Donar had led Nolan and Riri to the biggest city in the Tron World, Megatron City. There were hawkers, merchants, scouts and all kinds of people, in short, this place was bustling with activity. Donar led them along the lively streets of the hustle and bustle, all the way to a restaurant called Delicious Taste.

This was the best restaurant in Tron and it didn't just sell delicious food but also bought beast carcasses in order to make these delicacies. Many adventurers and hunters came here when there was meat to sell. The couple running this place weren't stingy with the money and bought meat at fair prices.

The only downside of this establishment was the sitting place. Instead of sitting inside the restaurant, the sitting area was set up outside and not in a fancy and high-end manner.

Circular stone tables that could accommodate eight people per person were placed on a huge open space, under the heat of the sun. And coming here at night wasn't possible because the couple closed the restaurant when dusk approached. It was like this restaurant hated its diners and wasn't afraid to show them.

When Donar came here with Nolan, many tables were occupied, delicacies filled the tables and everyone ate without talking. The diners savoured every bite as the food was just so delicious.

Nolan chose a table to sit down and Donar went inside the restaurant to order. In fact, this was the only time that a customer was allowed into the restaurant. Nolan and Riri sat down and Nolan looked around in interest. All the people here were very strong, the weakest ones were at the Nova Realm while the strongest, Nolan couldn't see through.

Donar returned after five minutes and had already placed an order and their food would be brought to them very soon.

“So tell me, why are we sitting literally in the heat? Why don't the owners create some sort of shade for us?” asked Nolan.

“Well, I heard that the dining place was inside the restaurant once upon a time but due to people constantly fighting and destroying furniture, the owners had had enough and moved the place here. But this didn't seem to be enough because they then uprooted all the trees and only left an empty open space.”

The duo chatted happily while Riri listened from the side. And time quickly passed, a middle aged woman wearing a dress and an apron came to their table holding a huge platter and a small platter of food. The big platter of food was for Donar and Nolan while the small one was for Riri.

“Greetings gentlemen… and lady, here's your food. Please enjoy.” said the middle aged woman before leaving.

Nolan and Donar dug in before the middle aged man woman even left, the food was juicy, tasty and extremely delicious. Everything served was cooked to perfection, the meat, the vegetables, the gravy, everything was perfect. And just like everyone else, the duo also ate in silence, Riri also enjoyed her food in silence.

“That was absolutely delicious!”

“No wonder they named the restaurant Delicious Taste, it truly lives up to its name. I've dined here a few times but the taste hits differently every time.”

Nolan and Donar chatted happily while drinking wine that the restaurant sold. This bottle of wine was quite cheap because Donar bought wine that was within Nolan's limits, meaning, wine that Constellation Realm warriors could drink. While they were chatting, someone suddenly came and sat with them.

“Hi guys, I hope you don't mind me sitting here. All the tables are fully occupied and only yours has a place to sit.” said the person. It was a middle aged man wearing tattered clothes, his face was dirty and his teeth were yellow. The man was probably a beggar.

Nolan looked at the man with a peculiar gaze, Riri remained silent, her expression couldn't be seen under the hood and Donar had an angry and disgusted look. He was angry because this beggar first sat down before asking for permission to sit and he was disgusted because the man was a beggar. He was about to send him away but Nolan stopped him.

Nolan then poured a drink for the beggar and gave it to him. This was Nolan's friendly gesture.

“You look tired and thirsty, have a drink. Donar, go order some food for my new friend, hurry up.” said Nolan.

The beggar accepted the wine Nolan gave him and gulped it all down before he wiped his mouth. The beggar then gave Nolan a deep look before sighing.

“You don't look like a good person no matter how hard you try to hide it so why aren't you acting according to the script?” asked the beggar as he took the wine bottle and chucked it down.

“And what makes you say that? We've just met.” said Nolan with a smile.

“That girl over there. You've been secretly eyeing her the moment you came here. I gotta say, she does have some ‘good’ qualities. And that guy over there, you've been eyeing that little girlfriend of his too, correct me if I'm wrong.”

“You watch too many movies. But I have to admit, you have sharp eyes. Isn't it a villain's nature to want to bully others? I chose them as my targets but unfortunately, my strength is still lacking so I can't do anything. And you are wrong about one thing, I never hide my character. As for your script, it's cliche, boring and makes me look stupid so I don't even bother following it.”

“Interesting. How is the script boring, if you don't mind me asking.” said the beggar.

“It's very simple. Although I don't know the exact star realms of everyone here, I'm 100% sure that all of them are weaker than my bodyguard. I can see it from his eyes that he doesn't take anyone here seriously, game recognises game after all. So even though there are many empty seats, you still chose my seat purposefully to enrage me and a conflict would arise.

You'd fight against Donar and win, then you'd run away and I would lose face. Then, in order to regain my face, I'd send more lackies and you'd defeat all of them. I would then try to play dirty by targeting your family and friends, only to find out that most of them have powerful backgrounds. This feud would then continue for years till the day you come to kill me. I say the script is boring and makes me look stupid because if you're targeting me then it means you have the capabilities to back up your actions.”

“Talking from experience?”

“Yes, you guys are like cockroaches, very difficult to kill since something always happens and you somehow manage to not only live to fight another day but obtain something that would boost your strength. I learned about you guys the hard way, hehe.”

“Hahaha, you're very interesting. Are your targets still alive or what? People like us are quite vengeful after all, holding grudges for the smallest slight.”

“That's why I said ‘ very difficult’ and not ‘impossible’ to kill.”

“HAHAHA! You're very interesting my friend. My name is Garry.]

“Nolan.”
