Eve Before the Opening

"Vrooom! Vrooom!"

Trevor opened the window on his side as he drove the car slowly towards the restaurant. 

"Cale, how was your mission in Macau?"

Trevor smiled as he enjoyed the flirting glances of the women who saw him drive the car. 

"It was a good experience! And tomorrow, I will be out on a mission as well. But don't worry, your first job will start in two days' time."

Cale suddenly felt his phone which was on silent mode vibrate on his pocket.

'An unknown caller? Who is this?' Cale was surprised to see an unknown caller calling him, but he still answered as it might be something important.

Cale silently waited for the caller to talk first as he put on one earphone on his left ear while leaving the other dangling.

"Hello, is this Mr. Cale?" A beautiful voice entered his ears making him smile unconsciously.

"Yes, is there anything you need me for young miss Sima Ying?" Cale's voice sounded detached and cold, but Trevor could see a bright smile hanging on his handsome face.

Sima Ying felt a bit disappointed at the cold tone of Cale, but she still enthusiastically replied. "I just wanted to inform you, Mr. Cale, that we will fly there in the Philippines later this evening."

"Oh, that's great to hear. I would like to welcome the Sima Family personally, but I am currently preparing for another mission tomorrow." There was no change in Cale's tone of voice and he still sounded cold.

"Oh, be careful out there Mr. Cale. My brother still wanted to see you." Sima Ying laughed mischievously, but she was inwardly disappointed that she won't be able to see Cale.

"Thank you young miss Sima Ying. Be careful on your journey too. Don't worry, I will let Santharus come pick you guys up. Your beauty will surely attract unwanted attention, so..." Cale swallowed the words he was about to say and facepalmed himself for having said his inner thoughts.

His cold voice sounded warm in Sima Ying's ears making her little heart jump in excitement. "So? What is it, Mr. Cale?" She sounded a bit more upbeat this time as she asked Cale.

"Ah, just be careful. I'll disconnect the call, for now, young miss Sima Ying. Something came up. Goodbye." Cale hastily disconnected the call for fear that he might again blurt out his inner thoughts.

"Tooot! Tooot! Tooot!"

Sima Ying kept her phone and a sweet smile can be seen plastered on her seamlessly beautiful face. 

"Who is that? And when did your English become this good? Were you just acting dumb in school?" Trevor glanced at Cale suspiciously.

"Just a friend I met in Macau. As for my English... Just drive the goddamn car towards the restaurant! I'm very hungry right now." Cale evaded the question while laughing lightly. It was only in front of Trevor that he can joke this carefreely.

Inside a restaurant, two men were eating ravenously like starved wolves. The waiter would have thought that these two men were beggars in disguise if not for the fancy car they rode earlier.

"Cale, what kind of mission are you doing tomorrow?" Trevor was obviously worried that his friend might be going on a dangerous mission.

"Well, Wolf King was planning on making a huge hangar and runway of his own. And he tasked me to find a suitable place for this project." Cale casually answered after swallowing the food in his mouth.

Trevor was relieved and stuffed a big piece of steak in his mouth. 

"Trevor, your first task is simple, but you need to be calm as well. Wolf King's Tyrannical Tower will be opened in two days and your job is to engage in idle talks with our visitors and if possible, make connections with them. You might not be doing good with your grades, but your eloquence is the best in our school." Cale would have looked cool when he said that, if not for a bit of grease on his lips.

"It was only when I was simply talking with our classmates. I don't even know how I could remain calm while talking with those people high up in society." Trevor was worried about making a fool out of himself.

"Trevor, you are representing Wolf King and those people are just cannon fodder in his eyes. So don't act like a pussy in front of them, because you are representing a much bigger force." Cale patted Trevor's shoulder to calm his friend down. The latter felt a bit better, but he was still nervous.

They talked about random things after that, while ignoring the other customers inside the restaurant who were looking at them strangely as the empty stacks plates on their table grew taller and taller.

Cale dropped Trevor home and told him before going away. "Brother, just wait here and by tomorrow, someone will come to pick you up."

"Yes sure. Be careful out there brother." Trevor waved goodbye and only went inside his home when he can no longer see the shadow of Cale's fancy car. 

On the evening of the same day, inside the Virtual Training Environment.

"Shit! I didn't know that I could use guns inside the Gravity Training Room. I should have known this when even food and water were available inside." Cale sighed with regret after knowing that he could just bring a gun inside the Virtual Training Room, and he can even store them inside his storage on the new function of "The Black Market" he just unlocked. The space inside the 'Storage' was about 20 cubic meters, not too small and not too large.

Two days have passed inside the Virtual Training room and Cale thought that it was about time to go out. He still needed to prepare for the opening of his Tyrannical Tower.

The moment Cale exited the Virtual Training Environment, he heard his phone rang.

"Hello my lord. We already picked up young master Trevor and he is inside the Tyrannical Tower now talking with sir Ulric. And also, sir Santharus already picked up the people from the Sima Family last night." Daphne's angelic voice sounded over the phone.

"Good job! I will now prepare for the incoming event tomorrow as well. Goodbye." Cale disconnected the call and his sight moved towards the dark sky outside the open window with profundity.
