Chapter 55 Kris' Call

"Excuse me, you are the owner of this restaurant?"

Alex looked over to the girl who's asking.

Raising an eyebrow, he replied, "Yeah, is there a problem?"

Seeing Alex's reaction, the girl hurriedly waved her hands.

"Ah! No, no, no, I'm sorry for stopping you, I didn't know that you're the owner."

Alex shrugged, "It doesn't matter."

"Well, if you don't mind, I'll go in first."

After saying that, Alex started walking inside the restaurant followed by Ben.

After Alex left, the group of 4 outside were on their own.

With no one else around, they once again started talking.

"Jenny, that was the store owner, why didn't you say anything?"

Said one of the men with blonde hair.

Jenny, the one who talked to Alex sighed, "What am I supposed to say? Did you not feel the aura of that man?"

At this time, the other man with a clean cut black hair also said, "I felt his aura too."

"That man has quite a strong aura around him. I might not know him, but I'm sure he's someone with a high standing."

After he said that, the four fell into a momentary silence.

It was the other girl with twin tails who finally broke this silence.

She said, "Can we stop talking about that for now? Let's go eat first."

Then, without waiting for them to respond, she strode inside the restaurant.

When they saw that, Jenny and the two guys, Luther and Kent, looked at each other before letting out a helpless sigh.

"I guess Pam is right. We should go inside first and eat."

Jenny said before following the twin tails Pam inside.

With no other choice, Luther and Kent can only follow the two inside.

…

After Alex entered the restaurant, he told Ben that he will go to the third floor first and will wait for them to close the restaurant.

As for when to close, Alex told them that after serving the last group in lime outside, they can then close and rest.

Alex stood at the third floor or the rooftop.

Here, the cool breeze of the wind felt refreshing that Alex unconsciously took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he muttered, "I've really changed, huh…"

Shaking his head, Alex leaned on the railings and watched the setting sun from afar.

When the sun fully set and the sky darkened, the door to the third floor opened.

"Boss? Are you here?"

Don and Ben came to the third floor looking for Alex.

Without looking, Alex said, "Did you guys close the restaurant?"

When they heard his voice, Don and Ben hurried over to him and replied, "Yes, Boss. We already closed the store as you instructed."

"Good."

Alex nodded.

Then he turned around and faced the two of them.

Looking at them, Alex asked, "So, how was today's result?"

The two looked at each other before turning to look at Alex with a smile on their face.

Ben was the first one to say, "Boss, because our store was so popular, a lot of people came as you have already seen."

"Because of that, our total sales today is 2 gold and 40 silver coins!"

Hearing that, Alex was a bit surprised.

You have to know that, the average price of the products on the menu is only 8 bronze coins.

Although there are some products that cost higher than that, Alex still never thought that they can earn over 2 gold coins.

With a smile, Alex said, "All of you did well."

The smile on their faces became brighter thanks to Alex's praise.

Without beating around the bushes, Alex said what the two have been waiting for.

"Because you did well, as I promised, I will sponsor the both of you to activate your 'World System'."

Immediately, Don and Ben started cheering on the rooftop, jumping together because of their excitement.

"Yesss!!!"

"Woohoo!"

"We can finally become players!"

Alex just watched the two of them until they calmed down.

Then he said, "As soon as the church opens tomorrow, I will accompany the two of you there."

Suddenly, the two bowed to Alex and said, "Thank you very much, Boss!"

They genuinely felt grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

In their life, they never thought that they would someday be able to become players.

Because, even though they are thugs, they don't really earn that much.

Maybe Don have a small chance of someday activating his 'World System' and becoming a player since he's the Leader of the gang.

But Ben…

Anyway, they are really thankful to Alex who gave them a proper job as well as the chance to become a player.

"I am only giving you what I promised." Alex said.

With one last smile, he said, "See you tomorrow."

Suddenly, Alex disappeared in front of Don and Ben.

The next moment, Alex appeared back on Earth.

But before he even got the chance to rest, the phone in his pocket rang.

Ring~ Ring~

Alex took it and looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Kris.

"What's the matter with this girl? She's been calling me a lot of time in the past few days, huh."

Curiously, Alex picked up the call.

"Hey, Kris, what's the reason for you calling at this time in the night?"

On the other side of the call, Kris was surprised that Alex finally answered the call.

Then she remembered the reason why she called and hurriedly said, "Alex, you finally answered!"

Sighing, Kris said, "I've been trying to call you since morning since I have something that I want to talk about with you."

Hearing that, Alex looked at the screen on his phone and indeed there are 37 missed calls.

Alex can't help but become intrigued.

"Hmm? And what is this important thing that you want to talk about that you have to continuously call me again and again for the whole day?"

When Alex finally asked, Kris fell silent.

Hesitantly, she said, "Uhm, actually it's about my family and the reward that you took last time."
