Chapter 156  Dragon Delicacies

"How are you feeling now?"

At Alex's question, Borong smiled, "I'm still feeling weak right now. But this is just temporary. I will get better after a few days."

Borong stretched out his hand and placed it on Alex's shoulder and said, "Really, I can't express my gratitude to you with just words."

Azul and Paula also looked at Alex with eyes filled with gratitude.

This time, Alex just accepted their words without saying anything.

After a while, Borong retracted his hands and said, "Since it can be said that you gave me a second life, I will of course reward you well for that."

Immediately, an expectantly look appeared in Alex's eyes.

Borong snapped his finger and a green colored item the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

A strong fruity and refreshing scent bombarded the place they were in the moment that item appeared.

Sniff~

Involuntarily, Alex took a deep breath to smell it more.

It wasn't just Alex who's like that.

Everyone in the room can't help but take in a few more breaths because of it.

Not bothered by their reactions, Borong said,

"At the moment, this is the most valuable item that I have in me. As thanks for saving me, I will give it to you now."

With a fascinated look, Alex eyed the fruit and asked, "Can you tell me what that is?"

Borong turned his eyes at the item in his hand and smiled, "This thing is called [Golden Apple]."

Hearing that, Alex tilted his head in confusion.

"[Golden Apple]? Why is it called golden when it's clearly green?"

At his words, Borong chuckled, "That was the same thought I had when I first got my hands on this thing."

"However, it didn't take long for me to learn why it is called that."

After saying that, Borong handed the [Golden Apple] to Alex.

"Anyway, you will know why it's called [Golden Apple] when you eat it."

Alex looked into the apple on his hand and thought, 'This thing is the most precious thing he has? He's not fooling me, right?'

Alex glanced at Borong and shook his head.

'Well, coming here has already brought me a lot of benefits. If this thing isn't really a good item, then it doesn't matter.'

With that mindset, Alex accepted the [Golden Apple] with a light heart.

"Then I will take it. Thank you, Mr. Borong."

After saying that, Alex threw the [Golden Apple] into his inventory.

Seeing that, Borong smiled and said, "This is just my token of appreciation, Mr. Zero. As for the real reward, I will give it to you after I fully recover."

Hearing that, of course, Alex is happy.

However, on the outside, Alex just keeps a calm look with a light smile.

"Then I'll thank you in advance for that as well."

After that, they chatted for a bit before Paula stood up and said, "Since Mr. Zero has come to our house even though it's far just to help our father, it's just right that we should treat you well."

"Please wait here for a bit, I will prepare some food made with dragon meat for everyone to eat!"

Saying that, Paula left and headed to the kitchen.

Alex can't help but get excited.

"Wow, I'm finally getting a taste of the dragon cuisine that I ate last time!"

Azul smiled at his words, "I'm glad you liked my sister's food."

"Since she was young, my sister already likes cooking, so I can say that she is really good at what she does."

From her words, Alex can feel how proud Azul is for her sister.

And from the looks on Borong's face, he also feels the same.

Alex can't help but look at this picture for a moment.

Then he thought, 'It looks like having a family is a great thing… huh.'

Alex fell into silence for a moment and Angelica noticed the sudden change in his mood.

Poking at him, she asked, "Brother Zero, why do you look sad?"

Alex turned to look at her and said, "Sad? Am I making a sad face right now?"

Saying that, Alex touched his face, as if trying to feel the expression he's making.

At this time, Azul and Borong have also turned their eyes at him with curious and concerned faces.

To answer his question, Angelica nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zero."

As she said that, a hesitant look appeared on Angelica's face before she suddenly hugged him with her small hands.

Then she said, "I don't know why you're sad. But I remember when my mom was still alive, she said that hugs can get rid of the sad feeling."

"I hope your sadness goes away too with my hug, Brother Zero."

Alex was stunned, looking down at Angelica who's hugging him, Alex suddenly felt warm in his heart.

A smile gradually formed in his mouth and he touched Angelica's head, saying, "You're right, the sad feeling has indeed disappeared now. Thank you, Angelica!"

At the same time, Alex felt like he was able to take a glimpse at the childish side of Angelica.

Usually, Angelica tries to act mature and responsible as the eldest of all the kids.

However, right now, Alex saw that even though she tries to act like an adult, she's still a child at heart and mind.

The father and daughter, Borong and Azul also saw this scene and a warm smile crept up their faces.

After that, Alex, Borong, and Azul chatted for a while before Paula came back.

"I am back~!"

Paula's voice is powerful and energetic, obviously full of enthusiasm.

As she approached, she placed down a tray in her hand to the table in front of Alex and the others.

Everyone looked at the tray before Borong asked, "So, what did you prepare for us today, my daughter?"

Hearing his words, a proud smile appeared on Paula's face as she introduce.

"This dish is the one where I poured all my heart into making. As thanks to Mr. Zero for saving my father, I did the best that I could do with my current skills. "

"And here I present to you, my masterpiece!"

Paula removed the lid covering the food inside the tray and white smoke rose up.

Immediately, a savory aroma assaulted everyone's nose.

Sniff~

"Hmm~, this smells so good!"

Glurgh~

As if to agree, Borong's stomach sounded at this time.

Everyone looked at him and lively laughter echoed around the house.

After a while, they turned their attention back to the food on the table.

What they saw was a normal looking steak on the trays.

For a while, Alex, Borong, and Azul looked at the steak before Borong opened his mouth and asked, "My daughter, please explain your dish."

Happily, Paula started talking, "Everyone, what is placed in front of you is the meat of a dragon, tenderized with Golden Mountain Honey, and…"

As they listened to Paula's words, Alex picked up a fork and knife and unhesitantly cut off a small piece.

Immediately, glistening juice oozed out of the cut exuding a greater savory aroma than before!

Because of this, the others weren't able to control themselves anymore and also took a small piece.

At this time, every corner of the whole house has been baptized by the mouthwatering smell of the food.

Alex and along with everybody, raised their hands and took a bite at the meat on their utensils.

Boom!

Juice from the meat exploded into their mouth, filling it umami everywhere!

"Wow, this is so good!"

"This tastes a whole lot better compared to when I ate at Dragon Diner before!"

Alex looked at the steak on his plate with glimmering eyes.

Just like him, when Borong and Azul taated the food, they nodded in approvement.

"It seems like you're skills have improved again, Paula." Borong said.

Azul nodded in agreement, "It really far better than before, Sister!"

Hearing their compliments, Paula looke satisfied.

"It's great that everyone likes it. Then, please continue eating."

Saying that, Paula went to the kitchen and came back carrying more food.

By the way, Paula also gave some food to Ferri and Blaze to their delight.

For a while, the only sound that could be heard inside the house was the sound of them eating.

30 minutes later, Alex leaned back on his seat with a satisfied face.

"Haa~ that was such great food."

On his side, Angelica, Joel, Jojo, and Joey have an equally satisfied expression.

Paula, the one who cooked everything, looked at Alex with a smile and said, "I am glad that the foods I prepared were all able to satisfy you, Mr. Zero."

Alex sat up properly and smiled back ay her, saying, "It was such a satisfying meal, Miss Paula. Thank you very much for letting me taste such delicacies!"

After that, Alex chatted with them a bit more until it's time for them to leave.

Alex got up from his seat and said, "Sir Borong, Miss Paula, and Miss Azul. It's about time for me to leave now."
