"Master."
With a glint in her eyes, Mai respectfully bowed to Yuujin, who nodded in response.
After a year, Bulma, Tights, and even Mai had undergone significant changes—not only in appearance but also in their demeanor. They were all the more beautiful and captivating.
"Bulma, how long are you going to keep hugging me? There are people watching."
Yuujin found it amusing as he gently tapped the girl's nose while she clung to him.
"Hmph, it's not like I want to hug you!" Bulma retorted, blushing as she reluctantly let go of Yuujin, although her words were contrary to her actions.
"You could have just come straight to find us. You were shouting so loudly that everyone in West City could hear you."
Bulma grumbled slightly, recalling that she and her sister had been enjoying tea when Goku's loud voice startled her, causing her to drop her cup.
"It was Yuujin who asked me to call out, hee hee hee… We wanted to come directly, but they wouldn't let us."
Goku flashed a bright, toothy grin, while Yuujin shrugged.
Smart as ever, Bulma and Tights quickly figured out what was going on, their brows furrowing slightly as their expressions grew sour.
Before Bulma and Tights could say anything, a man named Ishida spoke up from the side:
"Miss Bulma, Miss Tights, who is this guy?"
His voice was low as he glared at Yuujin. Seeing Yuujin's hands still resting around Bulma and Tights's waists filled him with jealousy, his eyes almost red with envy.
He had sacrificed so much for his family's and corporation's mission just to get close to Bulma and Tights, even resorting to working as a mere gatekeeper. Yet, the two sisters had already thrown themselves into the arms of another man—and shamelessly, at that, together.
These adulterers!
"Who he is—do I owe you an explanation?"
Bulma, understanding that this was the person who had blocked Yuujin and the others from entering, showed him no courtesy. After a moment's thought, she continued:
"But since you asked, I'll introduce him."
"His name is Yuujin. He's my boyfriend and my sister's boyfriend, too. He's also the true owner of Dragon Ball Corporation."
"Now, does everyone understand?"
She glanced around, mainly to inform everyone present of Yuujin's identity, so they wouldn't be so clueless and stop him next time without realizing who the real owner of the company was.
"Miss Bulma and Miss Tights's boyfriend…"
"The real owner of Dragon Ball Corporation…"
Unsurprisingly, whether clients or company staff, everyone around them looked stunned once more. They had known there was a mysterious president behind Dragon Ball Corporation, but never imagined it would be this young man in martial arts attire. It felt like they came from completely different worlds.
"Yuujin, Goku, Chi-Chi, let's go upstairs first."
Ignoring the shocked expressions around them, Bulma, Tights, and Mai led Yuujin and the others into the private elevator, heading back to the top-floor office. Just before the doors closed, Bulma added:
"Ishida, you don't need to come here anymore."
"W-What did you say, Miss Bulma?"
Finally snapping out of his shock, Ishida wore a look of disbelief.
"Do I need to say it again? You don't need to come back."
Bulma's expression showed a hint of disgust as she repeated herself. Understanding her intent, Ishida's face darkened:
"Miss Bulma, our corporation has a contract with Dragon Ball Corporation. You can't just dismiss me like this!"
"A contract?"
"Oh, I think we did have one of those."
Bulma seemed to remember something, nodding slightly.
But in the next moment, her smile turned cold:
"But I no longer wish to continue our contract."
"Leave now, collect your breach of contract compensation from the finance office, and never appear before me again!"
Bulma's words were merciless. Ishida's face twisted as if he wanted to say more, but the elevator doors closed, cutting him off from Yuujin and the women.
Although this was just a small incident, it would undoubtedly cause a stir throughout West City soon enough—not only because the true owner of Dragon Ball Corporation had appeared, but also because the famous Bulma sisters were sharing the same boyfriend.
Amid the rapidly ascending elevator, Yuujin looked Bulma up and down, making her blush.
"Yuujin, you pervert! Haven't you looked enough?!"
"Not bad, Bulma. In just one year, you've gone from a spoiled princess to a domineering CEO."
Yuujin teased, prompting laughter from Tights and the others.
"Hmph, who do you think I should blame? If I don't act tough, how would those people ever listen to me?"
Bulma pouted. She didn't actually want to play the role of a domineering CEO; it was exhausting having to keep a stern face all the time. But this was a lesson she and her sister had learned through repeated experiences.
Thinking about it for a moment, Yuujin understood what Bulma meant. Although Bulma and Tights were smart—Bulma especially, being a genius—their sheltered upbringing meant they lacked experience. The early days of starting the company must have been full of struggles.
Feeling a surge of guilt and affection, Yuujin pulled the sisters into his arms.
"I'm sorry, Bulma, Tights, for making things hard on you."
"No, we're happy to help you, Yuujin."
"Hmph, as long as someone knows to appreciate it."
Leaning against Yuujin's chest, Tights showed a gentle expression, while Bulma huffed—her and her sister's differing personalities were evident in just a few words.
"Who was that Ishida guy earlier?"
Yuujin asked, recalling the earlier conversation. He wasn't holding a grudge—Bulma had already kicked him out—but he was curious about the man's background.
"He's Ishida Makino, the heir of the Ishida Corporation," Tights explained.
Yuujin chuckled at the revelation.
"Seriously? A wealthy young master working as a gatekeeper for us?"
"Hmph, he had ulterior motives, trying to get close to me and my sister."
"Just a guy who thinks too highly of himself because of his family. After we signed a contract with the Ishida Corporation, he insisted on coming over, so I put him on gate duty," Bulma explained.
In fact, there were many people like Ishida within the company. These individuals harbored hopes of winning over Bulma or Tights, thinking it would not only grant them the ladies' hearts but also the massive assets of Capsule Corporation and Dragon Ball Corporation. Bulma and Tights saw through them but couldn't be bothered to care. If these pampered young men wanted to work, they could.
"You, go guard the gate. You clean the restrooms. You take out the trash. Work for as long as you like!"
Tights aside, Bulma enjoyed having such high-quality "free labor." If Ishida hadn't angered her by blocking Yuujin, she would've been content to keep him at the gate forever.
Of course, no matter how long he stood at the gate, he would never touch even a toe of either sister!
Hearing Bulma's explanation, Yuujin couldn't help but laugh, lightly tapping her forehead.
"Bulma, you wicked woman."
