Chapter 1212: The Prison Was Breached!
“Don’t worry. I will be able to complete my mission,” Connie replied confidently before riding away on her bicycle.
As if I can not worry about you… Mag sighed in his heart as he watched Connie ride away. Once again, he doubted his decision to keep her as his service staff member.
“Boss Mag, who is that? Why is she dressed so mysteriously?” Harrison asked curiously. Judging from that young lady’s figure, she didn’t look like any of the restaurant’s service staff.
“She is the restaurant’s newly recruited takeaway courier,” Mag answered casually before he turned to enter the restaurant.
“Father, can I bring Daphne and Little Bean Sprout home to eat today?” Amy, along with Daphne and Ignatsu, came from the bushes. They took a shortcut back.
“How do you do, Uncle Mag.” Daphne and Ignatsu greeted Mag.
“Of course you can.” Mag removed a dead leaf from Amy’s head with a smile before looking at Ignatsu, who was hiding behind and trying to cover his face by pulling up his collar. Mag saw plenty of footprints on his clothes and school bag and two fingernail prints on his forehead, so he curiously asked, “What happened to Little Bean Sprout?”
“He had a gang fight,” Daphne quickly answered on his behalf before pulling Amy’s hand, and smilingly said, “Fortunately, Amy came and kicked their a*sses.”
“Gang fight?” Mag was stunned. They were such little kids, yet they knew how to have a gang fight? No wonder Amy came back late today. He thought it was Krassu’s extending the lesson.
Given Amy’s power, she would have no problem even if she wanted to conquer the entire school.
However, Amy didn’t know how to control her strength, so he hoped that she had not injured anyone. He asked, “What happened, Little Amy?”
“Someone bullied Daphne and Little Bean Sprout. They wanted them to give up their pocket money, and even beat them up in the alley. So, I used the Rebound Ice Mirror to bounce the magic back to the little baddie who led the gang,” Amy answered obediently.
Daphne quickly added, “They wanted to turn Ignatsu into a pig head, so Amy changed them all into pig heads. Uncle Mag, Amy didn’t do any bad things.”
“That magic spell is only effective for one day. It will disappear once the time’s up,” Ignatsu added.
“Seems like Amy is a little magic caster who protected her friends.” Mag looked at the three of them with a smile. He opened the restaurant’s door wide, and said, “Our three little warriors have just gone through a tough fight. Let’s go in to eat and replenish the energy that we used.”
“Let’s eat!” The three little children had a happy smile.
“Oh yes. Daphne and Ignatsu, do your parents know you two came back with Amy? They will be worried if they have no idea.” Mag asked the three of them lining up to wash their hands.
“I met my grandfather on our way here, so I already told him. He said he would come to the restaurant to fetch me later.” Daphne nodded.
“I am okay. Anyway, they are always not at home.” Ignatsu shrugged. A hint of despair flashed through his eyes.
Mag knew that Ignatsu’s parents were workaholics. He couldn’t help but feel sad for him when he looked at the cotton wool stuffed into his nose and the multiple scratches on his face. He smilingly said, “Uncle will give you a bowl of tofu pudding. Your scars will be healed by tomorrow morning.”
“Then, can I have the sweet one please?” Ignatsu’s eyes lit up with anticipation. “I love the sweet tofu pudding!”
“Of course you can.” Mag nodded before asking Daphne, “What flavor does Daphne like?”
“I like the savory tofu pudding,” Daphne said.
“I want both!” Amy raised her little hand too.
“Alright. Go sit at a table after you guys wash your hands. I will make something nice for you guys,” Mag said with a smile.
The three kids went out of the kitchen to play with Anna and Ugly Duckling. Poor Ugly Duckling’s face was squashed into a square and then into a triangle, but it continued to lie there, stationary.
Mag made dinner for the three children: a helping of Yangzhou fried rice each. He glanced at the clock, and it showed 5 o’clock sharp, so he began the dinner service.
The steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers had received rave reviews from the customers in the afternoon; hence, many customers brought their friends along to try. The sales were even better.
Mag left the children alone after the busy dinner service started as he was busy in the kitchen.
However, the children were very well-behaved. They went upstairs with an ice cream each after finishing the fried rice and tofu pudding. Amy’s playground was their paradise.
After a while, Daphne’s grandpa came to fetch her, and Ignatsu followed her home.
At around 8 o’clock, Yabemiya went into the kitchen after clearing a stack of plates. She worriedly said, “It’s already 8 o’clock, and Connie is still not back yet. I hope she didn’t get into an accident?”
Mag, who was turning the beef kebabs, had a shock. He had forgotten all about Connie and the delivery after he got busy!
It only took 10 minutes to ride from Mamy Restaurant to the Bastie Prison’s front gate, but she had already been gone for 3 hours. Wasn’t it abnormal that she hadn’t returned yet?
“Has Big Sister Connie lost her way?” Anna said softly. “I think she doesn’t have much sense of direction…”
“How could she have gotten lost when she was going next door…” Elizabeth said, confused.
This was exactly what Mag wanted to complain about, but as he thought again, given that fellow’s brain circuit, it was quite possible that something like this would happen.
Of course, it was okay if she had only lost her way. Mag was worried she would do other even more ridiculous things. Moreover, there were still many orcs looking for her out there. He couldn’t not worry about her.
“The service will be over in another hour. Let’s go and find her then.” Mag took a look at the full restaurant. Nobody could walk away to look for her now. If she was really lost, then she would have to wander around for another hour.
“Yes.” Everyone nodded, and then continued with their work.
…
A prison guard rushed into the deputy warden’s office, and said in a panic, “Deputy Warden, the prison was breached!”
The Bastie Prison had never been breached since it was built!
…
“Phew, they almost discovered me. Why is this house so big? There is an entrance on the left and one on the right, and there is still such a big place after getting into the basement. Where exactly is the deputy warden’s office?” Connie, who was wearing a blue technical jacket and a helmet, leaned against the corner of the wall and sighed a breath of relief as she hid in the shadows. After the footsteps had gone afar, she looked at the corridor that branched out in three directions with a confused expression.
“I am so tired… weak, pitiful, helpless… I want to give up so badly…” Connie mumbled with self-pity. “He said it was just next door, and it would only take a short time. But, he didn’t tell me where I should enter such a big house. I still have to climb over such a high wall…”
