"Have you contacted that child recently?" Louis asked Jinx as they sat in the horse-drawn carriage that the city lord's castle had specially sent.
"I gave her my contact details, but she never contacted me once. She didn't come to Dragon Island to look for me, either." Jinx shook his head, and helplessly said, "Perhaps Dragon Island isn't that attractive compared to that restaurant."
Louis frowned, and became even more puzzled. "What's the background of that restaurant? Even Dragon Island can't compare to it?"
"It's not about the background. You'll know in a while." Jinx shrugged. It was really not easy to explain.
"If anyone dares to stop my Golden Dragon Tribe's child from going home, I will never let him off," Louis said coldly.
Jinx blinked, and didn't answer.
The horse-drawn carriage stopped, and the coachman's voice came from outside. "Dear guests, we have arrived at Amy's."
"Uncle, this is Chaos City, after all, and we are guests. No matter what happens later, you have to bear with it. After all, we're here to facilitate negotiations. It's not good to fall out with the host," Jinx specially reminded before alighting from the carriage.
"Mm-hmm," Louis replied in a deep voice. They were facing a great enemy, and they still had to rely on Chaos City to get all the races to put aside their prejudices and face the enemy together. They really couldn't afford to offend Chaos City.
"Then, let's go to this special restaurant." Jinx alighted from the horse-drawn carriage first.
Louis followed closely behind. He frowned as he looked at the long line in front of the restaurant. "What are they doing now?"
"Waiting in line to eat," Jinx said calmly. He had already seen such a scene the last time he came.
"We have to wait in line to eat? I'm from the Golden Dragon Tribe … "Louis said with displeasure.
"Even if their city lord Michael came to eat, he would have to line up at the back obediently," Jinx said with a shrug.
"Who exactly is this restaurant owner? Could it be opened by some old monster? "Louis was even more puzzled as he looked at the beautiful restaurant door with a frown.
"Not really. This restaurant owner is just an ordinary human." Jinx shook his head.
"An ordinary human?" Louis raised his brow.
"However, her daughter is quite impressive. She is the Magical Goddess who was accepted as a disciple by both Crassus and Julian," Jinx replied.
"I have some recollection of this, but even if it's because of his daughter, this boss dares to make Michael wait in line outside?" Louis was still confused.
"You might not believe it, but most of the people waiting in line outside are willing to do so. Furthermore, the restaurant hasn't opened for business yet. These are all customers who came to line up in advance and are afraid that there won't be any seats later," Jinx said helplessly.
"Willing?" Louis sized up the customers in the queue. There was no lack of powerful people from various races in the queue. None of them showed any dissatisfaction with the queue, and the atmosphere seemed to be pretty good.
"That's right. The culinary skills of the owner of this restaurant are unparalleled on the Norland Continent. You'll know once you try it," Jinx said with a smile.
"Heh, human food is not to our liking." Louis pursed his lips in disdain.
"Don't say that too early. I think the queue here is a little shorter. Why don't we queue here for hot pot today?" Jinx was about to walk to the queue at the side when he saw Louis standing there. He softly said, "Don't you want to see that child? You won't be able to see her from here. "
"Alright. For the sake of that child, I'll force myself to go in and take a seat." Louis followed Jinx to the back of the queue. He squinted at the customers standing in front of him, and pursed his lips in disdain. They were just people that he could kill with his dragon's breath.
"What a rare sight." Jinx, who was standing behind Louis, moved his lips, and tried not to laugh out loud.
"Oh, we're late today. There's definitely no tofu pudding."
Harrison and Julian jumped off the horse-drawn carriage, and sighed when they saw the long queue at the entrance of the restaurant.
"We haven't had hot pot for a while. Why don't we have it tonight?" Julian suggested.
"Sure." Harrison nodded, and walked to the back of the two queues in front of the designated hot pot area.
The queue was getting longer. After waiting for a long time, Louis looked a little impatient.
He was the chief of the Golden Dragon Tribe, a top powerhouse with a high status among the dragons. Yet, he was actually queuing up with a bunch of mortals for a meal. This was simply …
"Welcome, Amy's." Before Louis, who was getting angrier and angrier, could express his anger, the door of the restaurant, which had been closed all this while, suddenly opened outwards. A young human walked out with a smile.
The queue that had been stationary all this while suddenly moved forward. The customers entered in an orderly manner, and greeted that young human familiarly.
"Uncle, the door is open. Let's go," Jinx reminded.
"Mm-hmm." Louis retracted his gaze, and followed the queue forward. For the sake of that child, he would not stoop to Jinx's level for the time being.
However, when Louis and Jinx reached the door, they were stopped by a lady.
Yabemiya smiled at the two of them, and said, "I'm sorry, dear customers. The designated hot pot area is full. If you don't mind, you can sit at that table for four over there. That's the only seat left."
"You want us to sit outside and eat?" Louis frowned even before he looked at her.
"Uncle, this is that child," Jinx reminded softly.
Louis's gaze landed on Yabemiya, and his eyes lit up immediately. He could not help but exclaim, "She actually has such a pure bloodline!"
Yabemiya took half a step back instinctively. She recognized Jinx, but she was a little frightened by this uncle's expression.
"Is she serious when she took half a step back?" Louis frowned slightly. He was the most respected chief and senior of the Golden Dragon Tribe. Usually, the juniors would be full of smiles when they saw him.
"Why is Louis here?" Elizabeth, who was standing at the back, saw Louis, and her expression changed slightly. She wanted to go forward, but after hesitating for a while, she stopped in her tracks. The Golden Dragon Tribe probably would not hurt Mia, but if she appeared too close to Mia in front of them, it might cause her trouble instead.
"Mia, we have something to talk to you about in private," Jinx said to Mia with a smile.
"Mm-hmm, we intend to bring you home," Louis added with a nod.
"Sorry, I'm at work now. I don't have time to talk to you." Mia shook her head slightly, and put on a smile again. "Please take a seat, dear customers. The customers behind are still waiting."
