Chapter 105


    “How could you let her die, Shadow?” Benjamin couldn’t believe it when Shadow told him about Ashley’s


    death. Moreover, her death was set up by Shawn of all people? His impression over Shawn had


    completely changed after this. Shadow didn’t give any excuses and said, “I’m sorry, Lord. Please punish


    me.” Benjamin could only grind his teeth. “What about her family?” “She had a few rtives, but none


    close.”


    Currently, they were both sitting in Rye’s Pizzas as customers. The female waiter looked at Shadow and


    said amusedly, “Your costume looks fun. Did you make it yourself?” Shadow, however, didn’t reply to her.


    “He did,” Benjamin said. He was acquainted with this waiter back when he worked here.


    “Oh, and that dagger at his waist… is that genuine?” “It is. Can you bring us some fries, please?”


    Benjamin asked, and she nodded her head and quickly left. “My lord, why do you want to join this ce


    again? I don’t get it,” Shadow asked. “If my wife wants to contact me, I have to be at a ce where she


    can contact me. I thought this would be the best ce.” “Why don’t you just give her a ring? Tell her what


    happened?” “I called her a thousand times,” Benjamin’s mouth turned down. “She isn’t responding.”


    At the same time, Christopher was talking to someone at his desk.


    “You want to join here as a seven star deliverer?” Christopher was somewhat surprised because nobody


    had ever asked to directly let them be a seven-star pizza deliverer.” What experience do you


    have?”


    The man standing before him seemed to be a little over thirty. With curly hair and hairy arms, he was


    neither tall nor strikingly handsome like Benjamin even though they were of simr height. Moreover, with


    his arms folded and his back slightly bent, he looked meek and submissive, making Christopher wonder


    if he came from some countryside. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” Christopher raised his voice.


    “Forget about being a seven star deliverer, can you at least take phone orders, make cash transactions,


    and have polite conversations with customers?”


    “I-I can learn these things quickly, sir,” the curly-haired man replied with innocence. Christopher leaked


    out an annoyed smile. “You have no idea what a seven-star deliverer means! They are extremely


    hardworking professionals with an exceptional customer service record and with the ability to prepare


    food if necessary. They can put their egos aside and fit anywhere in the chain, from being a cashier or a


    pizza maker to someone who rides at 80 miles an hour in the rain so they could reach the designated


    delivery area in time!”

    “I can learn all of that pretty fast, sir,” he responded. A vein in Christopher’s cheek swelled as he angrily


    smiled. “Did youe here from some distant fucking vige just to fuck with my mood so early in the


    day?”


    “I just came here to get a job, sir. Why are you getting so upset? Shouldn’t you be happy? I was told


    you’re always in need of drivers who can get it to customers’ doors. And I’m confident I can do that.”

    “Hmph, go and show your confidence somewhere else. Now, get out of my face.” “Kyaa!”


    The females in the kitchen section screamed and rushed out, yelling, ‘snake! There’s a snake in the


    kitchen!” “Snake?” Christopher frowned. “How the hell did a snake get in here?” He didn’t know what to


    do.


    “Manager! One of the girls got bitten!” a male worker yelled. “What?” Christopher was shocked. As he


    took his mobile out, another worker yelled. “Kyaa! There’s another snake!”


    Christopher’s expression greatly changed. “Not one but two? Everyone, first get outside.” He rushed


    outside, and all the customers and workers listened to him. Well, almost all of them except three.


    The curly-haired man rushed into the kitchen at the same time as Benjamin and Shadow did. The female


    waiter from before was sitting at a corner, cowering in fear. Her ankle was bitten. Benjamin nced at


    Shadow, and he went to take care of the woman first.


    Benjamin closed his eyes and focused his senses to spot the snake, which just climbed up the shelves.


    When he reached out for the snake, it sprang at him, but he swiftly caught it by the head and squeezed


    its mouth shut. At the same time, the curly-haired man caught the other snake. Both were full-grown


    cobras. He and Benjamin briefly looked at each other as they walked out of the kitchen and dropped the


    snakes in one bag and shut it tight with a stic


    rope.


    The others waiting outside didn’t even dare toe in and see what was happening. Christopher was


    calling for an ambnce.


    Shadow picked up the poisoned woman onto his shoulders. “I’ll take her to the nearest hospital,” he told


    Benjamin who nodded.


    “There’s no need for that,” the curly-haired man said, puzzling them. “I can take care of it.” “Are you


    sure?” Benjamin asked. “Trust me,” he said.


    Shadow was doubtful, but after Benjamin gave approval, he put the woman down on the table. She was


    sweating and cringing from the severe pain around the spot of the bite. The curly-haired man bent and


    bit at the puncture marks. Seconds passed.


    “He’s sucking the venom out?” Shadow raised his brows. “He watched too many movies. That’s not


    gonna work.” “It is working,” Benjamin remarked, startling Shadow. Shadow then focused his gaze and


    saw the redness around the puncture marks faded out at a steady pace. (This… How’s he doing it? Is he


    extracting both the blood and the venom around that spot? Even my stomach would be upset if I were to


    consume the venom. Who is this guy?) A couple of minutester. The woman’splexion changed by


    the time the extracting was done. “She’s safe now,” the curly-haired man exhaled audibly through his


    nose and then wiped his mouth. “You consumed the veno? and blood,” Shadow said. “Aren’t you afraid


    of getting poisoned?” “My body is used to taking that much venom, so it’s not a problem.” “I’m Benjamin,”


    Benjamin introduced himself. “Thanks for helping her.” “I just did what I could. No need to thank me,” he


    said. “And I’m Damian. I came here to apply for a job.” “Oh, then I can help you.”


    Damian was pleasantly surprised. “You work here?” “I used to, but now I’m thinking of working here


    again. The manager is making things a bit difficult for me, but he doesn’t have the final say when it


    comes to seven star deliverers. The chairman does, so I’m waiting for his reply.” “Okay, but how can you


    help me, though, when you haven’t even got the job yet?” “When I get the job, I will be able to


    rmend you. Seven-star deliverers can rmend seven people per year, and their


    rmendations are given the highest priority, so you’ll most likely get the job if I rmend you.”


    “That means you used to be a seven-star deliverer?” Damian’s eyes lit up. “You must be able to drive


    bikes pretty fast.”


    “I can, but once you get the job, don’t take it easy and work hard,” Benjamin said. “Otherwise, I’ll be


    scolded first if you don’t perform.”


    “Don’t you worry about that,” Damian raised his hand up to the chest level, “because I’ll be the best


    pizza deliverer in thispany.”


    “Haha, I like your confidence,” Benjamin lifted his hand and firmly held Damian’s hand in a strong,


    friendly sp, “but I’ll be the one who’ll sit at the top.” Seeing his lordpete with another worker,


    Shadow faintly smiled. After all, it had been a while since he had seen thatpetitive spirit from


    Benjamin.
