Another plague outbreak? Protective gear, shipped straight to your door!

She helps him create a golden age of peace and prosperity. He helps her take down scumbags and put scheming women in their place, until she becomes the richest woman in the world.

When everything is finally settled, she thinks they’ll never meet again. But then he appears before her, ready to give up the world for her, holding the token she once gave him and demanding that she take responsibility.
