Unbeatable Chef Xenon

Chapter 5

*****

Royal Volt Kitchen was as large as an estate, ranging from different sections and equipment used for cooking.

Different stands of gas cooker lined up by the sides of the wall and a large smooth glass storage in the form of a cupboard was neatly constructed upwards.

Xenon knew he wasn't in control of himself, he was an apprentice whose favourite meal was Instant noodles and the mouthwatering chicken Madam Rossetti prepared which he had no slightest Idea.

He wished to learn but she would never show him, but yell out her frustrations at him.

But right now everything seemed magical to him, using the pot, adding the Ingredients to the pot and seeing everything move at his speed.

He was busy adding every paste that contained basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil and some hard cheese to give the most incredible aroma anyone had ever had.

The amusing part was that he felt like a brand new person. His eyes glowed but he couldn't see it.

Lucas was dumb struck and was extremely eager to find out whatever In the world's name that he's doing to bring out such flavour. He knew it was good but what Xenon was doing was nothing compared to their boss.

Madame Rossetti gulped and gritted her teeth.

'This good for nothing fellow had snuck on Enzo while he was cooking!'

She had made sure she avoided him and prevented him from knowing anything but how is it that he's able to to give such a great mixture, even the headache she was feeling was gone and her throat didn't itch for a little taste of what he's doing then he's lying!

Xenon was on another planet, he boiled the Gynocchi one side and focused his attention on frying the sauce.

Whilst doing his magic in the kitchen, he was totally unaware of the chaos that was happening outside.

Both the Poor, old, Rich, young, and top prominent people in the city of Venice were filled up in the restaurant waiting to have a fill of whatever aroma it is that caused a tumble in their stomach and throats.

The workers served them with the usual but they rejected it, requesting for the particular food that has the particular aroma that dragged them from their houses.

Xenon on the other hand focused on frying his sauce and added 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the pot, a small onions, finely chopped, 3 cloves garlic, minced ¼ cup dry white wine to brighten the Gynocchi , 1 whole plum tomatoes with juice, crushed by hand, 2 sprigs basil all mixed together in the hot oil to bring out a sweet aroma.

Amidst doing all of this, he was so fast that no one could see his next move or whatever it was that was included in the pot.

In no time, he was done. Turning everything in a flask without breaking a sweat. He turned to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?" Rosetti asked him, blocking his path and Lucas nodded in affirmation.

Just a little argument or push, those useless food he prepared would he crashing down to the ground.

"To the hospital, please I need to go before something bad happens to any of them." Xenon told them, aware of himself and the situation at hand.

"You're very stupid to think that you can come here and cook after stealing the Boss' recipe! You didn't only take me for a fool but slapped us to our faces by imposing an authority on your own to enter here to touch the utensils" She yelled, her plump face contorting into a scary frown but Xenon was clearly not going to have their time.

Just when he was about to say something, Rican rushed in, almost knocking himself over. His jet black hair , looking tussled as if he just escaped a fight or marathon and a sweat broke through his forehead as he winced trying to catch his breath.

"What's wrong Rican?" Lucas asked his apprentice who was acting rather strange.

"It's scary boss! It's so unreal." He pants heavily and the two people on the room frowned aside from Xenon who was so eager to leave.

"What do you mean?"

"You need to see it yourself!!" Rican yelled angrily, startling all of them.

"I have never seen such an hungry crowd in my entire life, please give them what they need or you send them away!" Rican cried as goose bumps filled his skin.

They kept coming in, as if they were craving to seek refuge in their home which was scary and diabolical.

The securities had to run from their pose to grant them access onto the large restaurant.

They needed the food that was causing an uproar in their throat, Rican couldn't deny it too. The aroma of the meal caused a scorching hunger to his belly if he didn't have a taste of it.

He thought he was the only one who felt that way, but he just realised that half of the city were yearning,thirsting for this special Pesto dish and Gynocchi that was circulating everywhere.

"Can you talk and stop hyperventilating?" Lucas retorted at him as Rossetti was also focused on him because of his scary reaction.

"Well, half of the city is crying for whatever it is that's coming out from this kitchen! Please if you're cooking pesto, just give it out. At Least for the sake of those top officials from the state's House!!" Rican cried again and Lucas gasped.

"That's impossible!!" He gasped and rushed outside but came but stopped on his tracks he saw angry customers who were now yelling and crying and to be served.

What the fuck?? 

Is this a kind of trance he was Inside ? Never in his years of working in Royal Volt as he saw such a massive crowd inside and outside of the restaurant.

He returned back to the kitchen but he couldn't find Xenon which even fueled his anger more.

"Where the fuck is Xenon!" He cried in desperation and Rosetti turned her side to where Xenon was standing and gasped.

He's gone.
