Chapter 49: Military Academy
Several weeks had passed since Dapper’s wedding with Belinda, and his experience had been nothing short of bliss. Belinda turned out to be an even more doting wife than Ruth. The two of them had been fiercely competing to prove who was the better wife. It even reached a point where they started cooking separately, forcing Dapper to eat both their meals. He nearly lost his shape, but thanks to regular workouts, he maintained it and eventually convinced them to create a cooking schedule instead of going solo.
Today was the day, the day he would be screened at the military academy.
"Will you stop rubbing my dick, Belinda?" Dapper said as he glanced down at her hand tracing the outline of his shaft through his pants.
"Mmm... I’m going to miss you," Belinda murmured in a sultry tone, her face buried in his chest.
"I’ll only be gone for a few days. Once everything’s sorted at the academy, I’ll be a day student," Dapper said, caressing her tits through her dress in return.
Right now, they were en route to the military academy with Fred behind the wheel. Ruth wasn’t with them, she had an urgent matter to handle at the warehouse.
’Madame’s sister and her husband are perverts. Flirting so shamelessly in front of me. I hope they don’t infect my boss with this shamelessness. I need to tell them to get them a new chauffeur. My fragile mind can’t take this,’ Fred thought, swallowing hard and struggling not to peek into the rearview mirror.
"By the way, thanks for handling the new business. It must’ve been a lot for you," Dapper suddenly said, making Belinda sit up straight.
"Ugh, what are you even saying, honey? You came up with all these business ideas and put me in charge of your assets. All our investments—even my sister’s—have tripled in just a few weeks! Honestly, I don’t give a jerk shit about the military, even though I’ve got a combat-type system. I’ve always wanted to run a business like my sister. And now, thanks to you, I can do it even better than people with actual business systems!" Belinda exclaimed, shooting Dapper a look like he had lost his mind for even thanking her.
Dapper gave a small nod at her words. What he did had been pretty simple. He pushed them into cosmetics. In this world, the cosmetic industry was overlooked—nobody paid much attention to it. But with knowledge from his past life, he hired specialists to craft unique products and paid models to advertise them. It was a simple yet effective plan. Their first batch sold out within minutes, and crowds began forming to buy more. The Freeman name quickly rose in fame and spread across Haegia.
The business expanded to all Freeman family stores across the Empire. Now, they were basically the Kardashians of the Haegia Empire—with Ruth, Belinda, and a few others as the brand’s faces. Dapper simply pulled the strings from the shadows.
"My lord, we’ve arrived at the military academy," Fred announced as he slowly parked the car. In front of them was a massive territory surrounded by tall fences Dapper couldn’t see beyond. The entrance was a large, heavily guarded gate, and outside it stood several people, most of them around his age or slightly older.
