Mag went out to run three errands.

  He went to check out the factories in the north of the city. The textile factory’s operation was normal, and the brewery’s construction was wrapping up. Hannah was at the construction site every day to make sure that the brewery was built completely according to her ideas. She already couldn’t wait to see the rum bursting out of the new brewing machine.

  Then, Mag went to the Blue Suede Fashion shop. He drank afternoon tea with Miss Gloria, and talked about life and ambitions.

  When it was about time, Mag rode his bicycle to fetch Amy home for dinner.

  “Mr. Mag always gives people a sense of leisure.” Gloria stood at the second floor’s window, and looked at the figure that was slowly riding away on his bicycle with a faint smile and a hint of blush.

  “Miss, the Chaos City’s sales briefing was sent back. Do you want to read it now or later at night?” Mars’ voice appeared behind her.

  “Give it to me.” Gloria’s expression became cool and aloof immediately as she turned to take the sales briefing that had just arrived. It was time to be a career woman.

  Time wasn’t a luxury for her, either. Grandmother had been bringing Gloria’s aunt and her two daughters to plead in front of Grandfather every day. She had to ensure Cyril lost the chance to be the successor forever before Grandfather changed his mind.

  ***

  “Father, did you know that Daphne’s grandpa brought us to catch bunnies today? We caught a lot of bunnies, and they are so cute.” Amy sat in the bicycle’s backseat, holding a small cage. There was a wild gray and white rabbit in it.

  “So, are you going to keep this little bunny?” Mag asked smilingly.

  “Meow~” Ugly Duckling, which was having intermittent motion sickness, poked its head out of the bicycle’s basket, and looked at Amy concernedly.

  “Daphne’s Grandpa said that this bunny is already fully grown. It is no longer a little bunny,” Amy said.

  “So?”


  “S-so… there’s no need to keep it any longer.” Amy pondered seriously for a while before saying, “We could roast it, cook it, or deep-fry it. It will be very delicious.”


  Ugly Duckling scratched its head with its paw and pondered. Then, it suddenly widened its eyes as if it finally realized something.

  Ugly Duckling lay back into the basket again, and wallowed in its sad dizziness.

  “This is a good idea.” Mag nodded with a smile. Roast rabbit, rabbit stew, diced chili rabbit, Mala rabbit head… tsk.

  His “tear” couldn’t help but drip from the corner of his mouth when he thought that such a cute rabbit was gonna be eaten.

  Mag brought Amy back to the restaurant, and got past the security checks smoothly.

  All the representatives, who were in a heated argument, turned to look at the father and daughter who just came in.

  Suddenly, they began to feel hungry.

  What an amazing power. This chef actually controlled the tempo of this meeting!

  “Little Amy!” Krassu immediately stood up with a smile when he saw Amy.

  There was a hint of a smile on Urien’s face too. However, in order to maintain his great magic caster’s demeanor, he didn’t get up quickly.

  “Master Krassu, Master Urien.” Amy also skipped over happily when she saw her two masters. She hugged their thighs separately before she smilingly said, “Let me introduce them to all of you. These two are my masters.”


  All the representatives twitched their lips. The girl was young, but she sure knew whose thighs to hug.

  Now, everyone on the Norland Continent knew that they couldn’t offend this little girl.

  Mag went back to the kitchen self-consciously, and began to prepare dinner for all the representatives.

  The various representatives, who were discussing how to resolve the devil’s problem, all began to flip through the menu and consider what to eat for dinner.

  ?Michael chuckled inwardly. His gaze swept through the menu as he seriously considered if he should eat grilled fish or braised chicken and rice.

  The Racial Meeting ended at 9 pm.

  “This restaurant is really awesome.”


  “I enjoyed my meal so much that I forgot what I was here for.”


  “Are we still having the meeting here tomorrow?”


  All the representatives patted their round tummies and left the restaurant, rather looking forward to their next meals.

  “A day like this is so fulfilling.” Vanessa followed Josh into the horse-drawn carriage as she lamented. She had hot pot again for dinner tonight. It was so satisfying.

  “Vanessa, you will return to Rodu with President Richard early tomorrow morning,” Josh said seriously to Vanessa.

  “Ah?” Vanessa was slightly stunned. She immediately shook her head. “No. I tried so hard to come to Chaos City. How could I just return after only staying for one day?”


  “This isn’t a joking matter. That devil is very close to Chaos City, and now we’re not sure if those formation masters have the ability to seal it again. Chaos City is the most dangerous place now, so you have to return to Rodu. Tomorrow I will ask Uncle Abraham to go back with you,” Josh said gravely in a stronger tone of voice.

  This was the first time Vanessa saw Josh talk to her like this, and she slightly deflated. She hesitantly said, “But… aren’t all the races going to send out their powerhouses? Can’t we defeat that devil like that?”


  “You can’t even imagine its power.” Josh shook his head, and his face suddenly turned pale. He grabbed the carriage cabin instinctively.

  “Big Brother Josh, are you alright?” Vanessa looked at Josh nervously.

  “I’m fine. It’s just a small injury.” Josh shook his head slightly as he fixed his gaze at Vanessa. “However, you must return tomorrow. Otherwise, I can’t answer to Royal Father if anything happens to you.”


  Vanessa hesitated for a moment before nodding, and softly replied, “Alright, I’ll go home then.”


  “Good.” Josh reached out to pat her head. “After this matter is over, I’ll bring you back to Mamy Restaurant for you to eat to your heart’s content.”


  Vanessa’s eyes lit up, and she looked into Josh’s eyes. “You said that, so don’t lie to me!”


  “I will be a puppy if I lied to you.” Josh nodded smilingly. He looked at Vanessa with an indulgent gaze.

  The horse-drawn carriage stopped at the city lord’s castle, and Josh alighted calmly before returning to his room.

  After he went into his room, the anti-surveillance spell formation that he brought along with him at all times was activated, Josh couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blackish red blood. His already pale complexion became as white as a sheet of paper. He stumbled two steps forwards and sat down by bracing himself against the table. He then panted harshly.

  He took out a small bottle and removed its cork. He poured out a bunch of little blue pills, and fed them into his mouth with trembling hands. He grabbed the water pitcher on the table, and drank big gulps of water before he could barely swallow those pills.

  After doing all that, Josh lay on the table weakly and panted. It took him a long time before he could recover.

  Josh lay on the table for a long time before the medicine finally took effect. Color began to return to his face. He slowly got up and took out a black box from under the bed. He opened the cover, and coldly said to the black statue inside, “You almost got me killed.”
