Chapter 13 - Mysterious Background

About 5 minutes later, Sean finally left the gym, took a taxi and headed straight to the coffee shop. While the distance was not far, considering that he was already late, Sean wanted to save as much time as possible.

On the other hand, if he could spend some money, there would be no harm if he ended up receiving some cash back from the system.

But while he was inside the taxi, he received a call from a new number. This was the first time that he was receiving a call from a number that was not in his contacts list.

Regardless, after thinking for a while, Sean could not help but think, could it be that one of the jobs that he had applied for, he had actually gotten a chance?

Thinking about it, he felt just how funny it was, considering that he did not get a chance for an entire year, and might only get a chance after he had gotten the system.

Despite what he was thinking about, he went ahead and received the call, and a male voice came from the other end.

"Hello Mr. Stevens, I am Nixon Alonso from Swiftline car dealership. We have your car here, outside Blackbird coffee shop. Are you available to pick it, or would you like it to be delivered to another location?" The male voice said respectfully.

Sean could not help but appreciate the etiquette that was shown by the other party. It seemed that the way that Swiftline car dealership trained its employees was quite good, unlike the gym that he had just visited, or the boutiques.

But then, something that made him frown occurred to him. Swiftline car dealership, that was the best car dealership present within Raventon city! That was where his car was coming from?

While it was true that this city was quite small, that did not imply that there were no rich people that had better cars than the Toyota Camry hybrid that he had received as an additional reward from the system.

There were quite a few car dealerships present within the city, and this car could be found in many of them. But it was unexpected that the system had actually arranged for the best car dealership to deliver the car to him.

Sean was not sure about how the system had arranged for this, but he was amazed by the prowess of the system. But considering that it was considering the entire universe instead of this world, he felt that maybe it was to be expected?

Coming back to his senses, Sean responded, "Please wait for me for about a minute or two, I will be there."

"Okay, Mr. Stevens." Nixon responded before the call ended.

Sean was left pondering, wondering about the mysteries surrounding the system. But even after thinking for a long while, he did not know what to say about the system.

He was only brought back to his senses when the taxi driver informed him that they had already arrived. Sean immediately got out of the car, then made the payment, which was $2.

That was obviously quite expensive for such a distance, but that was just how it was. This was a taxi after all, not a public transportation vehicle.

The moment that the taxi drove away, Sean realized that there was a huge truck that was parked not far away from Blackbird coffee shop. From the logo that was on the trailer of the truck, Sean could immediately tell that it was from Swiftline car dealership.

Currently, around the truck, there were three people, each of them wearing a suit, and just from the looks of it, they seemed to be the most expensive ones Sean had ever seen.

From the way that they carried themselves, it was clear that they were people of status. That was proven by a group of bodyguards that was a little distance away from where the three were standing.

The presence of the truck that belonged to the biggest car dealership in the city obviously attracted the attention of people around. Each and every one of them was quite curious, wondering who was the big shot that was in this area.

Of course, they could easily tell that there was a car that was being transported within that trailer. Quite curious about what car it was, they did not leave, waiting in anticipation.

Sean immediately approached the area, not wanting to take more time. After all, he had a commitment with the owner of the coffee shop, and he needed to show sincerity.

He was already late by several minutes, and he was not willing to delay this any longer. So, he wanted to complete everything that was required for the car delivery, before dealing with the issue about purchasing the coffee shop.

As he approached, he was immediately stopped by one of the bodyguards, who looked at him with a stern expression. Even though Sean had changed, looking much more presentable as compared to before, he did not look like someone that would lead to the company coming here to deliver the car.

Additionally, it was the manager who had come over personally, indicating that the status of the person that the car was being delivered to was extremely high.

Just as Sean was about to say something, one of the middle-aged men noticed him, and immediately began approaching. At the same time, he said, "Mr. Stevens, it is nice to see you in person."

The moment that the bodyguard heard those words, he looked towards the middle-aged man who had spoken. Then, he turned and gazed at Sean, realizing that the middle-aged man was actually speaking to Sean.

This shocked him so much that he felt a chill running down his spine. Just who was this young man? And, if he held such a high status, why would he not dress like someone of a high status?

At the same time as he retreated, he bowed to Sean and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Stevens, I did not realize that you were the one that we were waiting for."

Upon seeing his reaction, Sean simply nodded and said, "Don't sweat it, it's nothing big."

Sean understood that the bodyguard was simply trying to do his duty, and had no intention of making things difficult for him. So, he simply looked towards the middle-aged man that was approaching.

The voice was familiar to him, as it was the voice that he had heard from the other end of the call. It was clear that this was Nixon that he had talked to a few minutes ago.

But there was something that puzzled him, how did this guy recognize him? This was the first time that they were meeting, so, how was it possible that the other party already knew about him.

But it was then that he remembered something. He did not give the address of where the car was to be delivered, yet they came here in just less than 1 hour.

All this seemed to be the arrangement that was made by the system. Regardless, Sean was shocked internally.

"It is good to see you too, Mr. Alonso." Sean responded, and the two of them shook hands. The other two middle-aged men also shook hands with Sean, all looking so respectfully at Sean.

But there was something that shown realized, it seemed that these two middle-aged men were a little puzzled. They were looking at him, as if they were trying to see through him. It seemed that they did not know his identity, unlike Nixon.

"Mr. Stevens, these two are my assistants." Nixon went ahead and introduced the two people beside him. It turned out that they were assistant managers, one in charge of finances, and the other one in charge of procurement.

With that out of the way, Nixon went directly to the topic, as it seemed that he did not want to waste Sean's time. Something that made Sean curious was that Nixon seemed to be extremely respectful of him.

Considering that this was the first time that the two of them were meeting, Sean was puzzled about the method that the system had used when it came to making the purchase of the car.

Regardless, he did not ask that out loud, and was only left contemplating about the matter.

It was quite easy to deal with the delivery of the car. All the other procedures had already been completed, and all that was required was a signature from Sean.

The registration number of the car had already been brought together with the car, saving Sean a lot of time that he would need to go and look for one.

But despite that, Sean could not help but wonder, was it really possible for the car dealership to be able to complete all the procedures within less than 1 hour?

Just thinking about that time that it took for the car to be delivered from the car dealership that was located in the center of the city, it was definitely impossible to be able to complete all these procedures in less than 10 minutes.

Could it be that the system could tell in advance what he was planning to do, and already made arrangements? Or could it be that the system already arranged for the additional reward even before he attained it?

Despite what he was thinking, after signing where he was required, Sean informed them that they should offload the car, as he had something else that he needed to deal with.

Nixon had no problem with that, and watched as Sean entered into Blackbird coffee shop, his expression still respectful.

It was also at this moment that one of the middle-aged men beside him asked curiously, "Boss, who is that young man? Why are you so respectful to him? From the way that he is dressed, and even the car that we just delivered, he does not seem to be of a very high status."

Nixon glared at him the moment that he heard those words. Then he reprimanded him, "You better not say that in front of him. The background of that young master is not something that you can talk about. Our attack company is not enough to deal with that background. Let's do what brought us here, before leaving. I don't want to risk you offending him in any way."
