After a warm shower, and a bit of rest, Gary heard a knock on his door.
As he opened the door, he saw a butler telling him that master Noble had ordered him to come down for dinner.
He had also said for Gary to put on some decent clothing that was supplied inside the closet.
Gary complied, and shut the door.
He went to the closet and found a sleek shirt that seemed to be his size, and a pair of black trousers.
After dressing up, he went outside and the butler led him to the dining area, which was on the rooftop.
He was led to the dining table, where there was Noble, 3 other men, and an empty seat which was left for him.
Gary gave Noble, and the 3 other men a respectful greeting.
Noble shook his head and gave a slight smile in return.
2 of the unknown men also shook their heads, but the last guy didn't make any reaction at all, instead, he turned away and started whispering something to the man on his left.
"So, you know how to style yourself huh Gary ?"
"Thank you, Noble sir. But it was just the great amount of clothing variety supplied in the closet."
The ignorant man then suddenly said in a loud voice:
"So that's how you address Master Noble ? You dumb weakling"
"Oh….my apologies..."
"Get out of this room ! You serve no use for us !"
"Well….umm…WAIT NO SORRY!"
"How dare you !"
The man then proceeds to throw a glass towards Gary.
Gary, being surprised, shielded his arms.
Gary, expecting to get injured, turned out to see the glass shattering into pieces, flying out towards the window
CRASH !
The glass pieces fell down the 250 floors or building
More loud crashes was heard.
Gary was stunned. He didn't expect something like that on his first meetup with some ATAW superiors !
He couldn't process whatever that just happened, the fact that he had broke the glass just by shielding himself, or the fact that he could have been the one knocked out of the window due to the force of the throw.
Surprisingly he seemed fine too.
Noble then proceeded to stand up. He then pointed straight to the man:
"If you don't stop, I'll be sure you end up in the backrooms tonight, Rowan..."
2 of the other guys suddenly stood up while pulling Rowan with him.
One of the oldest men started speaking: "Please allow my son to say his apologies sir. He acted rashly and it was wrong of him. It won't happen again."
Noble shot a death sight at all 3 men. However, Rowan wasn't showing any signs of worry.
"These 3 men are the vice president of ATAW headquarters. I brought them here tonight to see you."
He started pointing out their names. Their names are Aldric, Elias, and of course, the arrogant Rowan.
Aldric and Elias were apparently bodyguards of the young man, which was supposedly Rowan.
Rowan, being Noble's younger brother, and also the vice president of ATAW, thought he had all the right to be all mighty and arrogant. People thought he was mad because he didn't receive the heir to become the next king of Novaneo.
As part of whatever Noble had arranged for him, it also requested the signature born by Rowan.

It took a while for everything to calm down, but the atmosphere became cheery after the food came.
The food was prepared in three-course meals.
The complimentary dish was Dungeness crabcakes served in seperate small plates.
( Dungeness crabcakes offer a delightful blend of sweet, succulent crab meat with a delicate, savory flavor. The crabcakes typically feature tender chunks of Dungeness crab, which brings a rich, sweet taste that's both sweet and briny. They're often seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, such as parsley, Old Bay seasoning, and a hint of lemon, adding layers of flavor without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the crab. The exterior is usually crisp and golden brown, providing a satisfying contrast to the soft, juicy interior. Overall, the taste is a harmonious balance of sweetness, savoriness, and a bit of tang, with a pleasant, buttery finish. )
The entrée, or main dish, was A5 Wagyu Filet Mignon with Truffle-Infused Bordelaise Sauce and Sautéed Wild Mushrooms.
Let's dive deep into Gary's explanation on this dish
"A5 Wagyu steak is the epitome of luxury beef, known for its exquisite marbling and buttery texture. It boasts a rich, umami flavor with sweet undertones, melting effortlessly in your mouth. Its high-quality fat ensures a tender, silky experience with a deep, indulgent taste that is truly unparalleled.
This dish was expertly seared to a perfect medium-rare, preserving its extraordinary marbling and rich, buttery texture. This opulent cut is accompanied by a decadent truffle-infused Bordelaise sauce, made from the finest red wine, veal demi-glace, and fragrant black truffles, creating an intricate layer of depth and umami.
The dish was then complemented by sautéed wild mushrooms, including porcini, shiitake, and chanterelle, which were caramelized to enhance their earthy flavors. A delicate garnish of microgreens and a drizzle of truffle oil added a final touch of elegance.
The steak was served on a warmed, polished plate, allowing the luxurious flavors and aromas to shine, offering a truly memorable dining experience that highlights the sublime quality of A5 Wagyu."
( As we all can see here, Gary has great knowledge on food, and his goal was just to become the head chef in the restaurant he worked in )
And for the final desert was Lemon Lavender Crème Brûlée with Honeyed Pistachio Crumble
Here's a short description of the dish that was served
Indulged in a refined dessert of Lemon Lavender Crème Brûlée, featuring a silky custard infused with delicate notes of lemon zest and aromatic lavender. The creamy base was crowned with a perfectly caramelized sugar crust, offering a satisfying crack when tapped with a spoon.
Accompanied by a honeyed pistachio crumble, the dessert adds a delightful crunch and a hint of sweetness. The pistachios are lightly toasted and caramelized with honey, creating a luxurious texture contrast to the smooth crème brûlée.
A garnish of edible lavender petals and a drizzle of lavender honey complete this elegant presentation, elevating the dessert to a sublime finish with floral and nutty notes.
At the end of the day, Gary was full to the brim. He was very impressed with the dishes that the chefs managed to pull off.
….
After the waiters were called to clean up the table, the conversation started.
Noble looked straight at Gary:
"Since you don't seem to know what is happening at all, I guess we can start with the system here"
