Conversation at the restaurant

Meanwhile on Damian's side...

It looks like Damian, Ethan, Eren and Lin are now waiting for their orders to arrive. While waiting, Ethan, Eren and Lin decided to have a chat. As for Damian, all this time he had only been listening and at the same time judging Ethan's behavior.

"Hmm Ethan is so different from me. He's an extrovert whereas I'm introverted and famous for being cruel. Even though I only kill bad people, not good people but everyone knows I'm cruel and thinks that I also hurt bad people. Humanity, always lies , slander, saying nothing and sometimes believing fake news," Damian thought, irritated.

When Damian had just finished thinking, suddenly Ethan and the others stared at him. Of course this surprised him.

"Why?" asked a confused Damian.

"Master Cadwagn hasn't spoken a word since. Usually, master Cadwagn is very active in conversation," Lin said with a small laugh. Hearing that, Damian was petrified and laughed.

"Ah hahahaha I see. Yes, I didn't intend to interrupt your conversation, so I kept quiet," said Mr. Cadwagn which made Lin silent.

"No problem, Mr. Cadwagn. If you want to join in the conversation, just join! Don't hesitate," said Eren which made Damian nod his head.

"Alright alright. So what do you want to hear?" Damian asked as he grabbed the chopsticks then played with them like playing a pen in the sect meeting room.

"Hmm, may we ask a question, lord prince Damian?" Lin asked which made Eren glance at him.

"Hmm about the prince? So what? What do you want to hear about it?" said Damian.

"Is it true that the prince has a very bad character? Is it true that he hates people who don't help much? Is it true that for example the prince doesn't like young children because he thinks young children are a burden? " Lin asked which made Damian and Ethan not expect to hear such a question.

"You heard that news... where did you come from? All of your questions, the answer is wrong! the prince is sometimes kind, he doesn't hate people who don't bother much! He doesn't hate young people and also never thinks that young people just a burden," Damian replied.

"Hmm, that's right, it's a pity that the prince is always talked about badly in the community. Even though he's just an introvert," said Lin, Damian nodded his head.

"Therefore, I am very annoyed when I hear someone vilify the prince's good name!" Damian snapped, who was honestly really nervous because he was trying to lose his good name.

"Yes, it's true. I also don't like hearing lies that only bring down the good name of the prince. Really, the prince," replied Eren, Damian nodded his head.

"I didn't expect that my sect's children would turn out to be understanding people. But....is it all like this? or is it just part of it?" Damian thought. Damian glanced at Ethan who had been listening to the conversation between the two of them.

"Ethan, why don't you join? Just say what you want to say!" Damian said with a smile. Hearing this, Ethan fell silent and lowered his head.

"Hmm, why is it that when you meet me, Damian's brother always tries to look hateful to me? Being rude to me?! Even though I know that he did it all just pretending. But why did he have to do that?" said Ethan which made Eren and Lin silently mute hearing his question. Damian took a deep breath then gave his answer.

"Hmm, that problem, you shouldn't need to know about it. I also don't know why the prince seems to hate you. What's clear is that he hates you, sometimes the prince is also worried about you, pays attention to you even if secretly," replied Damian. Of course, Damian wasn't going to reveal his secret to Ethan just like that, especially around them there were many other people who could overhear the four of them talking.

"Okay, I see what you mean. I understand the position of Prince Damian's master," said Ethan while lowering his head. Damian nodded his head with a faint smile.

"Hmm, thank God, he's an understanding child. Hu for that time I found a bak kid, if not I killed it a long time ago. But until now, I still can't get information about his identity and his family," Damian thought as he looked at Ethan who started talk to his two friends.

"Oh yeah Ethan, who are your mama and papa? why can you live with bro Cadwagn?" asked Lin which made Ethan silent while Damian was immediately ready in a listening position.

"Hmm my parents? I don't know! I don't remember. Obviously, the first person I saw was..."

"Food's here," the waiter came over and cut Ethan off. Damian turned to the waiter who was now placing their order.

"I asked to add flour, yes," said Damian. The waiter nodded his head and left.

"Hmm, Mr. Cadwagn actually likes shrimp, doesn't he? I think you are allergic to shrimp because every sect serves a menu of food that contains processed shrimp, surely you won't eat it," said Cadwagn.

"This isn't for me but for Ethan. Incidentally he likes flour shrimp," Damian curtly made Lin and Eren turn to Ethan.

"Wow, Ethan, you like flour shrimp too? Just like me," said Lin with a smile.

"I like fried shrimp or grilled shrimp," said Eren. Ethan was silent and then looked at Damian who had been watching him all this time

"By the way bro Cadwagn, looks like bro Damian isn't feeling well huh?" asked Ethan innocently. Hearing that, of course, made Damian surprised. How did Ethan find out about his current condition?

"How did you find out? but don't worry, the prince has improved," Damian replied calmly.

"When I was face to face with him, I felt cold sweat running down his body and his skin was hot and slightly red. Surely Damian had a fever, right?" said Ethan which made Damian petrified.

"Hmm, it turns out that this child's eyesight, be careful too! How can he realize something like that," Damian thought, who was quite impressed with Ethan.

"Yes, you're right. The prince does have a fever but his condition has improved so he decided to come to this sect and check it out because he hasn't come for years. Is that right Lin? Eren?" Damian said.

"Wow, Ethan, you're so cool that you can guess pain like that! Your guesses are so detailed too, cool!" said Lin who was so amazed by the figure of Ethan.

"Hmm, if you are pitted against the prince, who will win? You or the prince Damian? because if you look at it, you will have the same level as the prince," said Eren which made the three of them stare at him.

Ethan smiled and glanced at Damian who was disguised as Cadwagn.

"As good as I am, until whenever Damian is the greatest, the best. So if you think that it's possible for me to win if I fight with Damian brother, of course that's a big mistake!" said Ethan which made Eren silent. While Lin laughed at his words.

"You're right! The prince is the best. So don't ever compare! Although nothing is impossible if the above is willing," Lin glanced at Ethan. Ethan smiled, realizing that Lin had turned to look at him.

"Oh yeah by the way, let's enjoy the food first. We'll continue chatting later," Damian said warmly. The three of them nodded their heads, after that Ethan, Damian, Lin and Eren started to enjoy the food they ordered.

While on the other hand...

Looks like Michael is now entering his room. Not long after, he sat on the bed with his eyes on the pile of books on his desk.

"Hmm, I've practiced so many times. But until now, my destroyed Meridians couldn't be repaired! If I hadn't been deceived back then, this definitely wouldn't have happened!" Michael grumbled as he hit the bed. A few seconds after he hit his bed, Cadwagn suddenly entered his room which made him surprised.

"Michael," said Cadwagn much to Michael's surprise.

"Gosh...sorry Mr. Cadwagn, what's wrong?" asked Michael who then rose to his feet, saluting Cadwagn.

"Don't be so tense, just relax. Hmm why don't you join your friends?" said Cadwagn as he sat on Michael's bed.

"It's okay, I'm more comfortable alone than joining them," Michael briefly averted his gaze. Cadwagn smiled faintly at Michael's answer, he sighed and took one of the books on Michael's study table using his magic.

"You are non-stop every day, practicing how to build your Meridians again to the point that you are indifferent to your surroundings. You even choose to be alone instead of having fun with your friends," said Cadwagn. Michael was silent hearing his words, indeed what Cadwagn said was true.

"But I suggest, if you want your Meridian to come back again....you have to be good friends with Ethan!" said Cadwagn which of course made Michael very surprised to hear it.

"Did I hear right? My meridians can return if I become good friends with Ethan? Is that all?" asked Michael, Cadwagn nodded his head with a faint smile.

"Yes! if you want your Meridian back, you have to be good friends with Ethan. Never run away from him let alone make him hate you! Don't do that! Yes, that's my advice which is really recommended to try. But if you still want it your way, go ahead, ' replied Cadwagn who stood up and stepped out of Michael's room.

But by the time Cadwagn opened the door to Michael's room...

"I will be friends with Ethan! I will try to establish a good friendship with him so that my Meridian will return. I want to avenge my mother's death!" said Michael which made Cadwagn stop in his tracks. Cadwagn smiled as Cadwagn spat out the words he expected.

"That's good then. Please establish a good, close and sincere friendship with Ethan," Cadwagn said casually and then left.

When Cadwagn had left...

"Hmm, what's wrong with Ethan actually? Why does he seem to have a strong hidden power huh? Even the figure of Cadwagn even told me to be close to him so that my Meridian can be repaired," thought Michael who was quite curious about the true figure of Ethan.

Meanwhile on Damian's side...

By now Damian and the others had finished their respective food and drink orders.

"It's really full and delicious to eat at this restaurant, isn't it?" said Eren while stroking his stomach which made Lin and Ethan laugh to see it.

"Hahahaha, Eren! You have a habit of stroking your stomach after eating. It's so funny you know!" said a laughing Lin. Ethan agreed with Lin's opinion while Eren smiled.

"Yes it is, my stomach is very full!" in short. Eren just finished speaking, suddenly Ethan stood up which made everyone turn towards him.

"Where are you going, Ethan?" asked the astonished Lin.

"I want to pay for all these fees. This is a token of my gratitude for what you have done for me! You are so welcoming of me who just joined. And for Cadwagn, I thank you profusely. Maybe my treat this time, there is no what's wrong with the things that Bro Cadwagn has done a lot for me," replied Ethan who was suddenly rejected by Damian.

Damian stood up and blocked Ethan who wanted to pay.

"I can't do that! Can't I be treated by you?! It's okay, let me pay. The three of you just chat here while waiting for me to pay at the cashier," said Damian who then walked to the cashier. Inevitably, Ethan decided to comply. He sat back in his chair which was right next to Lin.

"Hmm, you are dear by Cadwagn, aren't you? Just look! He really cares about you," said Lin who praised Cadwagn even though the person he was praising was actually Damian in disguise.

"Yes, indeed bro Cadwagn is good, but bro Damian is also good!" said Ethan who continued to praise Damian even though the positive actions that Damian had done, were never seen by anyone.

"I'm sorry Ethan, I'm not being presumptuous. But why are you defending Prince Damian so much? dear him so much even though he's been rude to you?! Just look at that! if he loves, cares about you, he won't do that!" said Eren who was a little angry with Ethan who had been defending Damian all this time.

"That's not it, you all don't know how to love Damian's brother for someone. Only me and his five subordinates know his true nature! Even though I really rarely meet Damian's brother, but I know everything about him," explained Ethan who made Lin and Eren shook their heads.

"My advice, it's better that you don't love someone so deeply. I'm worried that if one day, Prince Damian accidentally hurts your feelings, how will you behave?! I think you'll be really hurt even to the point of crying. , care properly. You understand?!" Lin insisted which made Ethan speechless.

All this time, Damian had been eavesdropping on their conversation. He felt very offended because almost everyone judged him badly. Only a few people really know his true nature, and care about him.

"Hmm again, I'm listening to these words. Even though I've done my best, but slander spreads faster and is more trusted than honest news. But it doesn't matter, I'm used to all of this," thought Damian.
