This horrific cleaver-snatching battle continued all the way past midnight.
When Hadeng dug out the cleaver wrapped in the black cloth from the snow ecstatically, he removed a dim lightstick respectfully. The other seven experts, who looked equally horrible, tilted their heads up and howled at the same time before throwing up three mouthfuls of blood.
Hadeng tilted his head back and furiously cursed, “F*ck your mother!!!”
…
On the other side, Mag and Amy had already returned to Mamy Restaurant. They had a relaxing hot bath, and were now preparing to go to bed.
An elated Gina, who was wearing the school swimsuit and waiting at the bathroom’s door, came forward the moment Mag came out from it, and said, “Mr. Mag, the high priest has already found a way to connect Lantisde to Mamy Restaurant.”
“Oh?” Mag was surprised to hear that. He didn’t expect Lantisde to find the solution so soon.
“Mr. Mag gave the ability to breathe on land to 100-odd Lantisdean warriors previously, so the high priest let them explore and create an underwater tunnel leading to Chaos City without attracting the attention of other species. They are now able to travel from the sea realm of Lantisde to Chaos City’s moat. A trip round trip will only take three days,” Gina said.
“Although it is slower than using a flying steed, it’s quite good to have a method that won’t attract the attention of the other species.” Mag nodded. Ethnic wisdom was indeed a force to be reckoned with, especially with a race like Lantisde that had once flourished.
“The number one warrior of Lantisde will be delivering the shark’s fins to the restaurant once every three days to ensure a constant supply,” Gina said with a smile.
After hearing someone else was going to deliver the shark’s fins, Mag was surprised, and asked Gina, “Gina, a-are you going back then?”
“No. I can’t bear to leave Mr. Mag and the gang.” Gina shook her head. She grabbed hold of Mag’s arm and smiled sweetly. “I want to stay at the restaurant. I want to live with Mr. Mag and the rest.”
“Erm…” Mag hemmed. He was worried that Irina would smack him to death on the spot when she got back.
“Mr. Mag doesn’t want Gina to stay?” Gina asked with a hint of panic.
“No. Gina is an excellent employee who pacifies the children at the restaurant. Of course I would like you to stay if you are willing.” Mag shook his head rapidly.
“I will continue to work hard.” Gina smiled and hugged Mag before she turned to walk to her room. She halted when she reached her door. She said, “Mr. Mag can come and look for me anytime if you cannot sleep.”
“Cough…” Mag was almost choked to death by his own saliva. Why was this girl in a school swimsuit saying all this in the middle of the night?
“I have slept a lot during the day. If you can’t sleep, either, you can come and chat with me,” Gina added with a smile. Then, she flexed her hand at Mag like a kitten before going back to her room.
“It’s late in the night, so I’d better sleep.” Mag focused in front of him and walked past Gina’s room with a prim and proper expression. He lay on his bed and quickly fell asleep.
…
“Is Boss Mag still taking a day off today? I missed him so much that I couldn’t sleep yesterday. I can’t even survive one day without him.”
“Please maintain your decorum, Mister.”
“Haha. I didn’t expect my opponents to include men too. Public morals are degenerating with each passing day.”
Many customers had gathered at the entrance of Mamy Restaurant early in the morning. Many of them were pining for the food after Boss Mag suddenly went on a leave yesterday.
“The notice for the day off is still there. I wonder if Boss Mag is back already?” Harrison, who was the first in line, lamented. The cleaners didn’t come for breakfast today, so it would most probably be a wasted trip too.
It made people sad that it was closed for three consecutive days.
It was 7.30 am, the usual time for business soon. The restaurant was still quiet, so the customers left.
Mag slept till 9 am before he woke up. He managed to make up for his lost sleep for the later half of the night.
“I feel rather guilty to take another day off.” Mag sat up on his bed.
Amy also sat up in her small bed too. She turned her head, and piteously said to Mag, “Father, I was woken up by my hunger this morning.”
“Meow~” Ugly Duckling was standing on the floor with its two front paws at the foot of the bed, looking at Mag too.
“Then, could our little Amy please get up now, and Father will go and make you something delicious,” Mag said smilingly as he retrieved a set of black and red gothic lolita dress for Amy from the wardrobe. He added on a small black cape around her.
“I want to wear a nice bun on my head today,” Amy said, raising her hand.
“A bun? Okay.” Mag nodded as he took out a black rubber band from a small box. He combed Amy’s hair up and twisted it nimbly before securing it with the rubber band. A perfect bun was done.
“Have a look.” Mag passed a mirror to Amy.
“Wow. What a nice looking little bun. I want to eat it up,” Amy said happily before jumping up from the bed, and hugged Mag around his neck. Smiling, she said, “I have a father who can do anything.”
“I have a super adorable little baby.” Mag carried Amy smilingly. He put little boots for her before walking toward the bathroom. They went downstairs after washing up.
Gina was wiping the tables and chairs with a damp cloth when she heard the sounds at the stairs. She saw Mag coming down with Amy, who was hugging him tightly, in one arm and carrying Ugly Duckling in his other hand. His face with distinct features had a gentle smile.
It’s so touching~ Gina’s eyes lit up again. Mr. Mag always made people feel safe and comfortable.
“Gina, you haven’t had your breakfast too, right?” Mag asked Gina, who was in daze, smilingly.
“Ah? Yes, I have not eaten yet. But I am not hungry.” Gina was surprised, and then quickly shook her head.
“Growl.” Her tummy rumbled as soon as she finished talking. Her face became bright red instantly.
Amy slid down from Mag’s arms with a smile, and said, “Big Sister Gina is lying. Your tummy says it’s very hungry.”
“You two wait here. I will go make breakfast right now,” Mag said smilingly while putting Ugly Duckling on the counter. He took the apron next to the door and tied it around his waist before going into the kitchen.
Today’s breakfast was a set of Yangzhou fried rice. The warm fried rice would console a hungry stomach and fill the new day with energy.
“The restaurant is not opening for business today. Let’s go to the ice cream shop,” Mag said smilingly after eating breakfast.
