41 Chapter 41: The Magical Table of Contents (1/2)
Left in a daze, Dylan was standingawkwardly. His employees finally conceded after being stopped by the three guards by a couple of times. Seeing how disappointed they were, Dylan told the guards to let them near him for a while.
Hearing this, they rejoiced and quickly approached Dylan. The employees each asked whether Dylan was doing fine or still feeling the pain of his wound. Dylan smiled wryly when he heard of this because his wound has already healed. It was already healed by Scarlet so he felt somewhat bad that he needed to lie to them and act like he was still injured.
”It's still hurting but I can manage. Sir Elmer told me that after several days of rest and application of medicine I will be able to quickly heal.” Dylan said
”Ohhh, then please rest, sir Dylan. Rest assured. I will manage the restaurant in your behalf.” Frank spoke.
”Okay, then.” Dylan agreed.
”It seems like sir Dylan is still feeling a bit nauseous. I assume this is from the operation, right?” Frank was concerned for Dylan's welfare so he asked.
”Ugh, just a little bit.” Dylan scratched his head.
” Then, we can't be negligent it may be a side effect of the restaurant so you must rest, sir Dylan. Mary , Marie, please guide sir to his house.” Frank ordered his two neice to assist Dylan.
”Ugh, you don't have to do this.” Dylan told Frank.
”No, sir Dylan. You must rest. Remember your welfare is the welfare of the restaurant.” Frank reminded Dylan as he was the face of the Gardenford Restaurant.
Dylan could only helplessly follow.Frank's order because he was still 'recovering' after all. Marie and Mary came near Dylan and assisted him because 'he' still cannot walk too well. Dylan was walking slowly on his own and he started to lag back from Marie and Mary. Seeing this, the two ladies traced their steps until they reached Dylan. Each took one arm and wrapped it around their backs. They used their strengths and easily carried Dylan.
Shocked by this, Dylan could not help but say, ”It's okay, Mary and Marie. I can still manage.”
”Sir Dylan, just let us do what we were ordered to do.” Mary smiled in response.
”Sir Dylan, you don't have to act so tough. We saw how you struggled walking earlier.” Marie smiled as response as well.
”Oh, okay.” Dylan could only smile wryly. He only tried to make the lie that he still had a wound more believable by lagging behind by a little bit. He never expected that he would be treated like this.
Some of the boys had envious gazes towards Dylan because what a privilege it was to be carried by two beauties in that manner. The two girls were blushing as they walked towards the house because the man they fancied was so close to them. Their hearts couldn't help but quicken as their faces showed a genuinely happy smile. But Dylan had no knowledge of this whatsoever because the faces of these two beauties were facing forwards. Thus, he was unable to see their red faces.
Upon reaching the outside house, he was totally amazed because he could see from the outside of his house that the interior was now completely transformed. All of the vases and containers were cleared out. The floors was replaced by cement instead of wood. His roof was now replaced with better material. Every aspect of his house has transformed! It was now bigger and wider and better looking. It could now even be considered as a large house worth 500 gold coins!
He asked to Mary and Marie how did this happen and they replied it was because of the cummulative effort that all the employees have done. They wanted to surprise him. They saw how Dylan was focused on improving the restaurant and their skills in business that he forgot to improve his own. They also knew how generous Dylan was to their families and their homes every time he secretly gave them food and provisions. So, it was decided that they would repay him yesterday by secretly improving Dylan's house because Dylan said that he was going for a business meeting.
But, they did not expect that he would be placed in a great ordeal in which his life was on the line. So they stayed in the Gardenford Restaurant to guard Scarlet, the restaurant and the newly renovated house.
Dylan was shocked and felt warmth because of his employees goodwill. He felt so blessed to have them because they even went as far as renovate his home and he was sure that they spent a hefty sum to do this. So he said to them, ”After I recover, we are going to have a feast to celebrate our win in the Business War. Just inform everyone once you return. You can go back now. I can manage from here. Tell everyone to work hard.”
”Understood.” Both nodded in unison and left.
Dylan went inside and familiarized his house for a while. After familiarizing himself with his new and better house, he went upstairs where his room was found and at the hall towards his room, which was opposite to Scarlet's room, he saw Scarlet who just came out of her room.
When Scarlet saw Dylan, she smiled at Dylan and Dylan knew what it meant. Scarlet danced and he danced as well. Their silly dance had begotten laughter and smiles. Dylan rustled Scarlet's hair while Scarlet pinched his cheeks. After their sibling time, Dylan told Scarlet that he had to rest and Scarlet nodded as she said goodbye.
”Good bye, big bro. Sleep well! I hope you recover soon. I will be at the restaurant playing with big bro Roland, big sis Allana and big bro Scott.” Scarlet waved her hands to Dylan as she descended the flight of stairs.
”But you already have..” Dylan mumbled as he smiled.
Dylan went to his room and rested after circulating [Cosmic God's Business of Galaxies cultivation technique] several times. After resting for a few minutes, Dylan locked his room from the inside and stealthily went out to the window. He dashed towards the depths of the forest after checking that no one saw his escape.
He ventured deep to the wilderness and slaughtered several Spirit Beasts along the way. He found another underground cave and scouted inside. After killing the 9th Level Spirit Veins Realm Wild Boar inside, he occupied the cave.
He still needed to be cautious not to let anyone know about the existence of the Mansion so he had to distance himself from the city. Dylan could also not risk going to deep to the forest because he might encounter a Spirit Beast far stronger than him. That is why Dylan picked a place where the periphery of the area are only of Spirit Veins Realm beasts.
Dylan started his meditation and entered his mindscape. He saw the large amounts of Primal Stones! The primal stones was approximately 1800 in number! His collection of Deca-Stones have now reached 180! His Centurial stones were that of 18! He tried to find a Millenial Stone but to no avail, there was none. So, he came into conclusion that the stones are rewarded based on the number of customers he had entertained for a day.
