Chapter 117: Chapter 35: Training With Staff!

When I arrived at the office and parked my car in the VIP section, I noticed there were more employees, but I really didn't want to disturb them when they were working so hard. It's not like I am anything more than a hands-off CEO anyway.

So I chose to head through the side entrance, only to discover there was a private gym for all workers!

Well, it does save me the trouble of walking to the regular gym nearby...

After entering the gym, I discovered several female workers were exercising—their toned and fit bodies glistening with sweat as they wore tight sportswear, making me stare at them with appreciation.

They seemed rather nervous when they realized I had entered the room and quickly bowed politely; however, I waved them off and told them to continue as I headed to the changing room.

Thankfully, there was a set of training clothes for both genders to be used for free. Even though I haven't been fully introduced, it seemed that many of the female employees had been told who I was as they showed great respect.

I don't mind it, but the sight of their tight muscles and rumps in that skin-tight material was far too erotic.

It seems that Haruka and Elizabeth did a wonderful job...

Thinking of them, I remembered last night and how I ravaged their bodies, making them beg for more...

As I finished changing into the sportswear, I headed to the treadmill—several female workers seemed to follow me, perhaps hoping to gain my favour, but I ignored them as I adjusted the machine to max and began running.

Not long after, I noticed most female workers had stopped exercising and focused their attention on me—a few of them even followed me.

They tried to copy what I was doing but soon gave up halfway, panting or collapsing from the treadmill in seconds—apart from this strange girl with short brown hair and a small nose, her body was petite, and she seemed a little strange. Still, we were both in the zone, running at the maximum difficulty and highest resistance.

After thirty minutes of running, I switched machines to weight lifting—there was plenty of equipment here, including dumbbells and barbells, which I appreciated.

"I'm glad they considered the fact employees would be ability users as there was enough to reach five hundred kilograms worth of weight, at least here."

Many female employees began to gather, watching me work out intensely—it seemed they had never seen someone lift so much weight with little rest or maybe just wanted to get some favour from their new boss. At least judging from their shocked faces, but I ignored them and continued.

After doing several sets of exercises, I noticed the girl from earlier had followed me once again—she had a calm and indifferent expression as if unaffected by the workout and just continued without stopping.

This intrigued me...

"Hey, you there. What's your name?"

For a second, she seemed surprised but quickly returned to her neutral expression and replied calmly.

"Kana Shimizu."

She didn't seem interested in me at all—instead, she kept working out tirelessly, focusing entirely on her workout routine, ignoring me.

It made me interested...

Normally, women would try to get my favour or attract my attention, but she was different—noticing my stare, Kana frowned as she paused her workout, looking at me.

"Is there anything else you want?"

"What's your ability?"

Without replying, Kana stretched her right arm as her skin changed colour to black scales, and sharp claws appeared on her fingers—with a casual swipe, she cut a nearby bench in half as if cutting through butter.

"I have enhanced strength and durability... why do you ask?"

Her voice was cold and emotionless—it seemed she disliked interacting with people, but I liked her attitude. It reminds me of Haruka somewhat.

"Do you want to have a contest? If you win, I will reward you with three things you desire; if you lose, we will always train together and spar before work in the future, and you will fulfil one thing for me."

What a useful skill... I thought, walking towards my office in my fresh suit, feeling great as my muscles were tighter and my body was more flexible than this morning.

If this were the improvements brought by the skill, I wanted to train daily until it was the maximum rank possible!

Upon arriving at my office, I saw Haruka and Elizabeth waiting for me—they seemed worried, and Elizabeth looked angry as she pouted, complaining about me leaving without telling them.

But I kissed her lips gently, silencing her as I hugged her body, stroking her head comfortingly.

Haruka approached, hugging my other arm and kissing my cheek gently as she whispered.

"Where were you this morning?"

Seeing them behave like this, I couldn't help but kiss them as I explained where I went and how I discovered an excellent employee—Haruka smiled gently as Elizabeth looked confused, asking.

"Who is she?"

"Her name is Kana Shimizu—she has superhuman strength and durability. Her ability seems related to dragons somehow..."

Elizabeth seemed surprised while Haruka narrowed her eyes—it seemed she knew something about dragons.

"Master, are you sure it was a good idea to hire her? Dragons are dangerous creatures, and Kana Shimizu, I was the one who did her interview—she might be part of a yakuza family... they are very dangerous."

"Aren't we a gang anyway? Don't judge people from their past or background, okay? I am nothing but a poor sewer rat with a strong right hook."

Hearing Haruka warn me, I laughed as I kissed her lips gently, hugging her body against mine as I reassured her.

"Trust me, Haruka. I won't put us in danger... Kana Shimizu interests me, and her strength is not ordinary—if possible, invite her to our out for the team dinner tonight. We need to bond as a team, especially since she can help protect the company from attackers."

Harunka looked worried but agreed—Elizabeth didn't seem interested as she dragged me to the black couch and cuddled up to me, showing me the reports and work she had done in the past few hours while trying to seduce me.

It seemed she missed me...

Smiling, I kissed her lips gently and stroked her head as Haruka prepared papers—we worked for several hours until it was time for lunch, and we headed downstairs, eating in the canteen.

While eating, I got a message from Aki that seemed a little cryptic, telling me to head to the dungeon at seven o'clock.
