Chapter 45 - Fisk

Two months later, it is the last week of February. The temperature is still chilly this day because of the winter. Many of the people still wearing a jacket, some of them aren't like they are used to this kind of weather.

The restaurant of mine is still booming so far. In the past two months, our restaurant made it into a four-star restaurant. It's really impressive how I made this far. We have even made three more franchises in our restaurant business throughout the country.

I made an expansion to our business, not just it's restaurant but also making new spices and new in this world dishes that ever been made, and only I can make it happen. We gain a lot on this and maybe our business may able to produce this new strategy of mine.

I have already predicted that our restaurant may get bigger. Not just I'm confident on it but also what we call it, expansion of the business. In making business, you don't need to be content on what your business offering it may cause a stagnant.

Just like everyone says that business is just like a game whether you move recklessly or tactically.

In the restaurant.

It's already close for customers, only employee left in the scene. I was in my office looking at the statistics on my computer.

Flat-screen monitor still not existing on stores so we just buy those big monitors since it's late 2000's and the worst part about this thing is, the processor speed is so goddamn slow.

*tak* *tak* (keyboard noises)

Me: wow! Amazon is still not yet made on the networking sites. From what I remember, the first amazon was launch in 1997 by Jeff Bezos.

I was pondering for a bit why it's so different, 'is it because I'm in deferent world?'

"Then what about Mark Zuckerberg the maker of Facebook? Isn't a big opportunity for me to pass this up?" I said in low voice

Making this thing can be difficult. Maybe I should work hard on programming mastery skill. Mastery on programming in early periods may easy but not in later years.

In just a few years from now on, the technology will rise in many degrees. I just can't idly on here and rot those useful memories in past life.

Me: I should start working the next day on it. It's not because I have much more stamina on those ordinary people many fold but I can be mentally tired each day.

I click on the power off button of the computer. While I just waiting for it to close down, I heard a knock on the door.

*knock* *knock*

Me: it's open! You can go inside

I saw the Jenny opened up the door, she's looking scared.

Me: what is it, Jenny? Is there something wrong?

Jenny: uhh… someone wants to see you ken

Jenny: it's just that their looks even their how they suit up they look intimidating!

Then she stops for a bit with a hesitation.

Jenny: Ken did you do something wrong? Why are they looking for you?

Hearing how she describe I already the gist of it on who they are. I stand up on my chair and walk into her. I pat her shoulders and saying…

Me: I see thanks for the hard work Jenny, you can go home and rest now. I have something to do with them.

Jenny: then I go home first… you better be careful Ken.

As she walks away from the room saying her goodbye.

Me: now then… so he's making a move in two months? That weird for him to do something like this.

I walk out of my office. I saw guys with a suit around 20. There a person who's literarily sitting on the table with a serious look on his face. He's well-built body more like a bouncer if I describe him. He's wearing a white hat and white suit complemented to his aura.

When a person has a suit, they make an aura make makes them who they are. From what I can see this guy, he's intimidating for any ordinary people.

I walk into them with a smile on my face saying.

Me: gentleman, what can I do for you?

???: anything will do, I heard throughout the city that you're a great cook?

Me: hahaha… (I chuckled) thanks for the compliment, sir! Now then can you wait for a few minutes will you?!

???: go on…

I prepared all the ingredients for the dish. I cook the dish fluidly without stopping and precise skills of a high-class professional cook. They can't see how I cook since I'm in the kitchen.

*shhh*

The noise of the dish making a sound throughout the restaurant.

On the other side, the person waiting patiently and his subordinates come next to him whispered in his ears and said.

???: sir… should we take on that guy? I didn't see him as an extraordinary person.

???: you don't know anything about that guy. I even lost a great money to know his existence but what I discovered all those external information about him are fake, most of them are classified.

???: wait you mean, you don't know anything about this guy?

He didn't answer his question and just keep staring at the kitchen.

While I was doing his dish, I even heard that they talk about me. They even want to know about my information about me.

Me: 'are these guys moron? You will have to thank the government that they didn't arrest you! We are talking about shield organization! Even a great hacker I know in marvel is traced by them. Whatever, do what they will do!'

In just 20 minutes waiting, I serve it to them.

Me: here's your dish, sir.

???: a wonton soup huh? The smell is not bad, I hope it the taste is to my liking.

When he tasted it, he's not complimenting or anything to say. He is just there eating silently.

???: mmm… not bad! (he stop from eating and said) so let's get to the point, shall we?

I sat in front of him and said,

Me: talk, what is it? And oh, can I know your name, sir?

???: Fisk… Wilson Fisk. Have you heard that name before?

I already knew he's Wilson Fisk also known as "Kingpin" in the underground world. A wealthy and powerful businessman in New York City.

Me: mmm… that ring a bell! Your Fisk industries do have a reputation here in New York City… some of them are, you know… rumor around here.

He looks at me strangely, his eyes trying to know what I am thinking.

Fisk: you are something aren't you? Even hearing and knowing me as the big boss around here, I didn't feel any nervousness in your eyes instead those are the eyes those who see through me.

Me: well… you can't judge by its cover. So why would the big boss come in here in this little restaurant of mine?

Fisk: I see… straight to the topic. What I want in here is that two-person who's hiding in your place, I you want money I can give you at least $500,000 each person. I can give you something in the business world if want, so what do you say?

Rescue the witnesses by those mafia. If the player tries to not to complete the quest, you will lose all your skills.

Try to find more information on why Fisk is still finding those witnesses. The host needs to comply with it tomorrow to know what situation are they in.]

Me: mmm… tell me, why would the big boss is so desperate to have those two? From what I heard from sources, it about gold, is it?

Fisk: you don't need to know about that boy. So tell me, will give me those two?

Me: let me rephrase it again Mr. Fisk. I would give those two if you tell me why would you need those two?

We can tell that Fisk's face is getting annoyed by playing with me. The spoon he's holding bend it to 90 degrees.

Fisk: stop playing games with me Mr. Cruz!

Me: but you started it aren't you? (I said to him nonchalantly)

Fisk: what I think what made you dangerous Mr. Cruz is that being sly. I'm glad we could talk this time. The next time we meet, I can't guarantee your life. See you next time Mr. Cruz!

He stands up while fixing his suit, looking at the surroundings while mumbling 'such a waste…you do have a talent in cooking'.

Before he walks indoor, I shouted at them and said.

Me: stop right there!

One of the lackeys maybe didn't take it anymore and wanted to rush at me but he was stopped by Fisk.

Me: aren't you forgot to pay Mr. Fisk? Don't tell me, the big boss in New York didn't pay his tab and just walk away like that?

One of the lackeys take his wallet and throw the cash in the air and said to me while smirking.

Lackeys: here's the bill *sshole!

They left me alone, still sitting at the table and thinking what's my next move. I was distracted but I was able to know someone is peaking at us when I was talking to Fisk. I opened up my mouth and shouted.

Me: you can come out now! Fisk is not here anymore Mr. Green.
