They practiced until 7 PM before finally freshening up and leaving the Dojo.

“Let’s book a big table at Cloud Heaven Restaurant,” Zevien said with a grin, “we will go there with the kids after an hour.”

“Cough, brother, I am not trying to sound rude or anything, but Cloud Heaven Restaurant is very expensive. Since we are sixteen people going there to eat, the bill will easily surpass thirty thousand Lopax credits.”

“That’s cheap,” Zevien said with a laugh, “we are going to eat normal delicious food, not the tier-1 or higher food since we haven’t even become 5th class magicians yet.”

“How do you call that cheap?” Erica was speechless, “that is as expensive as a full course of tier-1 magic food.”

“Zevien, we need to save money as well because as we get stronger, we need to buy resources for our training and our magic occupation,” Vernisia said unhurriedly.

“It looks like I have no choice, or you all will keep nagging me,” Zevien sighed and showed them the numbers in his bank account.

“How did you get so much money?”

Everyone was shocked.

*screee..*

“Focus on driving, Vernisia,” Erica said.

Vernisia weakly smiled, “I am. I was just slightly startled.”

“I might as well tell you that I will open a business company as well,” Zevien said with a grin.

“Business company? What will it be about?” Erica asked with doubt.

“That’s a secret, but we will sell a very premium product and other products,” Zevien said with a glint in his eyes, “I can’t tell you about it because the premium product hasn’t been successfully invented yet.”

“Even if I failed to invent it, I have another use for the company, so it’s fine,” Zevien smiled.

“What will be the name of the company?” Dan asked curiously.

“Gaia Lifeline,” Zevien said with a grin.

“Cool,” Erina nodded, “let’s hope your company becomes successful.”

“It’s not mine alone,” Zevien said as his face slowly became solemn, “work with me so we can start earning money early. This will be our financial backing for future spending, resources, and training. I will not force you, but you can decide once I tell you about all of my plans after eight days.”

“Alright,” Erica, Vernisia, and Dan nodded.

…

Soon, they arrived at the Cloud Heaven Restaurant and booked a big table that could accommodate sixteen people. Ironically, this was not possible in medium and lower-class restaurants due to their sizes.

After booking the table, they went back to the orphanage and played with the kids until it was time for dinner.

Since the SUV couldn’t accommodate everyone, Zevien called three taxis.

After arriving at the restaurant, the kids were wide-eyed and excited. They had never seen such a big and elegant building.

The smell of food already watered their mouths.

“We are going to eat here? So cool…hehe, I can’t wait to eat.”

Zevien rubbed the kid’s head and smiled.

The kids were really excited to eat here.

Behind them, two young men looking around twenty or twenty-one years of age with two girls of the same age entered the restaurant.

Seeing them, a middle-aged man at another table lightly moved his fingers and used a subtle magic spell on them.

“It seems that big brother Zevien became rich after leaving the orphanage,” a five-year-old uttered with a dreamy face, “will we also become rich after becoming big and leaving the orphanage.”

“But this place really looks expensive…,” Nancy, the seven-year-old girl muttered and gulped.

“Heh, who brought these beggars here?” the boy with short dark green hair heard Nancy and remarked mockingly.

The group of four younger who just entered looked at them Zevien’s group with disgust in their eyes.

“They must be planning to wash dishes after eating,” the girl with thick make-up spoke. She was beautiful, but her eyes were mean.

“Watch your mouth, dumbass, or I will break it,” Dan snorted.

“Huh? I am just stating facts,” the young man spoke as he raised his eyebrows, “look at their clothes and drolling mouths. How unbecoming of this place.”

Vernisia saw the kids getting nervous and slightly scared. She gritted her teeth and frowned, “shut up. They are far better than you bastards.”

“And your mouth only speaks rubbish,” the girl with that boy spoke with a mocking smile, “get out from here and don’t disgrace yourselves anymore.”

“Says the ugly bitch with no real skin on her face,” Erica spoke indifferently, causing the girl’s face to turn red.

The young man also became angry hearing that and shouted, “Security! Get these beggars out of here!”

“Big brother…,” the kids were becoming more scared, and mother Helena was also slightly nervous because of them, “Zevien….”

“We have already booked our table here,” Zevien spat coldly, “now, things will get ugly if you don’t shut up and go about your own business.”

Hearing that, the young man smirked, “so what?” He saw the security guards arriving and pointed at them, “give them back their reservation money and throw them out.”

The four security guards looked at Zevien and others, “please, go out. Your reservation money will be returned in a minute.”

‘Sigh, just what those bastards get by insulting normal people?’ the security guards sighed internally.

They looked at Zevien and others with helpless expressions.

Zevien and others understood that the young man who spoke was likely related to the owner of this restaurant, maybe their son?

“Let’s go,” Zevien said as he looked at the young man coldly, “we will go to an even better restaurant than this.”

“Damn, I really feel like beating them to a pulp,” Dan muttered angrily. Vernisia and Erica were very angry about this as well, but fighting here will only cause them trouble.

As Zevien walked passed them, he paused and turned to them before asking indifferently, “are you happy now?”

“Hehe, very happy,” the young man sneered.

“Good,” Zevien nodded before he continued walking with a cold glint in his eyes, “let’s see how long you remain happy after this.”

Because of this, the kids were scared and insecure, and Zevien wasn’t about to let this pass by.

After Zevien and others left, the young man scoffed, “even better restaurant than this? Hahaha, I’ll see how you go there.”

“Frad, don’t tell me you are going to…,” the thick-make-up girl beside him spoke before she chuckled without finishing her sentence.

Frad activated his Digi-watch and contacted some people.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man who used magic on Frad and the other three looked at Zevien’s group leaving with a glint in his eyes, ‘I hope you move according to my expectation, youngsters with hot blood.’

…

Zevien and others called taxis again before moving to another high-class restaurant, but it was full.

The manager told them with a straight face that it was full despite everyone seeing empty tables in the restaurant.

They went to another restaurant, but they got the same response from it.

In the end, they understood that it was planned by that bastard since those high-class restaurants always have each other’s contacts, and they wouldn’t mind doing such little favors for each other despite the competition.

The kids were tired and hungry while Zevien, Vernisia, Erica, and Dan were fuming because of this.

Everyone had arrived back at the orphanage.

Some kids were already tearful, but mother Helena consoled them.

“It’s my fault,” Erica said with a guilty face, “I insulted harshly, and that’s why he decided to cancel our reservation, and things escalated. We could’ve eaten there if we didn’t say anything back. The kids were so looking forward to eating there.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Zevien shook his head, “let’s go and eat at the riverfront. There are many small stalls, and the space is big as well. Enough to accommodate all of us.”

“Yeah, the food there is good,” Vernisia said as she forced out a sweet smile for the kids, “you are all hungry, right? We can eat there in front of beautiful scenery and fresh air. I have eaten there before, and they have a variety of food.”

“Really? Then let’s go; I am very hungry,” the six-year-old girl rubbed her tummy.

Zevien nodded with a weak smile, “this big brother really let you all down today.”

“It’s not big brother Zevien’s fault,” the kids said.

“Those are just bad people, humph. Mother Helena told us that just as there are good people, there are also bad people.”

Mother Helena smiled hearing that and patted the kid. She was glad that these kids were very understanding.

“Hahaha, well said. Now, let’s go! We shall eat to our heart’s content. As for those bad people? They will get punished soon,” Dan said with a laugh to cheer up the kids.

Everyone then went to the riverfront section where food stalls are established and ate there.

Zevien and Dan looked at each other before nodding with a cold glint in their eyes.

“Let us join in the plan as well,” Erica and Vernisia softly said as they looked at them, “we can’t sleep peacefully after seeing how they harassed us, especially the kids.”

“The kids wanted to eat there. It was clearly visible in their faces how happy and excited they were to go there,” Vernisia said as she clenched her fists, “those four need a beating, a solid one.”
