Chapter 101 - Visiting Star Cafe

After he gave the low grade Null Fruits to Natalie, he stopped paying attention to her and started making something to eat.

Once done, he ate it with relish as the skills of a master chef was ingrained to every bit of food he made with the help of Omnipotent Villager.

When he finished his breakfast, he just told Natalie he's going out before leaving in his car.

Inside the car, Nathan looked quite relaxed while driving with one hand.

On the radio, an old song is playing.

"With my strength now, I'll at least have the confidence even if the Star Cafe really has someone who has a magical profession."

Last night, Nathan was worrying about how he'll face the opponent.

But now, he was finally able to let go of that worry and his chest feels lighter.

While thinking of such things, Nathan continued driving and soon arrived at the Mountain's Fragrance Cafe.

There, he saw Joseph again, waiting for him.

Lowering the window, Nathan poked his head out and signaled to him, "Hey, Joseph, get in. We'll talk as you guide me there."

"Okay, Boss!"

He entered Nathan's car and sat in the passenger seat.

Turning his head at him, Nathan asked, "Where is it?"

"It's not far from here, Boss. Just a few blocks away."

Saying that, he pointed the directions to Nathan and it did not take long for them to arrive at their destination.

The Star Cafe!

Standing there with a magnificent signboard with a bright yellow star in it, nobody could possibly miss it if they are passing by here.

Parking the car at the side of the road a few meters away from the store, the two just sat there and observed the Cafe while talking about a few things.

"So this is Star Cafe, huh." Nathan said as he scanned the cafe.

"Yes, Boss." Joseph nodded, "Although they are newly opened, because of their great advertising and good promos, a lot of people are going to their place."

Just like what Joseph said, Nathan saw a lot of people come and go at the cafe, obviously, their marketing strategy worked.

But Nathan shook his head disapprovingly, "No, those customers probably won't be coming back again after their visit though."

"Huh? What makes you say that, Boss?" Joseph asked confusedly,

Based on his experience as a manager of a coffee shop for a long time, getting this kind of attention makes him think that the cafe will surely become successful.

Pointing at the customer coming out of the door this time, Nathan said, "Look at their faces. All those that came out of that door had the same ugly look, they obviously didn't like the experience they got from this cafe."

Hearing that, Joseph's eyes lit up and he started to pay attention to each person's face.

"Yeah, what you said makes so much sense!"

Before, all he was paying attention to was the flow of customers and not the reactions because he was used to sitting behind a desk and just doing paperworks.

But Nathan, who's been exposed to all kinds of jobs, learned to observe the reaction of each customer for the sake of his job.

Because of their different experience, Nathan was able to see more compared to Joseph.

Joseph started to admire Nathan a little bit more because of this small incident.

A couple of minutes passed with them just sitting in the car, when suddenly Joseph exclaimed.

"Oh! Boss, that's the owner of the Star Cafe!"

Hurriedly calling Nathan, he pointed at a chubby man who seemed to be in his 30's with a big beer belly, wearing a white floral shirt, entering the cafe at this time.

Turning his eyes at that man, Nathan used appraisal to see his details.

[Name: Morong Gonzales

Physique: 2 (Tier 1) | Spirit: 5 (Tier 1)

Soul Talent: Slippery (Tier 1)

….

A lot of information was shown to him when he used the appraisal like the fact that the Star Cafe owner has actually awakened his soul talent while others are those things that made him mad and disgusted.

When he saw the crimes that Gonzales committed, Nathan felt angry for some reason.

Feeling the sudden shift in Nathan's mood, Joseph turns to see his face and immediately chooses to shut up.

Because right now, Nathan's expression is so icy cold that anyone who sees it might start shivering from fright.

Without saying anything else, Nathan got out of his car and proceeded to walk towards the cafe, intending to follow Gonzales.

"Oh, no! Boss!"

Joseph was not able to stop him on time and can only choose to follow him inside the cafe.

Inside the cafe, Nathan saw the people inside drinking their coffee but he did not pay attention to anyone.

He entered the cafe out of impulse and now he doesn't know what to do.

Earlier, the only thing running on his mind was to eliminate Gonzales but thinking about it, how is he supposed to get rid of him in broad daylight.

Not knowing what to do, he stood there for a while, dazing as he thought of what he should do.

Just right on time, Joseph came in from the door and walked towards him.

Once they were close to each other, he whispered, "Boss, what are you doing!? Why did you suddenly enter? I thought we would be observing until the afternoon?"

Nathan originally told him on the way to the Star Cafe that they should observe for a while and see if they could spot the one who made the cursed bell last time.

But now here he is, ruining the plan!
