Chapter 195: What is the Deal?
"And you people weren't merely unconscious. You straight up vanished from the face of this planet."
Kara's words rang through his mind on repeat like a broken cassette tape stuck on a cheesy 80s love song.
Kaisen had never even considered the possibility of being transported to another world. It sounded about as likely as finding a unicorn at a fast-food drive-thru.
Even with all the technological advancements of this world, there wasn't even an observable galaxy with life on it, let alone the means to travel such great distances.
But here Kara was, claiming that he and 800 million other people were whisked away to another world with what? A freaking VR headset? How the hell was that even possible?
A VR headset, seriously? It wasn't like this thing was some kind of magical Narnia wardrobe...unless...
"That headset is not from this world," he murmured, turning to look at the small device he had tossed away in frustration. There it lay, stubbornly unbroken, not even a scratch marring its plain white surface.
That little unassuming headset had the capability of transporting nearly a billion people to another world. It was the kind of mind-bending sorcery he expected from a fantasy game, not real life.
"That's the best conclusion we have," Kara explained, trying to bring Kaisen up to speed without sending him into a complete meltdown.
"Shortly after you people were transported, the Authority raided the game developer's headquarters, only to find nothing. No people, no robots or synths, not even a single piece of paper to point them in any direction, let alone a computer or a camera with some data on it."
Kaisen's mind whirled, trying to make sense of the new reality he had been thrust into. Kara's voice was the only anchor he had to keep him from spinning out of control, and the last thing she wanted was for him to freak out and accidentally blow Kayden's plans to smithereens.
"At least, that's what the Authority is telling us right now. How much we can trust them? Well, that's another kettle of fish. Kayden has been conducting his own personal investigation since he doesn't trust anyone in the Authority at all. Typical of him."
Kara swiped her forehead with her index finger, wiping away a bead of sweat. Kaisen looked up and took a deep breath, trying to calm the tempest brewing inside him.
Panicking would do him no good now. He couldn't go back to the game world, and straying from his brother would be a foolish move.
After all, with half the world population wanting him dead, he needed all the help he could get.
'That stupid fuck! Dragging me into a mess I don't even want. Fucking hell!'
Kaisen cursed internally, kicking a rock. It bounced a little before plummeting off the cliff, vanishing into the abyss below. Kara watched with a bemused smile, strolling toward him.
"I know you hate your brother, but right now, sticking with him is your best option. You know that, right? They're out for his blood, and if they get their hands on you—you, who looks exactly like your brother but with a better and hotter body—of course they're going to mess you up real good."
She placed a hand on his chest, her siren allure creeping back into her demeanor. The small smile widened, playfulness sparkled in her eyes, and her hand began to rub his chest slowly, up and down.
"Just talk to him, at least. Then you can decide for yourself. If you don't like it, you're free to go. I'm sure your brother at least has the heart to get you to safety."
Her hand traveled downward with each word, tempting him more and more. But even without her seductive touch, Kaisen felt compelled to see Kayden.
First, he had to figure out what kind of fucked-up shit Kayden had cooked up. What was the scale of the damage? Could he even escape if he wanted to? Well, he was sure that Kayden needed something from him.
There was no way he'd waste firepower like Kara on something like brotherly love or some other bullshit.
Second of all, even though Kayden was a total asshole, he was still the only family Kaisen had in this world.
"Fucking hell! This is a mess," he muttered.
"Come on, don't think too much."
Kara's seductive voice slithered back in. Her fingers slid down until they grabbed his flaccid cock through his pants. He had gone soft after all the frustration, but now that she had a grip on him, his cock began to twitch and grow until it was fully erect.
Kaisen groaned slightly as she began stroking his cock through his pants. Kara smirked, feeling the girth of his cock in her hand.
"Wh-what was it that you wanted from me again?"
Kaisen asked, feeling her soft and hot hand warming his cock.
He was definitely going to meet his brother now. After all, Kara had promised she would compensate him even if he rejected Kayden's offer, right?
Could he believe her? Who knew, but she seemed like the type who kept her word.
"Oh, honey? You have to accept Kayden's offer for that. When you do, I'll lay out my conditions, and if you fulfill them, I'll give you something you'll never forget in your entire life. But don't worry, even if you reject his offer, I'll compensate you for your time."
She leaned in and kissed his cheek, her lips lingering just enough to leave a faint lipstick mark.
"You're really testing me, aren't you? Fine, I'll hear him out. But if I don't like what I'm hearing, then I'm out of here. You're not gonna stop me."
Kaisen reached out and grabbed a handful of her ass cheeks that had been practically screaming to be grabbed the moment his eyes laid on them. The tight leather pants hugged her ass perfectly, and Kaisen could feel every glorious curve under his palms.
She wasn't even wearing any panties or anything inside the suit, like a secret agent always ready for action at a moment's notice.
Kara giggled at his shamelessness. "I'll make sure you'll like his conditions, and if not, I'll compensate you and drop you wherever you want to go. Deal?"
Kaisen squeezed her butt cheeks and smirked. "Deal. But what will I get if I don't accept his conditions?"
