Chapter 11: Inspecting Prestige Sua
I checked out Im Sua from Prestige.
'Ah... aaaah...'
Sua had grown tremendously too. But she was still getting outpaced by her subordinates. She might be the weakest chief secretary in Prestige history...
Well, it couldn't be helped. In the game story, Sua didn't even appear—or if she did, she was just an extra NPC. She was probably randomly generated with stats around a police team leader's level. Her potential wasn't that high either...
Haaah. Poor Sua...
"?"
She tilted her head at my pitying gaze. Completely clueless. She couldn't see others' stats anyway, and she probably didn't even know she had her own. Better that way. Knowing exactly how lacking she was might stress her out and lead her astray.
'Yeah. As long as my jotjip has a pretty face, big tits, slim waist, long legs, perfect proportions, and fucks well, that's enough.'
Seo Aram's rise was too steep anyway, so when the time was right, I'd pull her out as chief and give Sua something else. She was staying by my side regardless, but people were sensitive about titles.
'At least she's a jack-of-all-trades now.'
The good news was Sua had put in real effort. When we first met, her martial prowess was a measly '69,' but through hard work and implants, she'd hit the 100s now. Her actual combat ability had improved a ton too. Huge achievement.
'Even with those negative traits attached.'
Body Maladaptation meant she still hadn't fully adjusted. We'd shelled out big money to fix implant mismatches, but she couldn't utilize 100% yet. Meaning, even after all that growth, she had untapped potential left.
'Let's check the others too.'
'Ah... but her subordinates...'
'Uh... hmm...?'
'...'
Surprisingly, even though I'd appointed them on a whim, they all had stats fitting their teams. But that wasn't the point—each one was chief secretary level. Especially Ra Seung-hee, the strategy team leader; her stats could make her chief or even head right now, loaded with traits like a total S-rank talent.
'No loyalty though. Sigh.'
That was her only flaw. Even when I crushed her in the bathroom earlier, her face twitched a bit—she wasn't the super devoted type. Made me want to pound her harder though.
'Smart girls are such a pain, tsk tsk tsk.'
Not a big deal. She wouldn't betray me or anything. She'd just slack a little. Now that she was in Prestige, her life was collateral anyway.
'And that's what makes it tastier.'
You're on my special rimjob jotjip list now, Ra Seung-hee. I quietly added her to the mental roster.
'Anyway... Grandpa must've pulled strings hard looking at their specs.'
I didn't know about the deputy chiefs and below, but these team leaders were all chief-grade. Slipping in three like that screamed Grandpa's influence.
'The Go board paid off big time.'
Scored major points with him.
'While I'm at it, let's check Seol too.'
Uh... what the hell. Her martial prowess jumped 100 already? Human? Well, not human... Exclusive armament effect maybe.
'And Despair's gone, Aspiration's on...!'
New traits like Talent Manifestation and Genius piled up. But these weren't new—they'd finally manifested. Baekseol was always top-tier talent. Not for nothing the strongest knight in human history.
So they'd been dormant under all that despair and resignation.
'Meeting me made her stronger.'
Great sign. My gaslighting was working. A little more petting and she'd grow even more.
I'd seen Seo Aram's face too, nothing else to do, so I stood up. Everyone around rose with me.
"Looking forward to it, Seo Aram."
"!! Y-yes, my lord...!"
"Ah, yeah. Gotta do what needs doing before you go."
"...?"
I approached Seo Aram. She startled a bit as I neared, then calmly bowed her head. I grabbed her chin and kissed her.
"!!"
The initiation rite I'd done to the other team leaders. I ravaged her lips, then slid lower.
"Ahht."
Along her sharp jawline, inhaling her neck's scent, I yanked her jacket open.
Pop!
"Ah...!"
Buttons flew. I tore her blouse too, burying my face in her cleavage.
"Haht, ahh ah...!!"
Satisfied, I finally pulled away.
Not even fucked, but Seo Aram's face flushed, breathing ragged. Such a slutty bitch.
I took the envelope from Sua and tucked it into her cleavage.
"See you as team leader next time."
I headed to the rooftop with the AV pad. High up, the wind was fierce and air thin, but it'd be fine for a bit. Women swarmed around me: my number one jotjip and chief secretary Im Sua, Baekseol, Levi, Seo Eun-mi; security team leader Kwon Dam-bi, strategy team leader Ra Seung-hee, execution team leader Jin Ji-hye, and a protocol deputy in Seo Aram's place. Plus five secretaries each from their teams.
Not all riding my AV—regular secretaries would take the provided ones. From now on, rotations would shuttle via AV to and from Prestige.
Boarded the AV. With my crew and then the team leaders, it felt packed.
"Ah, Im Sua."
"Yes, my lord."
"No more piloting from today. Get someone else."
Sua was seasoned enough for a driver swap. The protocol deputy smartly took the pilot seat. Sua sat beside me.
"Report."
"Ah, one moment."
Whoosh. Feeling the AV lift off, I listened to Sua's report.
Basically, Nokono-go Girls topped the music charts again today, LUMINA second; Incheon Prosecutors' Office discussing ending In Ae-eun's special probe with the new chief prosecutor; plus a special bill for permanent special prosecutors tabled in Incheon Council—total opposites.
"Who's the new chief prosecutor?"
Incheon elected by mayor nominating three, then deputies and council law committee voting.
"A guy named Jong Jin-hyuk—"
Sua rattled off his resume. Not that interested, but basically, the next in line got the spot. Nothing special.
One catch: he wanted to end In Ae-eun's probe immediately.
'By the book, it's about time anyway.'
Probably a hassle. First act as chief: fight council to extend? Nah.
"In Ae-eun's special probe..."
Might be better to bow out to applause. Permanent one's coming anyway. Rest, then get called back—looks good.
"Watch it for now. Send flowers in my name. Congrats."
"Understood. Ah, and my lord,"
Sua added the report she'd been waiting for.
"The artificial island is approaching Yeonpyeongdo off Incheon. Near Jang Kyung-su's old factory."
"Oh. Finally...!"
Auntie's gift island had arrived in Incheon.
