"This here is Mr. Nathaniel Fernandez, the owner of Mountain's Fragrance Cafe, also my new boss."
Joseph introduced Nathan to Sebas politely.
Nathan reached out his hand, "Hello, there, sir. How are you today?"
To which Sebas took and shook while smiling, "Hello, there. I'll just call you Nathan, would that be alright?"
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) Nodding, Nathan replied, "Yes, sir. That's also what people that are close to me call me."
"That's good." Said Sebas, then he added, "Also, stop with the sir, sir, just call me Old Sebas just like how Joseph calls me."
Thinking that it's not such a big deal, Nathan immediately agreed, "Don't mind if I do, Old Sebas."
Sebas laughed heartily, seemingly happy with the way Nathan called him.
"Good kid." He said,
Turning his eyes back at Joseph, he then asked, "So, what are you for today? I know you won't just come here for nothing."
Joseph was not embarrassed that he was seen through by Sebas, he just said, "All I wanted to do was actually introduce Mr. Nathan to you, nothing more."
"Is that so?"
Sebas looked at Nathan and started scrutinizing him from head to toe.
After a while, he said, "Well, Nathan, what do you do in life?"
Nathan was taken aback by the sudden question.
But when he recovered, he immediately answered, "Uh, well, right now since school hasn't started yet, I'm just studying some things and trying to get some hobby."
Sebas furrowed his brow, "Is that all?"
Thinking for a second, Nathan jokingly added, "Maybe… also fight villains." Then he chuckled.
A surprised look flashed past Sebas face but it disappeared in just a second so Nathan did not notice it.
Still frowning, hesitantly, he asked, "...Is that true?"
Only then did Nathan notice that Sebas' mood seems to have changed.
Feeling that, he paused for a while to take a look around.
At this time, Sebas is looking at him with eyes full of seriousness while Joseph at the side was silent with his head down.
As if realizing that he made the mood uncomfortable, Sebas coughed, "Ehem, sorry for my rudeness. Take a seat first Nathan."
He pointed at the glasses behind the counter and said,
"Let's forget about the serious stuff for now. Since you guys are at the bar, what would you like to drink?"
Taking a deep breath, Nathan listened to Sebas and took a seat beside Joseph.
Although the mood from before still bothers him, he decided to not think about it for now and asked for an orange juice since he doesn't drink.
Sebas also gave them a pasta saying that he made it.
After that, the time passed by in silence with no one initiating a conversation.
Finally, when Nathan ate everything, he decided to use appraisal on Sebas while drinking the remaining juice on his cup.
[Name: Sebas Montes
Profession: None
Physique: 2 (Tier 1) | Spirit: 3 (Tier 1)
Soul Talent: Family (Dormant)
Attribute: Charm
Skills: None
Status: Normal
Details: An abandoned son by the rich Montes Familia, a family of mafia that originated from Tondo, Manila. Just by himself, he started a business and grew into one of the richest men in the Philippines after some time…]
Just after taking a peek at it, Nathan almost spurted out the juice that he was drinking!
An abandoned son from a mafia family!?
One of the richest men in the Philippines!?
This identity that is shown in front of him doesn't match with the appearance of Old Sebas right in front of him!
Soon after, he calmed down.
Looking at Sebas, Nathan's mind started running.
'I did not expect that I would meet someone with an identity like this just when I wanted to join the elite society and learn more about the world.'
Thinking of that, Nathan continued reading the details about Sebas on the appraisal.
A passage in there suddenly attracted his attention.
[... A month ago, his daughter was kidnapped by a person with supernatural powers. He asked everywhere for someone who can save his daughter but it was to no avail. Helpless, he…]
Nathan was shocked by the information contained in the details as was left there, speechless.
At this time, Sebas came to him again.
"Nathan," he called.
Nathan looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, Old Sebas?"
Although he already had a hunch, he still asked.
"Well…" Sebas seemed hesitant, then said, "Is what you said before, real?"
Hearing that, Nathan's face did not change at the same time, he did not confirm or deny Sebas' words.
Seeing that, Sebas sighed and also took a seat.
With a sorrowful expression, he started talking.
He told Nathan about the story of his daughter being kidnapped just like what's on the appraisal.
Nathan listened to it carefully so as to not miss anything important.
"... I just don't know what to do anymore. My one and only remaining family, my daughter, was taken away from me!"
At the end of his story, Sebas started to become a little emotional.
Nathan also looks sad at this moment.
After a while, he turned to Sebas and said, "... If you still need help, I will try to help you to the best of my abilities."
At the same time, a system notification sounded inside his head.
[Ding!]
[New Mission!]
[Save Sebas Daughter!]
[Details: Sebas daughter has been kidnapped by the demon worshippers to sacrifice to their 'God'. Even though a month has already passed, they still haven't sacrificed her as they need a full moon at the time of the sacrifice.
Time Limit: 13 hours
Rewards: Sebas Gratitude, SM Mall, 150 Gold Points]
….
Seeing the mission, Nathan's eyes narrowed.
He turned and asked the two of them, "Do you guys know when there will be a full moon?"
Joseph shook his head, "No, I don't know about it."
While Sebas said, "Full moon? I think there will be a full moon later at night, why do you ask?"
Hearing that, Nathan turned his eyes back at the time limit on the mission panel and confirmed that it matched!
'So I just have to follow the system, I guess.'
