Being called "my lady" stunned little Kaima. She almost didn't realize the phrase was ant for her.
After all, since childhood, the servants of the Seth family had always addressed her as "young master."
My lady?
Anyone who dared say that back then would probably have been erased from existence by Reigun Seth, who was obsessed with Kaima's gender.
In truth, Kaima herself didn't mind the term, especially now, in her younger form. She cared even less.
But the fact that the first ti she was ever called "my lady" was due to a misunderstanding… left her completely exasperated.
Ever since arriving in this bizarre place, her identity had been involuntarily tied to President Seto Kaiba of all people.
Just because their nas sounded slightly similar… why were these people so fixated on it?!
And now that she could finally et him, Kaima was determined to get a good look at this Kaiba Corporation president who kept making everyone assu he was her father.
Kaima commanded, "Hurry up and lead the way… What was your na again? Ah, right—Jinno! Move!"
Still bent in a bow, Jinno straightened at once. "Yes, my lady."
The air of command in her voice, so similar to President Kaiba's, only strengthened Jinno's conviction.
The girl before him was unmistakably the true heiress of KaibaCorp!
He beca even more respectful. Even when opening the elevator and inviting them in, he kept his posture slightly bent forward.
The elevator's destination: Basent Level One.
Abruptly, when Chi saw the illuminated floor indicator, she exclaid in confusion:
"Wait… your Basent Level One isn't the sa as the one I was thinking of!"
Chi had assud Jinno ant KaibaCorp's usual B1.
She had even wondered why President Kaiba would choose to et soone in the company's B1, which was normally just a public supermarket level.
Perhaps… to pick out a gift for his long-lost daughter?
A whole supermarket's worth of goods to choose from—your typical overbearing CEO pampering-his-daughter storyline. Chi wouldn't have minded seeing that.
Anyhow, clearly, she was overthinking it.
Because the button Jinno pressed was located below the known basent floors.
A hidden floor button that only appeared with a special ID card—beneath even Basent Level 5.
The true Basent Level One, far below B5.
Genuinely deep underground.
The elevator passed B5 and kept descending. The long drop felt like several minutes before they finally heard the soft ding of arrival.
This was Kaima's second elevator ride today. She had already grown used to the gravity shifts; no discomfort at all.
Only shut-in Aisha, who lived her entire life inside the Millennium Puzzle, looked absolutely miserable—ashen-faced, clinging weakly to Miles.
