Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

With that, Caleb and the two went to the Cafeteria after the small episode with Hui Kui. There's no one to witness the encounter so no rumors spread about it. If there was, Caleb would be the talk of school again.

"Adam, what do you think about that guy?" Fatty asked while munching his food to his heart's content.

"That guy is a nobody. Who is he to talk rudely? Blocking our way only to back out. His two underlings kept barking at us and praising him yet he seems like a scared man."

Mei added.

Caleb turned his head from his plate to Fatty. "Do you know him? Why does he target me? Because everybody thinks I'm the strongest he wants to challenge me?"

Fatty looked at Mei and Caleb with doubt: "You guys don't really know him???"

"Well, he's the no.3 strongest in our school before."

Fatty couldn't believe it. They don't know about Hui Kui? Do they really not pay attention to other stuff in school except for fighting and training!?

Caleb and Mei nodded while eating and just chose to listen.

"Before Adam climbed the hierarchy or ranking in school and surpassed Zhou. Hui Kui is the fourth. Just below you." Fatty looked at Mei. "Now he's fourth with Adam's addition to the ranking."

"I think he's upset that his ranking fell because of you. He's in denial. He acknowledges Mei and Zhou and he's scared of them but not you."

"I can't blame him since he doesn't what you can do. Now, he wants to prove to everyone that he's better than you."

"Good analysis. So now, he wants to challenge me..." Caleb gave Fatty a thumbs up. When it comes to school matters. Fatty's IQ goes up.

A look of surprise appeared on Mei: "Oh... So that's why he's scared of me. A typical person who fears the strong but bullies the weak. I think he's cut from the same cloth as Zhou." Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Just let him come if he wants to come. It's a good way to make an example for others. It would avoid a lot of future troubles."

One of the corners of Caleb's lip was slightly raised. This isn't a Chinese novel. He won't let lightly of people that dare to cause trouble for him. If they trouble him, he would assure them that they won't cause another trouble.

...

As Caleb came out of the school. He stopped at the road 5 meters away from the gate.

"Hmmm... Why is Alfred not here y-..."

Suddenly, the phone in the left pocket of his jeans vibrated.

Caleb's hand slipped into his pocket as he looked at his phone. On the screen, there are two buttons to swipe. Red and green. The caller's ID was none other than their butler.

With a swipe to the green button, he answered the call.

"Hello? What's up? Why aren't you here yet?" Caleb started.

"Young master, sorry for the late heads up. But it was also too sudden for me. I need to pick up young master Klein for some reason."

"Damn... Don't call me a young master." Caleb said helplessly.

Alfred continued, "Apologies, Sir. Young Master Klein requested an urgent pickup. I'll be there in a few minutes."

Caleb sighed, realizing he would have to wait. "Alright, just make it quick. I don't want to loiter around here for too long."

As Caleb hung up, Mei looked at him with curiosity. "Klein needs a special pickup? What's going on?"

Caleb shrugged, "Who knows? Family matters, I guess. But it's weird; he usually takes the school bus."

Fatty chimed in, "Well, families have their own dynamics. Maybe he's in trouble or grounded for something."

While waiting, the trio discussed their encounters with Hui Kui. Mei couldn't help but express her disdain for people like him.

"I hate those who prey on the weak but fear the strong. If he thinks challenging Caleb will prove something, let him try. It's not like he stands a chance."

Caleb smirked, "Exactly. I won't let him disturb our peace. And if he underestimates me, he'll learn a valuable lesson."

Just then, Alfred's black car pulled up, and Klein stepped out with a serious expression. "Sorry for the inconvenience, Adam. I had a family matter that needed immediate attention."

Caleb waved it off, "No big deal. Family comes first. Just let me know if you need anything."

As Klein got into the car, Caleb turned to Mei and Fatty, "See you guys tomorrow. And Mei, let me know if Hui Kui causes any trouble. I'll deal with it."

Mei nodded, "Sure thing. Take care, Adam."

Caleb watched the car drive away and muttered to himself, "Family matters, huh? I wonder what's going on in the De Vera household."

As the car smoothly cruised through the city streets, Caleb turned to Alfred and Klein. "Hey, can we make a quick stop? There's a dark alley nearby, and I want to feed the stray cats. It's become a bit of a habit."

Alfred, accustomed to Caleb's quirks, nodded, "Of course, young master. We can make a brief stop. It won't take long."

Klein raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued. "Feeding stray cats in a dark alley? That's an interesting habit. How did that start?"

Caleb grinned, "Well, it all began when I found a stray cat near our mansion. It looked hungry, so I gave it some food. After that, more cats started showing up. Now, whenever I see a dark alley, I can't resist checking for hungry feline friends."

The car smoothly pulled over near the alley, and Caleb hopped out with a small bag of cat food in hand. He walked into the dimly lit space, and within moments, a few pairs of reflective eyes gleamed in the darkness.

"Here, kitty, kitty," Caleb called softly as he scattered the cat food on the ground. Stray cats cautiously approached, their hunger overcoming their wariness.

Klein observed the scene with a smile, "That's unexpectedly wholesome, Adam. I never took you for a cat person."

Caleb chuckled, "Well, they may be strays, but they appreciate a good meal. Besides, it's a small way to make their lives a bit better."

After a few minutes of cat feeding, Caleb returned to the car, satisfied. "Alright, let's head home now. Thanks for indulging my cat-feeding detour, Alfred."

Alfred smiled, "It's my pleasure, young master. Now, let's get you both home safely."
