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

Chapter 2293

Fresh-caught large yellow croaker only required the most original steaming method to bring out the best of its natural flavor.

The tender meat was very fresh. Mag took a few bites and nodded with satisfaction.

The freshest ingredients would of course be found at their source. A delicacy like the large yellow croaker was one in a million. Mag could only chance upon them because he was lucky today.

Of course, other than at their source, the freshest ingredients could also be found in his fridge.

A refrigerator that reached the source of all ingredients could not only help him save up on middle-man costs, but also guarantee the freshness of the ingredients.

"Ding! The Host's seafood feast had gained 100% satisfaction and would be awarded with the recipes of the steamed large yellow croaker, scallops with minced garlic and bean vermicelli, and charcoal-grilled oysters!

"Please pass the test for the God of Cookery within three days. Otherwise, the recipes will be taken back!"

The System's voice rang in Mag's head suddenly.

"Hm?!" Mag's eyes lit up. He did not think that this feast could actually trigger the System's reward.

However, after thinking about it, he could understand why. The System was encouraging him to try cooking various styles of dishes to become a legitimate chef.

"What about the red braised blue crab? Isn't that good too?" Mag asked.

"That?" the System said in disdain.

Mag glanced at the plate of red braised blue crab that was almost empty. He could really do better with his control of the fire. The seasoning was an improved recipe from the red braised lobster, so it was not bad but it was still far from perfect.

"Alright, so be it." Mag was not greedy either. It was already very generous of the System to give him three recipes in one go.

After lunch, everyone basked in the sun for a while before Mag suggested to them, "Why don't we stay in Camilla's castle today?"

"Alright! I love castles!" Amy was the first one to jump up as she agreed with a nod.

The children were all filled with anticipation. There were many fairy tales about castles and usually, either the princess or the prince would live in a castle.

"However, this is a vampire's castle. It's a little different from the ones you read about in the fairy tales," Mag said with a smile.

"I heard that vampires love to suck children's blood," Yabemiya said.

"That's so scary. I don't want to go to the vampire's castle anymore. I want to go home. I want my Mommy…" Ignatsu was so frightened that his beansprout wilted as he covered his face and shook in fear.

Daphne also looked a little scared. She inched closer to Amy as she tried to find some sense of security.

However, Jessica had a calm expression and even appeared a little curious.

Amy was even more excited. She clenched her fists as she said, "In that case, it will be even more fun! I want to go! If we run into a vampire that sucks children's blood, I'll wallop him!"

"Let's go to Camilla's house, then." Mag smiled. He turned the flying restaurant into a gigantic ship and called the ladies on board.

After the war, Camilla, who was the chief of the Vampires, returned to Demon Islands and stopped working in the restaurant.

As an employer, Mag was rather unsatisfied with this employee who disappeared from work after being promoted and striking it big. Other than bringing everyone over to visit, Mag intended to ask Camilla if she was coming back to work. If she was not, he could hire someone new.

Right now, Firis could not manage the preparation of all the ingredients alone. Mag would always have to share most of the load with her.

Mag sat at the stern with a fishing rod in his hand as he enjoyed the breeze with his eyes closed for a little nap.

He was not bothered about whether he could catch any fish since he already had his fill.

The Vampires' territory was not far from where they were. After half an hour's boat ride, an island shrouded with fog appeared in front of them.

It was an island made up of black rocks. It was partially visible behind the fog and looked rather eerie and mysterious.

"This island looks so eerie and scary." Ignatsu covered his eyes and hid behind everyone as he shook in fear.

"Daphne, don't be scared. I'm here," Amy said seriously as she held on to Daphne's little hands.

"Mm." Daphne looked at Amy and was somehow confident in her. It was as though there was nothing to be afraid of as long as Amy was around.

"We came in such a hurry that we did not have the chance to notify her. I wonder if she's at home." Mag put away his fishing rod and threw a large crab that was hanging at the end of the rod back into the sea before going to the bow of the boat.

"Chief, Camilla and Dracula have gone out. Let's meet the Lord Ancestor. You are the most reputable person in the tribe. How could Camilla that lass be the chief? Nobody can accept it," a vampire told Maynard, who was stroking the ring on his finger with a grave expression.

There were a few other vampires around who concurred, showing their loyalty.

Maynard remained silent for a while before saying, "Dracula is no longer the Dracula of the past. According to the rules, he has the right to train Camilla into the next chief. This was also something that Lord Ancestor has silently consented to. Besides, Camilla is my daughter."

"But Chief, you've worked so hard to lead the Vampires for so many years. How could you let Dracula and Camilla, those two lunatics, mess it up like that? What will happen to the Vampires from now on? We don't feel safe."

"That's right. Chief, we know that Camilla is your daughter but she is not on your side."

The other vampires agreed.

Maynard clenched his fist slowly as he recalled the humiliating scene when Dracula snatched the position of Chief from him.

He should have been the Ancestor but Dracula intercepted and became the real invincible one.

Right now, Dracula did not even show him any face. After snatching his position as Chief, he even made Camilla the new Chief.

There were jokes and mockery about him spreading around the Demon Islands saying that he was old and useless, and that even his daughter had stepped all over his head.

"Sir! A boat is advancing towards our territory!" a vampire reported from outside.

"Boat?" Maynard frowned.

The other vampires were also shocked.

"Take a look at who it is," Maynard ordered

"Yes, Sir!" the vampire at the door replied.

***

The big boat sailed through the fog and quickly arrived at a rather gentle slope.

Vampires could fly so there was no harbor for a large boat to dock at on this island. There were even countless hidden corals nearer to the shore of the island.

Mag dropped the anchor and stood at the bow of the boat as he looked at the two dots in the sky advancing towards them.

Two batmen, oh, vampires.

The two vampires hovered in mid-air at a mountain cliff. One of the vampires, whose mouth was filled with sharp fangs, looked at Mag and asked fiercely, "Who are you?! Why are you intruding into the Vampires' territory?"
