Building A Business Empire From Scratch In Another World

"Big bro, all five restaurants are ready! The chefs and staff are fully familiar with the operations," Nixie reported, glancing at Felix.

Felix sat calmly behind his desk, nodding in acknowledgment. Inside his study room, he was joined by Nixie and Gwendolyn as they discussed their plans.

"So, big bro, when do you think is the right time to open?" Nixie inquired.

Felix shook his head slightly. "That's up to you two; you can decide when to open."

Nixie and Gwendolyn exchanged surprised looks.

"What about three days from now?" Gwendolyn suggested, turning her gaze toward Nixie.

"Okay! Three days it is!" Nixie exclaimed. "We'll simultaneously open all five branches in Wulleamp District!"

"Great! Now that you've decided on a date, go ahead with your preparations," Felix said casually.

He paused for a moment before asking, "How's the procurement of those ingredients I asked about?"

"We managed to get some of them," Gwendolyn replied with a frown. "But others are rare and hard to find. You know our connections in the Royal Capital are almost nonexistent."

"Hmmm..." Felix frowned deeply as he sank into thought.

After a moment, he looked at them and said, "Just keep procuring what you can find. For the ones you can't get, give me a list, I'll handle it."

"Okay," both girls nodded in agreement.

Nixie hesitated before speaking again. "Big bro, I think it's important for you to talk to Chef Gideon."

"Why? Has something happened with him?" Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Not exactly," Nixie explained. "He's just been acting strangely lately. Since he's going to be the chef for the 2-Star Restaurant Building, we're worried that his current state might affect our business."

"I see." Felix rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Don't worry; I'll have a word with him."

Relieved smiles spread across Nixie and Gwendolyn's faces as they felt reassured about their upcoming opening in three days without any disturbances.

"You two can go now and start preparing," Felix said as he waved them off.

As they left the study room, Felix leaned back in his chair, narrowing his eyes as concern crept into his thoughts regarding Chef Gideon's situation.

Chef Gideon enemies were in the Royal Capital, but for now Felix is sure that they can't meet.

Because fortunately for them,Chef Gideon's foes were in living in the one of the biggest and powerful district far away from Wulleamp District; still, caution was key, nothing was ever absolute in this world.

Who knows by any freak of nature they would crossed path and if that happens then Felix and the others will really be in Dee shit.

So he have to make sure that Chef Gideon stays in check.

But now Nixie is telling him that Chef Gideon is acting all weird and strange lately and the only thing that can make Chef Gideon act this weird and strange is his enemies in the Capital.

He have to make sure that this guy doesn't do anything stupid that will put all of them in grave danger.

Thinking up to here Felix narrowed his eyes as cold glint flashed through.

He stood up from his chair and walked out of the study room with calm resolve.

At the inner area of the Morningstar Family Estate lies a picturesque enclave, where stunning villas dot the landscape like jewels in a crown.

Each mansion, though uniquely positioned, harmonizes beautifully with its surroundings, creating an atmosphere of serene elegance.

Fountains dance playfully in the breeze, delicate statues stand as silent sentinels, and small ponds glisten with ornamental fish that add splashes of color to this idyllic setting.

At the heart of this tranquil oasis stands a cluster of grand mansions, each one more impressive than the last.

Currently Felix walking along the beautifully paved stone path toward one such residence: Chef Gideon's home.

As he approaches the front gate, he pushes it open and steps inside.

In a quaint pavilion beside a serene pond within the mansion's grounds, Chef Gideon enjoys a moment of solitude, lost in thought as he gazes out at the peaceful scenery.

"Looks like you're enjoying yourself!" A voice breaks through his reverie.

Startled, Chef Gideon quickly turns to see Felix standing behind him.

Relief washes over his face as he recognizes his visitor.

He bows slightly and greets him warmly: "Family Head."

Felix waves dismissively with a smile. "Enough with the formalities!"

Gideon chuckles sheepishly and gestures for Felix to sit down. "Please have a seat, Family Head."

As Felix settles across from him, curiosity sparkles in Gideon's eyes. "What brings you here today?"

With a gentle smile, Felix replies, "I just wanted to check in on you since we arrived at the Capital. Hope all is well?"

Gideon returns the smile but adds with a hint of boredom in his tone, "I've been alright... though I must admit there's not much for me to do since we got here, the restaurants haven't opened yet so I'm pretty bored these days."

Felix laughs lightly. "Well, get ready for some excitement! Nixie and Gwendolyn have decided to open the restaurants three days from now!"

Gideon's eyes widen in surprise. "Oh really? That's great news!"

Felix nodded with a slight smile. "So you'll be busy again before you know it!"

"That's great!" Chef Gideon beams back at him.

Felix smiled and nodded, his gaze drifting outside the pavilion.

The small pond shimmered in the sunlight, its surface alive with colorful fish dancing gracefully beneath the water's surface.

He took a deep breath and said softly, "You know, there's a time for everything. Patience can yield results you never expected, if you maintain a calm state of mind."

Chef Gideon blinked, momentarily taken aback by this shift in conversation.

He studied Felix for a moment before turning his attention to the pond, his expression clouded with contemplation.

"But sometimes," Chef Gideon replied slowly, "patience doesn't bring the results you hope for."

Felix shook his head gently. "True, but rushing can endanger those around you. Being hasty may seem like strength, but if you're not truly strong, that rush could lead to your downfall. For those who feel weak, patience is often the only key to unlocking what they desire."

Gideon's brow furrowed as he absorbed Felix's words.

Felix met his gaze and shook his head again before rising from his seat and strolling out of the pavilion. "You've waited over twenty years; a little more time won't hurt. Remember, your decisions can put many people at risk, and I won't forgive you if that happens."

With that final thought hanging in the air, Felix stepped outside and left Chef Gideon alone in deep reflection.

As Felix exited the grand gates of the Morningstar Family Estate, he paused to take in the mansion one last time before disappearing from view.

A few minutes later Felix appeared infront of the grand gate if the estate.

Standing at the entrance, he pondered aloud, "I really need to arrange for some guards here."

Just then, a magnificent white carriage pulled up beside him.

The coachman dismounted with a respectful bow and greeted him warmly: "Family Head."

Felix returned the gesture with a smile and nod.

The coachman opened the elegant doors of the carriage as Felix swiftly entered.

With another respectful nod to his master, he climbed back into position and cracked his whip, the carriage surged forward along the well-paved road, leaving behind the estate in no time.

------------------------------

As the carriage rolled away from the estate, it rumbled along the expansive roads of Wulleamp District.

On either side, pedestrians bustled about, each person caught up in their daily routines, some rushing to work, others leisurely enjoying their strolls.

Carriages of all shapes and sizes clattered by: some lavishly adorned and pulled by magnificent Magical Beasts, while others were more modest, drawn by ordinary horses.

Felix gazed out the window, his heart racing with curiosity. Since arriving at the Royal Capital, he hadn't ventured far into the city; he hadn't even left Wulleamp District!

His days had been consumed with ensuring everything was perfectly in place at the newly built estate.

The carriage sped through the lively streets of Wulleamp District, weaving through winding roads that made Felix feel almost dizzy as he watched the world blur past him.

After three long hours of navigating this bustling area, thanks to a Tier 3 Magical Beast pulling them along, they finally crossed out of Wulleamp.

Yes that's right they have completely left Wulleamp District and it took them three full hours and this is when the carriage is being pulled by a Tier 3 Magical Beast.

If it was just an ordinary horse then he didn't know how long it would take for them to leave Wulleamp District.

Once they exited Wulleamp District, they entered another district that was not much difference from Wulleamp District ,both districts have the same status.

Without pausing for breath, the carriage continued its journey through dense streets filled with life and energy.

Five hours later, and after passing through nearly twenty other districts.

Felix's eyes widened as they entered the new district. .

"Wow! These people really know how to enjoy themselves!" he exclaimed in awe.
