It took me roughly about an hour and 2 cups of iced coffee to finished introducing myself to Selene and Scarlett, I told them what I can do, what I can get and have and just what is my true goal in this life is. Naturally the entire time they too have questions on their own and each time they asked me something, I have answer to their questions. Still, it was a relief that the 2 of them did not sees me like an alien at all, but rather they were pleased, excited and also impressed that I have such an extraordinary capability. The ability to be able to get almost anything that a person wanted, and with a resource capacity to built an entire nation from ground up, this is certainly something that can be considered both good and also bad.
"Your ability is just what every city, towns and village wanted, Darling… if it was known to the outsiders… they would be hellbent on capturing you at all cost…".
"War might break… if capturing you weren't enough, best believed that they would even get to a point where they would cut off all your limbs and then just have you pumping out resources all your life… as for us… your wives, we would simply be killed…". (Scarlett)
Selene and Scarlett simply said as they both sipping on their iced tea.
"I know that… that is why, I am always careful with everything I let out in the open and only sold them in a small amount… making it looked realistic in terms of amount and numbers…".
I tried to hold back on the amount of the thing that I sold and also the quality of all the things that I sold, the sourdough bread and the burger that I sold at my stall, were all substandard products that Is sold cheaply in the online store. The sort of things that were already near its expiry date and were sold in bulk just to clean the store stocks.
"I hate to say this, Azra… but you are not careful enough, as you thought you did…those Sourdough bread and those veggies and condiments in your burgers… those thing…are rare and expensive as heck…". (Scarlett)
Scarlett facts just smacked me across my consciousness.
"That's right…. Those Sourdough bread for example… it was at the level of a pre-war era… it was so high quality, that that sort of bread did not exist anywhere in this world anymore…even the bread that were sold in the city got at least 1 or 2 percent or radiation in it, and that is already known as the high standard and the most expensive bread in the entire world….". (Selene)
Being a gentle mature wife that she is, Selene gently put her hand on my arm and squeezing it, as she laid down the facts that I don't know yet.
"Damn… I see how it is now…".
I supposed even Natasha knowledge overlooked this part, my cautious attempt still doesn't make do at the moment, I am selling good stuff like it was nothing.
"Just how low should I go then?".
"Whether you like it or not… we had to lower more of our standard products… either we made the bread itself from scratch here in our home…which would follow this world standard, but it would still be the best….". (Selene)
"Or…we had to sell our Sourdough bread, in a much smaller quantity... like cutting the current sourdough bread portion into 5 cuts and each single cuts would be one sourdough bread that we would sell to the customers…". (Natasha)
Natasha aired her opinion on the matter as well, which got approval from Selene and Scarlett. In another words, in order to not put a giant target on our back, we had to lower our product standard to this world current standard. Which not a decision that I like to make, my conscience screaming at me to just ignore it, as I do want to collect some good karma in this world, but my survival instinct told me I had to do what they said.
"Sigh~ …Can we just lowered the quality of our stuff… but still above the standard of stuffs in this world? …I wanted to, you know… help the people a little bit…. And also, we need to build our good reputation as well… just so people would seek our product for a long time…".
As I pinched the bridge of my nose, Natasha comes behind me and massage my shoulders, as she smiled at Selene and Scarlett, my ladies come to understanding about me at that point, I suppose.
"Then, I supposed we had to take the second options… changing the portion sized and increased the pricing by at least 10%... that should do it, Darling…". (Selene)
Selene said as she warmly smiled at me as she massages my arm.
"You are a good man, Babe… I supposed that is why I am inclined to marry you I guess…Hahaha...". (Scarlett)
"I've told you, right… our husband is the best man in this world… haha…". (Natasha)
Scarlett said as she slapped my thigh and laugh. Natasha hugged my neck and give me a light peck on my cheek feeling rather proud of me, just being myself. For that, we have now reached an agreement on how we are going to operates our business from now on, as long as we have yet to set our own permanent place and opening stall all over the place, we will had to practice this world common merchant etiquette, so that we would not stand out so much and just be so suspicions to all that sees us.
"By the way, Darling… what should we do from now on?". (Scarlett)
"You two? …well, you can do whatever you like with your private time… work on your own thing, whether to lounge around or just enjoy your hobbies I guess… as long as you don't betray the family and forget that you are my wives… that is good enough for me…".
"Not that, you silly goose…. We meant, what are your planning now… Station Ail and Wail is already out of the picture… surely, we would not be laying around here doing nothing right?". (Scarlett)
Selene and Scarlett laugh and chuckled to my response, the 2 of them had already got the rough pictures of what I usually do and how I do things, I supposed, Natasha really taught them well.
"Hmm… I think we should open our stall at Rat Town for one week…I also got that debt that I need to settle before we do anything else…".
"I agreed, debt in this world always need to be settled… if not, it would turn into something worse…". (Selene)
Selene went on to explained to me the repercussion of not settling debt in this world, refusing to pays one debt would always end up to resulting to a much worse situations, such as plummeted reputation, getting bounty placed on one head, became a slave and even ended up dead. Unless one is ballsy enough to fight every hunter that comes your ways, it is better to just pay up any debt you had.
"Um… babe, talking about debt…. Can you… please pay, Selene's debt as well…'. (Scarlett)
I suppose since we were in the topic of debt, Scarlett was constantly trying to met my gaze for a good few seconds, I guess she were steeling herself to speak about this, and then finally she asked me about it.
"Scarlett!!...". (Selene)
Selene lashed out immediately, shouting to Scarlett with the mix of embarrassment and also anger.
"Sure… I got a lot of Coins laying around… we can just pay Your debt and mine in the same day… Selene, Darling…. Don't be so hung up about this…. For me, as your husband…this is what I should do at the very least…right?".
Scarlett stayed silent, as Selene were currently blushing and just fuming with upsets, to not let her just get up and run, is grab her hand on my arm and just speaks of this matter in a light manner, just so her mood would slowly simmer down. Selene is a prideful woman and she would never want to take advantage of anyone, and for her at the moment asking for me to pay for her debt, felt wrong to her.
"Come on, Selene… just let me do this for you… as your husband… I wanted to this for you, there no need to feel shame about it… I too had put Natasha in quite a lot of trouble all because of a debt of mine… and I don't want any of that to happened anymore… CHU~ … okay?".
Gently caressing the top of her hand, I pulled her body closer to mine and gave her my gentlest peck on her cheek just bravely graze at the edge of her lips, where she just instantly become meek like a deer. At that moment, Selene fingers started to playfully scratching on my arm, body fidgeting with shyness I presume.
"Alright…". (Selene)
"Good, just a heartfelt thank you from you… would be more than enough for me, Selene… and probably a blowjob from you would make me very happy…Hehe.".
Selene meekly said to me as her eyes kept gazing down at the floor, here she was my wife that bears uncanny resemblance to my teenage actress crush, falling to my sweet talk. So, in that moment, I felt rather bold to say something even more sneaky to her. Which to my surprise, Selene nodded her head as well, saying that she wanted to please me later, which an even bigger surprise to me.
