Manchong Street

After inspecting his stats, Williard logged out from the game and woke up in the capsule. Getting out of the capsule, he freshened up and started making dinner. But then, stopped right in the middle of it, "ugh, I don't feel like eating this meal. Let's go out and eat. It's been a while since I ate some street food."

Picking his tablet, Williard mumbled, "Let's see the recommended places in the city." After searching for a few sites, he nodded, "all sites are saying this Manchong Street is the best place in town regarding street food."

Then, he immediately picked his car keys and went down to the garage to eat dinner out. Without informing Aster, Williard got out of the gate and started driving.

As soon as he crossed the gate, at Scarlet Group Leafway City's branch, one of the receptionists immediately informed her higher up who dispatched two guards as they heard an alarm, which means, their young master's car is going out alone since Williard scanned his ID at the gate to go out, instead of Aster's. It also might be a prank but it doesn't matter as Williard's safety is their top priority. They immediately tracked him down with the GPS tracker, which was installed on his phone, tablet, laptop, car, etc…

Meanwhile, Williard was driving carefully, following the map, and reached the place an hour later. After parking the car away, he began to walk towards one of the most crowded streets he has ever seen in his life. "Wow, this many people and these stalls, there must be at least a hundred stalls out here." With a smile on his face, Williard made his way towards one of the food stalls that have too much crowd.

What made him satisfactory is that he wasn't in the least got a little bit of attention from the people unlike his first week in the city, when he was accompanied by at least two to four bodyguards everywhere, attracting the attention of the passerby.

After buying Takoyaki, a juicy octopus fried dish, he started walking towards other food stalls while biting it, "hmm, what a great taste. Compared to that 5000 Credits Steak, this 50 credits street food is way more appetizing. Let's check out this grilled squid."

As he went to another stall, Williard asked, "excuse me, give me this one, what is it called, tie ban you yu? And this Baked Gluten too, um, Kao mia jin? Did I pronounce it right? Thank you."

Eating these Eastern continent street food, a delight appeared on Williard's face, "I should've listened to dad, before and enroll in Leafway university. These are extremely tasty and feel very authentic compares to those imitations back at Ecrin. Oh, let's try that Yakitori, my favorite. I wonder how the authentic one tastes like."

Waiting for 15 whole minutes before his turn came up, he took out a bite at this skewered chicken, a big smile appeared on his face as he thought, "this is the best one so far."

A couple of hours later, as he always finishes the meal with Ice cream, Williard made his way towards the Ice cream stand where he saw three girls buying them. "Excuse me, two butterscotch, please." Just when he was about to give his card to pay, he took a look at the girls, in which two of them are completely identical while the other one looks similar to them but was more beautiful and slightly older.

Looking at these girls who looked familiar somehow, Williard thought for a while and something suddenly clicked in his mind and he asked suddenly, "Hi, You the girls living on the 7th Floor from B-Block, right?"

The sisters looked at this unfamiliar young man in surprise, who was acting as he knew them. The girl who was standing in the middle asked with a frown on her face, "who are you? How do you know where we live?" Williard replied, "I'm Williard Ravens, I'm staying in C-Block. You can say we're neighbors."

"Eh? C-Block?" While the twins were surprised, their older sister replied seriously, "we know that no one stays in C-Block for years. Please get your information correctly if you want to flirt. Hyunjoo, Jiwon, Let's get going." As they left leaving Williard alone, who was stupefied by her response, the Ice Cream Seller grinned while patting his shoulder, "young man, you need to learn some pickup lines if you want to chase a girl, that beautiful."

"Eh? It isn't what you think. We're really from the same apartment complex. Anyway, do you have any new flavors, especially, any exotic fruit ones?" as Williard asked him, the Ice cream seller replied, "if you come in the morning, I would have shown you a lot more but now, I only have two. Fig and Dragon Fruit flavor."

"Ok, give each of them, a 1L box." After paying him, Williard took the two boxes with him and walked towards the parking lot, that's a street away from Manchong Street, he saw the three girls in a worry, standing beside their car while calling their father.

Seeing their situation, Williard broke out in a laugh, "pfft, hahaha. I just remembered an Eastern Continent saying, Heavens do give people their Karma." Ignoring the eldest sister's gaze, he threw the two Ice cream boxes in the back seat after opening his car door, and just when he's about to step inside, he turned his head and asked, "say, do you want a ride? I'm going back to the apartment. I can drop you there."

The eldest sister snorted, "No thanks. Our father is coming to pick us up. That Norman-Liger Sports Car and your clothes, anyone can tell that you don't suit this area, at all. You are stalking us, aren't you? Better listen to me and go away or else I will call the police."

Williard's face became dark at her response while looking at her seriously, "fine, Suit your selves. Seeing you are girls and you are staying in the same place as me, I thought of helping you out. But, misunderstanding my intentions twice isn't something I want to tolerate. Moreover, I've seen a lot of beautiful girls. You aren't that beautiful for me to waste my time and stalk you around. Good Bye."

As Williard left leaving behind the eldest sister, who is fuming in anger because of the comment, Hyunjoo said, "Hyori, you are too harsh on him, you know. He might be saying the truth. Maybe he just moved in recently."

At the same time, Jiwon laughed out and said, "Hyori, this is the first time I heard someone tell you aren't beautiful," Hyori replied, "You two are still naive. I've seen a lot of those types of guys in my college. Next year, once you get in the college, you two should also be wary of the guys out there, especially the ones with luxury cars and playboy appearances like him. They don't behave the same as your high school friends."

Meanwhile, Williard suddenly stopped the car after getting onto the highway. He sighed, "I guess I'm too soft on girls." Then, he called Aster and took the number of Lee Sangmin from him. A while later, he drove the car straight and then, took a U-turn and went back to that place and stopping the car surprising them. "Eh? Isn't that car…" As soon as she saw the car again, Hyori immediately dialed the police, "Hello, I'm talking from Manchong Street and some guy is stalking us. Can you please help us?"

As soon as Williard stepped out of the car, Hyori spoke with irritation, "you came back again? I just called the police. Leave from here while I'm being nice or else I will make a report on you, right now." Williard ignored her petty threats and dialed the number, "Hello, this is Williard Ravens. We just talked for a few minutes. Yeah, it's me. I'm passing the phone to them." He threw his phone towards one of the twins and said, "Here, your father is on the phone. Talk to him, first."
