Chapter 50 Rewarding Those Who Worked

Since it was so busy right now all over the restaurant, Alex decided to not disturb thm for now.

Using [Stealth], Alex silently made his way to the underground floor, which is the labyrinth.

By the way, Alex had his hand placed on Ferri so that [Stealth] will also apply to him.

Anyway, silently, Alex and Ferri made their way to the labyrinth.

The entrance of the labyrinth is placed in the kitchen, in a hidden entrance Alex made.

Since Don was so busy plus because of Alex's unnoticeable movements, no one saw him.

Alex and Ferri successfully managed to slip into the labyrinth without attracting anyone's attention.

After arriving at the labyrinth, Alex started looking around inspecting the labyrinth he made.

The labyrinth actually consists of 3 levels.

Each one of them is very wide, just this first level where Alex can fit 2 basketball courts.

And it's only that big because that's the current maximum limit for the level 2 dungeon.

As for the other levels, let's talk about it when the time comes.

If not, Alex will probably make it even bigger.

Looking around, he let out a satisfied sound, "Whew~ I really did great in making this one, huh."

The first level of the labyrinth is a maze.

Alex plans to add a lot of traps and monsters here.

Also, it wasn't dark in this labyrinth even without light because the walls are covered with a special material called 'Glowing Moss'.

Anyway, Alex walked around the labyrinth for a while with nothing much in mind.

After waiting for quite some time, soon the clock hits 1pm.

Seeing that, Alex smiled and decided to head up.

"Lunchtime is over, there should not be that much people there now, right?"

With that thought in mind, Alex headed upstairs.

After he left the labyrinth and got back to the first floor, Alex saw Don, Ben, and the other guys sitting in the dining area.

There's also no more customers and the door of the restaurant is also closed at this time.

Alex walked towards them and said, "It seems like everyone worked hard, huh."

When they suddenly heard his voice, Don and the others snapped their heads in Alex's direction.

""Boss!""

Hurriedly, they stood up straight while looking at Alex attentively.

Alex waved his hand and said, "Everyone, sit down. I saw that you all worked very hard today, resting is understandable."

Since they are now his people, Alex will of course take care of them.

As long as they work honestly and never do something that will make Alex mad, he will cover them to some extent.

Hearing Alex's words, they looked at each other before hesitantly sat back down.

Seeing that, Alex smiled.

Then, he approached Don who had the most exhausted look within the group.

Patting his shoulder, Alex said, "Don, you did a really great job today."

"Even though I left abruptly, leaving the kitchen in your hands, you still managed to cook great food that attracted so many people."

"Because of that, you're worthy of a reward."

Don's tired eyes immediately lit up after hearing Alex's words.

With a wide smile, he hurriedly stood up again and loudly said, "Thank you, Boss!"

Watching all this, Don's men look at him with envious eyes.

"Wow, Boss Don is really lucky, the boss is going to reward him."

"Yeah, how nice if I can also be rewarded."

"Tch, why don't you try cooking great food and attracting a lot of customers for the restaurant? Boss will probably also reward you."

"Haa… don't even think about it. Back in my house, when I tried cooking, I almost burned the whole house."

"Wow, that's a talent on its own."

"Haha, well, I hope the Boss also rewards us someday."

…

The thugs talked among themselves, expressing their emotions to one another.

Alex did not pay attention to them.

At this time, he raised his head and looked at a guy at the corner most table.

Alex called him, "Ben, come here."

When they heard Ben being called, the other thugs turned their eyes in his direction at the same time.

Seeing this, Ben felt a little uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, he stood up from his seat and walked towards Alex.

"Boss, is there anything you need?"

"Ben, just like Don, you also haven't activated your 'World System', right?"

Ben nodded, "Yes, Boss."

After hearing his reply, Alex nodded and said, "Then today, after the store closes, we will compute how much we've earned."

"If the amount of money we got today reaches a sufficient number, I will give the two of you money to go to the church and activate your 'World System'."

"So try your best for today and earn as much as possible."

"Don't worry, this isn't what my promised reward is all about."

"After you two activate your 'World System', I will give it to you then."

After saying all that at once, Alex looked at Don and Ben who's now in a daze after listening to all that he said.

A couple of seconds later, the two snapped out of their stupor and looked at Alex with disbelief.

Don was the first to speak, he said, "B-Boss!"

"Did you just say that you will help us activate our 'World System'?"

"Is that for real, Boss?!"

Ben immediately followed, saying, "That's right, Boss!"

"Activating the 'World System' is very expensive. That's the reason why we haven't been able to activate ours even though we're already at this age!"

"Are you seriously telling us you will pay for it, Boss?!"

Alex turned his eyes to Ben and with a smile, he casually said, "That's why I'm telling you all to work hard."

"If the earnings today can reach the number that is enough to pay for the activation of your 'World System', then you two will get what you want."

Alex paused for a second before saying, "For me, the earnings don't really matter."

"All I truly wanted was for people to start coming to this place. That's all."
