"It is just that I was thinking about something. I thought about expanding the restaurant for you. What do you think? Can you take it being a boss of a very big restaurant chain?" Michael asked.

He had already thought things through. Previously, he thought, since he was already involved in the restaurant business, he could as well expand it.

He wanted to make sure that every industry that he was involved in, he would be able to dominate.

Even though the restaurant that the old man was currently in charge of was considered to be the old man's, it was still registered under his name.

So, he thought, why not expand it? As for the capital, it was the money that he had won the previous day.

"A big boss of a restaurant chain? No, there is no need. I am quite satisfied with the current restaurant. If you expand it, my old body will not be able to take the workload of managing several restaurants spread in different parts of the city." John was confused at first, but he quickly refused later on.

He of course understood what Michael was trying to imply. From his words, it seemed that he was intending to expand the restaurant.

The old man knew that Michael had money, but he was not willing to have Michael continue spending on them. After all, he had already done a lot for them.

To allow them to escape the clutches of the gangsters, then give them a place to stay, and a source of sustenance, it was already enough. The old man had never dreamed that after he had retired, he would be considered a boss of a big restaurant.

Previously, he thought that the restaurant that Michael would get him would be small. But unexpectedly, it was actually the biggest restaurant in the street that it was located in.

If compared to the other restaurants available in the district, it was considered to be small. But even then, it was sustainable. After all, the income was quite stable, and they were making profits.

"Don't rush to refuse me. After all, I am planning to expand the restaurant anyway. So, I had thought, what if I acquire the other restaurants, and have you manage them in the form of a restaurant chain?

You don't have to actively deal with the management, as I will send someone over to take care of that. You will be in charge of making the major decisions, but you don't have to worry about the person that I will send.

It will be someone that is skilled in their field, so, it should not be a problem for him to be able to make the decisions that will positively impact the business." Michael went ahead and explained.

The old man was a little surprised that Michael wanted to send someone over. But then again, he thought, if Michael really expanded the restaurant, it really needed someone with the necessary skills.

He did not have much of a problem managing the current restaurant. After all, it did not need many major decisions to be made.

But as soon as the restaurant began expanding, it would inevitably need to compete with the others. At that time, some major decisions would have to be made.

The old man was not that much skilled when it came to business management. So, if there was an expert that could be sent over to deal with that, that would be great.

"Then, what about the money? You know, to be able to expand into a restaurant chain, a lot of money is required. If you start impulsively, you might end up losing everything." The old man laid out his worries.

"About the money, you don't have to worry. I made quite a fortune recently, as I won big. I have several million dollars on me. It should be enough to be able to expand the restaurant into a restaurant chain, creating a brand of its own." Michael responded.

The old man went silent for a moment. Of course, Michael could tell that the old man was wondering about the money.

This was the exact reason why Michael did not mention the exact amount of money that he had. If the old man knew that his account currently had almost a billion dollars, how would he react?

To avoid the old man from being shocked in his old age, he decided to only mention a few million. But still, this was shocking to the old man.

"Okay then. I will make the preparations. But remember, don't stray from the right path. If you stray, it will be very difficult to be able to turn back." The old man agreed then gave a reminder.

"You don't have to worry. All the money that I have is legitimate." Michael responded.

But just as he was about to end the call, considering that he had already dealt with the old one, intending to plan on what to do next, the old man suddenly asked.

"It has been a few days since I last saw that little girlfriend of yours. Why don't you come together to visit me? As long as you are free, I would like to see you guys." The old man spoke, the serious demeanor that he had before, completely vanished.

Michael was left speechless. When had Kate become his girlfriend? Was the old man not deliberately teasing him?

Regardless, he thought, he would still need to go to the old man's place later on. After all, he had to make the introductions between the old man and the person that he would send over.

After all, he was planning to send over a bio human. The bio human was going to be in charge of dealing with the business, including the expansion of the business, hiring talents and so on.

But apart from that, the bio human was also going to be in charge of the security of the old man.

The connection between Michael and the old man would inevitably be exposed. At that time, once his enemies realized that they could not do anything to him, they might end up targeting the old couple and the others from the orphanage.

And that was a situation that was quite difficult to deal with. So, he thought, he could as well send someone over, to be in charge of their security.

Good thing, bio humans did not need to sleep. Additionally, it almost felt as though they had infinite amount of energy, never getting tired.

That was why Damian and Lucas had already acquired many skills, despite them only having been bought a few days ago.

As for Adrian, he was the one that was most skilled. After all, he had been in this world for the longest duration.

The versatility of the bio humans and their ability to learn was quite enviable. But thankfully, he had a system, that allowed him to be able to gain skills just from reading.

Otherwise, he would have also been feeling envious of the bio humans' abilities.

Back to the issue regarding the old man's invitation, Michael thought about it, and agreed. In any case, he would just ask Kate when she would be available, so that she could go to visit the old couple.

It seemed that Rebecca was quite fond of Kate. That was why Michael was willing to invite her to go over. After all, most of the other orphans were quite busy helping out where they could at the restaurant, while some of them had joined some vocational training colleges.

As for the younger ones, the topics that they could talk about with Rebecca were quite limited. So, Kate giving Rebecca company was not that bad.

After hanging up the call, Michael entered the system store, before he made a purchase. He purchased a bio human, of the same category as Adrian and the other two, Lucas and Damian.

This bio human was named Benjamin. Benjamin had a medium build, with blonde hair and gray eyes.

Michael also bought the adaptive dermal lattice armor for Benjamin, who quickly applied it, increasing his protection. After that, Michael asked Adrian to take charge of Benjamin.

He would go to see John together with Benjamin some time later, maybe in a few days. So, during those few days, Benjamin could gain some skills, and help out with the issue regarding the supermarket chain and Sky Technologies.

With the two purchases that he made, 500 SP for the armor, and 110 SP for the bio human, his balance was brought down to 35,232.

Having dealt with this, Michael decided to learn yet another skill. That was, archery.

By the time that evening was approaching, he had already pushed the skill to the expert level, gaining another 6,011 points, with his total rising to 41,243 points.

To Michael, the day was almost uneventful. Apart from dealing with the few appointments that he had, including informing Martin about Jessica, the only big thing that he did was to acquire the two skills.

But the same could not be said about the world outside. By afternoon, all the news regarding the Kingsley family had disappeared. It was not that those platforms had managed to remove them, but instead, Adrian had retracted them.

After all, the evidence regarding the crimes of the Kingsley family were already solid, making it impossible for them to avoid judgment.

As for Michael, after he was done with pushing the archery skill to the expert level, he thought about acquiring the permission to be allowed to be able to fly helicopters and other types of planes.

Just like the driving license that he had, he believed that he could find the document that could give him the permission to be able to fly.

As soon as he thought about that, he accessed the system store, before he began filtering, finally managing to find what he was looking for.
