The Weiting Consortium, Alt Branch Top Office.
Eiffel rubbed her temples, perplexed by the persistent twitch of her right eyelid, as if foreboding loomed ahead.
Though disbelieving in such superstitions, the incessant twitch was undeniably impeding her workflow.
Setting down the documents in her hand, Miss Eiffel resolved to take a brief respite.
Under such circumstances, ensuring efficiency while completing tasks proved somewhat arduous.
— Perhaps it's best to wait for Mr. Jonas to return before presenting these processed documents to him.
With this thought in mind, Eiffel reclined on the desk for a brief repose.
.....
As the deputy, Miss Eiffel demonstrated utmost diligence.
However, what was Jonas up to at this moment?
#Check Jonas' status#
Ah, Jonas is currently by the seaside, engaging in playful banter with Miss Esney.
To label it as mere flirtation might be a tad biased, for this unexpected encounter lay beyond Jonas's anticipation.
Nevertheless, whether subsequent actions could be deemed 'intentional' remains a matter of opinion.
Half an hour after the mishap, Miss Esney still seemed somewhat disoriented.
Her blushing, menacing countenance tempted one to take a playful nip.
Perhaps no one could have anticipated that the formidable "Black War Goddess" would exhibit such an adorable expression of embarrassment in this scenario.
Though veering slightly off course, events unfolded undoubtedly along the trajectory Jonas had envisaged.
Atop the black armored vehicle, Esney's hair tips glistened with moisture, her gaze occasionally darting through the vehicle's mirror to Jonas.
Yet, when his gaze met hers, she promptly averted her eyes, feigning interest in the scenery outside the window.

Noticing the girl's subtle gestures, Jonas couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
However, he betrayed no emotion, instead gripping the steering wheel with utmost composure.
If only one could see the progress of conquest... The current progress should be at seventy percent?
When the collar no longer serves as a shackle, will that customary "woof" still roll off the tongue so effortlessly?
.....
It has been a full month since the assault on the Alt Branch of the Weiting Consortium.
During this period, no one has come looking for trouble... The Destiny Organization seems to have vanished without a trace.
Jonas is well aware that Miss Tianyu, the last scion of the Celestial Feather, is biding her time.
Yet, he pays it no mind.
His concern lies elsewhere, in another imminent event—the impending melee.
In the original storyline, the peacekeeping forces would suffer an unprecedented gang assault in this incident.
This would become the peacekeeping forces' greatest embarrassment.
Due to the sudden attack, equipped with outdated gear, the peacekeeping forces were forced into a humiliating retreat, sustaining heavy losses, ultimately having to seek the Consortium's assistance to salvage their dignity.
Although only defending the weakest sector, this incident nonetheless exposed fatal flaws within the peacekeeping forces.
Subsequently, following this event, the peacekeeping forces opted for radical reform, abandoning cooperation with the Weiting Consortium in favor of a weapons partnership with the Nason Consortium.
The Board hoped to profit from the peacekeeping forces, yet the outcome was mutually damaging, souring relations between the Weiting Consortium and the peacekeeping forces.
This prompted Jonas to contact Ukas early on.
Rather than letting the Board squander all advantages, it was better to leverage these advantages to bolster his own influence.

The Weiting Consortium, Alt Branch Top Office.
Contemplating the impending events, Jonas lightly tapped his fingers on the desk.
"The Wild Wolf Gang and the Frenzy Fire Gang have clashed on the streets, resulting in six fatalities and fourteen severe injuries."
Barring any surprises, this incident would occur today.
Yet, this seemingly mundane event would stir up a storm in days to come.
What Jonas needed to do was intercept before the event unfolded.
The clash between the Wild Wolf Gang and the Frenzy Fire Gang...
Sounds commonplace, merely a skirmish between gangs.
However, this incident involves two major consortiums rivaling the Weiting Consortium.
The Wild Wolf Gang was tasked with escorting the latest generation of research chips for the Nason Consortium, yet the Levi Consortium somehow intercepted this information and hired thugs to intercept the Wild Wolf Gang.
Their hired group was none other than the Frenzy Fire Gang.
As expected, the Frenzy Fire Gang seized the chip and hiked up its price, selling it at a premium to the Levi Consortium.
The Levi Consortium swiftly cracked the chip, causing immense trouble for the Nason Consortium.
Due to its irreplaceable and unique nature, the Nason Consortium had no choice but to reluctantly repurchase it from the Levi Consortium at a higher price.
The seeds of discord sown in this incident resurfaced in subsequent clashes with the peacekeeping forces, evolving into a power struggle involving nearly half of the major consortiums.
Of course, none of this concerned Jonas greatly.
His sole concern was maximizing profits by leveraging his foresight advantage in this impending event.
Regaining his focus, Jonas dialed Eiffel's communicator and spoke succinctly:murder and robbery
