Facing Difficulties

Next day Ethan got up a little late. He was tired from all that journey and other unnecessary stuff like encountering that jerk Derek and pretentious Young Master Sirius. And needless to say, cleaning the entire Clinic and it's premises. He fell asleep last night and woke up a little late. After he woke up late, he felt a little refreshing.

He looked outside. And sure enough, there were not even a single moving creature outside apart from him. He wasn't depressed though. When he offended the Young Master Sirius, he expected something like this would happen. So he was mentally prepared for it.

He took a nice shower and walked out. He was practically living in a forest. So he can't find any restaurants to enjoy a nice meal. So he had to walk a long distance to enjoy any meal. He then changed his outfit. Later he locked his clinic and started to go to the city.

How annoying?

Ethan cursed. He knew that this is another disadvantage he had to suffer for antagonizing the descendant in power. He had to walk a considerable amount of distance if he wanted to fill his stomach.

Ethan soon calmed himself down. He knew that getting angry won't solve the problem. He had to find a solution for this problem as soon as possible. So after calming his raging heart down, he walked towards the city. The distance was not small. So it took him a while to reach the city.

As he entered the city, people gave him a weird look. It didn't take him long to understand that people started to recognize him thanks to the incident that took place the previous day. So he didn't find it strange.

Under every person's gaze, Ethan quickly found a restaurant and decided to go in. He was hungry. So he wanted to find any good stuff to fill his stomach. Later he need to find a way to poach the patients and cure their health issues. One or two patients were enough for him to prove his capabilities. And more challenging a patient's condition is, the better it is. It will be like gaining some instant fame. Then the flow of patients in his clinic will be huge.

But first he had to fill his stomach. He was hungry after all. That will his primary objective of the day. So he decided to enter the restaurant which he found randomly.

"Meals are ready! Please come and enjoy the meals!"

"Today's menu is...."

Ethan found a person outside the restaurant shouting and announcing about the meals. Ethan didn't care about the menu though. He was hungry. And he had to fill his stomach. That's all he needed to do right now. Everything else is secondary.

As he walked towards the entrance to the Restaurant, the eyes of the announcer shone brightly. His face bloomed with a warm smile as he prepared to receive his first customer.

"Welc--" ,As he was about to welcome Ethan, that announcer stopped abruptly. He looked at Ethan once again clearly. After having a good look, his smile froze. He suddenly remembered something and almost freaked out.

As Ethan was about to enter the restaurant, that announcer said, "Esteemed guest, please stop!"

"What's wrong?" ,Ethan asked.

"Ah.. Well, you see, the restaurant is reserved. Please find another one." ,He said.

"Reserved?" ,Ethan became serious. He suddenly had a bad feeling about this. He asked, "But you are still making your announcement right?"

"Well, it is for those people who could advance book the table. So, we apologize for not able to provide any service." ,That announcer said.

"Then I would like to book for the next available meal in advance." ,Ethan said, "When will be the next available booking session?"

"I am sorry to say this. But the entire day was booked by some group of people." ,That announcer sighed and said, "Please find another place."

"No problem. I will book for tomorrow then." ,Ethan smiled and said.

"Ah...?" ,That announcer almost vomited blood. But he still regained his composure. He then said embarrassedly, "I forgot. The restaurant was booked for next one week... I mean for next one month. Please find another place. We are sorry for inconvenience."

As the announcer said this, his eyes were somewhere else. Ethan could find anxiety in those eyes. So when he turned back, he sighed. He found a group of people looking at him. He recognized a particular jerk among them. It was none other than Derek!

How similar!

Ethan thought. Things were going on exactly as he used to read in a novel. In the novels, he used to read a similar situations where MC finds trouble against a rich and influential Young Master. Then that Young Master will use his influence to cause trouble in MC's every path. And he is in similar situation right now.

"I beg you, sir! All we have is this small restaurant for our living. Please don't cause trouble for us." ,That person said with pleading tone.

"Don't worry! I am not like a certain jerks who display the air of haughtiness in front of ordinary people, but licks the ass of those people who are stronger than him. I can understand your situation. Rest assured. I won't make things difficult for you. I will take my leave immediately." ,Ethan said with a smile.

"Thank you for your understanding, sir." ,That announcer said after taking a sigh of relief. He added, "And we are extremely sorry."

Derek was immediately angered by those words. He suddenly had an urge to rush towards Ethan and tear him into thousand pieces. But since killing Ethan was out of their options, and since he don't want to attract the wrath of Young Master Sirius, he controlled his anger. But he was still happy though. At least, Ethan was suffering from the lack of food. He could enjoy his suffering very much.

While at the same time, Ethan smiled and left the restaurant. He is not like those arrogant MCs who will find trouble for themselves all the time. So he didn't care about those arrogant stints. Novels and reality are two different things. He needed to be cautious all the time.

"Oh? We meet again." ,Derek said in mockery tone, "It is true. Enemies always have a narrow path. So how was your day so far. You weren't involved in any trouble right? If you have, then contact Young Master Sirius. He could use his influence to protect you. Oh... How could I forget your unyielding personality? I am sorry. But I couldn't find any way to hel---"

Derek wanted keep on mocking Ethan. But as he was kept on mocking Ethan, Ethan suddenly ran away from them very quickly. Even before Derek could process anything, Ethan was far away from him.

"What the hell are you doing? Chase after him?" ,Derek came back to senses. He then shouted at his followers and ordered them to chase after Ethan. They need to keep an eye on Ethan all the time. If they missed him, then they can't explain the situation to Young Master Sirius!
