Chapter 289: A Certified MILF!
Gina was appreciating how good the house looked with the new designs and furniture, but Jason had only one thought passing through his head at that moment.
’I’m sure that bastard put something here to spy on me.’
Jason didn’t know what the fuck Cersai was playing at here, but Jason could feel it deep in his heart that there was something more to this move from Cersai. It was either Cersai had put a fucking listening device in this house, or Cersai was using this as a way to try and get closer to Jason and his family. Most people would call it paranoia, but Jason called it caution. After what happened with Gina, Jason wasn’t willing to allow anything to catch him off guard again.
"Babe, the house looks amazing."
Gina spoke up in awe, and Jason just hummed before speaking up in a dry tone.
"Yeah... It’s fucking amazing."
Riyala hadn’t noticed the dry sarcasm in Jason’s tone since she was still in awe of the house, but Gina easily noticed that there was something wrong. Gina asked Jason if he was alright, and Jason hummed and said he was fine. Jason gave Gina a kiss and told her that he needed to make a call, and Gina agreed reluctantly as she saw Jason walking away. Gina knew that there was something wrong, but she was sure that Jason would tell her about it when he was ready. Gian grabbed Riyala and began walking into the living room to take a look at the furniture and TV. There were pictures on the wall, and Gina walked closer to one of them to get a better look.
"Kya!"
Riyala suddenly let out a loud scream and jumped back into Gina’s hands in fear when she saw something moving on the couch, and Gina raised a brow as she turned to see that a head had popped up from behind the couch. It was a strange girl with blonde hair and a sleepy look on her face, and Gina immediately remembered meeting her in Jason’s school earlier. What the hell was she doing here?
Griselda let out a loud yawn while raising her hand over her head. She had been so tired from worrying too much about Riyala and Juliet earlier, so she had no idea when she passed out. She turned to look at who was standing there, and her eyes widened in surprise once she saw the dragon princess!
"You’re finally back!"
Griselda got up quickly and gave Riyala a hug while sighing in relief! Grieselda had made calls to a lot of people in the SMD, but she hadn’t been able to find anything about what was happening! She had been waiting here all along because she had no idea what had happened with everyone, and she somehow fell asleep while waiting. Griselda pulled back after a while and Riyala smiled back at her thankfully, but Griselda’s face suddenly scrunched up in shock as she took in all the new furniture and the large TV on the wall, and she spoke in surprise.
"Where the hell did all this come from!?"
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Gina narrowed her eyes at Griselda as she said this, and Griselda sensed danger from the look on Gina’s face! Gina looked like a lioness staring down a rabbit, and Griselda knew that she had to explain herself immediately! Jason laughed as he watched Griselda rushing to explain what she was doing there to Gina, and he turned away while putting his hands in his pockets. Jason knew that Gina wouldn’t hurt Griselda, so he decided to let the girls talk while he figured out what the fuck Cersai did to his house. Jason called on every single superhuman and Phantom available in his Legion, and he told them to sweep the fucking house!
’Look for anything small hidden in corners or behind pictures. If it looks like it doesn’t belong somewhere, then let me know immediately. I want to know if that fucker put anything in this house. And you... clean out the entire house.’
Jason said the last part to the five maids that he had gained as subordinates during the raid on the BloodRaven guild, and all five of them appeared in front of Jason and bowed before they moved to start working. The rest of the Legion quickly began moving through the shadows, and Jason grabbed his phone and made a quick call. The phone rang for a few seconds before an excited voice echoed from the other side!
[Boss! I’ve been waiting for your call! You’re all over the news!]
Darren was practically vibrating with excitement on the other end of the call, and Jason smiled slightly at his friend’s enthusiasm before he spoke.
"I just wanted to check in and see what happened after I left. Did you and Henry get into any trouble with the SMD?"
[No, boss. My dad came around and bailed us out. He has enough pull in the SMD, so they won’t dare go against him! Oh, and guess what, Henry’s mom came to pick him up after you left, and she’s freaking hot! Her three sizes are 75-55-70! Can you believe it!? She’s a certified MILF! Oh my god, Henry’s father is a fucking lucky bastard!]
Jason pinched the bridge of his nose when he heard Darren’s words! For a moment there, Jason had actually forgotten what sort of person Darren was, and Jason couldn’t help but release a chuckle as Darren continued talking.
[I tried getting his mum’s number, but I chickened out at the last moment. Besides, she’s married to a stockbroker, so I don’t stand a chance. Oh, and they invited us to dinner later. Henry’s dad knows my dad from Wall Street, so I think they all want to have some sort of large dinner or something so they can talk about money! Oh, and -]
Jason quickly cut Darren off before he could go into a full rant.
"Darren, wait. Just take a breath and listen to me. I need your help sweeping my apartment for any bugs. Someone might have hidden a listening device somewhere, so I want to make sure it’s safe. Can you help with that?"
[Of course, boss! I find listening devices for my dad all the time! You know his business is pretty secretive, so people are always trying to get information from him. I’ll come around tomorrow!]
"Thanks, Darren. I’ll send you the address later."
[No problem, boss! I’ll tell you more about Henry’s mum when I come over!]
Darren answered enthusiastically, and Jason smiled again before he finally clicked the phone off and turned back to the living room. Griselda had finally finished giving her explanation to Gina, and the three girls had somehow formed a friendship during the time when Jason was making his call. Griselda and Gina were gushing over how high-quality the couches were, and Riyala was looking up at the large TV with wide, excited eyes!
Jason walked into the living room and wrapped his hand around Gina’s waist with a smile, and Gina smiled at him before speaking.
"I have no idea who Cersai is, but he must’ve done something horrible if he thinks all this isn’t enough for an apology."
Jason scoffed in amusement at the joke, and he looked over at some of the paintings on the wall. Jason wasn’t happy that Cersai invaded his space and did all of this without informing him first, but the design of the house was very impressive, and Jason couldn’t help but appreciate it. Griselda moved over to one of the paintings, and she exclaimed when she saw that it was an original from a very popular artist.
"How in the world did you get all this!? This is an original Fricassi! It would cost at least a million dollars on the market today! You can’t even buy this in an auction!"
