Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 330

“I see…” I mumbled.

“It’s just like any service provider company. The company has sales, marketing, accounting, and all that,” Queen explained as we talked along a long corridor.

I could see endless rows of office desks and their busy owners working away. I never knew that an agency handing mercenary missions was run out of a regular office like this. Frankly, I found the whole thing very surprising but very interesting.

After we were done with the office building tour, Queen drove me quite far from the city center. We stopped at a large set of buildings surrounded by a thick forest. I looked around at the building and the surrounding thick trees when we got out of the car.

“This place is huge…” I mumbled to myself in amazement.

“This is the training facility and training grounds. Agents employed by the agency train here for their missions. Just like what you see in the spy movies,” Queen announced proudly.

“Wow…” I said in complete amazement.

“I’m sorry but we can’t go in and see everything because most parts have restricted access, but I can show you enough so that you get the general idea of what happens in there,” Queen said before motioning for me to follow her inside.

The training facility was large, and it was a good idea on Queen’s part not to show me everything because it would have needed more time than we had. However, she did give me a very good general idea just as she had promised. There was everything in there from shooting ranges, obstacle courses, a swimming pool, weapon storages and other facilities that I didn’t know much about.

“The forest here next to the training facility is also used as a training ground for outdoors training and battle simulations. Precisely because of that, we’re not allowed to wander this forest without prior clearance. You could end up shot or killed and things like that…” Queen explained casually.

We got back in the car where we would be heading to the final destination of our tour. By that time, it was already late in the afternoon and the sun was about to set. The excitement of the trip ate up quite a lot of my energy and I found myself feeling a little tired as I sat next to Queen in the passenger seat of her car.

“Just one more destination. I’m sure you’ll find this place entertaining. It’s my favorite as well,” Queen said merrily.

It was quite a long drive considering that the training facility seemed to be out of everyone’s way. Queen drove us back closer to the city center and I found myself in the middle of what looked like the entertainment district. Sure enough, it was as Queen had said, this place was entertaining.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to my favorite bar!” Queen announced proudly as she dragged me by the hand along after her.

It was clear that Queen came here a lot because so many people knew her and greeted her. Bars, restaurant, shopping malls, shops and stalls lined both sides of the long road. Since the sun had set by this point, all the light decorations and signs were on, and it served as a very impressive display.

“Most of the people living on this island and employed by the agency are men. Well, we’re not being sexist but that’s just the nature of the job. There are women who work in the office roles though. Then there are women who work here in the entertainment district,” Queen explained as we walked along.

“I see…” I said.
