Can I really keep my Goddess Wife to myself and away from all the Crazy OP MCs - 68 Chapter 67.

(POV Director)

“Father, you’re a stinky cheating liar!”

This was already over the hundredth time I had heard this complaint. No matter what I did to try and soothe her it was all ineffective.

Although I was helpless right now, I was not without a plan. I had already thought of how to soothe her rage and I was merely stalling until the time was right.

“My daughter, there are things in life that aren’t fair. There is inequality everywhere. You can only blame yourself if you are deceived or are ignorant.”

“I’m telling mommy.”

She looked like she wanted to cry. She really was too cute.

“Such a shame, if you go tell mommy, it looks like you will miss out on the boss fight.”

“Boss fight?”

“Yes, my daughter. Do you remember that show you saw before that you really liked?”

“Show? Which one?”

“The one with all the robots.”

“You mean that one?!”

“Yes, that one. Your favorite character, we made him a reality. But if you go off to tell your mommy, you may miss the show where the new prisoners fight for their life against the final boss. Go ahead little daughter, tell on me if you must, but you will never be able to witness such a scene again.”

“Uuuuu.”

My daughter bit her lip with watery eyes filled with anxiety, I could really see the internal struggle she faced. Thank god I made that stupid robot she liked so much.

“Go on, hurry up and tell mommy while I enjoy the show alone.”

“What? Wait! I never said I was really going to tell her.”

“No no my daughter, you must go and tell your mother. Your corrupt father must be exposed. You cannot be a child who is bribed so easily.”

“I’m not being bribed, I just changed my mind is all.”

I gently pushed her from behind towards the exit of the room.

“Go on, you must be decisive and tell on me.”

“I won’t tell on you, I promise! So let me see them fight Minimus Prime.”

“As much as it pains my heart my daughter, you cannot go back on your words. After all, I am just a stinky, cheating, and lying father.”

“What are you talking about daddy, you are the most magnificent daddy in the world. There is no one who could surpass you, daddy. Daddy is the bestest daddy in existence.”

Oh she’s learning flattery, not bad.

“Papa. Please?”

She said that with upturned eyes and a shy blushing expression on her face while she fidgeted with her light pink dress.

“What can I do if my little daughter is going to be so adorable. Come, let’s watch together then.”

I lifted her up, plopped her down on my lap and hugged her from behind as we stared eagerly at the monitor in front of us.

By now, everything was over already. I had a team record and film everything through hidden cameras installed in the room. I even got them to edit it all and make it look as good as possible, all for this little daughter of mine.

My daughter had played a bit of a game with the prisoners when they went into the maze and thanks to a certain idiot I was dumped into hot water for playing dirty.

I figured I would get a bit of payback on that stupid group of prisoners by having them suffer a bit of torment to entertain my daughter.

I opened up the file I was sent and pressed the play button. Naturally I didn’t let my daughter know this was not live footage, or that it was all recorded and already edited.

Though what played out next before our eyes was utter shamelessness.

It started out fine with one man confronting Minimus Prime, but things quickly went down hill.

Minimus Prime was surrounded on all sides and the little ants kept fluttering about around him and taking pint shots here and there.

“Minimus Prime, fight! You can’t lose! Go Minimus Prime. Shoot your laser gun! Why? Why can’t you hit them?”

“Papa! Save Minimus Prime! He’s going to lose at this rate!”

My daughter was sniffling and her eyes were slightly red.

Ugh. How would I know such shameless freaks would exist? I heard they were strong from the reports, but I thought it was just an exaggeration.

Not even the strongest person in our world stood a chance against Minimus Prime’s weapons.

He’s a freaking robot after all. How can a human actually be faster or stronger than a robot like him?

“Father! Minimus Prime is about to detonate ‘The Plugspark!’”

“He’s going to die!”

She was naturally bawling now. What was supposed to be a crushing victory and payback turned into me slapping myself in the face.

I want to cry more than you, you know.

Do you have any idea how much money was spent on that useless thing? That stupid thing wants to detonate? Are you kidding me?!

My eyes were definitely redder than my daughter’s.

Everyone, who realized he intended to take them all with him and detonate backed off to the wall opposite to Minimus Prime.

Ugh.

Am I also going to have to pay for reparation fees for the stupid dungeons final boss room?

Why did I listen to my daughter and build that stupid place anyways? Literally, the only time it is used is when guiding prisoners towards the real prison area.

While I was contemplating and remorseful over my life decisions, one man who was backed up against the wall since the beginning confidently strut his way to the center of the room.

Oh? Is he welcoming his death?

Right when it looked like Minimus Prime was about to detonate, the man waved his hand casually and turned back around. A huge lightning bolt descended right after he turned away from Minimus Prime.

You damn poser! Did the crew filming from behind the scenes decide it was getting too dangerous and do something about the idiotic exploding robot?

He didn’t bother to look back and merely walked back into the crowd like everything was under his control.

Under your control?! You got lucky! You expect me to believe that was you that brought down lightning? It must have been CG or some stunt the filming crew pulled.

Fake and gay! Only kids would buy into that garbage.

After that, the footage cut out and there was a “To be continued…” message towards the center of the screen.

Are you mocking me? There’s going to be a sequel? No thank you! I’ll make sure that will never happens.

It was only now I realized my daughter’s sniffling had stopped.

When I looked over to her I felt like I ate a fly.

Her eyes were sparkling like never before.

“Papa, who was that man? He’s so cool! He’s like one of those characters straight out of a novel who steps out at the last moment and saves the day.”

“…”

I naturally didn’t want to answer her. How can I stand her idolizing another man?

“Papa? Papa?! Daddy?!”

She kept jumping about with expectant eyes filled with sparkles and I could only try to dodge her gaze by looking in the opposite direction.

“Papa, how did he summon lightning like that?”

“It was just a party trick.”

“What?! But Minimus Prime cleary stopped detonating after he did it.”

“He’s just a hacker and hacked into Minimus Prime’s control circuit and cancelled the detonation sequence.”

“He’s a hacker?”

She looked downwards and I thought that killed her curiosity.

After a moment in silence she tightly clenched her little hands into fists and looked back up with even more sparkles in her eyes.

“Hackers are so cool! I want to be a hacker too when I grow up!”

A shiver ran down my back and I felt like I had just done something I would never be able to undo.

“Hackers can actually bring down lightning as a party trick? What kind of other amazing things can they do papa?”

This is worse than trying to break the news to her about a certain white bearded, pot bellied man, dressed in red and white.

“Eh? Well. They can fly?”

“Papa, can you not lie to me please. Even I know hackers can’t fly.”

That’s what you chose to not believe?!

“They can destroy their enemy with the tap of a single button.”

“You mean they can rule the world just by flicking their finger?”

“Yeah…”

“Amazing!”

“They can also rip open space and teleport.”

“Papa, can you please stop joking.”

Why didn’t that one go through? Well, I probably got a bit ahead of myself there.

“I’m not kidding this time my daughter, it’s the truth. They can teleport and rip open space!”

“Really?”

She still looked doubtful, but I just nodded my head resolutely. Once you were on the tigers back, it was hard to get down after all.

“Then prove it papa. Get him to teleport and rip open space then I will believe you.”

Why is my daughter so skeptical yet accepting of the strangest things?

Like hell he can actually teleport or rip open space! Not even our technology has reached that stage yet. The most we can do is teleport small objects. Humans are out of the question.

Wait. I can still save the situation. Can’t I just get him to perform a magic trick or something?

“I want to see him teleport! I want to see him teleport!”

She was rolling about the ground throwing a tantrum while my troubles only increased.

“Fine, I’ll make sure to have him show you.”

“That’s not enough papa, I want him to be my personal attendant so I can learn the ways of a hacker from him.”

Those expectant eyes really hurt my conscience and I couldn’t bring myself to turn her down.

I could only grit my teeth and force out a single word, “fine.”

That man is definitely a con artist.

(POV Hana, Director’s daughter)

Father is too easy to see through.

I always put on an innocent good little girl act to get my way. Father will definitely never realize I know the entire truth.

Hacker? Are you kidding me? Do you think I’m some kind of moron.

That guy definitely was not normal. My eyes are sharper than most people, I’ve watched all sorts of movies and shows before and that definitely was not CG or special effects. I don’t know how he did it, but my curiosity is killing me.

How can someone summon lightning while underground by just waving their hand? Isn’t that too absurd?

As a grown up, father is prone to dismissing things as fraud without looking into things deeper.

He’s a busy man after all.

Although he is pretty gullible when it comes to me.

One time, I casually mentioned it would be super cool to have a dungeon labyrinth underground and he went and made it.

I watched a certain movie another time and said it would be awesome if we had stairs like in the movie and he went and built it.

I randomly drew up a random elevator design that would within seconds ascend and descend several thousand meters and to commemorate my first drawing he made it the exit to the labyrinth.

Father is really too easy to persuade. Just show him a cutesy expression with upturned watery eyes and his willpower instantly collapses.

Throw a little tantrum by rolling on the ground and he becomes helpless like the entire world had collapsed around him.

Father is cute.

After I was done persuading father, I ran back to my room and turned on my terminal.

I opened up the camera footage to locate the mysterious man from the earlier footage. In the footage I saw something really strange.

It was the same man, but there was an out of this world flirtatious beauty I never noticed before latched onto his arm.

I thought it was a coincidence at first, but that woman looked directly in the direction of the hidden camera I observed them from the moment I started my secret espionage mission.

She just smiled slightly towards its direction for a moment before she turned back to flirt with the man she walked beside with arms locked.

That woman is definitely suspicious. When I thought back to the footage father showed me before, she definitely was not there.

While I observed them I saw something completely unbelievable.

There were several cameras set up within the corridor they had passed through. Just before the man opened what was supposed to be the last door to the corridor that would lead them to the room where the enrollment ceremony would take place, the woman snapped her fingers behind her back.

Right before my eyes, ninety nine finely ornamented doors sprung up one by one out of thin air from a camera that was further down the corridor they had passed through.

I then watched as the man ripped at his hair opening one door after the next.

I also bore witness to the two of them who had some sort of fight before they made up shortly after.

Everything was too surreal. I thought I was whimsical, but these two were absolutely ridiculous. It was likely nobody else existed in their little world.

This couple is really too mysterious.

“Hahaha! This is great! These two are exactly what I was looking for. Things will definitely become more interesting if I keep watching them.”

Right now I could easily tell, my eyes were sparkling from the pure excitement in anticipation of the storm their group would bring.

I better get to know the two of them as well. I’m sure it will be fun.
