Today was a brand new day!
The early morning rays illuminated the city as early as 6 A.M, reaching through several windows and waking as many people up as possible.
And just like the morning rays, the heat had slowly crept in, becoming stronger by the hour too.
The winds were stagnant, allowing the buzzing bees and tiny creatures to zoom around, creating quite a stir.
The roads became busy with vehicles of all sorts, and the city became booming and loud as it typically was.
But of course, within some high-end gated regions, the streets still remained as quiet and peaceful without the hustling and bustling of the city.
Well... at least, that's how it was supposed to be.
.
9:48 A.M.
Dorian calmly held his cutlery elegantly while slicing through the thinly cut strips of meat on his plate.
As he ate, Butler Sheng unhurriedly strolled in with a trolley of more dishes too.
The young Master Dorian had already eaten off 4 plates of food.
Butler Sheng cleared the dishes and neatly placed another set of meals on the table. And Dorian was still going at it while maintaining his etiquette as a proper stealthy master.
"Hmm." Dorian nodded and enjoyed his meal as if the countless guns pointed at him were nothing.
Yes. That's right.
At this moment, there were several uninvited guests at the dining hall, watching him calmly eat his meal in both rage and anxiety.
The tension in the room was so brittle that it could snap at any time.
One by one, they all pointed their guns at him and occasionally at Butler Sheng, who kept moving to and fro the kitchen to deliver his meals.
These rude uninvited guests looked like they wanted nothing more than to chew off his head,
But Dorian, who was honestly enjoying his meal, was just too lazy to get bothered with them.
Many didn't know, but one of his weaknesses was food... especially meat. And given the battle last night, he needed to fuel himself up fast!
.
Dorian felt that his decision to fill his belly was the right choice.
Well, the good thing was that even though this body had just stepped into cultivation yesterday.
So he could now stay longer without meals depending on how strong they were.
And at the moment, Dorian could go for a week straight without food.
Of course, any regular person could do this while drinking water too.
But the difference was that they wouldn't be able to do much and would subconsciously feel dizzy, lightheaded and hungry.
With him, he could run for days, fight and would not feel the weight of his physical body at all.
Anyway, when the opportunity arose, he always took advantage of the moment to eat to his heart's content because for all he knew, something might come up that would keep him but for days.
Maybe he wouldn't be able to come back today and have a meal, or perhaps he might only have the chance to eat 2 weeks from now.
Whatever the case, he liked to have his belly full.
Butler Sheng looked at the commotion and couldn't help having black lines on his face.
At first, he, Bewoh and Haru were worried about these people.
But after getting the signal from their Master, they could only calm down and go about their business as they usually did.
Nonetheless, they kept hovering around just in case their Young Master was in any danger.
Yes. Dorian might be exceptionally skilled.
But there were just too many enemies here, so the numbers did make them a little shaky and fearful for Dorian instead.
It was good to be confident. But overconfidence can also get a man killed too.
However, what they didn't know was that Dorian was the one who let these people in.
Heh.
If he didn't want them here, then they wouldn't be able to get past the formations around the gates.
That's right.
When everyone went to bed, he did a lot of work around the estate.
So he had been aware of their arrival.
It was just that he wanted to know who they were and why they were looking for him.
Could it be that worthless uncle of his?
Dorian was curious.
As for his guests, they too had countless thoughts passing through their brains as well.
.
"Young Master Tian, we are not here to watch you eat! Come with us now, or you'll only have yourself to blame for your ending!" Leiji said coldly.
They had just entered the room not more than 2 minutes ago, and they expected Dorian to either be shocked, panicked, intimidated, scared, angry or confused.
But no~~... He decided to go off script and improvise on the role he had been assigned.
What was this?
With all the guns around, any normal person would show any wave of emotion on their face or through their eyes, even briefly.
But the calm youth before Leiji didn't even flinch for a second. And what was up with his appetite?
Who eats this much?
At the rate he was going, the already poor-him would probably eat through any money left and starve to death somewhere in a ditch!
Could his stomach be a bottomless pit?
Seeing that Dorian didn't seem surprised at their sudden visit, Leiji's eyes turned cold as a thought dawned on him, confirming their earlier speculations.
"It was you, wasn't it. You were the one who attacked our Young Master Sota last night!"
Butler Sheng almost fell to the ground in rage when he heard Leiji's accusations.
Fart!
How dare these bastards come in here and frame Master Dorian?
They had been fighting tirelessly last night.
So what was this about attacking someone in their home?
Dorian paused, dropped his cutlery, stared at Leiji for a little while, before suddenly chuckling: "So, his time has finally come?"
~Tchack-cack.
Everyone within adjusted their guns and inched closer to Dorian. And at this moment, the world fell still.
It was him!
