Bridgemoor City, Audaz District, Origin Restaurant.
On the fourth floor of the Origin Restaurant, in his office, Felix sat behind the desk with a smirk on his face. He was now rich, with over five million gold coins in his possession.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, but system, isn't it about time the mission is complete?" Felix said to the system.
"Host, what mission is that?" the system asked, sounding confused.
"What do you mean, which mission? Of course, the mission that states I have to earn five million gold coins in one month. I've already completed it, why haven't I seen any notification for the completion of the mission?" Felix said in a speechless tone.
"No, Host, you haven't completed the mission yet," the system said.
"What do you mean? Haven't I already earned five million?" Felix was puzzled.
"Host, it seems you didn't listen to the details of the mission very well. Let me explain it to you simply. The mission really means that you have to earn five million gold coins in a month from the dishes that the restaurant sells to customers," the system said.
"So you mean the four million gold coins compensation I received from Sigurd and Seraphine is not part of the mission?" Felix asked.
"Yes, Host, the money extorted is not part of the mission," the system said.
"What do you mean extort? I was just asking for compensation, okay, that's not extortion," Felix retorted.
"But can't you make an exception? I already have a million gold coins, huh?" Felix said softly to the system.
"No, Host, you have to complete the mission panel. Besides, with how the restaurant is earning five million gold coins in a month, it's a piece of cake," the system said.
"Damn, I was so excited for nothing," Felix muttered through gritted teeth.
He had thought that extorting two million gold coins from Sigurd and three million from Seraphine Netherfrost would be enough to complete the mission.
Taking a deep breath, he paused to collect his thoughts.
The system was correct - with the restaurant's current popularity, earning five million gold coins in a month shouldn't be too difficult.
Plus, he had already earned over two million gold coins from the restaurant.
Felix shook his head,he have plenty of time to complete the mission.
The restaurant was finally on the right track, with no major issues for now. As long as everything continued to operate normally, everything would be fine.
Plus, with the added protection of the newbie Tier 9 Forbidden Knight in Bridgemoor City, Felix felt completely safe. All that was left was to increase his personal strength and put his plans into action.
---------------------------
In the Edel District of Bridgemoor City, inside the Morningstar Mansion, it was already late at night. The three huge silver moons hung high in the sky, surrounded by twinkling stars that shone like diamonds.
Inside the mansion Felix was in a large study room with Trinity, Gwendolyn, Zephyr, Brixton, and Nixie. They were all gathered around a table with a detailed map of Brigdemoor City on the table.
Felix studied the map, his eyes narrowing with a cold glint. He was surprised by the size of Bridgemoor City, considering it was just one of the most remote and smallest cities in the Kingdom.
"Big bro, why did you gather us all here?" Nixie's voice interrupted Felix's thoughts.
Felix looked around at the puzzled faces of his companions.
"And with your current strength, taking control of both the territories of the Fire Gang and the Smoke Gang is easy," Felix added confidently.
Zephyr paused for a moment, considering Felix's words. If taking control of the previous territories of both the Fire Gang and the Smoke Gang was what he had to do now, then it seemed quite manageable for him.
"Good," Felix nodded approvingly. "After you have secured control of these territories, you can begin expanding your influence to other areas in the slums. But the first thing you must do is cultivate a network of information personnel. We need to have our ears and eyes everywhere in Bridgemoor City to stay ahead of any developments."
"Understood, big bro," Zephyr nodded in agreement.
"As for how to take control of the slums, I trust you know what to do. You must act swiftly and decisively, taking control within three months, and if someone stands in your way, you know what to do" Felix said coldly, locking eyes with Zephyr.
Zephyr solemnly nodded, understanding Felix words.
Turning to Trinity and Brixton, Felix addressed them with the same seriousness. "Trinity, Brixton, here's what I need you two to do."
Both Trinity and Brixton looked to Felix, awaiting his instructions.
"I want you two to go to the Adventures Guild and register yourselves as adventurers," Felix instructed.
"Wait, you want us to become adventurers?" Trinity asked, puzzled.
"Yes, I want you both to become adventurers. And once you do, don't keep a low profile. Become well-known in the Adventurer District by raiding dungeons regularly. Aim for at least three dungeons every ten days, ensuring success each time. Start with dungeons that match your current strength level.
And once you rank up and meet the requirements, establish an adventurer team quickly," Felix explained, laying out the plan for their next steps.
" Understood "Felix gazed at Trinity and Brixton.
Both of them nodded in understanding.
" Big bro why do you want us not to keep a low profile and instead we should be high profile as possible?" Brixton asked confused.
Felix chuckled and replied, "Once you reach the Adventurer Guild, you'll see why."
Brixton scratched his head, still unsure.
" Big bro what about me and big sis Gwendolyn?" Nixie hurriedly raised her hand and asked.
Felix glanced at them, " For now you two will be managing the restaurant?".
Nixie's eyes sparkled with excitement, imagining the piles of gold coins she would soon be counting,her saliva dripped down the corner of her mouth.
Felix shook his head at Nixie's enthusiasm, knowing her thoughts were consumed by wealth.
" Gwendolyn make sure you look after her " He instructed Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn nodded faintly in agreement.
" What about you big bro? What are you doing to do?" Zephyr asked.
Felix smirked mischievously, teasing, "Me? Well, hehehe..."
