Hearing Bolun's request, there was a hint of hesitation in the voice of the personal butler.

"Master Bolun, the 'Food and Wine Pavilion' is not for sale."

"Then pay a high price!"

"Out until they can't refuse!"

Bolun said lightly.

Of course, he knew that the 'Food and Wine Pavilion' claimed to be non-sale, but he knew better that the so-called non-sale was just that the bidder's price was not in place.

When the price is in place, all 'non-sale' will only become normal 'trading goods'.

Or rather, there is nothing in the world that does not have a price.

But, you need to know how to bid.

This is also recorded in the notes of his ancestors.

Bolun thinks it makes sense.

Just like at this moment.

He stood at the door of Tonio's restaurant, looking at the darkness in the distance, and the young man was sure that under the cover of the darkness, there must be quite a few 'mysterious people' gathered there.

Why?

Quite simply, he's treating Jason to dinner.

Jason 'Shipcutter' was in the restaurant behind him.

And he?

More than once they have rejected and played.

When a clown-like 'little man' like him sits down with a 'big man' like a 'ship cutter', what will he do?

They were worried that he would do something worrying.

Grudge?

Resentment?

Nope.

Bolun knew very well that what happened to him before was not the fault of these people.

He brought it on himself.

So, he won't be angry with these people.

Of course, he was not in a position to anger these people.

That doesn't mean he doesn't do anything, though.

Standing up straight, the wave wheel raised his right hand, drew a circle from the chin, raised it to the top of his head, and then, with the other hand behind his back, bowed almost 90 degrees.

It is also one of the ancient rituals.

It represents an invitation and a thank you.

After doing all this, Polon turned and headed back to Tonyo's restaurant.

He knew that he didn't need to do much.

The more you do, the more you get wrong.

Just do a little and the rest?

Let those people play!

Bully people by flaunting one's powerful connections?

No!

He prefers to call it 'human sophistication'.

Human favor is a shield to protect his safety.

The world is a sword, and he slays the enemy for him.

These are also the words left in the notes of his ancestors.

Although he doesn't know what his ancestors did, one thing is certain: his ancestors must have been extremely qualified...... No, it's a very good businessman.

Although what happened in the end forced this ancestor to live in seclusion here.

But that doesn't stop the patriarch from succeeding.

And he?

The success of his ancestors needs to be replicated.

At the same time, he completely buried the name of his ancestors in the bottom of his heart.

He didn't know where the enemies of his fathers were.

It is even more unclear how strong the other side is.

In his not really strong up.

Silence and secrecy will go hand in hand.

As for growing up?

Secrecy is still a lifelong observance.

Silence needs to be changed slightly.

But that's a far, far away thing, so far away that the wave wheel is just an idea and won't be considered at all.

Jingle bells!

The wind chimes sounded in his ears, and Bolun walked into the restaurant.

He saw Jason again, who was full of love for food, and his friend Emily, who had eaten too much and collapsed in a chair.

"How's it going?"

Emily asked, gasping for breath.

Although as a lady, she should control the amount of food and maintain her figure, Tonio's food is so delicious that she can't bear it at all, especially when she watches Jason swallow food heavily, an unprecedented hunger fills her stomach, and if she is not careful, she becomes the appearance of eating now.

And, more importantly, she found that she was so happy now!

The feeling of your stomach being filled with food is so refreshing!

Even, she was already looking forward to the supper afterward.

What will it be?

Not too sweet, too oily.

The sweet ones will get fat.

But if it's not sweet or oily, won't the food become unpalatable?

Emily frowned at the thought.

"Just wait for news."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched the top of Emily's head.

The fluffy feeling is a bit like a lamb touching the fried fur after the rain.

What Emily was thinking, Pola could probably guess.

Emily is not a complicated person.

It was because of this that he and her were able to become friends.

Friends, complementarity is the best state, isn't it?

Pulling out the chair, Wave Wheel sat down, and looked at Jason, who was motioning to Tonio to continue serving, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Jason was the most palatable of all the people he had ever met.

That's not bad news for him.

At least this proves that Jason most likely really likes to eat.

Even if it is disguised, with such a stomach, I am afraid that it is still in it, and I can't extricate myself.

When Bolun watched Jason face the food brought by Toneo again, he had been able to endure and restrain his Bolun because of the plan in his heart, and he couldn't help but salivate.

Subconsciously, Bolun looked at his plate.

There is a steak inside.

Only one steak.

The drink is water.

At this moment, the steak was already cold, but Bolun couldn't help but pick up the knife and fork.

With the help of a fork, the knife cuts a corner of the steak very easily.

Laugh at!

A burst of hot air rushed out of the incision.

The rich aroma of meat came to his face, and all of it burrowed into Bolun's nose.

Bolun involuntarily inhaled.

It smells so good!

He looked at the steak on his plate with evaluation.

It looks like a regular steak, but it is divided into two layers: inside and outside.

The outer layer of meat wraps around the inner meat, which acts as a heat preservation.

But when the wave wheel put the cut steak into his mouth, an accident appeared-

Crunch!

A crisp sound sounded in the mouth.

That's not the sound that beef should be.

Wave Wheel was surprised, he could feel the characteristic heaviness of beef on the tip of his tongue, but Wave Wheel was more concerned about the crispiness.

Be......

Potato!

After tasting it carefully, Bolun made a judgment.

"The mashed potatoes are fried and made into a meat-like 'shell' that is placed on top of a real steak...... Well, that's amazing. ”

Wave Wheel never skimps on his praise.

Because, it's worth it.

Not only can you appear to be generous, but you can also gain a certain amount of favor from the person being praised.

What's more, the dishes in front of you are really commendable.

At the very least, he couldn't imagine how to make mashed potatoes look like beef, and it masked his taste, and he couldn't tell the difference without tasting it.

And also......

Has he been seen through again?

Although he didn't expect to be able to hide from these 'mysterious people', this feeling of being seen through at a glance really frustrated him!

Thinking about it, Bolun couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Then, the young man simply devoted himself to the delicious food.

Now that it has been thoroughly seen, there is no need to disguise it anymore.

This is an insult to him, and to the people around him.

Drop the disguised wave wheel and tug at the neckline, roll up your sleeves, and start enjoying your dinner.

"Tonio, can you bring me this special steak too?"

Jason looked at Polun's appearance and couldn't help but say to Tonio.

"Of course."

Tonio replied with a smile.

Just five minutes later, a special steak was brought out and placed in front of Jason.

"I recommend letting it cool before eating it, so that you can better appreciate the taste."

"I cooked the mashed potatoes in beef broth for more than 10 hours, and after thoroughly blending the flavor of the beef into it, I made the outer 'shell', and the 'shell' of this dish is far more exciting than the inside."

"Potatoes turned into beef."

"Beef is still beef."

"And when the two are together, they are not separated from each other, they have the same taste."

Tonio explained.

But when the words fell, Tonio curled the corners of his mouth at the wave wheel.

It was a kind smile.

And the words just now?

Nature is a kind reminder.

The rather intelligent Bolun understood what the chef meant almost immediately.

Cooling, means calm.

Beef?

It should represent the 'mystery side'.

And the potato represents him who has not come into contact with the 'mysterious side'.

The last sentence reminds him that the two can live in the same world without distinguishing each other, officially because of the 'tolerance' of ordinary people like 'him'.

The 'mystical side' is built on the basis of ordinary people.

Of course, it may also mean that the 'mysterious side' will eventually accept him and tell him not to rush and not to do anything out of the ordinary.

As for why Tonio would use this dish to 'hint' at him?

Except for the 'mysterious people' outside, Bolun couldn't think of anything else.

You know, Tonio's restaurant is also on the 'Street of Memories'!

Smack, smack.

"Chef Tonio, you're a far better chef than I thought."

Bolun praised from the bottom of his heart.

"My cooking skills have also been honed day after day, when you have a goal, you don't need to give up in a hurry, you stick to it a little longer, and there will be different results."

This time, Tonio's words were no longer implicit, but very simply explicit.

Bolun replied with a smile.

No words, just a smile.

Tonio looked at such a smile and sighed slightly in his heart.

Do you refuse?

There are no words that are the clearest answer.

I'm afraid those guys are in big trouble!

Tonio's eyes turned to Jason.

Eventually, he turned around and returned to the kitchen.

He's a chef, and it's the ultimate to be able to do that.

More?

I'm afraid the food is going to go bad.

Polon saw Toneo's last gaze, and he calmly picked up the water and took a sip.

Angry?

No, it won't.

He doesn't have any identity that people 'care about'.

Isn't it normal to have such a situation?

Bolun told himself from the bottom of his heart.

However, his hand holding the water glass still trembled a little.

Sometimes that's how it is.

I knew all this, but I just couldn't control it.

The wave wheel is still young enough.

And the unique heart of young people makes him know that he should not be unwilling, but he just can't control it.

Emily, who was slumped in her chair, stood up and placed her hand on Bolun's other hand, with concern in her eyes.

"It's fine."

Bolun replied with a smile.

"It's going to be fine."

"Guess what happens when you're feared by a group of people who are far more powerful than you?"

Picking up the special steak, Jason swallowed it in one gulp, and said as he chewed.

The other party invited him to eat so much.

Although he hadn't fully figured out the ins and outs of the matter, Jason had already made a rough guess based on the events of that day, and then, Tonio's words just now confirmed his guess.

The wave wheel in front of him should not have given up the idea of learning the knowledge of the 'mysterious side'.

However, it did not work out.

On the contrary, they hit walls everywhere during this time.

Then, he appeared.

Looking at him as he appeared, Bolun was going to make a desperate move.

Then, it became the current situation.

What the Wave Wheel wanted to do, Jason knew.

However, Jason thought he should remind the other party.

Otherwise, he can't guarantee what will happen to the other party after he 'really leaves'.

There are real warriors like the old instructors in the 'mysterious side', but more people are secretive.

Those people are not merciful.

Jason's sudden voice immediately caught Emily's attention.

The girl saw this as an opportunity.

Immediately glared at the wave wheel.

But Bolun turned a blind eye, and the young man looked at the tall Jason in front of him, and after a slight groan, he said, "I can roughly think of it." ”

Then, there is silence.

Wave Wheel fell silent again.

Didn't ask for help.

There is no requirement to ask for advice.

This made Emily very anxious.

At that moment, the girl couldn't help but want to speak, but was stopped by Bolun.

"And then, what are you going to do?"

Jason asked.

"Two paths."

"Resist, and die."

"Obedience, then death."

Bolun replied honestly.

"You're not afraid?"

Jason looked at the roller curiously.

"Does fear work?"

"If fear can be useful and can get me out of the situation in front of me, I don't mind it."

"But it didn't work."

"It's better to deal with it calmly."

Bolun smiled.

"Which path are you going to take?"

Jason continued.

"Resist!"

Bolun said without hesitation.

"You might be miserable."

Jason reminded.

This time, instead of answering right away, Bolun sat up straight.

The young man looked at Jason, his eyes were full of seriousness, and his words were even more firm than ever-

"It's better than mediocrity!"

Jason stared into the young man's gaze.

That kind of determined gaze, he often sees.

That's what he looks like when he makes some kind of decision.

"Someone once said that plainness is true, and ordinariness is bliss."

Jason smiled and said.

"Those who have said this have seen the real mountains and rivers, the grasslands and the sky, and the storms when the waves roll in the sea!"

"Such a person has the qualifications to say such things."

"And I, no!"

"I was just floating in a small puddle, but I saw the 'magnificent sea', and I couldn't comfort myself calmly like everyone else under such a premise: ordinary is true, ordinary is bliss."

Bolun said word by word.

"Unwilling?"

Jason asked.

"Well, unwillingly."

Bolun nodded.

"It's good to be young."

Jason sighed, and then, after a pause, suddenly asked, "Do you know why the ugly duckling can become a swan?" ”

Such a question caused Emily, who sat on the sidelines and had no sense of participation, to straighten her back immediately.

It's 'you'!

It's not 'you'!

Naturally, she is included!

The girls, who had been waiting for a long time, saw this as an opportunity for Jason to teach them.

As long as you answer correctly, you will have a chance!

Therefore, the girl spoke before the wave wheel.

"It's because it's hard enough!"

The girl said confidently.

Bolun shook his head.

"No, it's because it's a swan itself!"

The young man replied.

"yes, because it's a swan itself!"

Jason said, just throwing his translated 'Livia Notes' to the other party.

Livia was looking for someone who could pass on the 'Silver Glory', and he didn't give any specific requirements, and he thought that the young man in front of him was good.

It's definitely not because the other party invited him to dinner.

It's just that it feels good.

The wave wheel that caught the notebook was stunned.

He flipped through the contents of his notes slightly, and his whole body trembled.

This notebook is what he has been pursuing, but he can't ask for!

Right now!

It just appeared in his hands.

The feeling of unreality made Bolun have a complete gaffe.

So much so that he didn't see Jason walking towards the door at all.

Jason, who had reached the door, stopped, turned his head to look at the wave wheel, and spoke directly.

"Didn't you say a late-night snack?"

"You're going to pay your bills?"

Bolun quickly came back to his senses, immediately shook his head, stood up with a smile and said-

"Of course not."

"Even if I give it all I have, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
