The sunlight streaming through the window dragged out of sleep.
Ellie was still there, sound asleep on my chest with her naked body.
Looking up, I saw that the ti was 6:00 a.m.
We had a lot of fun last night, and part of wanted nothing more than to pull her closer and stay like this a bit longer.
Alright, I’ll wake her up in ten minutes. Might as well enjoy the view, and the two soft massagers on my chest—for a little longer.
Every ti I breathe in, they push back like they’re trying to keep hostage.
Damn it, I really needed to learn so self-control around her.
One touch, one glance, and my brain clocked out for the day. If this kept up, I would start losing hours of my life to those heavenly assets.
"Aunt Ellie, wake up," I murmured, running my hand through her hair.
She stirred, blinking lazily before giving a wide smile.
Then she leaned in and kissed .
"Ace, let’s do it again," she whispered, her breath hot against my skin.
Seductively, her wet lips traced a path down my neck, lingering and teasing, as her tongue danced across my flesh, trying to break my will.
I stopped her halfway, though it felt like ripping my own heart out. Every instinct scread to give in, to forget the promise I’d just made about self-control.
But no! Discipline first, pleasure later. Probably.
"Aunt Ellie. Rember, today is..."
No need to finish. The look on her face said everything.
Reluctantly, she climbed out of bed and walked into the bathroom to freshen up.
She didn’t bother to grab her nightgown, offering a tantalizing view of her bare back, her round, firm ass cheeks bouncing with each step.
The sight was irresistible, and I was so close to leaping out of bed and devouring her, savoring every curve and contour like a delicious, forbidden breakfast.
Forget self-control! Like a lion, I grabbed her from behind, my hands gripping her hips tightly.
I pinned her down to the floor, her back arching as she gasped with surprise and anticipation.
"Let’s take a shower together," I groaned, my hands already cupping her ass, and pulling her closer.

I got out of the bathroom, carrying her in my arms. Turns out I overestimated her stamina. She ended up fainting in the bathtub after the fourth round.
When I tucked her back into bed, I began channeling Qi into her body, the sa way the monk had done with his patients.
I was hesitant to try this before, lacking the control. But a therapy like this wasn’t life-threatening, as long as I filtered the Qi properly before sending it into her body.
Bit by bit, I smoothed out her ridians, strengthening them. Over ti, this would indirectly boost her stamina and endurance.
Ten minutes later, she was sleeping soundly in bed. I decided to head out, instructing the maids not to disturb her.
Around 7:30 a.m., breakfast was ready. It was the sa as usual—plates full of expensive-looking food, freshly baked bread from a luxury bakery down the hill, and a pot of brewed coffee.
Ellie, Ella, and Alice ate their al as usual while we chatted about our day.
My physical therapy with Ellie seed to have worked like magic; she was laughing and smiling again.
As for Alice, she was in a much better mood now. I promised her that her parents would continue working for the rcer family and that things would carry on just like before.
After we finished the al, I got a call from the lawyers about the fund transfers.
It wasn’t easy, but they managed to pull it off, though not without a lot of under-the-table maneuvering.
Opening my laptop, I logged into my bank account. The more secure one, protected by a password, two-factor authentication, and a QR code linked to my governnt ID.
"Fuck, I’m rich!" I jumped out of my seat, staring at the numbers.
My account balance was obscene, enough to make most people dizzy, even after taxes. Now that’s a flex.
Next, I checked the deeds that were transferred to . They included real estate properties, so valuable personal items, even cars and high-value collectibles like artwork salvaged by them.
I definitely have to give those five a hefty bonus—they far exceeded my expectations.
With this amount of wealth, I could afford to play a bit more.
’Sent’
A quick ssage went to Amanda, informing her that additional funds were ready and directing her to locate a building in the outer region.
New guilds set up their base there because it offered the fastest route to the towers, and in ergencies, they could earn rit points to boost their status.
But that wasn’t the only reason I picked the outermost region. My other goal was to have a place where I could absorb more concentrated energy to advance my cultivation.
The fight with Alexa had shown just how overpowered martial arts could be once pushed past certain limits.
beep!
A ssage popped up from her, asking about my budget.
She already got her eye on a building that got foreclosed by the bank.
It had once belonged to a fledgling guild that went under after twenty of their A-Rank team mbers were brutally killed in the tower.
There demised just showed how risky the guild business really was. Everything relied on the Seekers, so losing that many was practically a death sentence.
(How much?) I texted her.
A few seconds later, she sent the picture and details of the listing.
The bank quoted a price of 500 million—a steal for a twenty-story building complete with a large parking lot, a gym, and other anities.
However—
A photo couldn’t capture the building’s scale; seeing it in person would be better.
(Let’s et tomorrow to check out the site)
Before wrapping up our conversation, I checked in on May. Her training was progressing smoothly, and the Center had brought in new instructors to guide her.
beep!
I got another ssage from the lawyers.
Mr. Sakamoto wanted to et. He was probably wondering how I still possessed so much money, even after their attempt to drain the rcer family dry.
’What a greedy bastard.’
Even though I couldn’t stand that old man, he was still one of the founder of Dark Rock, so it wasn’t smart to pick a fight with him.
Keeping that in mind, I told the lawyers to give him my personal number and arrange a eting later in the afternoon.

Authors Note:
I just want to thank one of my most avid supporters for gifting a Gachapon—’Cthulhu01’.
That ans more bonus Chapters for everyone!!! Yay! More work for too. (Suffering from too much success)
Unfortunately, another super typhoon is coming Saturday night. Yeah, I know, it’s already the fourth one since late september. (Deep Sigh)
I’ll have to postpone the bonus Chapters . Instead, I’ll stockpile them to make sure daily updates don’t stop in case the power grid gets destroyed again.
Hopefully it doesn’t co to that, so I can keep uploading three to four Chapters a day to fill the bonus ones.
Thank you.
