Punishment

Lex smiled, seeing the frantic actions of the fat enforcer.

[So you're being molested by a fat man now? Didn't think you have such hobbies.]

'Fuck!!' Only now Lex realized how the fat enforcer was touching him everywhere to search for whatever he had dropped in his pocket.

"Hey, officer, I think it's enough, right? You won't find anything." Lex said, trying to look as uncomfortable as he could; well, he was uncomfortable.

[Hmm, you were having fun there, heh.]

'Fuck you! Believe me, the day I manage to manifest you into a physical body, I'll spank your ass with a whip.'

[Sadly for you, that's not possible because of heavenly principles. Also, I'm not into BDSM stuff.]

Lex then wholly ignored the system. 

The fat enforcer realized what he was doing and backed away. His face was still laced with confusion; he still couldn't understand what had actually happened. 

Lex made his clothes proper again and said, "Then can we leave, officer?"

The Fat Enforcer nodded his head absentmindedly. 

"You guys are working so hard in the morning; I can't do much, but please, at least let me give you a hug." Lex smiled and said, and then, without waiting for an answer, gave a huge to the fat enforcer.

"O-Oh, it's nothing much. We're just doing our duty." The Fat Enforcer replied, bewildered by Lex's actions. Did the citizens really view The Enforcers in such a way? 

Lex patted the fat man's back and then withdrew himself. He then faked an apologetic look and said, "Ah! Sorry, but it looks like while I was hugging, I pressed whatever stuff you have in your shirt's pocket."

The Fat Enforcer got confused. He didn't have anything in his pocket, so what was this guy saying. Curious, he checked his pocket, and his eyes went wide open. 

"Thanks for your services to the Kingdom, Officer; we'll be going then," Lex said as he again sat on his bike. He turned to Elle and said, "Let's go."

Elle nodded and sat on the bike. Lex once again smiled at the stunned Fat Enforcer and rode past the cars.

After they were far away from the Enforcers, Elle couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Why did you let him go so easily?"

"Because he's an Enforcer, and a Lieutenant was there," Lex replied.

Elle misunderstood and asked, "Want my help?"

Lex laughed hearing Elle's question and said, "I'm not afraid of them, Elle. There are some reasons I didn't do anything there. First of all, because he's an Enforcer. And that alone tells you how troublesome things could get."

"Besides, there was also the Lieutenant there. I'm hoping they would do something about that Fat guy, considering the clues I've left. You have to know there are only 13 Lieutenants in the whole Enforcers, each and every one of them being powerful individuals." Lex said.

"So you're betting on that Lieutenant?" Elle asked.

"More like I'm too lazy to deal with that guy; if that Lieutenant did their work honestly, then that fat guy would be punished for trying to frame me," Lex replied.

"And if he doesn't? You're going to let him go?" Elle asked.

"Hell Nah! I'm a petty person, you know. If Enforcers doesn't punish him, then I'll have to take matters into my own hands." Lex said in a confident tone.

Elle nodded and didn't continue on the topic. The rest of the journey was peaceful, and they soon reached the city. This was just one of many entrances to the city. Still, due to being connected to the commercial district, Enforcers were stationed there for checking.

But the checking was mainly for four-wheelers and oversized vehicles. For a biker like Lex, there was a separate line at the corner of the road, which was empty.

Lex went through that line, and an enforcer again stopped him. This time just for the driving license. The officers checked, and seeing the card Lex gave him, he respectfully nodded at him and let him pass.

Finally entering the busy and bustling commercial district of the capital city, Lex had to slow down his bike. He quickly manoeuvred through the streets as Elle guided him to her company's headquarters.

A few months ago, Elle had transferred her Stark Corporation's headquarters back to her home country. It was all because of her grandfather; he was getting old and missed his homeland, so Elle directly transferred her headquarters here.

Finally, they reached a tall skyscraper that had a significant plaque with "Stark Corporation" written on the top.

Elle stepped down from the bike and said, "Thanks for the ride; I'll go from here."

"Won't you invite me in?" Lex asked.

"You want to come inside? Sure, but I have work to do, so you'll just have to roam around the company." Elle said.

Lex shook his head and said, "Then never mind, I'll come when you're free. I'll go then. Bye."

"Bye!" Elle bid farewell and entered the building. Lex also started his bike and rode away to his new destination.

But he didn't notice that he was being watched by some figures sitting in a car a little distance away.

It was a blue luxury car that was parked at the side of the road, and anyone sitting inside would be able to have a complete view of the Stark Corporation from the front.

Inside the car, three figures were sitting and looked at Lex's fleeting silhouette. One of them gritted his teeth and said, "How dare he try to get close to Miss Elle. Young Master, want me to follow him?"

The figure sitting in the backseat, a man in his twenties with short blue hair who had a noble aura around him, waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. We won't do anything for now, first, find his information for me. Who is he, and what's his background? I want everything."

"But young master..." The man sitting in the driver's seat tried to protest, but the blue-haired man shut him up. "Just do as I say."
