Chapter 486 Are You All Setting a Trap for Me?
A strange expression appeared on Hakuto's face. Pesky had been played to death, literally played to death by those so-called politically correct gangsters!
Kingpin had fed the gangsters a bellyful of aphrodisiacs, then locked Pesky and the gangsters together in a cage.
And then, Pesky was literally played to death by those gangsters. That old hag was already advanced in age; it would be strange if she didn't die after being toyed with by so many aphrodisiac-filled gangsters.
Hakuto saw no problem with this whatsoever. He highly praised Kingpin for being so creative. After all, Hakuto had no good feelings toward Pesky.
This matter was considered concluded. After obtaining the Legendary Cooking Utensil, Hakuto left America.
Tifa and the others didn't need his company. Or rather, they had their own things to do. As for Wanda, her brother had already woken up, and she needed to accompany him for rehabilitation, so she didn't need Hakuto either.
Arriving at the shrine, Hakuto heard about Kushida and Suzune. After learning about this, Hakuto had only one thought regarding them.
Truly remarkable!
Suzune and Kushida were incredibly stubborn, absolutely world-class in their obstinacy!
But when he learned that the two girls had now reached the Wolf level, Hakuto couldn't help but stare in stunned disbelief, feeling their growth was a bit too fast.
This development had completely exceeded Hakuto's expectations.
However, after learning about this, Hakuto instructed Kikyo, "Give them even stricter training. Don't let them pass until they reach Dragon level."
After hearing this, the corner of Kikyo's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She looked at Hakuto and said, "I haven't even reached Dragon level myself!"
"Then so be it. No matter what, don't let them pass until their strength reaches that level. And also, vigorously crush their confidence so they don't get too cocky."
"Alright, I understand. This shouldn't be a problem."
After listening to Hakuto's requirements, Kikyo nodded to indicate it was fine. Both Suzune and Kushida had talents that surprised Kikyo quite a bit.
Although they couldn't match Kikyo herself, compared to ordinary people, they were already at the genius level.
"I'll leave things here to you, then. I won't interfere. Contact me if anything comes up."
Kikyo nodded slightly, and Hakuto turned to leave.
After Hakuto left, Yae Miko's voice came faintly. "Hakuto, you heartless man. You don't even come by to see us."
Hearing Yae Miko's words, Kikyo smiled. Yae Miko, that contemptible fox—did she really think Hakuto hadn't noticed she was here all along?
He had probably noticed her long ago but simply ignored her. That pink-haired fox's personality...
Seeing Kikyo's expression, Yae Miko was somewhat displeased. "Now you're joining Hakuto in mocking me, aren't you? Now you don't take me seriously anymore, do you?"
Kikyo looked at Yae Miko before her, the corner of her mouth lifting into a curve. "You guess!"
"Guess your sister!"
Yae Miko jumped up in frustration. Now these young girls were all climbing over her head. Yae Miko declared she couldn't tolerate this. She must reassert the authority of the big sister.
"Can you tell me what's going on with you two? Why are you suddenly arguing for no reason?"
Hakuto looked at Erina and Alice. These two sisters had started arguing out of nowhere, and he had no idea what they were fighting about.
"It's all because Alice is wasting ingredients. Giving the Jewel Meat to Alice is simply a waste!"
Erina preemptively accused. After hearing this, Alice puffed up her cheeks angrily and retorted, "Erina, you're talking nonsense. Only in my hands can these ingredients achieve the best effect. The way you use them is the real waste!"
Erina and Alice started arguing. Hakuto helplessly covered his face.
"You're arguing over such a trivial matter?"
Hakuto hadn't expected these two sisters to fight over something so silly. How could such a boring thing matter either way?
Hakuto didn't lack these things that were produced every day. He couldn't use them himself anyway, so he basically gave away everything produced daily.
"It's not a trivial matter at all!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Alice and Erina instantly turned their spear tips toward Hakuto. Hakuto looked at the two helplessly. "Fine, fine. So, according to you, what do you want?"
"We just want more ingredients. I want to prove that Erina (Alice) is wrong!"
"You two, one a traditional chef and one a new molecular cuisine chef, can't really be compared, alright?"
"No, we absolutely must determine who is better. Help us find an ingredient, and we'll use it to settle this once and for all."
Hakuto: ...
"Alright."
Anyway, he had obtained the whereabouts of the Puffer Whale before. Since Alice and Erina wanted it, he would give it to them.
"Wait for now."
Hakuto quickly made his escape. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid these two might give him a cerebral thrombosis from anger.
But no sooner had Hakuto left than someone else found him.
"You're going to look for new ingredients, right? Take me, take me."
Rindo looked excited.
Hakuto said, "Wait a minute. I feel like you're all setting a trap for me. Two of you invite me to look for new ingredients, and now another wants to come along. Doesn't something seem a bit off?"
"As a gourmet hunter, what's wrong with me wanting to capture ingredients?"
"Fine, fine, I can't be bothered to argue. If you want to come, then let's go."
Hakuto took Rindo and directly set off.
The Puffer Whale was located in a mysterious sea area called the Caribbean!
It was said that this place had once been infested with pirates. Not much had changed, really. It was still crawling with pirates.
"Are you sure the Puffer Whale is really here?"
Rindo asked curiously.
"If you don't believe me, you can go back."
