Chapter 2208: Friends Who Came From Afar
“So, where are you bringing me for good food today?” Georgina held onto Harrison’s arm as she bit onto the candied haws and asked smilingly, with two cute dimples on her cheeks.
Harrison stared at her in a daze.
Georgina blushed from his stare and poked him gently with her elbow. “I’m asking you a question.”
“Of course we’re going to Mamy Restaurant for a good meal, ” Harrison answered with a smile before saying “You look so pretty today.”
Georgina totally ignored his words, stood still and exclaimed with joy, “Boss Mag is back?!”
Harrison nodded. “Yes. Mamy Restaurant reopened today. Didn’t you go to your aunt’s place for lunch today? That’s why I want to bring you to dinner.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I wouldn’t have gone to my aunt’s for lunch if you had told me earlier. Of course, we’re going to eat at Mamy Restaurant!” Georgina puffed out her cheeks angrily and flicked an aggrieved glance at Harrison, giving him an ‘appease me or I’ll explode’ expression.
“As an apology, this is your birthday gift.” Harrison took out a picture book.
“What’s this?” Georgina took the picture book, which still had Harrison’s warmth, from him and her eyes lit up when she saw the adorable little mermaid on the cover. “So cute!”
After staring at the cover for some time, Georgina looked up at Harrison. “This must be very expensive, right?”
She didn’t know much about picture books, but she knew that fully-colored picture books were all hand-drawn by ill.u.s.trators, which were expensive.
Furthermore, the cover of this picture book was so beautiful. It must have been drawn by a great ill.u.s.trator, so it must be even more expensive.
Harrison smiled and said, “What’s most important is that you like it.”
Looking at Harrison’s warm smile, a blush rose up on Georgina’s face and her heart couldn’t help but race. She lowered her head and murmured, “Yes, I like it very much.”
“Let’s go and find a place to sit for a while first. It’s still too early for dinner.” Harrison held onto Georgina’s hand and walked to a teahouse.
“Boss Mag did not lie to me indeed! One simply can’t go wrong to trust Boss Mag!” Harrison said happily.
...
Georgina indeed liked this picture book. Of course… the ladies had no resistance against such cute picture books.
The birthday gift that he had been thinking hard about for one month was resolved on her birthday, so he felt extremely relieved.
***
At 5 p.m, Mamy Restaurant opened on time.
Molly and Eve had already completed their work today. They had sold all 1,000 picture books. After getting their daily wage of 1,000 copper coins and having their dinner, they got off work and went home.
Harold asked Mag when he walked in, “Boss Mag, is ‘The Little Mermaid’ all sold out? It’s my daughter’s birthday tomorrow and I want to give it to her as a birthday gift.”
“There’ll be another 1,000 copies for sale at noon tomorrow. You can come and buy it then,” Mag replied smilingly.
“Alright. Please keep one copy for me.” Harold reminded him.
He previously saw the customers lining up in front picking up the picture books, and was attracted by the exquisite picture book. He thought his daughter, whose birthday was tomorrow, would definitely like this picture book if he gave it to her as her gift.
Mag nodded slightly. He remembered this middle-aged man’s adorable daughter. Her name was Kathy and she used to come to have breakfast with Harold.
“So, this picture book is drawn by Boss Mag’s daughter. She’s so awesome!” Georgina looked at the signboard at the door with shock, but she wasn’t unhappy.
“Yes. Annie is very awesome.” Harrison nodded in agreement. “Boss Mag must have saved the world in his previous life to be so lucky to have these two outstanding and adorable daughters.”
Mag, who was about to go into the kitchen, thought, “I didn’t save the world in my previous life. Not only that, I fell into the sea and drowned because I was cursed by a group of chefs…”
However, he did save the world in this life.
Mag saw many old friends during the dinner hour.
Sargeras had brought his Burning Legion and they sat outside the door on the metal folding chairs that they brought themselves. They sat with their legs spread out wide and looked very fierce with their lava tattoos.
However, a little one in a long white dress was fearlessly sitting on the leg of the biggest demon among the strapping men and softly asked, “Uncle Big Bald Head, did you use the gift that I gave you?”
A gentle smile appeared on Sargeras’ tough face as he nodded and said, “I did. It even saved my life.”
If it wasn’t for the ice and fire lotuses that flew out from the ring that Amy gave him, which blew up the ancient corpses that were rus.h.i.+ng at him, he would have died on the frontline in the ravine that day.
Amy saved his life.
The members of the Burning Legion were also looking at Amy with a doting gaze.
“How is it? Are they very pretty?” Amy continued to ask.
“Yes. They were as brilliant as fireworks.”
“Did they beat the bad guys?”
“They defeated a lot of bad guys and saved the world.” Sargeras nodded with a smile.
“Oh yeah!” Amy jumped off Sargeras’ leg happily and ran into the restaurant. “Father! Uncle Big Bald Head said I saved the world…”
“Little Boss is so cute,” Mond said bashfully.
“From now on, Little Boss will be the Burning Legion’s favorite. I will kill whoever dares to bully her,” Sargeras said seriously.
The Burning Legion nodded gravely. They weren’t joking.
Amy walked one round in the restaurant before stopping at a table near the wall and exclaimed in surprise at the two orcs sitting there, “Big Orc! You’re finally here again!”
“Yes. I-I came to eat rainbow fried rice and to visit Little Amy,” Haga said bashfully.
Habeng looked up from the delicacies and said with amazement, “We’ve only been away for a short time and there are already so many new goodies. Boss Mag is really formidable.”
The orc brothers, Haga and Habeng, hadn’t come to Chaos City for a long time. After returning to their tribe from the battlefront, they took the flying steed to Chaos City to purchase some things for their tribe.
Of course, they would come to Mamy Restaurant first. They had been longing for Boss Mag’s good food. After risking their lives at the frontline, they naturally wanted to reward themselves with good food after they returned.
The restaurant still looked the same, but the menu had changed drastically. The many different kinds of delicacies had overwhelmed them.
Habeng searched on himself before taking out a beast tooth dagger and giving it to Amy with a smile.
“Are you giving it to me?” Amy accepted the dagger.
The small and delicate dagger was razor sharp and there were engravings on its handle. It could be kept in a leather scabbard.
Amy swung the dagger around as she said to Haga, “I like it very much. Thank you, Big Orc.”
“As long as you like it. Hehe.” Haga laughed. He was equally delighted.
Mag saw that in the kitchen and he smilingly said to Miya, who was about to serve the dishes, “Give a bottle of rum to the orc brothers at table 12. Tell them it’s my treat.”
One naturally had to treat his friends who came from afar with a good liquor.
