The Raynold family is one of the country’s conglorate families. They own several large companies that are very influential in the country’s economic growth. They have so many businesses that people often say that Raynold has everything you need.
Riki thought that was an exaggeration. But it turned out to be true.
Because the detective that Arvin Raynold introduced to him was Leonard Raynold, or commonly called Leon. A 30-year-old man whom Riki thought was only in his twenties because of his baby face.
That afternoon, Riki t Leon at Jay’s restaurant, which was getting busier by the day. In fact, tomorrow was the day the restaurant would move to a bigger place on the Arcelia River.
Jay said it was the last day he would open the restaurant in that small place. So he invited Riki. Coincidentally, Riki had to et Leon.
So, there they were.
Sitting comfortably, accompanied by a table full of delicious dishes that Jay cooked himself.
The restaurant was already empty because Jay had closed it. He opened it especially for Riki.
"I really like this," said Leon.
Riki raised an eyebrow, "What do you like? My family’s case, or this food?" asked Riki.
Leon laughed and shrugged, "Well, everything. I like the case you want to investigate, and I also like this food. In fact, I also like how you were able to rent this viral restaurant just to et ."
Riki chuckled, he really liked the misunderstanding Leon had just expressed.
"Okay, Leon, first of all, I have shares in this restaurant, and second, my friend who runs this restaurant wanted to treat to a al before the restaurant moves near the Arcelia River tomorrow."
Hearing that, Leon laughed out loud.
"I’m glad to hear what you just said. You even helped Jay set up his restaurant? No wonder he didn’t go bankrupt and was able to move to a bigger restaurant. So you’re his investor, huh?"
Riki wasn’t surprised to hear that Leon knew Jay. Basically, Jay ca from an upper-class family and was working hard to prove himself.
Surely people from the conglorate circle know each other, right?
"Alright, Leon, back to my case, you want to investigate it, right?" asked Riki.
Leon nodded, "More than that, let catch all the perpetrators. I’ll make sure you win this case. Because all the evidence you have is already very clear. You just want to make everything clearer, right? You can leave it to . Coincidentally, I’m bored and need an interesting case, then you ca along. I think this is a good coincidence—hahaha."
Riki just smiled weakly. Leon was really noisy. He was an extrovert who was easy to get along with, lively, and sucked up a lot of energy from the people around him.
"Then, I’ll be counting on you, Leon," said Riki.
Leon nodded, "Yeah, don’t worry, buddy. You can count on . I’ll get to the bottom of everything."
[You have completed your first mission today. Your reward is ownership of a vacant lot on Azeria Street and an additional 5 points to all stats]
[You also get an additional 5 points]
Riki smiled slightly, seeing that his reward was a vacant lot in a strategic location.
Azeria Street was not far from the Arcelia River and was a very busy street. Riki could use the vacant lot for business later. Even if he sold it, the price would definitely be very high.
"Please help , Leon," said Riki.
"Hahaha, don’t worry. Zeno’s friend is my friend too. You can consider your friend or your own brother. You don’t need to be shy with ."
Riki just smiled in response to Leon’s words. Riki’s energy for socializing dropped drastically just because of Leon.
While finishing their al, Leon continued to talk. He asked a lot of questions about Riki, and he also asked a lot about Riki’s parents’ case. Riki himself answered casually, revealing everything from his personal point of view.
Before they knew it, two hours had passed.
Finally, Leon went ho, leaving Riki at the restaurant alone with Jay.
"Are you okay, buddy?" asked Jay, chuckling as he saw Riki staring blankly after Leon left.
Jay approached Riki and sat down in front of him.
"I’m fine, it’s just that I feel like my soul has been drained. Leon really talked a lot," replied Riki.
Jay laughed as he cleared the dishes from the table.
In fact, there were no other employees left in the restaurant. Jay wanted to cook for Riki alone. But that didn’t an he wasn’t happy that Leon had co.
"Leon is a good person. He is very friendly to everyone, and he is also known for being very thorough. Even though he cos from a great family, he has proven that his abilities are no joke. You know how people always assu that people from rich families get jobs because of their family’s money or connections. Leon is different. He even went abroad so that no one would know he was rich. Well, we’re not very close, but I know a lot about him," said Jay.
Riki nodded, "I can also see that he has great talent in his current job."
Jay snorted and asked, "Then, am I talented in what I’m doing now?"
Riki looked at Jay seriously, paused for a mont, then nodded.
"Yeah, you’re talented at running a restaurant, Jay. You also have a talent for managing finances. I think your current job is the best fit for you. Your cooking skills are also good."
For so reason, Jay felt that Riki was praising him sincerely. It made him proud of what he had been doing all this ti. Proud that he didn’t give up at the last minute.
He also felt that his eting with Riki was destiny.
He heard the sound of several people approaching.
"You’re still open—oh my god, Boss! You’re here?"
Jay chuckled when he saw Jake and Jean arrive, and imdiately approached Riki. Both of them looked very upset with Riki.
"This place is closed, why did you guys co?" asked Riki.
"Forget that, boss, you better read my chat that you haven’t even opened since yesterday!" protested Jean.
Riki hurriedly took out his smartphone and was surprised to see several chats he hadn’t seen. He had missed them all, or they had been buried by other chats that weren’t very useful.
"Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll reply now," said Riki.
"Forget it, Riki, you can reply here," said Jake.
"Wait a minute, let read all your chats," said Riki.
"I heard that your boss isn’t the type who likes to play with his phone, according to his close friend, Evan," said Jay.
Jake clicked his tongue in annoyance, "He even let his social dia accounts gather dust. Even though he’s famous, which is good for promoting our business, but guess what? he ignored it."
"Do you need a social dia admin, boss?" asked Jean.
"Wait a minute, let read all this! Be quiet!" protested Riki.
"Our boss even takes a long ti to read," said Jake.
"Because your chats are like a Chinese novel, be quiet!"
***
Riki slowly opened his eyes when he felt the sunlight penetrating the curtains of the windows in his room.
Oh, no, it wasn’t his room. It was a room in his office building.
Riki, Jake, and Jean stayed at the office after a full day of handling pending work.
Jake and Jean were also in the only room in the office.
Jean was sleeping next to Riki, while Jake was sleeping on the mattress he had laid out below.
That’s how it should have been.
But it turned out that Riki was alone on the bed.
When Riki looked down, Jean was there. Sleeping cramped together with Jake.
The two of them were very strange.
Riki got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. He washed his face briefly to wake himself up, then went out to make so hot coffee. Not forgetting, he ordered food from a restaurant that was already open nearby.
Riki took his coffee to the rooftop of the office building.
He sat relaxed in the corner, enjoying the beautiful morning view.
Riki could even see the clear morning sky, complete with the chirping of birds in the morning. It was like a pleasant morning lody.
In that relaxed atmosphere, a woman suddenly appeared. The woman was unaware that Riki was also there.
[Your first mission is to stop the woman from committing suicide]
Riki almost spit out his drink after seeing the mission.
Suicide, said the system?
Riki looked back at the woman who was still standing there, crying softly. The woman was standing near the railing.
The roof of the building had a railing that wasn’t very high. It was only about a ter high.
But, according to Riki, it would be difficult to commit suicide from there. But it turned out that the woman was dragging a wooden chair that was almost too heavy. She was ready to jump.
Before jumping, the woman looked hesitant, then she scread very loudly.
"YOU FAT, FUCKING BASTARD!! AFTER RAPING , YOU FIRED AS IF I WAS THE ONE WHO SEDUCED YOU, YOU BASTARD! I DON’T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT YOUR UGLY FACE!! DAMN IT!!!"
Riki was very shocked to hear the scream. Then, after he rembered, the woman was the secretary of one of the companies renting an office in that building.
