After school ended, Alex hurriedly left and hailed a taxi.
"Sir, please head to Royal Mall." Alex said to the driver.
"Okay, sir."
The taxi started and Alex leaned on the backseat.
The reason why he's heading to Royal Mall is to buy the necessary things for the restaurant.
Alex plans to fix the restaurant today and open it tomorrow.
As for advertising, Alex already has a thought on what he's going to do.
In Kupido Town, Blade Gang's Hideout.
Don who's sitting in his office suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Looking around, a wary look appeared in his eyes.
"... What the hell was that?"
After not finding anything, only then did Don drop his guard.
…
Alex arrived at the Royal Mall not even 10 minutes later.
After paying the taxi, Alex stepped out and walked inside the mall.
Since Alex is not that familiar with the stores in Royal Mall, he went towards an inquiry desk.
"Hello, sir. Do you need help with anything?"
The female staff greeted him.
Alex nodded and said, "Yes, uhm… I don't know where I can buy things needed for a restaurant?"
"Can you be specific, sir? Is it for the kitchen or the dining area?"
"Ah, I need everything. Things for the kitchen as well as the dining area and other places." Said Alex.
The staff nodded, "Okay, sir, I understand."
"I will give you a list where you can buy the things that you need. Please wait a moment."
She grabbed a pen and paper under her desk and started writing down some things.
Once she's done, she handed it to Alex and said, "Here's the list, sir. I also wrote the location for each store."
Alex took the list and started reading it.
After a while, he lifted his head, looked at the lady staff and said his thanks.
The lady just smiled and responded, "It is no problem, sir. Please have a good time shopping!"
Alex waves his hand and leaves the inquiry desk.
Looking at the paper in his hands, Alex headed towards the nearest store around him.
After walking for 3 minutes, Alex saw his target store just up ahead.
It was a furniture shop called 'The Classics'.
Just as Alex entered, he saw a large variety of furniture such as tables, chairs, beds, etc.
With just one look, Alex can see that the furniture is really well made.
With a smile, he said, "That lady's suggestion is really good. This is a great shop to buy the furniture for my restaurant."
Alex started walking around, looking at the different tables and chairs since those are the things he needs for the restaurant.
While Alex was wandering through the store, no salesman or sales lady approached him.
Maybe it's because of his age, people didn't really think that he's here to buy something.
After a while, Alex finally found something he liked and called for a saleslady nearby.
"Uhm, excuse!"
With a polite smile, the saleslady approached and asked, "Yes, how may I help you?"
Pointing at the furniture that he wants and saying, "I want this, this, that, and that, please help me process it."
The saleslady didn't respond immediately and stared at those items that Alex pointed out.
After a while, she turned her eyes back to Alex and asked, "Are you going to buy all that, sir?"
Alex looked at her with confused eyes and said, "Huh? Of course, I'm buying them!"
Finally, the sales lady snapped to reality and hurriedly said, "Ah! Then I will immediately help you, sir!"
After that, the saleslady left Alex alone for a while and went to the stockroom to bring the furniture that he picked.
Alex sat down and relaxed as everything was being processed.
10 minutes later, Alex successfully bought the things he wanted and walked out the store.
Since Alex bought quite a lot, it will be hard to bring it all back home on his own using normal means so he decided to just ask them to deliver it to his house.
Anyway, now that he bought the necessary furniture for the restaurant, next, he needs to buy the kitchen tools and a few other things.
Thus, with great enthusiasm, Alex went to the next store listed on the paper.
After that, Alex went through one store after another, buying all the things that he deemed necessary.
One hour later, Alex finished buying everything.
Since he can't bring it by hand, it was all made to be delivered to his house.
By the way, Alex also bought all kinds of meats, vegetables, fruits, and condiments.
Once he got everything, Alex left the mall and rode a taxi back home.
Just as the taxi arrived outside his house, Alex saw a truck with 'Royal Mall' sign on it.
"Nice, the things I bought have also arrived!"
Alex paid the fare and stepped out of the taxi.
Outside the truck, there is already a mall staff waiting for Alex.
So when he saw him, he immediately approached Alex.
He said, "Sir, all of your things are inside the truck!"
Alex nodded, "Good, please help me put all of it down."
"Okay, sir!"
The staff called another person inside the truck and they started carefully putting Alex's things on the ground.
When they finished, Alex gave them some money and they left.
"Now then, I should put all of this in my inventory first."
One by one, Alex placed his items in his inventory.
It didn't take long before he's done.
"I finally got everything in my inventory, now it's time for me to fix the restaurant."
Not wanting to waste more time, Alex went straight to the Alter Dimension.
The next second, Alex appeared inside the Lucky Dungeon.
But before he even did anything, he heard a loud knocking on the door.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
"Where's the owner of this place? Come out!" Said a man in a harsh tone.
Hearing that voice, Alex raised an eyebrow, "Hmm, that voice… is it Ben?"
Alex opened the door and just as he expected, he saw Ben standing outside.
However, he's not alone.
Behind him, a group of thugs with imposing attitudes were following.
Then, when Alex opened the door, a man with a slightly different aura came to the front and faced Alex.
While puffing a smoke, the man looked directly into Alex's eyes and said, "So, are you the one that killed my men?"
