“Not this time. Father intends to go out alone. Little Amy has to stay home and listen to your mother.” Mag shook his head with a smile. He could only go to Underground City alone this time.

“Alright.” Even though Amy wasn’t very happy, she still nodded obediently.

“Seems like we will get to eat scrumptious new products when Boss returns,” Miya said with anticipation.

The maidens had similar expressions too. Boss always created new things for all of them every time he returned from a trip to look for inspiration.

“Going out alone? Is Boss going to save the world again?” Shirley sized up Mag secretly. She recalled that the Norland Continent would always have big problems whenever Boss went out secretly. What was he leaving for this time?

!!

“Father, Father. You have to bring goodies for Kiddo to eat when you return.” Kiddo told him seriously with a beggar’s chicken drumstick in her hand.

“Sure. I will bring back good food for all of you.” Mag nodded smilingly.

“Yiya yiya,” Little Yayi called out too, afraid to be missed out.

After the little gathering, the maidens returned to the dormitory and Mag told the little girls a bedtime story first as usual.

Mag asked the three little ones sitting in a row on the bed, “What do you want to listen to today?”

Gina stood at the side while Firis sat on the edge of the bed with Yayi.

Because Mag’s stories were simply too interesting, the bedtime storytelling became a formal storytelling event and the audience included a few adults too.

Usually Irina would join in the fun too, but she didn’t come today.

“Nezha!” the three little ones said together.

“Father, you said the Four Dragon Kings of the Sea flooded Chentang Pass previously, what happened next?” Amy asked.

“Would Nezha kill them?” Kiddo asked seriously.

Annie had already taken out her notebook, as though she was going to take notes.

“Let’s continue on. We said that the Four Dragon Kings of the Sea created storms and flooded Chentang Pass…” Mag didn’t beat around the bush and continued with the story of ‘Nezha Conquers the Dragon King’.

Due to the fact that the western fairytales didn’t have much educational purposes and were being highly repetitive, Mag began to switch to telling the children Chinese classical mythology.

At first, he thought there might be a clash of cultures which would cause them to lose interest, but he didn’t expect the little ones to love them, and even Firis and Gina were mesmerized by them.

Moreover, Mag’s animated storytelling made the story even more exciting.

The maidens couldn’t help tearing up when they heard Nezha returning his flesh and bones to his parents and saving Chentang Pass.

“Alright. That’s the end for today’s bedtime story. If you want to know what happens next, tune in next time.” Mag snapped his fingers and brought everyone out from their emotions.

Little Amy jumped up on the bed and coyly said as she pulled Mag’s arm, “Father, please tell us one more chapter.”

“More, more.” Kiddo rolled around on the bed and stood up shakily. She lost her balance and knelt down to Mag with tears in her eyes. “Please.”

Even though Annie didn’t speak, she was also looking at Mag expectantly and still holding onto the little notebook in her hands.

“Boss, aren’t you going to go out for five days?” Firis asked softly.

“Yes, yes. You’d better finish the story, otherwise we won’t be able to sleep for the next five days.” Gina chimed in too.

It was hard to turn down such enthusiasm, so Mag sat down again and finished the story of Nezha.

“Alright, the story is finished. It’s time for bed now.” Mag got up with a smile and left the room.

Mag was going to Underground City tomorrow and he had ended his one-week-long studying-for-exam mode. After washing up, he changed into his pajamas and went back to his room.

He pushed open the door and the pinkish lights were a little seductive.

Mag looked at the bed and Irina was lying on her side in scanty clothes. Her lovely figure could be vaguely seen under the thin gauze dress.

“Are you giving your husband a send-off?” Mag closed the door and walked to the bed.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

The next morning, Mag lightly kissed the beauty lying next to him who still had a blush, and went downstairs.

After making breakfast for all of them, he left with a helping of it.

Around 16 kilometers to the west of the western city was still that deserted mountain.

It was six o’clock sharp now.

A ladder was dropped from the battleship. Mag boarded it and went straight for the control room.

Mag was already very familiar with Xi’s battleship. This was a place where he had fought before after all. He learnt many skills on this battleship.

“I bought breakfast for you.” Mag passed the breakfast to Xi, who was sitting in the captain’s seat.

“Thank you.” Xi took the insulated box and it was a helping of soup dumplings and a bowl of congee with pork and century egg. She opened the box and the aroma greeted her along with the steam.

Xi already had breakfast, but she felt she could still have some more after smelling this aroma.

“We are going to go through the passageway between the worlds to enter Underground City. The detailed plan has already been sent to your bangle. Get to know it first and ask me if you have any doubts.”

Xi turned on the auto-pilot and went to eat breakfast in the dining room at the back.

The battleship was flying steadily with only a slight vibration. However, Mag was certain that this battleship wasn’t traveling at the same kind of speed as the flying car from the speedometer on the instrument panel and the twisted visuals in front.

Mag sat down on a seat and clicked open the bangle to check the mission plan.

After entering Underground City, Hades would go to Tucker City to participate in the Top Chef Competition. Currently, the competition had already proceeded to the top eight contestants. A contestant has quit the competition due to health reasons and the organizers would announce that Hades would compete in the top eight as a special contestant…

Mag enjoyed reading the plan which was rather interesting.

According to their meaning, he was to participate in a variety show called ‘Top Chef Competition’ during this trip to Underground City.

This variety show was solely sponsored by the Mocha Group under the McCarthy Family. Their real objective was to select the chef for the McCarthy Family while making the show.

Mag needed to take part in the competition as the expert from the grounds and compete with the Underground City’s famous chefs. He had to win the competition and enter into the internal folds of the McCarthy Family.

The plan stopped there. The plan after entering the McCarthy Family didn’t appear. Perhaps, it didn’t exist at all?

What an impeccable plan. Did they even assume that he would win?

Even Mag himself wasn’t that confident.

“Is there any problem?” Xi had returned after having her breakfast. Her mouth was slightly swollen. She was scalded by the soup in the soup dumpling.

“Are you guys that confident in me?” Mag asked with a smile.

“We have people in the judging panel,” Xi answered calmly.

“Oh, excuse me.” Mag shook his head and sighed. Public morals were degenerating with each passing day. They were even cheating in competitions.
