Jack and Chris work tirelessly over the next few days, setting up gaming rigs, upgrading the internet speed, and organizing a small-scale gaming tournament to attract local players. The café's revenue is slowly increasing, but they're still far from the $500 daily target.
One afternoon, while Jack is outside the café buying snacks for the players, he spots a familiar face across the street – Lisa, his ex-wife. She's arm-in-arm with Derek, the man who orchestrated Jack's murder in his past life.
Jack's jaw clenches, and his fists tighten. Memories of Lisa's betrayal flood his mind – the coldness in her eyes as she signed the divorce papers, the smug smirk on Derek's face as he stole everything from Jack.
Lisa and Derek laugh, oblivious to Jack's presence. Derek is dressed in a sharp suit, his expensive watch glinting in the sunlight. He leans in and whispers something to Lisa, making her giggle.
Jack forces himself to turn away, his blood boiling. "Not yet," he mutters under his breath. "It's not time to confront them. I need to focus on the café first."

Jack takes a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Lisa and Derek walk away, completely unaware that the man they betrayed is watching them, planning his rise.
Jack returns to the café, his mind sharper than ever. "Alright, Chris. Let's get back to work. We're not done yet."
