Screwing vixen ladies over and serving retribution on them is my watchword. As for redemption, I'm not so sure.
Tony comforted himself perfectly, and with the calmness and innocence of someone who couldn't cause any harm, he walked back into the party.
The party was still packed with people; workers, guests, and even those who had nothing to do but just came to flex around.
But now everywhere was humming with different layered voices. People were in different groups discussing, maybe business or their personal shit. Some did so over food or drinks, some were at the balcony, some were standing. The music, however, was on a low key.
Tony exhaled as he walked fully into the party, eyes sweeping across the room like a hungry hawk scanning for prey, except he wasn't looking for meat.
He was looking for his mother.
Funnily enough, his mother found him first.
"There you are, Tom," came her voice from behind him.
Tony turned and saw her walking toward him.
He smiled. She was always looking very hot and striking, and she was in her best colour today,
Green.
She wore a deep emerald gown that swept the floor, but that was only the part behind. From the front, the gown was cut high up, showing her beautiful full brown, sexy laps.
Her curves were always a wonder that made Tony ponder day in, day out why she was still single. Her breasts were big on her chest, and the gown wasn't helping; it formed a tantalizing cleavage. And her hips; even though the gown was bogus, it still sculpted it into a perfect 8.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" his mother, Miss Aurelia, asked as she walked up to him with her usual hip-swaying movement.
Tony blinked and shook his head.
"What choice did you leave me?" he replied, throwing his hands up dramatically. "You… you look dazzling."
His mom smiled; a small, amused curl of her lips.
"You dumbass, so it's now that you feel me…" she mused, playfully. "I've been hyping your ass all night, and it's now you notice this beautiful damsel, huh?"
"Uhh, come on, Mum," Tony beseeched with a faint smirk. "This is the chance I got to take in your beauty… and damn, Mum, I gotta say, that body belongs to the bed."
"You motherfucker," Miss Aurelia teased lovingly, as she burst into laughter, punching him playfully on the arm as both of them laughed.
"It's really good to have you back, Tom," his mother crackled proudly. "Well, I won't say I ain't surprised, but I swear to God, I knew you would come around," she added jovially with a proud nod.
"Come here, you... hug your mother."
"Ooohh, Mom," Tony groaned jokingly as he pulled her into a hug.
Miss Aurelia squeezed him tightly.
"Haaaaaa," she gasped, so, so happy. Then all of a sudden she whispered into his ear, "And next time you're going to fuck some bitch inside my damn company, you might as well do it with a condom." She sighed.
"Taking a walk my ass," she added as she let go.
"Come on, let's go meet those fucken businessmen."
Tony could only stare at her, mouth agape. The way she normally turned out to know everything surprised him.
…
The rest of the night was remarkably and unbelievably fast for Tony. He met many investors, shareholders, and business partners, many lower clients and also high clients and all. He even went further and visited the man in charge of the whole CCTV camera, checked on Natty; who was still sleeping naked inside his old office. Checked his new office, and now he was seated again at the back of his limo.
He might have pretended not to notice, but really, it got him concerned.
In truth, when he saw his mom that second time, something sexual was going on in his mind toward her.
Yes, maybe she wasn't his real mother, but…
"Stop being paranoid, Tony," he suddenly said to himself. "That's just called being a man. And besides… she's hot."
"Sir?" came Simma's voice from the driver's seat.
"Am I to take you home straightaway?"
Tony pressed his lips as he considered if he had unfinished business.
"Yes," he finally answered. He checked his watch; half past 1 A.M.
"Take us home."
"Alright," Simma replied.
Immediately the car set into motion, as if on cue, Manniak's voice came into his head.
[Mr Quin: A job well done ✔️]
[You have successfully and impeccably conquered your first vixen.]
"Ohh, is that right?" Tony chimed proudly.
[Yes, Mr Quin,] Manniak answered, not caring whether it was rhetorical or not.
[Vixen Tab:
– Name: Natty Adriana
– Age: 26
– Occupation: Aside from vixen unloyal work… a hotel waitress
– Net worth: formerly $7,000,000
– Anomaly: Tier II Red Rukress]
[Side Mission: Natty Adriana is redeemable… she should be redeemed.]
A seethe ran through Tony as he clenched his fist.
"Fuck!" he yelled.
"What's wrong, sir?" Simma asked, a bit worried he might be yelling at him. "D-did I do something...?"
"Just drive, Simma," Tony replied, shutting the little window and putting on soundproof.
"Rude," Simma muttered under his breath.
However, Manniak was not bothered about Tony's anger.
[Accessing your victory info:
– Natty's affection rate toward you in 100%: [Love: 68%], [Trust: 79%],[Lust: 100%], [Sex climax: over 100%]
– Karmic essence: 3 [+25]]
"Seriously, Manniak?" Tony bellowed meanly.
"She cost me ten essences and gave only twenty-five?"
[Mr Quin, she is a low-ranked vixen… and besides, you haven't completed all missions yet. Your side mission still remains.]
"Great," Tony muttered. "Just great… Now she is a low-ranked vixen, but earlier you said she was a tough one."
[Mr Quin, for your level she is a tough one. You are a Level 1 Maniacal Retributor, and she gave her full essence.]
Tony winced, surprised at this hidden part of the system.
"You never mentioned this." he snapped "You never said I had levels."
[Because, Mr Quin,] Manniak replied calmly, [you just unlocked your Maniacal System fully.]
[You are now a full Maniacal Retributor. Welcome to our world.]
Tony smiled despite himself. It sure felt good what he did to Natty, but this was still half the joy. He couldn't wait till she wakes up and finds out.
He nodded apprehensively.
"Tell me more then about my victory." Tony said confidently.
– Wealth acquired: [(●_●)] $7,000,000
"Ain't that just beautiful," Tony sneered, not minding the smiley.
Just then...
Ding ding ding...
[Mr Tom Tony Quin, you have awakened your levels as a Maniacal Retributor.]
[System Attributes:
– Level Title: [Eros-Marked One]
– New Trait Unlocked and Evolved: [Eros Resonance]
– New Trait Flaw: [Overuse perverts user]
"Oh, Jesus," Tony exclaimed, rubbing his hands on his head. It was really overwhelming.
"God, Manniak… what is this new trait all about?" he asked, curious to know his new perks.
[As you know, Mr Quin, that trait is a permanent passive ability. Therefore; Eros Resonance is your ability to detect a vixen's resonating temperaments. In a wider scheme, it is the innate ability that helps point out their weak spots, reveals their emotional leakage points, their weaknesses, their deepest cracks where retribution can strike cleanest.]
"Mmm," Tony mumbled cozily. "About time."
If they had given him this perk in the beginning, he wouldn't have had to go through all that process in seducing Natty. He would have just known that all she wanted was to be the COO herself.
Of course, he too just found it out now by putting the pieces together.
First, she never planned to say she had a fiancé because she wasn't even wearing her engagement ring.
Which means, her being at the party initially was to seduce her way, normally like she does into getting, a better job at the company.
But a better chance blossomed when Tony made advances toward her. What better post could she wish more that being COO, so her plan was now to do what she does best as a vixen.
But when Tony narrated his pitying life experience with drugs… she found a better way: tell him a pitying story too so he would feel sorry for her, and like every man; want to always make her happy, shower her with money and all, until finally…
He would "fall deeply in love"
and willingly hand over the COO position.
However, she thought that way because Tony gave her the impression that he didn't care about the company or his job.
Honestly what made Tony realize all this fully was when he promised to make her his P.A., for accepting to transfer $70,000. she didn't even want to think twice anymore whether he was lying or telling the truth about rehab blocking his account and all that.
Well, all in all, it was still a win, just a longer-process win. If he knew that was her game from the start, it would have been way simpler... but now with this Eros Resonance... things would be smoother. Is just that the flaw was compromising.
However, hee relaxed at the back of his limo.
"This is just the beginning."
