Chapter 352: Caught Mommy
Taking away the tension in my limbs and the tightness in my face, I did my best to ward off any hint of despair from my being.
I looked at Martha with amusement, staring into her eyes and curiously searching for a weakness I could exploit to salvage the situation.
I wasn’t above conjuring a story at this moment, anything to save myself, but the woman was rock steady.
Martha was sure of my helplessness in the current situation, and she wasn’t wrong to be, because try as I might, I could not make sense of what had been done to me.
I wanted to believe this was an illusion, but the crushing weight and Echo told me all of this was real.
"Did she teleport us to a sub-dimension, an artificial world she controls?" I wondered.
"Perhaps this is something a step above illusion... a direct mind invasion."
Funny enough, despite the mess my mind was in, no room within it harboured hatred for the MILF.
Yes, I had brought a solution that would solve her and her daughter’s problems, but I myself was still a mystery to the agitated mother.
I could feel the intent radiating from her. Martha meant me no harm; she was just seeking to put me in my place, subvert me, or possibly interrogate me.
Though she kept her gaze hard, I had been with the woman long enough to understand how stubborn she was.
Martha could be quite paranoid, and this was just from matters concerning us. Now that Valera was involved and her life potentially on the line, her reasoning was simply absurd.
I didn’t hate Martha, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t pissed.
I looked up at the sky, the fire burning all over the rock above me, telling of an approaching force I knew I couldn’t handle.
If that rock hit as intended, colliding with the one I was already carrying, I would be crushed.
"Why am I not sinking?" I questioned aloud.
"Because I don’t want you to. Or rather..."
I didn’t bother continuing to listen. I reached into the bottom of the sea in my mind, wanting to call out my Knight, but someone or more aptly, something, thought otherwise.
[Ding!! You have been caught in an illusion.
Calling out the Knight isn’t a bad idea, as its nature will immediately disrupt and end this illusion. But with the current state of things, do you think just escaping her technique will be enough?]
The system’s words that this was an illusion shocked me, especially since I had already dismissed that possibility. But the pain coursing through my body stopped me from fully delving into that discovery.
Hearing that simply summoning my Knight would end Martha’s illusion, my body screamed for immediate relief. But the system had said more, and I was interested in the rest.
"What are you offering?"
[For the completion of a mission, one which has already been decided, the system will help you not only overcome this illusion, but dominate it and its caster.
The choice is yours.]
"I accept."
[Good.]
While I had the money and the sway of the world, Martha had raw physical power. From the moment she exposed her true nature to me, she became a lioness while I became a question mark.
An antelope, a buffalo, a gorilla, a blossoming lion, the woman was lost and scared about how to handle me, so she bared her fangs.
Immediately, the system’s message disappeared, and the sea and yellow sky vanished.
I was returned to the duplex, and standing before me was Martha, whose face slowly turned to one of horror. From her nose and eyes, blood began to flow.
Her face twisted, and then she fell to her knees. When I looked into her eyes, Martha trembled heavily. Shaking her head, she turned and rapidly crawled away from me, moving to the other side of the table at the centre of the kitchen.
"What did you show her?" I asked, enjoying the sight of her large ass shaking as she moved, my tongue slipping out and gliding across my lips.
[Your true power.]
"Huh? My power? Since when did I have power strong enough to scare her?"
[Are you forgetting your Psion is mutated? Your mind is guarded not just by you, but also by the planet.
The reason your techniques failed to work was because you were employing them on the visible world, while she cast her technique within the fabric of reality.]
The idea that I, in some way, had the ability to not only compete but outdo Martha in a field felt foreign to me, especially considering the methods I had seen her employ.
"You’re aware that she currently has some kind of lock on her powers, right?"
[Yes, and unfortunately, that brings about certain factors I cannot calculate.
It shouldn’t take her too long to get herself in order.]
"You traded me domination," I reminded the system, not wanting to feel duped.
[Of course. Your actions today will live rent-free in her head. It’s not like she was able to see all you could offer.]
I wanted to question the system on what it meant, but the blue screen disappeared.
"Martha."
"Make it stop?"
"Make it stop?"
The MILF began muttering in fright after I called her name. She had just rounded a corner, and I was behind her when she suddenly froze, turned around, and sitting on her butt, looked at me with wide eyes full of disbelief.
I opened my mouth to speak, but then was interrupted by a loud shout.
"Daddy...!"
On the other end of the table, Valera, who was coming from the left, did not notice. My gaze was down on the ground.
Her mother, covered by the table and hidden from her sight, remained unseen. The girl did a quick glance around the kitchen before rushing up to me, her eyes bright.
Taking two steps forward, I moved to the left of the table and, opening my arms, caught Valera as she jumped into them.
Our lips met just as our bodies pressed together. Valera, unworried for her safety, entrusted her weight to my able arms.
My hands sank into the softness of my baby’s bottom as I engaged her in the deep kiss she pressed in for, our tongues meeting in a battle for dominance.
Bam!!
I didn’t waste time. We kissed just a little longer before I dropped the little minx onto the dining table.
Her eyes widened slightly at the jolt, and then her mouth fell open as I ripped open her jacket.
There were complaints about to leave her lips, but I sealed them with another kiss, my hands slipping off her blue jacket and undoing her bra.
"Mom is home," Valera let out in a whisper, greedily sucking in air. But my lips were already moving for her chest, her words ignored.
