Chapter 60: Ala Karte

"Espresso less sugar, not too hot, and not too cold either." Answer Dian.

Dian was confused as to why the old man in front of her asked about his favorite coffee, but because there was no other choice but to answer it. Dian decided to tell him.

"Espresso? Hmm, honest choice of young man. Usually when new people first come here, they will pretend to order black coffee to look like adults. But they can't drink it at all." Obviously Uncle Joy.

Actually, Dian doesn't really like coffee. He preferred tea, but since it was a cafe, it was only natural that he ordered coffee.

"Ah, I'm still not used to drinking black coffee. But since the Espresso taste wasn't too bitter, I decided to order it." Reply Dian.

After hearing Dian's answer, Uncle Joy took one of the coffee beans from various containers that he had, then put it into the bean grinding machine.

The coffee bean powder came out from there, the smell of the aroma of ground coffee grounds spread. After crushing it, Uncle Joy processed it for 3 minutes, before pouring hot water into it.

He did not put a lot of sugar into it as Dian requested, but he added a little milk and hot chocolate that had been melted into it.

"Here you go, your espresso." Uncle Joy put a glass of espresso in front of Dian.

The smell of espresso is very fragrant and delicious. When Dian took the glass it was using the finger of his right hand. He did not feel the burning heat that he usually always felt when holding a coffee glass, it turns out when viewed. That's because the glass used there is an anti-heat glass.

After smelling the scent several times by bringing the glass closer to the front of his nose. Dian directly sipped one time into his mouth. He immediately felt the sensation of hot chocolate Espresso wrapped with milk that makes it a little thick.

"It's amazing, it's so delicious." Praise Dian before sipping again into her mouth.

"Thank you sir." Reply Uncle Joy.

Uncle Joy cleaned his tools at the porch waiting for Dian to finish his coffee. And after a few minutes of silence at the cafe, Beatrice began to open the topic.

"Ehem, so uncle.anu, about the topic of his network..." Beatrice tries to open up the topic.

Uncle Joy rolled his eyes slightly toward Beatrice, but he immediately closed them again a moment later.

"Let this man enjoy his coffee first. When we're done, we'll just start." Obviously Uncle Joy.

"O-okay." Beatrice replied awkwardly.

10 Minutes of silence was held at the cafe. Surprisingly, Dian did not feel any awkward or nervous feelings. He felt comfortable and liked the atmosphere.

And when 15 minutes had passed, Dian had finished drinking his coffee.

"Thank you for the coffee, I love it." Said Dian, before putting the empty coffee glass.

"Sama-sama, so. We're just starting, aren't we?" Uncle Joy asked, before taking her empty glass from Dian and washing it off.

Uncle Joy had already given the code to begin with, so Dian answered it. "Yes, let's just get started." Answer Dian.

When Dian answered him, the calm atmosphere of the cafe slowly disappeared. Uncle Joy's face that had been relaxed, suddenly turned serious. He opened his eyes and looked at Dian. The atmosphere in the cafe changed instantly to tense.

"Young man, you want to create a mafia network don't you? If so, do you already know what things you need?" Ask Uncle Joy.

Dian shakes. "No, I don't understand at all. Honestly, I'm new to this." Answer Dian.

"Guns, men, territory, connections. That's what you need to network. And if you need to, you have to sell drugs or some kind of drug to spread your name." Obviously Uncle Joy.

Drugs, it is illegal if in the upper world. But Dian knew that in the underworld, it was already considered as a matter of course.

"Oh, I understand. But as much as possible, I don't want to dirty my hands if I can." Answer Dian.

Heard Dian's reply. Uncle Joy scrunched her eyes. "Not dirtying your hands? So naive. Precisely the thing you need to do first is to dirty your own hands, son." Obviously Uncle Joy.

"Firing weapons." Uncle Joy answered quickly.

Hearing Uncle Joy's reply, Dian gasped a little. He did not expect that he would have to hold a gun that fast. "Firing weapons? Hmm but I'm honest.."

Without listening to Dian's reply, Uncle Joy immediately put a gun in front of Dian's desk. It made the young man and the woman next to him, Beatrice and Dian. Surprised by Uncle Joy's sudden actions.

"Hold my son, the first thing you need to conquer the underworld is to hold a weapon." Said Uncle Joy.

Dian looked at the gun below him, then he pensively thought for a moment.

Indeed, Dian's thinking was quite naive. He thought he could rule the underworld without dirtying his hands, of course it could not. Instead Dian must get used to things that smell illegal there.

The first thing Dian had to do was dirty her own hands. That's what Uncle Joy said, looking at the gun underneath. Dian slowly began to change her way of thinking.

"Take it." Said Uncle Joy.

"P-uncle.." Beatrice feels bad for Dian.

After looking for a while at the gun underneath, Dian decided to take it.

Seeing Dian take the gun, Uncle Joy continued asking Dian. "Do you know how to use a gun?" Ask Uncle Joy.

Honestly, Dian doesn't know how to use a weapon. But with the help of his system, he could instantly learn it quickly.

Dian knew that to activate the gun, all she had to do was pull the handle. Dian held the handle over the gun, and pulled it back.

Knowledge of the use of the gun was flowing rapidly in Dian's head, he immediately knew about all parts of the gun in detail and its usefulness.

"No, just now. I know how to use it." Obviously Dian.

"just new? What do you mean?" Uncle Joy was confused as to what Dian meant.

To explain and prove to Uncle Joy in front of him, Dian also took off all parts of the gun under him one by one quickly.

He then sorted the gun from right to left on his desk. After sorting it, Dian immediately reassembled the gun quickly and precisely.

Seeing Dian quickly assemble the gun, Beatrice widens her eyes, while Uncle Joy puts on an amazed face "Hoooh..."

In just 30 seconds, Dian had finished his gun assembly perfectly.

"Lt's amazing...I didn't think you could assemble a gun, son." Uncle Joy clapped her little hands at Dian.

"Why can't you never hold a gun before?" Beatrice asked astonished.

After finishing assembling, Dian pointed the gun at one of the glass cups on Uncle Joy's back shelf. He looked at Uncle Joy in front of him.

"Can?" Ask Dian.

Hearing Dian's question, Uncle Joy immediately understood and smiled. He answered Dian's question. "Of course, I don't mind losing one glass." Obviously Uncle Joy.

Once allowed, Dian immediately pulled the trigger.

*dor!
