No one would hate someone who complimented them.
A chef was no exception.
Especially when the compliment was from the bottom of his heart, it would make the person who was complimented feel happy from the bottom of his heart.
"If you want to eat my food, you can come anytime, but not today.
"I can only cook one meal a day."
Remember to book it before you come. "
Boss Dao said with a smile.
His tone had a natural sense of closeness, it wasn't the distant tone hidden in the politeness.
"Okay."
Kieran nodded.
He didn't dislike reasonable rules.
More so, he had his own set of rules as well: no free meals.
"If you run into any trouble, you can come to me.
If it's within my capabilities, I'll solve it for you, consider it as payment for the meal. "
There were only a handful of people who could reach Starbeck's cooking level. In a dungeon world without Starbeck, Kieran didn't mind spending extra effort in order to taste Starbeck's cooking a few more times.
"This is a favor I owe you, you don't have to pay for the meal.
"Besides, your choice has already made me feel like I owe you something."
Then I'll give you a reminder as compensation.
Be careful of Noroid Church and … Hypnotist Association. "
Boss Dao frowned and said seriously.
Boss Dao enunciated the last sentence word by word.
"Mm, I know."
Kieran wasn't surprised at all.
Whether it was Noroid Church or Hypnotist Association, they were all the same in Kieran's eyes … unfamiliar. The only difference was that Kieran had a conflict with Noroid Church, which had a bad reputation, but it didn't mean Kieran would lean towards the Hypnotist Association.
Even though the Hypnotist Association and Noroid Church were enemies, it wasn't Kieran's style to simply join without a clear understanding of the situation.
"Thank you again."
Kieran said as he stood up.
After tasting the food, he had a general idea of Boss Dao's thoughts.
He even got an unexpected reward from the mystical realm.
Kieran was very confident that the information that Boss Dao mentioned was related to the mystical realm.
As a matter of fact, only when compared to the news about the mystical realm could Boss Dao, who had absolute confidence in his cooking skills, feel ashamed of his inferiority.
However, in Kieran's eyes, Boss Dao's cooking skills were much more valuable than the information from the mystical realm.
After a thousand years, the sea had turned into mulberry fields. In this land that had lost the shadow of transcendents, Kieran could totally imagine what the mystical side was like.
It was in pieces.
Struggling at death's door.
There wasn't even a complete inheritance left.
The rest were probably just some records of what happened a thousand years ago, or some tricks that could fool ordinary people.
More?
It was impossible.
Otherwise, the current dungeon world would not be a New Federation that focused on the development of science and technology.
Of course, Kieran would not underestimate the mystical side of this dungeon world.
He would never underestimate anyone or any faction.
Just like how he believed that as long as the 'shaman' segment continued to grow, the remaining mystics would come to him sooner or later.
"I'll walk you out."
Boss Dao stood up as well.
After walking out of the room and through the main hall, Boss Dao stood in front of the stone stairs.
Kieran changed his shoes, nodded to Boss Dao, and then headed out of the bamboo forest. When he went around another part of the bamboo forest, the maidservant that he first met was already waiting for him.
"Hon. 2567, please follow me."
The maidservant led Kieran to Eckart, Lyn Amie, and the others.
Inside a house similar to the House of Han, Eckart and the others were drinking tea and eating pastries, praising the delicacies on their faces.
"How is it?
What does Boss Dao's cooking taste like?
It must be delicious right?
These pastries are enough to leave me with endless aftertastes, the main course must be even better. "
When Lyn Amie saw Kieran walk in, he jumped up and ran to Kieran, sniffing his nose like a puppy.
He was hoping to smell the leftovers of the delicious food on Kieran.
Unfortunately, he didn't smell anything.
"What did you eat?"
Lyn Amie couldn't tell through the smell, so he asked with his mouth.
"Meat."
Kieran simply said before looking at Eckart, who had swept all the pastries into his arms.
"It's fine, Boss Dao is very hospitable.
He won't mind. "
Eckart smiled embarrassedly at Kieran's gaze, but his hands weren't slow at all. Each and every one of the delicate-looking pastries with an alluring aroma were carefully placed on a piece of oilskin paper and placed into a metal box.
The oiled paper and the metal box weren't prepared by Boss Dao.
It seemed like Eckart really did come prepared.
Just like what Eckart said, Boss Dao was very hospitable. Together with Gorbor and the other three bodyguards, the group ate for half a day and the leftover pastries still filled up two metal boxes. Before Eckart put the two boxes into a bag, Kieran grabbed one of them.
"Mine."
Kieran stated his point in a simple and concise manner.
Eckart was stunned for a moment before he nodded with a bitter smile.
He could tell Kieran wasn't joking.
Kieran's gaze was even more serious than when he was with the leader of the thieves.
He was serious to the point that Eckart had the misconception of 'give it to him, give it to him now, or else he'll beat me up and take both boxes away'.
Eckart's heart ached a little, so he took the last box of pastries and went to the nanny van first. Kieran, who got another unexpected reward, followed behind in satisfaction.
Similar to how they came, the two vans drove towards Kieran's temporary house one after the other.
However, right after they left the villa district where the House of Han was located, Gorbor's walkie-talkie rang.
"Boss, someone is following us."
Gorbor's men's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Observe the target.
Be on high alert. "
Gorbor ordered. He then said to Eckart and Kieran without even turning around, "I will ensure your safety, as long as I am alive."
His words were spoken without any hesitation, swiftly calming down Eckart, who was anxious when he heard someone was following them.
Eckart looked at Gorbor with a grateful gaze before he looked at Kieran, who placed the metal box of pastries on his knee and touched it with his fingers.
He wasn't affected at all.
Or rather …
He didn't care about the stalker at all.
"Did you notice something?"
Eckart asked.
"Give me that box of pastries and I'll tell you."
Kieran pointed at the bag beside Eckart.
"Stop joking at a time like this."
"You …"
"Fine, I'll give it to you, hurry up and tell me what you found!"
Unlike Kieran, when faced with unknown danger, Eckart would definitely choose to deal with the unknown danger instead of keeping a box of pastries.
After taking the bag from Eckart and putting the metal box inside, Kieran said, "Stop the car."
