After listening to Cardo, Nathan also fell silent as some thoughts crossed his head.

A couple of seconds later, Nathan finally spoke again.

"How about I hire them then?" He said while looking at Cardo.

"Huh?"

Cardo looked at Nathan with a puzzled look.

Then Nathan said, "Since you'll be needing more people to guard the mountain anyway, recruiting more people is inevitable."

When he realized what Nathan was talking about, Cardo's eyes widened in surprise.

"Thank you, boss!"

Cardo Immediately thanked Nathan.

"No need to thank me, we're not sure if I'll hire them anyway. Tomorrow, bring them to me and I'll see if they are trustworthy, after that, we will see." Nathan said,

Although Nathan said that, Cardo's gratitude for him did not diminish.

'I can finally fulfill my promise to them!' he thought inside his head.

Cardo actually has something that he didn't say.

The family that he was talking about is someone that he treats as his own family.

By being around them for years, he can't help but get attached to them and start treating them as his own.

As someone who failed in creating his own family, it was like a chance for him to experience it.

And because of all that, Cardo can't help but feel conflicted earlier when Nathan suggested that he leave the place he's living in.

Now, he doesn't have to worry about that.

Looking at Nathan again, a resolution to do the things that Nathan asked him with the best of his abilities appeared in his heart.

Meanwhile, on Nathan's side, a notification sounded inside Nathan's head.

[Ding!]

[Your subordinate, [Manong Cardo]'s favorability towards you has reached 50(Respect)!]

[You got a System Lottery Ticket!]

[System Lottery has been unlocked!]

…

Notifications appear one after another within Nathan's eyes, but he was not overwhelmed by it.

He calmly looked through it all and his face did not change until the very end.

But on the inside, Nathan was already smiling happily as he discovered a few things!

He wanted to open the system and take a look but since he still has someone, he suppressed himself and dismissed the notifications before turning his eyes back at Cardo.

"Well, that concludes our talk. Let's relax for now before we go to buy a car later." Nathan said.

Only then did Cardo remember about this.

Just as he was about to refuse, the waiter came back with their orders in his hand.

"Here's your order, sirs. Enjoy!"

When he was about to leave, Nathan told him to call Joseph.

When the waiter finally left, Cardo opened his mouth and continued what he was about to say.

However, Nathan was ahead of him and casually said, "Well, don't refuse it now. It is something that's necessary for your work. If you still can't accept it, just treat it as a company car or something like that."

When he heard that, Cardo didn't know how to refuse anymore.

Sighing helplessly, he said, "Understood, Boss."

The reason why Cardo wants to refuse is that he doesn't want Nathan to spend on him.

But at the same time, he knows that the things that Nathan said were also real.

In the end, he decided to just accept it since it's not like it's a bad thing.

As they were drinking their coffee, Joseph arrived at this time with an excited look as he hurried over to Nathan.

"Boss, you're back just right on time!" Joseph immediately said the moment he arrived at the table.

Nathan was confused by Joseph's words, "Huh? Did something good happen?"

Joseph did not answer immediately and turned his eyes at Manong Cardo, sitting opposite of Nathan.

From the looks in his eyes, it is obvious that he still hasn't let go of his resentment from what happened last time.

But Joseph did not say anything seeing that he was with Nathan.

Ignoring him, Joseph turned his gaze back at Nathan with a much calmer attitude.

Leaning in close, he said in a low voice, "A big investment group noticed our cafe and wanted to form some sort of partnership with us."

"Investment group?"

Nathan furrowed his brow, "Why would a big investment group suddenly pay attention to us?"

"I mean, I know that our cafe is pretty popular not just here in our city and some other places but it's not to the point that a big investment group will suddenly notice and will want to form a 'partnership' with us, right?"

The more Nathan thinks, the more that he sees that there is something amiss with this sudden attention.

Suddenly, a flash insight passed through his eyes.

He looked at Joseph and asked, "What is the name of that investment group?"

Without hesitation, Joseph answered, "It's called Illuminati Group. They have been the talk of the news these past few weeks since they entered our country."

The moment Nathan heard Illuminati, Nathan narrowed his eyes.

"If it's the Illuminati, I guess this is not just a simple business partnership." Nathan muttered.

'This heinous organization for sure has something planned to suddenly make contact with my business. I need to get to the bottom of this!' Nathan thought,

Then he said to Joseph, "Try to delay giving them a response for now. I need to investigate a few things about this."

Joseph was puzzled by Nathan's behavior.

From the moment he told that there was an investment group interested in their cafe, Nathan already had this look of suspicion on his face.

Because of those, Joseph can't help but be curious.

"Understood, Boss. They were requesting a meeting but I'll try to delay it as much as you need!" He said.

Nathan nodded in satisfaction after hearing his answer.

"Good."

Then as if he thought of something, he suddenly added, "I'll give you something good if you did a good job."

After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Joseph.

But Joseph on the side widened his eyes and looked more excited than before after hearing that Nathan will be rewarding him.

"Thank you, Boss!"
