Chapter 143: Preparing For Crimson State!

Chapter 143: Preparing For Crimson State!

I may have successfully dodged the first massive volley of bullets, but as a genuinely concerned man, I walked directly over to my three Personal Maids at the bar counter and asked, "Ladies, don't give me the maid excuse, but let me know how you feel?"

Mei merely smirks and cutely winks at me, but she says absolutely nothing. Knowing her typical operative mindset, she doesn't care about the expanding household layout at all. Then Mercy, sitting up exceptionally straight, only nodded her head silently in response. This nonverbal communication is incredibly awkward, right? But Jenifer finally speaks up, shifting her weight as she properly conveys all three of their collective thoughts, "Master, the sheer fact you care about what your maids think is already enough. I personally think Kim Smith is a woman suited for our family. Well, her clumsiness is distressing, but her heart is her strongest quality. I could also tell from earlier, this turn of events was sudden for you, so relax."

While I was standing there talking to all three women, I adjusted my stance and casually asked, "Ah! By the way, did you talk with Mercy and Mei about the upcoming trip to Crimson?"

Mercy spoke up this time, her voice soft as she looked up from the counter, "Master, as much as I want to come, I will stay behind. Air travel might not be good if I am just carrying a child. The sudden pressure changes of travel might be harmful, if that is fine? But Mei and Jenifer are more than enough with your high skill, plus..."

Jenifer immediately steps in to address the political side of the issue, her posture turning formal, "The Mu family is at odds with the families of the north, so even though Mercy is your Personal Maid, the meetings would go smoother with the four northern families if she stayed behind this trip. When you officially are the Leader, they won't do anything but kowtow to Mercy, fufu."

I don't like the whole family hate-nonsense at all, but the safety of the baby part I can easily accept. I looked directly over at Mercy, and she leaned forward to offer a warm smile, "Master, it is only a weekend. Don't forget, I see you everyday. Jenifer here is going home, so let her lead this trip for you. Mei can do my role as well. I will loyally wait for your return."

Mei suddenly leans all the way into my personal space, her lips brushing my ear as she whispers suggestively, "Ufufu, If you are worried about morning shower play, I have you covered, lick."

The exact second Mei boldly licked my ear, Tina walked straight up from behind and locked her arms firmly around my chest. She squeezed me tightly as she chimed in, "I really wanted to go up north with you, but Leader said it would reduce your credibility until you take the Leadership top spot, plus I will be working anyway. So let Jenifer guide you. Also, don't be afraid to make examples of troublesome members."

I smoothly spun around inside her grip, pulling Tina flush into my arms as I looked down at her, "My goal is to make things easy for you. Do you want me to be a good cop or bad cop?"

Tina reached up to plant a soft kiss on my cheek, her eyes twinkling as she replied, "Bad cops are respected more, fufu."

The rest of our night at the mansion was exceptionally smooth, and I stayed the night over in Nadia hell. She was very unforgiving with her physical encounters, draining my energy completely.

The next day at University, the fact that Kate and Ana were officially confirmed to be on campus forced me to work a bit harder to keep the aggressive fans back.

Jenifer, matching me perfectly in her sleek black-suit, just fiercely glared down at some of the passing student body, making them think twice about approaching our space. Her official role in the elite Fire Birds is much more well known than even mine.

Right at the entrance of Kate and Ana's classroom, Kate stopped in her tracks and turned to look at me, "Rick, can you eat lunch with me today? I mean, can I join you guys?"

I turned my head to look at Jenifer, who smoothly pushed up her glasses with one finger before delivering the itinerary, "Teacher Long has reserved a BBQ House private room for us all today, so allowing Miss Kong to come will be no problem. Also, Miss Jill and Helen will come again."

I shrugged my shoulders calmly, adjusting my briefcase as I told her, "Sure, if you don't mind a lot of people talking with me at once, but we can go to Drama together after."

Kate looked incredibly happy with that arrangement, her shoulders relaxing as I guess she did not like eating in the rowdy student cafeteria yesterday.

She offered a bright smile, adjusting her bag over her shoulder, "I would love to eat there, thanks."

Then the Deva turned and went straight into her class, immediately being attacked by a heavy swarm of all her fellow students inside the room.

Jenifer, walking closely by my side on our way back down the corridor, asked me a bit reluctantly, "Master, when we travel to the Capital of Crimson, would you be willing to visit my Han family main branch?"

I let out a calm smile, looking over at her serious expression as I responded, "Only if that is what you want. Just let me know what I can do to make you happy, Jenifer."

Her blue-eyes squinted up at me under her bangs, and she let out a soft sigh, "Sigh, I do, but I don't want you to get pressured into northern politics too much. You are there to meet the Woo as well."

I tilted my head, keeping my voice low in the hallway, "Han and Woo are political rivals under the Feng then?"

She nodded her head firmly, her expression turning somber, "That is one of the reasons I never got along with Cat Woo. My aunt is the current Han Head, but I am the second niece. This was one of the reasons I joined the Fire Birds and became Tina's Personal Maid."

"So your father at Linda and my engagement party is the younger brother to your aunt, right?" I asked, calculating the lineage.

"Yes, and she, like my father, has a strict personality, very proper. But she did want to have lunch with the two of us. My father will be visiting at the same time, so that is why I must go if you allow it," she explained.

As we finally stood ready to enter our own classroom door, I reached out to pat her back gently, reconfirming my stance, "Sure thing, now let's go in, oh I almost forgot, mwah!"

Just as I opened the door, I quickly leaned in and sneaked a firm kiss straight onto her lips. I will keep doing this high-level maneuver until she completely stops blushing.

James, Jenifer, and I had smoothly come to our computers class today, and the exact second we stepped inside the class, we heard it.

Bang! Thud! Rattle!

Everyone in the class turned their heads to see that once again, Kim had dropped all her heavy books, walking straight into a computer chair and completely knocking it over onto the floor. She was completely red in embarrassment, her face flushing crimson as she looked everywhere in the room except for where I was currently sitting.

She scrambled to gather her things, awkwardly laughing it off, "Hah-aha, Oops-a-Daisy! I am a Klutz today."

Another helpful student quickly stepped in to pick up the overturned chair as Kim rushed behind her front desk, still desperately avoiding all eye contact with me. Wow, she is really exceptionally bad at playing it cool!

She cleared her throat loudly, trying to command the room, "Okay everyone, get your programs open, and we will set up a simple website."

The exact moment our eyes finally met across the rows, her face went totally flush again and she started to heavily stutter into the microphone, "Okay, n-now open to t-the saved F-file we started, and oh my where did I put that file?!"

One of the girls sitting over to the right side of the room looked up at the podium, asking out of genuine concern, "Teacher Smith, are you alright?"

Kim panicked instantly, waving her hands frantically in the air as she shouted back, "EVERYTHING IS FINE! I um, meant nothing is wrong, he-he?!"

Seeing her completely drowning on stage, I decided to throw her a lifeline, standing up from my seat to walk directly up to her main computer console before smoothly bringing up her lost file with a few clicks. I just grinned down at her completely flustered look, and finishing the task, I leaned in to calmly whisper, "It is just class, calm and breath, no one knows, well just Jenifer, but not James, now continue like normal."

Kim swallowed hard, her eyes darting around as she whispered back, "Ah, Thank you Mr Tang."

Then I walked back and sat right down so she could continue to teach the lesson. But after she made some more minor navigation errors on the projector, another girl sitting in the middle section raised her hand to ask the absolute wrong question, "Miss Smith, you are acting funny, did you get a boyfriend?"

Kim didn't even answer the girl, freezing completely like a poor deer caught in the headlights, which instantly confirmed the nosy student's suspicion to the entire class. Kim tried to recover, blurting out a very poorly constructed lie, "Ha ha, Of course not, I am just off the market to University students, oh, I meant I am off the market to all men. I um, won't talk about it!"

James leaned over toward me, asking his question in a tone that wasn't so quiet that Kim couldn't easily hear it from the front row, "Rick, she is acting funny, right? No I meant stranger than usual? She even forgot to call Akeno last night for their nightly chat."

I only offered a calm smile and a shrug of my shoulders to play it down, but Jenifer suddenly leaned in to tease from my other side, "Maybe she is nervous about going to BBQ House with us and Teacher Long?"

Jenifer telling me that secret now helped me completely understand the mental layout. Kim has to be in strict Teacher mode at lunch, and she is freaking out internally because she has to be around all my ladies at the same table, I get it now.

After the computers class finally concluded, I asked Jenifer to wait for me outside the classroom doors so I could properly calm down this massive ball of neurosis.

With just the two of us remaining inside the empty classroom, I walked up to her desk and asked, "Teacher Smith, did you sleep on it, and maybe change your mind?"

She stopped fumbling with her papers instantly, looking up at me with a bit of sheer panic in her green eyes as she blurted out, "Lords no Rick! I just did not sleep well due to being excited, and I am just a wreck because I don't know how to act now."

I stepped in to help her pack her scattered things into her briefcase, offering some solid advice, "To be honest, just act normal. We are not in a race and can just enjoy each other's company a bit. How about we go out on a date this weekend? Just you and me, do you enjoy something?"

Kim stopped moving, her face brightening slightly as she looked up, "Horseback-riding?"

I gave her an immediate nod of agreement, closing her briefcase for her, "Sure, but... You will have to teach me, I have never ridden a horse."

Kim looked at me as if I were some kind of alien lifeform, a wide, amused smile spreading across her face, "Rick, this is the first time, I think ever, I have heard you don't know how to do something, and it is something I can actually teach you?"

I offered a dry smile, shifting my weight against the edge of her desk as I countered, "Yeah, well it was not a skill I thought I would ever need in life, so..."

Kim looked around the empty classroom, and then seeing the coast was completely clear, she stepped forward and firmly pressed her lips against mine.

This time however, I smoothly inserted my tongue into her mouth, and she eagerly accepted the deeper touch without any hesitation. After a passionate minute of embracing, we finally stopped to catch our breath, and she licked her plump lips in a complete daze before she fully recovered.

She adjusted her collar, looking up at me with a soft gaze to confess, "I wanted to kiss you again before lunch, but I am looking forward to teaching you riding, Rick. Let us leave to eat, ha-ha."

I nodded, helping her secure the final latch on her briefcase since this plan is exceptionally easy for me, considering my Fire Birds Country Club Resort already has a full horse riding setup on the property.

Well, the rest of the day was mostly uneventful across the campus.

Our lunch meeting at the BBQ House was more about Helen and Jill completely hogging my attention during the entire lunchtime, while Tina completely ignored her sister's typical antics to focus on her food.

Victoria spent most of Kim's time locked in a deep conversation about the university, showing a lot of interest in Kim's advanced programming curriculum.

Drama class was completely drama-free for the time being. Teacher Song had the entire room learn and review the different production roles, tracking everything from the stage grips all the way up to the executive Producers in plays, TV shows, and movies. And to everyone's utter horror, I was able to answer every single technical question perfectly.

This unexpected display made Sam Sun panic heavily inside, because when he tried to step in and make me look completely stupid in front of the girls, it spectacularly backfired on him, making him look entirely inept. After class concluded, he literally left the auditorium crying to his mommy!

When I finally got back home that afternoon, the transport dealership delivered me an exact package replacement of my totaled 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Premium AWD. For some reason, Nadia was very happy to see the vehicle arrive, boldly claiming that she wanted to claim this new SUV's virginity in the driveway, sigh.

The rest of my week proceeded normally, with absolutely nothing out of the ordinary to report to the household.

But on the weekend, I went out riding on the resort trails with Kim, and thanks to my Acrobatics Master skill being active, I had absolutely no issue staying balanced on the leather saddle, but making the stubborn horse do exactly what I wanted was still incredibly tough for me. Kim was very happy to see me finally be bad at something for once, laughing at my awkward maneuvers. We definitely are getting much more comfortable together, fully accepting our rushing into a sudden engagement with one another.

On Sunday, I took Lucy out on our promised date, escorting her to that old Big Burger joint from our past. She made me sit in the exact same booth location as before, even though the entire restaurant layout had been completely remodeled since those early days.

We also had a highly serious talk regarding my upcoming trip to Crimson. She insisted that she will have both Mei and I use integrated body cams for her to see exactly what is going on around me, while she remains behind in Star City to monitor the feeds.

Time steadily ticked by, and the final week of January passed with our daily life becoming completely stable.

Kim's parents sent word that they will want to visit me and Kim at our place on Long Island at the end of February as the spring time nears us. And from what Kim told me about their letters, they seemed remarkably open to meeting me, despite my much younger age.

A bit of surprising news hit the wire recently, as Hope Song's Bar officially reopened its doors, and Scott Song had a completely tragic event happen to him this last weekend.

It seemed that in one of the bar's locked private rooms, an unknown actor had successfully used knockout gas on the entire group of partygoers. The gas affected Scott, Hope, and the group of women Scott was actively playing with at the time. The next morning, Scott was rushed directly to the hospital for severe burns suffered across his skin.

The unknown perpetrator had used a hot soldering-iron to heavily torture his stomach, chest, and back. Law Enforcement investigators found absolutely nothing on the scene, reporting no one coming or going from the establishment for miles around on the grid. The police inferred it must have been an inside job executed by the staff.

Unknown to me at the time, the knockout-gas had actually come directly from Chuck Ben's hands, and the true cause of Scott's severe scarring was due to payback for my old wounds. I never even bothered to investigate this incident myself. And not known until a while later down the line...

While Scott was getting treated in his hospital bed, he received an anonymous USB drive containing a graphic Sex Video starring Hope Song and Alex Renaldo, dated suspiciously around the exact time she originally got pregnant. Alex was not a suspect in this stealth USB delivery, due to currently being stationed out in the UK of America.

So even without me actively messing with poor Scott, the man seems to have successfully made lethal enemies absolutely everywhere he goes.

And now that brings us directly to February 1st, Friday evening.

Soon I will need to leave the mansion entirely to catch my scheduled flight on the Fire Birds Private Jet.

I am currently in bed inside the master bedroom with Victoria, who purposely took the entire night off from her executive duties to be with me before I leave the state for a full weekend. I will not arrive back at the house until 5 am Monday morning.

Victoria is riding on top of me in a tight cowgirl position, with her large breasts bouncing beautifully with her rhythmic up and down motions. My thumb is currently playing with her sensitive clit while she is vigorously moving her hips, holding in her loud moans against my chest.

I decided to stop that specific stimulation so she won't finish too soon, and I motioned with my hands for us to briefly disconnect and change our physical positions, "Let's finish with me behind you."

Vicky leaned down to kiss me deeply while smoothly getting on all fours on the mattress, turning her head back to tell me, "Rick, I am off the pill now."

Inserting myself back inside Vicky's tight heat, I look down at her arched back to tell her, "Well, I am going to keep it up till I have the family you want."

Grabbing her wide hips firmly with both hands, I begin to pull her body straight into me while I slam deep inside of her, and now she is moaning out loud without restraint. Doggie style is undeniably Vicky's favorite position, and she absolutely likes it when I go hard with her like this.

Loud, wet-slapping sounds echo clearly in our quiet room as she leans her upper body back up towards me for me to kiss her over her shoulder. While still forcefully thrusting from behind, my left hand reaches around to squeeze her left-breast, noting that I can barely get my fingers over the massive size of it.

Vicky grips the bedsheets tightly, arching her back further as she cries out, "Ah~! Rick, I am cumming~!"

I am incredibly close to my own release, so I thrust a bit faster into her, trying to finish my load while she is actively cumming. And soon, I can feel the intense sensation as I am completely filling her deep inside with my seminal fluid.

Soon, Vicky and I finally stop our heavy movements, and her smooth back rests flat against my chest as I wrap my arms around to hold her body close.

I lean in to whisper directly in her ear, "My wife, I hope you are happy."

Her right hand reaches up to pull my face down to hers for a lingering kiss, while her left-hand is softly feeling her full belly, with my member still resting inside her. She stopped the kiss, looking back with absolute devotion to say, "Right now at this very moment, I am glad to be a woman, and your wife, and hopefully, the mother of our child. I love you Rick."

I hold her tightly like this for a long while, gently sucking on her neck to make her tense body go completely limp with pleasure. Then after about ten minutes of resting, we sadly part our coupling to prepare for the departure.

Vicky and I take a quick shower together, and she insists on dressing me herself instead of letting a maid handle it. We just silently enjoy the rare moment of being a normal husband and wife. At the very end of the process when I was fully dressed in my gear, she adjusted my coat lapels and told me, "I know this is your first time flying, but don't worry, I do it all the time. I wish I could go, but I have work with my company and you are going to be working as well. Also, I will make sure all the wives are taken care of while you are gone, so just focus on your business in Crimson State. Now go, the girls are waiting for you, my husband."

With a final, firm kiss at the bedroom door, I was off to say my remaining goodbyes to the household...

Arriving at the Star City small-airfield located right near the International field, we come to a halt in front of our Private Jet, reserved exclusively for the Fire Birds Leader and Vice Leader.

Zoe smoothly opened the limousine door for the three of us to get out onto the tarmac.

I stepped out first, dressed in my sharp black-suit with a gold-tie, covered by my heavy black-longcoat.

Jenifer stepped out right behind me, wearing a tailored black-lady-suit with matching gold-accessories under her own black longcoat.

Mei followed last, wearing a sleek black-pants-suit with a black-longcoat as well, purposely going for more of a professional bodyguard look as opposed to her standard maid attire. This outfit shift is because it is significantly colder in Crimson State, being positioned much closer to the top of the world.

Both women are wearing their long hair pinned back in a tidy, elegant bun to look exceptionally professional. No matter where we travel, they always look absolutely top notch for any official occasion.

A group of ten uniformed Fire Birds members quickly retrieve our heavy bags from the white stretch limousine trunk, moving efficiently to put them directly into the luggage bins of the red and black private jet. Looking up the steps, there are two female pilots and one female flight attendant on duty, who was obviously picked by the department for her charm and beauty.

The three crew members stand in a line to greet me respectfully, "Vice Leader Tang. We are very excited to finally be at your service, please always count on us."

I can easily tell from their rigid posture that the women are incredibly nervous due to never meeting me personally before, and so I decide to break the heavy ice with a quick joke, "Well, this is my first time ladies, so please be gentle with me!"

Apparently my joke didn't land right away with the crew, their expressions freezing, so I cleared my throat to clarify the context, "Cough, I meant I have never flown before."

The flight attendant warmly smiled at that, shaking her head in amusement as she told me, "No sir, we got your joke, we are only surprised you are so lighthearted, please let's get you onboard, or we will miss our take off time."

So the three of us were led on board by the staff, and the exact second I stepped inside, I was heavily surprised at the interior layout of the plane.

Thankfully it has a full, operational restroom on board. But this interior is honestly a bit too comfy for a syndicate organization, right?!

Two large, three-person leather couches face each-other directly across the aisle, designed to double as two plush beds for sleeping during long overnight transits. Then toward the front section are four massive armchairs made specifically for long, relaxing flights, situated perfectly for people to have an enjoyable conversation or consume mini-table meals together.

The entire plane is decorated with a clean white interior aesthetic, featuring a full service bar along with a dedicated meal preparation area near the cabin entry. The sound system integrated into the walls of the plane is remarkable, and it even has a hidden hideaway TV screen for entertainment purposes.

The sexy attendant points directly toward the four armchairs, stepping into the cabin to explain the safety protocol, "Mr Tang sir, for takeoff and landing, we need to be belted into these seats, if you would sir. I will buckle you in nice and tight."

I smoothly sat down on the left-side seat facing toward the cockpit, while Jenifer sat right in front of me, and Mei took the armchair on the right side facing directly toward me as well.

The nice smelling woman leaned over my lap to buckle the strap, briefly putting her hand on my shoulder as she looked up to say, "Once we are cruising, I will get up and take care of anything you want, food, drink, or just relaxation."

Jenifer immediately squinted her blue eyes at the attendant's lingering presence, so I reached across the space to gently pat her knee, offering a quick distraction, "Can I rest my head on your lap later?"

Jenifer's eyes glinted at the request, and she seemed to have lost her immediate frustration with the attendant. It appeared that even Jenifer had a protective side when it came to her master.

Mei let out a soft chuckle from her seat, shifting against her safety harness to join in the conversation, "And while she does that, I'll make sure you have everything else you need, Mr Tang!"

I could only shake my head at her playful look, realizing that traveling with this group was always going to be an adventure.
