Return From God Quest
29. News from Partners

The state of the restaurant is so strange tonight, initially like but suddenly turned violent due to a car accident, but not long later became tense caused by a shootout and murder.

But it does not stop there, the strangeness still continues.

A sedan came parked outside, out of the car came a woman who from her facial posture looked like a Japanese, then a man came out of the same car.

‘The person...’.

I recognized the man who had just arrived, he was the father of the girl who was rumored to have been kidnapped. Since I didn't see the police with them, I thought that they were willing to redeem their daughter peacefully.

‘About how much did they ask for?.’

In my mind I can't imagine how much money the kidnappers got from that dirty business.

‘It makes me envious.’

Seeing the arrival of two new guests, the kidnapped girl immediately ran over to her parents. The atmosphere felt strong when the mother and daughter were back together, as well as her father who could not hold back tears.

‘Hem, which bad guy could separate a daughter from her family?.’

My gaze was fixed on the kidnappers, they also looked happy.

‘That's for sure because they'll get a lot of money.’

Earning money in such a disgusting way, I won't let it. While it may be possible to lose some money it will not be a big deal for a rich man like him. But I still wouldn't be willing if the kidnappers got what they wanted.

‘I work hard but remain poor, but they are criminals who get rich just by doing the dirty work. No, I'm not gonna let this end. In every story, villains always end horribly.’

With the intelligence at my disposal, I began to draw up scenarios to thwart the kidnappers' nefarious plans. But my mind wanders everywhere.

If I could catch the kidnappers and turn them over to the police, what would I get?.

‘Maybe the ransom will be mine.’ I smile at the thought of earning a lot of money.

‘And it's possible that the girl ended up falling for me.’ my smile widened.

"Then we'll get married, have children and end up being owners of a big company...."

It was brilliant, I never thought my intelligence was so incredible like this. There may be someone who has thought like me this type.

"It's time for me to change my fate." I'm loud.

"How?."

"Call the cops!." It was a genius idea, the police could definitely arrest the four kidnappers.

"For what?."

"To catch you, and I became a hero... Ahahaha!."

My laughter was accompanied by the sound of applause, I did not know whose clap it was but I was obviously very proud of myself who was very smart.

"Genius, I'm afraid of the genius I have. But somehow I feel something weird."

When I returned to the real world of the abstract world full of beautiful things in my mind, I realized that everyone was looking at me in wonder.

Except for the iron helmeted woman with her mouth full of pizza, she was endlessly clapping at me.

"Great, great. Just this time I saw there was a genius." She said, "He must be a rare species very different from humans."

Shit, I accidentally leaked the kind of plan I made. This must be an illusion, true one of the kidnappers must have the ability to hypnotize.

‘Basic of cunning kidnappers.’ My mind is full of mockery.

Then how is this, what should I do, should I give up? No, it seems like they just thought what I said was a joke, it was evident because they did nothing.

The man who was the father of the kidnapped girl came to me to apologize for the damage to the restaurant, he promised to compensate.

Hearing that makes me even more angry. How can the entire cost of restaurant damage compensation be borne by the victim?.

The victim's father then ordered more food, they then sat down together for negotiations. The three kidnappers made their masks, they looked so happy, while the abductee leader was still wearing an iron helmet with the bottom half open to show a terrible smile.

‘This is my chance.’

As I was about to enter the kitchen, I quickly picked up the phone to call the police. Not long after the police came, making me very happy.

‘My life will change.’

Maybe this is the turning point in my life. And it did happen but with results I didn't think of.

The police did come, but there was not a single kidnapper they caught. That's very strange. Then things go like nothing happened, the victims' families take their daughters with them, while the kidnappers are still free to roam.

All that was left was me alone staring at the restaurant where I was working closed even though it was not time yet.

When the cold night pierced my skin, I realized that my genius plan had failed.

"Well, look at the rest of the good I can go home early and rest."

It's very regrettable, I wonder what my colleagues would think if our workplace had such an incident. Will he believe what I say?.

"Pffft, it doesn't seem to."

It's been almost two weeks since he got into trouble. I wonder what he's doing now.

"Shall I call?."

I repeatedly asked myself that question. But my intention soon vanished when I saw his contact number. I don't know why all of a sudden fear haunted me.

Drrrr!

My phone shook so much I almost got out of my hand. When I saw him there was apparently an incoming call, and at the caller there was someone I just wanted to call.

I subconsciously answered the call, as if my finger had a mind of its own.

\[Hey Panji. You picked it up, are you okay?. I almost ordered flowers with condolences that I would send to your house\]

As soon as the call was answered, my phone immediately let out a female voice that was so noisy and fast, as if a female rapper was talking.

"Sungkawa flower, huh."

His words clearly tell him that he knows what happened to our workplace.

"Ahahaha, what a pity that the god of death is not good enough for you to uproot my life. So that any calamity as big as it is today will not be enough to make me fear death."

I said so proudly. Normally I wouldn't be able to say that to anyone else, but it was different from the girl who had worked with me as a restaurant waitress for almost two years.

\[God of death? Ahahaha, it's been almost two weeks we haven't met. During that time I didn't know what movie you were watching until it lowered the perception of the power cap you had\]

He easily understood the direction of the conversation while chatting with me. Very different from other people who would definitely assume I was delusional.

On the way home I kept the phone with my ear in turn. We kept talking until I got to my rented room.

\[Okay bay Hero. Remember to stay in the path of the devil, because tomorrow you officially become an unemployed person, ahahaha..\]

"Free, the brainwashing magic you sent me over the phone won't be strong enough to make me sleepless."

The laughter from the phone grew louder.

My smile expanded as soon as the call finally ended. "I'm so grateful she's okay." Hearing the good news from someone who has not met for a long time makes me feel a little happiness.

"I'm definitely gonna sleep well tonight."
