483 Learning how to have fun (part 2)
“Why the stoic expression?” Cami asked as the waiter left the table.
“Because I don’t feel safe in public, anything could happen at any time. Also, I generally don’t like being around humans they disgust me.” ke said causing Cami to chuckle.
“Then why don’t you have the same expression when you are in the cafeteria?” Cami asked.
“In the cafeteria, the fact that the food is free helps me ignore everyone else. As for security, it is only someone with a death wish that would attack or even attempt to cause trouble close to the square let alone at the square itself.” ke said.
“You know I would like to see you loosen up and smile more or at least change your stoic default expression, especially at work because you are chasing everyone away.” Cami said.
“That has always been the n because the more you smile with people the more they take you for granted.” ke said as the waiter arrived with 2 sses and a bottle of wine.
“Besides I don’t need new friends because you guys are already more than enough.” ke said with a smile causing Cami’s heart to melt.
Shortly after the wine, the food finally arrived, and without wasting time they both dived in, but that was when ke noticed Cami wasn’t enjoying the food.
“What’s wrong with the food?” ke couldn’t help but ask because they ordered the same food and so far, it was delicious.
.....
“There is nothing wrong with the food, especially the meat, it’s just that I would prefer a different kind of meat in my mouth.” Cami said with a seductive smile causing ke to almost choke.
“You got me there.” ke said as he finally recovered causing Cami to let out a lowugh.
“Did you choose to eat here just to say that line?” ke asked.
“Maybe...” Cami said with a smirk that made ke facepalm.
After 30 minutes of chatting and eating, they were done with their food and it was now time to pay the bills.
“That would be 22 silver coins.” The waiter said as he gave the bill to ke.
“Don’t worry I will pay the bill.” Carmi said before taking out her golden card.
“Are you sure because I can handle it?” ke asked receiving a nod of confirmation from Cami and a poorly hidden disappointed look from the waiter.
The waiter was disappointed at ke’sck of gentlemanliness because he should have strongly insisted but he didn’t.
Unknown to him ke had noticed the disappointed look, but he didn’t evene close to giving a shit about his feelings.
“You said something about investigating the beast tide.” Cami asked as they left the Ace of Steak.
“Yes.” ke replied.
“Why are you so invested in it?” Cami asked.
“Don’t know but I have a hunch that something is off about the beast tide.” ke said as they approached the sidewalk.
“Everyone feels the same, that is why investigations are still going on for centuries now.” Cami said while she leaned on ke as they waited for a carriage.
“My hunch is beyond that. For example, why were the beasts so united during the expansion of the city walls when the beast tide ended months ago?’ ke asked.
Just like humans, beasts fought themselves for resources and territory. So, it was extremely rare to see different beasts working together, let alone hundreds of them.
As for the ck tortoise being the cause of the unity, it even raised more questions because it was only a high-level emperor ranked beast that could dream ofmanding so many beasts.
“You have a point. So, what leads do you have?” Cami asked when she realized she had no answer for it.
“I got some data today, all that is left is for me to study them and piece things together.” ke said.
“See you tomorrow.” Cami kissed ke as a carriage finally arrived.
“Thanks for the dinner.” ke said as he waved goodbye.
Cami boarded the carriage and headed for the central region, while ke waited for another carriage that took him to his house.
When he got home, ke began taking out all the reports and data he had collected from the ash corps database.
He had not only collected info rted to the beast tide but also info concerning other parts of the empire and Infinite realm atrge.
…
“Who the fuck is calling me at this ungodly hour.” ke cursed as he picked up hismunication amulet and saw it was Cami.
“Thought you would be awake by this time.” Cami asked after seeing ke’s eyes.
“I was up all night reading.” ke said as he rubbed his eyes.
“So, I am officially free, what’s your address?” Cami asked.
“Oh, forgot about that.” ke told her his address and immediately began his daily workout.
Just 15 minutes after the call with Cami, his doorbell rang causing him to stop his push-ups and rush downstairs.
“How did you get here so soon?” ke couldn’t help but ask because the distance between the Karius estate and his house was at least a 25-minute drive.
“I was already out of the central region when I called.” Cami said as she couldn’t stop staring at ke’s sweaty muscr body.
“Oh...” ke said as he leaned in for a kiss.
“You never told me you live in such a beautiful ce. It’s so different from anything I have seen.” Cami said as she was captivated by the interior design.
“Did you customize your house?” Cami couldn’t help but ask as she walked through the double sliding door that led to the kitchen and saw the full ss door that led to the yard and also brought ample natural lightning into the kitchen.
“Yes...” ke replied.
“You are really making me consider having a ce of mine.” Cami said as she walked up to the full ss door.
“How much does it cost to rent a ce like this?” Cami asked.
“I don’t know…” ke replied leaving her confused.
