Sour, spicy, sweet, savory, these four tastes exploded almost simultaneously in his mouth. Each taste was so distinct but they actually blended together in such harmony.

The soft eggplant melted almost immediately in Rankster's mouth. After the wild palate feast experienced by his taste buds, Rankster swallowed it and there was a lingering fragrance in his mouth.

"This taste… is so meaty! Even a real fish couldn't match its taste!" Rankster narrowed his eyes. Staring at that eggplant with garlic sauce, he couldn't help reaching out with his chopsticks with a hesitant and resistant expression.

"Just one bite? Just one more bite!"

"Mmm… it's so good!"

"One more bite."

"It's a little salty?"

"How about a mouthful of rice? Just one bite!"

"They are so compatible. Let's finish them both."

"This red braised pork is also so delicious. It's soft and mushy and the sauce is a little sweet."

The three meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and one big pot of rice in front of Rankster were all finished when Harrison's dishes were served.

Rankster rubbed his stomach, feeling only 30% full.

Therefore, he raised his hands again.

"Sir… You're already done?" Yabemiya walked over and looked at the empty plates in front of Rankster with shock.

Rankster nodded with a smile. "Yes. I would like to order another round of the dishes again."

Miya shook her head and said, "You can reorder the other dishes except 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall', which is limited to one helping per customer. You can switch to another dish, like the Peking Duck."

"Alright. I will have that then." Rankster nodded. After some pondering, he said again, "Then, I'll change the other three dishes too…"

Rankster eventually ordered all the dishes on the menu and finished all of them for this meal.

"Mister, you're so awesome. You did the feat that I want to do but cannot achieve." Harrison, who was watching the whole time, gave a thumbs-up to Rankster, who was rubbing his stomach in satisfaction.

Rankster smiled and got up suavely to settle his bill. He held onto his takeaway fried rice and glanced at Yabemiya before leaving the restaurant.Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

"That's the first customer who has finished all the items on our menu, right?" Babla said with amazement.

"Yes. His appetite is astonishing. It isn't an easy feat to support himself." Angela nodded. She would have starved to death on the Demon Islands if she had his appetite.

"This mister… is quite interesting," Miya murmured to herself with a smile.

However, their busy work soon made them forget about this little episode.

Rankster smilingly asked Elizabeth, who was nibbling on the fried rice, "So, those maidens stayed to work in the restaurant because they get to eat the boss' dishes for free daily?"

Elizabeth paused and looked at Rankster with a funny expression. After thinking seriously for a moment,she answered, "Yes, and no. Although the scrumptious food is one of the reasons that they stayed on for, the main reason which made them willing to let go of their original identities and stay on in the restaurant, to do that seemingly simple job, is the restaurant's ambiance that feels like a home."

"The ambiance that feels like a home." Rankster was thoughtful. He looked at Elizabeth quietly for a while. "Have you worked in Mamy Restaurant before?"

"Cough, cough, cough…" Elizabeth suddenly choked and coughed.

Rankster quickly conjured up a glass of ice water and gave it to her.

Elizabeth took a few sips and calmed down. Looking at the glass of ice water, she calmly said, "This would be a glass of warm water if it was Boss Mag."

Rankster scratched his head and embarrassedly chuckled. "I've learnt that now."

Elizabeth finished all the fried rice on the plate. She put down the spoon and asked Rankster, "Father, when do you intend to acknowledge Miya?"

Rankster's eyes became smiley when Miya was mentioned. "I just met her. She looks very well-behaved and a little like you, but her temper is milder."

"Do you think that I have a bad temper?" Elizabeth asked.

"N-no." Rankster's expression froze. "I'm just saying that life's hardships didn't make her dejected. That made me rather gratified."

"So, when do you intend to acknowledge her?"

"Today. Let's wait for her on her way back after work," Rankster replied.

"Alright." Elizabeth nodded.

"See you guys tomorrow." Mag stood at the door and waved goodbye to all the ladies. He watched the young and energetic maidens leave.

Irina stood behind Mag, holding a glass of milk and smilingly asked, "Do you think Rankster will acknowledge Miya today?"

Mag turned around and saw the milk mustache on her upper lip. He nodded with a smile. "I guess he will. He isn't a patient fellow."

"What about you?" Irina licked her lips and revealed an attractive smile.

"I'm not, either." Mag closed the door and then picked up Irina.

"I'm only toying with you. I haven't finished the milk yet," Irina said coyly.

"Don't worry. There will be plenty of it later."

There were two figures standing against the moonlight in the middle of the street, making the ladies, who were returning to the dormitory, put their guard up.

Yabemiya halted her steps and her eyes lit up when she saw those two figures. However, she became a little panicked when her gaze landed on that strapping figure.

"It's Elizabeth?!" Gina exclaimed and let down her guard.

"It's indeed Elizabeth!" Everyone quickly ascertained who the maiden on the side was.

However, Babla narrowed her eyes when she saw the man standing next to Elizabeth.

It was a familiar aura. She had seen that man on the battle front at the extreme north.

Rankster, the frost dragon that created a big problem for the allied forces, who was also Elizabeth's father.

What was he doing here in Chaos City? Why was he blocking their way?

"Ladies… please go back first. I would like to be alone with Elizabeth for a while," Miya said.

Although the ladies were a little perplexed when they heard Miya's words, they still returned to the dormitory after they greeted Elizabeth.

Only three people were left on the street.

"Miya!" Elizabeth strode forward and hugged Miya.

When she was on the brink of death at the frontline on the ice sheets, she had thought of Miya, her little sister, who was one of the few people that still loved and cared for her in this world.

"Big Sister." Yabemiya also hugged her tightly. Her constant worries and longing finally had a perfect ending now. It was naturally best that her big sister was fine.

Then, her gaze landed on that strapping figure. There were already tears glistening in her eyes when she softly asked, "I-is that him?"
