"You don't look like you're heartbroken, Aslan, can't you just look a little sad?" Sam asked, and it was a question that Aslan found very strange. Aslan was still able to do his usual activities even though he was very sad.

Maybe it's because he's used to holding back his emotions, so he doesn't know what to do when he's sad, other than just being normal.

Living in an orphanage, Aslan inevitably had to hold back his emotions since childhood. He couldn't look sick even if he actually had a fever, he couldn't refuse any food, he just had to accept anything without complaining.

"You're also acting casual even though you committed a crime last night, you should feel a little guilty." Aslan retorted.

Sam snorted in annoyance, "I can't possibly feel guilty after teaching those bastards a lesson, they deserve it, Aslan. Well, I'm just glad you don't look heartbroken, that's better. As a man, don't show that you're easily broken only by women, if you show the slightest bit of weakness, they'l

But the system didn't let Aslan idle for a bit. And Aslan was also heartbroken. At this rate, how would he have time to feel sad?[Masters don't have time to be sad]"I knew it," Aslan muttered in exasperation, but he finally stood up to go to the place the system was referring to."Oh, Hi Aslan!"

    "Where did you get all these pearls?"Christopher's question made Safira nervous, she didn't know what to say. After all, Aslan had told her not to say anything strange, so Safira chose to remain silent and smiled sweetly.A few minutes ago, Safira, who had just arrived with her mother, was suddenly called by Aslan. At first Safira was surprised because Aslan brought her together with a super handsome adult man who smelled of money. Safira thought Aslan was going to sell her to him, because he was tired of taking care of her, but it turned out he wanted to see her pearls.The pearls Safira had collected from crying were so many, she put them in a cloth bag, and if you weighed them, they would probably weigh about a kilo.Christopher was very surprised and amazed to see all the pearls.

    "I've missed your cooking so much!" Hendry said, smiling broadly as Aslan served him food too. Hendry was the assistant who helped him, but Aslan was the one who cooked and served him the food."Oh yeah? Even though my cooking is only eggplant?" said Aslan.At that time he only cooked eggplant chili sauce, deliberately not too spicy so that his stomach wouldn't hurt."I see the seasoning is simple, but why is it this good? Spill the recipe and open a restaurant.""I used to want to open a restaurant or a small cafe, but after I thought about it, it would be very difficult. I still haven't taken my exams yet back then, but maybe now I can do it." Aslan replied, he had already picked up his rice and was ready to eat, he was very hungry."We can discuss that later, now, what happened in Saranja?" asked Hendry, he had been patiently waiting for Aslan to cook just to find out what happened."There's an important matter, which is that Marlo owns a building that should have belonged to my fa

    "That's not the Ashley I know, is it?" muttered Aslan quietly, but all of his friends could hear him, including Jaden."I think you know her, she's your cousin," Jaden said."She's dangerous! Why are you dating him?" asked Aslan, unable to understand his friend. Just met for a while, don't really know each other, but already dating. Aslan thought it was far worse than Kyle or Mike who were playboys, at least, they knew their targets first, then dated."Well what else can I do, this is the first time a beautiful girl wants to date me, I don't want to be single forever." Jaden said."If I were in Jaden's position, I would definitely accept it" said Kevin."Liar!

Aslan replied.Then Sarah sat on the fur rug next to Aslan, watching what her son had brought."Aren't you carrying too little? You need a thick blanket or a thick jacket, it gets cold at night." Sarah said."Is that so? I'll just bring a thick jacket then."Aslan stood up, went to the closet and looked for a thick jacket. The only thick jacket Aslan had was a light blue jacket from Debby. Debby didn't often buy him clothes, only occasionally, but why did the jacket he needed come from Debby."What happen, Aslan?" Sarah asked.Aslan shook his head slowly, then picked up the jacket and placed it in the large backpack he would be taking camping."Nothing.""I heard you broke up with Debby, what's the matter?"

    "These are all the documents you want, it's not easy to get them because there are many and they're heavy, if I'm not good at hiding it, I could get caught." Irene said, hugging Aslan's arm.Irene wasn't lying, she got the original documents of the gold that Aslan had stored in the system account.Aslan didn't know if Irene was helping him because she really liked Aslan, or because of something else."Did you really get all this because you like me or because of something else?" Aslan asked bluntly.Irene frowned at that, then she replied, "I did it because I really like you, what else? I even took a big risk just to get it.""I'm sorry, I can't help but suspect people.""You're really bad, you asked me to steal all those documents, after I got all the documents, you suspect me?"Irene released her hug on Aslan's arm, then folded her hands under her chest, showing her annoyed face.If that was the case, Aslan knew he had to persuade Irene not to get cranky.

    Aslan stretched his stiff muscles after two hours of just sitting in the car and daydreaming while staring out the window. Aslan was the type who couldn't fall asleep during a trip, even though he was actually very sleepy.Since he'd slept so late last night, he'd started sleeping around two in the evening. Aslan thought about what he'd done with Irene, and felt foolish that he'd fallen under her spell again. In the past, whoever flirted with him, even if she was as beautiful as Nadine, Aslan wasn't tempted. But why with Irene...Aslan didn't know, nor did he want to think about it.'Do I like Irene, or is it just lust?' was all he could think in his mind.Aslan got out of the mini van that was taking him and his friends to the town of Asra.Asra was a small town on the outskirts of Batavia. Despite its proximity to a large and crowded city, Asra was a cool city, famous for the mountains that surrounded the city, the clear rivers and the vast rice fields. Asra does not have a beach ar

    Obviously seeing his friend kissing in front of him never crossed Aslan's mind, but it wasn't just Jaden and Ashley, there were two other couples making out there. Maybe it was because the place was famous for fireflies that would come around five in the afternoon and would only leave around ten at night."Don't look!" Aslan immediately covered Aileen's eyes with the palm of his right hand as Aileen glared at her friend kissing in front of her."Come on, I want to see them!" Aileen tried to open Aslan's hand that was covering hers."It's not good for you!" said Aslan."But I want to see, I've never kissed like that, I'm curious!"Aslan giggled because Aileen was adorable when she was sulking to see. So, Aslan pulled the girl's body around to look at him."Just look at me, don't look at them, or we'll go somewhere else that-"Aslan didn't continue when Aileen suddenly threw her arms around his neck."Fine, I'll just look at you."Staring at Aileen's beautiful face that close made Aslan

Dave asked."Listen, do you want to make new friends?" Dave frowned, "I don't want to.""Oh, come on Dave!""I'm tired of two friends like Sion and Anton, especially Sion. And you want to give me another friend? That's absurd!"Aslan chuckled lazily, Dave was an introvert, his energy could be drained around an extrovert like Sion.Aslan didn't know what type of person Arga was, but Aslan wanted to bring Dave closer to Arga. If this is the case, maybe Aslan should approach Arga first.It's impossible to keep a secret forever, surely it will be revealed later if Arga is indeed the son of Lydia who was exchanged.

    Sam found it strange that Aslan was suddenly silent while staring at his body, after realizing what Aslan was looking at, he asked."Do you feel sorry for me after seeing my body covered in scars like this? I don't like being pitied." Sam asked.Aslan shook his head, then he handed Sam something. It was a silver bathbomb, which was not much different from the gold one, except that if the gold bathbomb could brighten dull skin, the silver bathbomb could remove scars or even out skin tone. The silver one was slightly cheaper than the gold one, costing 400 silver coins."What is this? Soap?" Sam asked confused."You're so pretty, you're an idol, and I guess you don't like all those scars yourself, do you? So take a shower and then soak in that bathbomb. It's free." Aslan said.Sam was still staring at it with a confused look on his face."What do my wounds have to do with this bathbomb?" Sam asked, he really didn't understand what Aslan meant, but he had a point. Sam hated his body for b

Rama who was divulging Sam's secret was immediately smothered by Sam."Hahaha, don't listen to Rama! Aslan, thank goodness you're okay, I was also scolded by my manager the night of your accident." Sam let go of Rama and walked over to Aslan, checking him from top to bottom and there was nothing wrong with him."That's because you ate a lot of seafood, you didn't say anything about preparing the album, I'm fine." Aslan said, then he invited the others to enter."Are you two the only ones here?" Aslan asked, once they were inside the house.Rama and Ben couldn't stop marveling at the ho

    Not far from the orphanage there is a small forest, actually it is just a vacant lot that was left abandoned. There were some big trees, bushes and various plants. Behind the small forest was a river, the same river as the one behind the orphanage.The small forest was a hiding place for the orphanage children during the day, as well as a place where the boys liked to play. For example, climbing trees, bathing in the very clear river, and so on. Because girls were very afraid to go to the forest.So Aslan also liked to go there, usually Aslan would climb the biggest tree, then read a book there, or watch other children playing.Of course, Aslan and Ben often played there with the others, sometimes just the two of them.Aslan didn't understand why Ben asked him to go to that place, but after he got there, Aslan became nostalgic for his past.It was so much fun back then.The tree that Aslan used to climb so often, now it doesn't look as big as he thought it was, maybe Aslan grew up so

    "It's so spicy." Lucas snatched the complimentary glass of lemon water provided at their table after taking two bites of the black lava burger.Aslan glanced at Lucas and chuckled, pleased with Lucas' spicy reaction."I thought with that face you were supposed to be resistant to anything spicy," Aslan said.Lucas gave Aslan an annoyed look as he managed to gulp down the entire glass, "since when do faces and spice resistance have anything to do with each other?"Aslan squared his shoulders, "well, usually there is a connection, like Marlo for example, how does a face like that fit if he can't stand spicy?"Lucas chuckled, "So you think my face is Marlo's type?"Aslan laughed with satisfaction at Lucas' annoyance."Turns out I'm just as scary as Marlo, huh?" Lucas asked.Aslan nodded happily, "yes!"Lucas ruffled Aslan's hair again, "You little..."Aslan, who didn't care if his hair was messed up, went back to eating his burger.

Because who else could own a large, luxurious mansion in an elite neighborhood when they were just starting out business? Lucas thought only Aslan could do that, and their father, Jeffrey Kendrik.Perhaps only Lucas could feel that way. Little Lucas also remembers his father, and he's heard many things about him from Hendry's father.Jeffrey Kendrik, or Jeff was the middle child in the family, his older sister Regina hated him for no reason.
