Eat More Then, Ehehehe~

"Just tell me who he is!" Joey demanded.

"…" Blake remained silent and kept glaring at Blake.

How dare he? He was the first one to invoke trouble and now he had the audacity to shout at others? Who does he think he is!?

Seeing his friend, Blake so furious, Adam, another boy in the group sighed before speaking, "Alright, I'll tell you who he is…"

Joey then turned towards Adam, waiting for the answer.

"He is Elder Ace, a Great Elder in the Inferno Sword Se-"

"Huh? Inferno Sword Sect? isn't it an average sect? How does it compare to our Vicious Snake Sect? (one of the 4 strongest sects in the city, in case you forgot) I don't think he is that big of a deal like a CERTAIN SOMEONE is turning it into" Joey spoke sarcastically while he glanced at Blake with a corner of his eyes. Blake on the other hand felt his anger getting out of control but before he could say anything, Adam rebuked in annoyance.

"Can't you just stay quiet and listen!? Your status as a relative of Elder Payn won't do shit if you offend that guy!"

Joey narrowed his eyes before questioning, "What do you mean?"

"What do you know about the Inferno Sword Sect's status?" Adam questioned.

"Um… I remember hearing that they are respected as much as the 4 strongest sects even though they are a lot weaker than us… I found it weird and searched about it and learned that it was due to a single person's presence and interestingly, that person isn't their sect leader it is an elde-" Just as Joey was about to complete, he realized something.

He then glanced at Adam who nodded and his eyes opened wide.

"Y-Y-You… you mean to say that… that he was…?" Though he already realized Ace's identity, he still didn't want to believe it and tried to confirm it in a hope that he was wrong but he, of course, was right this time and Adam confirmed it, "You are right. He is Elder Ace, the Great Elder of Inferno Sword Sect, and the man who is believed to be the strongest after the Sect Leaders of the 4 Strongest Sects"

"N-No…" Joey muttered in disbelief and Blake smirked.

"Yes! If I didn't stop you and you offended him, there were zero chances of you getting out of there unharmed. Let alone you, even you uncle Payn won't dare to offend him. Even the Sect Leader, I don't think he would want to make an enemy out of him for someone as insignificant as you. Heck, he might even just kill you to get in his good books"

Joey's face paled and he felt a chill running down his spine when he imagined that.

Since he was a child, he was very arrogant as his uncle was an elder in one of the 4 strongest sects in the city. Everybody respected him and listened to everything he said, so when he noticed that someone else's order is being fulfilled before his, he snapped and decided to confront Maggie and those customers, his friends, already being used to his attitude followed him there and everything happened.

*Knock* *knock*

As they were talking, a knock was heard before the doors opened and Maggie appeared with an awkward expression.

"Dear customers, here's what you ordered" Maggie spoke before placing the dishes on the table.

"I'll be taking my leave then" spoke Maggie as she quickly turned around. It was clear that she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Miss Maggie, can we talk to you for a moment?" Blake requested and Maggie's face paled, she turned around awkwardly and if one focuses, he would notice that her tail was trembling slightly.

She was scared.

"C-Can I help you with something?" Maggie questioned.

"You don't have to be so nervous, Miss Maggie.

It was our fault for barging in like that. You were completely right with what you did, he was Elder Ace after all, I don't think there is anyone who won't show favoritism. So we don't blame you and even apologize for being rude to you" Blake explained calmly and politely, helping Maggie calm down a little. Maggie then nodded, showing that she was alright and a light smile appeared on Blake's face.

Why was Blake so polite to her? He noticed that Ace was smiling when she was in their room, of course, that could be because his family was talking about something funny before Maggie walked in, but that could also be because Ace likes Maggie's company and if that's true, then he most definitely doesn't want to offend Maggie either.

Now that that's done, Blake came to the main reason why he called her, "So, miss Maggie… do you think Elder Ace was mad at us due to our rude display?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, do you think that we offended him?"

"Well… I don't think so, he pretty much ignored you guys, I mean, I don't think he will care about someone as insignificant as yo-N-NO! I-I didn't mean it like that! Really! My tongue slipped! I am really sorry!!" Maggie quickly apologized but the arrow was already fired.

"No… actually we would be happy if that was the case… anything is better than offending him" Blake smiled wryly.

"Again, we apologize for our misconduct and thank you for bringing the food. You can go now" Blake nodded with a smile and Maggie quickly left the box.

In the other box, Ace, Maeve, and Gracie quickly finished their food since Gracie was excited about meeting her Sister Maya again. She also wanted to learn more about beaches so that was a plus.

"Mama! Aren't you done yet?" Gracie questioned as she tilted her head and frowned.

Since Maeve had a recent Breakthrough, she needed to eat more than normal and was now on Gracie's target.

"Gracie, be a good girl and wait for a little, kay? Mama's a bit hungry today" Ace explained as he kneaded her chubby cheeks.

"Hehehe~ Alright, Mama, eat more then! And once you get fat, Papa won't carry you anymore and I will be taller than you~ Ehehehe~"

Gracie giggled cutely and Maeve's eyebrows twitched, she then glanced at Ace who was trying to control his laughter and had covered his mouth, even trying to avoid her gaze while he had a very weird expression on his face, it was like a mixture of smile and serious look.

"Alright! I Ate enough! Let's go!" Maeve declared as she stood up. Even though she won't accept it, Gracie's teasing affected her more than it should have. Well, it was understandable since she was a woman and women especially don't like to get overweight.

Ace was smart enough to not complain about the left food, though it was important to teach the importance of food to Gracie, it wasn't as important as his own life so he quietly stood up and the three left the cafe after paying for the food.

Of course, Ace didn't forget to glance at those idiots who tried to ruin his breakfast one last time, as if remembering their faces.

The trio then walked towards the Gracious Flower Sect.

The Gracious Flower Sect was one of the 4 Strongest Sects in the city, and the sect makes sure to show that they are the strongest and wealthiest. The Sect is 2 times larger than the Inferno Sword Sect and it mostly consisted of females. The Sects believe in the idea of female supremacy and their members look down on men.

Even though the Sect does accept male disciples, most of the disciples are female and male disciples are treated very differently, the other males in the Sect are the workers and the family of the Sect members. Though the sect is filled with female beauties, no men want to go near it since they will only get beaten up and bullied by the girls and even the authorities won't accuse the girls there. It was anything but the male paradise.

Let alone normal guys, even the disciples from the other 3 Strongest Sects are looked down there. But as things as they are, the sect can be called a paradise for females, any female who lives in Espade city dreams about joining the Gracious Flower Sect.

The Sect doesn't especially prohibit their disciples to have relationships with other men but the environment there just turns every girl into a natural man-hater. Of course, there are some exceptions to all this and not every man is hated by the disciples and one of these exceptions was entering the Sect right now with his family by his side.
