Chapter 1753: Me Indeed!
The moment Mag opened the door, Miya jumped in happily as she expectantly asked him, “Boss, can you tell what’s different about me!”
Miya sized Miya up. She was dressed in a maid’s uniform, still looking small and cute. Her energetic smile brought his spirits up immediately. His gaze paused at her chest for a while. The material seemed rather tight there. He hesitated for a while before saying, “You grew a little bigger?”
“I should be a little taller compared to yesterday, but that’s not the point. What other changes are there?” Yabemiya continued to probe.
Mag actually could already sense the strong giant dragon aura coming from Yabemiya which was similar to one of the two giant dragons who came yesterday for hot pot. His gaze landed on the golden necklace in front of her chest. The pendant part of the necklace was a golden dragon scale. The aura came from there.
“You became a little prettier,” Mag said with a smile.
“Really?” Yabemiya’s face reddened. An honest and upright man like Mag would only say the truth. He definitely would not lie.
However, she very quickly remembered that she was not asking Mag to acknowledge her looks. She quickly grabbed the necklace in front of her chest, and excitedly said, “I got myself a master yesterday. A very formidable master.”
“Master?” Mag was a little shocked. He knew that golden dragons wanted to bring Yabemiya back to Dragon Island, but did not expect the Golden Dragon Tribe’s chief to personally make Miya his disciple.
“Yes. My master said that he’s the chief of the Golden Dragon Tribe, and promised to give me 10 years to stay in Chaos City as a server,” Yabemiya said with a nod.
“Congratulations, Miya. You’ve found a place you belong.” Miya looked at Yabemiya with a smile.
“Thank you.” Yabemiya smiled. Her pigtails made her look energetic every day, but her eyes were moist. She suddenly pounced into Mag’s embrace as she choked up, and said, “Thank you, Boss.”
“You deserve all this.” Mag lowered his head, and could see the back of her head at his chest. He smiled and patted her back.
This young half-dragon had once fainted at his restaurant door from hunger. She had finally found a place she could belong to, and Mag sincerely felt happy for her.
After a while, Miya let go of Mag and took two steps back. Her face flushed red, and she did not dare to look at Mag in the eye. She looked down, and embarrassedly said, “I… I think I got a little too agitated…”
“It’s alright. No one saw it anyway.” Mag closed the restaurant door with a smile while heading to the kitchen, and said, “I need to host around 100 guests this morning at the same time. Other than ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’, we will be opening all food in our menu for them to order, so we have to finish all our preparatory work before eight.”
“That’s a lot of people!” Miya was a veteran staff member in the restaurant, and clearly knew how much work they had to do. She quickly caught up with Mag, and said, “Do you need me to do anything?”
“Bring a stool over, and sit at the door to watch,” Mag said with a smile as he took Fat Head Fish out from the knife rack.
“Please begin your performance.” Miya brought a stool over to the kitchen door, and motioned for Mag to begin.
Fat Head Fish moved like lightning, and all the ingredients flew around in the air, but landed neatly on different plates.
“Wow, my boss has such incredible knife skills!” Yabemiya gave a standing ovation in shock.
“That’s just normal operations.” Mag smiled. This is why you need an audience.
The ingredients were prepared very quickly. Mag started cooking some of the dishes which required cooking in advance like the red braised pork, congee with pork and century egg, tofu pudding, and more.
“What would you like to have?” Mag asked Miya, who was sitting at the door with a face full of admiration, as he finished his preparatory work.
Miya thought for a while, and replied, “Tofu pudding and youtiao.”
“Alright. I’ll make some for you when Amy and the rest are up,” Mag said with a smile and a nod.
“Alright.” Miya nodded, and placed the stool back where it was.
“Your master might be joining today’s meeting too.”
“Really?” Miya’s eyes lit up. She did not have much time to interact with her master yesterday, so it would be great if she could still see him today.
Amy woke up not long later. Everyone had breakfast, while Irina sat at the side with a cup of warm water. As the representative of the Night Elves, she would be dining with the other representatives later.
“Big Sister Irina, are you really not eating?” Amy dipped the youtiao in her hand, and fed it to Irina.
“Mm-hm. I’ll eat a while later.” Irina took a sip of water.
“This is a good idea. Otherwise, you would feel terrible just sitting there when everyone’s eating,” Mag said with a smile. Michael obviously used Mamy Restaurant as an icebreaker to put all the representatives, each harboring their own intentions, at a table together while distracting them a little.
“I can have a bowl of tofu pudding first,” Irina said as she crossed her arms in front of her chest elegantly.
“Give me a moment.” Mag walked into the kitchen, and brought out a bowl of sweet tofu pudding with him.

“The itinerary for the first day is actually Mamy Restaurant?! This city lord knows how it should be done!” Connie walked out of the city lord’s castle with the schedule in her hand as she mumbled to herself in surprise.
“I wonder if Boss Mag would have the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ ready in the morning.” A familiar voice came from beside Connie.
“Master!” Connie turned around to see Rex leaning against the wall at the side. She said in shock and surprise, “What are you doing here?”
“As the deputy warden of Bastie Prison, and also the only survivor who witnessed what happened at the Urba Tribe, I was also invited by Michael.” Rex pulled out an invitation, and waved it in the air.
“Why didn’t you come with me in that case?” Connie asked.
“To train you.”
“How’s it? I told you I can come to Chaos City alone,” Chaos City said smugly.
“Yes. It’s just a pity about those fellows who were waiting for you on the way. They waited in vain for the entire day, and had to be punished when they were back.” Rex had a sympathetic look on his face.
“Someone wanted to stop me?” Connie blinked. Smiling, she quickly said, “Actually, I’ve already predicted that, so I purposely went around them. This is the awareness of a leader. Me indeed!”
“Only you are capable of something like this.” Rex rolled his eyes. He did not know how he should comment on his disciple.
“Let’s go. Master, let’s have breakfast at the restaurant.” Connie pulled Rex’s sleeve with a smile as they walked towards a horse-drawn carriage at the side. The city lord’s castle had already prepared horse-drawn carriages for the various representatives.
