Once the food was served, Raven didn't hesitate, immediately picking up his knife and fork to cut a piece of exquisite steak and put it in his mouth.
Saeko, sitting beside him, meticulously poured him a glass of red wine. Her fair, graceful arm purposely brushed against Raven's, sparking endless fantasies. However, Raven was focused entirely on the delicious food at the moment.
Not long after, following a conversation and some compromise, Hanagata officially announced his return to the Smart Brain Group. Murakami would remain the current President of Smart Brain, while Hanagata would be responsible for the development and research of the Drivers.
To this end, Raven specifically left his first-generation Amazon Driver, hoping Hanagata could upgrade it to unleash greater power without compromising the wearer's consciousness.
He also temporarily entrusted the Psyga and Orga Drivers to Hanagata, allowing him to analyze some data to develop upgrades. After all, Raven's favorite aspect of the three Faiz series Drivers was the Crimson Smash, and it was a shame that the Psyga and Orga lacked this ability.
Leaving the Smart Brain building, it was already late. Saeko intimately looped her arm through Raven's, and as they were about to part, she asked, "What should I call you now? King… or Master?"
"Both sound a bit odd," Raven mused, rubbing his chin. Saeko had completely submitted to him now, so calling him 'Master' seemed appropriate. Raven leaned close to her ear and said in a charmingly wicked tone, "Call me Master."
"Then, Master, it's not too late. Would you like to come back to my place?" Saeko's heart leaped with joy at Raven's casual touch.
"Sure, why not." Raven thought for a moment and suddenly decided.
And so, Raven got into Saeko's blue sports car. Never having driven a sports car before, he took the initiative to try it out, switching places to the driver's seat.
As he drove the car excitedly down the road, he suddenly felt a tightening sensation below. A delicate hand had reached over at some point.
"What are you doing…" Raven looked back at her.
Saeko gave him a seductive smile.
"You're not actually thinking of…" Raven realized what Saeko intended to do and was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Master, you need to focus on the road, you know."
"…"
They arrived at Saeko's luxurious apartment without incident. The two got out in the underground garage. Saeko pulled out a tissue and dabbed her mouth, a look of lingering pleasure on her face. Raven, meanwhile, wore an expression difficult to describe.
He was thankful for his extreme focus, which kept them safe the whole way. If it were an ordinary person attempting such a risky antic, several lives wouldn't be enough.
"Is that really your first time? You seemed so practiced." Raven asked Saeko as they walked.
"Master, you should know that I can't lie to you…" Saeko replied earnestly.
Her words were true; he could indeed tell if she was lying. It was just shocking that Saeko, despite being so seductive and playing such elaborate games, was only experienced in theory.
She really is gifted, Raven quietly marveled.
Soon, the two entered the apartment. The decor was very high-end, the space was large, and it even had two floors. The location was right in the bustling heart of central Tokyo. Clearly, Saeko was a bona fide rich woman, holding a significant number of shares in Smart Brain.
"Master, are you sure you don't want to shower with me?" Saeko began taking off her clothes as soon as she entered, intending to take a bath first. She extended the invitation to Raven, who was looking around.
"Uh, I just came to sit for a while," Raven's eyes were immediately drawn to the sight before him, but he still spoke with a straight face. He felt a little guilty when he said it, though, considering he hadn't resisted at all in the car.
"Then I'll go bathe first, okay?" Saeko smiled enchantingly at Raven, swaying her hips as she walked into the bathroom.
Splash…
About ten minutes later, Saeko walked out of the bathroom. A beautiful picture of a maiden emerging from a bath presented itself to Raven. Having washed away the heavy makeup, Saeko's delicate features were clearly revealed. Coupled with her snake-like thin waist and ample figure, Raven felt a distinct flutter in his heart. This was the difference between a mature woman and a young girl. Raven felt he really might not be able to resist.
Seeing Raven still sitting motionless, Saeko decided to pull out her secret weapon. She swayed her hips as she entered the bedroom and retrieved a set of sexy lingerie and stockings. Finally, wearing them, she returned to Raven's sight. She also took out her treasured bottle of champagne, intending to enjoy it with Raven.
This time, Raven finally acted. Without a word, he walked over and scooped Saeko up in his arms, carrying her into the bedroom.
Beep beep…
Beep beep…
Unbeknownst to them, it was late into the night. Raven's phone on the living room table vibrated several times. It was Yuka calling from the other side, alone in the café. But there was no answer.
"Yuka, you should go to sleep. Raven-san probably has something to do and won't be back tonight," Saya said to Yuka, seeing the light still on in the master bedroom.
"Raven-san promised he would come back tonight…" Yuka sounded disappointed. Her dependence on Raven was beyond imagination. She felt insecure if she didn't sleep beside him. At this moment, she was completely unable to sleep.
The next day, around noon.
It wasn't until the sun shone onto his face through the gaps in the blinds that Raven slowly woke up on the soft, large bed.
Hoo…
Just thinking about the previous night's wildness made him feel slightly incredulous. It had been truly intense. It was even more physically exhausting than a real fight.
