The Devil's Cage Chapter 1362 – Different Attitude
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a private room of Yue Restaurant.
Kieran was sitting at the round table while Lyn Amie, the makeup artist, was standing at the entrance with a slightly hurried look.
Eckart, on the other hand, left the restaurant when he brought Kieran there.
Too much had happened in one night, Eckart had a lot of things he had to attend to personally. After all, only he could achieve the best result.
To not leave Kieran in the cold, before he left, the director called the makeup artist over, which he thought was very close to Kieran—at least it was what he thought.
As for the make up artist?
If it was possible, he didn’t want to appear in front of Kieran.
The unpleasant lunch errand made Lyn Amie queue in front of the previous restaurant again, he wanted to gather enough evidence to argue with Kieran.
Then?
There was no ‘then.’
Kieran once again proved himself right and Lyn Amie wrong.
Given the circumstances, it was quite awkward for him to meet Kieran now.
But what could he do?
He was just a small employee making his living at the TV station, he was not in the position to say no to the director’s order.
And according to the director’s order, he had to make Kieran happy.
Otherwise…
He would have to return to his hometown and open a barbershop.
Lyn Amie could change his name back to Lyn Donnie.
“W-What do you want to eat?”
After racking his brain, he asked a ‘not-so-useless’ question.
The moment the question came out from his mouth, Lyn Amie smiled awkwardly.
However, his smile was put away right after it showed because Kieran looked up at him with a plain gaze.
There wasn’t any pressuring aura, but Lyn Amie felt like he couldn’t breathe properly, his head started to go dizzy, and his body almost faltered.

Lyn Amie twisted his body in an unnatural, uncomfortable way and stepped back.
Fortunately, Kieran put his gaze away and concentrated on flipping through the menu.
Another second under Kieran’s stare and Lyn Amie might have run away.
Kieran carefully flipped through the menu from top to bottom before saying, “Everything.”
“Everything?” Lyn Amie was stunned.
“Mhmm,” Kieran nodded.
“Wouldn’t everything be too much? You…”
The makeup artist wanted to say something else, but when he saw Kieran’s eyes again, he wisely shut his mouth.
“Okay, I’ll go place the order.”
Lyn Amie took the menu and left the private room.
10 minutes later, 18 appetizers were served in an orderly fashion. All the waitresses who served the dishes were looking at Kieran with shock and curiosity.
They didn’t know Kieran was alone in the room, and at the same time, they didn’t think Kieran could finish all the dishes.
Therefore, many waitresses showed an unusual gaze toward Kieran.
It wasn’t actual disgust, just distaste.
The customer is always right.
As long as the customer can pay for their meal, any ridiculous request would naturally be forgiven.
Though, the waitresses widened their eyes at the very next moment.
The movement of the chopsticks caused afterimages in its wake.
The dishes on the plate were vanishing at exponential speed.
When the last appetizer was served, the first three plates were already empty.
Followed by the fourth, the fifth…
10 minutes later, when the tea was served, a stack of plates was already piled up before Kieran, soon followed by the second and third stacks of dishes, forming a little mountain before him.
2 more hours later, when Kieran placed the bowl of soup down, not only Lyn Amie, even the waitress in the room widened her eyes and felt her jaws drop.
Unlike the purely shocked makeup artist, while the waitress was shocked, they were also thinking.

Soon—
“2567!”
“Shaman, 2567!”
One of the waitresses called out in shock but quickly realized it was a rude way to call the customer. The waitress promptly covered her mouth.
Still, her voice was clearly heard by Kieran and Lyn Amie.
“Even a waitress recognized you… “
“You are that famous now?”
Lyn Amie was actually squatting down behind the cabinet in the room. He didn’t watch the ‘Shaman’ show at night, so his impression of Kieran was still from the afternoon.
It was only a few hours between the afternoon and night.
What could a man do in a few hours?
Gathering with friends? Or two movies back to back?
Therefore, Lyn Amie didn’t think about it that much, he only hoped that the waitress would not get caught in the mess.
Lyn Amie already listed Kieran into his list of ‘weird individuals,’ he knew Kieran’s temper was not good, and once Kieran got angry, the one who faced his rage would suffer terribly.
Judging others by oneself.
Lyn Amie didn’t want to lose his job, the waitress wouldn’t want to either.
“We are all good now, miss. You can leave u-…”
Lyn Amie stood up and waited at the waitress, but before he finished, he was stopped.
Because he saw Kieran smile, not a cold one but a kind, warm smile.
“Yes, I am.”
Kieran nodded with a smile, his voice was soft and kind.
Since Kieran knew how to gather the ‘reverse energy,’ he knew how should he act in front of a stranger who was curious and admired him.
One person might not be much, but many small amounts make a difference.
Kieran at least understood that much.
“N-Nice to meet you.”
“Your show just now is too astonishing! C-Can I get an autograph?”
While Kieran was being kind, the waitress mustered up enough courage to ask in a stutter.
“Sure, where do you want it?” Kieran maintained his smile.
“Here! Here!”
The waitress passed a pen to Kieran, extended her left hand, and pointed at the back with her right index finger.
“Okay, what do you want me to write?” Kieran took the pen.
“Can you write ‘Happy Advance Birthday, Li Hye’?”
The waitress asked.
Kieran didn’t answer; he wrote as told.
‘Happy Advance Birthday, Li Hye.
‘A very bright girl and shadow shall not linger around her—2567.’
…
Kieran purposely added a new sentence after fulfilling the waitress’s request.
After seeing the new sentence, the waitress, Li Hye, smiled so brightly that her eyes turned into arcs.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
Amidst the repeated thanks, the waitress left the room.
When she passed by the makeup artist, she also smiled and thanked him. Although the worst didn’t happen, she was still very grateful.
However, the young waitress didn’t notice that Lyn Amie was stunned, as stiff as a log.
“W-Who are you?”
Lyn Amie asked out of shock.
Kieran looked at the makeup artist coldly.
Sweat instantly broke out from his forehead.
The cold glare was very familiar, Lyn Amie knew it was Kieran at that moment.
Wait, why did you treat the waitress so kindly just now? Why are you doing this to me?
Am I the easier one to bully?
Questions flooded Lyn Amie’s heart, he planned to run away again.
Kieran’s gaze alone gave him immense pressure.
But, maybe a kind person’s luck wasn’t that bad, just when Lyn Amie wanted to run but hadn’t made a move, the door of the private room was knocked on.
Dok Dok Dok!

Travel the stars.Seek out new and hospitable Alien Worlds.Establish a Forward based for their Master's eventual colonization.And, If necessary, crush any and all native resistance it might find. It was a Mission that Alpha took seriously and dedicated its entire being to.However, when Alpha flies a liiiiitle to close to a Blackhole and gets sucked in, it is thrown into a situation that no amount of programming could prepare it for.

Thus don't expect him to think or act like a human might. That being said, he/it is not bloodthirsty and evil either. He is specifically programed to work with, and indoctrinate Native species when possible. He is not a demon lord come to end the world as they know it, but a Conqueror come to subjugate. 2): MC won't be getting some kind of Humanoid form or suddenly start trying to think like a Human. Although an AI, he is perfectly Sapient, and fully understands both what he is and what is mission is. He is capable of adapting and changing his thought process, but at the end of the day, the Mission is what matters to him. He doesn't see the need or even WANTS to be Human. The only exception to this might be Humanoid body doubles or puppets used in places his main body isn't able to go. 3): This story is a mix of both Sci-Fi and Cultivation novels. MC with NOT be able to Cultivate themselves (for obvious reasons), but using his technology and knowledge, will be able to adapt and repurpose the strange and exotic resources you might find in a Cultivation World to increase his power and keep up with the powerhouses of this Universe. 4): The Intention of this story is to alternate between it and Parasite King, so I don't get burned out writing either one. As such, updates, while not slow, won't be to quick. Bare with me for awhile till the wheels get rolling.
