Einer stifled a laugh, he averted his face before looking back at Ben who seemed confused by his reaction. This kind of reaction would certainly make an arrogant person confused and ask; why don't you just bow your head instead of laughing? "Mr. Carter...," Einer called out. "Yes, sir?" "I'm quite impressed about your knowledge of coffee. Of course if you're a coffee enthusiast, you'll definitely know about coffee and its ins and outs in detail...especially if you're a respectable person working for Wood like this." Einer said, he made Ben pause and vaguely showed an uncomfortable look. But this was not the end, Einer still had one more sentence to say. "As a secretary, you are also versatile to the point of knowing the kitchen affairs well... like a butler." A faintly haughty smile appeared on Einer's face when he saw the response Ben gave out due to his words. Well, Einer could compensate for the ridicule Ben indirectly gave him with something similar. What do you think a big b
"Einer, stay in your bed.""Eleonor...."Eleonor rushed over to Einer, while Einer ran with trembling legs and fell down. Eleonor caught Einer in her arms, letting him burst into tears."Eleonor~ I must be dreaming. Eleonor, it's really you."Eleonor smiled fondly, hugging Einer tightly."It's me, Einer."Einer was so happy, tears of joy could not stop flowing down his face. After 15 years of separation, not knowing whether a part of him was still alive or not; Einer wandered like a lost child and continued to search for the whereabouts of Eleonor, half of him.Realizing the touching moment, Oliver decided to leave Einer and Eleonor. They only embraced for a few minutes, showing their incalculable longing.After that, Eleonor brought Einer back to his bed and tried to calm down until they could talk."I can't believe it," Einer said."It's me, Einer. Eleonor, half of you." "Yeah, I know... I know. I just still can't believe that I can finally see you again." Einer looked down deeply,
"The cake is alright, isn't it?" Chris knelt down before Einer who was still quiet. Einer held himself even though a little bit pissed off, because that cake was something he got after a very hard work."Even though it hit the floor, but I think it's still good to eat," said Anton, Chris' friend."You're right. The cleaners do they work so well to clean the floors, so this isn't a big deal," Sam agreed."Is that so? Should we prove it?" Chris swept his palm to the floor, then tried to smear it onto the cake.Einer absolutely didn't want his cake to encounter the dirty dust from the floor, so he slapped Chris' hand away and gave Chris a little shock. "Oh wow, look what this loser do." Chris hit Einer’s head, slapped his face to fell. “Do you just slap my hand? How dare you! Who do you think you are, huh?” Anton kicked Einer, stopping him to stood up. “A boy who came to this place with pity, how dare you touch Chris with your dirty hands!" "Chris, you need to wash your hands with so
"Amora, you!""I'm so fucking tired of you, Einer. You broke my mood this morning and you even still ruined my night when I tried to fix my life that you ruined before!" "I ruined your life?""Yeah! You're the reason I lost my glory days as Amora Hills, the pretty and popular one! You ruined that with becoming my worst of the worst boyfriend!" “Amora, what are you talking about? What did I do to ruin your day?" “Your existence! And the fact that you are my boyfriend! It's disgusting! I want to turn back time and never know you. Do you know? Even if this was all a joke, I still wouldn't want to date you in the first place!” Einer was at a loss for words because he couldn't believe that Amora could tell him all that. “You're dating me for a joke?” Einer asked. Amora didn't hesitate to answer, “Yes. You think I'd really fall in love with a guy like you? Haha, don't be silly, Einer.” Amora stood in front of Einer who was much taller than her. “Why should I fall in love with a lonely
"Stop thinking like a silly." Einer a little bit shocked when someone talked to him; making him turned his head to the sound and saw a woman sat on the couch, on the side of that large room."If the grim reaper had a pity to grant every dying human's last wish, he'd better be a fairy," said the woman with long-straight black hair, walking to Einer's bed."Who are you?" Einer asked, confused. "Garden Paradisia Perceus." Einer had never heard of that name, except for her last name. "PERCEUS?" "Yes. Are you surprised?" "Of course! Perceus... the famous conglomerate family of Sancer, your existence also dominates Sancer University! I've often heard your name coupled with luxury, something that contrasts with those who were far below you.""That makes sense," Garden said, seemed didn't care."So, why one of Perceus save me and bring me to this fancy place? Is this place where you guys lived?""Yeah, this is our house; Perceus' mansion, and this is your bedroom." "Oh, God ...," Einer
Oliver Perceus promised that he would explain anything Einer wanted to know; about Einer's awakening power, or how could Einer be his lost child and his relationship with Einer's mother.But it all was only if Einer had already recovered. While Einer needed to recover his body after that night, he was served like a young master in Perceus mansion.Einer might need to be used to all treatments, as he always woke up with the soft voice of the butler, and saw some maids come in to help Einer with all he needed on his morning."What breakfast do you want for this morning, Sir Einer?" asked Robert, the butler. Einer was just done taking a bath and preparing to go to the campus."Breakfast? Can't I have breakfast from yesterday's menu?" "Of course you can, Sir Einer. You can even have caviar for breakfast every day if you want. I only asked because I thought you would be bored and want a new menu for breakfast." Einer felt a little awkward. A luxury food like caviar was something he could
"F*ck," Anton said, standing up straight with his eyes glaring at Einer. "Where did you buy that nerve that doesn't suit you, huh?" "I can't take it anymore," said Chris, lunging from behind Anton to attack Einer. "I'm sick of seeing this loser keep act so arrogant!" Chris tried to hit Einer who kept avoiding him. The man's anger had Einer backed into a corner, but Einer tried to keep his cool even though he kept moving backwards and almost got several female students hit by Chris' anger that aimed only at him. "Stop dodging, coward! Face me with those shiny shoes of yours!" said Chris. Einer laughed at him. "You look like a desperate little boy." "F*ck! Shut up!" Chris managed to hit Einer when he no longer had anywhere to run. Einer crashed into the wall and Chris was in front of him, squeezing him tightly and pressing his neck with his arms. "Urgh!" "Who's the little boy here, huh? Me or you?" asked Chris, his intimidating aura making Einer's eyes a little tremble. "You thin
Einer couldn't drive the car because his head was still a little dizzy, so Garden took his place. During the way home, Garden was so silent that it made Einer think; people who didn't know would think Garden couldn't speak. Einer didn't know how to break this awkward silence, until he saw the small plaster on Garden's forehead. "Lady Garden, I apologize for the wound on your head from that day." Einer had almost forgotten the day he made blood flow down Garden's forehead. Einer thought Garden wouldn't answer, but the woman said, "It doesn't matter, you were just trying to survive." "But aren't you angry?" "I'm used to this kind of thing, and I've had plenty of chances to get it back at you, so don't be shy." Einer swallowed awkwardly, not thinking he would receive such a cold reply but he smiled. "Alright, I'll try to be strong enough to receive your revenge... Garden." Garden glanced at Einer coldly at the man calling her name. "You said not to be shy," if Garden took issue
Of course Ben would feel humiliated, but he had to try to keep his cool. And his attempt to look calm after something scratched his pride was very pleasing to Einer's eyes, until clearly the man's two cold eyes were laughing at the other person. "Ah... do I look like a butler, sir?" asked Ben then, seemingly trying to break the ice that had become tense due to his own actions. Einer smiled slightly. "No, really...," he replied in a hanging tone, "but because of what you said earlier, I'm reminded of the butler at Chelsea's house-he used to tell me about things in detail-even to the point of mentioning how many numbers are in the price of an item." Ben fell silent again. Einer didn't know what the man was thinking, but he knew that Ben was trying to keep himself calm because of his bold words. Einer admitted, he was indeed a poor man. He lived and lived as he pleased; haphazardly. No schooling, no manners; but to him, that was no reason to let his pride be nudged even a l
Einer frowned slightly, he had never heard of Amora having a friend named Chelsea. "Don't you have a boyfriend?" asked Einer coldly as if it was the sharp edge of a knife. "Ah... Chris is hang out with his friends, and there's no one I can ask for help immediately besides you. You're the only one with a car here." Einer noticed that the parking lot was empty, leaving only his luxury car. "I didn't bring a car because I usually go with Chris, so please... I would be very grateful to you." Einer did not think of helping Amora; he was still very angry for what Amora had done to him. But Einer had another idea. What if Chris found out that the girlfriend he took away from Einer was now coming back to Einer? It would be fun to pit them against each other. Their little fight wouldn't be worth with what Einer had to gain. So Einer unlocked the car and let Amora in. Amora seemed very happy, fastening the seatbelt with vigor. As Amora's request, Einer drove the woman to the address she
Einer was silent, not understanding. "Ah, sorry. I'm so happy that I confused you," Oliver said. "In short, you have the power to mimic other people's powers, Einer. Your power can recognize, absorb and learn the powers of other awakener, just like you did that night." "That night?" "The night when the man named Chris beat you up and you injured him with your power. Do you remember how you did it? You copied Garden's powers."Oliver's explanation sounded fast, the man was excited. But it made Einer even more confused. That night Einer did use a power called telekinesis, he had thought it was a miracle and finally he knew that it was the power of awakening that he had. But now Oliver was saying that telekinesis was not Einer's power? "The power of mimicry, it's a very rare power and has enormous potential. You could be the most powerful awakener, Einer! Your power is extraordinary!" "Will I be able to mimic a power I've never seen before?" asked Einer, making Oliver listen to hi
*** Garden brought Einer home and he was greeted by Robert who was shocked at Einer's appearance. "My goodness, Sir Einer, what happened?" "Calm down, Robert. I didn't crash the car into the garden pond to make me look like this. It's just that there were people who wanted to get acquainted with me earlier." "Were they awakens?" "Yes. One of them is named Arthur Grey." Robert gave the same reaction as Garden. He paused as he was about to take Einer to his room. "Grey? Really?" "Why? You give same reaction as Garden. Who exactly is Arthur Grey?" Robert followed Einer to his room, behind him were several maids ready to assist Einer. "Sir Einer, the Grey family is the biggest rival of the Perceus family." "Oh really? Rivals...?" "Yes. Do you think only the Perceus family has awakens?" "I thought so. I was also quite surprised when they introduced themselves as awakens. I thought awakens lived a very secretive life and hid their abilities from the ge
Einer couldn't drive the car because his head was still a little dizzy, so Garden took his place. During the way home, Garden was so silent that it made Einer think; people who didn't know would think Garden couldn't speak. Einer didn't know how to break this awkward silence, until he saw the small plaster on Garden's forehead. "Lady Garden, I apologize for the wound on your head from that day."

Garden glanced at Einer coldly at the man calling her name. "You said not to be shy," if Garden took issue
"I hate you so much," Chris replied, "I don't like losers who can't even protect themselves." "Now I can protect myself, so stop this 'The Storng and The Loser' game because I still want to live in peace." "Do you think you can still live in peace after I ruined your life? Amora Hills, isn't that woman very precious to you?" Einer looked at Chris who was again trying to bring him down. "I took her from you, Einer. The woman you love is mine." Einer looked at Amora who was still in place, also looking at Einer with a hint of guilt in her cold eyes. "Forget it, just take her." Einer's words took Chris by surprise, and so did Amora. "I don't want to deal with a woman who dated me to making fun of me, and a woman who doesn't even consider me human so she just stood by while I was almost beaten to death." Amora looked dumbfounded by Einer's sharp words. "Anyway, women like her are not more important than my life right now. I can get 100 women like her if I want because I'm telling yo
Einer could see the bad things that would happen to him just by looking at Chris's fist. Every step made him shiver, his body remembering what had happened every time he and Chris interacted. But a second later Einer realized if he no longer had a reason to be afraid, he shouldn't hang his head like a loser. Remember what Oliver said; Einer should be proud, he was a Perceus. "You're done, you damn loser!" With his fear gone, Einer could easily dodge Chris' punch. He stepped aside and made Chris seemed like a joke. Everyone was watching them and Chris, who was holding back his embarrassment, looked at Einer sharply. "What are you doing, loser...?" "Avoiding you. Did you think I'd stay still when you threw your hands at me?" Einer replied, didn't look afraid. But that calm answer made Chris' eyes bulge with anger. "What did you say? How dare you say that?" Chris tried to hit Einer again, but this time Einer was able to hold him back. "It turns out that we're just as strong, but
Following Oscar's words that night, Einer came to this place. Einer didn't know why Amelia would choose a place like this just to talk about the contract with him, this place he entered even looked more like a hotel than a cafe. Or indeed a hotel. Einer wanted to feel a little relieved, the info Oscar gave him was right. Amelia Grey, Addenhill's leading doctor who became one of the geniuses in the field of San Luximus medicine. She was really a rich person to be able to rent a place like this. Moreover, she served as the interim leader of the Wood family business which was famous as Addenhill's upper nobility. It still felt like a dream that Einer could come to a luxurious palace-like place like this. Upon arrival, Einer was immediately greeted by two men in black suits, complete with ties and simple communication devices attached to their ears. They looked like secret agents, and as he walked with them on his right and left sides, Einer felt more like a suspect in a drug sm
"Protecting?" "Yes, protecting. Because you know Wood is not a noble family that was just born one year ago. During that time they were victorious, during that time the enemy nurtured themselves and multiplied rapidly. I am protecting that child, so that no one hurts the sole heir of the Wood." Einer was not very expressive in his response. He was silent for a moment, then looked away. "It makes sense," he said, still pausing, "but how long will you continue to hide the girl who has even entered adulthood?" Einer asked then. His eyes were piercing, as if he was attacking the other person with his words. Amelia smiled, feeling more and more interested in the conversation between her and Einer - and Einer himself. "Oh Einer, I like you. You can read situations so well, and like I said; I'd love to have someone like you around." Einer did not respond to the compliment Amelia had given him. The man was still calm, waiting for the continuation of the old woman's words before him.
