"Please come in and take a seat."
"Well don't mind me then."
"So I heard you wanted to talk to me about something Ms.Sun."
"That's right Mr.White, I would like to make a deal with you."
"Oh? Well I'm terribly sorry as I have no plant to make any deal with the Sun family."
"Well that's fine as the deal would be between me and you."
"I don't know how that would work as you have nothing that interests me."
"I wouldn't be so sure of the Mr.White."
"Okay let's hear it. What are you offering?"
"I want your protection and in exchange I'll give you sensitive information about the Sun family."
"Hmm? While that is intriguing, I still don't see much of a merit to accept."
"Huh? What do you mean!? Don't you want to destroy the Sun family!?"
"Uhm no? My objective has nothing to do with the Sun family."
"W-what!? Th-then why do you target our business or our alliance!?"
"Well the businesses part is completely a coincidence and I'm targeting someone inside your alliance not the entire alliance."
"Wait!? T-then I came here for nothing!? I risked everything for nothing!?"
"Yeah that sounds about right."
"…"
"Anyway the door is behind you. I'll be leaving first."
"Wait! Uhm, uh, how about I offer my body then!?"
"Why would I care about your body? I mean sure you have a nice appearance, but I've seen better."
"Humph! You're just saying that. I know for sure you can't resist me."
"Uhm? Lady are you crazy?"
"Geh! I-impossible!"
"I mean sure your beautiful golden hair and memorizing light blue eyes are something. Then your glistening and smooth skin. Also your captivating body adds to your charm, however I've still seen better."
"Heh! Alright sure pervert. I mean it's not like you were just checking me out or anything. Oh no, you would never as you've seen better haven't you?"
"Heh! I mean yes I've seen better, however that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good looking person."
"Tch! Alright I yield, what do you want in exchange for you to protect me?"
"I still don't see any real benefit to help you?"
"What? You're going to turn away a defenseless girl?"
"Yes I am. I'm a businessman not a hero or saint. I see no benefit to shelter you, so I don't plan on it."
"Ugh! F-fine what about—-"
"Master!!!!"
"Huh?"
"Who are you!? Can't you see we're in an important meeting!"
"Huh? Who are you?"
"Anyway Stephanie what did you want?"
"Master, the Sun family has just made an announcement."
""An announcement?""
"Yes, they have just declared they will fight to the bitter end."
"Uhm? When have we started fighting?"
"I don't know Master? We can't just surrender, it would make us look weak."
"Uh? Yeah that is a problem. I mean I guess this can work. We would need something that could crumble or damage their empire. Hey Ms.Sun does the Sun family have any type of dark history?"
"Uh yeah, I mean any power has their dark spots. I would say the Sun family has quite the few."
"Well Ms.Sun it looks like you just got some value."
"Huh? Ms.Sun? Uhm? Did I interrupt something?"
"No"
"Yes"
"Anyway Ms.Sun you want protection and I want your help. So let's do this to get both what we want."
"Huh? What?"
"I'll employ you. You will become an employee, you will help us destabilize and destroy the Sun family. While this would make it easier to protect you."
"While this may protect me inside the Astral Realm. It won't protect me in the Mortal Realm."
"That is true, I plan to bring you to where I am."
"Huh? Where you are?"
"What! You get to go to Master that's no fair! Master I want to go to!"
"Uhm? Stephanie? When did you get so attached?"
"Uhm? Uh? Have fun Master, I have to go."
"Okay that was weird. Let's just go back on topic. Do you agree Ms.Sun?"
"Alright fine, where do I sign?"
"I'll have the contract prepared shortly. In the meantime, care to share some of those dark spots?"
"Well alright let's first talk about——"

Sigh! That was exhausting. Having to put up with her really took a lot out of me. I mean why does it seem like she has multiple personalities. One minute she's all serious, and the next she's all playful. Well that's all done, now all I need is to start planning.
Oh! This will be fun!
Well let's first outline our main objectives. We need to damage both the Qin and Sun family. Obviously I need to make a profit and lastly we need to break up their alliance.
I already know the perfect way to do this. If it all works well we could even see discord happen. I must say is it really that hard to control yourself?
Alright the plan is really simple and easy to make and execute. Simply all we need to do is spread some 'baseless' rumors and other people will simply do the rest.
"Stephanie I just sent you a document. Immediately implement it the operation."
"I understand Master. Also Master I've put Ms.Sun in our marketing department."
"That's fine. You are the CEO and can put your employees wherever you want."
"Hehe~ alright Master."
Now I believe I should have some time to relax. I've had my mind destroyed and recreated thousands of time. Then I had to deal with that troublesome woman. I believe now I should have some time to kill.
Well let's check out the transportation firm. I haven't been there so it should be interesting and it would also be good to check out my properties.
The transportation firm was located inside another sector. It was a white building with gold outlines. It had a giant key as the symbol. The area was busy with crowds bustling through its doors and merchants haggling. The inside was extremely spacious with waiting area all over. The walls were outlined with a smooth light purple and display cases. The cases were displaying multiple items from wagons, cars, boats, planes, spaceships, keys, and more. The firms even was offering services to transport goods for people for a fee.
That's when it hit me, this isn't being used to its fullest potential.
This place can be so much more, yet no one has done it. Maybe it's out of fear or greed, however I don't have that problem.
Recently I noticed something that has changed inside me. I've noticed I've become a perfectionist. That high when something is just right. That high when nothing is out of place. It's the ultimate feeling I can get.
