Wolf Guy and I had our lunch at Carter's hideout
Black Hawk and Emma Eddie who went to gather information are also back with too many results.
Emma Eddie had the same old look, a leather jacket, a T-shirt and Jean with a military haircut. Her nose stug though was changed from a good one to a platinum one.
It was the only item that had value to me out of all I gold I took from The Vanisher's liar, I lent it out to Emma Eddie.
Black Hawk, real nname Leo. A street level thug that run a cult group rely on his cult members earnings which they got from stealing, robbing and pickpocketing. He was originally a pickpocket himself befire his powers were awoken. He was originally the weakest of the thugs, nit only bulling the weak and fearing the strong but his second nature was bluffing and boasting as well.
However, all that was in the past. After being under my control, Leo the Black Hawk worked perfectly with Carter the Deathface, serving plate after plate neatly and respectfully on the table.
"For the appetizer, we have sardines and egg salad, I've added some lemin to rove the fishy stench. For the main course, we have tomahawk pork legs with pickles cucumbers and sweet carrots. The side of the combread and the soup is vegetable tofu soup as you ordered. The vegetables are also the spinach bok choy like you requested"
Carter was opening the lids and introducong the dishes like a real cook.
Of course one should not expect Carter's cooking to he on oar with a real chef but his is not bad
Look at how fast and messy Wolf Guy and Emma Eddie gobbled down their meals.
Similar to how one wouldn't expect Carter to have the cooking levels of a real chef, one should not expect a wolf and goon to have table manners.
Lunch started and ended with flying forks and spoons as well as plates jumping around the table.
I didn't have anything to rant about though, I didn't mind whether one have tabke nanners or not, what mattered is food should not be wasted.
After all, no matter how great one's table manners were, when one person consumed the servings of 3, 5, or 10 people, tabke manners will be long gone, might as well maintain one's true nature from the start.
Wolf Guy and Emma Eddie maintained the said character.
Perhaps, out if habit of a wolf, Wolf Guy's plate was licked clean and almost broke whike Emma Eddie understood hiw prescious the food was.
In the environment she grew up, everyone will deceive and scheme against each other just fue a peice of bread, a peice of meat will cause a street fight. Emma Eddie showed exceptional gratitude to me for her meals and environment but it did mean she will thank me for it.
I once again used her as bait.
Even if I gave her a set of protection, it didn't mean she will be worry free.
On the ge contrary, because of her new protective item, Emma Eddie felt even more danger judging from her experience and exceptional accurate instincts; she couldn't resist though
Emma Eddie knew she was aboard the pirate ship by now, even if she was to run away from me now, no one would believe she had nothing to do with me, the Infinite Barrel
"Infinite Barrel…"
Emma Eddie muttered the title to herself as she touched the platinum nose stud if hers.
A few days ago, she would never believed The Vanisher was killed that easily even until now, she wondered how much string can I be, she felt extremely unreal whenever she looked at the guy who was responsible for the super villian's death.
Emma Eddie knew I was absurdly strong, she even speculated I was one on the three; The Vanisher, Deathshot, and Fire Mage in disguise yet she never thought I would kill one of them
No one understood what The Vanisher represented than Emma Eddie who grew up in the streets.
The super villian was like an underground king of sort but now, the old king was dead.
The city was in a seemingly peaceful period now, but it was just the calm before the he storm, a new underground king will surely energe among the bunch.
Despite cheif officer payk running around the streets, arresting the remaining lingering factions one after another, it wouldn't make any difference.
Money!
Authority!
Those twu things were enough for people to swarm to like a flock of duck.
Huu!
Emma Eddie couldn't help but take a eeeo breath when sgr thought about the potential happening. Then she looked at me while I was peacefully drinking my soup right on front of her. She couldn't hold back her urge and asked "Do you know the situation out there? This is the best time fur yiy to give up"
"The vegetable soup is quite plain, mis people don't like it, people would add egg or near or shrimp inside the soup if they were to drink it, it will definitely make the soup taste better but it would not be vegetable soup anymore" I answered slowly
"I'm asking about the street, the underground world that us related to the entire city, nit your soup" Emma Eddie emphasized
"I'm referring to my vegetable soup indeed. From how I see it, the city's underground world is not as important as my vegetable soup. Or should I say how can the city's underground world be compared to my soup? On what basis?" I replied plainly
There was no room fir doubt in my words and it made Emma Eddie choke, causing her jaws to drop. In the end, sge swallowed back her words, age now somehow understood why super humans preferred ti call me Infinite Barrel.
Whioe Carter who made the vegetable soup somehow fekt proud of his acheivement, he straightened hus back uncontrollably, Black Hawk Leo didn't think much though, from his point of view, whatever I said was righteous, regardless of hie outrageous and ridiculous it sounded, it would undoubtedly be correct.
