Kieran was sitting in the restaurant, sizing up the surroundings before him.
Similar to the narrow alley outside, the restaurant was old, broken, and small.
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that it was clean.
However, there were only a handful of customers.
Other than Kieran, there was only Great Swamp, who was the one who invited him.
Kieran raised a brow when he saw Great Swamp pick up the menu in a familiar manner and start to order food.
All this while, Great Swamp presented himself as a mature man.
He could even be considered unfathomable in a certain aspect.
However, the phone call and the restaurant before him changed Kieran's impression of Great Swamp quite a bit.
Or to be more precise …
Crumbled.
"What's wrong?
Is it weird that I look like this? "
With a smile on his face, Great Swamp passed the menu to the only waiter cum chef, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face. He then turned to Kieran.
"Em."
Kieran nodded without hiding it.
"Managing a city is much more boring than you think, especially after the initial excitement and anticipation, all that's left is a long torment.
"Therefore, once something interesting happens in the city, it will attract my attention."
Great Swamp said.
"So, this place is interesting?"
Kieran sized up the restaurant again.
However, other than the old and broken decorations, he couldn't find anything interesting.
As for the food?
Based on Kieran's current Intuition, he could distinguish the food in the restaurant with his nose alone. It definitely wasn't outstanding, only average.
Too much sugar in the milk.
Too much oil when frying the bacon.
Too little oil when frying the eggs.
Too overcooked the bread.
The dressing used in the fruit salad was unreasonable.
Though, the food was fresh.
Still, none of it was interesting.
Kieran looked at Great Swamp with a doubtful gaze. He didn't believe Great Swamp, who appeared before him the moment he stepped into Flame City, would treat him to breakfast in such a leisurely manner.
"Very interesting.
Much more interesting than I thought. "
Great Swamp signaled Kieran to calm down and watch quietly.
Kieran had good patience, especially when there was food in front of him. Even if the food wasn't tasty enough, he would still be patient.
He picked at the crust of the omelet with the bacon.
The bacon was immediately dipped in the half-cooked egg yolk and placed on top of the brown bread, immediately bringing out a beautiful color.
Kieran stacked the bread and began to chew slowly.
From time to time, he would pick up some fruit salad, and from time to time, he would drink a mouthful of warm milk. He looked like he was completely immersed in it.
Great Swamp looked at Kieran with slight surprise.
This god didn't know that it could be eaten like this.
Like the other customers in the shop, he usually ate fried eggs and bacon on the bread crust.
"Is it delicious?"
Great Swamp asked out of instinct when he saw how engrossed Kieran was.
Kieran didn't say anything and just nodded.
Great Swamp then mimicked Kieran's actions and started to eat.
He didn't know whether it was his imagination, but when he mimicked Kieran's actions and ate his breakfast, Great Swamp somehow felt the breakfast here was a lot more delicious than before.
"You've been here before?"
Great Swamp couldn't help but ask Kieran, who ordered two more servings of breakfast, after a mouthful of milk.
"First time."
"Really?"
Great Swamp didn't quite believe it.
If he could notice this interesting place, so could others.
And when that person was Kieran, Great Swamp wasn't surprised at all.
When they first met, Kieran left a deep impression on him.
The similar feeling made Great Swamp pay extra attention to Kieran, and when they met again, Kieran's rapid growth in strength shocked him even more.
Even though he was a God in a city, he never thought a single person's strength could grow exponentially.
In his inherited memories and the rumors he heard, it didn't happen at all.
So when Kieran suggested working together, Great Swamp agreed without a second thought.
And the facts proved that it was the right choice to work together.
Perforation Sting, the thorn in his heart, was eliminated just like that.
Even the God of Forest City, that annoying bastard, was killed as well.
Therefore, even if Kieran noticed this interesting place, Great Swamp wouldn't be surprised.
Kieran shook his head at Great Swamp's probing gaze.
"Instinct."
Kieran answered.
Then, he didn't care about Great Swamp anymore and started to carefully inspect the surroundings.
Under his concentrated observation, Kieran soon found something.
Traces!
There were no traces here!
None of the guests that came in here left any traces behind.
However, the waiter cum chef, Kieran, and Great Swamp had traces.
The traces included footprints, touch marks, and so on.
"Spirits?
No, there's no negative energy presence.
Some kind of fiend? "
Kieran shook his head again while guessing. There weren't that many guests in the restaurant, including himself and Great Swamp, at most there would be six to seven, but now, there were more than 30 of them coming and going.
30 of the same kind of fiend, it wouldn't be a simple fiend anymore, it would be a race.
When Kieran looked outside the restaurant, he noticed that when the guests walked out and left traces on the ground, his eyes focused.
Almost out of instinct, Kieran looked at the restaurant owner.
He and Great Swamp could leave traces.
So could the owner.
But the other guests couldn't.
Why?
The only difference between Kieran, Great Swamp, and the other guests was their strength.
Based on that …
"It's fine, he's different from us, just a normal person.
What's different is here. "
Great Swamp interrupted Kieran's guesses, smiling as he pointed at the ground with the table knife.
"The restaurant itself?"
Kieran squinted his eyes, no longer sizing up the place.
He had memorized the entire restaurant in his heart, there was no need for him to size up the place anymore, but because of that, he was even more alarmed.
He didn't notice anything different about the place at all.
"Don't worry!
This place is safe, there's no threat! "
Great Swamp said with a smile.
"Do you know what's the reason?"
Kieran asked.
"I don't know.
That's why it's so interesting — as the God of this place, I didn't notice the difference at first glance. In fact, even after I entered this place and observed for a long time, I still didn't know why this kind of phenomenon would happen! "
Great Swamp shook his head right away.
"So …"
"You're spending your time here?"
Kieran furrowed his brows.
For Kieran, an unfamiliar and unfamiliar environment would always cause him to be alarmed.
When an unknown phenomenon occurred in such an environment, the alarmed would make him extra careful. If such a situation happened in his territory, Kieran wouldn't be as carefree as Great Swamp.
That's right, carefree and leisurely.
Kieran was certain about Great Swamp's state.
He was also certain that Great Swamp was infatuated with his current state.
"Curiosity will kill the cat."
Kieran said calmly.
It wasn't really advice, it was just a comment.
"A cat has nine lives.
And I have one more than a cat. "
Great Swamp replied with a smile.
As if it was a joke between friends, there was nothing wrong with it. Given the relationship between Great Swamp and Kieran, such a joke was harmless.
However, Kieran felt something wasn't right.
