Modern Traveler-Chapter 83. Coffee

"Medicine? Are you giving this to me?" Kyedae questioned, a hint of skepticism in her voice. This was the first time someone had offered her something like this, and she wasn't sure what to do. She hesitated to drink it; after all, it was unfamiliar, and she worried that it might worsen her condition. She needed to be cautious.

"I know what you're thinking. If I were in your shoes, I would probably have the same reaction. Let me explain: this liquid is a complete cure for any kind of cancer. I'm not joking—I'm serious. If you drink this, you will be cancer-free. It's your decision to drink it or not; even if you decide not to, you'll find out soon enough anyway. The owner just wanted to find a deserving person to give this formula to," I said, handing her the vial.

Tenz looked at Kyedae with concern. He wanted to believe what Neo had said, but it felt unreal at the same time. He found himself torn between emotions—happy at the thought of a cure or sad about the possibility that it might turn into another false hope.

Sakura was beginning to lean toward believing Neo. It was uncertain whether her faith stemmed from her trust in Neo's abilities or her desire to hope that her sister would get better. Even though she just met Neo today, she has this feeling that Neo won't harm them

Poki and Rae were just observing the choice Kyedae would make. Even they were uncertain about how effective the medicine would be.

"Can I drink this before I see the doctor tomorrow? I just want to be sure. I'm not doubting you, Neo, but I don't want to take any risks now that I feel a little better," Kyedae said.

"You can drink it, don't worry. This medicine has been tested and proven effective. It's just that the owner is very particular and doesn't want greedy people getting their hands on this product," Neo replied.

Enjoying coffee and relaxing felt really good, and having someone to share it with made it even better. Tenz invited me to join him on a stream with his former team. When he saw how good I was, he wanted to witness my skills himself.

Kyedae and Sakura were having a conversation with Poki and Rae. Livestreamers usually know each other because they often collaborate, whether by playing video games or doing podcasts.

As for Sakura, she wasn't very active in livestreaming. You usually see her on Kyedae's streams. Tenz, on the other hand, used to play CS:GO and participated in tournaments, but faced a negative impact on his career. However, when Valorant was launched, his career was revitalized, and he started winning trophy after trophy. People even started calling him the strongest player in Valorant.

"Do you guys have somewhere else to go? I was planning to visit my friend at his workplace. If you don't have any plans, you should come with me," I invited them, knowing that Jack would be thrilled to see his idol, Tenz.

"We don't have any plans. We scheduled this as a rest day to meet up with you and take a little break," Kyedae replied.

"Actually, when you donated last night, we canceled all our plans for today," Poki added.

"Great! Then you should come with me. I'll treat you all. You won't be disappointed," Neo said.

"Okay, but you don't have to treat us, Neo. In fact, it would be better if we treated you! You gave us so much money last night, it would be ungrateful of us not to return the favor," Tenz responded.

"Don't worry. Money isn't a problem for me, I enjoy giving things to my friends." Neo, at this point, didn't care about money. If you thought he was buying friendship, then so be it. He knew very well what their true intentions were because of his ability to detect if someone had negative thoughts about him.

Currently, he was sensing that they were curious and grateful. It's better for you to surround yourself with people who have empathy and self-respect. They are the ones who are unlikely to do you any harm. I'm not saying they can't change, but they have a lower chance of doing something against their morals

"Let's go." We stood up and left the café. I led them to a car dealership where Jack was working now.

"So, where is your friend Neo?" Poki asked.

"Look at these cars! This is the first time I've been to a dealership with this kind of selection," Rae said.

Soon, Sakura, Kyedae, and Tenz arrived beside us after they parked their car.

"Are you buying a car, Neo? I saw on the news that you own a Bugatti Divo. That's a $5.8 million car!" Tenz asked.

"What? That car is that expensive? I thought sports cars were priced at $30,000 or $100,000," Sakura replied.

"This is not just a sports car; it's a hypercar. This type of car pushes the limits of what cars can do," Tenz explained.

"You seem knowledgeable about these cars, Tenz. I didn't know you liked them," Kyedae said. freēwēbnovel.com

"I like them, but I don't know much. I just pick up basic information when I stumble upon them online and read the comments. That's how I learned that there are three types of cars in this category."

"Let's go inside; maybe he will be there." We walked to the store, where a more luxurious car was parked. An agent who was talking to his co-worker noticed us enter, and his eyes immediately lit up. The same was true for his co-worker. Both were in their early twenties, which meant they spent a lot of time on the internet. They recognized who had entered the store.

"Hello, how can we help you?" the two said eagerly, rushing to greet us.

"Is Jack working here? Where is he?" Neo asked.

"Jack? Who's that?" the first agent replied, pretending not to know Jack.

"Jack? Oh, you mean Jack, the one who got his position because his girlfriend is the manager. Did he do something, sir?" They didn't recognize Neo since he was wearing sunglasses and a cap; that was usually his style when he went out.

"Can you call him for me? I need to talk to him," Neo said.

"Did that idiot Jack do something, sir? He's just a newbie here. I can call the manager if he did something wrong," Fitz replied. He had been working at the store for three years

"No problem at all. He was my friend. Call him for me" Neo didn't like these two, they were talking bad behind his friend.

"Really? How did Jack have friends with famous people? If it was not for the manager's help, he wouldn't be accepted in this store. Owen brought him here." He was badmouthing Jack in front of Neo.

"If you don't stop talking nonsense, ill punched you. Try me" Neo said calmly

"Look, I didn't mean to offend you, but that's what all the workers are thinking. He used the manager to get this job without putting in any hard work," Fitz said, filled with jealousy. The manager he used to like had just brought someone new to the store and announced that this person would be their new coworker. Fitz sensed that there was something going on between the two of them, which is why he couldn't stand Jack at all.
