“Wow, it smells so good! The kebabs look like they’re really delicious!” Amy looked at the kebabs over the fire with an expectant gaze.

  Ugly Duckling’s interest had also been piqued. Its ears perked up and it craned its neck, trying to identify the source of this alluring aroma.

  The sound of involuntary gulping began to undulate as the mercenaries stared at the kebabs on the roasting frame. They were struggling to suppress the urge to pounce on the kebabs like wild animals.

  “Alright, the first kebab will be for my adorable Little Amy.” Mag picked up a kebab from the middle and handed it to Amy with a smile.

  “Thank you, Father!” Amy’s eyes immediately lit up as she put Ugly Duckling onto the ground before joyfully accepting the kebab.

  “It’s very hot, so blow on it first before eating,” Mag cautioned.

  “Alright.” Amy nodded obediently as she blew on the kebab with a careful expression. She then opened her little mouth and bit down on the topmost cube of beef.

  All of the mercenaries looked on with bated breath. The succulent cube of beef was bit open, and Amy’s intricate features immediately lit up. Her bright blue eyes shimmered with joy as the indescribably delicious flavor exploded in her mouth. She quickly chewed on the beef before swallowing, leaving a trace of residual oil and sauce on the corners of her lips.

  “Gulp!”


  The sound of gulping was heard once again.

  Is it really that delicious? This is torture!! All of the mercenaries looked at each other with slightly awkward expressions, but they soon all turned to stare at Mag’s kebabs with yearning in their eyes.

  That little brat must be faking her reaction. It definitely doesn’t taste good. The mandarins brought to me by Master Evan are the most delicious things in this world. Eva faltered slightly upon seeing that, but she soon convinced herself that her mandarins were better. She placed a section of mandarin into her mouth, but was struck by the feeling that it seemed to be a little sour.

  Evan also wrenched his gaze away from Mag’s kebabs, and surreptitiously gulped as he also had some mandarin.

  “Come and have a kebab, everyone. The roasting will take some time, but these ones are ready.” Mag smiled as he distributed the kebabs to everyone; there was just enough for two per person. He also placed a kebab in a clean little bowl for Ugly Duckling, which was desperately crying for a taste, before putting a new batch of kebabs over the flames.

  “Oh my God! How could there be such delicious roast beef in this world?! It’s simply incredible!” Dennis bit off three cubes of beef in a single bite as he stared at the kebab in his hand with incredulity in his eyes.

  “This must be food for the gods! How could it be so delicious? How could roast beef be so tender? And this flavor is ridiculously good!” Sydney, who was perched on a tree branch, simply couldn’t stop eating. He closed his eyes to savor the taste and felt as if he were dreaming

  Scott and the others also wore similar expressions. Just one bit was enough for them to be completely immersed in the kebab’s delicious flavor. They found it incredible that a small beef kebab could hold such allure.

  Sivir looked at everyone before her gaze was also drawn to the kebab in her hand. She blew on it gently before biting off the top cube of beef. The beef was still a little hot, and she hadn’t even chewed yet, but the flavor of the sauce had already captivated her taste buds.

  She began chewing, and the delicious roast beef instantly melted in her mouth. The flavor of the marinating condiments had already been sealed into the beef, and it combined with the rich taste of the sauce to create an irresistible combination. Sivir couldn’t help but close her eyes in bliss as she savored the kebab.

  The rib-eye beef was extremely fresh and tender. The marbling didn’t make the beef excessively greasy. Instead, it simply made the texture even more tender, and seemingly gave the beef layers of flavors to savor. The sauce was very rich, but didn’t overpower the natural taste of the beef. Instead, it simply worked to bring out as much flavor from the beef as possible.

  Was it delicious? No! It was ridiculously delicious!

  Sivir felt as if she had been teleported to a large grassy plain. Herds of wild cows took leisurely strolls over the lush grass. There was a little girl sitting on a cow’s back and red-haired man carrying a long saber following along behind her. The little girl’s joyful giggles could be heard throughout the entire grassy plain, while the man wore a warm smile even though his face was riddled with scars.

  Night fell, and they set up a fire. The man began to roast large slabs of beef over the flames, while the little girl sat beside him with an expectant look. The man handed her a slab of slightly charred beef, and she devoured it with a joyful expression. That was the most delicious beef in this world.

  A tear slid down the corner of Sivir’s eye. She turned away and surreptitiously brushed the tear away. She looked at the kebab in her hand, and then at Mag and Amy, who were happily enjoying kebabs of their own. She could sense the aura of paternal love within the kebabs, and it struck her in the most delicate part of her heart.

  She exhaled gently as if she were blowing on the kebab, and a smile appeared on her face. She bit off another cube of beef and closed her eyes, basking in its delicious flavor as well as the paternal love that had been sorely missing from her life for many years.

  One kebab after another was fully cooked before being distributed to the eagerly waiting mercenaries. Blissful smiles appeared on everyone’s faces, and they couldn’t help but praise Mag for his brilliant cooking.

  Mag also wore a smile on his face. He was struck by a sense of accomplishment at the sight of everyone being won over by his cuisine. This wonderful feeling was something that he experienced every day in this world, but had been completely missing in his past life.

  “Try this kebab, Evan. It’s incredibly delicious.” Scott made his way over to the carriage and passed a kebab to Evan with a smile.

  “I won’t eat strange things like this.” Evan swatted the kebab aside with a dark expression. The kebab landed tip-first, pinning itself onto a large tree nearby.

  Scott knew that Evan was still in a foul mood from what had happened earlier, so he didn’t say anything. Instead, he offered the kebab in his other hand to Eva as he said, “Eva, would you like to have a taste?”


  “I definitely won’t eat anything made by that guy even if I starve to death! The mandarins picked by Master Evan are the most delicious things in this world!” Eva shook her head with a resolute expression as she cradled the mandarins in her hands.
