Chapter 224: Boyfriend?

Amon carried Sidney out of the dungeon in a princess carry.

The girl was sleeping soundly in his arms, her head resting against his chest while her crimson tails curled comfortably around herself.

Amon glanced down at her sleeping face and let out a sigh. "I really need to be more careful with this girl."

He was always hard on her when fucking and it didn’t helped when she begged for more.

Fortunately, everything had worked out well, and she had awakened physique that could change her entire future.

A small smile appeared on his face as he adjusted his hold on her.

After reaching the entrance, Amon found his motorcycle where they had left it and carefully settled Sidney on the tank in front of him.

He climbed onto the seat behind her, wrapped her arms around his waist, and made sure she was holding him securely before reaching for the handlebars.

"Hold on properly, sleepyhead. I don’t want you falling off halfway home."

Sidney stirred at his voice, then smiled with her eyes still closed as she tightened her arms around him.

Her head rested against his chest, and her fiery tails curled around his waist as though they had decided he was the most comfortable place in the world.

Amon looked down at her and smiled gently before starting the motorcycle.

After returning home, Amon carried Sidney to her bedroom and gently placed her on the bed.

He had barely closed the door when his phone began vibrating.

Amon took it out and glanced at the screen before answering the call. "Hello? What’s up?"

"Amon, you should come and visit me."

Felicia’s voice came from the other side, sounding as composed as ever.

He leaned against the wall and asked, "Where are you right now?"

"I’m at the first construction site."

"Oh, the mana-rich land? Alright, I’ll come over soon."

"Good. I’ll be waiting."

The call ended, and Amon lowered his phone before rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

’She’s definitely going to ask about Marielle.’

He could already imagine Felicia looking at him with that cold, suspicious expression of hers.

Amon chuckled to himself. ’Should I tell her that I was planning to fuck her sister as well?’

The thought amused him for several seconds before he imagined Felicia’s reaction.

Considering how protective she could be whenever her family was involved, she might genuinely try to kill him.

’Yeah, let’s not test my luck today.’

He put his phone away and walked into the living room, where he sat on the sofa and stretched his legs.

He opened the system interface.

----

[20x Rebate System Activated!]

[Eligible Investment Detected.]

[Investment: Flame Emperor’s Origin Scripture.]

[Return Multiplier: ×20]

[Reward Obtained: Solar Phoenix Scripture.]

[Grade: Mythical]

[Description: An ancient cultivation method derived from the principles of solar fire and the essence of the Phoenix. It allows the user to absorb solar energy and fire-aligned mana, refining them into pure flame essence.]

----

Amon stared at the notification for several seconds before a satisfied smile spread across his face.

’Now this is a good reward.’

He opened the details and read through the description again.

Considering that he already possessed an affinity for every element, this method could expand his options rather than forcing him to rely on a single type of magic.

Amon leaned back against the sofa, his expression turning thoughtful.

His frost magic was useful, his spatial abilities gave him exceptional mobility, and his other skills offered plenty of ways to handle different situations.

However, there was always room to become stronger.

A powerful fire-based cultivation method would give him another means of attacking his enemies, particularly opponents who were vulnerable to intense heat or spiritual flames.

If he could combine it with his existing abilities, he might develop some interesting techniques.

’I’ll need to study this properly when I have time.’

Amon closed the system interface and stretched his arms above his head before rising from the sofa.

----

Amon arrived at the mana-rich land and parked his motorcycle near the construction site.

He stepped off the bike and looked across the property, where workers and adventurers moved between partially completed buildings.

The place had changed considerably since his last visit.

Several large structures had already taken shape, with their foundations reinforced by mana-infused materials.

Workers were busy transporting stone blocks and wooden beams, while specialized equipment carved through the rocky ground.

Amon walked forward, studying the construction with interest.

’They’re moving much faster than I expected.’

After looking around for a moment, he spotted two familiar figures standing near a half-completed building.

Felicia and Ambrosia were talking beside a stack of construction materials, apparently discussing something related to the project.

When they noticed Amon approaching, both women turned toward him.

Their eyes briefly lit up.

Amon noticed the strange coincidence immediately, but before he could ask anything, Felicia was the first to look away.

"You really have some nerve, making people irritated just by showing your face."

Amon blinked. "What did I do?"

"Your face is annoying."

He stared at her for a moment before shrugging. "Well, I’m sorry my face has personally offended you."

"Don’t apologize. It won’t change anything."

"Sure, my lady."

Felicia gave him a cold look.

Amon simply waved toward Ambrosia, who stood beside her with a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Hello, Mom. What were you two talking about?"

Ambrosia returned his wave with a small smile. "Nothing important. We were just discussing the construction schedule."

Amon accepted her explanation without questioning it and turned his attention toward the site.

From where he stood, he could see the foundations of several buildings, along with workers installing reinforced supports around the main structure.

The sheer speed of the construction impressed him.

"How long until everything is finished?" he asked.

Felicia folded her arms and followed his gaze toward the buildings. "Less than a month, assuming there are no unexpected problems."

Amon turned toward her, his interest immediately shifting from the construction itself to the money it would eventually generate.

"Then when are we starting to make money?"

"Soon."

"That’s a very detailed answer."

"Shut up."

Amon shook his head, but he couldn’t hide his smile.

As far as he was concerned, the sooner the business started generating revenue, the better.

He wanted to see how quickly they could turn their mana-rich land into a profitable enterprise.

After observing the site for another moment, he finally remembered why Felicia had called him.

"Anyway, why did you ask me to come here?"

Felicia didn’t answer immediately, she studied his face for several seconds, her expression becoming unusually serious.

She glanced toward Ambrosia. "I’d like to talk to you alone."

Ambrosia immediately nodded, seemingly understanding that the conversation wasn’t meant for her. "Of course. I’ll take a look around the site while you two talk."

She walked away before Amon could ask what was happening, leaving him standing beside Felicia with a growing sense of suspicion.

He looked at her and she looked back at him.

For once, Felicia didn’t appear to be preparing an insult or threatening to throw him out of her sight.

Her expression was so serious that Amon began wondering whether something had happened to their business.

"Did something go wrong?" he asked.

"No."

"Then is there a problem with the construction?"

"No."

Amon frowned. "Are you going to tell me what’s going on, or do I have to guess?"

Felicia took a slow breath, straightened her posture, and looked him directly in the eyes.

With the straightest face she could manage, she said, "Be my boyfriend."
