couldn't help but think, 'Really, Alisia?'

Understanding his words, Alisia averted her eyes, and Meiyue couldn't help but sigh, thinking, 'Sigh, this woman.'

"Oh, what is this delightful fragrance?" Avenidal inquired, and Meiyue turned to look at him. Seeing the surprise on his face, she felt that all her efforts had paid off. Excitedly, she replied, "Fufu~, This is Lavender shampoo I used. Alisia told me it's your favorite."

Turning his gaze towards his blonde wife, Avenidal raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it? I guess I forgot." He found his wife's innocence amusing, but he still couldn't understand what Rika meant about "fooling" Meiyue. "Though the maids did a great job washing them," he added, as he gently caressed her fluffy tails that shone like ethereal moonlight.

"No, no, I did it myself. Alisia told me not to let anyone else touch my tail except my husband."

"Hahahahaha!" Rika, playing with Zyrglax, burst into laughter upon hearing her mother's innocence. Alisia joined her daughter in laughter, then moved to pick up Rika and hold her in her arms. As they all laughed, Meiyue's face turned crimson. She looked down, clenching her fists, and her internal energy started to leak due to her emotions. Avenidal hugged her to calm her swirling shame, saying, "How cute. I really love you, Meiyue."

Hearing this, Alisia smiled and went to prepare something to eat for everyone with Rika in her arms.

"By the way, Meiyue, did you bring what I asked you for?" Avenidal turned his eyes downward toward the woman snuggled in his chest as she retreated and looked towards him. She replied, "Yes, here."

As she spoke, the air around her hands began to swirl, forming a small black vortex, creating a pathway to another dimensional space. Her hand entered the space and retrieved a small gem.

Avenidal smiled as he looked at the dark gem in Meiyue's hands. He turned to her Ruby eyes that seemed to be waiting for praise, and without further words, their lips met in a long-lasting kiss.

After having a peaceful dinner with his family, Avendial stood on the balcony of his room, gazing towards the sky.

"Should this be enough, right?"

[Yes]

Upon hearing Zyrglax's voice, a glint passed through his eyes as he looked at the Black Gem in his hands.

"How many days are remaining until he arrives?" Avendial inquired, recalling that it was time for another bet to be made.

[Son of Heaven will come out in a month with his master to venture into the City market of Country E and will fall for a Heroine there.]

"I guess I have to go to Country E soon." His dark eyes fixed on the sky, as they seemed not to reflect any starlight but rather absorb it within.

Knock knock!

Startled by the sudden sound of a knock on the door, he quickly made his way towards it. As he opened the door, a heartwarming scene unfolded before his eyes.

Three people were waiting outside, all dressed in cozy nightwear. A woman with lovely blonde hair held a small girl in her arms, who clutched a teddy bear tightly. Next to her, another woman with fluffy furry ears and nine majestic tails stood, her gaze directed sideways, and she held a pillow in her arms.

His eyes widened in surprise as he couldn't help but smile, exclaiming, "Aren't you guys something else?"

In response to his words, a small koala jumped out of Alisia's embrace, and the little girl excitedly declared, "Daddy, Rika will sleep with daddy!"

He chuckled and then turned to the two women. They exchanged a knowing look and swiftly enveloped him in a warm hug, both saying in unison, "Of course, we want to sleep with Daddy too."
