Unbeatable Chef Xenon
Chapter 51
One hour earlier….
"I think–I think we should stop giving them food. They keep multiplying. I–can't continue anymore." The waitress pants heavily with her hands on her chest to calm her breaths but Xenon wore a worried look. The reason why he had not stopped cooking or tasting his meal yet to stop the thirst and hunger was because of Alec and Andrea. He hadn't seen them yet when he went out to check and Valentino said he hadn't felt their presence yet.
"Just a little more." He told the lady who stared at him bewildered.
"A little more!! More than hundreds are in line, wait! What the heck are you even cooking to bring such traffic?" She couldn't help but ask and Aliya went to meet her and collect the tray.
"Since you're tired, take a break. I'll give this to your other colleague to take over and stop asking questions! Your greed has refused to let you share your work so why are you complaining?" Aliya fired and she gulped.
"I'll continue working and–"
"No, you're exhausted as it is. The others will serve them so you better get ready to split the share of the money you have collected from the customers to avoid any issues that might affect everyone." Aliya said and moved swiftly to get another waitress when a loud angry bang made her shake and halt at the spot, even Xenon who was busy cooking looked in the direction of the door, took some hasteful steps to the entrance, and walked out.
He went to the main center of the restaurant and a very beautiful smirk curved in his face. The fool he was looking for was here, he leaned his frame by the pillar of the building where the counter was set and watched him. Panic flooded through Xenon when he saw the black smoke emerging from his lips and his eyes were so black and scary but Aldero had told him that nothing would happen to the people as long as the aroma of the food was stuck in the people's nostrils.
He had to watch quietly, he had to listen to his Incantations as even though he had these powers in him, he couldn't fully make use of them effectively and knowingly.
He almost burst out laughing at the faces of the people who seemed scary but were busy eating their meal, but the next act by Andrea had him boiling in rage.
A customer was flung like a rag doll outside in anger and when he thought he should move forward to teach him his share of a lesson, the people surged forward instead and he laughed.
The second guy tried to run when Xenon shut his eyes and clasped his hands together.
"Cariavaàs Vaspandre Viscario mondré smakiné…" He chanted repeatedly and slowly but his eyes were open and there was no black smoke coming out from his nose and mouth aside from the smoke that hung in the air. It went rapidly like a flash and twirled around Alex that he dropped and held his neck in pain and at the same went to Andrea who was still manhandled by the people.
Xenon moved to one of the tables and ate the food the customers had left and the hunger and scorching thirst reduced among themselves immediately.
"Thank you all for coming, please kindly leave!" He commanded with his hypnotising and they all left immediately, one by one till there was no one in the restaurant.
It was getting dark and Xenon knew that Natalia or anyone might want to interrupt him but he didn't want these people to leave here without inhaling a large portion of their smoke.
"We finally met Andrea." He turned to the other who was scratching the floor in dread and coughing out blood. "And Alec right? Don't worry, you won't die. It would only make you weak enough for me to kill you "
Xenon said and his anger began boiling, he watched the dark smoke slowly disappear all going in the duo's direction and Alec couldn't take it.
"Pl–please!! (coughs) we might d–die!" He groaned and hit his chest hard.
"Really, but he was about to kill this innocent person here without caring, why the fuck will I care about you?"
"You–are the– grandson of –Glacier and he d–did–doesn't kill! Argh!!" Alec said and a powerful punch that cut the inner chin made him yell.
"You stupid soul! Do I look like Glacier to you both? I'm Xenon and you messed with the wrong person!"
"Pl–please!! We might die!"
"Exactly! Die. You almost made Aldero die and made everyone I know deceive me. Tsk! No, I won't make you die easily, I will make you wish for death but you won't see it, and not even your powers will rescue you both!" Xenon spat out and reached for his phone to dial Valentino's number.
"Come come here quickly and take the bastards to the basement. I don't want anyone to come and see them with the mess they've created."
"Alright Boss, I'm a stone's throw from the restaurant. " Valentino replied and Xenon nodded.
He looked at the floor, blood was splattered on the floor, the chairs were broken and part of the table was destroyed, even the transparent glass wasn't left out and Xenon knew he was going to get reprimanded. What made him relieved was the fact that no one was distracting him.
"You…you're not ordinary, are you?" He jumped at her voice and turned sharply. Aliya was glaring at him and he swallowed, he didn't know what to say to her, his heart hammered heavily and he swallowed.
"Don't lie to me. I saw what you did to them." She insisted and stared at the two men who looked like they might die any second.
"The food, the fact that you insisted on cooking this long, was it because of them?" She asked him and he sighed, blowing some breath to move his hair, and nodded.
"Yeah"
"Who the fuck are you Xenon?" Alicia asked him with a mortified face.
