"So, thank you for your advice. By the way what's your name?” say and ask Ken after a moment of silence with a faint smile on his face.

“Thank you again sir, and my name is Zen, Zen Westerlock.”

...| (❁❁) |...

Ken turned the chair he was sitting on facing straight out the window and stared at the scene outside the window with a bored expression.

Not long after the door was knocked and opened featuring a 53-year-old middle-aged man carrying a cup of coffee in his hand.

His expression showed a friendly smile that perhaps when seen by others would make them tremble in fear.

“Young master, please get your coffee,” said Jin gave the coffee in his hand and stood next to Ken.

“Thank you, and can you stop calling me young master? I have become the head of the family now,” said Ken somehow who has been to how many times.

Jin who heard the complaint from the young master he cared for only chuckled softly before replying in a respectful tone.

“I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request on this one. I'm used to calling you young master.”

“Huhh, never mind,” Ken replied and started drinking the coffee plan given to him.

“So, what do you mean tell me to come here Jin? Is it related to the young man?” ask Ken directly at the point.

Yeah, how could a Ken Aenass, the chairman of the company from Aenass Company come to this kind of insignificant branch cafe just to fire an incompetent head manager?

Hey, he's that important guy know? He's got a lot of company branches to look after. Even if he left for 1 hour only the papers in his office would pile up as high as 1 meter.

“That's right young master, don't you want to make a cooperation contract with Fin Westerlock? You can make her sister give her contacts and a little persuaded her to want to sign a cooperation contract with our company,” explained Jin still faithful with his friendly smile.

“Ahh, like that. But it seems like it should fail right?” ken recalled his conversation with Zen.

“That's right, it seems I'm too confident with the rumors circulating so don't think if the reality will be very contradictory,” Jin replied.

“Oh? What makes you interested in Jin? I saw you watching him for a few seconds.”

“Ahh, about that. I was only interested in the smell of blood released by the boy,” Jin explained.

“Bau blood? Do you think he ever killed anyone?” ask Ken in confusion.

“I don't know, but for sure it's not just someone,” Jin said with a friendly smile.

“Hooh? This is getting interesting,” said Ken while smiling thinly.

“She also told me about business,” continued Ken and began to drink back his coffee leaving half of the cup.

“Business young master?” ask Jin.

“Yah, business. He said if the food business is very profitable for master. Not to say the master food business is very profitable for the master,” explained Ken.

“You know Jin? The words I spoke attracted me a little. Should I try my luck?” ask Ken.

“It is up to his young master, this butler will only do whatever his young master commands,” Jin explained.

Ken who heard him chuckled softly and shook his coffee cup slowly in his hand.

“Then the acquisition of food business in three nearby cities from here including this city as well, the acquisition of 50% only. I will try my luck this time,” said Ken.

“again there is no harm in not interfering in the food business?” continued Ken while chuckling small.

“Alright, follow the words of his young master,” Jin said as he bowed respectfully.

“Ah and also please tell my brother to find information about Zen Westerlock, I think pulling him into an ally will not make me lose,” said Ken.

“From my brother it's less work, it's better to tell him to do something instead?” continued Ken with a smile on his face.

Well, it looks like Ken is still grudging with his brother because it has disrupted (disrupted) his business empire.

Jin who saw the grin on his young master's face only chuckled softly.

“Good young master will I do,” he said and walked away.

‘It looks like the two young masters will never be able to get along well huh~’ Inner Jin recalls the behavior of the two twin brothers who had been cared for by him since childhood.

...----------------...

Zen walked out with an occasional light humming as he hugged the brown envelope containing his payday and did not forget the wide smile on his face.

‘What should I buy with this money? Or should I look for a dagger for me to use? But where should I look for him? Will anyone sell it?’ inner Zen was confused while wondering what to buy using the money.

The daydream had to fall apart as Eva shouted to call out to him as she walked closer to him.

“Zen!” exclaimed Eva who ran to him from the direction of the kitchen cafe.

”Kak Eva? What's up, sister?” zen asked tilting his head in confusion.

“Ah, have you got your payday?” eva asked worriedly, timidly Zen did not get it.

“Ah, about that. I got it, brother! Don't worry,” said Zen with a bright smile

.

“Huft, thank goodness then,” Eva said with a relieved smile.

“Oh yes, are you still fired Zen?” ask Eva carefully.

“If it is, I am indeed fired sis,” Zen said as he scratched his cheek awkwardly.

“Ah, so yes,” exclaims Eva in a weak voice.

“Can't you beg mister Aenass not to fire you?” ask Eva.

Zen who heard it only shook his head briefly.

“Kak, it's also my fault for being late for work, so I can't beg to keep working here. I became unkind to that kind-hearted master,” Zen explained.

‘I don't want to bother to work anymore, sorry sister Eva, I prefer to lay myself on the bed for the next five days before starting the day where I can't sleep more than 4 hours,’ inner Zen while rejecting the ideas that are in his mind.

‘I just need to create a nice ending for my sister and won't be too far away to interfere with the groove. After all, there is this brother of mine who will take care of everything. At least I just need to direct my brother towards the good ending to the arc where he fought the level 7 zombies then after that I will sleep in the luxurious house that my brother provided and laze around,’ Inner Zen once again confirmed his determination.

While Eva who heard Zen speech can only look and stare at Zen with a gaze that can be said to be complicated?

“Haahhh, you are too good Zen,” said Eva sighed directly.

“Ya??” zen wondered.

‘Anything is good? Maybe if the one in question is good for myself of course it's true,’ the inner Zen and stare at the confused Kak Eva.

“Have forgotten my words,” said Eva while shaking her hand.

“If you are having trouble, you can tell me okay? I will try my best to help you,” Eva said gently patting Zen's shoulder and smiling faintly.

Zen who heard him smiled faintly and said.

“Thank you for helping me all this time, Eva. If I can, I'll help you next time.”

Eva who heard it could only laugh softly.

“I'm a little looking forward to it,” Eva said after stopping laughing.

Zen who heard Eva's laughter felt a little worried.

After a while he finally solidified his decision to tell Sister Eva, even if it was just a random sentence to be careful.

“Kak Eva, please carefully dated XX this month, if necessary Sister Eva brought a small weapon to protect herself, somehow my feelings are not good,” said Zen by whispering softly so as not to be heard by others.

Eva, who wanted to say that it was just her feelings, had to swallow her sentence again when she saw Zen speaking seriously with a little worry in her eyes.

Not wanting to make the young man before him who was already considered his younger brother worry that he could only gently pat his shoulder and say,

“Alright, I'll be careful later. No need to worry about me, Zen.”

“Thank you sis for noticing my unreasonable suggestion earlier,” Zen said, sighing in relief.

‘Yahh, at least he would like to heed my advice. But sorry Sister Eva I can't bring you in for my plans, it will only make me have to think about your safety as well. It's enough my brother, Leo and Lin alone that I have to take care of, Zen's inner’ ignores his unpleasant feelings.

‘Toh, I'm not here to be a hero!’ inner Zen confirmed once again.

“Because our conversation is over, I'm going home to my apartment. See you next time Eva!” zen said as he waved his hand.

“Hmm, see you also Zen,” Eva said.

Upon hearing Eva's reply, Zen turned around and rushed off to go back on a date with his beloved bed.

...----------------...

“Huftt .. tiring day,” murmured Zen who was already lying on his beloved mattress.

“It's almost afternoon, wow Zen you spent 5 hours outside,” murmured Zen while clicking his tongue irritated.

“But it's okay, at least you still have time to roll around here about 1 to 2 hours,” said Zen then covered his body with a blanket to cover his face.

Sunlight begins to change color to orange. The alarm clock on the table shows at 17:16 which shows if the day has become afternoon even graze a little into the night.

The young man with black hair still faithfully rolled to and fro on his beloved mattress before being forced to open his eyes because of the sound of his stomach that sounded.

With a conscious and unconscious state, Zen slowly sat on his bed and held onto his stomach which had just sounded.

“I forgot if I only ate tteokbokki and sandwiches made by my sister, I haven't eaten any food after that,” said Zen and forced his feet to get off his warm mattress and go to the bathroom to go rinse his face to make him more aware.

‘What should I eat this time?’ inner Zen wondered as he walked towards his small kitchen.

‘After eating I will go roll over again to my beloved mattress later and practice a short night using my kitchen knife for 1 to 2 hours,’ Inner Zen decided on his activity plan in no time.

Unfortunately the activity plan that has been in the arrangement must be canceled when he saw the contents of his refrigerator is empty and only leaves 1 box of vanilla milk in the refrigerator.

‘Why is my refrigerator empty like this? Didn't you just make a sandwich this morning?’ inner Zen wondered.

Because of the hunger he felt could not be held anymore he finally forced to drink the vanilla flavored milk box and move his legs to go to the convenience store near his apartment.

‘Sial, my sleep time .. pity my mattress that I have to stay away alone,’ Inner Zen thought of his sleep time being depleted.

“Yes, after all, you only have to go to the minimarket deket apartment, right? There should be no problem,” muttered Zen who seemed to have to be swallowed again by him after dealing with the strange situation before him.

Well, at first it was fine when Zen entered the minimarket but blamed his unlucky fate that had to collide with the woman in front of him. Causing the woman to scream and nag at length now.

‘Actually why can he be here anyway?’ inner Zen then sighed tiredly.

“Hei! Are you listening to me or not?! Basic male idiot!” maki the woman in front of him, ah you should call him Joy, Joy Katrechice.

“Huh! It seems like I was unlucky for being able to meet such an ugly man like you!” continue Joy and start her mock show for the umpteenth time.

‘It should be me who says like that, you damn fate,’ inner Zen and just listen to the mockery that Joy took out lazily, aka enter the right ear out the left ear.

“Basic stupid man, did you not listen to me huh?!” joy shouted that could make people's eardrums become broken.

“I heard you fucking,” Zen said as he tried to save his eardrum that was about to break.

“A-what? What did you say?! Damn woman you said? How dare you curse me!” exclaim Joy with a crossroad on her forehead.

“Hah, even if you try to use this way to make me interested but sorry, I will not be interested,” he said with a sneering tone.

“Whatever anyone wants with you! You know because of your love letter I became the laughingstock of one school!” he continued with a look of disgust on his face.

‘Who is also a man who would love with such an ugly face,’ Zen's inner gaze looked at Joy's face that was like a clown.

‘Face of Kak Eva is better 1000 times than the full face of your makeup,’ inner Zen sneered internally.

Well, let's be clear again. The ugly woman with powder all over her face who now stands in front of Zen is Joy Katrechice, the prima donna of my school.

‘Actually what did they see from her that made her a prima donna???’ inner Zen wondered.

Not only was her face covered with thick make up, she also had no advantage at all other than her almost large chest. It seems that's the only advantage. His intelligence alone cannot be compared to the dumbest kid in my class.

‘Even I would believe one hundred percent if he entered the school through the insider path,’ Inner Zen stared flatly.

A love letter, it's not from me at all. At that time he was told (forced) by an older brother who was a thug at school to give a love letter to Joy.

Of course I who have been used to being a bully victim can only obey his words and give the love letter.

Who would have thought if Joy instead read it out loud in front of the class and unfortunately again in the letter there is no author name that makes him think if I am the one who wrote it.

‘Make me upset if you remember it, because of that incident I was beaten all-out by the upperclassman and made a laughingstock of one school,’ inner Zen growled annoyed.

“Hoi, ugly man like you didn't listen to me huh?!” joy said then slapped Zen's face tightly.

Zen who had been daydreaming woke up because of the pain in his cheek.

‘Damn it! How long have I not been beaten like this?’ inner Zen growled in annoyance.

After I was trained all-out by the coach that brother ordered for 2 whole years, no one else dared to underestimate me.

At most it only underestimated me for not having any supernatural power.

Of course the people who call me will invite me to duel with the end of those who always lose and I who always win.

At least my abilities are almost at the level of a third level supernatural person. Because the victory I always get makes people afraid and do not dare to provoke me anymore.

But just now I was hit by the woman who had already made me into the laughingstock of the entire school?! I'm sorry I can't.

No matter if she is a girl. I told you, didn't I? I'm not a hero!

Joy who got no reply from the foolish man who embarrassed her felt annoyed and raised her hand again to slap her. Just before his hand landed on his cheek his hand was stopped with Zen's hand grip.

Joy who saw him was surprised for a moment before starting to open her mouth and put an ugly man in front of her even worse.

“You! How dare you stop me! Let go of my hand you stupid, ugly, idi-“ guy Joy had to cut off when Zen tightened his grip and broke Joy's hand.

“AHHHHHHHHHH!” shrill cries sounded accompanied by pleas for mercy to be released.

“Hiks ... release .. please, this hurts, it hurts so much...” Said Joy with tears that had dripped making the thick makeup on her face fade and make it look even more terrible.

Zen, who had been satisfied to break Joy's arm, now threw her violently which made Joy stagger back and fall.

Zen looked at Joy who fell expressionlessly at all making Joy shudder in fear upon seeing her eyes.

“Don't look for trouble with me, if you don't listen to the words I say, I won't hesitate to break all your bones into two pieces,” said Zen coldly then left Joy who was still shaking in fear behind him.
