for Advance Chapter
"Ma- Manager Topaz!" The color drained from my face instantly, and my voice was somewhat lost, "This- this amount is too... I- I really can't afford it! Could we... could we get a massive discount? Or split it into several hundred installments or something?"
Looking at my panicked expression, the smile on Topaz's face became even more playful.
She gently shook her finger: "Oh? No money? That makes things difficult. According to company regulations, for clients unable to settle fees, we need to reclaim relevant assets immediately. Which means..."
She paused, her smile still sweet, but the words she spoke were as bone-chilling as ice: "You are required to vacate this villa before sunset today. Furthermore, you need to raise the full amount within thirty days, otherwise, we will also pursue high late fees and legal litigation costs against you."
Vacate the villa?! By today?!
This was a bolt from the blue!
If we move out of here, my harem life... ah no, the home I finally built with my wives will be completely terminated?!
The small rooms on the Astral Express couldn't possibly fit so many people!
"I don't want that kind of thing—!" I couldn't care about face anymore, I lunged forward, grabbed Topaz's plump thighs which were somewhat tightened by her uniform shorts, and began to wail loudly, "Manager Topaz! Please, have mercy! I was wrong! I will take the lead in cutting expenses! I'll do anything! Just don't kick us out!"
(Wuwu... Manager Topaz's thighs... they feel so full and firm... the elasticity is so good... they feel so comfortable to touch...)
While I was crying and pleading, I didn't forget to take the opportunity to cop a feel.
Topaz looked down at me holding her thighs and crying a river (while conveniently copping a feel), the playful smile on her face seemed to deepen, as if she was very satisfied with my completely spineless begging.
"Hmm..." She drew out her tone, as if reluctantly considering it, "Well, seeing as you have so much 'sincerity,' the company isn't completely heartless. Besides monetary repayment, actually... there's a second option for you."
"A second option?" I immediately looked up, teary-eyed, like grasping at a straw.
"That's right." Topaz nodded, her smile becoming somewhat... cunning?
"That is, you must accept an 'additional labor contract' tailored for you by our company, using your labor to repay this massive debt."
She leaned down, bringing her face close to mine, and announced in an indisputable tone: "From today on, I, Topaz, will officially move into this villa to conduct on-site supervision of this investment. And you, Trailblazer, besides fulfilling your original Trailblaze mission, within the villa, you are my personal assistant! Responsible for handling all my daily affairs here and... well, 'special needs'."
Topaz is moving in too?! And I have to be her personal assistant?! Looking at that fox-like shrewd smile on her face, a strong sense of foreboding rose in my heart.
Seeing the hesitation and struggle on my face, Topaz's smile deepened further, and she said slowly: "What? Unwilling? Or... would you prefer I hand this debt over to my colleague—Ms. Jade, to personally discuss the subsequent repayment plan with you?"
Jade?! The "Bonajade" lady?! One of the most terrifying "Stoneheart" members in company legends, a top debt collector known for being cold, ruthless, and highly skilled?!
Just thinking about possibly facing that lady, I shivered instantly and shook my head like a rattle: "No, no, no! No need to trouble Ms. Jade!" I even held a final glimmer of hope and asked quietly: "Then... then could we switch to Ms. Asta..."
"Bang!" A not-too-heavy but sharp flick landed squarely on my forehead.
"In your dreams! No!" Topaz rejected my fantasy without mercy.
Fine, looks like there's no choice.
Compared to being kicked out of the villa or facing Jade, being Topaz's personal assistant seemed... like the best outcome? Although it felt weird somewhere...
"I choose! I choose Manager Topaz!" I made the decision immediately, fearing she would change her mind.
"Very good." Topaz nodded with satisfaction, then pulled out an electronic contract file from nowhere, displaying it on the holographic screen, "Then, sign here. Once you sign this labor contract, your previous debt to the company will be cleared."
Looking at those dense clauses regarding "assistant" duties and obligations (especially some blurry-looking "special needs" clauses), I was still a bit worried.
But, to stay here, to continue this hard-won beautiful life with my wives...
I gritted my teeth and signed my name on the electronic signature line with my finger.
"Deal." Topaz saw the signature take effect and showed a winner's bright smile.
She clapped her hands and said to the Warp Trotter always at her feet: "Alright, Numby, move our luggage in!"
That cute Trotter shook its head, then carrying a huge suitcase completely disproportionate to its body size, it hopped and skipped towards the villa.
Topaz also followed with light steps, humming a relaxed tune as she walked into the villa.
Leaving me alone, still in the posture of holding her thighs, sitting blankly on the stone path of the courtyard, my mind still a mess.
I... just like that, gained a boss and "creditor," and even had to be her personal assistant?
I was still frozen in place, watching the backs of Topaz and her Trotter disappear into the house, my brain still a jumble.
Personal assistant? Massive debt? What is all this?
No, this matter is too serious, I need to ask Ruan Mei and the others quickly!
The communication was quickly connected, and the figures of Ruan Mei and Herta appeared on the screen at the same time.
Ruan Mei was still that cold, intellectual figure; Herta was still in her posture of crossing her arms, her expression carrying a hint of impatience, as if wanting to say we just separated and what could possibly be the matter, a genius is very busy.
Like I had found my pillar of support, I poured everything out in one go, telling them about Topaz's sudden appearance, the sky-high bill, the threat to kick us out, and finally forcing me to sign a "selling-myself contract" to be her personal assistant.
"...That's what happened! I now owe the company over a hundred million and have to be her assistant! Our lives have encountered a major crisis!" I said with a sob, "Fortunately, I sacrificed the freedom of the rest of my life to temporarily solve the urgent problem, but in the future, we will probably have to tighten our belts... But don't worry! I will work hard at Trailblazing to earn money and repay the debt!"
After I finished, I thought I would receive their sympathy or concern, but unexpectedly...
"Pfft—!"
Ruan Mei and Big Herta on the other side of the screen actually laughed at the same time!
