Villain Retirement

Chapter 1079: Even More Convoluted



"Riley... we need to talk."

Both Liz and Katrina looked at each other as Aerith walked to them so far, in the last 16 years, the two of them have only been Riley's two wives. Esme did not really act like Riley's wife. It was obvious that she fancied Riley, but the two always just act indifferent to each other when they're together; it was a miracle how Enel was even conceived, perhaps it was purely an act of necessity.

The two have always just shared Riley together-no, it wasn't even sharing, as for some reason, it truly felt like Riley loved them both equally. Of course, whether or not it was love was hard to discern, as Riley was... special. But now, they know they can't just hoard him by themselves as Katherine and Aerith were here.

"Liza, we'll find your daughter," Aerith did not focus solely on Riley, however, as she also embraced Katrina and Liza; almost not being able to because of both their gigantic breasts.

"Saying it to me once is enough... thank you," Liza wiped her tears as she embraced Aerith back, "And now that our husband is here, I know it's only a matter of time until Rennalyn shows herself."

"He's... not my husband," Aerith could really only sigh at Liza's words, "It's... just a moment of passion."

"You don't need to lie, Megawoman," Katrina also tightened her embrace, "We don't choose who we fall in love with; even more so in your case. Silvie told me that it's just a themarian's instinct to be attracted to a stronger mate, even she is feeling it and that's why she tries her best not to spend time with Riley too much."

"...You make it sound like we're primitive animals."

"Aren't you...? Your species have lived for millions of years already," Katrina let out a small chuckle, "The body wants what the body wants. Anyway... Liz and I will leave you here to talk to him a bit. I'm also going to talk to Miss Pepondosovich. I heard... they found my original living outside the universe?"

"Yes, Katrina," Riley answered, "But I do believe that both of you are original."

"That—" Katrina's eyes almost instantly swelled up again as soon as she heard Riley's words. She then rushed to embrace him, letting out a squeal before just running away and pulling Liza away with her to Miss Pepondosovich.

"...I suppose that can be interpreted as something sweet," Aerith smiled as she stood in front of Riley.

"It has been a while, Aerith," Riley nodded as he looked Aerith in the eyes, "And you are still as beautiful as the day you were in my closet last time."

"...Thanks," Aerith could really only sigh at Riley's words, "Riley, we need to talk about something Diana and I discovered - we haven't told anyone else, but she's planning on telling it to the Diana and Bernard you brought back with you as soon as she saw them... and I think you should know too."

"Then please tell me, Aerith. Before something interrupts us," Riley gestured to Aerith to just say it and stop explaining.

"Okay," Aerith nodded, "The one you call Aerith'Ross is—"

"Riley!"

Alas, Riley seemed to completely know the pattern of his life as someone did interrupt them before Aerith could actually say what she wanted to say, a distorted silhouette suddenly rushed toward them.

"..." Riley did not really say anything, just flicking his fingers and causing the distortion to disappear... revealing Hannah who was flying toward him with her fist already locked on to hit his face. Riley once again only stared at her, not moving at all and just closing his eyes - ready to accept whatever it was that Hannah was going to throw at her.

"You..." As soon as Hannah saw that, however, her fist opened up as her arm just wrapped around Riley's neck... and embraced her, "You're... so fucking late, you fucking bitch. So, fucking late."

"I am sorry, Sister," Riley whispered as he returned Hannah's embrace. Katrina, Liza, and even Aerith could not help but just smile at that - no matter whether they were his wife, or whether they had their children... they really would not be able to beat the affection that Riley has for his sister, never,

"The circumstances made it impossible for me to return immediately. You have grown old, Sister."

"I know, I know..." Hannah nodded vehemently, "Esme's variant told me. And I'm sorry... I'm also sorry for not reaching out to you when you returned. I knew... I knew you were back, it's just... I didn't know what to fucking say to you."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"How about just telling him you love him? And fuck you, Riley Ross. We look very young for our age you're the one who hasn't changed even a single bit."

"Nannah?" Riley blinked a couple of times as he saw another Hannah walking calmly toward them. It is true, disregarding the 600+ years everyone did not age, the 16 years they did almost did absolutely nothing to Hannah and Nannah; they looked older, yes, but not by 16 years at most, it would be 5 or 6,

"I did not think you would still be alive."

"Thanks..." Nannah smirked while raising her middle finger, "...I would hug you, but I don't really remember us being that close - just that I wanted to fuck you."

"Jesus—what the fuck, Nannah?" Hannah could not help but just let go of Riley as soon as she heard Nannah saying that.

"What?" Nannah shrugged, "Unlike you, I don't have familial ties with the strongest being in existence. And-"

"Are... the two of you me?"

And before the conversation could turn even weirder, Hannah 2 decided to approach the group. Her hands, not knowing whether to point at Hannah or Nannah,

"What... I thought a lot of years have passed - does... that mean I don't age much?"

"...That's what your concern is?" Hannah could really only cover her forehead, "I forgot how casual I was in the past, my god."

"And... did I just hear you say you wanted to fuck Riley? That's... fucking disgusting," Hannah

2 pointed at Nannah. And as soon as she did so, Hannah 1 stood beside her and grabbed her by

the shoulder.

"That's right, disgusting pig," Hannah smirked as she stared down at Nannah. Nannah, however, just shrugged and took this chance to actually hug Riley and kiss him on the lips.

"!!!"

"What the flying fuck!?"

"Did... did you just fucking sexually harass my brother!?"

As for Riley, the only thing he could really do there was stand as he stared at Nannah's flushed

face.

"S...so?" Nannah then leaned away, not even caring about her other versions, "Did... did you feel as good as me?"

"I'm going to save you from answering that." And before Riley could actually open his mouth, Aerith grabbed him away, "Hannah, can I talk to your brother for a bit? You can have

him all by yourself later."

"Right, yes..." Hannah nodded several times, "...I'm sorry, you guys were talking and-"

"Don't be," Aerith smiled and shook her head, "I'm the one who should be sorry for disrupting your reunion. I won't be long, I know Diana also wants to talk to Riley - but right

now she's busy talking to her younger version and... ex-husband."

"Right..." Hannah pointed at Aerith, "...You, younger me - we need to save both our

parents."

"Oh, fuck..." Hannah 2 quickly followed behind Hannah; of course, not before pulling Nannah away and making sure she was as far away from Riley as possible, "...I don't even know who you fucking are, but the fate of practically the entire reality is at stake and you're thinking of riding someone's dick? What the fuck."

And as soon as Aerith and Riley were finally once again by themselves, Aerith looked Riley in the eyes.

"I met the person called Aerith' Ross years ago," Aerith then said.

"I know," Riley nodded, "Karina told me she approached you - but we believe it was only Machina pretending to be someone from the future; traveling from the future is still completely impossible, as Death stated."

"I also saw that she controlled Ahor Zai and pretended to be Aerith'Ross."

"Yes."

"But the Aerith'Ross that talked to me and Diana is completely different from the Machina

that was pretending to be Aerith' Ross," Aerith then said while shaking her head, "I felt the

energy signature she was emitting, I also felt the energy Ahor Zai's body was emitting, they were completely different."

"Then, are you saying that our daughter from the future truly exists, Aerith?" Riley tilted his head to the side, "I would honestly say that I am getting confused. Is there any more detail I need to know to fully understand it?"

"I don't understand it myself," Aerith sighed while shaking her head, "But something she said had been bothering both Diana and I for years."

"Is it the fact that she told Karina that one of my children is Nothing?"

"No..." Aerith shook her head, "...It's still not clear whether it was Machina who said that to

Karina."

"Hm?" Riley placed his hand on his chin, visibly confused.

"It's the fact that she told me that I'm not her mother."

"But you are," Riley tilted his head to the other side.

"No," Aerith shook her head, "What I mean is that she's a mother of my variant."

"Oh...?"

"And the only variant I have left that I know of...

...is the one that's with my mother right now."
