Chapter 257 – America (4)

Takuya left the hotel and strolled through downtown Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley.

A place densely populated with American high-tech industries, especially IT and semiconductor-based companies and research institutes.

Takuya had made significant investments here in IT companies that were expected to grow substantially in the future.

Not just the businesses fronted by Julia and Jessica, but real investments.

More precisely, investments in places that were currently insignificant due to a lack of technology, but were poised for great success in the future.

In short, ultra-long-term investments.

Why make such long-term investments?

There were two main reasons.

One was my youth.

I have many years ahead of me. Even without mentioning my age, with the items I possess, extending my lifespan is not difficult.

In other words, I can easily live until the era I originally lived in.

Naturally, it was fine to make ultra-long-term investments.

Of course, there was another reason for making long-term investments.

‘Because I’m already making a ton of money. I’m investing with pocket change.’

The money I was investing was just pocket change.

If I invested a mere $100,000 in future mega-corporations that would grow like crazy, wouldn’t I be the one profiting?

Anyway, that was why I was investing.

Additionally, I was steadily buying stocks in companies that were consistently growing, using large sums of money.

I had already become a major shareholder in several future conglomerates.

Well, this was actually closer to the company’s assets than my personal ones.

‘Because the company bought them.’

Although, on the surface, they were invested in people around me.

It couldn’t be helped. If I held the shares of a company that received such massive investments every year, I would be hit with huge taxes and easily attract unwanted attention.

I couldn’t attract too much attention yet, and most of the people I could trust were [non-existent], and I didn’t want to use a dead person’s identity.

So, why am I saying all this?

It was nothing much, just that as I was walking, I wondered if it would be a good idea to move the company to the US later.

‘It’s about time taxes are becoming a burden.’

No. Actually, I was already doing that.

I was slowly selling off the shares of the Japanese headquarters under an American identity.

Huh? Weren’t I also running a business using Julia and Jessica?

Ahem, that was just a startup business that had nothing to do with me.

‘It’s different from the company I’m running.’

Although it was a company made up of people I knew and my investments, it was a pure American company.

It was absolutely not a company meant to take advantage of the benefits given to American companies later on.

Anyway, thanks to the fact that I was transferring things little by little, the taxes weren’t so high that I felt like throwing up.

‘Though it still makes me want to curse.’

Takuya was thinking such thoughts as he headed to the office where Julia was.

A shared office space in Silicon Valley.

You might wonder why a shared office, but for a company that didn’t even have a proper office, there was no better place than a shared office.

Presumably, they would get a separate office when the business grew.

Anyway, Takuya swiped the check card he had received in advance and entered.

Inside, people from various startups were walking around.

Takuya also felt quite a few gazes directed at him.

Well, some people were admiring my muscles or face, but many were wondering, why is an Asian here?

No. There are guys over there speaking Chinese and Japanese, why are you giving me a hard time?

I wanted to punish those racist gazes, but if I did, I would have to eat donuts with the police, so I just headed to the office where Julia was.

As I headed to the floor where the office was, I saw Julia sitting in front of a brightly lit monitor in the darkened office.

‘She’s wearing glasses?’

To be precise, Julia was wearing glasses and a suit, not the military uniform she used to wear often.

Takuya was momentarily taken aback by her unfamiliar appearance.

But seeing her changed appearance, Takuya found it refreshing and quietly smiled.

Then, he quietly approached Julia, who was focused on the monitor, and tapped her on the shoulder.

“Julia.”
“Oh, ah. Ah! T-Takuya. It’s been a while.”

Julia looked at me with a surprised expression when I tapped her shoulder.

Seeing her career woman-like face, Takuya found it quite amusing and said,

“It’s been a while, you’ve changed a lot since the last time we met?”

At Takuya’s words, she nodded awkwardly and said,

“Yeah, it seems like it suits me more than I thought, so much that my attire changed without me realizing it.”

Takuya was slightly surprised by that.

It seemed that Julia was much more suited to the job than Takuya had expected.

“Well, that’s a relief.”

Thanks to that, Takuya smiled, looking slightly relieved.

Originally, I was planning to demote her to a figurehead position once the company grew, then give her a generous severance package and let her retire, but seeing how hard she was working, it seemed that was only necessary for Jessica.

Takuya nodded at Julia’s words and asked her,

“If you haven’t eaten yet, let’s go grab a bite.”
“Should we? Ah, I’ll contact Jessica─”
“Ah, Jessica won’t answer.”

At my words, Julia made a face like ‘Already?!’ and nodded, then packed her things and came down with me.

Then, after naturally getting into the car, we headed to the outskirts of the city.

The place we arrived at was a restaurant that looked quite luxurious.

“What is this place?”
“I heard it’s a new restaurant. I was curious, so I came to check it out.”

At her words, Takuya chuckled and asked,

“Are you using me as a guinea pig?”
“That’s right.”

They chatted casually and finished ordering.

“It seems like the job suits you well.”
“Yeah, I had a friend in college who had similar goals, so I heard a lot of stories.”
“Ah, that’s right. You said you went to college?”
“I originally joined the military to earn tuition money. It unexpectedly suited me, so I kept working until I was discharged, and when I was wandering around, Jessica and I received a scouting offer.”

Joining the military to earn tuition money.

‘Is it similar to Korea?’

For a moment, I thought that, but soon realized it wasn’t.

‘It wouldn’t be mandatory conscription.’

If that were the case in the US, there would be lawsuits.

Anyway, after a while of small talk with Julia.

Julia took a sip of the wine poured into her glass along with the food, then put the glass down and asked me,

“So, are you planning on going for a second round with me again?”

At Julia’s words, Takuya just smiled and replied,

“Of course.”

At Takuya’s words, Julia smiled as if she couldn’t help it and started eating.

For the record, I also had a glass of wine.

After a satisfying meal, Julia and I didn’t go straight back to the hotel, but quickly entered a nearby love hotel.

And then.

─Chuup♥ Chulup♥ Haup♥

They started kissing passionately before they even took off their shoes at the entrance.

Even when we were eating, Jessica’s eyes had been looking at me in a way that was not normal.

It seemed she was quite pent up as well.

“You’re more impatient than before?”

At Takuya’s words, Julia smirked and said,

“There aren’t any men here who are up to my standards.”
“Weren’t there any men of this size?”
“No. There are only nerds around, so it’s not very fun.”
“Someone like you would have been able to handle them even if they weren’t nerds.”

At Takuya’s question, Julia wrapped her arms around Takuya’s neck and said,

“There aren’t any men as good as you.”

At that, Takuya chuckled.

“Your standards have gotten higher, haven’t they?”
“That’s why I can’t meet anyone.”

It seemed that Julia’s standards had gotten much higher after being with me.

It was a slightly insincere statement, but it was a pleasant thing to hear, so Takuya accepted it with a smile.

“Hehe, then I guess I have to take responsibility.”
“That’s right.”

At Takuya’s words, Julia gave a seductive smile, looked Takuya in the eyes, and said,

“So, hurry up and pounce on me. You beast♥”

At those words, Takuya and Julia threw off their clothes and headed to the bed.

As soon as Takuya and Julia reached the bed, they began to devour each other with eyes that seemed to have lost their reason.

─Chuup♥ Chulureup♥ Jjoop♥ Hauup♥

Well, it was natural.

Takuya was already not in his right mind due to dozens of sex sessions and a bit of alcohol.

Julia was also not in her right mind due to stress from work, a bit of alcohol, and the presence of a ‘male’ who would fill her up after a long time.

In short, both of them were out of their minds.

─Tzup♥

And as much as they were out of their minds, the pace of their sex was also fast.

‘Oh, is it because it’s been a while? It’s a bit tight.’

Takuya swallowed a groan as he felt Julia’s tightening vagina as soon as he penetrated her, and Julia, tasting Takuya’s dick after a long time,

“Kkeuheueut♥♥!!”

Was losing her mind.
