Chapter 7 - Greenland Country Club

"Spiritual sense…?" Seb muttered to himself upon hearing the words "spiritual sense".

 

"System, open the…"

 

"Growl…"

 

Right when Seb was about to get the system to open his stats page on the system screen, Seb's stomach suddenly let out a loud growl, and immediately, Seb could feel just how hungry he was right now.

 

"It feels like I haven't eaten for ages… I should quickly take a shower, then head over to the dim sum store. I can check on my stats later on once I have done filling up my stomach."

 

Upon thinking up to here, Seb quickly went into the shower and began showering.

 

In no time, before 5 minutes had even passed since Seb had entered the shower, Seb could be seen stepping out of the shower and drying himself with a towel, then right after, began dressing up himself with the clothes that he brought into the shower with him.

 

"Hmm, 40 minutes have passed since I gave Byron a call…"

 

"I better give Byron another call and let him know that I am now on my way to the dim sum store."

 

Upon stepping out of his dormitory room, Seb took out his phone and took a look at the current time, and upon seeing that 40 minutes have already passed since he last gave Byron a call and told Byron to meet him in the store in 30 minutes, he decided to give Byron another call right now.

 

"Ring… ring…"

 

Before 5 seconds had even passed, the phone call immediately connected to the other side.

 

"Big boss?"

 

"I was held up by some unexpected circumstances. I just left my dormitory room and am currently heading over to the dim sum store. I should arrive at the dim sum store in less than 10 minutes. Have you and Tyler arrived at the dim sum store already?"

 

"Yeah, Tyler and I are in the dim sum store right now."

 

"Alright, order 5 of each of the snacks, 5 plates of fried rice, and 3 steamed whole fish for me."

 

"…" The opposite of the phone went silent for a few seconds, seemingly to have become speechless with how much Seb was trying to order.

 

"Big boss… I know that you have a big appetite… But are you sure you are going to be able to finish all of that?"

 

"I will explain to you later when I arrived. For now, just order what I told you to order."

 

"Alright, big boss."

 

After the opposite side finished speaking, Seb cut off the phone call and placed his phone into his pocket, then began quickening his footsteps.

 

Before 5 minutes had even passed, Seb could be seen to have already arrived at the university's main entrance.

 

As Seb walked out from the university's main entrance and turned right, after walking straight for a few minutes, Seb finally arrived at a dim sum store.

 

Or, to be more precise, Seb finally arrived at Greenland Country Club, a country club that was owned by the biggest triad within Greenland City, Seven Claws.

 

The dim sum store was merely a store that was a part of Greenland Country Club.

 

However, different from the Greenland Country Club's golf course, swimming pool, and other facilities that were located within the Greenland Country Club, where only by possessing membership would one be able to access those facilities, the dim sum store was opened to the public, and was located right at the parking lot and main entrance of the country club.

 

"Big boss!"

 

"Big boss!"

 

"Big boss…"

 

When Seb arrived near to the dim sum store, a bunch of gangster-looking henchmen got out of 3 SUVs that were parked directly outside of the dim sum store, then immediately bowed down 45 degrees and shouted out respectfully to Seb.

 

"Relax, relax, no need to be so tense. Come on, stop bowing, or else I'm going to get upset." Upon seeing those henchmen, Seb walked over to them and said while with an amicable smile on his face.

 

"I recognize you. You are Peter, right? Byron's right-hand man?" As those henchmen stopped bowing and raised their upper bodies straight… Seemingly to recognize the face of one of the henchmen, Seb walked over to the henchman, then pat onto the henchman's shoulder and asked.

 

"Yes, big boss! It's an honor to finally be able to meet you! Just like you, I came from Evergreen Orphanage too! I have heard of all the legendary things that you did ever since you left Evergreen Orphanage when you were 13, about how you went from being nobody to forming one of the strongest families within Greenland City! It has always been a dream for me to be able to join the Force Family and work under you!" Upon realizing that the family's big boss actually recognized him, Peter's expression froze for a moment, then right after, Peter immediately lowered his head and began speaking fervently.

 

"Is that so? I will be looking forward to your growth then. I have high hopes for you."

 

"Thank you, big boss, I won't disappoint you!" Upon hearing what Seb said, Peter immediately bowed 45 degrees at Seb once again, then shouted out loudly.

 

"Alright, alright, stop behaving like this, look at the people within the dim sum store, you guys are going to end up scaring them." Seb said while lifting Peter up, preventing Peter from continuing on bowing.

 

And as expected, just as Seb had just said, the people within the dim sum store were looking at Seb and the henchmen with curiosity.

 

"So, what are you guys doing waiting outside in the cars? Why not head inside the dim sum store and eat?"

 

"We were told to be on guard for a fight to break out. So, it would be best for us to just wait outside in the cars."

 

"I see, I see. Well, I will be heading inside first then. Keep up the good work." After Seb finished speaking, he began heading toward the dim sum store.

 

Meanwhile, the henchmen watched as Seb walked over to the store and entered into the store, then finally got back into their cars.

 

And what Seb didn't know was that, right when he entered the dim sum store, a few people that were across the street, who were waiting for the traffic to come to a stop so that they could cross over the street and head to the dim sum store, saw Seb and recognized Seb.

 

"Hey, Jessica, isn't that Seb? Didn't you say that he had something busy that he had to attend to, which is why he couldn't come with us to the dim sum store? So, what is he doing alone by himself at the dim sum store?" A pretty looking young girl who was as pretty, or not, even prettier than Jessica Luine, could be seen looking over to Jessica Luine and saying while with a surprised tone in her voice.
