“Oh?”


  Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard Firis give such a high review. The new product that Mag was making seemed to be very delicious.

  “It’s indeed an unforgettable smell.” Camilla diced the last green beans into rice grain-sized pieces before removing the short and narrow blades on her fingers, and said to Mag, “My work is done. I’m leaving now.”


  “Why don’t you leave after lunch?” Mag asked.

  “No. I don’t think I will like the taste,” Camilla answered very decisively, and began to remove her apron.

  “Huh?”


  Everyone began to look at Camilla with a perplexed look. Firis was heaping praises on the new product, but Camilla didn’t seem to like it. She was even unwilling to stay for lunch. An incident like this had never happened before.

  Such a huge contrast was befuddling.

  Ding!

  Right then, the reminder chime of the oven sounded, and Mag opened the oven’s door.

  A strong aroma rushed out together with the heat, and went toward the restaurant’s entrance.

  “Wow! It smells great!!!” Amy’s eyes lit up, and she stared at the oven in surprise.

  “What a weird smell. I can’t describe it, but it’s just so weird.” Babla covered her nose and frowned.

  All of them had different expressions. Although they weren’t too exaggerated, they were all staring at the oven with a mildly shocked face. What was this smell?!

  Meanwhile, Camilla instantly disappeared from the kitchen. Only the apron was falling to the floor gradually. She was already standing at the restaurant’s door and prepared to leave.

  “Wait a minute,” Mag called out and walked toward Camilla.

  Camilla halted her steps as she turned to look at Mag with furrowed eyebrows. She held her breath at the same time.

  Mag came to Camilla, and smilingly said, “Leave after you have lunch.”


  “Ha. I will never touch that weird stuff.” Camilla had a “I would rather die than submit” expression.

  Mag got close to Camilla, and whispered next to her ear, “Last night, as I was recording my handsomeness with the photostone, I accidentally recorded some weird images too. The taste of beef cubes wrapped in lettuce should be rather good, right?”


  Camilla’s eyes immediately widened, and she stared at Mag who was smiling. But in her eyes, there was a hint of treachery in his smile.

  “Leave after you have your lunch. I have included your portion for lunch,” Mag asked again with a smile.

  “Despicable! Shameless! Jerk!!!” Camilla whispered and stomped her foot angrily as she clenched her teeth. She walked back to the kitchen reluctantly.

  She hadn’t expected Mag to take advantage of her moment of weakness. He even took pictures of her eating grass with the photostone. If that got out, her reputation would be destroyed.

  Mag cocked an eyebrow. It was fine she skipped the durian, but she got to try the durian pizza.

  Everyone could sense that weird smell. Even though it wasn’t very strong, it was indeed very weird and very dissuasive. They were all puzzled why the new product was giving out such a weird smell.

  “Have a seat,” Mag said to everyone before walking to the kitchen. He put on the gloves, and then removed four 12-inch pizzas and one small 6-inch pizza. He cut them up equally with a knife.

  Then, he carried the tray over to the big circular table, and placed the pizza in the center.

  There was a layer of golden durian on the giant pizza. Its surface was a little crusty and golden brown due to the baking. The aroma of the butter, together with the aroma of the durian, was spreading everywhere along with the heat.

  “Gulp.” Amy swallowed. She was already salivating.

  Firis was also staring at the durian pizza in astonishment. She didn’t know that the delicious durian could be made into such an exquisite and beautiful food. It looked just like a cake but much shorter.

  Everyone was amazed by the look of the durian pizza. The aroma of the durian and butter mixed together was much milder than the aroma of the durian alone. To everyone present, the aroma was only mildly weird.

  “Are we eating this for lunch today?” Irina came down and looked at the five durian pizzas on the table. She frowned a little as she looked at Firis with doubt.

  “This is the durian pizza, my new product. Please appraise it.” Mag nodded with a smile.

  “Princess, this is the durian pizza,” Firis repeated to Irina again.

  “Therefore, you were eating this durian earlier?”


  “Yes.” Firis swiftly nodded, feeling acquitted.

  “It was indeed a very weird smell.” Irina sat next to Amy with furrowed brows.

  Amy tilted her head and asked Mag with glowing eyes, “Adults eat the big pizzas, while the child eats the small pizza, right?”


  “Yes. This small pizza is specially prepared for Amy.” Mag nodded. He reached out to place that small 6-inch pizza in front of Amy.

  “This is fantastic. Then I’m going to start eating now.” Amy’s eyes lit up as she reached out to grab a piece of triangular-shaped pizza. Long strings of cheese were pulled out as she grabbed the pizza. The durian’s flesh was almost fused together with the pizza.

  Amy lifted that piece of pizza up high as she used her mouth to catch those long strings of cheese. She was eating the stringy cheese like a lamb before taking a big bite of the pizza.

  “Mmm!”


  Amy let out a soft sigh, and then continued to chew on the pizza happily. She had a blissful smile on her face as if she was eating sweets. She immediately took another bite after she swallowed. The long strings of cheese were pulled out again, and it was tempting to sever them. Amy’s eyes lit up. She quickly swallowed the pizza, and continued to nibble on the cheese as if she was playing an interesting game.

  Everyone’s throats couldn’t help but move when they watched Amy eating the pizza happily.

  As expected, Amy was Mag’s best partner. No matter what food it was, as long as she tried it, it would feel very scrumptious.

  “Help yourselves.” Mag put on the disposable gloves and picked up a piece of pizza. The long strings of cheese looked very enjoyable, and the shape and color had both reached the stage of perfection.

  This was a real tip-top durian pizza!

  Mag opened his mouth and took a big bite of the pizza.

  The aroma of the durian and the butter filled up his mouth instantaneously.

  The slightly toasted crust collided with the smooth and soft durian fillings in between the teeth. They seemed like a perfect match in that instant, and brought upon an extremely decadent feast to the brain and the taste buds.

  Mag felt as if he had fallen into a durian’s encirclement. That was a swamp which had a boundless attractive force that made one want to remain submerged in it.
