BXBX NOVEL Chapter 240 South City Part 2
--AN) Late release tonight. Here is the first chapter still 3 more to go.--
"If I knew I was going to run into people, I would have. I first had to see how the city was before I could risk you coming out." Blake replied as he kissed Tina\'s cheek. He then looked at Frank and Jerry and said: "Let\'s sit, shall we?"
Frank nodded as he did his best not to look at Tina. After her body had been refined so many times with mana cleaning herbs and pure mana liquid, her entire appearance now gave her an ethereal appearance. Even if she was wearing clothes that made her look like an apocalypse survivor. Her brown hair and hazel eyes shined brightly with her milky white skin and supple freckled cheeks that anyone would want to pinch. She looked a few years younger than she actually was. She was completely stunning.
Tina did not let go of Blake, she wrapped her body around him, and when he sat, she still hugged him like a koala, not letting go. Not long after, Bret, Mina, Josline, and Onz returned with Noa and joined the group. Frank and Jerry were amazed that each of these races was able to gather together as one. But what he found more amazing was that the elf girl, the dwarf girl, and the fairy all took up positions next to Blake. Mina sat on his head, Josline sat in his lap, and Noa sat at his side, resting her head on his shoulder.
Bret, who was sitting next to the freak, snorted coldly and, under his breath, said: "Show off!"
"Excuse me for having wives that love me dearly." Blake snorted back. Bret and Blake stared at each other for a minute before laughing. Blake then asked: "Didn\'t Rin give you the okay to get another wife as long as she decided she was okay?"
"She did, but right now, I just want to take care of my current family. I know I said big shit like I will have a million brides, but you know. I don\'t know if I can be like you and treat them all fairly. I am afraid I might one day neglect one of them and they will think I hate them." Bret really did fear this. He did not wish to make anyone unhappy.
"I see… I can understand that. But I think you won\'t have an issue if it is just one more. Rin has been in the palace and taking care of Noa here, so I am sure you know she has a good understanding of how my family stays so harmonious. If she is willing, then find someone she can get along with and never split them up. Buy a bigger bed." Blake replied with a cheeky smile. But for Bret, he really had to think about it. After chasing Rin for so long to finally get her, he wanted to take his time and enjoy his current life. "Maybe in the future."
Blake said no more but chuckled when he saw the looks on Frank and Jerry\'s faces. "Ah right, let me introduce you to my wives, Mina from the fairy race, Josline from the dwarf race, you have met Noa from the elf race, and the one hugging my back is Tina, she is human like you although much more powerful than anyone in your city. Then there is my brother here, Bret, and my general Onz."
"Good to meet you…. Can I ask, did you just say, wives?" This was the only part that got Frank.
"Yes, in Destiny City, due to the population of humanity being so low, everyone is able to have more than one wife. It is to help boost the population more, and the age of marriage is now fifteen years of age. Of course, only by consent. We have a magic contract on all citizens that disallows any harm to anyone living in the city to protect the population, but this does not restrict the freedoms of the people. They can still do as they please as long as they are not bringing harm to the city or its people." Blake explained.
"I see…" Frank nodded his head. He did not think of such a thing until now since South City was still trying to uphold the old ways.
"When the new world came, we all had to come up with these laws. Tina here used to be a cop, and we even have a few beauracrates that help out with these things from before. They all weighed the pros and cons of these rules and felt that it was still within certain ethical limits. And it is not like anyone is forced into anything. Like my adopted sister is still doing her thing as well as many girls her age, and she is almost 20 now." Blake had found that these rules did help a lot within the city for more families to settle down. While it was different from the old days, now it helped to have families coming together to help one another out more through marriage. He had yet to hear of any reports of anything underhanded happening. Blake was always looking out for these things so he could have Lillia adjust the contract just in case.
"Blake, I might be reaching out on a limb here but are you from the same world as, say Bret and Tina here?" Frank asked. He was unsure if he was guessing right, but from the sounds of it, Blake may have come from his world before the apocalypse.
"Mmm… I used to be human." Blake answered honestly. He saw no reason to lie about it.
"Human!? Really!? But how did you…." Frank did not understand. Blake now did not seem human at all!
"It\'s something you will understand in due time," Blake answered. He did not wish to talk about the drakani blood he took. Seeing Blake dodge the question, unwilling to answer, Frank held his tongue.
About twenty minutes later, Becky returned with another man wearing a military uniform and a gun on his back. When Becky saw all the new people, her eyes opened wide until they fell on Blake and her cheeks turned red again. She quickly walked to the spot next to Blake that was still open, kind of open, if you do not count the fact that she was trying to squeeze her way in between Blake and Bret. But this only lasted for a second when she was suddenly picked up by her neck. "What the fuck do you think you are doing?"
