Chapter 85: Death Temptation

Benjamin looked at Death cautiously.

“Uhh, I think there’s something wrong with my ear. Can you repeat that again?”

“You heard it right. I said fuck me in front of him.”

Death said quite frankly with a teasing smile on her face.

At that moment, Benjamin felt a shiver down his spine…yet also a hint of arousal.

It was a weird feeling of fear and excitement mixed together.

Benjamin used all his willpower to calm down and chuckled dryly.

“Ha…haha…you sure know how to joke, Death.”

“I’m not joking thought?”

“...Seriously?”

Benjamin looked at Death in her eyes but well, he was still unable to get a read on Death.

Don’t even think about using his telepathic powers to read her mind. There’s no way he can come out alive from that.

Was she really serious?

To say that Benjamin wasn’t tempted would be a lie.

Not to mention getting to sleep with a beautiful woman who was also one of the oldest and most powerful existence in the universe, there was also the side quest from the System.

The System had said that sleeping with Death was worth 100 Harem Points.

There’s also that Court Death quest with a +1 Life Token and Necrosword reward.

No wait, that quest said that I needed to conquer her heart.

Sleeping wither her…shouldn’t necessarily count as conquering her heart, right?

Benjamin hesitated.

Death noticed his expression and was confused.

“What? Is the idea of sleeping with me really that bad?”

Benjamin quickly shook his head and said.

“It’s not that! It’s just…it doesn’t seem right to do it like this. I’d rather not have Thanos with an audience. Even if it’s for his punishment.”

Death was surprised.

With how many beings courting her in the past, she would think that given the chance, any one of them would immediately jump on the opportunity and push her down when she asked for it.

Yet Benjamin was still considering things like this.

Was it a difference in culture?

No…Death had spent a considerable amount of time on the internet after all. It isn’t that far off from the culture of other planets out there.

In fact, the culture of Earth can be said to be even more chaotic than most civilizations.

Death was convinced of that after seeing the weird things in tiktok.

Death chuckled. She only felt more and more interested in eventually conquering Benjamin.

“Well, I suppose you are right. It might not even be a punishment for him and would just turn into a show.”

She turned around and walked a few steps before stopping and turning her head sideways.

“Since you said it like that, I will look forward to when you push me down then~”

“Ah?”

Benjamin was confused for a while.

Only after she was gone did he understand.

All this time, he would always evade her teasing since he was afraid that sleeping with Death would…well, actually cause his death.

By saying what he said earlier. He had basically said he would push her down one day. Just not right now…

“...I walked right into that one, huh?”

Benjamin sighed and shook his head.

He looked at Thanos one last time then left as well.

Back on Earth, Benjamin began handling various things.

First, he informed his idea of an Intergalactic division of the EPD to Captain Holt and Major Johnson.

They didn’t bother to even think about it and just approved it.

At this moment, Captain Holt spoke up.

“By the way, there’s a matter we need to discuss urgently concerning you.”

“Hm? What’s wrong? Is some government official up to no good again?”

Benjamin frowned when he saw Captain Holt’s grave expression.

He had Vision constantly monitor those guys in case they were planning something on the EPD but so far there wasn’t anything.

Captain Holt shook his head.

“It’s not that. It’s about your rank.”

“Huh? What about it?”

“The people are confused as to how to address you. Are you still a Captain? Or the Director of EPD? Chairman? With how the EPD is growing, what exactly is your position now?”

“Uhh…”

Benjamin was a bit speechless.

He had never bothered with his title or rank after all.

He didn’t really care either way so he just shrugged.

“I’ll leave that up to you guys. I don’t care anyway.”

“Should we just make him the President of the United States?”

Major Johnson suggested.

“...Please no.”

Benjamin was speechless.

He didn’t care about his rank but anything but that!

Captain Holt suggested.

“How about we make him King Freed?”

“Ooh, we can do Emperor Freed too.”

Benjamin was speechless again.

Are we a monarchy now!?

Benjamin then recalled how he has an Infinity Crown and can’t help but shiver.

They…aren’t really going to turn him into a King or Emperor…right?

Seeing the two of them start discussing excitedly, Benjamin shook his head.

“Anyway, I still have stuff to do so…just don’t use President, King, or Emperor!”

“Yes, Lord Freed!”

Major Johnson bowed exaggeratedly.

“Not that too!”

Benjamin rolled his eyes and left, leaving the two alone to discuss.

The two looked at each other and chuckled.

Suddenly, Captain Holt’s face turned stoic again.

“But seriously, what should we do about his position?”

“Hmm…how about we just do an internal poll in the EPD?”

“That’s a good idea. I’ll have Peralta be in charge of it.”

Hearing that, Major Johnson felt uneasy.

Is it…really a good idea to have that guy in charge of this?

At this moment, Benjamin had left Earth again and portal-ed to Xandar to see Queen Adora.

Seeing Benjamin again, Adora sighed in relief.

“It’s good to see that you are safe. I was worried when you said Thanos would be coming after your world.”

Benjamin smiled.

“Don’t worry, Thanos has been dealt with.”

“That’s good.”

Adora nodded.

“Rather than that, regarding what we talked about before…”

“Alright, let’s discuss it in my room.”

“Uhh, is that necessary?”

“Yes.”

“...”

Benjamin fell silent for a while but still followed her to her room.

Needless to say, their discussion only happened after several hours of tumbling on the bed.

Their discussion was primarily about forming an intergalactic alliance with Earth.

After some talks, Adora proposed to call a few more civilizations and schedule a proper conference with all parties involved at a later date.

Benjamin then returned back to Earth and returned to his daily routine.

Just like that, a few days had passed.

Regarding the war with Thanos, the people of Earth didn’t know that it even happened. Only a select few people knew of the matters that happened due to their connections and such.

One of which was a certain Norman Osborn.

He stood in his office as he looked out of the window, displaying the busy New York underneath him while holding onto a wine glass.

A secretary stood at the side with her head down nervously after she finished her report.

Norman gritted his teeth and tossed the wineglass on his hand, smashing it onto the wall beside the secretary.

“EPD…Stark…Reed…just because these people have their so-called heroes, they were able to get a priority on alien technology! What the hell are the people in the research department doing!? Where is the super serum that they promised me!?”

“S-sir, it can’t be helped. Richard Parker was the lead scientist in the research department. After he died, no one was able to understand most of his notes. And the spider that he developed had also gone missing…”

“Don’t give me that excuse! Bring me Octavious!”

“R-right away!”

The secretary quickly left.

Norman huffed and sat back down on his chair.

As he was calming down, he noticed that a painting on the wall on his left was tilted slightly.

His face paled and quickly stood up.

He pulled on the painting like a door and it revealed a safe behind it.

Norman quickly dialed the password, pressed his finger on the fingerprint scanner, and even aligned his eye on the iris scanner.

After a series of unlocking, only then did the safe open up.

As soon as Norman saw the inside, his anger reached its peak as he started screaming and tossing everything in his line of sight.

The safe was…empty.

Meanwhile. Freedom Building.

This was the company that Benjamin and Felicia had started in the past to sell the VR gaming pods [FreeDome] to the masses.

Benjamin doesn’t really visit the place often and it is mostly Felicia who handles it as the CEO.

Today was one of the days that he did visit as he wanted to check in on Felicia and the company.

Previously, he had assigned a job for the Thieves Guild through Felicia.

Well, not just one job but a series of jobs actually.

It was to infiltrate some of the biggest and most corrupt companies in New York.

One of which was Oscorp.

Felicia had called earlier saying that the job was done so he came to check in with her.

Benjamin knocked on Felicia’s office as he arrived.

“Come in.”

“Seems like you’re settling in well, Black Cat.”

Felicia shrugged.

“I guess the corporate life suits me.”

“It sure does.”

Benjamin nodded as he looked at her in her business outfit.

She wore a red shirt with three buttons at the top unbuttoned and a black pencil skirt along with black stockings and red heels.

Felicia smiled.

“Like what you see?”

“Yep. Although I’m not sure it’s healthy to show that much cleavage to your employees.”

Felicia chuckled.

“I only unbuttoned a few more since I knew you were coming.”

“Is that so?”

And then…Benjamin delayed their discussion again for a few hours.
