Chapter 2269: A Mesmerizing Contrast
Hearing the knocking on the door, Mag, who was keeping himself warm next to the table, got up to open the door.
He looked stunned when he saw the petite figure standing next to Xi at the door.
“How could it be her?!” Mag was filled with question marks.
He had never expected that the person driving the mech on the ice sheets in the extreme north and wanted to die together with the Great Old One was this little kitten?!
Miss Black Cat, Vicki, the maestro of the Black Cat Opera.
Vicki had a look of surprise and admiration at the same time. She was surprised when she saw Xi land the battleship at Mamy Restaurant, and her eyes lit up again when she saw the man who came out after Xi knocked on the door.
The man was tall and strapping. He was wearing a black-and-white chef’s suit. His handsome face and warm temperament attracted her attention.
Alex!
She had ascertained this man’s identity almost immediately. Only this man would have such an otherworldly temperament in this world.
She saw the restaurant behind him. The closed restaurant was still brightly-lit, but only one table was filled with all kinds of ingredients, it was as though he was waiting for the arrival of his guests.
…
There was no one else in the restaurant. No boss, no service staff. Only this man who was wearing the chef’s suit and welcoming them like the host.
“So… he’s also Mag?” Vicki was slightly taken aback. She felt that she had discovered some huge secret as she mumbled, “Mag Alex!”
Vicki wasn’t some innocent maiden who knew nothing. She was born into a top family in Underground City. She had received the best education since she was young, and had great wisdom.
She had collected some information about Alex’s identity recently. Alex’s detailed background was among them. Of course, it was mostly common knowledge, like Alex’s first name that was seldom mentioned: Mag.
And this name was very famous in the culinary world recently.
Mag, the chef of Mamy Restaurant. A man who was deemed to be the world’s top chef!
Alex, the number one powerhouse on the Norland Continent, the chief commander of the allied forces, the absolute main force that sealed the devil!
The two men who seemed to be totally unrelated, merged as one at this moment.
Mag and Alex were the same person.
Mag Alex.
Was this god-like man the top powerhouse on the Norland Continent or the top chef on the Norland Continent?
Vicki’s mouth got wider. She suddenly felt her so-called interesting life was nothing in front of this person.
During the time when Alex was missing, Mag even took part in the birthday banquet of the king of the Roth Empire and received the title of ‘the best chef of the banquet’.
This man who was once persecuted by the empire’s royalty, appeared in front of his enemies in that manner, and he won their respect and admiration with another method. Moreover, he didn’t do anything bad to the food to take his revenge.

What a dramatic story it was and what admirable behavior he had.
Vicki had witnessed his powerful strength before. His fight with the giant dragon was unforgettable.
What made Vicki even more curious was how did he master his amazing culinary skills? Perhaps, he was also a time manager?
“Come in.” Mag quickly controlled his expression and stepped out of their way with a smile.
Although he was shocked that the person who came was Vicki, the situation was still manageable.
Anyway, she still didn’t know he was Hades. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have this expression right now.
Initially, he was still thinking about how to probe this newcomer. Now, it seemed like he could simply skip over this step.
Xi saw Mag and Vicky’s changes in expressions and felt that it was funny, but she didn’t show any emotions on her face. She strode past Mag and entered the restaurant, walking towards the table with the stove.
The restaurant was very warm and a liquor aroma was in the air. It was the taste of warmth. There was a rich aroma in the faint intoxication.
The aroma came from the bottle that was on the grill. The red liquid was already boiling. It was a combination of the aroma of spices and the aroma of fruits. They created an exquisite aroma together.
“H-hello, I’m Vicki.” Vicki introduced herself to Mag cautiously with a blush on her face. Her hands at the sides of her body were clenching her clothes subconsciously. She didn’t know where to look and it was as though she was a fan who was meeting her idol for the first time.
“Hello, Miss Vicki. Please come in.” Mag was slightly perplexed. The girl that he knew was rather outgoing. Why was she behaving so coyly now?
Vicki nodded and then entered.
“Smells go good!” The liquor’s aroma in the air instantly attracted her attention. Her gaze instinctively landed on the boiling glass wine flagon on the grill.
She had been drinking with Eiffie frequently. Even though her alcohol tolerance wasn’t high and she would get drunk easily, she gained a lot of knowledge about alcoholic beverages.
This wine… was excellent!
Although she had never seen such a drinking method in Rodu, it wasn’t a rare method in Underground City.
Warming up the red wine in winter was a very common practice, especially in cold places. It could ward off the cold. Boiling it together with spices would make the wine even more fragrant.
Vicki was considered a knowledgeable person, but she was still impressed when she smelled the liquor’s aroma.
The brewers at Underground City had already researched the composition of alcoholic beverages’ molecules and perfected them through all kinds of technological methods. They could already control the absolute standard of the alcoholic beverages’ taste.
Perhaps, it was just because of this absolute standard that the alcoholic beverages had lost their souls.
Meanwhile, she smelled a soul in the red wine that was boiling on the stove.
There weren’t too many high standards from the machinery. Perhaps, it was more rugged, but it brought an unusual form of surprise. Together with the perfectly added spices and fruits, it was an excellent wine that made people slightly intoxicated as soon as they smelled it.
“Have a seat and a glass of wine to warm up. The grill is already hot and it’s perfect for grilling meat now.” Mag closed the door and walked over. He picked up the flagon and poured two glasses of wine for Vicki and Xi.
The red wine liquid swirled gently in the glass and the heat brought the aroma up.
“Thank you.” Vicki sat next to Xi and received the glass with both her hands. She already felt very blissful.
Alex actually personally poured wine for her! Wasn’t it awesome?!
Xi nodded and took the glass too. She instinctively swirled it.
Mag placed a few beef kebabs on the grill and the meat made a sizzling sound. Oil seeped out from the fatty beef and glistened. The aroma of the beef began to spread just after flipping them a few times.
Vicki held onto the gass and looked at Mag, who was flipping the kebabs in a daze. This man, who flew in the sky and slayed dragons, was actually so gentle and careful when he was flipping the kebabs. This was such a mesmerizing contrast.
