Crassus and Yulian turned their heads almost simultaneously, looking at Goodinia, their eyes narrowing slightly, a dangerous glint seemingly flashing within them.
"Amy, make sure that fireball doesn't kill anyone." Mai Ge turned to look at Amy and earnestly instructed her. In a world like this, appropriately displaying muscle and determination is more conducive to establishing restaurant rules, even if that muscle belongs to Amy.
"Okay." Amy nodded obediently.
"Heh, little brat, get lost!" Goodinia scoffed, completely ignoring Amy, and turned to leave. Wasting time arguing with a three or four years old girl would make him look less respectable.
"Phew!"
Just as Goodinia walked up to Amy, a ball of blue purple flame suddenly shot up from Amy's hand, like a fireball suddenly exploding. It rose more than half a meter high, and the scorching flame made the air dry and hot. Goodinia seemed to have run into it. His eyelashes, eyebrows, and front hair were instantly charred and slowly fell off. The clothes that were protruding from his big belly were also instantly burned. Flames sprang up from the corners of his clothes and quickly spread upwards along the silk fabric.
"Ah! A mage!" Goodinia exclaimed, frantically patting himself down as he ran towards the door. He didn't even bother to pick up the money pouch that had fallen to the ground. As soon as the door opened, he ran straight out.
Amy's flame had shrunk into a small fireball, which she raised to throw.
"Alright, that's enough. One fireball from you and he'll be completely cooked." Mai Ge said with a smile, patting Amy's head. A little punishment was enough, causing a death was no small matter in Chaos City.
"Okay." Amy glanced at Goodinia's retreating figure with a hint of regret, then put her hand away and squatted down to pick up the money pouch from the ground.
Goodinia rushed out the door, just as three people were walking towards him. He bumped into a burly, bald man with a thud. The man didn't move an inch, but Goodinia was sent flying.
After rolling twice on the ground and falling around in a daze, Goodinia finally breathed a sigh of relief after putting out the fire on his body. Looking down, he saw that the front of his clothes was almost burned off, his eyebrows and hair were mostly singed, and his face was covered in soot and flames. He looked extremely disheveled. He was at a loss for words, wondering what expression to wear after being made to look like this by a four years old child.
He looked up, about to curse the person who had knocked him away, but upon seeing that they were three bald demons with ferocious appearances and tall statures, he immediately cowered and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"Boss, what's wrong with this guy?" Mond stroked his bald head, looking at Goodinia, whose body was still slightly steaming, with some confusion.
"Based on my analysis, he's most likely on fire." Kiel said earnestly, stroking his chin.
"Kiel, your mind is sharp indeed. This analysis is very close to the truth." Mond nodded thoughtfully, looking at Kiel with admiration.
"Nonsense, it's burned to a crisp. If you ask me, this guy probably ate something and didn't pay, so the Little Boss burned him. What an idiot." Sargeras gave Goodinia a disdainful look.
"I've already taken the eighteen gold coins. Here's the rest back. Next time you go out to eat, you'd better pay up, or I'll burn you." The door jingled open, and Amy stepped out, tossing the money pouch in her hand in front of Goodinia, saying seriously.
Goodinia put away his money pouch with a sense of humiliation, looking at Amy as if he wanted to say something harsh, but then he remembered the flames that had just terrified him, and swallowed his words. A four years old little mage was too scary. A true man can bend and stretch, and there was no need to be quick to speak.
"Hello, Little Boss." Sargeras said earnestly.
"Hello, Little Boss!" Kiel and Mond immediately stood at attention, their expressions full of respect. In their eyes, Mai Ge, who could make such a magical Rou Jia Mo, deserved respect. The fate of their Lava race depended on this Rou Jia Mo, so they also showed considerable respect to Amy.
"Big Bald Head, Second Bald Head, Third Bald Head, hello." Amy greeted the three of them, then turned and went into the restaurant.
"How...how is this possible!" Goodinia stared wide-eyed at the scene, seeing three seemingly tall demons actually afraid of that tiny half-elf.
"Trying to dine and dash?" Sargeras walked up to Goodinia, looking down at him with interest, then curled his lip: "Even I wouldn't dare. You're a true warrior." He turned and pushed open the door to the restaurant.
"Warrior." Kiel and Mond simultaneously gave him a thumbs up and followed Sargeras into the restaurant.
"What kind of mess is this?" Goodinia struggled to his feet, looking at his tattered clothes and then at the luxurious restaurant, feeling like crying.
What kind of background does this restaurant have? Goodinia took a deep look at the restaurant, feeling a sense of fear for the first time. He raised his hand to cover his face and limped towards the less crowded outer edge of the square. Most of the merchants in the square knew him, and he still had some sense of shame.
"I'm sorry, a small accident has affected everyone's meal. Please continue. I hope you all enjoy your meal." Mai Ge said apologetically to everyone, then raised his hand to stop Yabemia from bowing in apology, turned back to her and smiled, "You did nothing wrong."
"Thank you, Boss." Yabemia said softly.
"It's okay, Boss Mai, we all support you today. It's just that the Rou Jia Mo I ordered... I'm a little hungry." Harrison smiled and rubbed his stomach.
"Yes, and my tofu pudding too."
"My Yang Zhou Fried Rice."
The others chimed in, smiles on their faces, and the restaurant atmosphere returned to harmony. They all agreed that Mai Ge had done the right thing.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Mai Ge smiled and nodded, gently patting Yabemia on the shoulder before turning and walking towards the kitchen.
"Welcome." Hearing the bell at the door ring, Yabemia's face lit up with a bright smile again as she turned to greet them.
"I've decided, starting today I'm going to memorize all the rules of Restaurant Mai Mi."
"Hmm?"
"When Boss Mai says he'll blacklist someone, he really means it, when Little Boss says she'll set someone on fire, she really means it. We can't afford to mess with either of them."
"Untouchable, untouchable, take me with you."
Harrison and the others huddled together, silently reciting the restaurant rules with serious expressions they had never shown back when they were studying at Chaos Academy.
"By the way, I think I just saw Boss Mai take out a black notebook and write something down?"
"Really?"
"Could it be... the legendary blacklist?!"
