Alex stood face to face with Bilson in the room.

Bilson seemed to think hard at Alex's stupidity and then sighed and opened his voice, "Sit down. I want to tell you something confidential."

Alex nodded and sat opposite Bilson.

Bilson was confused where to start, after sorting through his thoughts for a while he said, "In this world, there are some people who have special abilities. They are often called 'talent owners'."

Looking at Alex's shocked eyes, he continued, "It seems like you've never met another talent owner other than yourself?"

"Well.. I don't know about this, I also just got this power." Alex answered Bilson's question honestly.

"Hmm so. Indeed, some new talent owners are aware of the abilities they have until they grow up, for example like you. Some know their abilities since childhood and hide them for fear of being different from others. However, there are also those who misuse using their ability to do something bad."

Alex is confused by Bilson's explanation. It's not that he wasn't aware of his abilities since childhood, he had previously been honest with Bilson that indeed he had just gained this ability a few days ago. 'Maybe this is different from the talent owner.' Think Alex.

"How did Mr Bilson know about this?" Alex asked curiously.

"I'm actually also one of the owners of that talent." Alex was surprised to hear Bilson's statement, but Bilson continued, "I actually scolded you earlier because you showed it to us suddenly. Do you know, I didn't even tell Tina my talent or the secret about the talent owner."

"Alright, I'm sorry about that. I think I can trust the Tina ma'am I've known for three years." Alex apologized sincerely.

"So, have you ever done anything bad with your innate talent?" Bilson looked straight at Alex with a sharp eye.

"Of course not. I used my power to store things like that." Alex buru - hurriedly explained in panic.

"Actually my strength is not as great as yours. I can tell if someone is lying or not while answering the question I've been giving." Bilson nodded confidently then continued, "looking at you honestly, I want to tell you and advise you. In this world, there are organizations that monitor talent owners. Although I did not work in that organization, I was friends with the head of that branch of the organization in this city and they often asked me to do some things for them. So don't ever do anything bad with your power it's Alex."

Alex nodded in agreement to Bilson's advice, "Of course, since childhood I have never done anything illegal. Even though I gained this power, Mr. Bilson can be sure I won't use it for anything evil".

There is one thing about his talent that he hides from Alex that is his strength only shows whether his interlocutor is telling honestly or not according to what his interlocutor believes.

If the interlocutor believes that one plus one is three, then with Bilson's strength it will show that the interlocutor honestly says one plus one is three.

With the words of Alex, Bilson can be sure that Alex has never done anything bad and also does not intend to do it. Even so, it does not ensure that in the future Alex's nature will not change thanks to certain conditions that will change his perspective and do things that are bad with the talent that Alex has. Thinking of that, Bilson plans to tell his friend who is the head of the organization's branch about the power Alex has.

"alright. I won't ask you where you get the things you'll sell me later because I know everyone has secrets they want to keep. Most importantly, you told me that you didn't get those things by doing bad things."

"Thank you Mr. Bilson." Alex admires Bilson's nature. Of course, maybe Bilson's a little uncomfortable with his power. If he is told by his talent that his friend is lying, then it will lower Bilson's trust in his friend and worsen their friendship. Especially with his wife Tina. Maybe that's what makes Bilson not want to tell Tina about the owners of talent and strength.

After saying goodbye to Bilson and Tina who saw Alex with a little strange, Alex bought a lot of drugs and then went home riding his blind motorbike.

Magic Planet.

"The village chief is calm, I'm confident in the medicine I have. If it's contagious to me, I'll just drink it." Alex's clone approached Owen who was seen lying on his bed.

Last afternoon, Timothi worriedly came to Alex and said that the village chief seemed to have contracted the disease.

Previously Timothi felt strange to see his father who did not come out of the room since last morning he knocked on his father's room door and intended to enter the room.

However, Owen angrily told Timothi not to step into his room and then painstakingly closed the door and locked it from the inside.

Timothi was surprised to see his worried father even though he was scolding him. With that Timothi concluded it was possible that his father had contracted the disease since visiting the village of Muru adjacent to their village.

"When did you make these things?" Owen weakly lay down and turned his head to Alex.

"The village chief doesn't need to think about that. Now I've made some drugs and will continue to make them to stock up in case of an emergency." There's no way Alex says he's bought a lot of drugs from his home world.

"Are you sure your medicine can cure this disease?" Owen asked weakly which Alex immediately greeted, "As the village chief had heard before. The efficacy of this drug is the same as the herb mentioned by the village head to treat fever. Even though we don't know what kind of disease this is, if curing the fever is successful then I'm sure the village chief will be cured."

Owen got the confidence to see Alex's conviction, "Thank you Alex. I'll give you a price that matches the potion the merchant sold."

"The village chief doesn't have to worry about that now. How can I accept it while the village chief has not recovered?" Alex shook his head.

"But you've been trying to help us by making this medicine. There's no way we can't repay you?"

'Yeah. Not that I'm struggling. I just bought it in my home world for a cheap price.' Alex smiled wryly.

"What if it's like this, usually my medicine needs to be taken three times a day for two days to cure a fever. Given the kindness of the villagers to me as a guest in this village, I will sell him three silver coins each to the village chief." If the potion the village chief said was worth one gold coin equal to a hundred silver coins, Alex intended to sell the ponodal medicine he bought for ten silver coins. Given that it took six grains of medicine for the disease to heal, then the cost incurred was only sixty silver coins which was much cheaper than the price of the herb.

Alex gives Owen a cheap price because Owen is the subject of an experiment for a ponodal drug he brought from his home world.

Not to mention the kindness of the villagers to Alex during his stay here, Alex would certainly give them a different price to the merchant who would come later.

"Isn't that still too cheap?" Owen asked hearing the price Alex said.

"Just relax, the ingredients needed to make the drug are easy to find in the forest. By selling it that big I've earned a lot." Alex smiled to calm Owen down.

"Has the village chief eaten?" Alex asked Owen who was looking at him with gratitude.

"I ate the porridge just now."

"Good, because before taking this medicine is required to eat first." Alex explains the rules for taking ponodal drugs to Owen.

"I will accompany the village chief in these two days. The village chief doesn't have to worry that I'll catch it. I had to look at the village chief's condition directly to ascertain the effect of the medicine I had."

Owen nodded at Alex's words. He is also worried that if Alex will go out and cross paths with other residents, Alex will transmit this dangerous disease. Although Owen was not sure whether Alex had contracted the disease or not, he was grateful for it.
