Guards For The Princess

Chapter 7: Twenty Thousand Dollars

"I'm glad to meet you!" Arnold Ken knew exactly how much Angkara Adam valued this young man. Without much delay, after he verified his identity, he reached out to shake Ardian Prasetya's hand. "My name is Arnold Ken, President. I was just about to go to the station to pick you up. I didn't think you were here."

"No problem. After all I need to familiarize myself with the streets of the Southeast District. Ardian Prasetya smiled and shook Arnold Ken's hand. Ardian Prasetya is the type of person who will respect anyone as long as they respect him. However, when Arnold Ken who was much older than him became too polite, Ardian Prasetya instead became a little embarrassed. Especially when called Young Master, he felt guilty for accusing his Client of disrespecting him.

"The president is there. Please go through here. I'll take you to meet the President of Angkara." Arnold Ken then respectfully led the way. The two guards from before were now staring at the back of Ardian Prasetya with their mouths wide open.

"Seriously? That stupid face is the President's guest?" muttered the security guard. "Pak Ken personally came down to guide her. Can't be wrong!” The old guard heaved a sigh of relief, "We almost offended him. Fortunately Mr. Ken came before we kicked him out or we'll be in serious trouble."

As she was being guided by Arnold Ken, Ardian Prasetya noticed the somewhat chubby middle-aged man standing in the distance. Not wrong again, that person was the person he was looking for, the President of Angkara Murka Grub, Angkara Adam.

"You must be Ardian Prasetya?" When Angkara Adam saw Arnold Ken and Ardian Prasetya walking over, he hurriedly greeted him while extending his right hand.

Ardian Prasetya smiled and shook hands with Angkara Adam. Ardian Prasetya has no problem with social etiquette and he will treat people who treat him well with the same treatment. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Angkara."

Ardian Prasetya was overwhelmed by how genuine Angkara Adam was. This was the first time he had met such a sincere client. Even though he was required to carry out a certain mission, why would the President of one of the top companies treat him as an equal? This made Ardian Prasetya very curious.

"Young Master Prasetya, I know that you may feel troubled, because you have to lower your self-esteem to do this task," Angkara Adam said after hesitating for a while.

As the conversation with Angkara Adam grew more and more outrageous, even the thick-skinned Ardian Prasetya began to feel ashamed and said, "You're wrong Mr. Angkara, I'm not condescending to do this mission. The Eastern District no longer needs me. So, there is no need to bring up my position there because it is no longer useful now. I return to my old self now, a boy who weaves straw sandals to survive. After all, Grandpa Prasetya said that this mission reward could make me not worry about money matters anymore, it was good for me."

Ardian Prasetya thinks that his client this time is good. He was the one who paid him a high price to carry out the mission. But he still did it sincerely. Unlike some people who treated him as a disposable tool or even a selfish person who tried to kill him after he finished the mission.

"What's? Wedge straw sandals?" Angkara Adam was stunned. He carefully observed Ardian Prasetya, and wondered if he had mistaken him for someone else. What Ardian Prasetya had just said made him shocked. "Don't tell the elder Prasetya to have him weave straw sandals for money?" his inner. Angkara Adam is now silent. He had heard his father talk about the exploits of Ardian Prasetya. The mission reward in the Eastern District was recently supposed to amount to several hundred million dollars given the tremendous damage done by Ardian Prasetya.

"Twenty thousand dollars a month?" Ardian Prasetya was a bit surprised. He's paid monthly, which means it's missions related to escort, guarding, and the like that take a lot of time. This kind of mission is usually quite casual and requires only high professionalism to not miss a single leak at the time of care.

Ardian Prasetya was a little hesitant because his wages were very high. Reputable professional bodyguards are usually only paid about three thousand dollars a month. However, the thing that bothered him the most was something about the cost of school and Mr. Angkara's daughter.

Ardian Prasetya could not stand it. So, he asked, "Wait a minute, Mr. Angkara. Can you explain in advance what this mission is about?"

Seeing the look on Ardian Prasetya's face, Angkara Adam understood what was happening. "Did Elder Prasetya not tell the Young Master about the details? Then please pass by here, I'll explain the situation to you in detail upstairs." Angkara Adam smiled, and they walked side by side towards the elevator.

Ardian Prasetya has completed all sorts of strange missions over the past few years, although he is confused by what Angkara Adam said, he will not back down. He had often obtained missions with blurry and unclear information. So, even this time the mission should not be a problem.

Adam's Angkara is now his master, even the pay is high. So, while walking with Angkara Adam, Ardian Prasetya slowed down his pace for him to walk behind Angkara Adam. However, Angkara Adam also slowed his pace to match the steps of Ardian Prasetya.

Naturally, Ardian Prasetya noticed that and it shocked him. Why was Angkara Adam so friendly? Although Ardian Prasetya was very curious, he did not voice his question as this was their first meeting. They don't know each other yet. So, it would be awkward to ask such a question. But that's not a problem. Ardian Prasetya should be able to find the answer in the end.

Adam's Angkara office is on the top floor of the building. An area of approximately one hundred square meters, a large window covered one side of the room, causing the room to become brightly lit. After accompanying Angkara Adam and Ardian Prasetya to the office, Arnold Ken immediately went to instruct Erina Lim's secretary to get them a drink.

"Young Master Prasetya, what do you want to drink?" Erina Lim knew the last name of Ardian Prasetya from Arnold Ken before and she took the initiative herself to add Young Master in front of her name because she knew that even though Ardian Prasetya had a stupid face and was young, he must be someone special because he can enter this room.

"Ordinary water doesn't matter, does it?" Most of the time at home Ardian only drink water, so it becomes a habit that is difficult to let go.

Erina Lim paused for a moment and with a smile she said, "Sure, please wait." The reason why he did not ask the Chairman of Angkara was because he always drank the same drink every day. So, he was asked not to ask the same question and disturb the concentration of the President.
