CHAPTER 792: HIRING A CHEF

"Do you feel energy filling your body?" Dnanta grinned.

"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes in shock. It was true. He suddenly felt a surge of energy coming from out of nowhere. "This is..."

Rin smiled and explained, "I specialize in healthy food. Healthy foods are divided into two in general. The first one is the food that gives you health benefits in the long run, and the second one is the food that gives you health benefits in the short run.

"What you are eating is the second one. With the addition of the benefits from eating food that has essence, it can spike a certain amount of energy. You will be able to experience strength for a period of time."

"!!!" Clovis was stunned. Isn’t this food from his mall’s restaurants?

When he thought about it, a lot of things came to his mind. The first one was his raw ingredients as well as the restaurants. It was something that could come from Rin.

There were also the medicines or even the recovery water. Lucifania had the ability to make one.

He couldn’t help wondering if it was something linked to what he had. However, this was meat that no one had ever tasted before. So how could they have known about it?

Clovis felt weird. On the one hand, it looked like it originated from someone else. On the other hand, the items were too foreign to be the case.

Clovis wanted to bring out the restaurant food right away, but he didn’t know whether it was the correct choice or not. Although he was curious, showing the ingredients was the extent of what he could do.

After some thoughts, he decided to keep it quiet. He wasn’t strong enough to reveal that secret whenever he liked.

Dnanta squinted his eyes. "I noticed the shock at first, but it wasn’t as much as I expected."

Clovis gave a faint smile. "Well, I’m shocked. I just don’t know how to react properly to that information."

"Really?" Dnanta felt suspicious, but he didn’t push further. He shrugged and sighed. "Let’s leave it at that."

Clovis nodded and continued eating.

Rin didn’t know how to feel from that lack of reaction. Her information wasn’t that well-known, so even if Clovis had researched her father, there should still be more reaction after knowing about her food.

Dnanta, on the other hand, shifted the topic by pointing at the plastic bag Clovis brought. "Rin. It’s time for you to check what’s inside the bag."

"Yes?" Rin was confused, forgetting Clovis’ claim about bankrupting her father. She had been too fixated on her menu.

Once she opened the plastic bag, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes. "This is..."

Just like the nugget, everything looked like it was something from a supermarket. However, when she examined them, she realized the ingredients were nothing like they had seen before.

Rin gasped. "Father..."

"As you probably already know, I know nothing about them." Dnanta shrugged. "Let’s see. There are ten ingredients, so I will pay you 100 million this time. Young man, are you seriously going to continue? At this rate, I will be bankrupt in a few days. It’s not like you need money, right?"

"Ahaha. What are you talking about? Hana’s money is hers. My money is what I earn." Clovis shrugged. "While the number can’t be compared to what has been injected into my project, money is still money."

"You are really bullying this old man." Dnanta chuckled. He thought for a moment before asking, "How about hiring Rin as a chef for a few days as a payment?"

"!!!" Clovis raised his head while Rin gasped. "Father?"

"Why are you surprised? Aren’t you coming here to try to recruit me?" Dnanta shrugged.

Clovis hesitated before revealing the reason. "That was what I thought in the beginning."

"Not now?"

"After learning about your integrity, I don’t wish to taint your integrity with my own desire. Isn’t that the basic respect you should give to others? You have been willing to invite me to your wonderful restaurant. I can’t be ungrateful by repaying your kindness with such actions."

Dnanta fell silent. From Clovis’ eyes, he didn’t see any lies. There were people like this in the past, who showed restraint just to make him hold a high opinion of them. However, they usually slip up after tasting a lot of things.

In his eyes, Clovis was either telling the truth or a liar that surpassed those old foxes.

Dnanta raised one finger. "In that case, how about this? You may hire my daughter as your group’s chef. As long as you don’t ask her to fight, it doesn’t count as breaking my integrity.

"In exchange, allow her to cook with all these new ingredients. What do you think?"

It was definitely a good idea. Even if it didn’t show Dnanta’s favor, it was enough to send a message.

If it were anyone else, they would have agreed immediately. However, hiring her as a chef would mean revealing some secrets of their Libation Fiesta to her.

After some thoughts, Clovis glanced at Rin while replying, "That will be your daughter’s decision. She is already an adult who can make decisions herself. Rather than receiving your promise, I believe I should respect her decision more."

Clovis didn’t notice it, but Dnanta’s lips curved slightly. Dnanta asked, "That’s how it is. What do you think, Rin?"

"That’s..." Rin weighed the pros and cons before raising one finger. "I would like to ask for one more condition. If I join, please give me a few more ingredients to send back home. I want my dad to work around with the ingredients as well."

It was Dnanta’s turn to be surprised. He was giving a way for his daughter to soar into the sky, but his daughter ended up opening another way for him. New ingredients were his goal, and he decided to give it up for the sake of his daughter. Yet, his daughter wanted to give it to him.

Clovis smiled. "I shall respect your decision. If you come as the chef, I will give you enough ingredients for you and your father to test it."
