After a five-hour journey, the helicopter landed at the airport.
Anna faced Arthur. "Boss, I've booked a car. Your cars will be directly parked at the mansion. You two can go to this hotel. I'll take care of the formalities and handle the payment."
"Okay."
"Shouldn't I come along too?" Elsa asked.
"No need, no need. Enjoy yourselves," Anna said, wearing a smile that seemed a bit creepy, like that of a middle-aged man.
The car was nothing extravagant, but it was beyond what ordinary people could afford.
"I'll take a cab," Anna said, getting into the cab and waving goodbye.
"Let's go," Arthur said.
Arthur sat in the car and Elsa sat beside him, once again being in close proximity.
"S-sorry, boss, for sleeping on your shoulder. It must have been annoying, right?" Elsa let out a wry smile.
The car started moving, and the sudden jolt caught Elsa off guard, causing her to fall onto Arthur's lap.
"Don't worry," Arthur reassured her, helping her get up as the car continued moving. "It wasn't annoying." He patted her head gently.
"Ah." Elsa was surprised but didn't resist.
"Tsk." The driver clicked his tongue, but he didn't sound annoyed.
'When will I get a girlfriend?' The driver, a young man himself, felt envious of Arthur.
Arthur moved closer to Elsa, and she felt nervous. 'Is he going to kiss me?' She prepared herself, moving closer as well.
However, Arthur's lips didn't reach hers but instead touched her ear. "I need your help. Will you assist me?" He whispered softly.
"..." Elsa covered her face. 'What was I thinking?' She wanted to dig a hole and hide.
"Hm?" Arthur gently removed her hands from her face and looked into her eyes. "Will you?" He asked again.
"Sure..." She managed to utter those words.
"Thank you." Arthur smiled warmly. 'Let's get ready,' he thought, cracking his knuckles.
The hotel they arrived at was massive. Arthur took out his phone and showed it to the receptionist to confirm their reservation for the presidential suite. Once confirmed, Arthur and Elsa headed towards the upper floors.
Elsa was in a daze, not even questioning what kind of help Arthur needed from her.
The presidential suite was incredibly luxurious. Two beautiful waitresses were there to serve them.
"You two can leave," Arthur instructed them.
The waitresses smiled and giggled. "Sir, there's protection in the drawer." With that teasing remark, they exited the suite.
Arthur paid no mind to their words, but Elsa couldn't help but feel self-conscious. 'Isn't this moving too fast?' She understood the implications of the waitresses' comment.
Arthur turned to face Elsa.
"Elsa."
"Yes, boss!" She spoke up loudly, her nerves getting the better of her.
"I need you to... help me…." Arthur whispered into her ear.
"This..." Elsa's face returned to normal, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing her expression.
"What do you think? Can you do it? Don't worry, I'll protect you. I'll make sure no harm comes your way."
"I will help you, boss." Elsa nodded, mustering a smile.
"Thanks!" Arthur was so excited that he grabbed her hand.
"Tomorrow, I'll show you the place."
"Okay, boss." Suddenly, she moved closer to Arthur, their bodies almost touching.
Then she retracted her hands and hugged him.
"..." Arthur didn't react. He was already aware of her feelings, but he hadn't accepted them.
"Then... let me have my reward."
"Okay." Arthur sighed and hugged her back. Since she was going to undertake a dangerous task, he decided to let her experience some love.
"Kiss me..." Elsa's cheeks turned even redder. 'I can't believe I said that.' Her heart was pounding heavily.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes..." Elsa lowered her gaze. Arthur gently lifted her face, and their lips met in a tender kiss.
"!!!" An electric jolt surged through her body.
She tightly gripped his back, and Arthur reciprocated with gentleness. Their lips danced and sucked on each other's, while he pulled her closer by grabbing her back.
Her chest pressed against his, allowing him to hear her racing heart. Yet, Arthur's heart beat calmly. It wasn't stirred with excitement.
After a minute, their lips reluctantly parted.
Elsa was sweating, her hand instinctively reaching for her clothes as if she wanted to remove them. However, Arthur caught her hands.
"Don't be rash," he said.
"..." Elsa didn't know how to react.
"Go and take a shower. Cool your head."
Elsa weakly nodded and made her way to the bathroom. Her legs felt wobbly as she blushed intensely.
...
An hour later, Ana entered the suite and found Elsa and Arthur in the room.
Elsa sat on the bed while Arthur was on the couch, engrossed in his phone. Arthur appeared unaffected, while Elsa kept stealing glances at him, blushing frequently.
Ana nodded in satisfaction and approached them.
"Let's go, boss."
Arthur nodded and they left. As they walked out, Ana turned to Elsa. "Did something happen?"
"N-Nothing..." Elsa averted her eyes.
"Did you go all the way... Have you... had sex?" Ana whispered in her ear.
"No! We just kissed, nothing more," Elsa hurriedly clarified, revealing the extent of their encounter.
"Oh." Ana chuckled.
"Don't tease me anymore," Elsa pouted.
"Let's go..."

The next day -
"Are you sure about this, boss?" Ana asked.
"Yes. For now, you go gather information from his company. Find out about his allies, enemies, and everything else."
"Okay." Ana nodded.
"Oh, by the way, did you send it?"
"Yes, and as you suspected, the fish took the bait."
"Okay."
Arthur nodded as Ana left, and soon Elsa entered the room.
She was wearing a beautiful dress that accentuated her features. The top revealed her stomach, as it only covered around her chest and her hair cascaded freely, adding to her charm.
Her short skirt reached halfway up her thighs, and she wore black stockings.
Elsa felt a bit embarrassed.
"You look wonderful," he complimented her with a smile. "You will do great."
"Okay." Elsa walked up to Arthur and hugged him.
"I'm gathering my courage."
Arthur remained silent.
"Let's go." After a while, they left the house together. Instead of booking a cab, they bought the entire cab directly.
The driver took them to "The Rising Construction and Real Estate Company."
It was a company involved in real estate transactions and construction projects.
The CEO of the company, George, had a shortage of salesgirls, and Elsa was going to be employed there.
"Go... I've created a backstory for you. Your mother is sick, your family is poor. He will try to use that against you," Arthur informed her.
"Mhmm." Elsa nodded and stepped out of the cab. Her legs trembled slightly, but she took a deep breath.
"I'll do my best." She pumped her fist and entered the company.
In her hair, she wore a beautiful hairpin that served as a voice transmitter. And her button was actually a hidden camera. Meanwhile, Arthur entered a nearby building.
"As you requested, boss," Ana greeted him.
The building had been purchased by Arthur. He surveyed the hundreds of men gathered there—his gangsters.
"Hello, boss!" They all nodded in acknowledgement.
[Ding!]
[You now have 100 gangsters as subordinates. Can you handle them?]
[As a reward for recruiting 100 gangsters, you will gain 'Godly Stamina' and 'Godly Fighting Strength.']
*Ding!* His phone vibrated, but he ignored it.
He looked at the men and nodded. "Your only job is to protect her when she's out with him. Ensure her safety, and if anything happens to her, defend her. If anything happens to her..." Arthur punched the wall nearby.
Boom!
The wall crumbled, leaving a massive hole.
...Hiss!
All the gangsters held their breath.
Master!
