Chapter 1754: I, The Invincible, Beautiful Young Lady!
This last-minute meeting, which was started by the dragon tribe with Chaos City as the host city, might not appear formal enough, but was still treated very seriously by the various races. At least, that was how the representatives saw it.
The horse-drawn carriages from the city lord’s castle quickly formed a long line in front of Mamy Restaurant.
The various representatives alighted from the horse-drawn carriages, and were rather puzzled when they saw the tightly shut restaurant door.
“What’s going on? City Lord Michael told us to come here, but we’re not allowed to go in?” Auster said unhappily as he alighted from his horse-drawn carriage.
Dicus walked over with a smile, and explained, “My apologies, Chief Auster. There are five minutes left to the set time to enter the restaurant. Besides, the other representatives are still on their way here. Please wait for a moment.”
“Boss Mag is someone who follows the rules, and is a very punctual person, unlike someone else,” Connie said as she jumped off from her horse-drawn carriage.
“You!” Auster swept her a deathly cold glance.
“I, the invincible, beautiful young lady!” Connie said fearlessly as she inched towards Rex.
The orcs around Auster stepped over, and some had already pulled out their weapons. Suddenly, the atmosphere grew tense.
“Forget it.” Auster raised his hand to stop the orcs. He glanced at Connie coldly, and said, “Although I am rather shocked to see you at Chaos City, this meeting is very important to the interests of all the orcs. I hope you can make the correct decision.”
“In that case, you should give up the thought of starting a war as soon as possible. The orcs do not need war, and would not obtain any interests that they want from war. The only interest in war is your own interest,” Connie mocked.
“Very well. I hope you can still say that the next time I meet you.” Auster laughed angrily.
“Are you a fool? You need me to repeat the same thing to you?” Connie looked at him as though he was a fool.
“Hmph!” Auster snorted, and walked in another direction.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Rex patted Connie’s stiff shoulder.
“Whew…” Connie let out a sigh of relief. She moved her body that was stiff from the nerves. This was the big bad boss that she had only dared to peek at in the past. Now, she actually mocked him in his face, and she could not help but feel a little proud as she asked, “Master, wasn’t I impressive?”
“It’s alright.” Rex nodded perfunctorily.
“I am somebody now. I’d better watch my image. After all, we orcs are the representative of loyalty. We can’t be despised.” Connie adjusted her clothes, and put her arms behind her back as she looked left and right like an experienced leader. She saw many legendary characters from the various tribes, and could not help but be in awe silently.
Two horse-drawn carriages pulled up at the restaurant’s door. Josh alighted from the horse-drawn carriage, and looked at the tightly shut door, as well as the various representatives standing in front of the door, and frowned. He thought unhappily to himself, Could Chaos City be trying to show us who’s boss?
“Wow! City Lord Michael is really sincere! He actually reserved the entire Mamy Restaurant. Today is the restaurant’s off day. I wonder how much the city lord paid,” Vanessa exclaimed in shock the moment she alighted from the horse-drawn carriage.
Vanessa was excited. She kept making sure with Dicus, asking, “Would Mamy Restaurant be providing all three meals today? Is Boss Mag making them personally? He’s not just providing the venue, right?”
“Yes. As host for today’s meeting, Mamy Restaurant would be providing the venue and all three meals,” Dicus said with a smile.
“That’s great!” Vanessa jumped for joy. However, she could quickly feel the gazes on her, and restrained herself. After all, she was currently representing the Roth Empire. While she was happy, she would still have to watch her behavior.
“Is this the restaurant that you have been going on about?” Josh asked with a smile.
“Yes, yes. Besides, Big Brother Josh, you know the owner of this restaurant. It’s that chef whom you recommended for Royal Father’s birthday banquet, the one who was named the best chef,” Vanessa said with a nod.
“So it’s him.” Josh fell deep in thought, and quickly remembered Mag. He did make very impressive dishes.
“Yes. Boss Mag’s food is really good. Red braised pork, beef kebab, spicy grilled fish, durian pizza, tofu pudding, spicy crayfish, Peking duck…” Vanessa listed, making the people who were listening nearby swallow their saliva, and reducing their unhappiness for being locked outside.
“Andre really doesn’t give a sh*t about the other races seeing how he sent two kids over,” Auster interrupted Vanessa coldly.
Josh instinctively pulled Vanessa behind him. He looked at Auster with a smile, and said, “Royal Father is busy with the country’s affairs, and could not make time to attend this meeting. Therefore, he sent me and Princess Vanessa, together with President Richard, over to join the meeting, which shows how much importance the Roth Empire has placed on this meeting. I wonder what made Chief Auster say what you said?”
Richard and two other 10th-tier powerhouses took a step forward to protect Josh and Vanessa on both sides. They already had their hands on their weapons, including magic caster’s staff and longsword.
The Roth Empire and the Twilight Forest were next to each other. There had been a war going on for years, and they did not have an amicable relationship.
Meanwhile, for the orcs, the Aug Tribe was the one who incited the conflicts between the other tribes and the Roth Empire. The grudges between both sides went way back, and no one was willing to back down. The atmosphere tensed up instantly.
Dicus watched as his head began to ache. Mamy Restaurant was chosen precisely to prevent this type of conflict from happening. However, he did not expect it to happen before they even entered the restaurant. This was not something he could handle.
“Why, the door’s not open yet? It seems like everyone’s a little early.” Just then, there came a bright vice. Michael came over on his black horse. He got off the horse, and stood right between the orcs and the Roth Empire’s representatives. He looked at Auster with a smile, and said, “Chief Auster, long time no see.”
“Michael, long time no see.” Auster restrained himself a little, and raised his hand to signal the orcs to back down.
“Prince Josh, Princess Vanessa, and President Richard, hello.” Michael turned and greeted the representatives from the Roth Empire.
“Hello, Sir.” Vanessa lifted her skirt and curtseyed, full marks for manners.
“Sir, my royal father asked me to send his greetings on his behalf to you,” Josh said with a nod.
“Hello, Sir.” Richard nodded calmly.
The tense atmosphere between both parties eased, and both sides separated on account of the host.
“The representatives of the elves are here.” Just then, three horse-drawn carriages pulled up along the street. The one leading was a lavish blue crystal horse-drawn carriage. A handsome elf was guiding four pure white pegasuses as they pulled the horse-drawn carriages over.
“Princess Irina is here too!” Very quickly, someone noticed the purple-striped griffin flying in the sky, and standing on the back of the griffin was a white silhouette.
