The moment Manong Cardo agreed, Nathan heard a notification inside his head.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, you have completed the mission, [First Subordinate]]
[Distributing rewards…]
[Ding!]
[Subordinate Affinity Function has been unlocked!]
…
Seeing those notifications, a smile involuntarily showed on his face.
Looking at Manong Cardo, he said, "Good, you won't regret this decision."
"Since I have decided on this, of course I won't regret it." Manong Cardo resolutely said.
Nathan's smile grew bigger as he watched the old man in front of him.
The more he looks at Cardo, the more satisfied Nathan gets.
Patting his shoulders, Nathan said, "Joining me will change your life for the better."
"I'll believe you." Manong Cardo said.
Next, Nathan turned his eyes to the little kid that is still unconscious on the bench before looking back at Manong Cardo and said,
"Well, I'll leave you to handle everything here. Contact me tomorrow, I will assign you a job."
Then, Nathan smiled mysteriously and continued, "Also, I will give you something that will truly change your life and your whole being."
Manong Cardo can't help but become curious after seeing Nathan act so mysterious about something.
But even though he was curious, he chose not to ask and just waited for the time when Nathan would give whatever it is that he's talking about.
Seeing that he was the type that has a lot of questions for his boss, Nathan was satisfied.
As someone who has a lot of secrets, Nathan doesn't want to be around someone who doesn't know how to mind his or her own business.
That's why he preferred someone like Manong Cardo who's not too meddlesome.
Nathan talked with Manong Cardo for a while before deciding to leave.
He said, "So, Manong Cardo, I'll get going now." Gazing at the kid laying on the other bench, he said, "For the things that transpired here, I'll leave it to you to handle."
"Tomorrow, you go to the cafe, Mountain's Fragrance, we'll talk about what you'll be doing from now on there."
Cardo's face was full of seriousness as he nodded, "Understood! I will be there tomorrow!"
"Good!"
After saying goodbye to Cardo, Nathan went to an obscure alley, wore the Mask of Unknown and dashed out with unbelievable speed, heading back towards the cafe where he left his car.
Because of his fast speed, it did not take long for him to arrive back at the cafe.
When he arrived, Nathan noticed that the other's cars were already gone, meaning, they had also left.
Not thinking much of it, Nathan thought about going inside the cafe.
But in the end, he shook his head and went inside his car.
Leaving the cafe, Nathan drove his car in the direction of his home.
As he was driving in a relaxed manner, his phone suddenly started ringing.
Nathan pulled out his phone that was inside his pocket and looked at the screen to see who's calling.
'Construction' is what is shown on his phone.
"Hmm? It's the construction at Mount Tralala. I was just wondering how it's progressing, now I can just ask them about it."
Saying that, Nathan answered the call,
"Hello?"
Immediately, a rough voice of an old man sounded from the other side of the phone.
"Sir Nathan, hello! How have you been?"
"Uhm, I'm good Mr. Jerry." Said Nathan, "Enough of that, what did you call me for? Is there a problem with construction?"
Hearing Nathan's words, Mr. Jerry, the owner of the construction company that Nathan hired, immediately denied his thoughts.
"Oh, no, no ,no. It is quite the opposite, Sir Nathan. The construction is proceeding smoothly and will probably be finished in about 3 to 5 days."
From the tone of his voice, Mr. Jerry sounded proud.
It is reasonable as being a small company, finishing a project of this caliber in such a short amount of time is quite an achievement for them.
Plus, they can proudly say that they never skimp on anything, so every work of theirs is of great quality!
Hearing the news of the progress of the construction, Nathan was also a little happy.
After refusing the invitation from Mr. Jerry to take a look at the site, Nathan hung up the call and continued driving.
While driving his car around, Nathan passed by a mall and a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
"Since I have decided to start focusing on leveling up the system, I guess I should proceed with gathering some experience points, huh." He said thoughtfully.
With that in mind, Nathan swerved and drove towards the said mall.
After parking his car at the parking lot, Nathan entered the mall and started looking around.
"Hmm, I wonder what I should buy. Although my goal is to gain experience points, still, I don't want to waste money on something I don't want."
He muttered as he walked around inside the mall.
After 20 minutes, Nathan only got a couple of clothes that he bought at a popular brand store in his hand.
Shaking his head disappointedly, Nathan said, "Spending this much won't even get me a bit of experience points."
At this time, Nathan walked past a restaurant and his steps paused.
From the looks of the restaurant, it's obvious that it is very popular as there are many people enjoying their foods inside.
Staring at it for a few seconds, his eyes started to lit up!
"I know what to do to speed up my spending!"
Saying that, he entered the restaurant and was guided by a server.
After he found a table and gave his order, Nathan handed his card to the waiter and said, "Swipe it."
As if just remembering it, he added, "Oh, also, I'll pay for everyone in the restaurant."
Hearing his words, the waiter was stunned for a few seconds but immediately recovered as they are trained to respond to many situations.
"Uhm, sir…"
A hesitant look appeared on the waiter's face.
Raising an eyebrow, Nathan said, "Why? Not possible?"
