‘Sial, whereas I chose this place because brother has an investment here, but who would have thought I would find trouble here?’ inner Zen sighed tiredly.

...| (❁❁) |...

"You ask what happened? Of course because these two dirty kids are dirtying our store! After all why would the security guards bring in beggars like them?! " Excited the female employee with annoyance.

'Ah, this affair will be a long time after its completion,' inner Zen tiredly.

"again, sir, do you know those two beggars, huh?" Ask the officer with a proud expression.

"The beggar...?" Leo muttered in annoyance.

Both of his hands are now clenched tightly indicating that he is holding back emotions.

"What's? You don't accept? Heh, is it possible that you want me to consider as the young master of a rich family? After all, where is there a young master who wears such dull clothes? Isn't the beggar's word suitable for a boy like you?" taunted the officer with a pesky expression.

"You! Dare to call me and my brother beggars! We were poor, but I never begged!" leo exclaimed in a high tone, feeling that his pride and his sister had been lowered.

"How dare you raise your tone to an older person! Looks like your parents didn't teach you well huh?" said the officer while pointing at Leo with a finger outstretched.

"It's none of your business about how my parents taught me. You better watch your attitude! How can an employee raise his tone even mocking shoppers who shop here," Leo replied as he stared intently at the employee.

"Well! A buyer? Is that you, little boy? Pftttt .. Don't make me laugh! How can a little kid like you buy expensive clothes here! If you want to steal I believe more than you buy here!"

"Stole what you said?! How dare you accuse me without proof!"

"Evidence? Do I need proof? Your mere existence here can already be proof if you want to commit theft!"

"I'm ... here not to steal!" rebut Leo loudly, even his fist was now tighter and even trembling lightly.

"Heh, where is there a thief who claims he stole?" the employee's taunts made Leo bite his lips to hold back the emotion.

"Again, even if you don't steal, how will you pay after buying clothes later? With leaves, eh?" said officer.

Leo who could not argue just lowered his head to the floor trying to hold back the tears that wanted to drip down.

'It turns out that humans can only judge the cover without any intention to open it and read it. It's really sickening! Should I hit that snob's mouth?' inner Leo with teary eyes.

Zen who saw the situation getting heated up, decided to intervene now. Walking closer to Leo who is still loyal bowed his head and stroked his hair slowly.

"Uh...?"

"Strengthen your body, lift your head, and look at your opponent. That's what you have to do when you're talking" Zen explained to Leo.

"But.... "

"If you don't stare at your opponent and bow your head like that, you will be underestimated and humbled by your opponent."

"Ck, sir, you're intruding! Are you the one who brought the two thieves into this shop?!" exciting officers.

"If so, what do you want to do?" asked Zen flatly.

"Huh! Of course, throw you and the two boys out! How could our shop be reserved for beggars like them?" said the officer with a small smile.

"Oh, really? Me and these two kids should go or should you go?" zen asked still faithfully patting Leo's head slowly.

"Well! You're so funny. Of course you guys are going why am I going? Ah, are you acting like the young master of a rich family?"

'The clothes he used were only black hoodies and the hoodie was also not a famous brand item, then there were no accessories that accentuated him from a wealthy family. Even his face was not handsome at all. Really shit my day for meeting a customer is upsetting today, ' the inner employee is upset.

Oh, your clerk is lucky enough that Zen can't listen to someone's mind. If he could hear your inner being he would definitely punch you in the face directly without caring if you were a female.

"Young rich family? You are wrong officer. I'm just an ordinary citizen with an ordinary economic life" Zen said with a bright smile.

"Huhhh, you're self-conscious too huh, sir? It's better that way than you have to lie just to act like a rich young master. After all, where is there a young master who has such an average face?" ridicule employees without realizing it.

Zen was stunned for a moment after hearing the words of the female official earlier.

'uh? What did he say? Average face? Oi! Although my face is not as handsome as my brother's face, but this belongs to the good looking class! Very brave of this woman.' Inner Zen continued the curse of containing harsh words in it.

"So you're not self-conscious, are you? You know when I saw you the first time I thought you were a stray clown in this store and not an employee" Zen replied, upsetting the female employee.

"Even I thought you weren't a clown but an artist who played the role of a ghost. Don't blame me if I say that. Blame your hairstyle that is almost similar to sadako and your powder color is too white, making you really look like a ghost."

"Pftt..," Leo laughed stifled while turning his face the other way.

"You! How dare you mock me!" shouted the officer in a loud voice.

"Miss employees, better miss pay attention to the tone of the lady, you have made other visitors disturbed you~" said Zen warned with a friendly smile.

"Ck! Where did the security guard go?! And again why aren't any employees expelling them?!" the officer shouted louder.

"Hey, miss clerk how did your screams get so loud? It almost deafened my ears" said Zen, closing both of Leo's ears.

Leo whose ears were closed even before the female employee yelled just stared at the two adults who were arguing in confusion.

'Why are my ears closed like this? And what are they talking about? I can't listen to their arguments at all. I wanted to make Zen's brother to take his hand off my ear, but unfortunately I didn't feel good to tell him, ' Leo's inner being.

"You-you"

"What's up here?" asked the middle-aged man who had just arrived at the scene.

"Chief manager, look at the young man and the little boy nearby. They've made a mess here, manager! You better kick them out of this place!" said the officer with passion.

'When he himself made a mess here, ' Zen's mind was staring flatly at the employee.

"Just kid! The one who made a fuss from the start was you!" Excited Lin who had just come with Eva's sister beside her.

"I'm fine sis, it's not fatal," Lin replied with a small smile then turned her gaze towards the clerk earlier and looked at him sharply.

"What's? why are you looking at me like that? Isn't it true that you were the first to riot?" ask the officer in a haughty tone.

Lin who heard him only displayed a thin smile with both eyes narrowed. Leo who saw Lin's smile just shuddered in horror.

'Smile ... that smile again!' inner Leo cried out in horror and immediately moved away from Lin to save his ears.

'I still want my two ears to function normally, ' Leo's mind.

"Sister officer .. It looks like you need a mirror?"

"uh? What's that for?"

"Of course to reflect! What do you think you're for?! You seem to have forgotten that all this mess happened because of you! If it wasn't for you pushing me first, this kind of chaos would never have happened!"

"And again actually you have no brain anyway? This clothing store is included in public facilities! So it is only natural that people come here, even if he is poor! Plus if we don't pay for the items we've bought and run away with the stolen goods, what are the guards employed by this store for?!"

"It looks like the big brother of the officer really doesn't have any brains huh?! Even though the big brother has a brain, surely the big brother's brain is a small brain!" lin shouted thunderously not even hesitating to point his finger at the female employee earlier.

'Ukhhh ..my ears.... How could a 7-year-old possibly scream this loud? Even to say those words earlier, was he really a 7-year-old?' inner Zen thought seriously with both of his hands tightly closing both of his ears.

'Huhuhuhu .. my ears, it looks like I should go to the ENT doctor, ' Leo inner with imaginary tears.

"Based on incompetent officers! How dare you treat customers like this! If I report to the police, you can get sanction for committing violence to a child! Should I report this to-"

"Have Lin not extended, haven't we come here just to buy clothes?" cut off Zen immediately in order to stop the spicy sentence that Lin was about to issue.

Blinking his eyes twice, then turning his body and looking at Zen with an innocent look.

"Ah, right I forgot that, sister's offer still applies isn't it?"

"Of course, you better go find a dress that suits you and your brother, let me solve this problem" Zen said with a smile.

"All right! Brother Leo let's go find our clothes!" exclaim Lin excitedly and pull up Leo's arm to go browse through the shop area.

"Lin, there's no need to pull my hand like this, I'll catch up with you from behind" Leo said.

'Huh, how could his emotions change that fast?' inner Zen then sighed tiredly.

"Hey! Who allowed you to let them explore the shop area?! What if their dirty hands touch the clothes here?!" The officers did not accept.

Zen who heard the words spoken by the clerk only looked at him coldly and sharply, then removed the hoodie he had been wearing since.

"Chief manager, you know not what you have to do?" asked Zen with a face full of smiles.

"If you don't do it, I'll let my brother hear that your store is providing unfriendly service to your investor's sister," zen said in a threatening tone and shook his smartphone featuring his brother's contacts.

The manager who heard Zen's remark instantly dropped a cold sweat.

'I can't let the investment in my shop be taken back! If that happens my shop will go bankrupt and it's hard to climb back up in this degree!' the manager's head in panic.

Although this clothing store is quite simple, it only has 3 floors with a total of 2 floors as a shopping center and the third floor is the workplace of staff and the head manager.

This clothing store is quite popular. And it was all nothing more because of Zen's older brother Fin who gave investment funds to this clothing store so that this store was quite famous among the top.

"Of course, I understand what you are saying, Mr. Westerlock, please sit on the prepared bench. I will take care of this matter and give this employee punishment" explained the Chief Manager who made the employee not accept.

"Uncle! What does uncle mean by giving me punishment?! Uncle should have kicked them out of here, instead of giving me punishment!"

The head manager who heard the protest from his nephew immediately silenced his nephew's mouth and made him bow as an apology.

"Hahahah, forgive my nephew's mouth, it is indeed very difficult to arrange it"

"Oh, so he's your niece?" zen asked while staring as if it was a funny thing.

"Right, sir, he's my nephew. I'm going to give him a penalty to get him suspended in a couple of weeks and make him pay the den"

"Punishment? It's a pity that I want him fired from his job. Unfortunately the head manager definitely did not want that, so I had to" Zen's speech was interrupted and continued by pressing a call on his smartphone.

"Wait on! If mister Westerlock wants that then I will fire him right now!" the head manager said in a panic.

"Uncle! How uncle bi-"

"Shut up, you got fired today! Guards please get him out of here!" shouted the head manager.

The security guard who was on standby around immediately brought the female officer who was still shouting no acceptance.

"Hahaha, sorry if the service in our store is not friendly. As an apology what if you buy clothes here for free?" haggle the manager's head with a flattering smile.

'I'd rather suffer a loss than lose an investor who supports me!' inner head manager.

"Hm? Free any? How much is that?" zen asked with interest.

"Of course whatever it is, master can take it without paying! Provided you keep this from Mr. Fin," said the head manager.

"Alright I will keep this a secret," Zen said with a happy smile.

'When do I get this chance?' inner Zen.

Such was the day Zen ended up telling Lin and Leo to take out the clothes of nearly one man five pairs which made the manager's head cry blood by seeing the losses that had been made.
