After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 159

G Tourist City, 18 months ago

"Wow, she really did it! Auntie is amazing." Althea exclaimed as her emerald eyes watched the news aptly. She had been worried for a whole day. Fortunately, the news coverage was real-time so they didn’t have to suffer too much.

[Eden country has officially received majority development rights of the Yuckan Valley. Forming a partnership with Yuta Country, they will begin sustainable extraction within the year.]

[The Yuckan Valley is one of the few valleys with a biodiversity index of Moderate—now very rare in our contemporary world.]

[Eden country will now be safeguarding this place, and our Scientists will be at the forefront of sustainable research in the area.]

It could be said that the mission to Yuta country was a resounding success.

"Not just her, Gill as well." Her husband’s low velvety voice sounded beside her as his warm hand wrapped around her clothed stomach.

She turned to look at him curiously, soft hand on his chest. "You can tell me now, right?" After seeing him not worried at all about the deal, she had a feeling this guy knew a lot! It was probably top-secret before, but maybe she could hear about it now.

Oh, how curious.

Garan looked dotingly at his wife who had sparkling eyes. His naughty hand caressed her curvaceous waist.

Since she was no longer worried, perhaps they could finally be lovey-dovey again? "It depends." He said, teasingly. "I’ve been suffering for a whole day, you know…".

Without further ado, she abruptly sat on him and wrapped her arms around him, meeting his lips. His eyes widened a little and he sat still as she parted from him and placed many pecks on his face, his nose, and his lips. Over and over.

"Husband… husband~ Please tell me?" She asked coquettishly, resuming her pecks.

This adorableness, combined with the feeling of her softness, made him snap like a mouse trap.

…

Althea only got the answer to her questions several hours later.

Apparently, the deal wasn’t meant to be so one-sided. However, about a year ago, an insurgent group rose up and caused chaos around the whole Yuta country. The military couldn’t defeat these scum.

A special ops team—led by Gill—went to Yuta country to fix this internal conflict. It wasn’t that the mission wasn’t dangerous but they managed to get information about the group about the insurgent group’s internal workings.

And this was, amusingly, all due to the online activity of the leader’s son.

"What makes it more interesting is that the leader of the insurgents was an illegitimate child of their monarch."

Althea chuckled a bit. Not only was the younger generation the accidental source of a detrimental leak, but the insurgent leader himself believed the throne should’ve been his by virtue of his being the eldest (Illegitimate) son.

Althea rested her head on her husband’s wide shoulder, a little amused. "What a drama…"

"Tsk tsk. That’s why you should always hire on merit." She mumbled, "Otherwise who knew what they’d do accidentally."

Garan nodded, just staring at his beautiful wife lounging on him.
