Kai and Sumian sit besides each other. While still holding their plate. The girl besides Mess Torrie was still looking on Sumian with.... Captivated expression!?. While Mess Torrie is avoiding to see Sumian. Because, if he stared at him even for a minutes or so. The chance of him being captivated is definitely 100%. Her beauty is just to absurb.
On the other hand, Kai was focused on eating every single food on his plates without cared about how people see him or think of him. While the girl besides him was was eating with refined movement. And lady like mannerism. Her eating mannerism could only be said as perfect like she is being taught this technique since younger. And adding her Angelic face. It's not that strange if other people think that she came from one of the most highest family in kingdom.
A lot of people was still staring at Sumian, some of them had been gazing on her from the moment she entered the door and because of his unnaturally beauty. They can't really take off their eyes on him. And their partner is feeling a sense of jealousy, however. What can they do? Her beauty is just to overwhelming even for them.
As for the man beside her. They can only felt envious and jealousy on him. Like they are thinking "what kind of dogs*hit luck does this guy have?" Well it's understandable. Because of his face and behavior. His face isn't handsome but a extraordinary normal. His eating mannerism is also like a hungry beast. Mess Torrie looked at his friend with complicated expression and his mouth curled up a little as he slowly spoke."hey don't you think you need to atleast suit your eating mannerism with your wife?."
He paused for a moments before continuing
Speaking. "Or else, the other people might think something unpleasant on both of you, especially on you." Kai stopped at eating for a moments. He grabbed the water on the table and drink everything with just one or two gulp. After that, his eyes landed on the boy
Flirtinh with 3 girls. He thinks for a couple of second before responding on Mess Torrie. "Well I don't really care whatever they're thinking, because it's my life.it's myself, It's and my choice. So no matter what kind of unpleasant thought they had, it's nothing but an opinion. And, all of us had different opinions on something whether it's bad or good, for example. Some people is thinking killing a man who killed someone is very wrong, while the others is saying it's just right. because of that. Our opinion is very unstable, so defining yourselves on something unstable is very wrong doing, but of course it's only applicable on those people who doesn't know even one thing about you. why would I change my eating habit ? Just because of their opinion when They don't even know one thing about myself, so for me their thinking does not matter at all."
"Why do I felt like, what you said had some truth? And it's sound pretty cool for some reason" He said. While laying his hand on the thigh of one of the 3 girls beside him. Ok the other hand, Sumian glance at him and sighed a little, his alluring lips moved slowly. "You said to much, inside of just saying, your very hungry that's why you can't maintain the right mannerism. Which is eating slowly" Mess Torrie covered his mouth with his left hand, trying his best not laught after hearing the wife of his best friend exposing him on his eating mannerism. "Shut up". He said while his face had turned red because of embarrassment.
But it quikly disappeared into nothingness and replaced with serious grave expression. As he felt the familiar gaze, staring at him from his back.His whole body trembled while still holding the plate. He become really tense, even Sumian and mess quikly notice the change on his expressio. Both of their face quikly turned serious as they scanned the surrounding but, both of them can't really felt something that making Kai extremely tense.
Slowly from the forehead, a sweat is slowly dripping from. And he gulp a mouthful of saliva, as he slowly looked back his face and the only thing appeared on his eyes was thick cement wall. But the intense, no, the familiar gaze wasn't disappearing. Rather, it become even more intense to the point Kai could felt his head is slowly hurting while his organ and blood is becoming distorted. But the most alarming thing is, his consciousness was slowly fading into nothingness. And Kai felt, no it's premonition, if he lost his consciousness. It's all over, his life was over and everything.
And in the midst of this life threatening situation. An unknown information is slowly pouring on his mind. And the information is all about his talent or raos. Kai stared at the wall for a couple of second before stabilizing the sudden surge of information on his mind but because of the gaze, and sudden information. He no longer had a strength to fight the fading of his consciousness. On the other hand, after sumian seeing it. She quikly put the plate his holding with on the table and pulled Kai over his body. Making Kai head lay into her shoulder and. Hugging him like a kid. Mess Torrie looked at the two couple, hugging each other with very sweet atmosphere.
He turned his head and just pulled the two girl on him, while the other man or woman that was staring at Sumian had envious and angry expression on their face. Some of them even want to go in their place and pulled Kai over the embrace of beautiful woman. But of course they can't, after all. The person who owned the table where Kai and Sumian was Mess Torrie. The youngest son of the most richest businessman in the whole kingdom.
"What happened?" Sumian asked kai who's face was paled and resting at her shoulder in very low tone that only Kai could ever heard. He inhaled heavy and answer sumian's question. "The culprit is here, he is watching us from nearby yet very far place. His gaze was very intense, capable of even killing me he only wants. But, for some unknown reason, he didn't killed me nor you. Also, I'll take what I said before, that guy could easily killed bunch of old man, at the age of 80-100. No matter how experience they're without leaving any trace. His will can't no longer be put in the same categories as mortal. But Demi- God, that creature is atleast 8Th Grade Existence. Or a Crowned, a Crowned with atleast two realm, or Double Crowned creature." He said in trembling voice , while his knees was still shaking from the fear. And that's not all, even his soul had slight damage.
.....
Inside of a cafe, A man sitting at the corner of the place, he had greyish hair wearing a black trench coat. And having a annoying smiled. Sitting on the chair with a cup of tea resting on the table. His eyes was staring at the distant place with a looked of interest. He slowly grabbed the cup from the table and take a couple of sip in the coffee. before he lower it again on the table. "He noticed me again? How amusing" he said in again annoying voice.
After that,he turned his gaze towards the the whole place. Covered with thick and blood. The wall had a blood writing of an ancient and unrecognizable language. While the ground had a drawing of ancient circle symbol. And emitting a very Evil energy capable of even turning people into demon. The man who caused this scene just smiled lightly, but of course it's very annoying, his smiled didn't contained any Evil intention nor good intentions, it's like indifference into everything except , annoyance. He slowly spoke."8 to go"
...
Sumian, on the hand looked at Kai complicated expression, she was sure Kai isn't someone who would lied because of some trivial thing like this, but. There's a no way someone at the existence of crowned would spy on them. After all, they aren't a common one like, they're very rare being outside of the kingdom. But considering the strange disappearance of countless people without leaving any trace. Then it would really makes sense if the culprit is already 8th Grade Existence. An existence that has very deep connection with the world. And with just only one command from these kind of being, the nature or the world itself will be the one who would create the way for them.
"What do you think His intention?" Sumian asked Kai. And he respond with the most expecting answered, "it's probably because I'm the only person who see that human activity on the shore. Because of that, he was after me." But of course it's lies, to be honest. even kai doesn't know the reason why is that guy are pestering him. At first, he even tried to killed him , but right now. The Entity doesn't show any sign of malice.
"I don't think that's actually the reason but I guess, I'll accept that answered, so what we will do now?" She asked, actually, Sumian already know that Kai would continue his plan which is gathering enough information. And preparing for the treasure no matter what. But she still want to confirmed it, because, maybe. There might be a change on his planned.
"Well, I think that entity doesn't had any Bad intention towards me or you, after we survived from that place, atleast for now, but we can't really rule out the possibility, so we will still continue the planned but be more playsafe. Also, we need a priest, atleast someone with a power to detect corruption. Because i had a bad feeling about this" he said in serious expression while still hugging Sumian, her faint fragrant is lingering on his nose, making him not wanting to let go of this smelled.Of course, it's not what he truly like, but it's his what body desired.
"Is there corruption within your body? No, is that creature planted a corruption within you?.Because it's the only reason why you want me get a priest, specifically someone who' can detect a corruption." [Sumian]
"I also think that creature planted something on my body. Considering he was a higher being. I can't really detect it nor defend myself, also. Or Maybe, the reason why he didn't killed me was because, he planted something on me. And after the right time, he would used me as pawn. But it's all a theory. After all, I didn't sense any malice coming from the creature"
