After finishing his drink, he took another one and walked towards the table of the person, "were you waiting for me to come?" He asked

"Who knows, may be, may be not" Said Metiron smiling, a cup of hot coffee was already on the table, Jason pushed a chair and sat, taking a sip, he looked at the man and waited, the man took a sip and savoured the coffees bitter taste, "ahh... Do you know why I love so much coffee?" Asked Metiron as if him and the child knew each other so much, "that's a strange question, with such an expression went drinking, you actually love it?" Asked Jason.

"Haha, what's with my expression?" He coughed, "never mind, I would tell you" He lifted the cup, "it's because coffee taste like life, that bitter sweat texture of lives uncertainty, it may be sweat, bad or both, all this chaotic combination makes of Life" Said Metiron.

I mean, I and all the children " Asked Jason, Metiron smiled, "Earth" His one one made Jason to shiver, a possible to go to earth? Seriously? Jason did not bring down his guard, "I am all ears to the propositions" Said Jason.

"I want you to defeat the teams and win that tournament, you need to conquer the whole people, that's simple, and if that's accomplish, I can grant access to all the kids to go to earth deal?" Metiron gave a hand, Jason held it and the shook, Metiron soon started dispersing shocking Jason, the cyborg stood up and left.
