The boss of Drive Devil Service picked himself up and dragged himself to the door when someone kept smacking his door. If not for the reinforcement the boss had made himself, the door would have broken down already.

Boss Devil made his way toward the door once that loud knocking woke him up from his sleep and he vowed to tear the one disturbing him a new one.

"What is wrong? Can you stop disturbing me when I am doing something important?"

The boss asked while still swinging on his feet. Anyone could tell that his 'important' work was drinking and then wallowing in his misfortune?

Luckily for him and the person on the other side of the door, they both knew each other quite well. Otherwise, the boss would not have been able to hold his temper back. 

"Come on boss. Is that the way to talk to someone who finally got you a customer? This person here promised to pay a decent price if you get him to his destination in time. Isn't that something you are good at?"

The boss sighed as he looked at his acquaintance. He knew that his acquaintance was right and the boss did have a reputation for getting people to places on time. But it was not going to be possible this time.

"Sorry to dash your hopes this time, but that will not be possible. The 'Devil car,' my pride and joy broke down recently. I do not have enough money to get it fixed. That is why this place is in such shambles."

The boss admitted. He felt sorry for the person who came here with such high hopes. It sucked that the boss would have to send him back empty-handed. But some things were just not possible to achieve.

But the customer his acquaintance managed to reel in was a little weird. He did not look disappointed at the news that he would not be able to get to his destination.

Instead, he looked determined to do something.

"Hey boss, if your devil car was fixed up, then will you be able to take me to the Elf Forest by tomorrow?"

The man asked this question and the boss was taken aback. 

Elf forest was usually a 3-day ride but the boss could cut it to one day. It was a possible request if his devil car was in working shape.

"Yeah kid, that would not have been a problem for me. But as you can see, the devil car has given up and the banks refuse to give me a loan to get it fixed. So, you should try your luck someplace else."

The boss was regretful after letting his business go. But he had a reputation to uphold and he refused to cheat or scam anyone. If he was going to earn money, it would be through honest means.

Boss expected his customer to go away finally. But the customer only smiled a pleasant smile.

And his next words shocked the boss.

"Alright, then I will get your devil car fixed as soon as possible. Think of it as a gift for our future cooperation."

...…..

Keith watched as the boss of Drive Devil fell quiet at his words. Now, Keith did not think much of this deal since it was a necessity for him. 

He did flinch internally when he realized he would have to spend a lot of money, but it was the guild money. And he could also invest in this place to make his money back.

Drive Devil's popularity sky-rocketed after the delivery event in the game and it had grown up to become the best business around this part of the town. It would not be a bad idea to create early connections with them.

Besides, this service was what most protagonists had used in the game. It would be a good place to keep an eye on them as well.

"Y-You want to get my car fixed? Are you serious? Do you know how much it would cost you?"

The Devil boss questioned with a surprised voice. What Keith had said just did not stick in his mind. He could not even process this information in his mind.

Why would someone go out of their way to help him out?

"Ahm money is not an issue for me. But this appointment is important to me. I would rather not have things become complicated for myself."

That and Keith did not want to leave any record of his travels behind. So, flying to his destination was out of options for him. 

"Alright, kid. If you can get my car fixed in time, I will personally drive you to your location."

Devil boss made this deal with Keith and Keith instantly opened his phone to make a call. The call went through and Keith quickly struck the deal.

It did not even take half an hour for the people to come to the Drive Devil and began to fix the Devil car. More than 4 people were working on the car, getting it fixed up and running.

Both the devil boss and his acquaintance watched this happen with surprised expressions on their faces. They had never seen such extreme service before.

The car was fixed up and running in record time. And Keith transferred the huge sum he had promised

His heart hurt when he watched his money flowing out of his bank account. But Keith had to have a good life.

"Is your car alright and running now? Can you turn it on?"

Keith asked and the boss tried his car out. It worked perfectly and much smoother than before. The boss felt gratitude in his heart and he vowed to return this favor in the future.

"Kid, I cannot thank you enough. This was what I wanted to do for a long time but I had no funds. As a reward for your help, you can use my service anytime you want to. I will even give you a written free pass for this place."

The boss sounded far more thankful than Keith had believed he would be. He was almost afraid that the boss might start crying after this.

"It is alright. But I would like it if you allow me to invest in your business as your partner. I have a feeling your business would explode soon."

Keith suggested but the boss looked hesitant. He knew how risky his business was and how much one could lose if one did not think things through carefully.

"Are you sure you want to invest in my business? It is not something great and you might also find more opportunities-"

Keith stopped the man before he could finish. 

"I am sure I want to invest in your business. You will not disappoint me with your performance, right?"

Keith asked the boss and the boss suddenly looked energetic and ready to charge in. The awkward smile and the lack of confidence faded away from the driver's eyes. Instead, they were filled with determination.

"Of course. I will turn this business into the most profitable one on this side of the town and then in the whole country. You can count on me to make you a lot of money, my dear friend."

Keith was happy to finally have a financial backbone like Noah. He was not glad he had decided not to take his disguise off when he had visited this place. 

"Now, my dear friend. Hold on for your dear life because we will be departing soon."

The boss warned Keith and he instantly gripped the side handle of the car tightly. He knew that the ride was going to be bumpy and a little rocky from the games.

Boss Devil's driving was 'something' that no one could get used to. If this was not a world full of mana or magic, Keith was sure Devil Boss's driving would have caused more than a few incidents on the way.

"Here we go. Wohooo, this is so much fun. Hey, are you alright?"

The boss asked and Keith tried to assure him that everything was alright. But the green shade of his face was not very convincing for anyone. Even Keith could not find it in himself to open his mouth.

The car was rocking everywhere and Keith regretted having breakfast. He could feel it coming up his stomach.

"There is candy on the side cabin. You can eat it to make yourself feel better. Most people feel sick when they sit with me."

The boss informed Keith a little too late. It took Keith everything he had to lean over and take the candy out. He did not even look at the flavor and popped it into his mouth.

Sweetness melted in his mouth, and Keith could finally distract himself from this nightmarish ride. By the end of it, he was sick. But he did manage to get to the Elf Forest on time.

"Let me know if you need anything else, my dear friend. I will try to get it arranged for you."

Finally, the Devil boss left and Keith could not help but agree with his nickname as the 'devil.'
