Unbeatable Chef Xenon
Chapter 32
The laughter continued and Xenon twitched his lips and tried to use his hands to cover the vapour of the hot coffee as the main ingredient was evaporating away.
"Can you see how this boy is trying to mock your son?" They referred the words to the mother who was a crying mess. Her hands were now fisted in fury as she stared at Xenon with hatred.
"Don't listen to them Ma'am, I'm only trying to help." He told the woman genuinely but that only seemed to fuel her rage.
"Get out of here with that thing before I curse you!" She yelled in pain and Xenon sighed, he was tired of these people being quick to judge him, his appearance, and his status rather than knowing his main motives and it was beginning to piss him off.
"I can't believe people of today, how can you shame the dead? Where do you see or hear a situation where the dead drink a black coffee? Please get out of here before I call the Cops on you."
Another harassed him and Xenon knew he had to do something to let this person let him do his thing or he was going to get humiliated for a long time and he was still going to Royal Volt as an Apprentice.
"Please just let me do what I intend doing and if nothing comes out of it, you can punish me as you like. And these boy is not totally dead as you all claim him to be."
He pleaded with them frustratingly, the crowd that was watching him was way too much for him to use his powers or he could have hypnotised all of them with one glare.
"Let us see what he wants to do, I think he wants to perform magic with the boy's body." One of them suggested happily and the others agreed, they couldn't wait to knock him off with more mockery and send him to the cops for wasting their time and interfering with their duty.
Xenon uses that opportunity to rush to the young boy to pour the hot coffee into his mouth by forcing his lips apart.
They all watched in awe, wondering why he was giving the boy a black substance that might even hurt him but they still waited in anticipation.
Xenon dropped the cup and prayed in his heart that his body should accept the coffee and circulate it through his system or he would be doomed. This person would make sure that they see to the fact he was punished and he does have time for that at all.
The next three minutes were like three hours for Xenon and the Medical officer snapped immediately without waiting.
"What sort of rubbish is this? You think you can just make all of us look like fools and delay our work huh? I can't believe we all listen to one useless man! Take him away!" The man who seemed to be the leader of the team yelled at Xenon and the crowd charged at him in anger, laying all sorts of Insults and curses on him for mocking the dead, he was pushed to the ground with force and a heavy wave of slap was sent across his face, another was ready to throw a punch while another was calling the cops number vigorously in anger when a scream startled them and they tore their attention away from Xenon and looked at the mother of the boy.
"His fingers moved!" She screamed again and they all tried to confirm what she was saying.
"Oh my goodness! It's true. Look at the legs." Another exclaimed excitedly as the young boy's feet clicked, what followed next was a stretch of his hands and neck then his eyes flew open.
"Oh my god! This young man helped." A lady cried in the middle of the crowd and they all fell quiet. They watched how the woman now held her son dearly and she cried.
"I need more." The boy's voice came out raspy and dry and the woman frowned in confusion.
"More what? Tell me, my dear?"
"Coffee, please give me more." He pleaded and the mother shamelessly collected the cup from Xenon and gave it to her son.
She knelt to say a word but Xenon raised his hands to stop her.
"I don't want to hear anything, I hope your son gets stronger than this." He told her and a hot pang of guilt washed through her entire skin.
"I'm so s–"
"I said, I don't want to hear it. No one should tell me shit but send me to the police for trying to help. What happened? Why is everyone suddenly quiet and not beating me up to death?" Xenon asked the crowd mockingly and they all became stiff.
"You all are hypocrites! I hope you don't find yourself in a similar situation cause the pain of judging someone instead of knowing their worth is real."
He told them and walked away from their sights that some had to pave the way for him, Xenon hissed irritatingly and boarded a taxi to Royal Volt Restaurant.
The moment he showed his presence and entered the kitchen, Madam Rosetti growled in disapproval and Lucas chose to ignore him.
He suddenly had this sudden aura and authority which was surreal and annoying.
"Good morning," Xenon murmured to them but none of them would answer his greetings.
He stood up lazily to keep himself busy when he finally heard her shrill Voice.
"Don't touch anything!" Rossetti shouted at him and Xenon frowned.
"And why shouldn't I do that?"
"You're not welcome anymore here Xenon and to be truthful about how we feel, you're strange. We've got a new apprentice."
She fired at him and he shrugged.
"Okay, suit yourself. The boss doesn't seem so, he wants me to complete my tenure here.
I'll teach myspelf things Rosetti, you don't have to act so paranoid because I know some of your secrets. It's safe with me." He grinned at her and her blood boiled at that statement he made.
"But I tend to spill secrets if anyone messes with me."
He said and someone barged into the kitchen and everyone bowed, except Xenon whose jaw twitched angrily in irritation.
