General Hong Fei immediately jumped in. "Yeah, yeah! Duck meat's the best! Not chewy like, you know… those young military brats!"
"Much more tender," General Riki added, completely straight-faced. "Very juicy. Doesn't fight back either."
"Hahaha! Eat more! Eat more!" General Liang bellowed, slapping Damien on the back hard enough to make the table rattle.
Fatty was staring at Damien like he'd grown wings.
"Boss…" he whispered with admiration. "You eat human meat too? That's crazy!"
Damien calmly reached over and smacked Fatty upside the head.
"Don't listen to these old lunatics," he muttered. "They got infected by a stupid virus earlier today. It's called 'Senile Madness'."
The generals roared with laughter.
"Truth be told, little boy," General Maru said, wiping his mouth, "you're amazing. Too amazing."
General Riki nodded, duck bun still in hand. "Your feat earlier today killing 5,000 awakened beasts in one simulation run… that wasn't human. It was godlike."
