Chapter 48 - Guard

Lander was about to enter the kitchen when Lute came in shouting, "Master!"

"Lute! Don't you have manners? Do not shout when people are eating," Lander reprimanded him.

"Forgive me Master but I brought some news," Lute bowed down admitting his wrong doing.

"What is it?" Lander asked.

"The Head Professor of Amphiptere Academy together with all the Professors will have a meal this afternoon. The daughter of Sword Master Sancho together with his brothers and sister will arrive later and your Master, Great Duke Bobby together with the Respected Druid will be coming here tomorrow," Lute informed.

"Whose Sword Master Sancho? And haven't I told you that I never accepted Elder Bobby as my master as he only decided that on his own." Lander said with questioning gaze.

"You never told us about that Master, as for Sword Master Sancho, he is Itzel's father." Lute answered.

Lander then nodded and returned to the kitchen. Lute on the other hand asked Yan Yan things regarding the opening of the restaurant.

'Hmmm, that outcast actually has a slave? And was accepted by that Duke as a disciple? He even cooked this dishes? Interesting!' The old man was amused by Lander's background as he was sipping the broth of the pinikpikan.

"Do not again provoke that outcast!" The father of the teenager said resolutely when they heard Lute and Lander's conversation.

"Why father?" The teenager asked.

The grandfather knocked the head of the teenager, "Stupid! That elder who accepted him as a disciple is not someone whom our family could offend. Because of that, the Head Professor of Amphiptere Academy, Sword Master Sancho and the Respected Druid was his allies."

One by one, dishes came out from the kitchen was now being served by Yan Yan. Lute also helped her and was getting hungrier just smelling the aromatic fragrance of the dishes.

Outside the restaurant, the people who saw the bunch of people who created a commotion a while ago was now gossiping with each other, "What do you think is now happening inside?"

"I don't know but maybe the outcast was now dead and the Poton family was torturing the others."

"I don't agree because having that kind of restaurant name was someone who was strong enough to counter those who wanted to offend him."

"Then why don't we checked it ourselves?"

When someone said that, those people slowly begun moving towards the Heaven's Diner and when they entered, they saw people eating voraciously as if they could devour a whole cow.

"This isn't what we imagined," Those people who entered cried out in their hearts as they wanted to see action and hear swords hitting, arrows thrown and magic casted. Instead, they saw a bunch of people eating crazily while hearing the sound of plates and spoons clanking.

When Lander saw lots of people entering, he immediately went towards them and bowed, "Forgive me guests but there's no available table at the moment so if you could wait till someone finishes, then please form a line," Lander respectfully said while smiling.

When people heard him, they looked at each other but when they saw how the Poton Family ate, the others became hungry while the others left because they only wanted to see some actions.

The purple haired old man finished his dishes and was quite satisfied, it was really a Heaven's Diner because the foods served were so delicious that people could never forget once they tasted it.

"Hmmm, young man, could you come over?" The old man gazed at Lander.

"What can I help you with, Elder?" Lander asked.

"You see, I actually have no money and I can't pay you. So how about I become the guard of this diner?" The old man suggested with poker face.

Instead of being pissed because the old man can't pay, Lander laughed, "HAHAHA! Then I have to test you first to see if you are credible."

When the Poton family and the guests who recognized the old man was stunned by Lander's words and they all have the same thing on their minds, "Do you even know whom you're talking to?"

"Hmmm, test me? How?" The old man asked.

As Lander was only beside the old man who was still sitting, Lander extended his hand as it went straight towards the face of the old man. But the old man caught his hand, Lander kicked him on his waist but the old man caught it again. Lander smiled as he rotated 360 degrees trying to kick him again but the old man moved away freeing Lander's hand and foot.

"Hmmmm, so you are a martial artist? Not bad!" The old man said as he released a terrifying aura that was only directed towards Lander. Still, although the people can't be affected by the aura, they can still feel it and some people with weak soul affiliation was even trembling but Yan Yan who was an outcast was actually standing and she could somehow feel a surging energy from her body. It was quite itchy but she didn't scratched it as she focused on the surging energy.

Lander, who was being affected by the aura gritted his teeth and endured for two seconds before passing out, "Hmmm, he was able to last for two seconds, not bad at all!"

Then he also noticed Yan Yan, "Hmmm, Interesting!"

The old man then woke up Lander using some kind of magic, "Hmmm, so did I pass your test young man?"

"That aura was the strongest aura I have ever encountered so of course you pass elder," Lander replied remembering that terrifying feeling.

The old man nodded and went towards where Yan Yan was standing, "Young girl, you better find a room and unleash that surging power from your body, I will create a barrier inside that room so you wouldn't be disturbed."

Yan Yan nodded as he went to the room where she slept last night, the old man followed her, made a barrier and returned.

Lander noticed something but he didn't know what it was, he wanted to ask but a lot of customers were waiting. He has no other choice but to serve the customers.

When the Poton was finally done with their meal, they paid and went away. They had their greatest meal ever and they would surely comeback again.

Another batch of people entered and when they saw the prices, a lot of them cried and many people has no other choice but to leave. Soon, the restaurant was filled again so Lander and Adriel made again dishes after dishes.

Every people of Amphiptere Capital now learned about the Heaven's Diner, the delicious dishes.

"Let's go to the Heaven's Diner, I heard their steak was very delicious!"

"Yes, even the rice with egg was outstanding according to the Poton Family."

In the afternoon of the first day of opening, the restaurant blossomed instantly. The line was getting longer and longer.

Lander saw this and was dumbfounded, he knew that they can't satisfy all those people with only Lute as the server and dishwasher at the same time. He then told Lute to hire people who could be a dishwasher and to be waiters.

With Lute's ability, he instantly hired five people, two dishwashers, two waiters and a waitress. He also instructed them on how they do things. Once that was done, everything went smoothly.
