Chapter 437: Chapter 403: Famous on the List

The famed restaurant truly lived up to its reputation from near and far.

The private room was built entirely of wood and was infused with a calming woodsy aroma.

There was also a fair-looking waitress standing by.

Jiang Xiao carefully listened to the conversations of the crowd in the hall through the small window of the private room.

He faintly heard something about a sudden death of the eldest daughter of the Song family from Liu Town...

The Song family?

The girl suddenly died?

Was it about the investigation at the Qingshui River?

"If you tell me that this eldest daughter is called Song Dalian, then I might just have to complain."

"This, this, and this!"

Huh?

As he snapped out of his thoughts, he realized that Bai Yi had already grabbed the menu from the waitress and was frantically ordering.

Jiang Xiao: "?"

Not... Are we eating now?

"Xiao Bai, have you forgotten the danger level in the Kaidan?"

"I know it’s very dangerous, which is why I want to fill up my stomach in this seemingly safer place so I have the energy!"

A reasonable explanation, and Jiang Xiao was unable to refute.

Eat then, who can out-eat you~

At this point, the discussions downstairs seemed to have reached a climax.

Someone, encouraged by alcohol, even started banging on the table.

"Hehe, corrupting morals, she deserved to die!"

"Brother, you shouldn’t speak like that, at the very least, Dalian didn’t deserve to die, right?"

"The only daughter, what a pity for the vast family fortune of the Song family, who knows who it will go to now..."

"How can parents be so cruel?"

"What do you know? Families of reputation care most about face."

"Hisss?"

Jiang Xiao gasped; it really was Dalian?

And from their fragmentary phrases, why did it sound so much like the familiar story he knew?

When in doubt, just ask.

Do the people of Dragon Country have a natural advantage when entering this Kaidan?

At this time, the chosen ones from other countries were quite clueless.

They followed the guidance of the Kaidan to the Eight Immortals Building to gather information.

Admittedly, they caught snippets like "[Liu Town][Song family][Dalian][Dalian suspected to have been killed by her own parents]."

But it all felt so chaotic...

What could they deduce from such disordered information?

It’s not as if they could blindly guess it was the Sixth Prince.

As they were intently listening at the window, the awaiting waitress approached them.

"Kind guests, may I take your order for some drinks and dishes?"

Indeed, as the waiter mentioned earlier, the prices of dishes and drinks in both the private rooms and the main hall were the same, but entering a private room mandated consumption.

Consumption in the private rooms being the same as downstairs ≠ not having to spend

"Um..."

The chosen ones hesitated, mainly because they were unsure about the level of expenditure here.

"Here is the menu."

Perceiving their embarrassment, the waitress smiled as she handed over the menu.

Just one glance, and one of them got infuriated.

"What!"

"Darn it! You don’t even have the famous kimchi?"

"Even the cheapest cabbage and tofu are 88, are you trying to rob us?!"

Rob?

The waitress’s expression darkened, then she clapped her hands.

The private room’s door was opened from the outside.

Two burly men, each over two meters tall and weighing more than 120kg, stood with their arms crossed, silently staring at Kaneno Ari.

"Long Da, Long Er, this guest says we’re robbing him, what do you say?"

"Oh, is that so? Should we satisfy his request, then?"

Seeing the smirk on the face of the approaching muscular man, the anger that had risen in Kaneno Ari quickly deflated.

"Actually, it’s not like that... I think it’s okay, what I ordered, isn’t that enough..."

Grinding his teeth, Kaneno Ari ordered the cheapest dish of peanuts, costing a significant 28.

However, the two muscular men didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving, still staring straight at him.

"Uh... maybe I’ll have another plate of cabbage and tofu?"

He eventually ordered a plate of edamame costing another 28, after which the two muscular men snorted coldly and left the room.

A meal slightly over a hundred, not that expensive, but the money worth on a chosen one’s person is limited, all given by Xiao Xue from above.

A little less with every bit spent.

"Ah, if only I had shamelessly asked for more money..."

But, Xiao Xue had witnessed her beloved and the fat pig Xin Yi right in front of her...

Probably wouldn’t have gotten it even if he asked.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao had none of these worries. It was just money after all...

He had emptied an entire city’s treasury.

And truth be told, the flavor of the food here wasn’t bad at all. He didn’t know what cuisine it was exactly, but it certainly suited Jiang Xiao and Bai Yi’s taste.

Especially Bai Yi.

Since coming out, she had been obsessed with binge eating. After being controlled by Sun Wei for so long, she was bursting at the seams.

At this moment, she let loose all her suppressed desires.

’Knock, knock, knock~’

As they were happily eating, someone knocked on the door.

"I’ll get it."

The maid smiled at Jiang Xiao, performed a respectful bow, and walked in small steps to open the door.

What she brought in next was a newspaper.

"Sir, this is the latest issue of the Hang City newspaper. Would you like to read it yourself, or shall I read it for you? If you’d like to browse it at your leisure, I can find a bag for you to keep it in, or I can put it away if you’re not interested."

Hmm?

So thoughtful?

Although the prices were a bit high, the service was indeed impeccable.

Jiang Xiao nodded, indicating that he would read it himself.

"All right, enjoy your meal."

With that, the maid walked back to a corner out of sight from Jiang Xiao and Bai Yi.

[My god? Why do you Dragon Country chosen ones get such good service?]

[What the heck! Our Mr. Hashimoto Ichiro got robbed! Why didn’t your Jiang Xiao!]

[Boo-hoo, our Mary was also forced to spend excessively, why? Do these maids have racial prejudice?]

These comments were quickly countered by people from Dragon Country.

[Haha, you only ordered a dish of peanuts, what are you barking about?]

[Exactly, they even arranged a private room for you, if not peanuts then edamame, who else should they force if not you?]

[Hahaha, that Kaneno Ari even asked them to serve him kimchi, how stingy can you get?]

.....

"Eh?"

Jiang Xiao’s eyes widened as he read the newspaper...

[Explanation of Magnetic Field Changes in Qingshan]

[On January 8th, a massive magnetic field fluctuation occurred suddenly at Qingshan High School, resulting in extensive injuries and property damage...]

Below were some official statements.

There was also a selection of interviews with those involved.

[Hehe, even if you don’t believe it, I still want to say, it was my buddy Jiang Xiao who did it! Jiang Xiao, the Thunder King!]

[My bro Xiao is invincible. Not only can he control electromagnetic storms, but he also loves to invite us to the snack bar to "take whatever," and he’s also our school beauty’s boyfriend. Though he’s gone, I know he’ll come back someday!]

These interview details were provided by Wang Qiang and Long Er, who preferred to remain anonymous.
