After Reincarnating, My System Quit!

(A/N For all of you that like-favorite chapter 71 and hit the like-favorite on every chapter, thanks a lot!)

Chapter 74  Moth And Flame! by Harem-Fan

     It is currently Friday late morning as our 4 hour Principles of Management class is nearing its end.

     I think back on the highlights of the week...

     Yesterday our temporary Computers Teacher Shen said her goodbyes as a substitute, as the new teacher would start on Monday. She was over-acting like she was our mother and would miss not seeing us everyday.

     Nadia and Nichole are celebrating her leaving, because this teacher Shen has been cock-blocking them from riding me in the mornings. Actually the twins are cute when they are made to behave, but I will never tell them that.

     They just like Mary have officially entered the 12th week or 3rd month of pregnancy and are now showing just a bit. Thankfully with my Medicine Skill I am able to understand and monitor our sexual activity to assure it is safe for my pregnant lovers.

(A/N I will put an article on pregnancy and sex in a spoiler at the end if you are unaware of how it works for healthy mothers. But it's not necessary for this story.)

     Teacher Shen threatened me to visit Victoria's office once in a while or she would make life hard on me with her. Lucy Shen really gives me a caring older sister or aunt vibe. I know we don't have an attraction, but she seems to care about my relationship with her boss.

     Coach Love Triangle has been happy with my teaching with some of her more promising team-oriented students, and actually had a few transfers to my class to work with me. I can tell the coach wants to win this winter's Azure State Cup for Kung-Fu. The second half of the year will be the Nationals and she hopes we can do well in it as well.

     I had lunch with Tina yesterday, and she told me she wants to make love to me after the Saturday match. She also told me her mother found out, but all she did was smile at Tina and hugged her like she did a good job? Yeah, I had expected an angry call from Lane Feng, but no, instead I will be eating lunch with them on Sunday, probably Tina's plans.

     Oh that's right, the Song! They are not as dumb as Scott and Debby and fingered the limo-fire and bar-fire done simultaneously as a warning, but for the life of them, they can't figure out who would be so bold. Plus the unknown blonde-man in their home gave them pause.

     They do have a hunch that it is related to the money and Scott's mother because of the disaster it brought, and they figured the bar only died because Scott frequents it. Actually that is correct. They just can't believe Rick Lee was capable of such a feat, so I was not even a suspect.

     Linda has been more frequently texting me for more information about my life as a child, basically things before high-school. She had paid attention in high-school so she already knew all of that, and hearing things from Mary is not as good.

     James is still unaware of Victoria and I crashing their date. Well it is good we are because poor James is freaking out besides me right now. He brought his snacks and has been binge munching in nervousness. Ashley actually is a beautiful girl and is counted as one of the top ten beauties in Star University.

     "Brother, what should I talk about? I forgot my lines!"

     Cat Woo is annoyed at him for constantly talking about what the blonde-bimbo says.

     "Fuck, I hope she stands you up so you shut up, sigh."

     If I was not friends with James, I probably would have said the same thing to him.

     Then with that, we hear Victoria finish her lecture and say to everyone.

     "Please pass your employee workflow-chart to Mr Lee on your way out to be graded, and everyone have a safe week."

     So everyone was on their way out and Scott handed me his stupid paper and smiled, he then said.

     "I have noticed you and Linda talking a lot. Just remember, she is my woman not yours. So enjoy the little bit of time you have left with her, bye bastard."

     As Scott turned to walk out I asked him.

     "Have you been horseback riding all this week? I have been noticing a faint shit smell coming off your body?"

     I saw his fist tighten for a second then he only smiled at me like I was already a dead man. Well sure, because he hired Blood Demon to reap my soul last night and transferred one million into my account I set up.

     Tina seeing me smirk at the back of Scott came to my side and asked.

     "So what are you two children doing now?"

     I smile at her and tell her while no one is around.

     "He hired an assassin named Blood Demon to kill me last night. So he thinks I am a dead man."

     Tina lost her smile and asked me.

     "Rick, are you sure it was Blood Demon? I can assure you he did not hire that assassin."

     "Yup, I redirected Scott's call to me and I let him pay me to kill myself, ha-ha!"

     Still with her killers-face, she tells me.

     "Rick dear, I am the Blood Demon, it's my work identity."

     I was really shocked to hear that.

     "But Dan Song said he was a male friend?"

     Tina pokes my head like an idiot.

     "Who is going to hire a young woman to kill their foes? No, my butler acts as Blood Demon when he is on the phone and when meeting others. I am called Blood Demon because of my crimson-hair, silly. No one ever sees me kill so my identity is unknown to anyone outside the family, and you. Not even Jenifer knows so keep it under wraps."

     She then put on her smile seeing me impressed with her job now. I smile and say.

     "Crap, I am both turned on and intimidated! But I am keeping Scott's money."

     She rolled her eyes and said to me.

     "Come to the event tomorrow and sit in the Tang section. Dont come to me at the event, I will just be with my family, and I will see you on Sunday, and don't forget, I want you."

     She then charmingly swayed-out. While I was getting the stack of paper in order and watching her leave, I smelled vanilla behind me and knew it was my teacher.

     Acting Basic kicks in to school my face. I turn and hold up all the papers and say.

     "Teacher Long, I have counted them all and everyone turned one in."

     She took them and put them into her bag and then asked me.

     "I have heard much about Feng's challenge for the second daughter's hand in marriage. So your Number 2?"

     I smile like an innocent kid and explain.

     "Around 3 months ago, Tina Feng drafted me into their game without asking for my permission. But, Tina wanted me to win, so she did not have to marry those other men. The announcement did not mention it, but the Fire Birds Syndicate control is also on the line here."

     Vicky looked surprised at that and asked me.

     "So both Tina Feng and the Fire Birds are a bound winning prize? I did not think you wanted to run a Syndicate."

     I shake my head and tell her.

     "Nope, I don't care about that at all. I only want to fight and beat up the Number 1 Steve Woo, Cats husband for harassing my wife. But..."

     I look out the open door to the outside windows and continue.

     "My plan was to throw the fight and not win. However, Tina who slowly became my friend pleaded for me to win. So, I agreed to win it for her so she won't be sad."

     "Then if you win, what will you do?"

     I pack my bag and tell her honestly.

     "Tina Feng will become a lower number wife and she will run the Fire Birds. It is a marriage of convenience, but it will be more than that. We are partners and friends first though."

     Victoria was surprised and asked.

     "What? Even with your wives, you have not had a 1st wife yet?!"

     I shrug and tell her.

     "I have a complicated background and my wives insisted I keep it open, but Mary as the 2nd wife is the default first ."

     She nodded and asked.

     "It is because your mother was a Tang, right?"

     I nodded and put my bag over my shoulder and told her.

     "My maid is waiting for me, so I will be back in a bit before your last class ends so we can do the grading. See you in a few hours."

-

     Victoria stood on the third floor window seeing me get let in Mei's car and she watched the maid smile as she drove off with me in tow.

     She muttered to herself.

     "Am I a moth or a flame?"

     "Sadly boss, you're a moth I think."

     Vicky had not noticed when Lucy Shen was standing next to her watching the white-car pull off.

     "Did you come for lunch in my office?"

     "Yup, my last computer class is done, so my role as substitute teacher has come to an end, but it was fun. Now I can take care of the office fully again, fufu."

     Victoria asked.

     I was given two VIP seats for tomorrow's night's fight, are you coming with me? If not, I don't think I will go.

     "Nope, it is midnight and this old-lady is going to bed early. You youngsters can play all you want. Plus the whole thing is a waste of time."

     The two of them entered the elevator and are now heading down to Victoria's office and she asks her.

     "Why is it a waste of time?"

     "Have you been living under a rock? Rick Lee is a prodigy in martial arts and won't even break a sweat in this silly child fight. The only way he can lose is if he throws in the towel. What kind of stalker are you to not even have watched his fights?"

     With the slightest of blushes she scolds the employee.

     "First, I am not a stalker. And I am not really interested in fighting, so I was just told by Ashlee he was good, that's all I need to know."

     Lucy Shen stuck her tongue out and then said.

     "Soooo, If Rick said... He was not interested in the Victoria Long businesses, how would you feel?"

     Victoria, who is most proud of the businesses she creates and puts in much effort into, being regarded as not interesting, really hit her with mental damage. So she asked.

     "Then do you have his recorded fights? I will watch them during lunch?"

     The expert Rick stalker, hearing the amateur Rick stalker, only smiled that this woman appreciated her nephew. She nodded, then they entered the office...

-

     Thanks to Mei I did not have to slave away in the kitchen, but I did help her to prepare the meal for my wives. Naturally, I need to learn from Mei and her advanced cooking level, so I can be as good as her. I made sure and dressed for the BBQ House this time and not go in my black-long-coat.

     Knowing Victoria would be wearing her black-suit, I wore my grey tie-less outfit and am only bringing only my fathers gun and a suppressor with me tonight. I want to be able to take my jacket off during the meal, and she is not a fan of lots of guns, unlike Tina.

     So I spent about an hour watching my wives favorite soaps with them before I finally left.

     Kissing them both, I told them the plans for tonight, and then Mei drove me to the University again.

-

     As I was getting out of the car, Mei straightened my outfit and said to me.

     "I will be hiding in the background if you need me, and then I will take you home. Feel free to drink since I will drive. Lastly, here is a pin so you can talk and I can hear what's going on if you need me."

     She put a small pin of a small cute white-bunny on one of my open buttons. She smiled at the design I blankly looked at. She said.

     "You code named me Bunny so it will look less strange to call me with a bunny pin, fufu."

     I shake my head and take off saying.

     "Whoever sent you to be my partner, has a strange sense of humor, sigh."

     Mei then with a grin got back in her car and parked in a secluded spot and lowered herself to watch.

-

     I stood at the door of Victoria's last class as she was wrapping up after seeing me.

     "Please pass your employee workflow-chart to Mr Lee behind you, who is my teaching assistant, on your way out to be graded, and everyone have a safe week."

     Yeah, these guys all saw me two weeks ago when they thought I was a creeper. Well I did look suspicious that day.

     Soon after the last paper was received, I walked to her desk to put the paper in her bag.

     "Mr Lee, I see you changed for tonight and not in your bodyguard outfit. Then I am guessing tonight should be peaceful?"

     I can tell she is teasing me for the last time and I shrug.

     "Sorry Teacher Long, but trouble comes looking for me, honestly."

     The two of us then leave to go down to her office to work.

-

     It was approaching 7 pm and the time for James and Ashley's date. Victoria grins as we finished early and she said to me.

     "Making you my teaching assistant was one of my better decisions, you are very efficient. Let me get changed for dinner."

     I noticed she pulled a clothing-bag from behind the office door and went into her bathroom to change?! I thought she would just wear her office-lady outfit.

     While she changed I looked at my Cat and Mouse App to see who was where. Mei also watches it just in-case, but I need to be ready for incoming idiots.

     Soon the bathroom door opens and I just stupidly stare at teacher Long...

     She put her hair up in a loose-bun, and she was wearing a red-dinner dress that only went above her knees. She showed only a tasteful amount of cleavage but that is still enough to make me fantasize!

     She then slowly puts on a red matching thin jacket to cover her more and hide the seduction. 

     I almost had this feeling she was showing it to me? Well because she could have put the jacket on in the bathroom, right? She then asked me.

     "This outfit, is it too much? I thought since we were chaperoning them, I would look a bit more intimidating if I stayed in my business-suit?"

     I scratched my head and honestly told her.

     "My only concern is if James can focus on talking with Ashley, with you dressed like that, but it looks good."

     After she picked up her purse and school things we left, I as a gentleman carried her heavy school bag.

-

     Climbing out of her black BMW 7 series luxury car, we straighten our outfits before we head into the packed restaurant.

     Victoria and I are not on a date, so we don't hold arms or anything. But I do stand next to her while she talks to the attendant.

     The lady obviously recognizes her owner of the establishment and swiftly takes menus to lead us upstairs where it's more private.

     In a darker and slightly quieter spot we are offered our seats. Vicky said to me.

     "We will let them sit side by side, so you and I will put our backs in the corner-booth."

     We are at a row of six booths and she is pointing for us to put our-backs so we can see everything. She then goes into the inside booth-seat letting me box her in on the outside.

     Vicky ordered for both of us, white-wine, well it's fine I am not driving and I can now handle a few glasses without too much worry.

     She pushed up her glasses then asked me after sipping her wine.

     "Rick, tomorrow night, will you be going to the midnight-event?"

     I shrugged and said.

     "I think I am, but I had not made plans."

     "Did you get your tickets?"

     After sipping the good tasting wine, I asked in confusion.

     "No, I was just going to show up and buy some then."

     She smiled and then told me. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!

     "The seats are sold out, you know?"

     "Damn, really?"

     Then I hear a surprised James being led by a hostess and Ashley at his side.

     "Rick brother and teacher Long, you guys are joining us?!"

     Ashley smiled and tapped his shoulder and whispered in his ear.

     "My aunt got the table and is paying for everything and anything, so let's do it."

     Broke-man hearing the magic word all men love... FREE, just nodded like her words made so much sense. Then the two sat.

     James and his date gave their drink order, then my good buddy started the night off with a bang...

     "Wow, I am surprised we are on a double date!"

     Victoria and I are speechless at his excited face!
