out of control

Chapter heading: The revolt in the old quarter

The old quarter is in turmoil...

Jonas felt his blood pressure shoot up when he heard this.

He leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his temples to soothe the effects of the news.

Although he had expected the incompetence of his subordinates, Jonas had never thought that...

that his fully armed special forces would be defeated by the rag-tag bunch under his command.

So in the original story, his only effective agent was just Esni?

Jonas resisted the urge to curse out loud, took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

Stay calm, stay calm.

The fact that these gang members dared to attack the people of the Wei Ting Consortium and start such a big riot was mainly due to the annoying former protagonist of the game.

They were overpowered, it's normal that his men couldn't defeat them.

Jonas comforted himself in this way as he watched the real-time feedback from the Old Guard, feeling a little uncomfortable.

As the Wei Ting Consortium's largest reserve base for the production of medical equipment, any loss of control here would inevitably result in significant damage to the consortium.

It might even affect his future entry into the Wei Ting Consortium's board of directors.

Jonas' expression darkened at these thoughts.

He dialed the communication device again, and a woman's voice answered.

"Mr. Jonas, what are your orders?"

"Prepare to assemble a tactical team of about twenty people and come to Ellison Tower to pick me up"

"Yes, I will follow your orders."

...

Jonas tapped lightly on the glass tabletop, as the elevator had long since reached the top floor.

The elevator doors opened slowly with a soft noise and a good-looking woman with short, well-groomed hair stood in front of him.

She was dressed in a suit, her figure was slim and petite, she wore glasses with round frames and held a stack of documents in her arms.

"Mr. Jonas, I've gathered all the information about the gangs in the old town for you."

Her voice was cold and devoid of emotion.

She had tucked her inky hair behind her ear and her blonde neck looked very seductive.

Jonas looked at the young woman in front of him and unconsciously, information about her came to his mind.

"Steward" Eiffel Margarita.

To be precise, Eiffel could be described as one of the few employees left behind by Jonas' late father.

As one of the few loyalists, she already showed exceptional talent in personnel management at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Most people's impression of her was also "a management machine who hardly ever made mistakes"

Her calm thinking and rational mindset made her outstanding in many ways.

This also made her one of the youngest members of the Wei Ting Consortium management team.

However, Miss Eiffel did not particularly appreciate Jonas, the original owner...

In the original story, she often ignored the instructions of the original owner and acted on her own.

It's worth noting that while Miss Eiffel disobeys Jonas, the difficulty of romancing her in the game can definitely be described as nightmarish.

Compared to the absurd number of branching storylines for other characters, there are very few branches for the romance with Eiffel.

And even if you do romance her, she basically doesn't join the rebellion against the Wei Ting Consortium, making her one of the few trustworthy employees.

Unfortunately, this "steward" Eiffel Margarita rarely has a good ending.

Either she goes down fighting with the rebels against the Wei Ting Consortium, or she ends her life in depression after being seduced due to the loyalty dilemma.

Of the employees who frequently appear in the game, Miss Eiffel can be said to be the most exemplary employee.

But this best employee often falls into the hands of Jonas, whom she serves, in most of the endings.

At the thought of this, Jonas felt the urge to punch the original owner.

Serves you right for being betrayed by the rebels.

Eiffel placed the documents in front of Jonas and then took two steps back to look calmly at the very young heir to the Consortium.

She knew, of course, about the chaos in the old quarter and why Jonas had summoned her here.

So she had gathered all the information about the old quarter beforehand.

It must be said that communicating with capable subordinates is effortless; he just gave a few orders, and she did most of the business for him.

Jonas looked up at Eiffel and was about to say something, but when he felt her calm gaze, his joy evaporated and he quickly realized the current situation.

The girl in front of him was not entirely loyal, and subordinates who doubted the controller could be deadly under certain circumstances.

And his immediate priority was to dispel this doubt.

After a moment's thought, he spoke:

"Prepare a carriage for me; I will personally go to the old quarter."

When Eiffel heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise and he hesitated.

After all, this young man named Jonas seemed unable to control the situation in their eyes, and going to the Old District now was very risky.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded anyway.

If she went along, she would sneak back defeated in the worst case scenario.

It wouldn't be bad if Mr. Jonas assessed her abilities.

After all, one should be self-aware, which was one of the tasks the late master had entrusted her with.
