Chương 495: Chapter 496: Heartless Aimi

"Oh, really?" Rowena replied before she began to inspect the ring Adam had chosen for her closely. [OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Wow. Red isn't my favourite colour as I prefer blues and greens, but even I think that ring is nice.] [OracleRomy (Elysium): I agree. It's strange. When I lived during that time, Jenix jewellery never appealed to me. But now that I see them again, I find they are quite appealing.] [HackerSu (Trillion): It's really nice. You know he went with the blood-red gems to match her hair and eye colour, which means he will probably go with something turquoise for Diva Lorelie. But I wonder what he will choose for Stace.] [OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Are there any with pink jewels?] [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): There are, though I wonder if you will get one. 😏] [OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): I definitely plan to get one.] [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): Planning to get one and actually getting one are two different things.]"Nervous?" Shalendra asked with a smile as she saw the nervous look that Adam was trying and failing to hide.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Adam scoffed.

"Haha, sure, sure," Shalendra replied after laughing. Finally, Rowena nodded in approval before turning to Adam with a happy smile and saying, "I approve. I will be happy to accept this ring as a symbol of our matrimony, darling." [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Symbol of their matrimony? She's totally taking this seriously.] [HackerSu (Trillion): I have a feeling that if Adam really gives her that ring, he will never be able to get rid of her.] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Why would any man want to get rid of a woman with an ass like that?] [Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): You took the words out of my mouth.] [Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Err, perhaps because they're only supposed to be faking their relationship, you idiot.] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): And? My original statement still stands. Name one straight man in the universe who wouldn't fake a relationship with Diva Rowena if it means they end up in one for real.] [MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): It's not like he knew they would end up in a relationship.] [CEOHopkins (Earth): She's been hinting at it and flirting with him ever since they travelled back in time.]"Good," Adam replied with evident relief on his face that made Rowena giggle happily.

"And you said you weren't nervous," Shalendra teased, causing Adam to look away and scratch his cheek. The two women continued to playfully tease Adam for a few minutes until Falenas finally returned. Universal Year 3247.

"Counsellor Aimi, what a pleasant surprise," a distorted voice said from a holographic screen before Aimi that showed nothing but static.

"Stow your pleasantries, Mr Mysterious. I'm here to discuss business, not pleasantries," Aimi replied. Mr Mysterious's distorted voice laughed slightly before asking, "Very well, and what can our organisation do for you?"

"I need you to acquire me a copy of the updated tournament plans for the UMB Cup."

"Really? I was under the impression that you had already acquired them," Mr Mysterious replied in mock surprise.

"You were aware of that?" Aimi asked in alarm.

"We're aware of many things. For instance, we know that you gave those plans to your nephew." If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"You're spying on me?" Aimi asked in anger.

"Not at all, we simply like to keep an eye out for trouble that might be approaching our 'friends'. For instance, I suggest you end your illicit relationship with your nephew."

"WHAT!" Aimi shouted in shock.

"No need to be so surprised; neither of you has done a very good job covering it up. I mean, meeting up at your own home, how reckless. If it weren't for us helping you cover it up behind the scenes, the news of your illicit relationship would already be common knowledge." Aimi was silent for a few moments as she let the gravity of the distorted voice sink in before she forced herself to remain calm as she asked, "Why are you telling me this now? From the sounds of it, you have known about it for a while."

"As I said, we look out for our friends, and I wanted to let you know that you should end this before your nephew no longer satisfies you."

"What do you mean, no longer satisfies me?"

"I was always curious as to why you never questioned how your nephew's dick suddenly grew so much bigger. I guess you never took care of him as a child and saw it."

"What are you talking about?" Aimi asked with a frown.

"I'm assuming a woman in power like yourself has heard of the illegal drug, Biggus Dickus?"

"So it's regarding that," Aimi said in understanding before adding, "I'm fully aware he's used that drug before every meeting with me in order to satisfy me." This time, it was Mr Mysterious's distorted voices' turn to sound surprised as they asked, "Oh! You knew?"

"Of course. You think I can't put two and two together?" Aimi scoffed before continuing.

"I know Taiki had dealings with the Nagareens long before the UMB Cup, which is where he got the drug from, and I have also seen the old comments on Xer-verse about him having a small dick. I can also guess that it's they who want him to steal the plans and that if he doesn't, they have probably threatened to stop supplying him with the drug."

"And this doesn't bother you? He's your nephew after all?" Mr Mysterious asked in amusement.

"Why would it? Taiki's only role is to please me in the bedroom, just like it's my husband's role to hang on my arm and help me build my public image. If someone doesn't serve a purpose, I have no use for them," Aimi replied in a flat voice as if everything she said was a simple fact.

"How heartless," Mr Mysterious said in amusement before asking, "but are you aware of the side effects?"

"Side effects?" Aimi asked with a frown before adding, "Is this connected with how you think Taiki will eventually be unable to satisfy me?"

"Correct. Biggus Dickus has a rather nasty side effect. Every time its effect wears off, the natural size of the dick shrinks."

"Excuse me?" Aimi said in surprise.

"Supposedly, it shrinks until there is nothing left and no longer has any effect. Your nephew must have had an embarrassingly small dick size if he has yet to notice. Apparently, it has a greater effect on those with a smaller dick size, but it also takes longer for one to notice the side effects since there is less to shrink," Mr Mysterious's distorted voice said with a chuckle.

"Fucking idiot," Aimi cursed.

"So what are you going to do? Do you still want our help in acquiring the information on the UMB cup?"

"Depends on the price. The amount I'm willing to spend has unsurprisingly just dropped."

"I'm surprised that you're still interested at all."

"That idiot is still useful for a little longer and besides, he only needs to satisfy me until I find a replacement."

"Such a caring aunt you are," Mr Mysterious said with another chuckle before adding, "The cost this time is a share of information."

"Explain," Aimi replied, in mild surprise, since she had previously always paid for their services with credits.

"We want all the information your race has on the mech known as Spector Unit Six," Mr Mysterious replied.

"The mech that competed in the UMB Cup opening ceremony?" Aimi replied.

"Correct. We are interested in its beam-cancelling tech and happen to know that the Taiki… the Catonian ship, not your nephew, managed to retrieve one of its arms."

"You already know that? I found out only a short time ago myself."

"As I said before, we know things. We know, for instance, that it is being transported to the Catonian research and development department two. Normally, if we had no other choice, we would just intercept the Taiki and take the arm for ourselves. However, we know that would raise a lot of questions, but fortunately, you contacted us at an opportune time. All you have to do is send us a copy of all the data the research and development department collects on the arm."

"You can't seriously expect me to agree to this; that data is worth far more than just the plans to the UMB Cup," Aimi replied.

"We will naturally supply you with the information you desire first, since it will take time for the research and development department to gather and catalogue their findings."

"It's still not enough," Aimi replied adamantly.

"Such a shrewd woman," Mr Mysterious replied before going quiet for a few moments before speaking again.

"I can't believe Rowena is the first one to get some jewellery from Adam," Lorelie remarked as she looked at the stream that showed Rowena playing with the new ring that Adam had just placed on her fourth finger on her left hand.

"At least you're both guaranteed your own rings," Eri remarked.

"I'm so fucking jealous," Aphrodite remarked as she punched the cushion next to her angrily.

"I don't know how I feel about this," Stacey said as she stared at the stream with a confused look.

"We knew it was going to happen," Lorelie stated with a smile.

"At least you're happy about this," Stacey pouted.

"Look, it's good for both Adam and the family. Also, it's not like you have to have sex with Rowena now that she's part of the harem," Lorelie replied.

"There is no way I'm having sex with my own grandmother," Stacey stated adamantly before realising something and adding, "I also never agreed to let her join."

"Sure, sure," Lorelie replied with a knowing smile.

"Family? I thought it was a harem?" Eri asked in confusion.

"It's both," Lorelie replied.

"DAMN YOU, ROWENA, YOU BITCH!" Revi screamed angrily before incinerating a cushion that was next to her with her Phoenix flames.
