All the people in the cells had gone quiet and were watching the old man carefully. The reason they all shut up at the same time was that they respected the old man and were afraid of him.

Because the old man was no ordinary man. He was the most powerful person in the division that they were staying, and his level of profound power was as same as the Toraman who was one of the people from the Meteor City and the Burning Meteor Sect, sixth level of Nascent Profound Realm.

The old man looked at Asil with his half-low eyes and then at the bread he had put out. Although it was clear that he was really hungry and his power level was incomparable to Asil, he did not make a move to take the bread from Asil and he asked calmly instead: "How about giving me that bread young man?"

A slightly surprised expression appeared on Asil's face after the old man's question, and he briefly pondered what to do.

After a brief hesitation, Asil made his decision and began to speak: " Senior, this is the only food I have with me, and if I give this to you I will most likely starve."Asil paused after talking and looked at the old man's careful and also careful expression, then he continued: "But the Senior seems quite hungry. If I eat something alone while you're hungry, it would be disrespectful to both you and my own beliefs. So." Asil took a deep breath and divided the bread into almost two equal parts and extended his relatively larger piece to the old man after finishing his words. "I'm going to give this piece to Senior, so the Senior can ease his hunger a little bit. I'll eat the other part so that I can suppress my hunger and not disrespect my beliefs or you."

The old man looked at Asil in a surprised manner. He never expected that this young boy, new to this cell, weak looking, who had an anxious gaze and expression, would do something like this and talk like this.

The old man glanced carefully at the Asil with his eyes, and then spoke with a solemn expression: " Young man, I will ask you a question, and if I were you I would answer this question honestly. Because I don't like liars."

Asil approved with a nod and spoke: "Senior, I am listening to you."

"Young man, there are only two of us in this cell and it is very obvious which one of us is stronger. Why would I be content with half when I could have all your bread in a situation like this, and what were you thinking you offered me half of that bread?"

The old man's question was quite clear and contained a sign of threat, but that was exactly the question Asil was expecting.

Asil slightly smiled and spoke decisively: "Senior, there are only two of us in this cell and it is very obvious which one of us is stronger. But I don't think you're going to take all of this bread."

As the bewilderment on the old man's face grew, he asked curiously: "Oh, so that is it. So why do you think like that?"

"Actually, the reason is quite simple. Because even though your strength is incomparable to me and you seem quite hungry, when I took this bread out, you did nothing to take it or hurt me, and instead you talked to me and asked for it. It made me think that you were not someone who would harm others for food, even though you seemed quite hungry. Besides, it would not be true if I ate while you were hungry. That's why I gave you half of the bread."

These were indeed Asil's thoughts, and he said these words because he thought the outcome would not be bad. The old man examined the Asil for a while with his eyes, and then spoke: "Interesting! People your age usually lie in this situation or give me all the bread. "After speaking, the old man's tone became acrimonious: "The words you say are both right and wrong, young man. What you were right about was that I'm hungry, that I'm stronger than you, and that when you took out the bread, I did not take it or did anything to hurt you. You are right about these, the part where you were wrong was that ' I was not someone who would harm others for food' that is where you are mistaken. Dozens of people came to this cell before you, and some of them had food. You know what happened to them?"

Asil gulped after the old man's question, which he asked out of his expectation, and then replied: "No I don't."

"They are all dead young man. The reason I didn't do anything to hurt you is not that I'm a good person. That's because I don't like hurting kids. But if you were not honest about why you gave me half of the bread, or if you changed your mind and gave me all the bread, I would kill you for sure. Because I really hate liars and the ones who eat their words!"

Even though Asil did not know, his old cellmate was a famous person and the source of this fame was his ruthlessness. He had killed countless people, and he didn't feel much when he was killing them.

After a brief silence, the old man spoke as if something had suddenly come to his mind: "Hmm, by the way, young man, you're not from here, are you?"

Asil, a little surprised by the old man's question, answered immediately: "Yes, I am not from here. Senior, how did you know that?"

The old man smiled slightly and answered Asil's question: "Young man, when you came here you looked around curiously, and when you heard the words of the people who were in the other cells, there was bewilderment and anxiety on your face. If you grew up around here, you'd be used to words like that and places like this. So you would not be curious or confused. So, where are you from and how did you end up here?"

"I'm actually someone who was born on the Star Plain and grew up there. I was brought here by an elder to train for strength."

The old man muttered the name 'Star Plain' several times and appeared to be thinking. After a brief period of thinking, the old man's eyes widened and he suddenly asked with a surprised expression: "Is the Star Plain that lies to the east of the Crimson Lightning Empire and where many people say they have gone to visit?"

Asil answered his question normally, though he did not know why the old man was surprised: "Yes. I was born in the touristic Star Plain of Meteor City, the largest city in the east of the Crimson Lightning Empire, and I lived there until this time. Why did senior ask that?"

A strange expression occurred on the old man's face, and after looking at the Asil for a while, he asked with a bewildered tone: "Do you know where you are right now, young man?"

Asil began to think something was weird. After all, although the Star Plain was a famous place, it was not a place to react like this.

"Senior, I don't know where we are right now. All I know is that we're somewhere far from The Star Plain and this place is going to improve me."

As soon as Asil finished his words, the people in the other cells began to laugh and speak loudly.
