Return From God Quest
43. Jobs in Tanjung Tower

Feeling that nothing will be learned in school today, Karin decides to be absent and leaves school soon. The girl changed her appearance to Maiden, a figure so feared in the underworld.

Karin stared at the iron helmet for a moment, before finally putting it on.

“Time to work.”

***

Tanjung Tower's.

Maiden wearing her Maid appearance entered the lobby, every employee who saw the arrival of the iron helmeted woman immediately bowed respectfully. In return Maiden simply waved her hand.

In the eyes of other employees, the Maiden sodok looks so graceful. Although they could not see her face directly, they could imagine the beauty of the Maiden from her voice.

Maiden walked through the lobby, only a few employees she met on the way. That place feels quiet compared to a year ago.

Tanjung Tower in addition to being used as an office, the building also functions as a hotel and restaurant.

Five-star hotel and restaurant are classy, the place is so crowded by visitors. But after some problems involving Padar Dark makes Tanjung Tower customers increasingly declining.

All of that due to frequent terror attacks that cause people to question the security of Tanjung Tower. Several incidents of murder of Tanjung family employees also made things worse.

Maiden has tried hard to stabilize the situation, and arguably his efforts succeeded. The situation of Tanju Tower is safer now, there have been no more acts of terror over the past two months.

But still people are still afraid to visit Tanjung Tower or work there. If a company goes through such circumstances they may give up and choose to go out of business.

That is also what was predicted by observers, but until now Tanjung Tower still remains operational as usual. And although Rusdi Tanjung is no longer the fifth richest man, but he looks still strong financially.

As if nothing had been lost from the family, but its power grew even though it was still buried in darkness.

Not everyone could see the true strength of the Tanjung family.

“Maiden! You came early today.” Rusdi who was working in his room was so surprised to see the arrival of Maiden.

Maiden reasoned that if things became safer he did not have much work so he chose to return to Tanju Tower to serve his employer.

Rusdi was enjoying the tea Maiden made, he felt so relaxed and his strength recovered. “As usual, your homemade tea is always delicious.” praise Rusdi.

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Proficient at fighting and good at making good food that even rivals the best chefs. All the expertise Maiden has makes the figure look so perfect.

Rusdi thinks that Maiden used to work as the butler of a kingdom or something. But all that is still limited to assumptions there is never clear evidence.

‘Which kingdom will throw away a great power like him?.’

After serving tea, Maiden left the room.

“I'll see Madam.”

“Thank you for the tea, and for my wife must be bored right now because it continues in the room.”

Mrs Sayaka is currently pregnant with her second child. The age of the womb is even eight months, it is a critical period so it needs special attention.

Sayaka looks so happy to see the arrival of Maiden, it proves Rusdi's words if his wife is tired of being in the room.

Although there are many helpers and bodyguards keeping Sayaka from leaving the house, Rusdi is afraid that his wife will get an attack. Sayaka can only enjoy the fresh air outside when Maiden or her three students are at home.

A vast park, lighting in the park and scenery like being in the wilderness make everyone who is in it feel as if they have entered the open. But actually the place is still inside the Tanjung Tower.

Maiden gave me a massage on Sayaka who felt achy back, she also gave me herbs to relieve her stomach pain.

After drinking his meal, Sayaka asked,“You are really good at taking care of pregnant women like me, is it possible that Maiden has a family and has children?.”. Maiden did not immediately reply, she pensive for a moment as if recalling old memories.

“Yes, I've been. But it was a long time ago.”

Sayaka was so surprised when Maiden answered her question. Usually Maiden will not bring anything about him, whether it is his proposal or his past.

Sayaka wants to ask a lot of questions about the lucky man who became Maiden's husband, or how many children he has. The questions were not to find out the identity of the Maiden, but purely out of a woman's curiosity.

But seeing the silent Maiden made Sayaka reluctant to ask any further.

The two continue to enjoy a clear day together, although the sky above them is only an image of a super large screen, but both still enjoy the scenery because it is so reality.

Asami, Rayhan and Rasya return from school. They are greeted by Rusdi and Sayaka who want to hear the story of their first day at school.

“Maiden, you're also here!.”

The three were so shocked to see the whereabouts of Maiden. The arrival of Maiden originally aimed to train her three disciples a way to manipulate the magic energy that was beginning to appear in the world. But seeing the current atmosphere made Maiden choose not to.

At least after lunch.

The Tanjung family ate together with the food he prepared, seeing the family's happiness made Maiden remember his grandfather. He also sent a message to his grandfather not to forget lunch.

***

Outside the Tanjung Tower building.

“So this is the home of the young man?.”

Samuel, who was looking for his wand, led the young man to follow Rayhan. The same young man who had defeated him.

“Actually it is not right if you say the young man who has defeated me.”

Samuel recalled the figure of the girl who made him so upset. The girl known as Karin is able to fight Samuel to drain all magic energy.

“If a young man named Rayhan does not come, maybe..”.

Samuel shook his head to cast aside the shadow that he had been defeated by a human.

“No, they must be just the lucky bastards.” even though they have been defeated, Samuel still remains convinced if he is just being unlucky.

Samuel was about to infiltrate the Tanjung Tower building, but his steps stopped once entered a hundred meters from the skyscraper.

Samuel's sweat was pouring down, he felt a gaze with the same intimidation as his superior.

‘Who, who has such strong intimidation?.’

Samuel looked around, yet all he saw was ordinary humans, there was no sign of an angel like his master around.

“Is this possible for the demons?.”

Not finding the person who intimidated him, Samuel returned to his original plan. He again approached the Cape Tower but this time without caring about the intimidation he felt.

“Do not just dare to hide, if you want to fight then just go forward now.” said Samuel so confidently.

But his confidence soon vanished once he stepped foot at a distance of less than fifty meters. Samuel could not step up again, the pressure he felt was greater than his boss had ever given him.

‘Sial, what the hell is this intimidation. Is this place actually a Demon King castle?.’

Not strong enough to withstand the pressure coming from the Tanjung Tower building, Samuel also finally chose to return.

Meanwhile, from the seventy-floor Maiden stared at Samuel's departure.
