Sofia felt nervous when she heard Arlan's words. "Is it that serious? They wouldn't kill someone in broad daylight, right?"
Hearing this, Arlan sneered in his heart. As someone who had received the experience of a super soldier, he knew about the dark side of humanity. He sighed and shook his head as he muttered. "You don't know what a criminal is capable of doing. A boss of a drug cartel like Leandro only values money and his reputation. Although we didn't besmirch him openly, our actions had already offended him. If you guys go out, his subordinates would certainly capture you if given the chance."
Sofia was terrified by his words. If they were captured by Leandro's men, who knows what kind of torture they would receive? "My dad is still in the hospital. Will he be fine?" Her father was still being treated in the hospital. She would be devastated if something happens to him.
"Don't worry. I'll make a call to the police station and tell them to add more personnel to the hospital. I'll go and make the call now. Excuse me." Arlan reassured her. He then grabbed his phone and searched for the contact number of the police squad captain who had helped them recently.
"Hello, sir! This is Arlan Dominic Roa. Yes. I was the person you spoke with earlier. I just want to inform you guys that the Reyes Family received numerous death threats from Leandro's drug cartel. Sofia is with her mother and brother here at my house. They should be safe for now, but I hope that you can send more officers to Mr. Reyes who is still in the hospital. I'm afraid those criminals might do something to him."
When the squad captain heard Arlan's report, he immediately noted it down in his notebook. "Alright, Mr. Roa. I will send more men to the hospital where Mr. Reyes is being treated. If you need more help from our station, don't hesitate to contact me." Earlier, the police officers who escorted Arlan and Sofia's family gave him a shocking report. It turns out that the young man, Arlan Dominic Roa, actually lives inside the Royal Territory! Only the rich business owners and the top government officials could afford a spot in that place and this spoke volumes about Arlan's deep background. Because of this, he was willing to do him a favor in hopes that he could befriend this mysterious young man.
"There's no need to call me 'sir'. Just call me Uncle Fabian next time." The squad captain chuckled, not hiding his intentions of becoming closer to Arlan.
Although Arlan has the experience of a super soldier, he was only an ordinary young man before this. What he gained were just the fighting experiences and the relevant knowledge of a super soldier. He was surprised by the squad captain's words and he didn't notice anything amiss. "In that case, I won't be polite, Uncle Fabian. You can just call me Arlan next time."
Fabian smiled widely when he heard Arlan calling him 'Uncle'. This means that Arlan wasn't rejecting his intentions. "Hahaha! Good! Just relax, Arlan. I won't let those thugs do anything to Mr. Reyes!"
"I'm glad to hear. I still have things to do here, Uncle Fabian so I will end this call now. Bye."
"Sure. I will keep you updated. Bye."
Arlan disconnected the call and kept his phone inside his pocket. With Fabian's help, they no longer had to worry about the safety of Sofia's father.
"I've already made the call. You guys should take a rest in your rooms." Arlan said to Sofia before he went to his room upstairs. He was very tired this time so he immediately fell into deep sleep the moment he closed his eyes.
***
The next morning, Arlan was woken up by the vibration of his phone. He rubbed his eyes before he grabbed his phone.
[You can now claim your daily reward!]
[Do you want to claim your daily reward?]
Arlan clicked [Yes] with a look of expectation. He wondered what he would receive this time.
[Congratulations! You claimed the recipe of Transcendent Coffee!]
Arlan frowned when he read the notification. He felt a bit disappointed by the reward he received. However, a series of information suddenly appeared in his mind. The recipe of the Transcendent Coffee fully integrated into his mind after a few seconds. He didn't experience pain this time and only felt slightly groggy. After adjusting himself to the new information he got, he was no longer dissatisfied. The coffee recipe he claimed from the mysterious app wasn't ordinary at all. This Transcendent Coffee would soon become the best coffee recipe in the world! He was sure of it! He could even make his own brand with the Transcendent Coffee as the core product!
Arlan sat up straight and made a plan in his mind. He now has a lot of money in his bank account and it was more than sufficient to build his own coffee shop. In fact, he could build ten high-end coffee shops with his money. However, it would be a foolish move to invest all his money just like that. "I'll think about this again after I deal with the transfer procedure of Mazda Motor." He muttered to himself.
Arlan took a hot bath before going downstairs. When he went to the living room, a fragrant smell drifted into his nose. He followed the smell and saw Maria and Sofia cooking in the kitchen.
Seeing this, he immediately walked towards them. "Good morning, Sofia. Good morning, Auntie." He greeted them with a smile.
"You're finally awake! Just wait for a moment. The food will be ready soon." Maria muttered gently.
"Smells good. I can't wait." He chuckled as he walked out of the kitchen. He was slightly embarrassed that Maria and Sofia had to cook for him. He had only gotten the Lake View Villa so he didn't have the time to hire someone maids and workers.
Thinking about this, he thought about calling Fredrinn Vance. That guy was the property manager of the Royal Territory. Fredrinn might be able to help him hire some people in a short amount of time.
