The red lights in the palace stopped flashing. The halls became dark and quite. Outside, the guards cleared away the broken metal from the tank. The air smelled like smoke and burnt rubber.
Ethan stood in the command center and watched the monitors. He looked calm, but his mind was racing. The notebooks he found in the vault changed everything. He wasn't just a rich man anymore. Heb was now a target for five dangerous people.
He hard a sound and turned around. It was Mei Ling. Her eyes were red from her recent crying, and she looked exhausted. She had spent the whole fight hiding with the babies.
"Is it over?" she asked. Her voice was shaking.
Ethan saw how scared she was. He felt a dep need to keep her safe. He didn't stop to think; he just walked over and pulled her into a hug.
Mei Ling grabbed his shirt tightly. " I was so scared, "she sobbed. " I thought we were going to die. I could barely breath".
"You don't have to worry," Ethan promised. Nothing will happen to you as long as you are with me." He meant every word.
He led her to the bedroom. They stayed close that night to forget the violence outside. Their connection wasn't just about physical desire; it was about feeling alive after being so close to death. They kissed deeply; his wet and warm tongue slid down inside her mouth like a long snake slithering over tall grass.
She gasped and moaned... mph... mph. Her breathing grew heavy while his restless hand slid to her chest and started to unbutton her cream-colored blouse. Then, he yanked her towards him by pressing her soft waist. He pressed her perky back, slid her skirt off, and started their workout. Her beautiful, melodic voice flowed throughout the room, rhythmic with the sound of moans and the hitting of flesh.
Everything felt warm and urgent. They held each other and were intimate throughout the night, finding comfort in one another until the sun began to rise. Finally, Mei Ling fell asleep.
While Ethan held her, the System made a sound in his head.
[DING!]
New Babies Detected:Triplets! (2 Boys, 1 Girl)
Rewards:$45 million Cash, 10% share in Angolan Yacht Company, and +2 attribute points.
[SYSTEM ALERT]:The 100x bonus was a one-time gift. From now on, new babies will give a 10x bonus.
Ethan stared at the screen. Instead of billions, he got $45 million. It was a big drop, but he wasn't angry. He knew money alone wouldn't stop his enemies. He needed a real empire.
He looked at Mei Ling while she slept. She was carrying three more of his children. Along with Athena and Thomas, his family was growing fast. His mission felt more important than ever.
He stayed awake and watched the ocean. He thought about his enemies in New York. They thought he was weak, but they didn't know about his System. He would be ready for them.
"Sleep well," he whispered to her.
