They finished the coffee and started another game, the map is the same because the enemy and his team banned the other maps and Mirage was left after the banning.
This time, they started off as terrorists, they rushed A with two palace and three ramp, when it's pistol round and Vincent doesn't have an awp, he always supports their team by flashing or smoking the site.
Justin and Azrael went first with Vincent flashing from behind them to blind the enemies, the flash popped and blinded the enemies, Justin and Azrael ran towards the site with their two teammates in the palace rushing out with them.
Vincent flashed again and all of them turned back to not be flashed, Vincent then followed behind them, checking all corners to avoid getting killed while going into the site.
They obtained the site easily with Azrael getting five kills. It's now the second round and also the eco round, the eco round is basically buying the most cheapest things to save money and to buy rifles in the next round, but the three didn't care at all as this is only their alt accounts (Alternate accounts or second accounts.)
They all bought rifles and agreed to go to Mid to B, they didn't bother to smoke mid because they knew that the enemies are on eco and only have pistols, the round went smooth with each of them getting one kill.
Fifth round, the enemies have enough money to buy an awp, they argued on who to give the awp to but reluctantly agreed to give it to the guy closest to the nest area.
Azrael being the closest to mid gambled and went to mid with an Ak-47. He ran towards mid and waited for the guy to peek him, but instead of peeking at nest, the guy went connector [A/N: It's a tunnel with a staircase leading to the A site.]
Before the awper could scope out and shoot, Azrael subconsciously flicked towards the connector area and instantly headshot the guy.
The awper was furious but kept it to himself and typed in all chat, [Nice shot.], it's what players type when they're furious but couldn't express their anger or else they would get mocked.
The enemy's ranks weren't low, in fact, they are all Global Elites (Highest rank in the game.). At the 10th round, a guy in the enemy team ragequit because he always gets killed without even seeing the enemy, if he sees the enemy, he's already dead.
The trio's overall skill improved but slowly faded as the coffees effect ran out, they won the game and took a break, they cracked their fingers and necks to relieve the fatigue from playing.
"*Crack* What rank was that?" Justin asked.
Vincent laughed, "Our accounts probably got deranked to silver, that's why the enemies aren't that good."
The trio packed up their things and left after paying, Justin finally got the courage to ask Kate for her autograph and got it.
They waved goodbye to each other and went to their homes.
...
A week has passed, Apollo's regulars weren't Kate and the gang anymore, the three guys who were playing are also his regulars now.
They would come each day to eat fried rice and drink coffee while streaming, Justin even asked if they could bring their own tables and cameras so they could livestream in the restaurant.
Apollo didn't care and nodded, they would, of course, pay for the rental.
Actually, Apollo saw this as an opportunity, he knows the coffee has some special effects but didn't bother to care, but if this coffee really would boost their skills as they said, he would take this opportunity to build some kind of net cafe built with Atlas' equipment to pull in more customers, that's just some kind of thing Apollo thought up of while observing Justin and his friends.
Apollo is in his usual position, lazily sleeping in the counter.
In these few weeks that Levi has been here, he always observed Apollo because of that terrifying aura he released, it wasn't even a percent of his full power but Levi got so scared that he wanted to pee his pants that time.
Levi let his imaginations go wild, 'Is he perhaps a hermit or a hidden master?', 'How terrifying would his sect be if his sect nurtured this kind of monster!'
In these few weeks, Levi would get beaten up frequently and would need help from Apollo to heal him, he got so embarrassed that he didn't even dare look at Apollo in the eyes.
...
In an office building.
"Boss, we found him." A burly man said while kneeling.
A thin man in his late thirties grinned, "Good, good, where is his location?"
The burly man started to sweat, "W-well, he's frequently visiting a small restaurant near the beach."
The man grinned even harder, "Let's see how you would react if I were to destroy this small restaurant, God of Death, Levi."
His laugh filled the empty room, killing intent leaking from him.
The reason that the man, Ezra, wanted to find Levi so much is because of his power, not only did Levi singlehandedly annihilate a battallion, he has also crippled a great master with only a few broken bones.
The reason Ezra could manipulate Levi like a puppet is because of Levi's sister that Ezra held hostage to use Levi. He and Levi had a contract that as long as Levi obeys him and be his master for ten years, he would release his sister from the torture she has experienced for the last three years.
Ezra is the leader of a huge mafia organisation in the north, two hours away from Apollo's restaurant, his organization centered around drug trafficking, blackmailing, and assassins for hire.
Ezra has been the governments radar for a long time but they didn't have any sort of proof to arrest him. For extra profit, he also sells online, in the dark web. He live streams the people he kidnapped and torture them, he sells drugs, and for-hire assassins in his site.
He could easily kill Levi's sister, but then, he won't have something to blackmail him with.
...
In the restaurant, Levi got a hint from one of the passers-by that came to the restaurant solely to give him some sort of hint.
Levi nodded and took out his phone, he took out the back cover and changed sims. When he loaded the phone, he instantly received a ton of text messages, they all had the same contents, it's in the lines of, [Ezra is coming for you, be careful.]
The reason why Levi is stressed all the time is because of this Ezra, he has been working for three years to the guy and all it did was make his already bloodstained hands even darker.
He already knows that Ezra knows he is here, and that's what stressing him even more, 'Apollo is strong but I don't think he could handle that bastard.'
Levi thought that at most, Apollo could only handle 3,000 people from Ezra. He looked at the people in the restaurant, Kate, Abbie, Noah, and the three guys playing. He felt responsible for bringing trouble to Apollo.
Apollo's ears twitched, he smiled at the thought of his customers caring for him. In these few weeks of opening the restaurant, only they would buy his food. He stood up from his seat and walked 'Cooly' towards Levi, he took a box of canned beers from Atlas' store and took it out.
He placed it in Levi's table and sat down, "What's bugging you?"
Apollo didn't actually care about Ezra ruining his restaurant, he could destroy his so-called mafia group at a snap of his finger.
Levi is still lost in his thoughts and didn't hear Apollo, Apollo opened a can of beer and took a sip, he stayed quiet and slowly savoured the beer.
Levi looked up and saw Apollo with a box of beer on the table and a beer in his hand, "Oh, boss!"
To try and alleviate Apollo's boredom, he wants to take in Levi as his disciple, although there is Anne, she is still too young. He wants to take him as a disciple not only to Alleviate his boredom but to also test his teaching, Levi is basically a lab rat.
Li Feng's knowledge and memories helped a lot to widen his horizons, but he's still clueless about teaching, he has Li Feng's memories and knowledge but that didn't mean he would instantly learn all of the contents, there are still things he didn't understand so he would search Li Feng's memories from time to time.
"What about you try and fight back?" Apollo asked.
"W-what are you talking about?"
"Didn't that Ezra guy held your sister hostage?"
"H-h-how?!" At this point, Levi's brain turned blank.
Apollo leaned in closer, "The world isn't just what you think it is."
Levi stared at Apollo, terrified, 'He could even read my mind!'
Apollo chuckled, he crushed the beer in his hands to dust and left the box of beer in the table, he stood up and patted Levi's back, "Just tell me if you need my help.", Apollo then went back to his normal position and slept.
