Chapter 355: Isn’t That Right, President Warren?

“No, we’re only here to eat today.” Warren shook his head. He turned to the perplexed Tonis with a smile, and said, “Robert must have already reported everything to the city lord. Even though the city lord is very busy every day, so there’s no way he can focus too much attention on a restaurant, Robert worked at the city lord’s castle for many years, and his words would hold more sway than ours. As such, we’re here to research this restaurant ourselves so that we’ll be prepared if the city lord ever asks about it.”

“But the city lord himself won’t know anything about this restaurant, so can’t we just make something up to placate him?” Tonis was still confused.

“The city lord is the master of Chaos City, and one of the smartest people on the Norland Continent. Do you really think you can just make something up to fool him?” Warren shook his head with a smile as he sighed with emotion. “Every time I see the city lord, I am stunned by his exceptional talents. How could there be a 10th-tier knight with such a brilliant mind? I am truly reverent toward him.”

A reverent expression also appeared on Tonis’ face, and he asked, “Then what are we here to do today?”

“Compared to us, the city lord will definitely be more inclined to trust Robert. Hence, we must understand more about this restaurant than Robert; we must identify its fatal flaws so we can be prepared for anything. Having a direct altercation with the owner of the restaurant is the dumbest way to do things. As a vice president of the Catering Association, I trust you know what you should be doing, and what you shouldn’t be doing.” Warren’s smile faded, and he glanced at Tonis before striding toward the restaurant’s door.

Tonis’ expression changed slightly as he ducked his head, and he also entered the restaurant.

…

“Burp…”

After devouring an entire spicy grilled fish, including every last strand of cellophane noodles, Vivian burped with contentment. Only then did she notice that her entire body was drenched in sweat. Even her hair was completely wet, and she felt very warm, just as if she had just taken a relaxing bath.

The spicy taste in her mouth was slowly receding, but the elated smile lingered on her face. She was a little bloated, but she was in far too much bliss to care.

“I’m ready for the bill.” Vivian raised her hand.

“That’ll be 1600 copper coins, Big Brother Moustache.” Amy made her way over to Vivian before extending her little hand.

Vivian raised an eyebrow upon hearing that. She did indeed have a mustache glued onto her face, but it was still a strange feeling to have such a nickname assigned to her by this little girl. After all, she was a gorgeous little girl herself!

However, her vexation quickly faded at the sight of Amy’s adorkable expression. As expected, if one was adorable enough, they could do whatever they wanted and not suffer any consequences. Thus, she proceeded to reach for her purse.

“I… I’ll bay duh bill!” Schonard immediately stood up, slurring with his numb tongue as he reached for his wallet.

“I don’t need you to pay for me. Here are 16 gold coins. See you next time, little girl.” Vivian placed the coins in Amy’s outstretched little hand, and harrumphed in a tsundere voice at Schonard before leaving the restaurant.

“Bye bye, Big Brother Moustache,” Amy responded before turning to Schonard, and saying, “Smoking Red Lion, do you want to pay your bill as well? That’ll be 2000 copper coins.”

“S… Smoking Red Lion?” Schonard’s eyes widened upon hearing that. When had he been given that nickname? He looked at Vivian’s departing figure, then down at the half-finished grilled fish before him; his numb tongue and scorching throat begged for more fish. He hesitated momentarily before sitting down, and digging into his meal again.

In that instant, nothing was more important to him that his grilled fish. His body’s instinctive craving had overcome his logical thinking capacity. In other words, the fish was simply irresistible.

Vivian walked out the door, and was immediately greeted by the sight of Warren and Tonis. A hint of surprise appeared on her face as she instinctively lowered her head, even though she was in disguise. After getting out of earshot, she murmured to herself, “Wasn’t that fatso the president of the Catering Association? Didn’t he just remove this restaurant for their rankings board today? Why is he coming here? This restaurant has an exemplary environment, service, and food, all of which deserve five-star ratings. It’s constantly packed to the rafters with customers, and it’s spicy grilled fish should be placed at number one on the ranking board. I have to tell father to stand up for them when I get back. If this restaurant closes down because of the Catering Association, where am I going to find such delicious grilled fish?

“I’m only doing this for the food though; it’s not like this has anything to do with the owner or his daughter.”

A gust of wind blew past, and Vivian shivered as her clothes were already drenched with sweat. She quickly got onto a horse-drawn carriage, and went back to the city lord’s castle.

The decor is very good, and there are many customers, but everything is set up in a way that it’s not overly crowded. However, there are no racial areas, nor any restrictions on the races of their customers, so that could result in discomfort for some people. There really are many customers here. It’s already a full house, and there are still people lining up in droves. Despite that, it’s not rowdy in the slightest, and the environment deserves a five-star rating. As soon as Warren entered the restaurant, he began to formulate his own internal assessment.

Yabemiya made her way over to them, and smiled as she greeted, “Hi there, we currently have many customers at the moment, so you’ll most likely have to wait a while for a meal.”

“No problem.” Warren nodded as he sized up Yabemiya with a hint of surprise on his face. Ever since a restaurant had been demolished by a half-dragon waiter a year ago, there were almost no half-breed waiters left in the Aden Square. Who would have thought that there would be a half-dragon waitress here?

However, this half-dragon waitress was very bubbly and amicable, and her smile instilled within one a sense of comfort. Even if she were a half-dragon, Warren was willing to give her a five-star rating.

“Why is there a half-dragon waitress here?” In contrast, Tonis was a lot less tolerant, and he furrowed his brows at the sight of Yabemiya. His voice wasn’t very loud, but Yabemiya still heard what he said, and her expression changed slightly as she clenched her fists unconsciously.

Right at that moment, Sally made her way over to Yabemiya with a stack of plates in her hands. She looked Tonis in the eye, and asked, “Are there any laws in Chaos City stating that half-dragons can’t be employed as restaurant waiters?”

“Not using half-breed waiters is an unspoken rule among restaurants in the Aden Square; that’s just as applicable as a law.” Tonis was a little stunned by Sally’s beauty, but he was used to being fawned over by restaurant owners, so he was naturally irked by the fact that a waitress was talking back to him.

Many of the customers turned to look at them, and they were a bit surprised to see Warren and Tonis. Warren was the one who released the Aden Square food competition rankings every month, so everyone was familiar with him. They had just taken Mamy Restaurant off their rankings board today, so what were they here for now? Were they trying to cause trouble? That certainly appeared to be the case, considering how they were picking on a waitress here as soon as they walked in.

“Sorry, maybe I opened my restaurant too late, so I don’t know about any so-called unspoken rules. She is one of the best service staff members in my restaurant, and I believe the law is much more applicable than any unspoken rule under all circumstances.” Mag’s voice suddenly sounded at that moment, and he appeared with two plates of Yangzhou fried rice in his hands. He looked at Warren with a smile, and asked, “Isn’t that right, President Warren?”
