“Oh?” Mag looked at Rena in shock.

  “I should have settled all this by myself, but they……” Rena lowered her gaze apologetically.

  “Are they from the Marquis Family?” Marquis frowned.

  “It’s them all right. They said that the shop belonged to them, and even prevented us from going in.” Firis nodded her head angrily.

  “Isn’t the property deed with you? Why did they still say that the shop belonged to them?” Mag asked Rena.

  “They also have proof from the city lord’s castle that the shop belongs to the Marquis Family. I went over to the city lord’s castle with the property deed today, and they did not give me a concrete reply. They just told me to come back and wait.” Rena looked at Mag, and resolutely said, “I will settle this matter by appealing. I believe in the city lord’s castle and the law of Chaos City.”


  “Me too,” Mag said with a gentle smile. He looked at Rena’s hand, and rather coldly said, “However, since things are still unclear on the side of the city lord’s castle, and both sides have their proof, they’re in the wrong for occupying the restaurant, and even injuring you.”


  “It’s…… It’s just a small cut. It’s alright.” Rena shook her head. She was already used to all those small cuts and injuries, and did not really mind it, but Mag’s attitude made her feel warm and fuzzy inside. Yet, she did not wish to trouble him. This was something she was supposed to take care of.

  “Go in first. Princess Irina should have already arrived. Let her help you take a look at your wound. We’ll talk about everything else after lunch.” Mag opened the door to the restaurant, and motioned for Rena and Firis to enter.

  “Is Princess back as well?” Firis’s eyes lit up. She entered the restaurant quickly, and greeted Irina.

  Rena followed behind, and also greeted everyone.

  Mag first introduced everyone to Hannah, who just arrived at the restaurant. After that, he looked at Irina, who was rubbing Ugly Duckling’s chubby face, and said, “Princess Irina, please help to take a look at Rena’s hand.”


  “Rena’s hand?” Everyone turned to look at Rena.

  “What happened to Big Sister Rena? Did a baddie bully you?” Amy came up to Rena, and looked at her with a face full of concern. She clenched her little fist, and said, “If there is any, tell me, and I’ll help you wallop them.”


  “There’s a baddie who made use of the opportunity when everyone was not around to take over Rena’s shop……” Firis retold the story of how the Marquis Family occupied the shop.

  “These baddies!” Everyone was furious when they heard the story, and their hearts went out to Rena.

  “It’s alright. Look, it’s really just a very small cut.” Rena had no choice but to undo the bandage on her hand and show everyone the wound on her palm.

  It was a wound around two centimeters long. Although it was not a deep cut, the area was very red and swollen at the moment. A scab had not completely formed at the moment, so the wound looked very painful.

  “You were still making hot pot while you’re injured, right?” Mag asked as he looked at the swollen wound.

  “I was just mixing the soup base. I haven’t decided on the flavors yet.” Rena retracted her hand embarrassedly.

  “The wound might be small, but it’s really painful since it’s on your hand.” Irina looked at Amy, and said, “Little Amy, didn’t you learn healing magic?”


  “Yeah. I learned life magic’s healing techniques from Big Sister Irina, and also learned nature magic’s healing techniques from Big Sister Luna. If I use both of them together, the healing effects will be doubled.” Amy nodded as she went up to Rena, and said, “Big Sister Rena, give me your hand. I’ll treat it for you.”


  Rena saw that everyone was looking at her. She hesitated for a while before putting her hand out.

  Amy pulled her wand out, and started chanting a spell with her eyes closed.

  Everyone watched her curiously. Life magic was unique to elves, while nature magic was something only dryads could master. However, Amy had learned the healing techniques from both types of magic, and even came up with a way to combine both of them. Everyone was eager to see if the healing effects would really be doubled.

  As the chanting ended, Amy tapped her wand at Rena’s hand, and a green glow with golden hues landed on and enveloped it.

  The glow vanished as quickly as it appeared, and when everyone focused back on Rena’s hand, the wound had completely healed, leaving nothing behind—not even a scar. Even the old scars that Rena got from cooking in the past were all gone!

  “This……” Rena looked at her fair and tender left hand in surprise and amazement.

  “Wow. Little Amy’s healing magic is really impressive. The wound vanished instantly. There’s not even a scar left behind,” Miya exclaimed.

  “Nature magic and life magic blend perfectly together, there is indeed a multiplying effect.” Elizabeth was rather shocked. Amy was indeed the most talented magic caster she had ever seen.

  , Mag thought to himself. He knew about Amy learning healing magic, and was previously worried that she was unable to cope with it. He didn’t think that not only she had mastered them, she even created a way to blend them together without anyone teaching her how.

  However, she could even play with a blend of flames and ice. Combining the two different healing techniques did not seem like something to be shocked about.

  “The wound is treated, but can we just let the fellow who assaulted Rena off?” Irina’s lips curled upwards. “I heard that the four major families are wealthier than a country. I wonder if it’s true?”


  “I think only the Buffett Family could be considered wealthier than a country. The Marquis Family is just rich, but their safe would definitely not have a lack of money,” Mag said with a smile. He was well aware of what Irina had on her mind.

  “All of you go and take a rest first. I’ll make lunch, and after we’re done, we’ll go take a look. If we’re comparing the size of our fists, things would get interesting.” After saying that, Mag walked into the kitchen. They could not just let this matter slide. The shop was compensation for Rena. Since the Marquis Family was so shameless, he would not let them be.

  After lunch, everyone went out in a group to the hot pot restaurant 500 meters away.

  Amy carried Ugly Duckling in her arms, walking right at the front, and looking like the leader of the gang.

  “Say, do you think the woman would be back again? Young Master told us to stay out of trouble, but she keeps causing trouble. Do we still stop her?”


  “If she still doesn’t know what’s good for her, she can’t blame us for being rough. We’ve already told her that we’re from the Marquis Family. Isn’t she a fool if she still comes?”


  The two orcs huddled together in front of the hot pot restaurant, whispering as they warmed their hands with their breaths.

  Just then, a sweet voice shouted, “Hey, you two baddies! Are you the ones who bullied Big Sister Rena!?”


  Upon hearing that, the two orcs turned their heads, and were stunned to see a little half-elf girl standing by the door.

  “Who are you, kid? Go and play with the adults at home,” one of the orcs said as he waved his hand impatiently.
