2024-10-29 19:42:56They went to the cotton road using Jaden's car. Jaden himself had already gotten his driver's license, because he was 18 years old, had a car, and a garage too. All three were required for a driver's license.
Because Batavia is a crowded city, the government decided to reduce the number of vehicles so that there would be less traffic, with the additional requirement of having a garage for car or motorcycle drivers.
Because residents often complained about car or motorcycle owners who parked their vehicles in front of their houses carelessly even though it was a public street. Especially in housing complexes that do not have land to park cars. Even though there is already a daycare center for cars that costs a small fee.
Aslan didn't really understand, but rich people like Jaden had no barrier to owning a private vehicle.
It took them an hour to reach the cotton road, because besides the traffic jam, the place was quite far from the dormitory. But if using a bicycle, it wouldn't take that long, maybe only 30 minutes.
Jaden parked his car in a trusted car park, after which they walked to the street food place.
At this time of night it was very crowded, especially since Batavia residents love to snack. In fact, many tourists from other countries go to Batavia to enjoy the tropical scenery and diverse specialties. So it is not strange to see various races in that place. Starting from white skin, black skin, yellowish skin, brownish skin, all blend into one.
Batavia residents themselves are mostly white or exotic tan skin, the local population is famous for its natural tropical beauty. Locals are also famous for being friendly to anyone, including foreigners.
Even so, there are still people everywhere who like to look down on others. Tourists from other countries won't think that there are cases of bullying in Batavia, because all they know is that the people are very friendly.
Jaden and David were the most excited to hunt for food, they bought jumbo takoyaki, jumbo chicken satay, Boba milk tea, and more. While Devon and Aslan just followed them, both of them only bought lemon iced tea.
"Have you guys finished your snacks? I want to see my shop," Aslan said.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" David asked after he finished chewing and swallowing his saten.
"You guys are immediately engrossed in your snacks, how can I interrupt you?" Aslan said.
"Alright, let's go to the shop - wait, what shop? Who does it belong to?" Asked Devon confused.
"It was Aslan's - hmm? You own a shop?"
Aslan scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, "It's actually a secret, you guys promise not to reveal this, right?"
Devon, David and Jaden nodded quickly, they were already curious about Aslan's story about shop.
"So, I'm an orphan, right? The previous owner of the orphanage was very kind and not greedy, the point is I actually still have my parents' inheritance, I even have the documents of the shop, here it is! In my name right? I even have a surname!"
Aslan showed them his shop letter, it said that the owner of the shop was Aslan Kendrik.
"So your surname is Kendrik?" Jaden asked.
"That's a bit strange" David muttered.
Aslan swallowed, he was nervous, hopefully they would believe his lie. There was no way Aslan could be honest if he got the shop from the system, they might be thinking he is crazy.
"This document is genuine, we can trust it, maybe Aslan and the old owner kept it a secret because they knew the new owner would snatch it if he found out. Besides, even though adulthood is only counted after the age of 20, 18 years old can be expelled from the orphanage, it's legal." Devon was right, it was time for Aslan to leave because he was 18 years old. Although Aslan wanted to stay because he felt sorry for the other siblings at the orphanage, Aslan couldn't sue the orphanage for not taking him in.
"Yes, you're right, it's time for Aslan to be independent. Let's go to the house!" David said.
Aslan opened the shop with the key he had brought. The shophouse didn't look like an old shophouse, it wasn't dusty, clean, neat, and some of the furniture was covered with a clean white cloth.
"It's like it was left there yesterday, how come it's not dusty" Jaden commented.
"I'm surprised too" muttered Aslan.
"I often pass this way, I also remember this shop was always closed, there was never an owner, there was no writing for sale or rent either" said David.
Everything was still good, even the electricity could be turned on, the lights were in good condition too. When they went upstairs where they could live, the place was also good. There was a big bed, a good wardrobe, a balcony, a bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. Everything was good.
"I think this place is worth about ten million dollars," Jaden said.
"I think so too, because it's in a great location - you could stay here." Devon asked.
"I live in the dormitory because it's near the school, but if i live here, it's far from the school, right? Also, I'm planning to open a business here, I'm still thinking about how -"
"Hire me! Let's build a business together!" Devon interrupted Aslan's speech, making Aslan stare in disbelief.
"But why, don't you want to go to college after graduating?" Aslan asked.
Devon nodded, "Right, we can go to college while working, My father wants me to be a soldier like him, but I think I want to go to college first, and then think about what to do. Since my dad wants me to enlist in the army right away, he doesn't want to support me, so I need to find a job. You know how hard it is to find a job in this city."
Devon was right, finding a job was very difficult, unless you wanted to create your own business.
"Alright, let's build a business together Devon!" Aslan said, happy that he had a friend.
"I want to too! I'm very good at business, I'll teach you how to create online stores, websites and more," said David.
"I'll see you guys first, but I'll help," said Jaden.
"Thank you all."
They left the shop, and went back to walk around. There were many shops selling various fashion items such as hats, shoes, shirts, jackets and others.
Aslan realized that his clothes looked more haphazard than the others, like there was a real gap between them.
[Master gets a new mission!]
[Spend 300 dollars to buy clothes and other accessories, be more handsome!]
[Reward: the money spent will be doubled]
[Punishment: none]
"I think I should buy myself some nice clothes, I look like a hobo" muttered Aslan, which of course was overheard by the others.
"You're right, buy this!" David gave Aslan a peach-colored hoody.
After that David, Jaden and Devon picked out clothes that they thought Aslan would like to wear, until the pile of clothes made Aslan's hands cramp.
"Okay, that's enough! I'll just buy this, no need to add more, my hands aren't enough!" complained Aslan.
"You still have to buy shoes," David said.
"How about a hat?" Jaden asked.
Aslan gave up and let them choose whatever they wanted. They thought Aslan would just pick a few pieces that he thought fit, little did they know he would buy everything.
The beautiful tan-skinned cashier looked at Aslan dimly, "can you afford all this?" The cashier asked as she inspected Aslan's appearance from head to toe.
Aslan agreed that he looked dirty, but he thought it was too much if the beautiful cashier looked at him lightly, Aslan was still a customer.

"Aslan, I thought you were going to pick out a few pieces of clothing, pick the ones you like, not buy them all," Devon whispered, he was worried too, because he himself was carrying a small amount of money. The cashier, who knew Aslan's friends looked worried, grinned even more. "Better think first before you are embarrassed because you can't pay, I often meet people like you, the style alone pretends to be able to buy a store, but it turns out there are only one hundred dollars in his pocket, it's embarrassing," said the beautiful cashier. Aslan sighed tiredly, "I told you I'd buy everything, you don't have to worry." Aslan took out his debit card, but the cashier laughed at him even more, because Aslan's debit card belonged to a minor, there was a cute lion picture too. Aslan didn't have time to change the card. "You haven't upgraded your card yet, man?" Jaden whispered. Aslan shook his head slowly, "I had no time." "Hey, if you're just a student like this, there can't be much

"Hey kid!" The familiar voice sent a chill down Aslan's spine, and sure enough, the new owner of the orphanage was waiting for him. Aslan hadn't thought anything of it before when a teacher said someone was looking for him, waiting in the lobby. Aslan's school had a kind of lobby to receive guests. At first, Aslan thought it was just the Messenger of the governor, who usually came to give books. The Messenger of the governor was very active in providing new quality books every month, which Aslan was very happy about, because he loved reading books. But seeing the harsh reality he received made him break out in a cold sweat. Why did that person come to the school at all? There was even a principal there. What was going on? "Have a seat, Aslan!"

Aslan was wrong, Debby became more moody at the bookstore. The girl even bumped into someone because she wasn't focused. "I'm sorry," Debby said. "You use your eyes when you walk!

Even though no one was injured from the incident, no items fell either, just a small nudge. "I apologize," Debby said again, like she was going to cry. So, Aslan left the book he wanted to look at, then approached Debby. "She apologized, why are you still angry?" Asked Aslan, he pulled Debby behind his body. "Are you her boyfriend? Tell your girlfriend not to stand carelessly, her body is big like a bulldozer, ignorance has its limits!" Said the friend of the woman who was hit by Debby. Both women looked like college students, they looked fashionable and wore the cheapest branded goods. The one Debby hit was a blonde, while her friend was a brunette. T

"Is that security guard really going to get fired?" That was the question Aslan asked as soon as he arrived at the Harland family mansion.The house was one of the most luxurious among the others. The view of the beach from the top floor was also very beautiful. White sand, coconut trees, beach waves, and the evening sky.Aslan was invited to sit in a room on the second floor, you could say it was a place close to the balcony, and the balcony itself was open. From where he sat, Aslan could see the beach. There were many sofas and chairs there, and a big screen television like a movie theater.

Aslan and Debby were more awkward than ever, that's because Debby's mom, Hannah, came over and asked why the two teenagers' faces were red.Aslan was at a loss for an answer, luckily the courier who had brought the apples for Debby had arrived. So Aslan and Hannah went down to check on the apples, while Debby showered and got ready."Are all these apples for Debby?" Hannah asked."Yeah, let Debby eat these apples at breakfast or when she wants a snack. They'll help her get fuller, they're also more nutritious than other fruits. You can also try it if you're curious."Hannah was intrigued by the apple, as its color was rather unique. It was pink with a reddish tinge, it was also bigger than a normal apple, and it gave off a tantalizing aroma."I'll try one.""Go ahead."Hannah took one apple and put the other away. After washing it, she cut the apple and ate it. Aslan watched, afraid that Hannah wouldn't like it, because according to Aslan, who had tried it first, it was sweeter and ju

Sam found it strange that Aslan was suddenly silent while staring at his body, after realizing what Aslan was looking at, he asked."Do you feel sorry for me after seeing my body covered in scars like this? I don't like being pitied." Sam asked.Aslan shook his head, then he handed Sam something. It was a silver bathbomb, which was not much different from the gold one, except that if the gold bathbomb could brighten dull skin, the silver bathbomb could remove scars or even out skin tone. The silver one was slightly cheaper than the gold one, costing 400 silver coins."What is this? Soap?" Sam asked confused."You're so pretty, you're an idol, and I guess you don't like all those scars yourself, do you? So take a shower and then soak in that bathbomb. It's free." Aslan said.Sam was still staring at it with a confused look on his face."What do my wounds have to do with this bathbomb?" Sam asked, he really didn't understand what Aslan meant, but he had a point.

Sam let go of Rama and walked over to Aslan, checking him from top to bottom and there was nothing wrong with him."That's because you ate a lot of seafood, you didn't say anything about preparing the album, I'm fine." Aslan said, then he invited the others to enter."Are you two the only ones here?" Aslan asked, once they were inside the house.Rama and Ben couldn't stop marveling at the ho

Lucas snatched the complimentary glass of lemon water provided at their table after taking two bites of the black lava burger.Aslan glanced at Lucas and chuckled, pleased with Lucas' spicy reaction."I thought with that face you were supposed to be resistant to anything spicy," Aslan said.Lucas gave Aslan an annoyed look as he managed to gulp down the entire glass, "since when do faces and spice resistance have anything to do with each other?"Aslan squared his shoulders, "well, usually there is a connection, like Marlo for example, how does a face like that fit if he can't stand spicy?"Lucas chuckled, "So you think my face is Marlo's type?"Aslan laughed with satisfaction at Lucas' annoyance."Turns out I'm just as scary as Marlo, huh?"
