Days went by fast with how busy Liam was.

On day two of the promotion, Olive Park managed to pull in $2300 which landed Liam with $48,300. The increase in income boosted Liam’s confidence in his plan.

On day three, the queue of customers was so massive that it reached the main street and even alerted the local news station to cover a special piece in the local news.

And by day seven, the entire internet was filled with news of Olive Park where customers can eat a scrupulous two-course meal with just a dollar.

Multiple influencers, food critics and even a few less known celebrities had visited Olive Park to try the food, further bringing the story of Olive Park into the public.

“Did you know about the story of Olive Park? The owner of the restaurant was so confident about his food that he loaned half a million dollars for this marketing stunt! If there’s no returning customers after the discount is over, he will be bankrupt from the loan!”

“Seriously? The cost of ingredients itself would cost more than a dollar! This guy is either mad or he is that confident of his food. Now my interest is piqued! I want to taste his food and see if he’s worth the buzz!”

“Did you hear? There’s a real-life princess working at Olive Park. The way she smiled at me was so mesmerizing! 

“You mean the waitress, Penelope? She was smiling at me, you idiot!”

“Look at yourself in the mirror, there’s no way she is interested in you!”

“Enough! Do you guys have a video of her?”

“There’s a tiktok video of her on the official page of Olive Park. The video has already garnered 10 million views.”

Buzz on the streets generated positive feedback and with the explosive popularity of both Olive Park and Penelope, Liam’s income had grown exponentially as well.

In seven days, he had already earned himself over three hundred thousand in total.

Nonetheless, due to the expensive operating cost such as ingredients, and re-investing every dollars he had earned, he had not achieved the goal of earning $200,000 in net profit.

***

Finally on the eighth day. The day after the promotion event had ended.

“Are you sure you don’t want to pick up your phone? I’m sure it must be urgent seeing how frequent your phone is ringing.” Penelope asked, glancing at Liam.

“It’s nothing important. It’s just annoying flies that are calling me. I will return the call after today is over.” Liam answered while looking at the entrance of Olive Park before turning off his phone.

The eighth day was the day when the prices of Olive Park’s menu items returned back to normal prices. It was also the moment of truth.

Whether Liam could topple those that wronged him would all depend on this first step that he took.

Clenching his fist, he waited nervously with Giorgio, Penelope and the rest of the staff working in Olive Park. Before long, a silent atmosphere filled the restaurant as the anticipation of everyone grew.

A significant time had passed since opening hours began, but the entrance of the restaurant remained motionless.

“Did I fail?” Liam mumbled as there was no sight of customers arriving. However, he was proved to be wrong very soon.

“Ring!”

“Is the restaurant open?” Right before Liam had given up, the doorbell above Olive Park’s door rang and a family of four entered.

With the arrival of the family, many more customers started to stream into the restaurant. 

“Welcome to Olive Park! How may I help you, sir?” With the greetings of Penelope, the cogs of the restaurant started to turn at full speed.

Customers were being served, and a variety of food were pushed out at a high speed.

Soon, even Liam, who had just recovered from his injuries, was forced by Penelope to act as a temporary waiter due to the massive influx of customers.

***

“Thanks for coming. We hope to see you again!”

With the sending off of the last customer, Liam, Giorgio and Penelope sat down together to discuss the future of the restaurant.

“So, what’s the result of today’s earnings?” Liam asked Giorgio nervously. 

The turnout of customers was impressive but Liam was still unsure if he had completed the mission given by the system.

“Well… I guess we are rich! $59445 for the first day!” Giorgio declared.”

“What? Isn’t this abnormal? How could the restaurant earn such a large amount in just a single day?” Liam questioned the validity of the earnings.

“That’s because there was a pretty lady who tipped fifty thousand dollars to the restaurant. I’ve asked her why she would do that, but she just replied with a smile.” Penelope interjected.

Whatever the case was, Liam could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, the more he thinks about the mission, the more he feels that he was simply lucky.

Without the $50,000 tip by the mysterious lady to the restaurant, he would fail the mission with just falling a little short of the $200,000 required.

That was such a close call!

After receiving the 70% share of $59445 into his bank account, Liam instantly switched on his phone.

It took some time for his outdated smartphone to load, but it was worth the wait for Liam.

When the balance of his bank account showed, adrenaline filled his body.

He had become a millionaire!

{Chase Bank Account Received $1248345. New balance is $1249300}

    Complete silence descended upon the press conference as everyone remained in a state of blank anticipation following Liam's powerful declaration. The audience, including the bodyguards, held their breath as they closely watched the battle between Liam and Damian Flander. Even Damian Flander himself watched Liam with fear and anxiety as he anticipated a violent retaliation from Liam after finding out that Liam was part of the notorious Walker family. A full minute elapsed swiftly with nothing unfolding. With all the focus of everyone on him, Liam continued to maintain his calm demeanor, standing alongside Ahsley, shielding her from potential harm. Soon, five minutes had passed by and the crowd began to gradually become restless with nothing noteworthy happening. People were bewildered. Didn’t Liam declare that he would punish Damian Flander?

    “Stop! Raise your hands and display them! Any sudden movement and we will be forced to incapacitate the both of you!” Motivated by the substantial rewards pledged by Damian Flander, the head of the guards issued this command as all the nearby guards overcame their fear of Liam and drew their guns from their holsters.Normally, discharging firearms in a densely populated area with innocent bystanders is strongly discouraged. However, the prospect of a substantial reward had caused those guidelines to be disregarded entirely.With the barrels of their guns aimed at Liam, multiple guards started to step forward to apprehend Liam and Ashley.
