.Max heads to the Stars Hotel and decides to change his clothes.
.Max goes up and feels some pain in his body and takes off his clothes and enters the bathroom to shower.
"[That transcendent blood does not resemble material blood at all, it is not blood at all, it is something extremely strange that comes out of the entity when its energy paths are cut, and it has an extremely strong smell and heat]"
.And while cold water falls over his body he feels pain and whispers saying:
"That unstable red aura harmed my entity, it is good that the situation was ended quickly before anyone was put in danger"
"[I feel a strange, confusing, and mysterious tightness in the chest]"
.Max sighs and dries himself, then takes other clothes from the wardrobe saying:
"I spent 4000 coins out of the 20000 that I had on this coat and the other clothes, while the rest I spent renting this room for a full year"
"[Well then I will put those 3000 coins here on the desk and go down and exchange the rest of the gold coins for cash and buy some food, then head to the Stars Organization again]"
.Max wears an extremely long black coat that stretches majestically down to the ankles, and its cut is distinguished by precise engineering that strongly defines the shoulders, and the wide, pointed collar of the coat falls in sharp angles that add a touch of boldness and dignity, while the coat intelligently widens downward in cohesive structural waves that suggest fluidity.
.And under this outer layer appear the details of a complete classic black suit, where the vest wraps around the body tightly and elegantly, and a pure white shirt breaks the dominance of black with a sharp and perfect visual contrast at the collar, and a dark tie woven with very small intricate patterns adds depth.
.And in the lower part, classic black trousers with a straight and perfect cut, falling with excessive smoothness without wrinkles to settle above black leather shoes that gleam with a faint shine.
.Then Max puts on perfume and wears his special watch and the earpiece and takes the hand bag and leaves the hotel toward the street while the smoking pipe is in his mouth.
.Max sells the gold coins for cash, then enters a fancy coffee shop and heads toward the female employee and takes the pipe out of his mouth and says:
"I want a cup of coffee and a croissant please"
.The employee is amazed by Max's extremely handsome masculine features and by his elegance, with the earpiece on his head and the watch on his hand.
.Max interrupts the girl's imagination and thinking and says:
"Well then I will sit at that table, hoping it does not take long"
.The girl smiles admiringly at Max and orders the request to be prepared.
.Max sits and uses his free time and closes his eye and notices that the second petal of the lotus flower is about to fall.
"[This is very good, so far I do not know the method of advancement within that strange path I am in now, that path is of my own making, but I think advancement comes with the falling of the leaves for a certain number]"
.Max thinks well about a plan to try to escape from that organization and says to himself:
"[I must escape, I do not want to be bound by anyone, I am not afraid of the one watching me, but I feel his effect on my existence, but that did not stop me, I can evolve, and the more I adapt, the more I will understand and reach a solution to the theory of everything, that theory is impossible to solve by ordinary means. If I obtain one piece, there are endless pieces, and I will always remain zero compared to infinity. There must be another way, a way in which the logically possible probabilities themselves split from a single leaf, where a single leaf must produce endless possibilities and endless possible worlds, and after that I will be the absolute, but how]"
.The employee cuts off Max's thinking and places the coffee and croissant in front of him, then says:
"Sir, if you need anything you can ask me with pleasure"
.Max smiles then says:
"Do you work here alone?"
.The girl smiles and says:
"Yes, this is my shop and I am the only one who works here"
.Max speaks and says:
"Why don't you hire employees to help you, this shop is classy and very beautiful"
.The girl is happy from Max's words and says:
"I actually tried, but the problem is that their price is extremely high. You know the City of Stars, the cheapest employee wants 5000 cash coins, and that is a lot compared to a coffee shop"
.Max stands and thanks the girl for the coffee and croissant, then says:
"What is your name? I am Max"
.The girl smiles, shakes Max's hand, and says:
"I am Guanda, pleased to meet you"
.Max smiles then Guanda goes to another customer while her cheeks are extremely red and tense.
.Max drinks the coffee and his eye falls on a sign beside him that says:
"The shop has rent exceeding 50000 cash coins, it must be paid at the end of this month. Anyone who wants to make a partnership with the shop owner and have the profits and everything else divided can provide that amount and become a formal partner of the shop owner"
.Max looks out of the corner of his eye toward Guanda, with her black hair and slightly plump red lips and her innocence, as she runs here and there to bring the orders quickly.
"[No problem then]"
.Suddenly Max receives a message on his phone from Xia ordering him to come immediately, and Max is surprised and whispers saying:
"When did I register that fool on my phone in the first place?"
.Max sighs and asks Guanda for the bill, and Guanda asks him to give her one minute only until she finishes cleaning the tables and preparing the drinks.
.Max waits calmly while Guanda hurries and places the small black box that contains the bill and a paper asking the shop to give the customer his opinion about the food and everything.
.Max smiles and takes his hand bag and takes out all the money he obtained from selling the gold coins.
"[In the end this is nothing, in the fortress behind the waterfall there are many more, she looks kind and deserves good]"
.Max writes words on the paper then puts 60000 thousand cash coins and leaves in silence.
.Guanda comes rushing to speak with him and feels sad that he left so quickly, then looks toward the black box and opens it, only to be shocked by the amount of money and to see a message in it:
"The coffee was extremely beautiful and made with great precision, while the croissant melted in the mouth and the chocolate filling was abundant and extremely beautiful, and I appreciate that effort and hope that we improve it together, my partner"
.Guanda is shocked and becomes extremely happy, realizing that the shop will not be closed, and she looks at the end of the paper to see Max's number, asking her to message him after several hours.
.Max arrives at the library, which is full of dust, and looks toward the sleeping old man with the red glasses and says:
"Old man, how I wish I did not see you asleep again"
.The old man opens his eye and looks toward Max and says:
"Huh? Who are you, you look familiar"
.Max laughs softly then says:
"And you forget quickly too, I am Max, old man, the person who was scammed, do you remember the money I got, those 2000 cash coins for that book"
.The old man smiles then says:
"Haha, Max, I already remembered you, how are you, boy, and how is Lady Xia? She praises you a lot and sees distant hopes in you"
.Max laughs softly and takes a cup of coffee out of the hand bag that he bought while coming, then places it on the table and says:
"Drink that coffee, old man, and stay awake, do not sleep too much in that position, it will hurt your back"
.Max exhales smoke from his mouth and moves closer to the shelves that are full of dust and takes the book located at the top of the first shelf and brings it down, and the old man speaks and says:
"You are the one who will be harmed by that pipe you smoke with"
.Max laughs as he enters the elevator and says:
"Forgive me then this time, old man, haha"
.The elevator descends toward the underground world.
.And in the cyberpunk lower world, and as a result of Max's memory that does not forget anything, he heads directly toward the central area where everyone gathers to receive missions.
.Max arrives inside the central area and suddenly Faro appears before him, looking tired and weak, which surprises Max and he says:
"What is wrong with you, Mr. Faro?"
.Faro coughs and smiles in Max's face, handing him a paper inviting him to come to the party that will be held in his house with everyone after one week from now, then Faro speaks and says:
"Nothing, Max, I just feel a little tired. Anyway, you will come next Monday, okay? Do not forget, and the address is below the paper"
.Max smiles and confirms that he will come, then passes by Faro, who coughs strongly and looks extremely exhausted.
.Max reaches Xia's office, where she is sitting angrily.
.Max enters, and the door closes behind him strongly, and the room turns black suddenly.
.Xia's face turns into a terrifying starry face as if she were a cosmic entity, and she screams in his face, saying:
"How dare you manipulate me, I will kill you, boy"
.Max laughs coldly and says:
"You cannot do that, the news of my achievement in that mission has reached the Lord of the Blue Stars area, and if I die he will ask about me and will open an investigation file and will discover the truth and remove you from your position"
.Xia gets angry and strikes the wall with her hand, causing it to shake slightly and the coffee cup of the client located on the upper floor of the central area building falls, and suddenly the room returns to how it was, so Xia sits on the chair and places her hand on her head and tries to calm down.
.Max smiles calmly and exhales smoke from his mouth then says:
"An amazing rookie solved the case of the abandoned factory in a few hours, does this need a tip or what do you think?"
.Xia looks into Max's eyes, which are smiling at her, and says to herself:
"[Strange, he is trying to provoke me]"
.Xia smiles and says:
"Of course he deserves a tip"
.Xia takes 1000 coins out of the office drawer and presents them to Max, who refuses to take them and asks her to make it double.
.Xia gets angry and says:
"It's just a case in the end, it does not deserve all this"
.Max smiles slyly and says:
"If it were just an ordinary case, you could have sent a higher awakened one than me in sequence or something like that to do it"
.Xia replies and says:
"It really seems that you are stupid, you are the only one here in sequence 7, you are the only Reader here, it seems that you do not know that when entities advance in sequences they lose all the abilities of their previous sequence, do you understand now why I sent you?"
.Max remains silent for moments and says to himself:
"[You vile entity, you who are I am who I am, you strip your followers of their previous abilities as if you are recreating them from scratch, I do not blame you, for you see them like dolls and try each time their powers increase to make them threads in your hand, just as you try with me, but I will stand in your way, manipulator]"
.Max speaks and says:
"But that does not prevent me from getting 2000 cash coins"
.Xia looks at Max with disdain then says:
"You know that you have my private fortress that I left for you behind the waterfall and that contains millions or even billions of gold coins, and you come and ask me for 1000 more from the organization's stock?"
.Max replies and says:
"But"
.Suddenly, strongly, Xia shouts in Max's face and orders him out of the office.
.Max knocks on the door and says:
"Hey, does that mean my work is done today?"
.Xia replies and says:
"Yes, now go"
.Max puts the pipe in his mouth and heads toward the upper world.
.Xia speaks to herself and says:
"[Arrogant, I will teach him and raise him]"
.Xia sighs then says:
"But in the end, that does not deny that he is extremely handsome"
.Xia smiles slyly and says to herself:
"[I will see now what the spy device that was on his body recorded, haha]"
.Xia holds her phone to check the recording of the device, only to be shocked, as a message appears to her:
"There is no signal"
.Xia gets angry and screams in the office in a loud voice saying:
"Maaaax....."!
.Max goes to the home in the hotel and decides to leave the fortress this week until he attends the party on Monday, then he puts the hand bag, the earpiece, and the watch away and changes his clothes to wear the previous clothes he was wearing.
.The classic shirt in a pure ivory color and its carefully folded collar under a loose knitted jacket with a V-shaped collar and a dark black pair of trousers designed with a straight and wide-leg cut.
.Then he sends a message to Guanda confirming that he will come now, and Guanda confirms that she is waiting for him and feels tension and joy.
.Max puts the smoking pipe aside on the desk and places the 1000 coins he took from Xia and 3000 other coins in a drawer beside the bed and goes down.
.Guanda waits patiently to the extent that she put a sign saying "Closed until repairs are finished" so she can speak more comfortably with the shop partner.
.Guanda becomes extremely tense and goes in front of the mirror and says while adjusting her clothes and whispers saying:
"I must be fully elegant, why am I so tense like this? It is not that big of a deal. Yes, he is handsome and at the same time frightening in those majestic clothes, but I must not show any tension in front of him and speak very formally"
.Guanda sweats and takes some tissues to wipe her face.
.Suddenly someone knocks on the door, causing her to become extremely tense and drop a cup on the floor, breaking it.
.Max enters and says:
"Hello, I thought the shop was open"
.Guanda looks toward Max and is shocked by his beauty and elegance and his non-frightening appearance, and she smiles involuntarily while Max advances and notices the glass on the floor and, with complete calm, Max kneels down and asks Guanda to bring him the broom.
.Guanda is shocked and the words slip from her and she does not know what to say, so she goes to bring the broom.
.Max rolls up his sleeves to clean the place where the glass is, revealing the extremely strong and prominent veins of his hand, which makes Guanda admire him even more and say to herself:
"[He is a kind boy]"
