“The Hairless Monk has broken out of prison!”

“Lock down the Bastie Prison!!!”

Shrill alarms rang throughout the entire Bastie Prison, and magical screens began to rise up in the prison. All the prisoners in the activity zones were escorted back to their cells, and prison guards were running in the corridors, using their batons to tame the agitated prisoners.

Deputy warden Jonathan gazed at that empty walkway’s opening, and nervously said, “Warden, what… will we do now…”

The thick and heavy iron door was nailed to a wall hundreds of meters away. The metal doorframe was already totally twisted out of shape. One could only imagine the kind of terrifying power that it was subjected to.

Next to him, the warden who was tall and slender and wearing black robes and a hat studied the doorframe and the deep foot imprint for a moment before saying in a hoarse voice, “Where did he go?”

“Toward Aden Square. Someone said he jumped over there,” Jonathan quickly said.

It was a huge event when someone broke out of the prison successfully.

The Bastie Prison had been set up for 100 years, and there was never a successful prison break before. Moreover, it was done by a 10th-tier felon.

“Inform the city lord’s castle and the Gray Temple. The Hairless Monk’s power is still at his peak. Request for backup.” Wisely walked toward Aden Square.

“Yes,” Jonathan answered as he watched the warden flip over the high walls. He turned and strode out.

The Hairless Monk at his peak was no doubt an extremely dangerous figure to a normal person. Only the strongest assault team sent out by the Gray Temple and city lord’s castle could capture him.

…

At the restaurant’s entrance, the customers stared at the door that was slowly closing with their mouths agape.

The intense tension and a duel between the legendary powerhouses that was almost to start were resolved so peacefully by Little Boss’ cuteness and Boss Mag’s new item?

“I say, was that indeed the real Hairless Monk? Given his character that let him easily massacre an entire city, did he really give up a fight just for a bowl of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’?”

“Even though I thought it isn’t very reasonable too, looking at the reactions from the Bastie Prison and Lord Krassu and Lord Urien having a tie with him, it would indeed be unreasonable if he wasn’t the Hairless Monk.”

“Although I don’t know how powerful the Hairless Monk is, what I am sure of is that the new item that Boss Mag made this time must be very delicious…”

The customers discussed softly, and nobody dared to go near the restaurant for a while.

…

Amy led Rex into the restaurant with Krassu and Urien following them in. One was guarding Amy behind her and the other followed close by. They were both looking at the Hairless Monk with an alert gaze.

They had both fought with this man before, so they were very aware of his unpredictable character and powerful capabilities.

Rex followed behind Amy with his hands behind his back. His gaze swept across the murals on the restaurant’s walls. He took in the wall murals of different races, and was a little out of sorts.

100 years had passed in a flash, and this world had changed a lot.

Elizabeth stood in front of all the ladies as she watched Rex warily. She had heard all their conversation earlier. The name of the Hairless Monk was very notorious in the Norland Continent, so she naturally had heard of him too.

“Please have a seat, everyone. It so happens that we are about to have our dinner too. If you don’t mind, let’s eat together,” Mag said with a smile as he turned around. He wasn’t nervous at all. After all, he was a man who had been around, and had inherited Alex’s memory too, so he felt on par with any experts he met.

Two tables were put side by side, and all sorts of scrumptious food was placed on them. They were indeed preparing to eat dinner.

“Then, we will need to add another table and three more chairs.” Yabemiya walked out from behind Elizabeth, and carried a table to join with the other two before carrying another three chairs over.

“You will sit here,” Amy said to Rex and pointed at a corner seat.

Rex’s gaze swept across everyone before landing on Amy again. There wasn’t a hint of fear in the little one’s innocent gaze. After a moment of hesitation, he complied with Amy’s arrangement and sat down.

Krassu and Urien sat down on his left and right. They gave each other a look without speaking a single word.

With the two great magic casters holding down the fort, Mag indicated to the ladies to take their seats while he walked toward the kitchen. The ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ was only half-revealed earlier. He still had not scooped it out.

10 black terracotta bowls were lined up. He used the big soup ladle to scoop the thick ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ into the bowl. Then, he put the shark’s fins, abalone, and the rest of 30 ingredients into each and every bowl. He made sure every ingredient was present in each bowl to ensure that everyone could taste the complete ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’.

“Miya, Babla,” Mag called, and the two of them quickly came in and helped to carry the bowls of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ out.

The thick brown soup was piping hot. The fragrance of the wine greeted their noses and went straight into their organs. All the different ingredients were competing with one other, and they made everyone’s eyes lit up.

This is the smell! Rex stared at the black terracotta bowl in front of him in disbelief. The rich aroma washed over him together with the steam. This was exactly the smell he was searching for.

It actually wasn’t a miracle drug, and was a dish instead.

There were all sorts of ingredients in the thick broth. The ingredients were visibly soft and tender, but they still retained their original shape. They didn’t turn mushy because of the stewing.

For the past 100 years, he had almost forgotten about the taste of food.

Even though the Bastie Prison would provide him with a fixed amount of food every day at a fixed time, he only ate a little whenever he remembered. He would mechanically chew and swallow the bland food. Only a little food could sustain him for a long time.

The last time he ate was approximately… one month ago?

The table was full of brightly colored food, and the whiff of aroma that greeted him made him expectant.

“I am going to dig in.” Amy was the first to pick up the spoon. She scooped a spoonful of the thick broth, and blew at it gently before putting it into her mouth.

“Gulp.”

After swallowing the broth, an elated look appeared on Amy’s face. She swayed her head left and right as she happily exclaimed, “It’s so delicious.”

After speaking, she scooped up a piece of shark’s fins which looked like a jelly. She sucked it in, and it simply glided into her mouth.

“Woo…”

“It’s fun and delicious. It’s so interesting,” Amy said excitedly. As if she was digging for treasures, she used the spoon to dig around for the next ingredient.

Amy is enjoying her food so much.

Everyone swallowed their saliva, and then began to pick up their spoons.

Rex finally retrieved his gaze from Amy. After some hesitation, he, too, picked up the spoon. He held the spoon awkwardly as he scooped up a spoonful of broth, and put it in his mouth.
