Vacation

"Japan?" Artemis asked

"Yes, Japan. I heard their hot springs are quite the attractions" I answered

"Why don't we go to Europe first?" She asked

"Why?"

"I don't want to go there yet..."

I raised my brows in surprise "Why not?"

"I don't want you to get involved with their gods"

"Alright let's go travel around Europe first ok? We can go over to Japan later" I compromised

"mmm" She nodded happily seeing that I listened to her

I continued to look through the rest of the documents and files.

Signing my name on those that I approved and setting aside those that I didn't I continued to look through them for about 2 hours.

"Cortana, tell me, should we have a brewery?" I asked

"?" She looked at me confused

"I have several recipes that we could use" I thought out loud

"...." After doing some calculations "If we were to have the proper machines and experts, we can try"

"Alex?" Artemis asked "Why are you going to create a new branch? The company is big enough isn't it?" She sounded confused

"We will need some resources on this planet" I sighed "like titanium, gold, and uranium"

She was confused "Can't you just take them from other planets?"

"We still need a stable supply and I'd rather not have my men do the work. We're tight on resources lately" I frowned

Seeing my frown she did not ask another question and went back to get another book from my library to read.

"Alex, we can create a bunch of mining drones and robots" Cortana advised

"After we finish building a couple fleets" I thought for a while before responding "I can feel that we are not that far away from the purge, several years at most"

Cortana didn't say anything and immediately did as I asked. I gave her the recipes and she called for a meeting. The meeting went on for 4 hours before I allowed everyone to leave. It was about their proposals and the plans for the company. I also appointed 2 people to watch over the new brewery that would be built later on. The recipes were originally spiritual wine, but I substituted the ingredients for those you can find commonly and had the diluted with water, to prevent side effects like death by exploding from spiritual energies.

Only one of them succeeded to be created. The rest were failed products since the regular ingredients were not pure enough to create the same taste. Pollution had caused enormous damage to the planet and cause the plants to be corrupted by the polluted air and water. Finding the problem, I had someone create a closed greenhouse somewhere and had a couple skilled formation masters create qi gathering formations for them.

By the time I was done with everything it was about 8pm. I saw Artemis sleeping on the couch and looked at the time.

I woke her up "Time to go home" I said

She rubbed her eyes and tried to stand but collapsed from weakness

Gruummble

"Did you not eat?" I frowned

She shook her head in embarrassment

I carried her to the car and found a bag of chips and crackers the ladies had left when they went shopping and gave them to her to eat.

"Eat them first, we will be home in a while" I smiled

After 15 minutes we arrived home just in time for dinner.

"Welcome back, Alex" Calypso greeted as I carried Artemis in.

"Cal" I kissed her as soon as I put Artemis down on the couch

"You're home" Hela came down the stairs

"Hela" I hugged her

"Let's go eat" Hela pulled Artemis to the dinner table and had her sit down next to me

After dinner I told the girls that I want to spend some time with them abroad.

"Alex, me and Cal would be fine alone" Hela stated

"Yep" Calypso nodded "Go with Artemis and spend some time with her"

I looked at the two of them "You sure?"

"en" They nodded at the same time

I smiled and asked "What about Wanda?"

"We will talk to her about that, but I'm sure she's busy" Calypso grinned

"Mmhm" Hela agreed

I stared at them "Looks like you guys really want me to spend some time with Artemis"

Calypso rolled her eyes at me "She had been married to you for so long and you haven't spend much time with her"

Artemis's face became read and looked at the tv instead.

Later that night I found myself becoming a squeezed by the three girls while sleeping. Calypso and Hela were hugging onto my arms and Artemis was coerced by the two to sleep on my chest.

I let them do as they wised and we went to England the next day.

"You really had this planned out didn't you?" I asked Calypso

"Yep, I asked Cortana to get your plane ready" She grinned

I looked at Hela and she seemed to be talking to Artemis instead, helping her with her luggage and everything.

I looked at Calypso suspiciously

"What?" She smiled Innocently

I heaved a sigh and went to the airport where we boarded the plane and left.

"There are some snacks in the cabinet next to you" I told Artemis as we took off

She nodded and opened a bag of chips. She enjoyed it and I would help her wipe the oil off of her hands from time to time.

We arrived in London in an hour where an employee form a branch company waited for us.

"Sir, we have cars waiting for you outside"

"mmm" I nodded and held Artemis's hands and we walked out of the airport

"Where do you wish to go, sir?" The driver asked as we boarded the car

"The hotel first" I answered

The driver didn't speak any longer and drove towards the hotel Calypso booked.

As we were arriving, I felt someone manipulating qi. I sent my spiritual sense to investigate and found out that someone was using Arcane Magic. Like Arcane Magic or Magic, Chi, Internal Energy, sorcery, and etc. are a branch of qi. They follow the same rules of qi where one would be able to utilize the surrounding area for energy and power but they would have their own limitation.

'Interesting, looks like we have wizards here on earth' I thought to myself
