Ubermensch – Chapter 104

And Steve Queen. No, the CIA was one of the buyers in that black market deal.

If Yekaterina’s sin was her inability to tell the truth, Steve Queen’s was shamelessly trying to exploit Seo Yeonhee despite knowing that the CIA had contributed to Sebastian’s downfall.

“Well, I’m the type who says what’s on my mind.”

As strategists, their abilities weren’t that different. No, considering Yekaterina’s long experience and innate magical abilities, she was actually a step ahead.

However, burdened with the responsibility of the Pseudo-Humans, Yekaterina had to consider the risks in every situation. On the other hand, with the strong backing of the United States, Steve Queen could disregard the risk of failure and recklessly employ his strategies.

Even at this moment, Yekaterina could only protest. Despite the fact that he had used Seo Yeonhee, whom she had cherished for a long time, for a petty scheme.

“Consider the debt for the military satellite settled. Can we consider this the end of any bad blood between us?”

The call ended.

Steve Queen chuckled.

“A goddess’s threat doesn’t feel all that different.”

That’s because one of the most common phrases he heard in his life was the empty threat of”Just you wait.”

“Now, then… what should I make money off of next?”

The world was vast, and opportunities were plentiful. It was the American dream, after all.

Steve Queen grinned.

“First, Mongolia, where my friend Batkhishig is…?”

After the raid, Mason took a long break.

He had three main responsibilities.

As a Player, Mason was the Raid Leader of the Revengers attack team.

As a modified human from the future, he provided advice on technology development.

As the King of Pseudo-Humans and North Koreans, he was responsible for military training and the Northern Expedition.

He had just completed his duties as a raid leader.

He had nothing to do but wait until the end of the off-season.

Technology development was also on track, with some projects nearing completion and producing tangible results.

And the Northern Expedition was progressing smoothly, along with the retraining of the North Koreans.

This was practically the first break Mason had ever experienced.

Aside from occasionally visiting the research lab to offer advice when they hit a snag, Mason enjoyed a free and leisurely life.

The person he spent the most time with was Jeong Ryeogyeong.

“I made some fish cakes. Try them.”

As Jeong Ryeogyeong held out a cake with her finger, Mason took it into his mouth, finger and all, and playfully tickled her finger with his tongue.

“Oh my. Why are you being so naughty?”

“Why? It tastes good.”

Mason cheekily pulled Jeong Ryeogyeong’s slender waist closer.

Their efforts were only going in circles. Jeong Ryeogyeong dreamed of becoming a good wife and building a happy family, and Mason wanted to make her happy.

And ever since Mason opened up to her, the two of them had been enjoying a truly blissful honeymoon period.

Jeong Ryeogyeong laughed and held out a pillow.

“Speaking of which, I saw these pillows being sold these days.”

“What kind of pillow?”

It was a heart-shaped pillow with”yes”and”no”written on the front and back.

“It’s a pillow for couples or lovers…”

It was a pillow that helped convey things that were too embarrassing to say directly.

Jeong Ryeogyeong shyly hugged the pillow, with the”yes”side facing out.

Mason laughed and lifted her up in his arms. He gently placed her healthy and slender body on the bed.

Laid down on the bed, Jeong Ryeogyeong spoke while still clutching the pillow.

“Um… Actually… I have a confession…”

“At this point?”

Mason asked with a smile.

“What is it? Tell me.”

“I… Still… Haven’t…”

“…A virgin?”

Her face flushed crimson, Jeong Ryeogyeong gave a slight nod.

“Please… Be gentle…”

Mason chuckled and kissed her on the neck.

“I’m quite confident in that area.”

How much time had passed?

“Liar…”

Drenched in sweat and the lingering pleasure, Jeong Ryeogyeong panted softly. However, contrary to her slightly sulky words, she refused to let go of Mason’s neck, her arms wrapped tightly around him.

Mason smiled and kissed her.

“Mmm… Smi…”

As he expertly kissed her, Mason’s hand began to slowly move downwards. Past her round, soft breasts, even past her cute belly button, when Jeong Ryeogyeong flinched and tightly crossed her legs, wriggling her body.

“No… I’ll die…”

“Really?”

Mason obediently withdrew his hand. It wasn’t in his nature to do things that his partner disliked. Especially not when it came to pleasure.

As Mason lay down beside her and offered his arm, Jeong Ryeogyeong rested her head on it and turned to face him.

Her long, glossy hair and glistening sweat cascaded downwards.

She looked at Mason with curious eyes.

“Mason…”

“Come on, we’re practically married, and you’re still calling me Mason? Call me something more affectionate.”

“Da, Da, Darling…”

Her voice trailed off as Jeong Ryeogyeong’s face turned bright red, and she covered her face with her hands.

“This is so embarrassing…”

But Mason just grinned at her.

After some hesitation, she finally spoke.

“My, My Lord. I’ll call you My Lord.”

“Fine, let’s compromise on that.”

“Yes. My Lord.”

Nodding, Jeong Ryeogyeong asked,

“My Lord, you must have traveled all over the world, right?”

“In this era? Or in the 28th century?”

“Both.”

“In this era, I’ve only been to Korea, China, and Mongolia. But in the 28th century, I traveled the world many times over.”

“Where was the most amazing place you’ve seen?”

“Downtown Gwangju.”

He gestured towards the window.

“Geez. That’s not what I meant…”

“No, I’m serious. I almost fainted when I saw so many people!”

“Okay, then excluding Gwangju.”

“You’ll be mad if I say Daegu?”

“I’ll be disappointed.”

Mason chuckled and stroked her hair.

“A place I could go with you… The Salar de Uyuni.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s a salt flat, and during the rainy season, the ground reflects the sky like a mirror. The horizon blurs with the clouds and the sky, creating a spectacle of blue stretching across both the sky and the ground.”

Jeong Ryeogyeong’s eyes sparkled. In her imagination, she could see a blue expanse where even the horizon had vanished.

“Let’s go there someday. We have to.”

“I’m not sure if it still exists in this era. I saw it in the 28th century…”

“If it survived until the future, wouldn’t it still be there now?”

“In principle, yes… But many things have disappeared due to war or development, and conversely, new things have emerged, so I can’t be sure.”

Seeing Jeong Ryeogyeong’s disappointed expression, Mason quickly added,

“But if it still exists in this era, let’s go together.”

“Promise?”

Jeong Ryeogyeong kissed Mason on the cheek.

“Then, what do you want to do with me?”

“Something I want to do?”

As Mason’s hand started to sneak downwards again, Jeong Ryeogyeong flinched and curled up.

“No. I’ll die…”

“Something other than this?”

Mason thought for a moment before speaking.

“How about gravity swimming?”

“What’s that?”

“You attach a gravity well generator to your fingertips and swim. Within the gravity well’s influence, you can ignore planetary gravity, so you can fall upwards or get pulled sideways. The real fun is letting yourself fall vertically from the stratosphere, surrendering to Earth’s gravity. It’s quite thrilling once you break the sound barrier.”

“Wow. It sounds like some amazing magic…”

“It’s fun and educational. It doubles as space flight training.”

Mason said with a smile.

“Especially, it’s really fun to make love while doing it. ‘Freedom from Gravity,’ it was considered a traditional cultural practice in our time.”

Jeong Ryeogyeong just blinked.

“I can’t imagine it. It sounds like a story from another world.”

“It is another world.”

Mason laughed heartily.

“Let’s see many things together, and do many things together. Our fates are already intertwined, so let’s be happy together.”

“Yes!”

Jeong Ryeogyeong gave a bright smile.

It was a smile as bright as a sunflower and as clear as dew.

It was the smile that Mason loved.

Mason kissed her on the forehead.

And his hand slowly moved downwards…

Slap!

Jeong Ryeogyeong lightly slapped the back of his hand as it ventured downwards, giving him a pouting look.

“I told you I’ll die!”

“You won’t. You won’t. People don’t die that easily.”

“Ah!”

Taking advantage of her momentary lapse, Mason’s hand slipped below her belly button.

Between her legs. A slow heat began to spread from the tip of her body. Goosebumps of pleasant tension erupted on her sweat-slicked, healthy body.

Jeong Ryeogyeong pouted at him.

“Liar…”

However, her pout didn’t last long.

“Ah…!”

With a gasp of urgency.
