The Strongest Businessman

He could not help but wonder what was this origin of the rock? How was it able to enter the mansion?! He was really confused about the rock.

"Oh, well, most light novels have this type of twist. But I think it should be a treasure that will help me in my future adventures." Dylan decided to disregard the rock in the Cosmic God Mansion.

Dylan exited the forest and headed towards the Gardenford Restaurant. He moved swiftly and dashed to the gates. He took out his keys and hie opened the door right after. He prepared the tables and the chairs while waiting for the arrival of his employees.

When his employees arrived, he coordinated with them to finish the preparation of the table sets. After the completion of the preparations, he ordered them to change clothes and switch to their uniforms.

Dylan was waiting for his employees to finish changing clothes. While waiting, he heard a very familiar voice. When he turned around to take a look, he caught sight of that beautiful little scarlet haired girl who was his little sister. His heart warmed at the sight of his little sister. This type of warmth was the kind that a person could only feel to his kin and family.

"Brother." The little Scarlet squeaked.

"Hiii, lil sis." Dylan pinched Scarlet's cheeks with both of his hands.

"Owww, big bro, stop doing that." Scarlet complained.

"Hahaha okay okay." Dylan laughed in return.

"Hmph! You've been spending all your time to this restaurant and forgot about your pretty lil sis." Scarlet pouted at him.

"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, somehow." Dylan apologized as he also felt guilty with leaving out Scarlet after he started his restaurant. The fact that his little sister helped in washing the dishes even though she felt tired, made him guilty even more. Even if the plates were piling up endlessly, she still insisted on helping despite Dylan getting more employees and having them switch in a Dishwasher Shift. She was the one who washed the dishes for the entire first day. On the second day, she had some load off because of the Dishwasher Shift that Dylan devised. But, since the customers kept increasing also they were forced to cancel the Dishwasher Shift and continued with the proceedings of customer welcoming.

"How?" Scarlet was still pouting when she said that but there was a faint smile mixed with it.

"How about I'll cook you a great meal for breakfast?" Dylan offered.

"Hmmm, okay. I accept but this doesn't mean I'm not complaining anymore. Hmph." Scarlet turned her head sideways as she said those words.

"I know. I know." Dylan simply smiled after saying this as he proceeded to the cooking platform.

Scarlet sat in a table near him. After several minutes if waiting, Scarlet divulged in the luxurious and high class food. She was extremely happy about this treat from her brother. Dylan was smiling the entire time when she saw her sister's beautiful smile. Although he found Scarlet beautiful, he did not have any desire of romance because he still loved Rose.

'Oh, Rose, how I miss you. I wish you are doing well.' Dylan thoughts of melancholy kept flowing bit by bit.

The times he spent with Rose kept coming back to him. The dates they had, the nights they spent watching the stars, and the times they spent together. It all kept coming back to him. He could still see the face and the smile of that peerless beauty. A tear went down on his face as he remembered a scene that made his heart break.

Outside​ of a 5-star restaurant...

This was the same scene wherein Dale left the Dylan after punching him on the face. The crowd was shocked by what suddenly happened. There were some that were trying to find a camera as they thought that this superstar level looking people were shooting a tragic scene for a movie. They felt like they were acting because it felt so realistic that it seemed like acting. But, when they confirmed that there were no cameras, they felt pity and sympathy for the brothers.

"Why..." Dylan was feeling lost as he was left by his brother.

"Oh... Dylan...." Rose placed her hands to his cheeks and looked at Dylan worriedly.

"If I only knew... I..." Dylan's​ eyes were like rain pouring down from the sky.

"If you only knew, you would have never thought of meeting me?" Rose smiled.

"No.. that's... not .... what I mean is..." Dylan could not organize his thoughts. He was too caught with the pain he was feeling that moment.

"I understand. But, I am at fault too, you know. I declined Dale's feelings for me for the sake of my belief that love at first sight and falling in love for the first time because I believe that First love is pure, lasting and undying...." Rose self depreciated.

"I thought that my belief would not be able to come true and I know that this is a selfish desire. However, all throughout my life, I have been doing what my parents said and helped all people I see in need. I thought that I should be selfish for once so I decided to wait. My siblings got lovers way before I did. But you changed all of that when you became the love of my life... I love you Dylan..." Rose hugged the crying Dylan and kissed him on the forehead.

Presently....

Dylan's​ tear reached down to his neck. Dylan had really missed Rose so much. Dylan kept saying that he needed to become as strong as Seven Kills God first before he is able to traverse dimensions as easy as walking by it. So, his urge to become stronger became even stronger.

Unknowingly, the scene in his mind changed when he thought of his lover. It was another place and the beautiful rays of 3 different moonlights bathed that place as it focused on a bridge.

'This is where the past Dylan met Princess Elizabeth, right? Why am I thinking of this again?' Dylan said.

Dylan still couldn't happen why this happened everytime she thought of rose. But he slowly started to realise that this may have been the past Dylan's feelings for Princess Elizabeth. The past Dylan's motivation was what Princess Elizabeth said to him that night. That motivation became​ inspiration as the days pass in his training. That inspiration became fancy after weeks of training. Finally, his fancy for her became love as months have passed in his training.

Dylan felt more conflicted by what was happening to him. Having two sets of memories gives birth to two different sets of emotions. Although Dylan was the one who controls his body currently, but his mind and heart was still not originally his even though he knew he increasingly became more like his past life's self. His heart felt conflicted having loved two persons at the same time.

Dylan stopped thinking of this matter for a second when he saw that a group of man wearing beast skin clothing arrived in front of his restaurant. He knew this was this month's supply of meat. He greeted the people who came to deliver the supply and invited them to eat before they left.

Who could say no to such an offer? That was why they were able to enjoy the quality cooking that Dylan was famous about in the Soaring Cloud City. After a while, the supply for the herbs and spices finally came and the equipments came after. Dylan all offered them to eat before they left. So after eating these men happily left with a full stomach after bidding farewell to Dylan.

After which working hours came once more as the customers kept coming in. It was a good thing that the number of customers did not add once more and was still 300. So Dylan was still occasionally helping his employees out but not with the same frequency as yesterday. He kept checking for Scarlet's condition at the kitchen. It was a good thing that Allana was stuck with dishwashing too so the load with Scarlet halved. Scarlet and Allana liked each other's company as they both are mischievous and playful by nature. Dylan could hear some laughing every once in a while.

This made Dylan smile knowing that her little sister was happy with the company of another person. Dylan continued to cook as well as he always have. His employees were also adapting faster to this type of pressure. They were still able to keep up just slightly. Their overall performance was already 7.8 rating. This made Dylan happy that their progress was steadily following the pace he assigned. The overall progress of the restaurant was really satisfying for Dylan.

After lunch, Dylan conducted another Job acceptance in which he was able to gain 52 new employees. All of which were of decent standard of working. So all in all, he had 85 employees now. Unlike the first batch, Dylan had to conduct a seminar first so that this new batch of employees would be able to follow the experiences that the first batch had. Dylan was able to teach them various things and gave a lot of tips regarding customers service. So when night arrived, they did quite well but, of course, they could not compare to the first batch.

A week passed. The Gardenford Restaurant became even more livelier than usual. It's normal number of customers were 400 a day. Jumped to 450 at the end of this week. Dylan had to make the foods all by himself at first but in the second batch, he was able to encounter a man who said in his application form that he has been a chef for all of his life. His name was Alden Hanes. Dylan of course guided and trained him before he allowed him to cook publically. Dylan was able to find another who was able to cook good food and the name of this girl was Marielle Kurt.

After 3 days of constant training, the two were finally able to produce food that was of Dylan's standards. So, Dylan finally allowed them to cook beside him at the cooking platform. Allana was also done with her punishment and was able to work as usual again. Scarlet was finally able to rest because the number of employees his brother were large enough to implement the Dishwasher Shift.

In this one week, Dylan was able to earn a little over a million of silver coins which was equal to 10000 gold coins. When word got to the three giants, they were shocked. In one week, he was able to gain 10 000 gold coins that was the same as their income for a week as well. How was a new establishment which was only a week old able to compare to their century old establishment?! This type of management skill and business tactics left them in shock.

As the Gardenford Restaurant fame spread all over the city, money would just be piling up for Dylan. He truly deserved to be called the Greatest businessman of Earth!

On the gates of Soaring Cloud City, a carriage arrived. The carriage had the insignia of three stars with the insignia of a country of color red and had an "M" engraved at the middle of it. If Pavilion Head Galagher was here he would be able to recognize that this insignia was the insignia of the "Mystical Magnate Tower" of Mystic Red Cloud Country.

A person got out of the carriage. He wore a robe that bore that same insignia in his back. The starts implied the level of the Mystical Magnate in the Mystical Magnate Tower. Thus, this man was a true pledged Tier 3 Mystical Magnate.

"Soaring Cloud City... My masters origin, huh...." That man slowly said as the sunlight flashed through his young and handsome face.
