ENCRYPTED : The Man Behind The Mask

CHAPTER 26

The silent, classy aura accompanied by the orchestra  makes me relaxed, letting me  temporarily forget my problems.

Van Ashtron broke the silence

"Ey, Why are there so few costumers here?"

I saw a smirk on ZK's lips

"It is because of the price of the food and service  that they are providing"

"Woah, why did you bring here man?"

"It is celebration right ? So I should provide you with the best"

Alpheus Jade giggled

"Well that's my brother"

A staff lead as to a long table where we sat, he also handed us the menu. Zymophore Kriegspiel didn't open it

"Bring me all of your best sellers, give me your best"

The table is really full of foods, each one taste so good, The price is worth it.

We enjoyed that together, not just the foods but also the laughter and also each toast  of wine

It's already late night we are all full, I can't believe that  we finished all of that. I didn't also noticed that we finished four bottles of wine.

ZK raised his hand, a staff went near him

"Bill out"

"Card or cash?"

"Card"

The waiter bring us the bill, and handed it to ZK.

Thunder Kade is sitting next to him, I could see that his eyes widens as he saw the bill

"What the f? 85 296!"

ZK just swipe his card.He partially stand up to get something inside the pocket of his pants.

He bring out his wallet, his thick wallet full of blue bills. He get I think five to ten thousand pesos and then give it to the waiter.

"Here's your tip"

I could see the amazement on the eyes of the waiter. We stand up and started to walk outside the restaurant. The waiter who received the tip from ZK opened the  door for us

The wide smile on his lips still don't fade away.

Now, we are walking to the parking lot, where our cars are parked.

Alpheus Jade spoke

"Hey, isn't it a good chance for us to play in the arcade?"

Thunder Kade answered him

"We wanted to but we haven't bring any money with us"

AJ softly giggled before responding

"don't worry about money, ZK already gave free dinner so I will will be funding the fun"

"Arcade?, I think I should go home"

ZK said as he was about to get inside the car.

Thunder Kade tapped his shoulders

"No, You will join us"

"I-I still need to finish something"

"You are the schools president, there is no deadline for you"

Alpheus jade laughed

"Hey, you bastard don't laugh at me. Okay I'll join you"

This time, I will still aboard  ZK's car but now we are with Thunder Kade.

The trip wasn't that long  because we are just few minutes away from the mall that opens untill late night.

We parked at the wide parking lot.

Only few people are left inside that mall.

We are the only costumers at the arcade.

Alpheus Jade went to the counter to pay for tokens

"Should I pay by card or cash?"

"It's all up to you sir"

"Well, I think I'll pay by cash, so that means you are going to give me 4,000 tokens"

"Sir, for you and for your friends it will be unlimited tokens. You can play untill you want for this day"

He just smiled at the cashier.

He went to us with a handful of tokens.

We get as many as our hands can hold except for ZK

"Hey, brother here get some tokens"

"No, thanks"

Van Ashtron  went nearer to Zymophore Kriegspiel.

"Arcade is fun, why do you hate it?"

"It's a fraud"

Kayisha Denise handed him ten tokens

"Here, give it a try"

"No"

We left him sitting on a chair in front of a game, we went on separate ways.

I enjoyed the firing games and also the karaoke.

When we all felt tired we went back on where we left ZK, he is still sitting on the same spot.

"Hey"

"Arcade is a fraud!"

"No it isn't"

"No it is clearly a fraud, look I lost all of the tokens without something in return"

We went home. Well it is really too late
