Meg sympathized with a married man's desire to survive, so he agreed to Ivan's request for him to cover up his lie.
After the lunch service ended, Meg said to Gemina, who was holding onto the railing and staring at Ivan with a smile, "Miss Gemina, Mr. Ivan said that he wants to learn how to cook crayfish from me. I think he has great potential, so I accepted him. However, he has to pay 500 copper coins for the registration fee. I heard from him that you are the one who controls the finances. I wonder if you have the money to give me."
"He hasn't handed the money to Mr. Hades yet?" Gemina looked at Ivan suspiciously.
"What are you talking about, Wife? Do I look like a demon who has 500 copper coins on me?" Ivan patted his chest calmly. Because he used too much strength, he accidentally knocked out a gold coin.
The gold coin shone brightly under the sun, and drew a beautiful parabola. It landed in front of Gemina with a ding, and spun on the ground.
Ivan's expression and actions froze instantly. His gaze gradually turned fearful as he looked at the gold coin that was still spinning.
Meg was also slightly taken aback. He looked at Ivan with pity. It seemed like this brother could only pray for himself.
"N-no, Wife, listen to me." Ivan tried to struggle.
Bam!
Gemina stomped that gold coin into the rock, and then turned around to walk into the house. Her cold voice sounded, "If you can't learn how to cook crayfish, then don't come back."
"Do you think I'm still half-dead?" Ivan tried to ask Meg.
"That depends on whether you can learn it." Meg couldn't help but laugh.
"Sigh, life. How did such an innocent and cute little girl become such a tigress …?" Ivan sighed. Life was really unpredictable.
On the first day, Meg didn't let the demons cook. After all, the cost of a crayfish was 50 copper coins. If they practiced a few more times, he would suffer a loss. Therefore, he only let them do some basic cleaning work. After all, they couldn't even reach Meg's standards when it came to pulling out the lines.
In the evening, Meg smiled at everyone, and said, "Alright, today's class will end here. If you want to practice tomorrow, you can buy your own crayfish, or go to the beach tonight to try your luck. You will have the ingredients for cooking tomorrow."
Although the demons were a little surprised, they didn't say much when they thought about the cost of the crayfish. 500 copper coins wasn't enough for them to try a few times.
"Boss, can you draw a blueprint of this pot for me? I want to find a blacksmith to make a similar one so that I can practice at home, "Kitar said to Meg after everyone had left.
"Of course." Meg nodded. He took out a pen and paper, and quickly drew a blueprint of a wok for Kitar. This young fisherman was indeed very enthusiastic. He was always eager to do the work, and would also raise any questions he didn't understand. He could be considered a good apprentice.
"Thank you, Boss." Kitar kept the blueprint carefully, and thanked Meg before leaving excitedly. He felt that he had learned a lot of new things today, and had to go home to digest them properly. He also had to go catch some crayfish tonight.
Because the demons from the Ten Kings Palace who came to investigate the crayfish restaurant were all buried, the crayfish restaurant was peaceful and quiet.
At night, Meg closed the restaurant early with the reason that the crayfish were sold out.
"Amy, your mother and I are going out tonight. Can you stay at home with Ugly Duckling and watch Cat and Mouse?" Meg took out a tablet from behind his back, and tapped on the screen to play the first episode of Cat and Mouse automatically.
"Wow, there's a big blue-gray cat and a little brown mouse hiding in it!" Amy stared at the screen curiously.
"Meow!" As if Ugly Duckling had seen its own kind, it also went up excitedly and snuggled into Amy's arms.
"Let's go. I think they can watch it for the whole night." Meg turned to look at Irina.
"Haha, that fat cat is so stupid. It's even stupider than Ugly Duckling …" Irina was already squatting beside Amy, and she was laughing loudly.
Meg: "…"
She was indeed an all-ages favorite. Meg sighed. He only dragged Irina away from the tablet after she finished watching the first episode.
"How did you stuff Cat and Mouse into such a small thing?" Irina was still looking at Meg curiously as she sat on Ah Zi's back.
"They're just images. They're not the real Cat and Mouse." Meg shook his head with a smile. This was a new toy he bought for Amy from the system for 10000 copper coins — Cat and Mouse Limited Edition Tablet.
Although it could only watch Cat and Mouse, it was a cartoon with more than 100 levels, so it could be played on an infinite loop from any level without getting tired of it. It was undoubtedly the best toy to coax children.
"Is it okay to let Amy stay in the restaurant alone?" Irina turned to look at Carapace Island.
"It's okay. I've made some arrangements in the restaurant." Meg nodded. The restaurant's automatic defense system had already reached level-9. Amy only needed to stay at home and watch cartoons. There weren't any 10th-tier powerhouses on Carapace Island now, anyway.
Irina didn't ask any more questions after hearing that. She knew that Meg doted on Amy more than she did, so he wouldn't put her in danger.
Furthermore, what they were going to do tonight might be very dangerous. It was indeed inconvenient to bring Amy along.
The Gryphon broke through the clouds and flew high up in the sky towards West Point Island.
At this moment, Alfreid was on a large ship heading towards West Point Island. There was only one crew member on the ship and a huge porcupine battle boar in the middle of the ship.
"Simmons better bring the Demon Statue with him. Otherwise, I'll definitely take the stone statue back even if I have to massacre the Flaming Tribe!" Alfreid clenched his fist. Terrifying black lines appeared on his face, and his eyes turned blood red.
The abyssal demon rowing the boat at the stern looked at Alfreid with fear in his eyes. The chief seemed a little different today. It was terrifying.
On the other side, Simmons sat on the back of a flaming bird with a gloomy expression. The flames on their bodies almost burned half the sky.
"Although Alfreid is known for his lust and brutality, why did he lure me here? The abyssal demon race and the flaming tribe both expressed that they want to restart the race war. What is he trying to do? " Simmons mumbled to himself. He thought for a while, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face. "Charlene better be fine. Otherwise, I won't let him off today!"
The flaming bird quickly approached the sky above West Point Island from the northeast. Its speed and altitude started to decrease at the same time.
"Oh, it came earlier than expected. Looks like I still have to activate the ejection system." Meg sighed. Then, he took out a remote control from his pocket. He glanced at Alfreid, who had already occupied the center of the island and was riding on the porcupine battle boar, as well as the flaming bird that was approaching the beach. He pressed the nuclear button.
