The main dish was a mildly spicy beef tendon curry served with a plate of warm, fluffy rice that smelled incredibly fragrant. Just looking at it was enough to make both of them hungry, especially after a busy morning. A cold matcha latte accompanied the meal, providing a refreshing contrast to the rich curry. The drink also helped balance the heat from the spices and the richness of the beef. William was genuinely impressed when he took his first bite. The beef tendon was so tender that it practically fell apart in his mouth. Their claim that the meat had been cooked for several hours clearly wasn’t an exaggeration. The long cooking time had allowed the tendon to become soft without losing its rich flavor. Even though William already owned his own restaurant, which Jay managed for him, there was no denying that he genuinely loved good food. His cooking ability had also made his sense of taste unusually sharp. He could recognize most of the spices in a dish, estimate how long the me

Celine shook her head. “No, it makes sense that you have two very talented cousins with such great looks. If only you hadn’t entered the business world, you would have been perfect as an idol. I’m sure you would have had a lot of fans.” William laughed at her comment. “Oh my god, you’re exaggerating.” Celine shook her head again. “Of course not.” [You have successfully completed the mission to help Celine!] William froze for a moment. What? How had the mission suddenly been completed? He couldn’t remember doing anything different. [Celine’s main problem is loneliness, master.] William went quiet as he looked at the woman sitting across from him. Celine was casually sipping her wine while admiring the beautiful night view of the city. A gentle smile rested on her face, making her look unusually peaceful. [Your reward this time is the Sweet Tongue skill, which allows you to make anyone believe your words, even if they don’t make sense.] [This skill requires magical energy, so you

William stopped running and turned around when he realized Liz was struggling to keep up. The moment he saw her slowly making her way toward him, he couldn’t help smiling. He chuckled as the girl approached, breathing hard after the short run. Liz had never liked sports. Dancing was different because she actually enjoyed it, but anything that involved running or traditional exercise was something she usually avoided. Carmen had invited her to Pilates several times, and Liz had rejected every single invitation. Yet somehow, when William asked her to jog around the building with him, she agreed without much hesitation. It didn’t stop there. After they finished jogging around the building, William suggested they continue toward the Arcelia River. It was the weekend, so many people had decided to spend their free time outside. That also meant the area around the Arcelia River would be much busier than usual. More visitors would arrive, and there would probably be plenty of vendors s

“I did get the apartment back, but I used all my remaining money to put it in my name. I want to sell it, but where would I live afterward? I don’t have anywhere else to go. I kicked Selene out, but she didn’t even care because her new boyfriend, the CEO, bought her another apartment,” Trent explained after finishing his meal. William looked at him for a moment before letting out a long sigh. “So, you need a job?” asked William. Trent nodded. “Yeah. That’s why I came here. My mother told me that if I ever had problems, I could come to you. I couldn’t go to Deva because he probably wouldn’t care about me. You know Deva has his own problems too. He’s trying to sue Vicky and David for what they did to Sean. Deva must be angry with me because I was actually the one who introduced Vicky to him. Vicky has been my friend since we were children. I knew she was obsessed with Deva, but I kept quiet about it. So… you’re the only person I have left, my brother.” William’s head began to ache th

“Look at this. All the rose seeds you gave me have grown this big. It’s amazing because I’ve never managed to grow roses from seeds before,” Evan said proudly. He showed William the roses he had grown from the seeds William gave him earlier. Even the seeds William had given Liz ended up being planted by Evan because Liz had asked him to take care of them. “So that means the seeds have a 100% success rate, right?” William asked enthusiastically. He was thrilled because the seeds he had purchased from the system had clearly turned out to be exceptionally good. “I think saying 100% is a little too much because Evan is the only person who has planted them. And honestly, Evan seems like a professional at this. If ordinary people like us tried planting them, they might not grow this quickly,” Liz replied. William nodded thoughtfully. “In that case, I’ll lower it to 99%. I’m confident about the quality of what I’m selling. Now that we’ve proven it works, I think I can finally put it on the
