A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 2261

At night, Mag coaxed the two little ones to sleep with a bedtime story. After they fell asleep, he switched the lights off and tiptoed out of the room.

"Are you intending to go out?" Irina, who was dressed in her nightgown, asked Mag.

"Mm. I want to try the gun out." Mag nodded and took out the assault rifle Xi gave him.

"She gave this to you?" Irina frowned as she looked at the assault rifle in Mag's hands. She realized that things did not seem simple and she looked at Mag investigatively as she asked, "How did you persuade her?"

"I have to make things clear, nothing happened between us!" Mag raised his hand and said, "I used a free life-time supply of red braised pork voucher in exchange for it, with another dish added in."

"You're going to make her red braised pork for the rest of your life? You didn't even promise me that." Irina pouted.

"…" Mag.

This deal was Mag's proudest deal so far.

He used red braised pork in exchange for a long-range, lethal assault rifle.

If it was someone else, no amount of red braised pork would be able to seal the deal.

Of course, that was not what women liked to hear.

"One would be sick of red braised pork sooner or later but I will make you anything you want to eat for the rest of our lives." Mag put away the assault rifle and took a step forward as he looked intently into Irina's eyes.

"Ah… this is too cheesy. Go on, go on." Irina shooed him away in disdain as she turned to walk into the room but she was still unable to hide the smile on her face.

"I'll go out then, turn in early." Mag pulled out his mask and went out through the window.

He changed into another outfit and so he did not go out dressed as Alex. Instead, he wore a simple, black combat outfit that was similar to Xi's. It was made by the System and could keep him warm.

Mag walked on the streets of Chaos City with the assault rifle.

It was deep into the night, so there was barely anyone on the streets. Ocassionally, there would be a few drunkards staggering home.

Over the past few months, the Gentlemen's League had grown in size and had become Chaos City's largest scale mercenary organization.

This was due to the gentlemen's passion for the board of gentlemen and in a short timespan of a few months, the security in Chaos City had greatly improved. Now the crime rate was very low.

That had made Chaos City a city that crime syndicates shunned.

After all, the number of gentlemen waiting hunting for criminals way surpassed that of their prey.

Mag turned a corner and witnessed a group of gentlemen beating up a drunk demon who tried to flirt with a middle-aged lady forcefully by the road. Other than that, he did not meet any other bad guys.

"Is this the power of the gentlemen? Not bad at all." Mag carried the assault rifle and leaned on a large tree nearby as he watched a few gentlemen chatting while sitting around a fire in an alley.

They were the ones who protected the peace in this area, deterring the crooks from committing crime.

The gentlemen were discussing the latest happenings at the bathhouse in the city's southern area, which succubus had the best skills, which ones are picky, and how to not appear as though it was their first time there.

Mag listened for a while and resisted his urge to join in the discussion. He turned to leave and went out of Chaos City.

After leaving the city, Mag summoned Ah Zi and they went to the magic beast mountain range.

He heard from customers over the past couple of days that some ferocious magic beasts on the mountain range had been killing all the mercenaries who went up the mountain to pick herbs. These included 7th-tier and 8th-tier mercenaries.

Since Mag could not find suitable targets in Chaos City, he had his sight set on the magic beasts on the mountain range.

Mag did not have any compassion for those ferocious magic beasts. He would treat it as he was getting rid of danger for those mercenaries.

There were howls and growls of magic beasts coming from the mountain range in the night as though the blood-thirsty beasts had awakened.

The magic beast mountain range right now was considered deadly to the mercenaries.

The magic beasts had left their nests in search for food in the mountain range.

Other than experienced and powerful mercenaries, most mercenaries would choose to leave the magic beast mountain range before the sun sets.

If they were unlucky, they would lose their way in the mountain range and fail to leave before nightfall. When that happened, they would turn from hunters to prey.

Rose Mercenary Squad was a little out of luck today. They had accepted a herb-collecting mission and would only have to find the required herbs at the periphery of the mountain range. However, they happened to meet a 4th-tier Iron-back Bull.

Everyone had given all they had and were all injured before they managed to escape from the 4th-tier magic beast. However, they had also unconsciously barged into the depths of the mountain range.

On top of that, they got lost, as they were in a rush to flee for their lives and after walking around for a few hours, they were still stuck in the mountain range.

"Team Leader, the Thorny Shrub is up ahead. It has poisonous thorns. We can't go over," Monkey told Sivir as he jumped down from a tree. He was limping a little and his pants were stained with blood.

"I've also taken a look on this side. There hasn't been any traces of mercenaries' activities for a while. We have probably entered the danger zone." Sam walked back with a grave expression.

Upon hearing that, the members of the Rose Mercenary Squad all did not look too good.

The danger zone in the magic beast mountain range meant that they would lose their lives.

They could already imagine how things would end if they were to stay in the danger zone at night.

The Rose Mercenary Squad was merely a small mercenary group. Their team leader, Sivir, was only at the 3rd-tier. After escaping from the Iron-back Bull, Sivir was also injured and had three broken ribs. Her combat capabilities had decreased significantly.

None of the eight members of the mercenary group were confident of surviving the night in the danger zone, even if they were all fine.

Now, any 4th-tier magic beast could just kill them all.

In the depths of the magic beast mountain range, 5th-tier magic beasts could be seen everywhere.

"Get into the search formation. We will retreat back into that cave we were in just now. Guard the cave entrance. We will leave this place when day breaks." Sivir grabbed her chest as she instructed them as calmly as she could.

As the team leader, she had to be calm and make the correct judgement and decisions.

Running around the magic beast mountain range in the darkness was akin to courting death.

The members all responded positively and got ready to move.

Roar!

Just then, a tiger's roar came from the dense vegetation ahead. The sound waves swept through the trees like a gust of strong wind, shaking the mercenaries and making their ears ring.

Monkey and Sam, who were not as strong as the others, fell straight to the ground as they threw up blood.

The thick trees were knocked over and uprooted. A large white tiger standing at five meters tall and more than 10 meters in length appeared in front of the Rose Mercenary Squad. Its golden eyes were like two bright lamps as it looked down on them.

"A 7th-tier Golden-Eyed White Tiger!" Dennis exclaimed as his face turned pale.
