"If you don’t do what I say, then I’ll arrest you and put you in a maximum security magical prison for the rest of your life. You’re a damn criminal y’know. I already seized all your company assets and the illegal drugs and weapons as evidence. You’re completely broke."
Victor’s eyes widened comically, and he immediately pulled his hair and cursed loudly, and Jason just rolled his eyes. After that conversation, Victor didn’t have any choice but to join Jason, and now Jason had all four Rulers in his guild. Jason needed to get the three of them up from SS Rank to TITAN Rank I before the end of the year. Every other criterion seemed simple enough, but this one was going to be the hardest, and Jason made sure to send the rulers on as many missions as possible to make them grow faster.
Gina smiled as she remembered all the work Jason had been doing over the month, and Gina realised that she hadn’t seen Jason sleeping at home for more than two days in a row in the past month. Jason would stay awake for seventy hours or more each time he went to work, and anytime Jason had a chance to rest, Gina made sure no one could disturb him since he was always so tired.
’Why is he sleeping on your lap!? He would be a lot more comfortable if he used Ulyn’s lap instead!’
Gina chuckled as she heard her spirit companion complaining, and Gina told Ulyn that she was way too small to give Jason a lap pillow!
’You don’t know that! Don’t underestimate me, human! I can do anything! I haven’t gotten to talk to Jason for a long time now cause he keeps travelling so much!’
Ulyn huffed in annoyance, and Gina smiled sadly as she realised that this was true. Jason was working so much lately that neither Gina nor Ulyn could be with him as much as they wanted. But Gina knew that Jason’s work was important, and she also knew that their time apart wasn’t going to last forever, so she was more than happy to support Jason’s plan.
But in a way, Jason’s busy schedule was also a blessing in disguise for Gina since it allowed her to meditate and bring up her Spirit Synchronization. Gina had been using Jason’s Alternate Dimension to train against some of Jason’s Legion subordinates as well, and Gina had brought her spirit compatibility with Ullyn up to 5% in this last month.
’The progress is slow since I haven’t been in any life-or-death battles. The fight against the Legion subordinates is just sparring, and I can’t get the same benefits from that. I want to go out and fight again, but I can’t do that. I’m pregnant, and I need to make sure the baby is safe. When the baby is here, and Jason is done with his missions, maybe we can go on another adventure.’
Gina felt a smile bloom on her face as she thought about this, and Gina decided that this was exactly what they would do. Gina had already been pregnant for about three months at this time, and she promised Jason that she wouldn’t go into any gates if he wasn’t there, so she could only spar with subordinates. Gina would focus on her training properly again after the baby comes.
"So you were saying you had some sort of announcement to make?"
Gina was brought out of her thoughts when Janet suddenly said this. It was only Jason, Gina, Janet, and Mira in the jet right now. Maya was also meant to come for the picnic, but she had been in school, and Jason said that he would bring her to the picnic using the shadows later. Mira had actually been a little hesitant to bring Maya out of school just for a picnic, but both Gina and Jason had insisted, and they said they needed to make an announcement to the entire family! Jason had left Stella back home, and he told her to watch over the house until he got back. Janet wondered what the announcement could possibly be, but Gina just smiled and told her that she would find out at the picnic.
"Just hold on for a few more hours. We’ll tell you everything later."
Janet chuckled.
"Are you going to tell us that you’re pregnant or something?"
Gina just laughed softly without giving a response, and Janet raised a brow in surprise! Janet wanted to ask if she was right, but Janet decided to just wait till later for the announcement. Instead, Janet frowned as she asked another question.
"Hey, Gina. Are you really okay with all of this? I... I mean, I’m not trying to criticize you or anything! It’s just the relationship that you have with Jason and those other women. There are two other people in your relationship, and I don’t understand how you’re okay with it. Is this something that you truly want, or are you just allowing it because you think it’ll make Jason happy?"
Janet asked all this with a slightly shy expression on her face. Janet was actually two years older than Gina, but Gina was so much more mature than Janet, both emotionally and physically, that Janet couldn’t help but see Gina as an older sister, so Janet felt a bit embarrassed to be asking these questions. After hearing about the strange relationship that Jason and Gina had gotten into with Riyala and Hesabeth, Janet started to wonder if it was what Gina really wanted. Janet didn’t know if she could ever be comfortable with her boyfriend dating other women.
Gina just smiled.
"I know it seems a bit abnormal, but since when has Jason’s and my relationship been normal? I really don’t have any issues with the other women because no matter how much they love Jason and no matter how much Jason loves them, I know that I’m the one Jason loves most of all."
"But aren’t you afraid that one of them will try to steal him from you?"
Gina actually laughed.
"No, no, that’ll never happen. The world will come to an end before another woman can steal Jason from me. That’s how much confidence I have in him. Besides, I already spoke to them about this, and we all came to an understanding. Also, I guess... Jason is a bit difficult for me to handle alone... in bed."
Gina’s cheeks had grown exceptionally red as she said those last parts, and she hid her mouth shyly like a little schoolgirl who was gossiping with her friends. Janet’s cheeks also began to redden as she began thinking about what Jason had been doing to Gina all this time! Gina was a superhuman, and Janet knew that superhumans had unnatural stamina! Janet had only had her powers for a few months, and even though she wasn’t taking her training seriously, Janet already had more stamina than she knew what to do with! Gina had not only been a superhuman for longer, but Gina was also one of the strongest superhumans alive! How intense did Jason have to be for someone like Gina to complain that he was too much in bed!? Janet’s cheeks felt hot as she spoke.
"Oh, s-so you let those women in to help you in bed? I-Is Jason really that beastly?"
"A-A little, yeah. Jason has unbelievable stamina, but ever since they joined, it’s been a bit easier to handle him at night. But that’s not the only reason I let them join, though. I know they love him, and I know Jason cares for them. I could keep Jason all to myself if I wanted to, but I don’t see the point in doing something like that. Maybe I’m weird, but I just don’t see anything wrong in having other women in our relationship."
"Oh..."
