Chapter 263 The Dark Chefs Wiped Out in One Fell Swoop
Hakuto, relying on mere clues to deduce so much information, everyone found it hard to imagine what kind of ability this was. In their place, even if the evidence were placed right in front of them, they probably couldn't truly figure out what was going on.
Hakuto looked at Sonoka. "I'll handle those people. You just run your restaurant quietly. If anyone comes to bother you, I'll take care of it for you."
If Sonoka liked running her restaurant, that was fine. Otherwise, even if Sonoka did nothing at all, Hakuto could still support her.
"Okay, I won't worry about it then."
Since Hakuto wanted to handle it, Sonoka wouldn't go against his wishes. For Sonoka, wasn't Hakuto doing this also a sign of how much he cared about her?
Hakuto didn't say anything more and instead enjoyed Sonoka's cooking with Tifa. Hakuto could clearly tell that Sonoka had put her heart into the food.
After eating at Sonoka's place with Tifa, Hakuto said goodbye to Sonoka and left, taking Tifa to tour around Tokyo.
When it got dark, Hakuto and Tifa returned home. After eating, Hakuto was about to rest when he saw Tifa slip into his room. He was a bit dazed but quickly understood.
Getting up the next morning, Rem and Ram showed no reaction whatsoever to Tifa coming out of Hakuto's room. Hakuto breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, looking at Umaru, he noticed that she wasn't continuing to undergo Cthulhification over time.
It seemed Umaru wouldn't spontaneously transform into a Cthulhu. Then Hakuto didn't have to worry about her fully becoming Cthulhified.
This was good news. Actually, Hakuto had been quite worried. What if Umaru continued to undergo Cthulhification even without the game monster's enhancement? That would be terrible.
Now that Umaru wasn't continuing to Cthulhify, it meant there was more time for Hakuto to find possibilities and opportunities to save her.
Since Umaru was fine for now, Hakuto temporarily set her aside and turned his attention to the group of Dark Chefs who had set their sights on Sonoka.
Then Hakuto claimed yesterday's reward. He hadn't gotten anything good for several days in a row. Would he get something good this time?
[Yesterday's diary entry completed. Now distributing rewards. You have obtained Seven-Star Knife Technique.]
[Yesterday's diary keeper received a reward. Now drawing one diary copy holder to receive the same reward.]
[Drawing complete. Congratulations to XXXXX (Kobayashi Rindo) for obtaining the incomplete Seven-Star Knife Technique.]
[Now distributing rewards for diary copy holders. The person mentioned most frequently by the diary keeper yesterday was Tifa Lockhart. Now distributing reward.]
[Congratulations to Tifa Lockhart for obtaining the Genuine Bajiquan.]
Hakuto was stunned for a moment, then smiled. The Seven-Star Knife Technique wasn't just one type of technique; it was the complete set of Seven-Star Knife techniques. A huge gain!
[Wow, after several days of lame rewards, today's really delivered. A full Seven-Star Knife Technique reward. Perfect timing. I can use the Seven-Star Knives obtained from the Suzuki Family. For this Chef God Candidate Examination, I'll bring the Seven-Star Knives. I'll definitely be the coolest guy there.]
[Wow, now I feel like a combination of Liu Mao Xing and Leon. What they can both do, I can do. What they can't do, I can also do. But I can't get complacent. After all, just one fragment directly upgraded Liu Mao Xing's character card to Super Chef. If it were a full character card, how strong would Liu Mao Xing's full strength be?]
[Ah, I suddenly remembered. The Liu Mao Xing in this world is different from the Liu Mao Xing in the original "Cooking Master Boy" plot. In the original "Cooking Master Boy", Liu Mao Xing's dishes at most glowed. To be more exaggerated, he set the entire Yangtze River on fire just to grill a fish. But in this world, you might actually get completely screwed if you're not careful.]
[Good thing I woke up in time. It seems this Liu Mao Xing has been enhanced. But I can understand. After all, he's the Chef God who summoned a divine dragon to set up the Nine Provinces Barrier. It seems normal for him to be this strong.]
Tifa was also receiving the experience of Bajiquan. Then, as if she had practiced Bajiquan her whole life, Tifa had a premonition. If her current self fought her old self, she could take on hundreds without a problem.
"This Bajiquan is so strong!"
After receiving the Bajiquan experience, Tifa gasped. This Bajiquan was beyond her imagination.
Hakuto's phone suddenly rang with a notification. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. Then Hakuto said to Tifa, Rem, and Ram, "I'm going out."
Looking at the message on his phone, Hakuto stood up and walked out.
Seeing that Hakuto was going out, Tifa said to him, "I'll come with you."
"No need. You stay at home, Tifa. I can go alone."
Hakuto walked out the door, got into the Yamaguchi-gumi's car, and headed straight for their destination. Soon, Hakuto arrived at a residential area. The area had already been surrounded by the Yamaguchi-gumi's Deep Ones.
"Sir, we've investigated thoroughly. These people are all inside."
Teiji said to Hakuto.
"Are you sure there's no one missed?"
"Please rest assured. We've observed them for an entire day. We confirm no one has come in or out."
Hakuto looked at Teiji and said, "In that case, take your people and invite everyone out. Remember, invite them."
"Yes, sir!"
Teiji quickly led his men to invite the Dark Chefs out. At the same time, that arrogant middle-aged man who had walked out of Sonoka's restaurant was also brought out.
"Long time no see, Matsushita Kazuo."
Looking at the man in front of him, Hakuto said indifferently. Then his gaze turned to the Dark Chefs. But soon, Hakuto frowned.
"It seems some people are missing."
Hakuto's gaze turned to Teiji, whose expression changed.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
