Guided by the waiter, Jason and Taniel entered the restaurant.
Just as they had seen from the outside, the entire restaurant was elegant and comfortable without crowded tables, just sporadic arrangements, with green plants used as screens that provided the right amount of concealment for the patrons.
It was neither deliberate nor embarrassing.
Two musicians were playing the violin.
Under the melodious music, Jason felt a sense of expectation for the ‘Starry Sky’ he was about to taste.
Taniel had undoubtedly done a lot of homework before coming.
After sitting down, the young teacher from Deer Academy said in a low voice,
“It is said that this dish was created to commemorate a great captain!”
The acutely perceptive Taniel could clearly sense that Jason had become dangerous at this moment.
“There’s also ‘Eel Jello’!”
Taniel pointed to the side, all the while feeling lucky about his own fortune.
Thank goodness he had added ‘Eel Jello’; otherwise, he was done for now.
Jason adjusted his breathing and was about to lift the small cover.
But just as a crack appeared, an indescribably foul, fishy stench assaulted them.
Jason’s hands pressed down on the cover hard, the silver lid creaking and beginning to deform.
“Is this ‘Eel Jello’?”
Taniel’s speech was utterly stammered now.
He too was frightened by that smell.
The odor was more terrifying than the time he accidentally mixed a fart beetle into the herring sauce.
But what was even more terrifying was…
Taniel looked at Jason, who stood up quietly, and raised his hands as he shouted:
“I only heard it from others.”
Taniel’s voice was almost filled with a sobbing tone.
But to Taniel’s surprise, the standing Jason did not aim that large-caliber hunting… no, the shotgun at his forehead; he turned and walked outside instead.
Taniel, puzzled, watched Jason’s retreating figure and absurdly asked:
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
Jason paused, turned his head, and said word by word—
“A gentleman can be killed, but not insulted!”
Jason walked out of the ‘Starry Sky’ restaurant, his head not turning back as he got straight onto the carriage.
Taniel followed a step behind.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw two people standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
If he wasn’t mistaken, one of them was a customer who had just been inside the restaurant.
Obviously, the person had left before they did.
“How was ‘Starry Sky’ restaurant?”
“How was that signature dish ‘Starry Sky’?””
The new customer, who clearly hadn’t been to ‘Starry Sky’ yet, asked the returning patron.
“Especially ‘Starry Sky’, fantastic!”
The returning patron extolled with an exaggerated expression.
The new customer hesitated a bit.
“Look, there are so many good reviews!”
These words convinced the new customer, and as they went to make a reservation at the restaurant, the returning patron’s face turned expressionless, and they quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
“Is this how ‘fame’ starts?!”
Taniel watched all this in a daze.
Then, he walked towards the carriage full of guilt.
He prepared to sincerely apologize to Jason.
But just then, a gun barrel silently pressed against his back.
Taniel’s face stiffened, and he immediately raised his hands.
“My wallet is in the upper pocket on the left side of my coat.”
“The revolver I carry is on my right side at the waist.”
“The most valuable potion is in the leather pouch on the left.”
Without hesitation, Taniel confessed everything.
A slight chuckle followed.
“You misunderstand, Mr. Taniel.”
“We just want to have a good talk with your friend, Lord Jason.”
As these words fell, several figures surrounded the carriage.
