Chapter 56 Cursed?

?At the foot of the mountain.

The members of the club gathered around.

A man named Vince spoke at this time, "Where should we eat this time?"

"Well, everyone give any suggestions," said James.

Hearing what he said, everyone started giving suggestions here and there.

"I want to go to Mountain's Fragrance, it's been a while since I last went there~" Mika, one of the females in the group, shyly suggested.

When the other girls heard the name Mountain's Fragrance, their eyes lit up and one by one they started to agree with Mika.

"Yes, I also want to go to Mountain's Fragrance.~"

"Their cakes there are still the best for me."

"Yes, plus there are a lot of spots that are picture worthy. I'll take a lot of selfies!"

…

The men in the group suddenly paused, they looked at each other and saw the helpless look in each other's eyes.

Since the girls have already chosen a place, they'll just go with it as they don't want to become the girl's enemy.

Just thinking about it already causes shivers down their spine.

Seeing that the decision has been made, James said, "Since everyone wants to go to Mountain's Fragrance, that's where we will eat this time."

The girls immediately cheered.

"Huh? Why is everyone cheering, did I miss something?"

At this time, Nathan came back.

Earlier, after going down the mountain, he hurriedly went to his car to fix something uncomfortable on his clothes as well as dropping his bag.

Because of that, he missed the group's talk about where to eat.

"Oh, you're back." James approached him and said, "This is like a tradition. Everytime we finish a hike, we first eat something before each of us goes our separate ways."

Nathan nodded in understanding, "So, where are we going to eat then?"

"It was the girls who made the decision this time, they wanted to go to Mountain's Fragrance Cafe so we'll be going there." James sighed helplessly.

Hearing the name of their destination, Nathan was surprised.

However, it only lasted for a few seconds.

With all the roller coaster feelings he's been experiencing in this short amount of time, Nathan is really finally starting to learn to control his emotions.

He just nodded calmly, "Is that so? Let's go then."

To begin with, there's nothing to be surprised about.

If you think about it, Mountain's Fragrance is a popular cafe, it's just normal to hear others wanting to go to it.

So Nathan accepted it quickly.

He looked around and saw that all the other members of the club have their own car and from the looks of it, each one of them cost a few million pesos.

'Looks like the members here are all rich people, huh.' he thought.

Soon, everyone got in their own vehicles and drove away.

*Vroom!*

Nathan was the last to leave.

30 minutes later.

The group arrived at the cafe without a hitch.

Entering the cafe, they were welcomed by employees lifelessly.

Although the others don't seem to notice anything amiss, Nathan already has his brows frowning.

'What the hell is really happening here?'

Nathan was perplexed at what was happening in this supposedly very popular cafe.

Because of that, he finally decided to make a move.

Silently using Appraisal on one of the employees.

[Name: Lorenzo De Guzman

Power Level: 1

Status: Cursed

Profession: None

Soul Talent: Hair Growth (Dormant)

Skills: None

Details: 26 years old male... ]

After seeing the status of this employee, Nathan's face immediately darkened.

"Hey, man. What's the matter?"

Ken, who's standing beside him at this moment, noticed the change in Nathan's mood.

Thinking that he doesn't feel good, he asked, "Are you not feeling good?"

When Irish heard that, she immediately walked towards them.

"What? Do you feel unwell, Nathan?" she asked with a worried face.

Seeing that the people around him are getting worried, Nathan fixed his expression.

He shook his head with a wry smile, "No, don't worry I'm good."

Thinking that this is a good reason to slip to do some investigation in the cafe, he said,

"I'll go to the bathroom for a bit."

Without waiting for anyone's reply, he hurriedly walked towards the back of the cafe.

After making sure that no one could see him, Nathan continued walking then he stopped in front of the Manager's Office.

Without knocking, he opened the door.

Inside the office, he saw a man who looked to be in his late 30's to early 40's behind the Manager's desk.

He was holding his head with a weary look on his face.

Noticing that someone entered his office, he slowly looked up and stared at Nathan with dull eyes.

"Who?" he said, his voice bland.

Looking directly into his eyes, Nathan walked in front of the desk calmly and stated, "I am the new owner of this place."

There was silence for a few seconds before the man responded.

It seems like he recovered a little vitality as he hurriedly stood up from his seat and said, "You, you're Mr. Nathaniel Fernandez?"

Document did not say anything else and just took out the document he got from the system and showed it to the man.

The man respectfully reached out for it and read it.

While he was doing that, Nathan used Appraisal on him.

[Name: Joseph Samudyo

Power Level: 1

Status: Cursed

Soul Talent: Merchant (Dormant)

Skills: None

Details: 38 years old man with a wife and a daughter. He studied business at Harvard when he was 18 and graduated as one of the best. Currently living on...]

Seeing the cursed status, Nathan was not surprised as he can already see it from Joseph demeanor.

What made him a little surprised though was the details of this man's life.

With a raised eyebrow, he wondered, 'What is a man who graduated as one of the best in Harvard working in this small cafe?'

Because of that, Nathan's curiosity was piqued.

He squinted his eyes and looked deeply into Joseph.

He thought, 'Interesting.'
