“I have really bothered you. I don"t even know how to thank you properly.” Angus bowed deeply at Mag with red eyes.
“It is not a bother at all.” Mag shook his head with a smile before he walked upstairs. He retrieved three stacks of pictures from his wardrobe. The system had sent them to the wrong place.
The pictures resembled color photos closely, but in order to look like they were drawn, they were oil paintings, actually. The man in the three pictures looked similar, but there were slight differences in the shape of his face and features. He looked rather handsome with the mole in the middle left of his brows and the crescent-shaped scar. He didn"t look like everyone else.
Beside the frontal view, the system also drew out the left and right profile for each picture.
“He most likely didn"t come to Mamy Restaurant before. I don"t have an impression of him.” Mag stared at those three pictures for a while and then shook his head. He asked in his heart, “System, out of these three pictures, which one has the highest probability to look the most like him now?”
“According to the comparison done by this system on 100 million copies of human genetic samples, the probability that he would turn out like the middle picture is 95%. The other two pictures were just supplementary,” the system replied.
“This one, then.” Mag threw the other two sets of pictures into the trash bin. He kept one picture in his ap.r.o.n pocket before he brought another one downstairs.
Angus had finished his second mug of beer, and he didn"t touch most of the beef kebabs on the plate. He kept looking at the staircase with an anxious gaze.
“Did this grandpa lose his child? It"s so sad.” Anna looked at Angus with pity from the kitchen.
“Yes.” Firis nodded too before she curiously said, “Boss only listened to how he described his child at the age of five. Could Boss really draw how he looks like now?”
Mag came down, and Angus stood up immediately.
“This could be how he looks like now.” Mag pa.s.sed the picture to Angus directly.
Angus received the picture with shaking hands. His tears began to fall after just taking one look.
The young man in the picture looked 70-80% like him when he was young. His eyes were exactly like the child in his memory. He could confirm that this was his child with just a single look.
“Thank you, thank you so much. This is my child. This really is my child.” Angus bowed deeply at Mag. Words couldn"t describe his grat.i.tude.
“Uncle Mag really drew how that child looks like now! He"s awesome!” Anna looked at Mag reverently.
“Yes, and he did it so fast. It only took him a moment to do it.” Firis looked astonished too.
Mag reached out to help Angus up. He smilingly said, “Don"t mention it. Take this picture and go ask the city lord"s castle for help. They would provide you with a place to stay and some food for the time being. As for whether they will conduct a wide-spread search for you, I am not very sure about that. At the same time, I will put up a missing-person notice at my restaurant"s entrance. I will also inform you immediately if I have any news.”
“Thank you, thank you.” Angus kept repeating this phrase to Mag.
“I wish every child who is forced to leave their home can find their way back home soon.” Mag shook his head and smiled.
Angus managed to calm down after a while, and kept that picture carefully. He turned and saw that a long line was already forming out outside of the restaurant. He hastily said, “The customers are coming. I cannot affect Boss"s business. I shall leave right now.”
“You don"t have to hurry. It"s not time for business yet,” Mag consoled him.
“I couldn"t pay for this meal after eating such delicious food cooked by Boss. I am really ashamed…” Angus looked at the empty bowl on the table with an apologetic look.
“No, you could.” Mag shook his head, and smilingly said, “This meal cost a total of one copper coin.”
Angus was a little stunned before he smiled. He reached in and took out two copper coins and placed them in Mag"s hand. “One copper coin is for the meal, the other copper coin is to show my respect for the delicious food.”
“Thank you. This is the best compliment I had today,” Mag said smilingly as he kept both coins. Even though one copper coin was not much, no customer had ever used half of their fortune as a tip.
“I am Angus. How may I address you?” Angus asked Mag as he was sending him out at the door.
“You may call me Boss Mag like everyone,” Mag said smilingly.
“Thank you, Boss Mag.” Angus bowed again before leaving slowly.
“Why is a customer leaving after his meal when the restaurant is not open yet?”
“Boss Mag is sending him out personally. Could he be some big shot?”
The customers in the line were discussing curiously. This wasn"t a common sight.
“There will be a release of a new dish this afternoon—red braised pork.” Mag didn"t explain, but instead he told his customers about the new dish smilingly.
“Wow! You are too outstanding, Boss Mag! Another new dis.h.!.+”
“Although I don"t know what method of braising is red braise, it sounds very delicious!”
A commotion exploded amongst the customers. They were all excited beyond description.
Mag went in with a smile before he went upstairs to write the missing-person notice and stick on the picture. Then, he went down and pasted that missing-person notice at the door.
Although it was half an hour before the opening hours, there were already more than 100 people in the line. All of them were looking at Mag"s actions curiously.
“Dear customers, I have a favor to ask from you all. This is a missing-person notice. An old man from Rodu had wandered around Norland Continent for 25 years in search of his child, who was kidnapped by human traffickers 25 years ago. He is now in Chaos City. This could be how the child looks like now. There is also some basic information about him. If anyone can provide crucial information or find him directly, this restaurant will provide one set: a luxurious buffet set meal for two! Every dish on Mamy Restaurant"s menu will be free and unlimited. The two people shall utilize it together once,” Mag said to the customers loudly.
There was a moment of silence outside Mamy Restaurant before a commotion burst out again.
“My heavens! Did I hear it correctly? Every dish will be free and unlimited! This is the ultimate super reward!”
“Including the tofu pudding? If it includes the tofu pudding, I will marry anyone who finds him and brings me along!” a pretty woman screamed.
“Alright, I have found the method to find my significant other.”
