As I was writing my original strategies on the whiteboard, I noticed that Adam just stared at the floor, trying to understand something

  "What's wrong? " I asked him calmly

  ". . . No, I just. . . Hey, was that entity the one who teleported you here? "

  "Yeah "

  ". . . So, when you face him. . . Did you ever feel. . . Scared? Like 'feel like going crazy' type of scare? "

  "What did you mean? "

  ". . . I. . . Encountered him before I got here "

  ". . . Did he do anything to you? "

  "No, luckily Syed was there to handle him. . . But, when I saw him, I felt like. . . I-I don't even know how to describe it. . . Just a pure terror for some reason "

  ". . . But you didn't easily get scared "

  "I know. . . That's what messes me up "

  ". . . To answer your question, no, I didn't feel scared "

  "---?! W-Wait, seriously?! "

  "Yeah, when I first saw him, I didn't feel any dreadful aura or anything from him. He is an entity, but he's just something that I couldn't understand "

  "I see. . . By the way, when you met him, what did he say to you? "

  His question made me stop writing on the whiteboard for a moment, before continuing to talk calmly

  "He asked me to develop my 'power' "

  "Wha-?! Wait wait wait, back up. What the hell did you mean by 'power'?! You're gateless, you shouldn't even be able to cast magic!

  ". . . That's what I'm still trying to figure out, perhaps he means something other than magic "

  "Other than magic?. . . Does he mean like magical weapons or something? "

  ". . . I don't think that's what he means, if it is, then he should give it, or at least tell me where I should look "

  He then gets up and turns my body around before checking my eyes, as if inspecting me

  "You didn't get corrupted or anything right? Please tell me your eyes didn't turn black "

  ". . . No, I didn't. Can you stop? "

  "I'm just worried you know? What if you lost your humanity and started becoming a demon? "

  ". . . You should read fewer of those story novels, it makes you think like this "

  "Hey, it's better to overthink now than lose you later. If there's a sign then I could take action immediately "

  As he had inspected me, he then sat down once again at the bed and looked at me

  "So, what the hell were you writing on the board earlier? "

  ". . . My strategy "

  "Wait, like. . . Strategy to bring down the entire government? "

  ". . . No, just Frost Diamond, I didn't make any for the government yet "

  "Huh, didn't you say earlier that you want to take down the whole government? "

  "Well, since I want to get along with the protestors-"

  "Wait. . . Protestors? "

  "Henrik didn't tell you anything? "

  "Err. . . No, or maybe he did and I already forgot "

  "Basically, the protestors are protesting about the government, the heroes, and the missing people. You get that so far? "

  "Hmm, I do. But what about it? "

  "Well, as I said earlier, I'm thinking I want to make connections with the protestors. That's why I didn't make any plan about the government yet "

  "Okaaayyy. . . Why? "

  "'Cause I don't want them to split up "

  "Huh? "

  "Imagine this, you and I both hungry, and we both want to eat. You want something else, I want something else "

  "Ok. . . "

  "But we only had enough money to buy one food. What will you do? "

  "Err. . . We buy something else that we both like? "

  "So what if either of us forcefully takes the money and buys the food we want? "

  ". . . We got into a heated argument. Maybe to the point that next time I just buy my own food without giving a damn "

  ". . . "

  ". . . Oh! Is that what you mean? You want to avoid ideological conflicts? "

  "Yeah, I don't know the protestors' full motive yet. The only thing we share is the desire to take down the government. If I already planned and executed ahead, my first step will be useless "

  "So you don't want to clash with their plans, huh? "

  "Hmm, there are 2 worst possibilities that will happen. First, they see me as someone who wants to split them and make them distrust me. Second, they split up because of how 'reasonable' my plan is and some of them follow me "

  "Eh? The second one sounds good, why's the first one bad? "

  "It's good for short-term, in the long term there are now 2 factions that want to rule the country, might cause civil war or worse, the government manipulates the other faction "

  "Okay. . . That makes sense. Then what? "

  "Next, I forged a fake ID reporter card so I could enter Frost Diamond's tower and-"

  "Wait, what for? "

  "Ask him some questions to get some information about him "

  "Well, good news for you. I have a way to make your job easier " He said while smirking

  "Huh? "

  He then reached for his pocket and pulled out a small golden nameplate, radiating pure holy energy with Syed's name carved on it

  "What's that? "

  "Syed said that if I showed this, I could get a free pass and enter any building "

  I then stared at him before exhaling the breath I held and massaging my forehead with my fingers

  "Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier. . .? "

  "Well, I just remembered about it " He said with his dumb grin

  I then reached for the marker pen and crossed the second step and immediately wrote the new improvised plan

  "Change of plan, you'll go there as a hero to meet up with him while I act as your assistant "

  "Huh? "

  "I'll explain later, just know that's the second step "

  "Ok. . . Then? "

  I then reached for the plastic bag and pulled out the broken CCTV inside it

  "I'll use this to spy on him, get some footage that might expose him "

  "Wait wait wait, where the hell did you get that?! "

  "I noticed this when I was out earlier, I broke it so I could repair and adjust it to my advantage later "

  ". . . Since when did you learn to engineer shit? "

  "I didn't, but I'll learn from the internet later. For the last step, expose him to the public through social media and the news "

  "How the hell are we going to achieve that? Should we use this nameplate and ask them? "

  "No, I suspect the news was covering for the government, so exposing ourselves is not a good idea. It's better if we disguise ourselves as the co-workers "

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  ". . . Since when did you think all of this? "

  "2 days ago. But I improvised it as time goes on, just like earlier "

  "Damn it dude, this strategy of yours sounds a bit complex. . . "

  "No it's not. If anything I think this is too simple "

  "Too simple?! "

  "Yes "

  ". . . I should just let it go and accept that you're not a simple genius guy "

  "Good for you then. Now, can you go get Henrik? I want to ask him something, about that email earlier "

  "Alright, alright. Wait here "

  He then got up and walked out of the door, before I approached the laptop and sat down in the chair

  As I read the email once again, I'm trying to understand what kind of person Henrik's father was

  "This sounds lighthearted, casual. . . "

  That means he doesn't sound like someone who's trying to make this email look casual just for the sake of it

  He's really telling this guy his story while inserting the coordinates. . .

  Huh, so these two really are friends huh? Not just two protesters with the same motive

  Just then, I heard both Adam and Henrik walk into the room, and Adam instantly sat down on the bed.

  "You called for me? " Henrik said to me

  "Hmm, I did. Just want to ask if you know who this friend of your father is "

  Henrik then walked closer before checking the email address, as he's trying to remember whose this belongs to

  "Oh! Yeah, I know who this email belongs to "

  "Who? "

  "Uncle Reggie. I have known him since 5, he's a nice guy, never swearing at all "

  "Wait, Really? Damn, he sounds like a saint " Adam said to him

  Or it could be a facade. . .

  "Does he ever come here? "

  "Very often. Even after my father's death, he still comes here to check on us, sometimes he buys us some food "

  "I see. . . So will he come here today? "

  "Yeah, I heard when my mom was talking with him on the phone "

  Just then, we heard the knock on the door before Henrik's Mom walked in

  "?h, sh?rrye t? ?nt?rr?pt. H?nr?k, ?nkl? R?gg??'sh h?r? "

  ("Ah, sorry to interrupt. Henrik, Uncle Reggie's here ")

  "?lr?ght, M?m. ?n? m?m?nt "

  ("Alright, Mom. One moment ")

  She then closed the door before Henrik looked back at us

  "You guys want to meet him? " He asked

  "Meeting a guy who's basically a saint? Say less, I'm hooked to see what that guy is like " Adam said, a bit excited

  ". . . Hmm, me as well "

  We then walked out of the room and saw a man who was sitting down on the couch, speaking politely and kindly to Henrik's Mom while sipping a cup of coffee

  "Sh?, h?wy'r? ye?? ?ndh H?nr?k v??n dh??ng? ? h?p? n?th?ng v?dh h?pp?nsh "

  ("So, how're you and Henrik been doing? I hope nothing bad happens ") That man asked

  As she was about to sip her own cup of coffee, his question made her stop before lowering the cup slowly to the table

  ". . . H-H?nr?k v??ng ph?lsh?lye tr??t?dh ?sh ?n? ?ph th? pr?t?sht?rsh ? ph?wy dh?yesh ?g? "

  (". . . H-Henrik being falsely treated as one of the protestors a few days ago ")

  "Wyh?t?! ?sh h? ?k?! "

  ("What?! Is he ok?! ")

  "H?-H?'sh ph?n?. . . Th?nksh t? th? k?nsht?ll?t??nsh th?t sh?m??n? wy?sh n??rvye ?ndh h?lp?dh ?sh "

  ("He-He's fine. . . Thanks to the constellations that someone was nearby and helped us ")

  ". . . Wyhye dh?dhn't ye?? k?ll m?? ? wy??ldh h?v? r?shh?dh th?r? ?ndh h?lp?dh "

  (". . . Why didn't you call me? I would have rushed there and helped ")

  "?-?. . . ? zh?sht dh?dhn't wy?nt t? tr??vl? ye??. Ye?? h?lp?dh ?sh ? l?t sh?nk? mye h?shv?ndh wy?sh sht?ll ?l?z? "

  ("I-I. . . I just didn't want to trouble you. You helped us a lot since my husband was still alive. . . ")

  "Ye?? shh??ldhn't ph??l l?k? th?t. ?pht?r ?ll, ? pr?m?sh?dh th?t ? wy??ldh t?k? k?r? ?ph ye?? v?th, dh?dhn't ?? "

  ("You shouldn't feel like that. After all, I promised that I would take care of you both, didn't I? ")

  "?. . . ?'m sh? sh?rrye, R?gg??. . . ?ll ? dh?dh t? ye?? wy?sh k??p ?shk?ng ph?r ye??r h?lp. . . "

  ("I. . . I'm so sorry, Reggie. . . All I did to you was keep asking for your help. . . ")

  "Dh?n't v? sh?rrye. ?n ph?ct, ?'m h?ppye t? h?lp, ?sh l?ng ?sh ye?? v?th ?r? ph?n? "

  ("Don't be sorry. In fact, I'm happy to help, as long as you both are fine ") He said while smiling softly

  Just then, Henrik called out to him as he approached them closer and closer

  "H?ye, ?nkl? "

  ("Hey, Uncle ")

  "H?ye, H?nr?k. H?wy ?r? ye??? "

  ("Hey, Henrik. How are you? ") He said before lightly slapping his back a few times

  "Dh??ng ph?ne sh? ph?r. Ye?? sht?ll dh?dh th?t v?r?ng ?phph?k? j?v? "

  ("Doing fine so far. You still did that boring office job? ")

  "H?h?, th?t'sh th? ?nlye wy?ye ph?r m? t? g?t m?n?ye ?pht?r ?ll. ?h, th?r? ?r? ph?wy kr?msh?n kl??dhsh ?n th? k?tkh?n. G? ??t th?m ?ph ye?? wy?nt "

  ("Haha, that's the only way for me to get money after all. Ah, there are a few crimson clouds in the kitchen. Go eat them if you want ")

  "R??llye?! Th?nksh, ?nkl?! "

  ("Really?! Thanks, Uncle! ") Henrik said before he immediately rushed to the kitchen

  "Wow. . . Henrik really wasn't lying when he said he's a nice guy. . . " Adam whispered to me

  ". . . "

  ". . . Dani? "

  "Adam, I'm 100% convinced he's a nice guy "

  ". . . Wow, that's rare. First time hearing you acknowledge anyone other than us as nice. What makes you say that? "

  "When I was out earlier, I saw him help civilians out of a burning apartment. And didn't stay for fame. Kinda reminds me of you guys "

  "Aww, thank you for the praise " He teased me

  "That's a fact, not a praise "

  "Same thing. By the way, what's he excited about? "

  "About snack. To be precise, cotton candy that had been compressed into a cube with strawberry cream inside "

  As soon as I finished saying that, I could hear Adam swallow his saliva, already imagining the taste

  “. . . That sounds delicious. . . Hey, you think if I-"

  "No. He bought it for them, not us. Don't ask for some "

  "Damn it. . . "

  As we walked closer, they both then turned their head towards us, before Henrik's Mom introduced us to him

  "?h, R?gg??. Th?sh? ?r? Dh?n? ?ndh ?dh?m. Dh?n? ?sh th? ?n? wyh? h?lp?dh ?sh "

  ("Ah, Reggie. These are Dani and Adam. Dani is the one who helped us ")

  "?h? Th?sh ye??ng v?ye? Hmm, h?'sh d?f?n?t?lye ?nt?r?sht?ng "

  ("Oh? This young boy? Hmm, he's definitely interesting ")

  "H?h?, th?ye v?th ?r?. Wy?ll th?n, ?'ll v? ?n th? k?tkh?n t? pr?p?r? d?nn?r. T?lk t? th?m ? l?ttl?, wy?ll ye??? "

  ("Hehe, they both are. Well then, I'll be in the kitchen to prepare dinner. Talk to them a little, will you? ")

  "?h, dh?n't wy?rrye. ? ?nt?ndh t? dh? th?t "

  ("Oh, don't worry. I intend to do that ")

  She giggled a little at his response before heading to the kitchen. He then stood up and held out his hand to shake my hand while giving us his soft smile

  "N?k? t? m??t ye??, Dh?n? "

  ("Nice to meet you, Dani ")

  I then stared at his hand for a full second before shaking it

  "N?k? t? m??t ye??, sh?r "

  ("Nice to meet you, sir ")

  "H?h?, n? n??dh t? v? t?? f?rm?l wy?th m?. J?sht k?ll m? ?nkl? "

  ("Haha, no need to be too formal with me. Just call me uncle ")

  As I let his hand grip mine, I try to sense how strong his grip is while staring at his face

  Normal grip, not too hard, not too awkward, so he's an easygoing person. . . Natural smile, so he's friendly. . .

  . . . He's around 20, judging by his facial wrinkles, it's safe to say he's 29 years old, nearing 30. . . He's the type of person who will help others first before himself. . . Also-

  As I was profiling him in my thoughts, he then tilted his head and asked me softly

  "Sh?rrye ?ph ?'m v??ng r?dh?, v?t ?sh th?r? ?nye kh?nk? th?t ye??'r?. . . ?n?lyes?ng m?? "

  ("Sorry if I'm being rude, but is there any chance that you're. . . Analyzing me? ")

  "?h. . . Sh?rrye, ph?rc? ?ph h?v?t. ?m ? th?t ?vz???sh? "

  ("Ah. . . Sorry, force of habit. Am I that obvious? ") I said calmly

  "Wy?ll, ye?? dh?dh sht?r? ?t mye ph?k? ph?r ? v?t t?? l?ng "

  ("Well, you did stare at my face for a bit too long ")

  "Mye v?dh. H?p? ?t dh??shn't m?k? ye?? th?nk ?nyeth?ng v?dh ?ph m? "

  ("My bad. Hope it doesn't make you think anything bad of me ")

  "N?, n?, n?t ?t ?ll. ? sh??ldh ?kt??llye wy?nt t? th?nk ye?? ph?r h?lp?ng th?m v?ph?r? "

  ("No, no, not at all. I should actually want to thank you for helping them before ")

  "?h. . . ?t'sh n?th?ng, r??llye "

  ("Ah. . . It's nothing, really ")

  He then let go of my hand and raised his hand to Adam next

  "N?k? t? m??t ye?? ?sh wy?ll "

  ("Nice to meet you as well ")

  "Err. . . " He stared at his hand awkwardly

  "He wants to shake his hand with you, Adam "

  "A-Ah! Sorry, Sorry! " Adam said flusteredly before quickly shaking his hand

  "Oh? Are you from Eloimas? " He asked Adam

  "---! You knew?! Oh, thanks to the constellations! Yeah, yeah. Dani and I are actually from there "

  ". . . So you also know translation magic? " I asked him calmly

  "Yep, in fact, I'm the one who actually taught Henrik how to use it "

  "I see. . . You're a good teacher "

  "Haha, I didn't deserve that kind of praise. If anything, Henrik is a fast learner "

  I let the silence fill the surroundings for a moment, before Adam opened his mouth

  "Err. . . Can I ask you something? " Adam asked him

  "Sure. What is it? "

  "Err. . . I heard you bought a snack. . . Can I. .? "

  "Sure, I bought a lot of them. Go take some "

  "Yes! " He said, raising his fist to the air excitedly before rushing to the kitchen

  As we both saw Adam joined Henrik to eat the snack, we both could hear her mother giggling softly at such a scene

  "Huff. . . I'm sorry that he acts like that. He's crazy about food "

  "Haha, no worries. If I knew, I definitely would have bought more for you both "

  ". . . If I may ask, can we both talk privately? There's something I would like to ask "

  "Sure, lead the way "

  I then led him to the bedroom and let him enter first before I closed the door calmly

  "So, what is it that you want to talk with me about? " He said softly

  I didn't answer him right away, but instead walked closer to the laptop, opened the email, and turned the laptop to face him

  "I would like to ask if you're part of the protestors I heard so far " I said calmly

  His face didn't show any shocked reaction to my question, but his fingers did twitch a little

  "I'm sorry? I didn't-"

  "Please don't lie, uncle. Your fingers twitched, meaning you're nervous when I asked that. There's no reason for you to be nervous if that question doesn't hit any of your nerves"

  ". . . "

  "That email is steganography. It might not have given any hints to anyone about the code, but the typo and repetition of numbers kinda give it away "

  ". . . "

  "Also, I already figured out the message "

  "---! You do?? "

  "Yeah, it's a coordination, isn't it? "

  ". . . I beg you, please don't tell them about it. They'll be worried about me if you do " He said, clenching his fists and jaw

  ". . . Did you think I was trying to blackmail you? "

  "---? Isn't that what you're trying to do? "

  "Oh no, you misunderstood. I just want to confirm if you are one, sorry if I sound as if I tried to do so "

  As those words came out of my mouth, he let out a relieved breath before unclenching his fists

  ". . . You really didn't think of me as a criminal? "

  "No, because I saw you save those people from that burning apartment earlier "

  "You noticed? I thought I was already fast enough for anyone not noticing me. . . "

  "Also, I already finished profiling you earlier, and I'm convinced that you're a good person. So there must be reasons why you joined those protestors who had been labeled as criminals "

  ". . . I always saw those 'heroes' treat people harshly, sometimes killing them on the spot. . . But because of those governments, they walk freely afterwards. . . "

  ". . . "

  ". . . I. . . I just can't stand to see those people suffer. . . That's why I joined them "

  ". . . For someone who never experienced love from your own parents, you're surprisingly kind "

  "---! How did you-! "

  "I told you that I profiled you earlier, I didn't exaggerate it when I said so "

  ". . . Heh, you're terrifying, Dani " He said, smiling a little despite saying that

  As I keep staring at his face, a memory surfaces in my mind, as I have ever experienced a similar memory

  10 years ago

  As I walked beside Syed at the park, we saw a boy clutching his bleeding knee, likely from falling

  "WAAAA!!! MAMA!! " He whimpered

  Syed then approached the kid and healed his knee, while I just stood, didn't even bother to help

  "There, should be fine " He said softly

  "T-Thanks. . . " The boy said, his voice still cracked after crying earlier

  "You're welcome. Just be careful next time " He said, smiling brightly at the boy

  As I watched Syed helped the boy to stand up, my mind couldn't help itself and started to form a few thoughts

  Why did he help that kid anyway? Doesn't even give him anything good in the end

  He should have focused more on his family, isn't that much better?

  . . . Why? Why is he so kind towards strangers?

  As he walked back to me, I decided to ask him those questions I had

  "Hey, Syed "

  "Hmm? "

  ". . . Can I ask you something? "

  "Sure, what is it? "

  ". . . Why are you so kind? "

  "What did you mean? "

  ". . . There's no reason for you to heal that kid. . . So, why? "

  He then stared at my face for a moment, before shrugging his shoulders while smiling smugly

  "I don't know "

  ". . . Huh? "

  "I just help them because I want to. It makes me happy to see those innocent people happy "

  ". . . "

  "I want to see those who work hard get what they want, a happy family live happily, and so on "

  ". . . Syed, there's no way-"

  "I know, I know. I couldn't possibly help everyone, but if I can reach and help them, I will "

  ". . . Don't be too kind, Syed. Or it will be the reason for your doom "

  "Haha, you worried too much, Dani "

  ". . . For good reason "

  As I kept walking beside him, he then turned his head and smiled softly at me

  "Well, you did ask me to help people no matter what "

  "Huh? Since when? "

  "Man, you forgot already? "

  ". . . Maybe? I didn't remember asking that. Or it could be that you're just trolling me "

  "Haha. You need to figure that out yourself "

  ". . . Damn you "

  As I relive those memories, my lips twitched a little as I noticed the similarities between him and Syed

  Huff. . . Both are too kind

  . . . Past me wouldn't even care about this, or about the people here. . .

  . . . I wonder, what makes me want to do this. . .

  "You ok, Dani? " He asked softly, making me snap out of my thoughts

  ". . . Hmm, I'm fine. Sorry "

  "So, is that all the reason why you want to talk with me? "

  "No, I actually would like to ask if I could join you "

  "W-Wait, join me? As in-"

  "Yes, I want to join the protestors. And don't worry, I know once I join, I will be seen as a criminal "

  ". . . Why? You can live your life as a normal teenager "

  Normal life huh? How ironic for me

  "I have a personal issue with Frost Diamond. So, if I can see his downfall in front of my eyes will be good enough. . . Also. . . "

  "Also? "

  . . . Perhaps I also pity those people, that's why I want to do this. . . Perhaps

  "The government here is fake, and I don't like anything fake "

  He then stared at my face for a moment, before smiling softly

  "I see. You made up your mind, huh? Alright then, I'll allow you to join us "

  ". . . Thanks. So, if you don't mind me asking. What exactly are the protestors' motives? "

  ". . . Well, we want to investigate the increase in missing people, then try to change the heroes system and bring down the government "

  "I see. . . Then, how about my plan over there? " I said before pointing my thumb at the whiteboard

  He then got up and leaned his head a bit closer to the whiteboard, observing closely at each of my plans one by one

  "Huh. . . This. . . Is not a bad plan. But, I would prefer if we focus on the missing people first " He said softly

  Huh, so that's their priority. Lucky that I asked for his opinion first, or I would disturb their flow of plans

  ". . . Why so? "

  ". . . We suspect that they. . . Being experimented on "

  ". . . Into what? " I asked calmly

  ". . . Our intel said that they were being forcefully taken by the police and heroes before being turned into bioweapons and monsters. For what purpose, we're not sure "

  . . . Bioweapons, monsters. . .

  The heroes killed the monsters and became stronger. Bioweapons might be kept by the government somewhere

  Are they planning for a big-scale war?

  . . . Must be that, after all, greedy people always want more. They don't feel satisfied with ruling over one country, so they want more

  ". . . Ah, so that's how it is, you want to take down whatever facilities that experimented on those people. Kill those monsters and bioweapons "

  ". . . Yes, also, I want to save those who haven't been experimented on yet "

  ". . . I see. Then we'll take down the facilities first. Oh yeah, when does the meeting start? "

  "Perhaps tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll come here and invite you if it does. By the way, does your friend know about this? "

  "Hmm, he does. And he agrees to help. Something wrong? "

  "No, nothing. Just want to make sure your friend didn't see us wrong "

  ". . . I did say that doing this will mark you as a criminal. Surprisingly. . . He agrees without second thought "

  As soon as I said that, he immediately laughed softly at me, as I just exhaled my breath, already knowing what he was laughing at about

  "I know I know. He's a loyal idiot friend, I can't do anything about it "

  "Hahaha, that reminds me of my friends as well. Playful, weird, but loyal to the very end. You should treasure him more "

  ". . . Hmm, I know. That's why I told him about the consequences first. I don't want to force him into doing things he doesn't like for the name of 'friendship' "

  Just then, we both heard the door being knocked softly before we saw Henrik open the door

  ". . . Dh?dh ? ?nt?rr?pt sh?m?th?ng? "

  (". . . Did I interrupt something? ")

  "N?t ?t ?ll, H?nr?k. Wyh?t ?sh ?t? "

  ("Not at all, Henrik. What is it? ") Reggie said softly

  "Mye m?m sh??dh dh?nn?r'sh r??dhye. K?m? ??t ?ndh ??t "

  ("My mom said dinner's ready. Come out and eat ")

  "Sh?r?, g?z? ?sh ? m?n?t? "

  ("Sure, give us a minute ")

  Henrik then left us both in the room, before Reggie stood up and lightly slapped my arm

  "Come on, let's go eat first. We'll talk about this later "

  ". . . I just hope that Adam didn't eat all the food already "

  "Hahaha "

  The mansion was filled with chatter from the VIPs. Some of them were part of the government, some of them were part of the 'heroes'

  "Everyone, may I have your attention, please? " A man said calmly, making everyone there fall silent

  The man himself was wearing a brown suit, his right hand holding a glass of wine

  "First of all, I, as the president of this country, want to thank everyone here for making our project possible. For that, all of you deserve today's banquet " He said, smiling calmly at them

  The mansion then filled with claps, before he raised his index finger, making the surroundings fall into silence again

  "Now before we start, let me tell you, none of the meals here is vegetarian, obviously "

  The mansion then filled with a few laughs and chuckles from them as they heard his joke, before he raised his glass of wine

  "Please, enjoy yourself to the fullest "

  They then started to take a plate and fill it with various meals that had been prepared, while he watched them eat it with such gourmandize

  ". . . They should have screamed much louder. Perhaps it will make the meals much more tasty " He said calmly, sipping his wine
