A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1498: I’ll Settle This

“A dirty transaction.
These disgusting maggots should just disappear from the surface of the earth.” Elizabeth raised her hand slowly, and the temperature around dropped.

Just then, she suddenly turned to look in the northwestern direction.
She squinted a little and hesitated for a while before she lowered her hand.
She snorted softly, and disappeared from outside the tearoom.

There were two 7th-tier powerhouses in the tearoom.
If she wanted to kill those three at the same time, she would have to put in everything she got.

Meanwhile, she could sense an 8th-tier aura moving.
It should be a patrolling officer from the Gray Temple.

She still wanted to stay in Chaos City and grow old with Miya.
If she attacked the three men suddenly, she might not be able to continue staying in Chaos City.

“He might be more suitable to solve such things.
Even though he’s not powerful enough, he has quite a lot of ideas,” Elizabeth muttered to herself.
The first person that came to her mind was Mag.

“Rena, are you alright? Who bullied you?” Yabemiya asked as she gently patted Rena’s back.

It was the first time she saw Rena crying so sadly, and she could not help but feel anxious.

“I… I’m fine.
I’m just in a bad mood.
I’m much better now that I’ve cried.” Rena gradually calmed down and took two steps back.
She looked at Yabemiya’s tear-stained clothes with embarrassment, and said, “I’m sorry, Miya, I’ve made you worried.”

“It’s alright.
We’re friends.” Miya shook her head, though she felt that Rena was not simply in a bad mood.
She saw Rena running out from that teahouse and becoming like this with her own eyes.

However, since Rena didn’t want to talk about it, she did not probe.

“It’s so cold outside.
Why don’t I send you back? I came out just now to practice flying,” Miya said.

“It’s alright.
I can go back on my own.
It’s just downstairs.” Rena wiped her tears, and squeezed out a smile.
She shook her head, and said, “Go practice flying.
I’ll be off first.
Otherwise, my mother would be worried about me.”

Rena even waved goodbye to Yabemiya before quickly turning around to walk home.
That fellow was too dangerous, and she did not want Miya and the rest to fall prey because of her.

“Let’s go, out of the city,” Elizabeth said softly as she appeared beside Yabemiya.

“But Rena…”

“I’ll tell you on the way.” A giant snowflake appeared beneath Elizabeth, and the two disappeared in a blue flash.

“That is to say that someone is threatening Rena to leave Mamy Restaurant, and help him with his hot pot restaurant.
Rena would not agree to it, so he is using Rena’s mother to threaten her?” Yabemiya shot out a series of questions in shock as she looked at Elizabeth.

“Yes.” Elizabeth nodded.

Yabemiya thought carefully for a while before asking, “Then… Then how should we help her?”

“I wanted to kill them all.”

“D-did you?”

“No.”

“Whew…” Yabemiya let out a sigh of relief before reminding Elizabeth, “Murder in Chaos City is a very grave crime.”

“They don’t think that way.” Elizabeth shook her head.
When she saw Yabemiya’s worried face, she added, “But I don’t intend to kill them anymore.”

“Maybe we can let Boss settle this matter.
He would have a plan,” Yabemiya said as her eyes widened.

“Sounds good.” Elizabeth nodded calmly.

When Clarince opened the door, she saw Rena’s reddened eyes, and guessed that she must’ve cried.
She quickly grabbed Rena’s hands, and nervously asked, “Rena, what’s wrong? Did that man bully you?”

“No, it’s just too cold outside.
It’s so cold that I almost cried.” Rena shook her head as she rubbed her hands together and stomped her feet with exaggeration.
She closed the door with a smile, and said, “It’s so warm at home.”

“Silly child.” Clarince smiled before asking with concern, “Did you return the thing to him?”

“Mm-hm.
I returned it.” Rena nodded.
The image of Bennett’s face surfaced in her mind, and she clenched her fists subconsciously as fear enveloped her.

“That’s great.
That’s great.” Clarince smiled gladly.
She looked at Rena, and said, “I don’t need to live in riches.
I just want to live happily without a guilty conscience.”

“Mm-hm,” Rena responded softly as tears started welling up in her eyes.
She turned to her side and headed to the washroom as she said, “Mother, I’m a little tired.
I’ll take a shower and go to sleep.
You should sleep first.”

“Okay.
I’ll put your pajamas by the door.”

The next morning, Rena ran into Miya and the rest just as she walked out of her house.

“Good morning, Rena,” Miya greeted her with a smile.
After that, she hooked her arm with hers, and cheerily said, “You’re very pretty today too.”

Rena looked at Miya’s energetic smile, and felt a little warmer inside.
She greeted Miya back with a smile, and then greeted Elizabeth and the rest before they all walked to the restaurant together.

When they arrived at the end of the alley, Rena subconsciously turned back to glance at the teahouse that was named “Ben”.
She shuddered.

“Today seemed to have gotten colder.” Miya grabbed Rena’s cold hands with her warm hands, and smilingly said, “Rena, can I try the spicy hot pot you make tonight? Today feels like the best time to have hot pot.”

“I’m fine with it,” Babla agreed.

“Same here.” Connie raised her hand.

“M-me too,” Jane chimed in.

“Can’t we have it in the morning?” Elizabeth asked.

Everyone was slightly taken aback for a while before they burst out in laughter.

Rena also smiled.
The warmth traveled from her palms to her heart.

Therefore, Mag had hot pot early in the morning for no rhyme or reason.

He did not have a reason for not having hot pot in the morning.
After some careful thought, he decided that it wasn’t bad to have hot pot for breakfast except for the fact that it was a little troublesome.
The heat and spiciness could dispel the chill and tiredness.

After the morning operating hours, Elizabeth did not rush off.
Instead, she stayed back and waited for everyone to leave before telling Mag about what had happened in detail.

“Has recent competition become so fierce and vile?” Mag frowned.
It was not strange that someone outstanding would be poached, but he was really very unhappy about how they used such underhanded means to achieve their goal.

He knew very clearly how much Rena’s mother meant to her, and so he was a little touched that Rena would still choose to stay in Chaos City despite the threat and the attractive offer.

“I’ll settle this,” Mag said coldly as he threw his apron on the table at the side.
