Chapter 1742 - She Took Half A Step Back, Is She Serious?
Chapter 1742: She Took Half A Step Back, Is She Serious?
“Have you been in contact with that child lately?” Louis asked Jinx in the horse-drawn carriage sent by the city lord’s castle.
“I left her with my contact, but she has never contacted me, nor has she come to look for me at Dragon Island.” Jinx shook his head. He rather spiritlessly said, “Maybe Dragon Island isn’t very much attractive compared to that restaurant.”
Louis frowned, and was increasingly puzzled. “What kind of background did that restaurant come from that even Dragon Island cannot compare to it?”
“It’s not the background. You’ll understand in a bit.” Jinx shrugged. It was a little difficult to explain.
“If someone dares to stop the descendants of our Golden Dragon Tribe, I will not let him go,” Louis declared coldly.
Jinx blinked and did not speak.
The horse-drawn carriage came to a stop, and the coachman said, “Sirs, we’re at Mamy Restaurant.”
“Uncle, this is Chaos City, and we’re guests. Whatever happens, please try to endure. After all, we’re here to close the deal. It’s not too good to make things turn nasty with the host,” Jinx reminded him before they got off.
“Mm-hmm,” Louis replied. Now that they were facing a strong common enemy, they really could not offend Chaos City, as it wouldn’t help everyone come to a common consensus.
“Let’s go take a look at this unique restaurant.” Jinx got off the horse-drawn carriage first.
Louis followed behind. He frowned when he saw the long line at the restaurant’s entrance. “What are they doing?”
“They are lining up to go in,” Jinx said matter-of-factly. He had already seen such a sight when he came previously.
“You still have to line up and wait for a meal? I am from the mighty Golden Dragon Tribe…” Louis said unhappily.
“Even the city lord has to go to the back of the line obediently,” Jinx said with a shrug.
“Who exactly is the owner of this restaurant? Is this restaurant opened by some old monster?” Louis was even more baffled as he looked at the grand restaurant door with a frown.
“That’s not it. The owner of this restaurant is just an ordinary human.” Jinx shook his head.
“A normal human?” Louis raised his brow.
“But his daughter is quite impressive. She’s the disciple of Krassu and Urien,” Jinx replied.
“I have some recollection of this. That man is just known because of his daughter, and he dares to make Michael line up and wait outside?” Louis was still puzzled.
“You might not believe this, but most of the people who line up here are willing to do so. Besides, the restaurant has yet to start its operation. These people came early to line up. They are customers who are worried there won’t be seats left,” Jinx explained.
“Willingly?” Louis sized up the customers lining up. Many of them were rather strong people of various races, and they did not seem unhappy about lining up. It did seem like the atmosphere was rather pleasant.
“Yes. The culinary skills of the restaurant owner are really unrivaled in the whole of Norland Continent. You’ll understand once you’ve tried the food,” Jinx said with a smile.
“Heh. Human food isn’t to the taste of us giant dragons.” Louis pressed his lips in disdain.
“Don’t be too hasty to conclude so. This line seems a little shorter. Why don’t we line up here today and have hot pot?” Jinx walked over to the line at the side, and saw Louis still standing in place. He softly said, “Don’t you want to see the child? You won’t be able to see her standing there.”
“Alright. For the sake of that child, I’ll go in and take a seat.” Louis followed Jinx to the end of the line. He squinted and looked at the customers standing in front of him, and pressed his lips together in disdain. They were just a bunch of fellows he could kill in a single breath.
What a rare sight. Jinx, who was standing behind Louis, tried his best to hold his laughter back.
“Oh, we’re late today. I guess we won’t get to have the tofu pudding.”
Harrison and Gjerj jumped off the horse-drawn carriage, and sighed when they saw the long line at the restaurant entrance.
“We haven’t had hot pot for quite a few days. Why don’t we have hot pot tonight?” Gjerj suggested.
“That’ll do too.” Harrison nodded. He walked over to the line for the designated hot pot area.
The line got longer, and the more Louis waited, the more impatient he got.
As the chief of the Golden Dragon Tribe, the mightiest beings with the top powerhouses, he was actually lining up with a bunch of commoners for food. This was really…
“Welcome to Mamy Restaurant.” Before Louis could throw his temper, the restaurant door, which had been closed, suddenly opened. A young human walked out and greeted the customers with a smile.
The line suddenly started moving, and the customers entered orderly as they greeted the young man warmly.
“Uncle, the door’s open. Let’s go,” Jinx reminded.
“Mm-hmm.” Louis retracted his gaze, and moved forward with the line. He would not take it to heart for the time being for the sake of that child.
However, the moment Louis and Jinx got to the door, they were stopped by a lady.
Yabemiya smiled, and said to the two of them, “I’m sorry, Sirs, the designated hot pot area is already full. If you don’t mind, you could take a seat at that four-seater over there. That’s the only table left.”
“You’re making us sit outside?” Louis frowned before he even saw who was speaking.
“Uncle, this is that child,” Jinx reminded him softly.
Louis looked at Yabemiya, and his eyes lit up instantly. He could not help but exclaim, “What a pure bloodline!”
Yabemiya took half a step backward subconsciously. She recognized Jinx, but was shocked by the other man’s expression.
She took half a step back. Is she serious? Louis frowned. He was the most respected chief and elder of the Golden Dragon Tribe. Usually, the youngsters would be full of smiles when they saw him.
What’s Louis doing here? Elizabeth, who was standing at the back, saw Louis, and her expression changed. She wanted to go up, but hesitated, and ultimately did not go. The Golden Dragon Tribe probably would not hurt Miya. However, if she appeared too close to Miya in front of them, she might bring trouble to Miya.
“Miya, we would like to have a private conversation with you,” Jinx told Miya with a smile.
“Mm-hmm. We intend to bring you home,” Louis added with a nod.
“I’m sorry. I am working now, and I do not have the time to talk to you.” Miya shook her head slightly, and put on a smile again. “Please take a seat quickly. There are customers waiting behind.”
