"Aurora... The beginning of a phenomenon. This is the beginning of your new life." Apollo said as he stroked Aurora's fur.
*Ding*
Apollo looked at the notification from Atlas,
[Aurora: The Guardian Beast.]
[A wolf of unknown origins, taken in by the Supreme Being, he is now the Guardian Beast of Mount Moon.]
Looking at the notification, Apollo couldn't help but feel... weird. Him being regarded as 'Master' by Atlas is good enough, why did he take it as far as to call him the 'Supreme Being'?
He disregarded the matter all together and bought a few liters of the special water and meat in the immortal realm from Atlas, then feeding it to Aurora. Having broken through nine sub stages in a row, Aurora quickly got into a bottleneck in his cultivation.
Apollo did the same for his farm animals, though, what they eat and drink is far inferior to what he fed Aurora, before leaving the mountain, he instructed Aurora to babysit all the farm animals before letting them free from their cages.
...
The next morning, he saw a new face, usually Kate would only bring Noah with her, sometimes Abbie would come too, but he heard that Abbie has been busy these past few days.
A blonde guy wearing fancy clothes walked together with Kate in Noah in the restaurant, the blonde guy would fidget his fingers, his eyes scanning the restaurant seemingly finding someone.
With a yawn, Kate said good morning to Apollo, same with Noah, not long after they came in, Levi and Elizabeth arrived at the restaurant, Elizabeth wearing a red dress, her skin so flawless that even celebrities would envy if they saw her, "Good morning boss!" the two said in unison.
Kate looked at Elizabeth in envy, although she doesn't know who the beautiful girl who is with Levi, she couldn't help but feel jealous of her looks. She quickly got over it, comparing the two is an insult to Elizabeth's beauty, "The usual."
"Same with me." Noah said, booting up his laptop in the process.
Meanwhile, Lucas who came with them immediately hid his face when he saw Levi walk in. His body is already acheing when he fought with Ashton, the last thing he needs right now is training with Levi.
"Lucas?"
Levi's cold and indifferent voice resounded in the restaurant, knowing that his cover is blown, Lucas weakly faced Levi's direction, "Ma-master...?"
"Come here! We haven't seen each other for a while." Levi said enthuciastically.
With a change of tone, Levi said with his cold voice, "Have you been training diligently?"
Lucas walked weakly towards Levi's table, his proud and brave persona, broken in an instant, he sat next to Levi, "W-what a surprise to see you here, Master." Lucas said with an awkward smile on his face.
A smile crept on to Levi's face, he could now feel superior now that Lucas is here. Lately, he has been losing face in front of his sister due to Apollo, now, he could regain his 'Cool Big Brother' persona he built up with his sister throughout the years.
Loud bangs echoes throughout the restaurant, it's obvious that Levi is venting his anger on Lucas. Lucas almost spat blood when Levi slammed his hand on Lucas' back. 'Why are you doing this to me, master? Huhu'
"Brother... I think you're hurting him..."
Levi looked at Liz, "Nah," he slammed Levi's back again to prove his point while laughing.
Kate looked at the two, her eyes filled with disbelief, never had she thought that Lucas who acted so cool everytime would act obediently even when he is getting slammed in the back by Levi.
Not only are the words spoke of by Levi true, it's even beyond her expectations.
Other regulars looked at Lucas with pity. Meanwhile, Lucas glared at them, 'I don't need your pity! I need you guys to help me get out of this situation!'
After slamming Lucas in the back a few more times, he calmed down, "What are you been up to these days?"
'It's my time to act cool!' Regaining his composure, "Nothing much, just doubled my training." he replied nonchalantly as if it was nothing.
"Really? Why don't we triple your training so that you could improve even faster."
Lucas immediately froze, he shook his head profusely, "I-I think this is enough for me..."
...
Looking at those two messing around, Apollo couldn't help but shake his head.
When he woke up earlier, he did a few modifications to the restaurant, although it isn't visible to them, it's a formidable defence.
Apollo placed a few defensive formations around the restaurant, whenever ill intent is detected, it would immediately zap the person be it intentional or not.
He also sound proofed the entire restaurant, even though it is an open restaurant, customers tend to eat inside so it is needed.
The lay out of the restaurant changed drastically, the chair and tables outside were removed because customers didn't use them, it is basically just a restaurant now.
The wooden counter on the inner left side, the tables and chairs in front of it and a thick plywood above to bring shade to the customers.
