The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 107
Advertisement
This man didn't need any help to go to the D floor anymore. He already had everything related to the access to that floor.
He was a little disappointed because his secretary who was also his best friend hadn't been allowed to know the existence of the D floor yet.
Hendra went down the elevator alone, attached the access card, and pressed two buttons at the same time, 5 and 8. When he reached the basement floor, his fingerprint and cornea were already recognized by the detection device on the main door.
As usual, when he entered the hallway which was flanked among 3 divisions on the D floor, the residents took turns to bow their heads for Hendra. He was the boss right now.
A bodyguard named Hery walked with him like a tour guide.
"Am I late?". Hendra asked
"No, you're really punctual". Hery immediately replied.
"Where will the meeting take place?".
"Please follow me, of course in room D". Hery just followed until the door that took Hendra to the room where he saw a man being shot by Wiryo's people.
Hendra stopped for a moment, stared at Hery.
"Could you help me?". Hendra asked.
"Yes. Of course".
"Please send roses for my wife! White to reddish flowers. Put a note in it (For you who's patiently waiting for me. Please don't be mad)". Hendra looked at him as a sign that this was an important task.
"Okay, Sir!".
"Just call me Hendra".
"I'm sorry.. I, I mean we, are not allowed to call you recklessly".
"I see.. Next time let me change that rigid rules".
Hendra's words started his steps into the elevator. A moment later, that elevator shifted to the side of his body. It was quite fast.
After reading the information that was sent by Pradita about the rooms and several functions on this basement floor, Hendra just realized that the D floor was exactly under 1 out of 4 Wenceslas Tower icons. More precisely, the headquarters of some subsidiaries of Wenceslas Group.
Hendra didn't understand how they could build a hallway across a public highway that was above the surface.
This capsule-like thing which was going fast enough slowly stopped and the door at front was perfectly opened.
When Hendra entered that room, every chair was occupied except Wiryo's chair.

And the chair that he used to question was occupied by a woman with shoulder-length hair who greeted him with a smile: "Hi.. Hendra, how are you?".
Hendra fell silent and ignored the smile from the woman that he didn't know.
"Oh. Looks like you forgot me. I often played with you when we were kids. That doctor team must've erased your memories". Once again, that woman smiled sweetly, hoping to be greeted. But the blue-eyed man didn't even glance at her.
Hendra stopped his steps for a moment, on his way to the chair that was prepared for him.
He only held that chair while saying: "could you stand up and salute me before I sit down!". Those people smirked but still followed Hendra's command.
No one knew what Wiryo's grandchild was thinking. What symbol he was playing, until he who seemed to hate to be respected in such a protocol, suddenly asked the adopted children of his grandfather including his grandfather's personal secretary, Andos, to subject themselves to him.
Hendra then sat among them.
"What should I hear from you this time?".
The IT expert, Pradita, touched her finger on the white table that spread out before them. A moment later, the data appeared. Data that was born from Pradita's finger touch on that table.
It turned out that the whitish tinge-colored transparent table was real as written. A table with Big Data Analytics ability.
(Big Data Analytics is the process of researching, processing big data sets to know about hidden patterns, unknown correlations, market trends, customer preferences, and other useful business information)
And the Big Data Analytics table in room D wasn't only processing data for business purposes. This table was more than Hendra's prediction, unlimited to maintain the continuity of Wenceslas.
So it was developed and designed to know about things outside market trends. But, more to all information centers that aimed to strengthen Wenceslas Group from every aspect: the safety of the heirs as well as how to paralyze business opponents and opponents whose identities weren't known yet.
Pradita shifted a photo towards Hendra. As if that photo was caught and put right under his seat.
That man started talking: "Back then during your grandfather and grandmother's wedding, that wedding was held in private, for their safety. Because at that time, this place hadn't been formed perfectly. Only an abandoned inheritance from the second generation. An old basement that was slowly renovated as the threat towards your grandfather intensified".

"This time, your wedding will be held publicly. That's why we hope you realize that the day needs to be passed with caution".
Hendra found a wedding photo of his grandfather and grandmother that was held at the same place with the solemnization, the park near the main house's lake.
For a moment, he remembered the day he shook Aruna's father's hand. It was such a memorable day because Aruna transformed into his cheerful, talkative wife and each of her tone and expression was pleasant.
"Then why are they after the women in this family?". Hendra was the most curious about the reason behind his question.
"Actually, before you're married, you're supposed to be targeted more. But since your grandfather deflected granting the president director throne to people like us, the adopted children, that's why you never get any threat". This time, Raka, the leader of Wenceslas's bodyguards, talked.
"Since when did that happen?".
"Since the leadership of your grandfather. It was indeed preceded by a period of extraordinary crisis. Because the government's accusation was still rolling related to the embezzlement of APBN which was scapegoated towards Wenceslas Group".
"Even though your grandfather was still 22 years old at that time and Mr. Warsito, the second generation, already got sick because of old age".
"Since then, half of Wenceslas Group's board started forming a coalition from their small shares".
The screen under Hendra's seat indirectly moved showing the data and some people that were called as Wenceslas Group's board.
Hendra moved his fingers while listening to Vian talking.
"Now, there is no news from these people. They were paralyzed 22 years ago, a few months after your arrival from the US".
"Your grandfather took over all ownership of the shares that they owned and was 100% acquisitioned by a single family, Wenceslas".
"There was a kind of barter in the purchase of shares of Wenceslas Group's board. Grandfather let go a quite promising subsidiary, which was fuel oil processing and several types of mining".
Hendra was always prohibited from developing the Wenceslas Group's business in that direction. It turned out that they had the same business.
Vian moved his fingers, typed something, then spread it out on the table. This time, information in the form of a rectangular cut was presented in front of all meeting participants.
The sound of Thomas blowing his breath could be heard faintly, his eyes were blazing and he looked so disappointed.
"Now, that company grows rapidly and becomes close friends with people in government".
"Wait, Thomas, let's focus". Pradita calmed Thomas down.
Hendra felt he knew the least even though he was declared as the leader of the people in front of him. No wonder that old man always said: "I can easily pay someone to be the CEO of this company". (Chapter 20)
_That man always gives me a lot of surprises, turns out it's not enough to live as his robot_ Slowly, Hendra realized the old man was increasingly irresistible.
.
.
"Actually, your grandfather's decision to let this company go was quite right. The subsidiary that was named Wenceslas Oil Company (DOC) was difficult to develop, since the principle of Wenceslas Group doesn't want to cooperate with the government".
"The government at that time was inhabited by people who really liked to take advantages for their own interests".
"So this company was shackled, couldn't climb at all". Vian explained at length.
"When it was let go, it looked like the assembly of councils who betrayed played safe by obeying those greedy people". Thomas was back with his unstable emotion. It turned out that this man with a masculine impression could be mad too. Hendra had glanced at him. The people in this closed meeting were thinking about problems that were faced by Wenceslas Group really seriously.
How could his grandfather bring in people like these? Hendra couldn't believe it. He, the heir of Wenceslas, thought about running away a few times. As far as possible, if only he could've done that.
"They developed rapidly beyond expectations and their leader is unknown. Looks like it's still a coalition". Vian gave additional explanations.
"So, are they the ones who threatened the safety of my family?". Hendra confirmed the main purpose of this meeting.

Omnipocalypse Monsters(Shelved Timeline)
System Edit: This timeline has been shelved, but the adventures of the Omegas and her kids will continue in the next System Update Timeline with additional foes and challenges early on to guide the Omegas into a less destructive path of protection.The Omnipocalypse was every apocalypse humans ever imagined all happening at once, zombies, plagues, nukes, EMPs, Robot uprisings. Not just the earth either, It happened to every World ever dreamed up by men too: heaven, hell, and every other afterlife or spirit world ended, plus the worlds of books and stories bled into reality. It all broke apart and either; became new places on the chaotic Earth or part of the even messier spirit world. Magic beasts mutated by radiation, Robots mastering Magic, the mixture of everything made the horrors... well, more horrible. Omega; A young Woman with few memories wakes to find she has spent 2500 years in stasis, in a basement of scientific horrors. Creatures and Things that could supposedly destroy the world if ever let free. Horrors of which she was the last to get free. Rather then Quest for world domination or destruction; Omega keeps getting drawn into a protective role over other orphans, lost monsters, and broken AIs. So she decides to build something to help all her little monster family be safe. -------This story is meant to be a behind the scenes look at stories about kids solving problems that should be beyond them. I always wanted to see a story about Professor Oak, Dumbledore, or any other mentor who trains the main characters. I like the idea of someone looking at the apocalyptic world and deciding to make it safe enough that a small child can wander off and make some monster their pet. The pokemon games have fun systems to consider the behind the scenes workings of, like what training a team rocket member goes through to become a villain cut out for children to defeat. how they prevent a deific pokemon from accidentally murdering some little rat with its immense psionic power. However, the story itself is not really meant to be a pokemon parody, I draw inspiration from every genre of fiction, any type of game, this story is the only one I plan of ever writing without a clear cut ending planned, I love the infinite storytelling capacity of things like Doctor who's TARDIS, the Stargate or Rick's portal gun. In this case, I wanted the setting itself to be one where any and every story might happen. Cover Image by kalli gruen from Pixabay Discord Image by Digital Photo and Design DigiPD.com from Pixabay
