Chapter 38: 035. Jessica Smith The Queen.
"Wow, you understand so quickly. You’re just as smart as your mom," said Johan, sitting next to Jessica’s bed.
Inside the big cozy room, there were only two people talking to each other; Johan sitting on a chair holding a book, and Jessica sitting on her bed, puffing out her chest proudly.
"Of course, I’m a genius after all," said Jessica, boasting of her abilities.
What Johan was doing was teaching Jessica how to speak and read in Indonesian, the native language spoken by her mother.
After smiling confidently, Jessica suddenly became sad and sighed heavily.
"I miss Mom," said Jessica who now looked sad.
Johan who saw that immediately felt the same emotion. He put the book he was holding into the bookcase and put on a friendly smile while approaching his niece.
"Guess what’s for dinner this time?" Johan asked Jessica.
The girl’s expression suddenly changed to one of curiosity.
"Could it be?" Jessica asked her uncle with such cheerful attitude.
Johan didn’t answer, he just smiled and nodded his head.
The short response succeeded in making Jessica excited and jump on the bed.
"Grilled fish with chili dabu-dabu!" shouted Jessica in excitement.
Johan smiled, "I’ll get it for you. Wait here."
Johan came out of the room and saw Farel sitting by the door yawning.
"Farel, I’ll go to the kitchen to get some food for the queen, don’t let anyone in," Johan said to Farel before leaving.
When Johan had left, Farel’s gaze suddenly changed. The sleepy gaze as if there was no motivation now turned into a very serious sharp gaze.
"Come out now," Farel said in a rather high tone of voice.
Galih who was hiding behind the wall could only sigh and show himself before the doorman of the queen’s room.
Farel looked at Galih very seriously. "Why are you hiding?"
Galih walked over casually. "It’s not wrong for you to be the queen’s guard, your instincts are like those of a wild animal."
An answer that gave no satisfaction at all and did not make Farel lower his guard.
Galih immediately sat down, leaning against the wall. "Calm down, I mean no harm. I’m just curious."
"Curious?" asked Farel, who narrowed his eyes as he looked at Galih.
"Why is Johan trying so hard to keep the queen’s identity a secret? What is he trying to hide?" asked Galih in a serious tone.
Hearing that question, Farel could only chuckle.
"I’m serious," Galih said.
"I’m serious too," said Farel, who was still chuckling. "It means you’re not worthy enough to know the queen’s identity."
"I don’t like the implications of your sentence," Galih replied, looking rather annoyed.
Farel immediately grinned. "You want to know? I’ll tell you."
Galih’s eyes immediately widened and he swallowed his own saliva. "Are you serious? You’re not joking, are you?"
Farel chuckled. "Let’s make a bet, Galih... We’ll have a quick duel and if you manage to hurt me even once, I’ll answer it, How about it?"
Galih immediately stood up and walked away. The man didn’t even want to answer Farel’s question.
Farel also stood up with a sullen face. "Wait a minute, you’re not interested in finding out? I’m giving you a chance."
Galih didn’t even turn to look at Farel. "No thanks, I still want to live. Even if the system I have is a crustacean system, I’ll still die fighting you."
"Tsk, you’re no fun at all," Farel complained before returning to sit beside the door.

Inside the large room used as a kitchen, Ardi had finished preparing food for everyone, except for the queen.
Ardi deliberately cooked the dishes for Jessica at the end because he wanted them to still be warm when she ate them.
While Ardi was still grilling some fish, Johan suddenly arrived.
"So, how was the meal?" he asked.
"S... Sorry.... I’m making it," replied a slightly nervous Ardi.
Johan sighed and looked around. "How about the dabu-dabu?"
"S... So... Sorry... I haven’t prepared it yet," replied Ardi who was starting to look panicked.
Johan went straight to the refrigerator. "But all the ingredients are in the fridge, right?"
"I... Yes..."
Johan opened the fridge and saw some of the ingredients he wanted.
He took some tomatoes, red chili, shallots, and lime.
Johan cut the tomatoes, red chili and shallots into small pieces and put them into a bowl. He sprinkled some salt into the bowl and then drizzled some cooking oil afterwards.
He took a spoon and stirred the ingredients together.
Not long after that, Ardi had finished grilling the fish.
Ardi immediately transferred them to a large plastic plate and arranged the grilled fish neatly.
Johan took the bowl of dabu-dabu and poured it over the grilled fish that had been neatly arranged.
After everything was done, Johan cut a lime and squeezed the lime over the grilled fish that had been mixed with dabu-dabu.
Ardi took a small bowl and filled it halfway with tap water, cut a lime and placed one slice into the bowl of water.
Johan stared at the bowl of tap water. "Even though I’ve lived here for a long time, it still feels strange to eat grilled fish with bare hands."

Inside her large room, Jessica was now lying on her bed hugging a large teddy bear. freeweɓnøvel~com
The girl seemed to be trembling...
Because she could hear it...
Although it was a bit faint this time, and the screams were not as many as before...
She could still hear it...
The sound of people screaming, the sound of desperate screaming.
But it was coming from certain people.
Jessica could indeed perform abilities like telepathy to anyone, but she could only do it consciously to people within a 200-meter radius of her.
She can hear the thoughts of others who are more than 200 meters away under certain conditions.
That person is a system user.
And the screams of the people Jessica heard were the screams of the system users that work for Johan.
"So....is that what they call you the queen?" the question came from the shadow of the closet that made Jessica’s eyes open wide.
