Capítulo 12: A Late Night Visit
Once he made his purchase, he traveled to another showroom and returned with an expensive "daily" car. A white Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Arriving at his hotel, he was startled by a call from his phone. Checking the caller ID, he saw that it was from his girlfriend, Jane.
"What is it, sweetheart?"
The phone went quiet. Jane must have been taken aback to hear Kaiser call her love for the very first time.
"Ahem... Nothing Hon- K-Kai. I just saw the news. Your face is on full display!"
Kaiser wasn't shocked by this development since he knew Tony always had paparazzi and the media on his tail.
"How was your boyfriend on the TV?" The teasing Kaiser said.
"All the vultures... *Ahem* I- I mean, my friends are calling me to know about you. I didn't want to bother you, sooo I said you are busy..."
"Oh, gotta go! Bye. Love you~" Jane was too embarrassed to continue the conversation.
(•ˋ _ ˊ•)… Kaiser was taken aback by Jane's passiveness, going so far as to refer to her friends as "Vultures."
He then turned on the TV and watched what had transpired in the showroom.
"It would seem that Tony was speechless for a time,"
Tony remained frozen for some time after Kaiser had departed.
Soon he got bored, so he put his remote down and got out his book. This time, though, he made sure Esther's bowl was brimming with her favorite food.
◈ ━ ◆ ━ ◈
After another hour of sleep, Kaiser woke up to a new day. It was so addicting learning magic, turning dirt into gold!
{Good Morning Host! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ }
'Morning Dian,' Kaiser greeted as he prepared to begin his routine with a back stretch.
{Should I use the Gacha as usual?}
"Yes," Kaiser said, receiving the $40,000 he had expected.
Kaiser didn't care much about Weekly Gacha since he didn't have any pressing needs. To that end, he was a touch giddy about using Yearly Gatch so close to the end of the year, which was just a few days away, in the system's estimation.
This is how it works. At the beginning of each year, you may choose whether you want Daily gachas, Weekly gachas, or one Yearly gacha.
You also can't fool the system by moving to a different time zone, such as Asia. Since he spent most of his time in the United States, the system will use their time zone default.
Kaiser opened the book on programming, mostly about hacking, and *yawn* he couldn't help it.
Kaiser saw the value of hacking, particularly in a place like Marvel, where the setting is futuristic.
"[Thought Acceleration], [Memory Separation]" Kaiser cast two spells on himself and immediately began reading.
Another whole day went by. Kaiser stayed inside his home and read for the whole duration of the day. If he hadn't begun playing with adorable Esther, I'm sure he would have thrown a meltdown by now.
"You are growing very fast!" Said Kaiser to the purring cat in his lap. Esther's very rapid development has caused her to grow to double her size.
"If you become too large, I'll have to look for a new home for you." The Kaiser pondered, "Maybe the forest."
After a moment of silence, Esther let out a hiss of wrath. Her hands and tail snatched Kaiser's hand, coiled possessively around it.
Kaiser is her forever home, and she has no intention of leaving.
Kaiser laughed, kissed the top of her head affectionately, and said, "Very well, Princess. Still, you and I would have to figure out a means for you to regulate your size."
Esther's eyes were a bright blue with a tinge of crimson. Kaiser was taken aback by how intently she stared at him.
When Kaiser saw that her eyes had taken on his, crimson hue, he said, "Your eyes are slowly becoming red like mine."
*Knock* *Knock*
Unprepared for a visitor so late at night, Kaiser wondered who might have possibly knocked on his door.
All his books and magecraft vanished with a wave of his palm, leaving behind just the faint scent of lilac from the potions he was concocting. Both the vanilla and lilac flavors and aromas are favorites of his. Call him gay, he will take your mom and your girl!
"Hello Mr. Gilgamesh. I apologize for the late visit."
Upon opening the door, a beautiful woman with ginger red hair, cute freckles on her nose, and juicy cherry lips was revealed.
Virginia Potts, or Pepper Potts as Kaiser knew her, was standing there in the flesh.
Kaiser said, "Hello, Ms. Potts, please come in," while secretly grinning evilly to himself.
They sat down, and Kaser brought over a file for her to go at.
This causes Virginia Potts a great deal of anxiety. After leaving the modelling industry for new challenges, she took a job as a financial counsellor at Stark Industries, but she has lately been silenced by pressure from the company's upper management. She had attempted to alert Tony, but that idiot wouldn't budge.
An anxious Virginia inquired, "Can you tell me about your firm, Mr. Gilgamesh?"
She has no idea what possessed her to come into this room with complete strangers, but here she is.
"Open it," Kaiser commanded.
Virginia's mind almost blew up as she saw the file for the first time. She got up from the chair clumsily and uttered, "A-aare... Is this true?"
What she had just read were a medical breakthrough and a revolutionary new technology.
"Why don't you take a seat, Ms. Potts."
When Potts sat down and apologized, Kaiser said, "What you have read is totally accurate. Well, Ms. Potts, I have heard a lot about you. I had my assistant give you a call because of your brilliant mind and strong personality."
As a financial counselor, Potts had been working in Stark for some time and gave the idea some serious consideration. She had developed deep feelings for Tony, whom she respected and loved, but after perusing the file, she made up her mind.
If and when the FDA gives their approval, helping her mother, who was dying of cancer, would be her first priority. If it means her mother will be the first in line to get the therapy when it becomes available, she is willing to give up anything.
Potts responded, "Please give me some time," indicating that her thoughts were still in disarray.
It seemed like a betrayal to leave Tony and the firm she'd helped build. But despite their relationship, Tony had never shown any romantic interest in her. Naturally, therefore, protecting her mother should be her first priority. But gosh, she is in love with that jerk!
"Since I have great hopes for you, I'll give you a month. The treatment will be widely publicized starting next week, so don't forget that demand will outstrip supply."
Potts understood what Kaiser was saying, he is prepared to wait for it, but there will be consequences. It was a brutal move since he was the Director, meaning he could do anything he wanted, but she knew it was all business.
"You may keep that document. You don't need me to remind you that you agreed to maintain confidentiality."
Potts gave a blank nod and gently tucked the file away in her bag.

A/N: Muahaha… (^ .‿. ^). Crazy Penguin here. So, what do you think about Potts?
Comment on the choice ⤵
[Primary Harem?]
[Secondary Harem?]
[Or last, Maid/Slave harem?]
You might change my mind from what I initially planned. If you don't know what they mean here.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-
There will be three kinds of Harem: Primary Harem/Wives, where members will have the most influence in the story and appear a lot.
The second kind is Secondary Harem/Concubines. People who have very little influence in the story, but they won't be like robots or trophy wives with no personality. They will at least influence MC in some way and have their own goals.
The third kind is Tertiary Harem. It is reserved for people who are either slaves of MC or his maids. They will have the least exposure out of all harem members and are mostly just there to either satisfy MC's lust or as a trophy. Slaves/Maids/Trophies.
