Chapter 508 508: Reunion I
You're looking at me like I'm not beautiful anymore." Tehilla said as she walked up to him, she has always been tall, and it seems the Raen race was a lot. Similar to other animal like race. Cole noticed the women were bigger and taller, Tehilla was looking right back at him eyeball to eyeball and not a bit up at him like he remembered.
"You can never be anything less than perfect to me, I should be the one worried, I'm a cripple now, only got one arm. And as I've been told, I've been gone four months when it's not even been up to half a day for me....you might not love me anymore."
When it comes to emotions, Raens were never one for a lot of talking it was best to just show it, and Tehila was almost glowing with the way the emotion of love bled off her. Cole chuckled, he knew of many men who would truly like to be able to know what their women are thinking or really feeling about them. Being a Raen, was almost what you would call a life saving experience.
"I waited three years for you to decide that I am good enough for you. You expect all of that to change in just four months? Sure we all considered you missing, but in this new reality we don't announce an aspirant dead or missing until after a year, crazy new law. This material is rooted in n0velbin★
I was worried, and I wouldn't lie, each night has been hell without you. I had faith, I could feel you always baby. In my heart, our baby too, she felt you so far, in pain, hurt, but alive. You're here now though, and I swear I'm not letting you go anywhere again." Tehila said to Cole with tears in her eyes as she stepped forwards into his embrace, finally crying tears that have been building up in four months.
After the Council Purge. Many business men and women all felt that this was a chance to get their feet into the political situation and keep order. A lot more money, labor and infrastructure has come to earth and other places, hut this is because some of the people now on the World Council, are Denizens who have been living here in hiding for a very long time.
Earth had many deals with many forces outside of its reality. I've tried to keep all the deals in check, but with you absent, it did not even take up to a month for them to start carving up the earth and leaving it on a platter of Gold for their new allies. I've kept it as controlled as I possibly can by being on the council."
Cole held Tehila's hand as they walked up into the jet with everyone else and it lifted off the ground, throwing a billowing cloud of sand that shrouded their forms before it rose higher and higher into the sky before zooming off, Cole however was still listening to his wife.
"They have not been able to go up against us, not face to face at least. We've had a few sanctions and embargos. My businesses are being boycotted and the World Council buys Deuterium from me with a 35% cut than the market price. An annoying situation, but Deuterium is so expensive and even valuable to the other universe that even with the cut, I'm still making a lot of money, not to mention with the ability to travel to any of our recognized territory from Raen Valley.
I've been able to run everything as best as I can and handle my business without the world council having their eyes on me. But that's just on earth. Outside of it Raen Valley has gotten into some major deals with powerful corporations from all over the universe well the other universe.
Which brings us back to your original question. The 7th floor has an interstellar civilization, a very magical one seeing as they have dungeons, but an interstellar civilization none the less.
A small time business man....well small for the other universe but for earth his assets would have singlehandedly bought out every major corporation on earth with some change to spare. He chose to become a Raen, move his operations to Raen Valley along with his family, and while the rest of the family is cool, his kids especially. The man had a problem, and it was that problem that had driven him to the Raens..... an Unquenchable, uncontrollable appetite for the wives of powerful men, he came.... for me."
