The girl looked up at Alex in alarm and he threw away her sun shades, pulling her close to his chest.“Little birds like you are better kept in cages. The only reason you're still alive now is because I didn't feel any killing intent from you. Leave now, before I decide to do it anyway.”“If it was not important to me, I wouldn't be here. Do you think I have all the time in the world to waste it here on the road arguing with someone that can't be reasoned with? Come with me, my grandfather really needs your help, we have tried other methods to no avail. You're the only one that has the ability to help him now. I promise to compensate you abundantly for your time.”“The Vanderbilts family is a powerful family guarding the northern continents. You come from an ancient aristocratic family that has an even richer heritage than the Winthrops. And unlike the other ancient families, the Vanderbilts have never experienced a decline, rather you all keep moving higher and getting more powerful

Alex's eyes that were like two chips of ice turned even colder. He pointed a clip to the wall and videos began to play on the wall before the audience. It showed them receiving money from Kendra Campbell to sabotage the restaurant and assuring her that Food Haven would definitely be closed down with immediate effect. It also showed them gather some hooligans making the most noise in the crowd and offer them good clothes to change into so that they can be allowed into the restaurant to make trouble, and him sneaking away while the crowd attacked Eleanor to tell kendra that he had successfully accomplished the mission, and Kendra laughing boisterously as she walked over to Food Haven to usher the guests to their restaurant.Alex made sure the scene was covered by newscasters on live broadcast, and videos of Kendra paying people to sabotage the restaurant were scattered to the internet and massively promoted. “You dared to walk in here to create mayhem after receiving a little token, do

“What's wrong?” Alex asked, looking up from the pot while his assistant dabbed off the sweat forming on his forehead. “The guests are more than expected. Every room is occupied.”“Okay, you can seat them in the VVIP halls, and Ethereal quarters for today.”“People are already seated in the VVIP section. A group of politicians came in for lunch and occupied it. And the ethereal section is out of bounds as per your order. But someone powerful came in and was willing to pay the price to open the ethereal hall to find a seat for his group. There's literally no space. And a hundred people are still standing outside in queues by the window, complaining there's no seat, and that the food is taking too long to get to them.”“Send a message to the temporal base. The young men in training should come over here for their public service activities and join in serving the guests. Also, get seats from hirers and buy umbrellas and tents to provide temporary shade for today, while we think of how to

The problem can wait. You have left the pots unattended for so long. I fear that something might go wrong and ruin these expensive dishes.” Mac said, looking up from the pots he was using intenal energy to stir.“That's right , I need to finish the preparations and let the servers carry them away, before I leave the kitchen.” Alex quickly agreed, walking back to his workstation.He opened all the pots and specialized jugs, causing sweet aromas to Immediately fill up the kitchen. “Wow, just the scent of the dishes alone are rejuvenating my pores. I wonder how potent eating it will be.”“Of course, boss is the best in everything he does.” One of Mac's assistants said, looking up from the steak he was preparing.“Did you remember to marinated the meat in the herbal solution I prepared?” Alex asked, looking at him.“Of course.”“It seems that cooking the mix longer than normal on very low heat brought out the essence of the herbs. But it overshadowed some of the other ingredients.” Alex

Aridan looked at the floor, not wanting to meet Alex's furious glare.“I suddenly noticed that I have not seen her around for nearly an hour. So, I began to look for her. But, after nearly twenty minutes of searching the restaurant with some others, I still didn't find her.” He muttered, making Alex clench and unclench his fists as all manner of thoughts went through his mind. His numerous enemies wouldn't take long to realize that he was the man behind food haven, and one of them probably sneaked in, taking advantage of the huge crowd and the extremely busy staff to take her away. Even worse was the fact that his identity was not as protected as he thought, if the Vanderbilt girl knows who he was, there's no guarantee that other people out there don't know him too. Ariella could have also wandered out of the restaurant and met a mishap because there was no one watching her. She could have also seen a familiar kid among the guests and run off with him or her. The possibilities were nu
