Ryan looked at Aman's outstretched hand. He thought two times before accepting his handshake offer

"Take it, dude, do not embarrass me," Aman told Ryan.

"Ryan. Walker." 

Ryan grabbed his hand and activated his skill Blood Fists. Although his hands did not turn red as the level he activated them on was low, but they were enough to hurt someone.

"That was one hell of a powerful handshake," Aman pulled his hand back, he turned his eyes around him.

'F- fuck. I thought my bones would crack,' Ryan bit his lip from inside and grunted inside his mind. Aman did not apply a lot of force, it was his normal power. 

'....does Naomi-chan knows this? Or did she bring him deliberately,' Aman thought with a cold face when his eyes fell on the only vampire in the room, Devon, 'Hanging out with a vampire is dangerous if you are not strong enough,' Aman turned his eyes and saw the hot, cutie Gwen Stacy. 

'Such a cute little child.' He shook his head. 

"Uncle! What the hell was that? You would have killed me if it was not for Ryan!"

"Of course, it would not have killed you, dear. In fact, those knives would not have hit anyone. Not even touched anyone-"

"Wrong. Although it would not have cut anyone, one of knife would have touched Naomi's check,"

Aman looked down at Ryan, "What makes you so sure?"

"Me. My analysis. It is my Trait, I am a clairvoyant."

"Oh… now that makes sense how you managed to grab my knives so quickly."

Ryan did not reply, "Naomi. What are we doing here again?" Ryan had a gut feeling that this man was not safe. He has a strange feeling around him.

"To eat…?" 

"Here? In this, in this place? I mean, how?" Ryan asked aggressively, "This is nothing more than an abandoned kitchen." Ryan claimed as he turned around, "How are we—" his voice disappeared, his words were caught in his throat. 

For a second, he felt a strong presence behind him, as if someone was giving in a piercing stare, no one other than Aman.

"W- wh-" Ryan could not bring words out of his mouth. Aman was standing in front of him and staring at him closely.

"Hm~" He hummed while looking at Ryan.

"Uncle Aman…." Naomi feared for the worst, is he gay? Not possible, right? RIGHT? Right. 

"Naomi-chan." he lifted his head and looked at Naomi behind Ryan, "Is this guy your-"

"Argh! Yes, yes, he is my boyfriend. Do not ask again. Please let me and my friends eat your food!"

"....how dare she!" Gwen gritted her teeth, "she is lying so easily! I can not allow that," Gwen grunted. She then turned to Ryan to see his expressions.

'Really? I mean, seriously? Why do you love creating misunderstandings, Naomi!' He looked totally cool from the outside but he was feeling angry inside his heart. 

Devon's eyes went wide, how could she claim Ryan as her boyfriend so easily? And how is Ryan not saying anything? Devon questioned.

This has happened quite a few times with Ryan already, people make a misconception and think of Ryan as Naomi's boyfriend. 

Because it has happened so many times and Ryan has not denied it even once, it became like a normal thing for him. Maybe that was the reason Naomi developed a liking for him? He is handsome, cool, strong after all. 

Devon has been silent from the start without saying a single word. It made his presence unnoticeable. Ryan did not even notice that Devon, who likes Naomi, was in the room when this happened. 

"Good grief, Naomi-chan." he started talking in Japanese, "See, this is why I do not like bringing people to this place for eating their meal. No one respects it, they all diss the place and leave. Just like your dumb boyfriend, I hate when people do that." he completed in Japanese.

"Dumb?" Ryan frowned.

"Please, take them to my restaurant, I can not make food for them." Aman turned around.

Then in another language, he said, "Who knows where they come from. Fucking annoying," 

"But! Uncle! Please, We will not be able to come here for the next three years. Our Academy is creating new rules."

"Huh?" He stopped, "What rules?"

"You are not allowed to get out of the Aca–"

"Ah, that. Do not worry, I know them. They are called the New Protocols 2071. I know them,"

"Then…" Ryan stood behind him and said in Japanese, "if you know that, why would not you make food for Naomi at least? For the last time,"

"It would not be the last time," He was not surprised by Ryan's Japanese speaking skills one bit. And that surprised everyone in the room, even Ryan.

"Last time in three years," Ryan added.

"It would not be the last time, I said." Aman was stuck to the same, "Please go to my restaurant. This place is only for people who respect it."

"I do."

"You can not play mind games with me, thank you."

'You play mind games, Ryan!! You are a manipulator! You tried to manipulate me–!'

"Ryan. It is okay," Gwen stepped forward, she kept her hand on Ryan's shoulder, "Let us go somewhere else." She suggested.

Thankfully, Gwen stepped forward at the right time, or else Ryan would have lost himself in the pain of losing his girlfriend.

He looked at Gwen with an expression of being lost in his own thoughts, "Hm, right." he nodded with an open mouth.

"Come on," she pulled Ryan by his shoulder out of the room, they were about to walk out of the room.

"B- but wait. I got to clear something," Gwen stopped. She looked at Ryan and gave him a nod.

"Mr….. Aman, was it?"

"You can call me that."

"I respect your place. It is not that I do not respect it, I know what it means to be attached to something which is dear to you and is your first. Not as good as you, but I understand the attachment you form with these things."

Aman turned his eyes to Ryan, "See, kid, do not do it. Please leave right now." He warned Ryan but Ryan was determined.

'I can not, I can not be traumatized by Erin's incident even now. I should speak, I do not want to regret things again.'

"But, all I said was, how are we supposed to eat in a place which has no equipment, no furniture that is in good condition, no employees, no assets to cook. At least, I do not see any. Now you tell me, sir, how are supposed to eat in a place like this?"

Ryan completed. There was silence in the room. No one spoke anything. Devon was already feeling out of the place. Gwen was nervous as much as Ryan was. 

Naomi stood idly without doing anything. She was not sure what would be the right thing to do. She can not just force Aman to cook if he does not want to cook. 

"Follow me." Aman took a step forward, "I will show you." he muttered. He took a few more steps and disappeared into the next room.

"Let us go, guys." Naomi proposed. Everyone started following Aman after waiting for a few seconds.

They entered another room which was dark again. Nothing was visible to a human's naked eye through the darkness.

"Come on in. a few more steps" they heard a deep voice from somewhere in the dark. 

Ryan was the first one to step forward after Naomi. They silently entered the room. 

'I do not even know what Uncle Aman is planning now,' Naomi gulped as she slowly walked forward. 

"This. This is my dream kitchen. This is the kitchen I worked so hard for the previous 10 years. And now, finally, I have built this. I am proud of it."

"Huh? What kitchen?" Unfortunately, no one was able to see anything.

"See." Aman hissed in a deep voice. 

Click, click! Flash, flash. 

A few lights lit up. Soon followed by other tens of lights. The darkroom suddenly turned immensely bright for anyone to bear.

Everyone closed their eyes due to the sudden flash of lights. Their vision started to settle down. Their vision was back to normal.

From one corner, Aman appeared. The tall man with muscles popping out. His chest, his biceps, his abs. Everything was in shape. The perfect man in his early 40s…. 40 to be precise. 

"Woah…."

"Wow." 

A smile spread over Naomi's face, "This is why I like you, Uncle Aman."

Aman smiled back at them. "I hope you like it." He grinned.

The bright scene left everybody speechless.

"Man…. I can not believe there was something like this in here…" Devon muttered.

Ryan's eye was popping out, his mouth dropped open, 'Cool!' He became excited.

There was a modular kitchen in front of them. Shelves, table, chair, utensils, chopsticks, bowl, everything! Literally, everything a chef and an eater would need. 

Golden lights were lit in the room. It was a beautiful shade of golden orange color. Truly amazing. 

"Golden orange at noon, purple-blue at night," Aman told.
