Mr. Chen stirred the coffee cup with a spoon. Although he didn't hate the taste of the coffee, he didn't appreciate it very much either.

Opposite Mr. Chen, Gourmet was staring closely at the way Mr. Chen stirred the coffee.

He didn't say much, just nodded silently, hoping that the man in front of him would let him go.

"Those brothers and sisters are busy with important things, so don't disturb them."

Mr. Chen looked at Gourme and smiled, then picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Hmm, it seems like adding another sugar cube would be more appropriate.

I thought so in my heart.

Mr. Chen tapped the coffee spoon in his hand lightly on the coffee saucer beside him, and a piece of sugar cube jumped into the coffee cup by itself.

No splash at all, full marks.

When Gurmei saw this scene, he couldn't help but breathe faster.

But thinking back to what the man had just said, he became a little anxious.

"I don't mean to disturb them!"

"I'm going to go to the lair and do what I have to do!"

Gourmei slammed the table seriously, his childish voice full of determination.

This big commotion did not cause any waves in the surrounding area.

On this windy and snowy night, there were no other customers in the store except for a coffee shop owner who was watching the TV on the wall.

The boss ignored what Chen Sheng was saying. He was busy playing with his phone, glancing at the TV hanging on the wall with his peripheral vision, without even moving his eyes over.

Mr. Chen looked at Gourme's determined gaze, then turned his gaze to his side and looked at the street scene separated only by a glass window.

Even in the dark, you can see this not-so-bustling town wrapped tightly in white.

There was not a single pedestrian on the street.

The snowflakes were blown by the strong wind, blocking most of the view outside the window. Only the orange-yellow light of the street lamp not far away could leave a little trace through the gaps in the snowflakes.

"What can you do if you go out alone in this kind of weather?"

"The nest is deep in the mountains."

"What should be done? What can you do?"

Mr. Chen's tone was very calm, but he indirectly pointed out the cruel truth from a certain angle.

Gourme followed Chen Sheng's gaze and looked out the window.

Perhaps it was because of the howling wind and snow, or perhaps it was because of the reassuring temperament of the man next to him, Gourme's mind suddenly became clear.

Yes, just as Mr. Chen said.

What will happen if he goes out?

Regardless of whether he could help his brothers and sisters destroy the nest, he couldn't even cross the snow and wind and travel across the snow-capped mountains.

Even if he still insisted on going out and the man next to him did not stop him, the result would still be his body being buried in the wind and snow and frozen.

If it weren't for the man in front of him, he wouldn't have been able to break free of the hemp rope that the woman had used to tie him to the construction site.

In fact...

He has no power at all!

Weakness is often the original sin.

He was eager to get to the lair, or perhaps he was just furious and wanted to prove that he had tried.

Gurmez thought about this and fell into a long silence.

Seeing Gulme like this, Chen Sheng was not in a hurry to say anything. This kid is indeed a good seedling, but the organization that is developing steadily now is not in a hurry to directly say that it wants to recruit him.

Mr. Chen just picked up the coffee cup and tasted it, which had a sugar cube added to it.

Well, the taste is pretty good this time.

He smiled with satisfaction and took another sip from his coffee cup.

Gourme was looking out the window in silence, with all kinds of thoughts running through his mind.

He has no power so he can't leave here, he has no power so he can't protect his family, he has no power so he can't take revenge...

My mind was in a complicated state, but the environment outside was unusually quiet.

Apart from the faint sound of the wind coming through the soundproof glass, the only sound I could hear was the TV being turned on by the bartender not far away...

Other than that, everything was so quiet.

Even the movement of the man next to him drinking coffee made no sound at all.

Gourmei looked at Chen Sheng, and his thoughts subconsciously became calm again.

It's strange to say, this man was clearly drinking coffee for the first time, and his actions did not show any etiquette at all.

But somehow it gives people a sense of elegance.

Gourmet paused, pondering.

A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to his mind.

Gourmet suddenly figured something out.

"Power! Please give me power!"

Gulmei swallowed and spoke to Mr. Chen in a slow and firm tone.

Looking at the man in front of him who was drinking coffee unmoved, Gourmet suddenly realized that he was really stupid.

Such obvious supernatural power is right before our eyes.

Why is he still so entangled?

In response to Gourme's words, Chen Sheng paused.

Putting down the coffee cup, he looked calmly at Gourmet in front of him.

"If you only pursue power, you will only get lost."

"If you want to gain power from me, you have to understand something first."

Mr. Chen's tone was profound.

As his mysterious and powerful aura emanated from him, the twelve-year-old Gourme was apparently stunned by his words.

Should we understand something first? Gurme was stunned, obviously fooled by these words.

Before his tragic experience began, he was also a child who liked to read novels, watch movies, and other fantasy works, and he also had some imaginary understanding of heroes and forces that transcend the mundane.

Could this be the test the hero faces before embarking on his journey?

Look clearly into your own heart first?!

If your heart is not strong enough, you can't really control your power?! Thinking of this, Gulme fell into deep thought.

And seeing Gulme sitting back down, he began to think about what he needed to understand to gain power.

Although Mr. Chen didn't say anything, he couldn't stop smiling in his heart.

Only when you are in this position can you understand the joy of being a riddler.

It is really interesting to watch others scratching their heads and thinking hard about the deeper meaning of their own words.

Of course, Mr. Chen was not just doing it for fun or a bit of bad taste, otherwise he would have gone there every day to tease Bai Yu to think more deeply about Dihua.

He also wanted to make Gourme's joining more difficult.

As mentioned before, the organization has now officially begun to develop, and once the Eternal Day Education Department is established soon, it will develop rapidly.

He wasn't so short of people that he had to rush to bring in this promising talent who was only twelve years old.

As for Gulmei's test and training, although he would not increase the intensity as he did with Bai Yu and the others, he would still make it a little more difficult.

This is just a child.

It's always good to hone your skills a little more.

As he thought about it, Mr. Chen continued to focus on his tests and training of the first seven members with a smile.
