38 Corrup (2/2)

Dad was still looking at his phone as he answered ”Nah I'm gonna be working pretty late”

”Argh but then again I'm sure I should be done by six argh I mean five p.m,” Said Dad after getting his a surprise jab to his side from Mom.

”Well let's invite your friend and Mary. Let's have a feast” Said Mom with a calm smile.

'Oh fuck no, '

”Ah that reminds me, Mary doesn't live nearby it's gonna be a real hassle to travel here. She won't have a car and lives in Queens,” I said tragically

Mom being as quick as she is replied ”That's fine you can pay for V.T taxi, we'll even chip in and everyone could even stay the night”

(Note: If you have forgotten V.T Aka Velocity Transport is basically an underground form of transport with the use of cars instead of trains)

'I really don't like where this going forget I'll just ask instead'

”Mom nothing happened she was just testing me as she has had an employee take advantage of her in the past. So you don't need to worry she's not trying to poach your precious child” I said seriously

Mom had a confused look on her face as she said ”Huh? I'm not worried I just want to see if you two are compatible”

Now I was confused as I gave startled ”What?!”

”Well I've been watching your stream and I think it's about time you start looking for some potential wives,” Said Mom

”Wait, wives as in more than one isn't that illegal,” I said rightfully so

”This why I said for you to watch the news” Said Mom

'Yeah no, it's all fear-mongering shit. Ignorance is my blanket and I'm completely fine with it.

”It was like a few months ago where it was discovered that polygamy was secretly made legal back in 2014 so that some wealthy companies can do some confidential investments into the country,” Said Mom

My brain went blank after hearing this news. Being the simple man I am, I began to think back to all my fantasy reading harem manga's and novels. A disturbing smirk appeared on my face.

”Theo, get you head out of the clouds and listen. Since its discovery, three additional bylaws were created declaring that if any party is forced into the relationship or if the current partner does not consent to the additional member and if the relationship is not based on love then the marriage of an additional partner will not be considered legally binding and would face receiving a fine and investigation. There's even a separate department that is based on reviewing the relationships for polygamy” Said Mom

”Wait, for a law to be made shouldn't it have gone through like a review stage then a public briefing, a voting stage and then the president signs. How did they keep it a secret,” I said clearly still confused

”It did indeed go through the official processes. The public briefing is something decided by the committee it can still go through without public knowledge. It's was reported that everyone involved was paid hush money and slowly stepped down from their position over the years after. It's seen as one of 21st century's greatest political scandal” Said Mom

'Holy Shit this worlds governments are just as corrupt if not more corrupted then my original world'

”Okay but why should I jump on the polygamy ship,” I said

”Huh? No, I'm only saying that I support the idea of you having multiple wives. If you decide to just go for one then it's fine as well. I just want you to be happy” Said Mom sincerely

I gave a sigh of relief and said ”Thanks mom but as it stands I'm still not ready for a relationship. I'm very happy right now mom”

”Okay well still invite Mary I still want to meet the woman who is going to be helping you make a lot of money,” Said Mom

”You want to meet her no matter what huh? Fine, I'll invite her over and pay for a V.T taxi” I said before texting Mary if she's free today and sending an invite.

I asked if she needed transport and she replied simply with a no and that she'll be here at 4 P.M.

I then showed Mom the text and said ”There she's gonna be here. Now go you guys still have got to work. Bye Bye”

After they left I gave myself a facepalm while asking ”How the hell did I not hear about that. It doesn't matter I need to go wake Rose up”
