Chapter 278 Supreme Cola And The Start Of The Meeting
"If you are wondering, no, I didn't poison the tea. The chat group prohibits us from killing each other and even if it didn't, I can easily kill you without using poison."
Allen removed any doubts in Distere's mind of Allen poisoning the tea. Allen wouldn't resort to dirty tricks like that especially when he could just stop time and kill Distere if he was prohibited to do that.
And besides, killing Distere wouldn't provide him any benefits so even if the chat group allowed them to kill each other, Allen wouldn't kill Distere.
"No, it's not that. I know you won't poison the tea. It's just that… I don't like tea."
Hearing Distere's words, Deus and John looked at Distere as if he was a heretic. At that time, Deus and John agreed with the executioner that Distere was a heretic.
As for Allen, he didn't show any expression as he just calmly sip his tea.
"What do you like then?"
Allen inquired. He wouldn't start the meeting if any of his chat group members didn't have any beverage they could drink during the meeting.
"Cola. I prefer cola."
Distere immediately answered Allen's question.
Distere Faith was a transmigrator. His past life was being Paul Smith. Not only Paul Smith was a supportive reader of ShadowKatake, but he was also an American.
Because of that, he preferred to drink Cola instead of tea. It's not that he hated tea, it's just that he didn't like to drink tea.
Distere was forced to drink tea after he transmigrated to this world since this world didn't have any cola. Not to mention, every conversation of a noble had tea during the conversation which made Distere, who was the son of a Duke, dislike tea.
And the time that Distere saw Allen create teapots and teacups, he hoped that Allen was also capable of creating cola. That's why he mouthed his dislike for tea, in hopes of Allen creating his cola.
Allen was half-American so he can understand Distere's like for cola. That was why he wasn't offended by Distere's words, unlike John and Deus.
With a snap of his finger, one of the teacups that were for Distere disappeared and it was replaced with a can of cola.
The can of cola had a label plastered on it which was "Supreme Cola". The body of the cola can was in a black-and-white color scheme.
Supreme Cola was a cola brand in Allen's world.
The Supreme Cola recipe was created by the Supreme Pharmacist and it was developed to have no unhealthy side effects on the consumer's health. Not only that, consuming Supreme Cola would slightly improve one's health since it was created by the Supreme Pharmacist to have health benefits.
So not only was Supreme Cola a soft drink, but it was also a medicinal drink. Not to mention, its taste was far superior to other cola brands in Allen's world.
The manufacturing of the Supreme Cola was managed by the Supreme Manufacturer from time to time to ensure the quality of every batch of Supreme Cola was maintained.
So it wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was indeed a SUPREME Cola. A cola that reigned supreme among other cola brands.
The Supreme Cola that Allen had created using his <Supreme Creator> talent was no different from the original in his world.
Distere knew that the beverage that Allen replaced with the teacup was cola but from his expression, he was confused as to what brand it was. He hadn't heard of the Supreme Cola brand in his past life mainly because his former planet didn't have any Supremes living on it.
But since Allen had assured him before that he wouldn't poison him, Distere didn't have any doubts about the Supreme Cola.
Distere picked up the Supreme Cola from the table and opened its lid by pulling it. Holding it in his right hand, Distere could feel that it was cold.
With a gulp, Distere drank the Supreme Cola which made his eyes widen at the taste of it!
He didn't know if it was because he hadn't tasted cola for a long time or the Supreme Cola was tastier than the other cola brands in his past life. But Distere couldn't help but be in awe of how tasty the Supreme Cola was!
*Burp*
"Tastes like America!"
Distere let out a burp after emptying the can of Supreme Cola in one go. He was clearly satisfied with what he drank as satisfaction was still present on his face.
"Can I have more Supreme Cola?"
Allen responded to Distere's question by creating a case of Supreme Cola under the table.
Distere replaced the empty can of cola with the new one. This time, Distere slowly drank the Supreme Cola to savor its taste.
Now that all of them were ready to start the meeting, Allen started the meeting.
"Distere, you already know about some basics of the chat group and its rules, right?"
Allen asked Distere so that he would know to what extent Distere knew about the chat group. After all, Distere was crucial to the completion of the Main Task so it was best to let him know about the Main Task.
Allen had noticed that the Main Task wouldn't be known by the chat group members that were invited during the Main Task. So Distere didn't know about the contents of the Main Task.
"Yep. I already know the rules and basics of the chat group. I can assume that you, Time Manipulator Of The Apocalypse, and Idle Zenchillionare Tycoon are currently having the Main Task. Am I right?"
Distere inquired which received a nod from Allen.
"One of the sub-tasks of the Main Task required us to invite you into the chat group."
"And if you are wondering, we already know about your past life, as Paul Smith. As well as your system which is the Supreme Apostle System."
Allen didn't lie when he answered Distere simply because he didn't have any reason to do so.
True Friendship could only be built by trust. So Allen didn't lie to Distere.
"I see…. The chat group is omniscient, huh?"
Distere muttered in realization.
"What do you need me to do? There must be a reason you told me all of this."
