Chapter 1773: The Bad Beating From The Devil
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
After changing into his chef’s suit, Mag had transformed back into the most popular ma— male chef among the young ladies in Chaos City.
Right now, Mag could not really tell if he was playing the role of Alex or playing the role of Mag. However, judging from current circumstances, his acting was superb.
As for why he didn’t choose to sit with the rest like a big boss for the meeting, and chose to busy himself in the kitchen…
It was all because of the reservation fees— no, passion. Yes. It was the sense of achievement when the big shots from the different races lost control of themselves in front of the delicacies.
He could not kill Josh for the time being. If Josh were to die in Chaos City, the racial war might be brought forward.
The biggest threat that the Norland Continent was facing currently was the uncertainties. The Great Old Ones hidden in unknown places were just like ticking time bombs that could explode at any time. It was the kind of explosion that’d destroy the entire continent.
As for Josh, letting him live for a while more was not of any threat to Mag.
Since ancient times, the royal family had been the most heartless. If there had been even a single mistake during the assassination on that rainy night, he would not have landed in this plight.
Mag had never intended to let any single one of the father-and-sons off.
It was already 10.30 am. Mag looked at Irina, who was looking out of the window thoughtfully, and turned to walk downstairs.
It would naturally not be appropriate for Mag to appear in the restaurant straight away. Therefore, he flipped over a wall at the back, and cycled leisurely back to the restaurant. Yabemiya and Rena had already been waiting at the restaurant entrance, on time to prepare for lunch.
“Mr. Mag. Are you preparing for lunch now?” Dicus asked Mag with a smile.
“Yes. I have to do some preparations beforehand.” Mag nodded with a smile.
Dicus let everyone into the restaurant. This was communicated beforehand.
Mag and the rest walked in, and Vanessa, who was reading a gourmet magazine by the window, stood up excitedly and walked over as he looked at Mag expectantly, and asked, “Boss Mag, is the entire menu available for ordering this afternoon? Including beef and mutton kebab?”
“Yes.” Mag nodded.
“That’s great. I was reading Randy’s column, and it’s already making me salivate. I must try the taste of this mutton kebab,” Vanessa said happily.
Mag glanced at Vanessa’s innocent smile. She would probably be the most worry-free foodie representative among all the representatives. However, that was also a good thing as she should not worry about such things. It was bliss to be able to become a happy foodie.
“Amy! Little Amy?!” The moment Mag stepped into the kitchen, he heard a familiar voice from the door. Krassu had already walked in as he called out with a bright smile.
“Little Amy isn’t even in the restaurant.” Urien followed behind. He swept a glance across the restaurant, and appeared rather disappointed.
“So it’s the two masters. The city lord’s castle has reserved the entire restaurant today, so Amy went to her friend’s to play,” Mag said without waiting for them to ask.
“I see.” Krassu was a little disappointed. He initially wanted to give Little Amy a surprise.
“It’s definitely not a surprise to suddenly see your teacher appear at your house when you’re on a holiday. It’s a shock,” Babla said softly as she walked in.
“I didn’t give her holiday assignments…” Krassu pressed his lips together.
“Boss, my sisters, I’m back!” Babla did not reply. Instead, she opened her arms wide, and ran towards Miya.
“Babla!” Yabemiya looked at Babla, who had not been in touch with them for days, with pleasant surprise.
The young lady that was refined and well-put-together now looked as though she had just crawled out of a mine. Her hair was in a mess, and her clothes were also dirty, giving one a rude shock.
Seeing everyone’s shocked expression, Babla quickly halted and glanced at her clothes. She embarrassedly said, “I haven’t showered for too long. I can’t take it anymore.”
Yabemiya went up and held Babla’s hand with a face full of concern as she asked, “Babla, where have you been all this while? If you were kidnapped, blink.”
“No, I went to do something big.” Babla shook her head. She looked at Mag, and said, “Boss, can I borrow the bathroom?”
“Go ahead. I’ll pass you some clean clothes.” Mag nodded with a smile. There was no reason for him to reject Babla on account of her days of hard work deciphering the spells in the underground cave.
“Alright!” Babla rushed upstairs happily.
After removing her dirty clothes, turning on the tap, and feeling the hot water rain down on her, Babla let out a long, relaxed sigh. It was the perfect way to soothe her tired body.
“I’ve placed the clothes outside. Take a bath after your shower. Remember to come down to eat in a while. I’ll be preparing some extra kebabs for you.” Mag’s voice came from outside.
“Sure!” Babla replied happily. She looked at the bathtub that was filling up automatically. This was such lavish treatment.
Mag went downstairs again. This time, Michael had led the various representatives back to the restaurant.
However, compared to their bright appearance when they left, the various representatives were all in a rather sorry state now. Their faces were full of worries.
Auster, who had lost an arm, sat with a long face. His wound was no longer bleeding. However, he was only left with one arm for the rest of his life since his arm had been eaten up by the octopus monster, and he could not grow a new arm. His strength would definitely decrease.
Franklin did not appear too well, either. His injury was only slightly better compared to Auster’s. His front and back had been badly beaten by the devil, and he did not feel too well. It would take some recuperation before he could recover.
“Big Brother Josh, are you injured? Did you guys get attacked by something?” Vanessa could tell the atmosphere was rather strange, so she inquired with Josh, who appeared rather pale, softly.
“Don’t worry. It’s just a small injury.” Josh smiled at Vanessa, but did not fill her in about what had happened.
“What happened to them?” Yabemiya asked softly in the kitchen. These people were the most formidable group on the Norland Continent. Why did they get hurt?
Gina shook her head in bewilderment as well.
“Just do what you’re supposed to do, and don’t say anything extra,” Mag said softly.
Yabemiya quickly shut her mouth, and brought out the plates.
“Everyone has seen the situation. I believe all of you know very well how serious this is. Right now, we urgently need to decipher the remaining spells. The giant dragons and Chaos City’s spell formation masters are at their wits’ end. Now, we can only see if there are any spell formation masters in the various races who have studied ancient books and can decipher the spells,” Michael told the various representatives in a solemn tone.
