94.79% The Strongest Beast Tamer / Chapter 182: Marie Attracts Trouble

Chương 182: Marie Attracts Trouble

The group continued their journey through the food district in Atlanta. They had currently already decided on a few places they could choose to set up their business; the most popular ones being the first two that they looked at. Mainly due to the fact that the area they were in already had plenty of people; adding in another lure might work to get themselves some of their own customers.

They were especially thinking about going with the plot of land right next to the two pubs. Mainly due to the fact that they would be able to get themselves some drunken customers. Which, although might be bothersome, can bring in a large amount of money.

As for now, the group was currently waiting for the others to join them. Flynn and Chloe were still in the process of signing documents and contracts to hire the two businesses for constructions. While Marie was either talking to the leader of the Explorer's Guild here or trying to find them.

The group was currently in one of the places they might've had to compete against. It was a Japanese style restaurant. When they walked into the restaurant, they all gasped from the extraordinary sight.

There were professional chefs everywhere, cooking in front of semi-circular tables where customers filled the sides. Large and intense flames sprouted upwards every now and then, causing some people to gasp from excitement and others to laugh.

Although it took a while to get through the line, they were swiftly escorted to a table with just enough spaces for their group. Mariel and her subordinates had already left them after escorting them around the food district. She had given them her number so that should anything ever occur they'll be able to call up and ask her for assistance.

There were, however, a few other people on their table. But they were in a world of their own, not paying any attention to the group as they enjoyed their meals. The group did send a message to all the others where they were so that once they've finished their deals, they can walk on over to get themselves a meal.

Everyone took a look at the menu, each ordering some food that some of them have never heard of before. It wasn't as though they've never been to a Japanese style restaurant before, it's just that the only ones around them that they've been to were sushi places. As it was easily the cheapest option to go with back before the world evolve.

However, now that everything has evolved, even the smallest of fish that was once used to eat in sushi could now swallow an entire human in one go. Lachlan decided to try and experiment with his taste buds. He already knew that the food, vegetables, and fruit were far tastier than they were before the world evolved so he wasn't all that afraid of whatever the food was.

Lachlan ordered Takoyaki, Joe and Zoe both ordered a serving of Prawn Gyoza, Georgia got herself Chicken Karaage along with an Eggplant Salad. Finally, Simon ordered a Sushi and Sashimi for both himself and Maddie who had decided to come down once they finished everything.

Valentina and her family were down in the city as well, looking at the spots that the group recommended to them. The family had been in the business for a while, their eyes were observant so they should be able to make much better decisions than them in terms of choosing the location of their restaurant.

Back on the table, another chef appeared. His attire was slightly different, as unlike the one on the table before that was in all while, the new chef was in a completely black set up. He messed around with the bench, causing some cut out within the shelf to be pulled out, revealing a deep fryer.

Once that was done, he bent over and opened up the cupboard, revealing his whole array of ingredients. The cupboard was heavily refrigerator so that nothing goes off when throughout the day. Also, it would allow the ingredients to stay fresh the slightest bit longer while being right next to the cooking station.

In a calm and composed manner, the chef pulled out a few ingredients, sheets of gyoza wrapper made from the normal ingredients which would just make it multiple times better. Followed by a mixture of sorts, filled with parts of prawn alongside some vegetables.

On the other side, the chef that was originally serving the table was now preparing for a much large dish. It was easy to tell due to the large plates in front of him. It seemed to have a black and marble-like exterior. He pulled out a variety of fishes, bringing forth an array of colours. Orange, pink, red, and white were the main ones while there were a few green vegetables right next to them.

The chef pulled out one of the large pieces of salmon onto his chopping board. He pulled out a knife from a drawer that glistened from the sharp edge. His facial expression remained unchanged throughout the entire action before he started slicing the fish into semi-thick pieces of sashimi.

The fish meat was a vibrant orange with thick glistening pieces of marbling. Although it wasn't really salmon rather they were evolved fish from salmon. Just one of the fishes could be used to in hundreds, if not thousands of salmon fishes stead.

It was one of the few fishes which happened to remain somewhat docile after the evolution. So, the government immediately put into action a plan to harvest and farm salmon through the use of saltwater somewhat deep within the mainland. These new and evolved breeds of salmon are then evenly distributed throughout America, the distribution is entirely reliant on the population of the city.

It was similar to a few other farms which managed to breed beasts. For example, there were a few farms near the centre of America that bred chickens as well as cows. Granted, the size of these farms were absolutely massive due to the beasts' sizes.

Anyway, it didn't take long before the meals were ready. The chefs worked in a professional and composed manner where just about everything was obsolete to them, no getting distracted by any of the noises. In some peoples' eyes, it was the working of an artist.

And the final masterpiece was the plates of food in front of them. The Sushi and Sashimi platter was covered in a variety of colours with small bits of vegetables in between the fish. The chef served it up gracefully in front of Simon and Maddy who both dug in through the use of chopsticks.

However, after living for so long without the use of chopsticks, the two of them have lost all skill involving it. Fortunately, it only took a few mistakes where they dropped the food back onto the plate before they managed to familiarise themselves with the technique.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the same for the others on the table. None of them knew how to eat with chopsticks, they never needed to know as it wasn't a necessity. They were all utterly defeated by the challenge of using a chopstick, their overwhelming strength even snapped a few accidentally.

"Can I have a fork please?" Lachlan asked politely with the shame of defeat weighing down his mood. Even stealing an entire Dragon King's castle wasn't as difficult as using chopsticks for him. His own strength was just too much for the chopsticks to handle. Lachlan turned to face Simon and sighed. "Seems you've managed to win this one."

Simon chuckled loudly as he raised his hands in the air for a sign of victory. "Yes, I've finally beaten you in something. Ha, how does it feel to be bested by chopsticks? I reckon it sucks doesn't it?" Simon had never really beaten Lachlan properly in anything, but his satisfaction reached a max just from that one comment from Lachlan alone.

"Don't let that ego get too big for you boots, I could still completely crush you in a fight, don't worry about that," Lachlan said in annoyance as his lips twitched slightly from Simon's questions. The chef placed a fork in front of Lachlan, and Lachlan picked it up with his eyebrow twitching. He hated having to admit defeat to an eating utensil.

"Hey chef, would you be able to teach me how to use a chopstick?" Lachlan asked politely as he put the fork back down. He would never ask Simon, that was the absolute bottom line he would never cross. If he were to ever ask Simon for help it was obvious that he was in a tough situation.

The chef smiled brightly, so bright it almost radiated light. He came around the table before standing next to Lachlan. In his hands were a pair of his own chopsticks. In a gentle and warm voice, the chef started to explain the process of how to use a chopstick properly. Finally, after a few minutes, Lachlan finally managed to get the hang of it.

However, it wasn't only Lachlan. Georgia, Zoe, and Joe were all listening in as well. Practising on the side, looking like complete clowns as they were perfecting their form. Eventually, they too managed to get the hang of it and eat their meals in a traditional manner.

It was another reason as to why the four didn't want to use a fork. When one takes a look around the restaurant, they would notice that everyone is using chopsticks; they didn't want to stick out amongst the crowd. Not to mention it wasn't all that bad to know how to use chopsticks. Mainly for when they start making their moves in Asia.

As they ate their meal, Flynn and Chloe managed to return. They were chatting casually with bright cheerful smiles. Once they reached the table Chloe gave them the good news. "Alright, the deal has been completed, and we've managed to get ourselves some workers and sponsors."

"Sponsors?" Lachlan questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Yup, the two companies are planning on sponsoring the academy through the use of free construction. As for our end of the deal, we just have to use their stuff. That's all," Flynn stepped forward to explain. "Their stuff has some small branding; the furniture and construction materials are all of good quality."

"That's great, so, when are they going to start?" Simon asked as he stuffed his mouth with sashimi.

"Well, they'll be starting in a few days. So, I will say that we're probably going to be here for a lot longer than usual," Flynn explained with nan odd expression. "However, this will also allow us to stabilise our position in the food district. As of now, we'll be able to harvest wild beasts ourselves for our businesses gaining a reputation."

"Alright, sounds good," Lachlan nodded.

With their heightened senses they started to hear someone running towards them, their breathing was quickened as they struggled to continue running. They heard shouts from behind the runner, shouts full of hatred.

Marie burst through the doors before dashing towards the table they were on. "Help! I don't know what I did wrong, but it seems I've managed to piss them off greatly." Marie sat on the ground and leaned against the table, taking deep breaths as she attempted to calm herself down.

A few more people burst through the door, metal bats in their hands as they portray an intimidating look to everyone. The leader of the group, full of tattoos and a bald head stepped forward before turning to Marie. "Where the hell do you think you're going? There isn't anywhere in these streets where you'll be safe."

Chương 183: Kawata Shozo

Lachlan swiftly analysed all the grunts before him and scoffed. It wasn't an understatement to say that just about anyone could beat them if they had a weapon on them.

Their group all stood up, standing in front of Marie and forming a defensive wall. They didn't exactly want to just lash out at some thugs, they were attempting to build an academy, they needed to work on their reputation. It wouldn't look good if the founders of the academy had short tempers.

Flynn stepped forward to mediate the situation in a professional manner. He raised his hand; his face was composed and calm. Unlike most, he knew that portraying an expression of awkwardness or weakness will prove fatal to a group of gang members. "I wonder what our friend could have done to displease you all so much. After all, she is just a small girl, I don't think you would want to be known as the gang that only bullies little girls. Do you?"

Flynn took the initiative to take the high ground in the conversation. Although, this only caused the gang members to lash out angrily with insults. The leader raised his arm horizontally to silence his crew before talking. "Well, your little friend there also happened to insult our boss greatly. Calling the tribal tattoo he has on his forearm the mark of a weakling."

The group turned to Marie and raised an eyebrow, gesturing for an explanation. Marie chuckled awkwardly as she scratched her head. "Well, it's true. The tribal tattoo he has comes from the small native American tribe located along the border of Canada. It's the tattoo given to the weakest in their tribe, it's given to the weakest to push that person further in life through hardship."

"There it is again, that bullshit mumble-jumble. Obviously, our leader's tribal tattoo means brave warrior, that's what he explained to us and I would say that he was far greater knowledge of his own tribe than you, little girl," The leader of the group scoffed angrily. "Now, hand her over and no one gets hurt."

"How about you come over and get it?" Lachlan asked sarcastically. The group showed no signs of budging, their feet were firmly planted into the ground. By doing it this way, they wouldn't be seen as bullies if they managed to just completely block off the gang members without using violence.

The gang members grunted before dashing forwards, their metal bats raised high in the air as they ran forward.

However, a shout was heard from behind the table. "Stop this at once!" The voice was powerful, it was coarse and rough but extremely fluid, a voice belonging to that of a calm and composed warrior.

The group's heads turned at once to find the source. What they discovered was the chef in black attire staring at the gang members with cold and sharp eyes. They were dark brown, almost black and pierced right through the bodies of the gang members.

The one leading the gang members was shaking nonstop as the members behind him all collapsed to their knees, their heads facing the ground as though they had already given up on life with their emotionless eyes. The leader of the members looked fearfully at the chef. "Who the hell are you? What the hell did you just do?"

The chef walked back around the table, giving off a chilling aura that overwhelmed the entire gang. Their bodies were shivering nonstop, they felt as though they were in the mouth of a beast. Slowly walking closer, one step at a time the chef explained in a deep and commanding voice. "Who are you to ask the questions? You come into my peaceful restaurant to disrupt the atmosphere and still have the courage to ask questions. Did you not look at the sign on your way in?"

One of the gang members stumbled and crawled his way to the door where he managed to get a glimpse of the sign. His expression changed to horror as he turned back to face the chef, his mouth opening and closing with no words coming out. Finally, the member managed to speak. "B-b-boss, we-we're currently at Odayakana Doragon!"

The leader of the small squad of gang members looked back towards the chef with horror in his eyes, he felt as though his very soul was sucked from his body. He swiftly got into a grovelling position by the chef's feet. "We're incredibly sorry for intruding! Please spare our lives!"

"Oh, so you still have the guts to ask for demands," The chef said chillingly as he squatted down next to the small squad gang leader. He spoke with confidence as he chuckled coldly. "Even your boss wouldn't ask for any demands from me. What gives you the right?"

The small squad gang leader truly felt final sap of his life get sucked from his body. He collapsed on the group, completely unconscious. The other members stared with wide sunken eyes, they stumbled and tumbled to the door before bursting into a sprint in all directions once they were out.

The chef turned back towards the group, he clasped his hands before bowing. "Incredibly sorry for that disturbance, I do hope you can sit back down and finish your meals, it would be sad for there to be such a waste. Also, you won't have to worry about that gang ever coming after your little friend again, we'll make sure of that."

Although the sound was only faint, Lachlan and the others were able to hear a couple of dozen people just dash away. The footsteps were almost completely silent, the chef's eyes widened at the reaction of the group. Their eyes were darting towards the direction of where his subordinates were. 'Hm, they don't appear to be the most ordinary of people.'

The chef returned to his station, he welcomes the new guests with open arms as the previous people on the table had left, creating the perfect amount of room. Marie, Flynn, and Chloe all picked up the menu and started ordering their food.

Marie ordered Agedashi Tofu, Flynn got himself a serving of Chawan Mushi while Chloe ordered Miso Soup. The two chefs immediately got to work, their skills in the kitchen were superb. They flowed steadily, preparing the ingredients one second before cooking it the next.

They pulled out a few more cut-outs on the stove, revealing a steamer as well as a saucepan. They started placing the ingredients in one after the other. The aroma filled the room mixing and fusing with the aroma of the other dishes being cooked elsewhere in the room.

Lachlan was constantly staring at the chef. His eyes darting between him and the screen in front of him.

--------------------------------------------------------

Although old, Lachlan had to give it to the oldie, his stats were still beyond most humans. To the point where it's almost scary. How strong could he have been in his prime when he's this strong during his weakened stage.

Kawata noticed Lachlan staring at him. He gave a quick glance with a slight smile before starting to talk as he continued to work. "You know, I'm quite curious as to how you were so confident in your abilities in standing up against those gang members."

"Well, I suppose they aren't the first gang we've fought before. However, I can confidently say they were certainly aren't the biggest," Lachlan explained as he took another bite of his Tokayaki. The doughy goodness filled his mouth before getting washed away with the taste of the ocean from the thinly sliced squid.

Although Lachlan wasn't sure where they managed to get themselves squid, he would say it was clearly the best squid he's ever tasted. It had a slightly chewy texture; however, the inside of the squid was filled with fine juices containing the ocean's wonders.

"Hoh, so I suppose you're quite the strong group then," Kawata said with a sharp glint in his eyes. "I wonder what you're doing in Atlanta. Since it's pretty obvious you're not from around here. I would have heard about it long ago if strong people were wandering the streets in rather vibrant armour."

Lachlan chuckled slightly along with the rest of the group. Flynn took the lead in the conversation in Lachlan's stead. "You certainly wouldn't be wrong. We're indeed not from Atlanta, to be honest, we aren't even from America. We're from Australia and if you want to know how we got here just take a couple of steps outside the restaurant look in the sky."

The chef wearing white cooking clothes turned towards the group with wide eyes of shock. "Boss, they're called Bloodied Wings. An organisation that even possesses the abilities to go toe to toe against the three Guardians. They're well known for their research results as well as the fact that they're able to defeat intelligent beasts."

"Hoh, so you're the infamous Bloodied Wings, I've heard quite a bit about you from family and friends," Kawata said as he nodded his head slowly. Kawate slowly tilted his head from side to side, looking slightly upwards while he still managed to work swiftly on the food. "I wonder, do you have a place for a Japanese restaurant on that island?"

"Oh, are you thinking of joining us then?" Flynn asked curiously. If they managed to get themselves another professional cook, they would absolutely start a small food court for when the students start rolling in. This way, the students would be able to enjoy life whenever they aren't training.

"Well I certainly wouldn't mind coming on board. Granted, I'll certainly need some time to prepare for that. It doesn't take a couple of seconds to just pack up and leave after all," Kawata explained calmly with a slight nod. "Also if I'm able to create a branch on that island it'll certainly cause for some great advertisement."

"Seems you have a lot of trust in our organisation," Flynn said. Kawata currently shouldn't know anything about their academy, he hadn't yet mentioned it to him. Therefore, it should be due to his trust in their reputation that they've managed to lure in his skills.

"Indeed, not to mention you've also allied yourself with I'm guessing Risky Miners and Fancy Fashion. Granted, I've got to hand it to your group, it's quite the impressive feat to get those two collaborating with on another," Kawata complimented. "As for how I know. Well, it's never a bad idea to keep your ear perked at all times."

Thinking back a bit, Flynn realised that he had mentioned the deals before. He mentioned it when he came into the restaurant and sat down. "Well, seems we've got to remember that we're currently surrounded by people. Some of which, might not have the friendliest of intents behind their presence."

The group nodded. Kawata continued on with an add-on to the explanation. "Also, it's never a bad idea to have multiple ears scattered around the city. Eyes as well."

"Oh, we'll take that advice into mind then," Flynn responded. He attempted to keep his ears perked for any information, however, his senses clearly weren't' high enough. In comparison though, most of the group wouldn't e able to do it as they seek information concerning their lives. The position of everyone in a room, what they might be carrying as well as how their mental state is currently going.

Granted, the mental state is more so for people currently going through a fury of anger. Shouting and resorting to violence instead of negotiation. Attacking both completely innocent bystanders alongside defensive forces.

The group swiftly finished their meals before Flynn left his number for Kawata. When they went to pay, Kawate rejected their payment as a sign of goodwill. They left the restaurant shortly after before heading back to the island to relax and possibly sleep.

Some of them spent hours searching the cities of suitable plots of land while others spent hours making proper deals. In the end however, they were all currently a bit exhausted mentally. Physically, they could fight for a few more days without rest.
