"That won't be necessary. I'll see how things go when I meet them," Lucas said firmly.

"Lucas, don't be afraid. While we might not be on their level, we can't appear weak either. You have to show confidence. Otherwise, they might look down on you," Caspian said.

Lucas remained silent.

Caspian changed his approach. "All right. Just be polite when you meet them. Don't act arrogantly in front of them. After all, they're way ahead of us."

"You should go to sleep."

"I can't sleep! I'm definitely going to have insomnia after hearing what you just said. Hayden Tate is my idol, you know?" Caspian protested.

"I'm going to sleep." With that, Lucas hung up the phone.

The next morning, there was a loud knocking on Lucas' front door.

Still half asleep, Lucas got out of bed and opened the door. Caspian immediately walked in.

"Lucas, why are you still sleeping? How can you sleep at a time like this? I didn't sleep a wink last night, and I still can't sleep now," Caspian said around
