A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 752

Chapter 752: He Already Has a Daughter?!

Everyone turned to Novan with surprise in their eyes.

As the most powerful spatial magic caster of the Norland Continent and one of the great magic caster trio of Chaos City, Novan was Chaos City’s representative to attend the king’s birthday banquet, but no one was expecting him to oppose Sean over a mere chef.

Chaos City had been founded only a mere century ago, and it was a city comprised of a diverse smorgasbord of different races. Even though it had been developing steadily for the past several decades to become a force to be reckoned with on the Norland Continent, they had always upheld peace and equality, and maintained positive relations with every race.

The conflict between the two princes was no secret to anyone. However, all of the other races seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other as all of them had refrained from picking a side.

Novan was suddenly speaking out for Mag, so could that mean that Chaos City was siding with Josh?

Sean had always been a fan of waging battle against the other races. If he were to become the king of the Roth Empire, no one knew if the empire was going to continue to uphold and abide by the peace treaty.

In contrast, Josh was milder in his political approach, so he was clearly the better choice for Chaos City.

Countless thoughts raced through the minds of the representatives from each race as they looked at Novan. The had automatically neglected the possibility that Novan was speaking out solely for Mag’s sake with no deeper motive to be gleaned.

However, Mag was struck by a sense of enlightenment as he took a glance at Novan. It appeared that he wasn’t just here as a representative of Chaos City; City Lord Michael must’ve also assigned him the task of ensuring Mag’s return to Chaos City.

Josh was internally ecstatic by the fact that Novan appeared to be siding with him, but he cast a concerned glance toward the king.

If the king insisted on keeping Mag in Rodu, then the situation could become rather tense.

Sean raised his eyebrows slightly in response. He was trying to aim some accusations at Josh and place him in a difficult situation, but he hadn’t thought that Novan would jump to Josh’s aid. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in a split second, but his expression remained calm as he said, “Please don’t misunderstand, Principal Novan. I’m not trying to insult Chaos City. I’m merely elaborating on the issue at hand, which is that this insolent chef is displaying extreme arrogance in refusing His Majesty’s reward. As such, he must be severely punished to set an example for everyone else.”

“I beg to differ, Your Highness. Mr. Mag is the most exceptional chef of our Chaos City, and City Lord Michael holds him in very high regard. The conflict between the dragons and the demons not long ago was only resolved in such a short time due to Mr. Mag’s efforts, so he’s certainly more than just a mere chef. He’s only turning down His Majesty’s reward as he’s unwilling to give up on his own restaurant, and he’s shown nothing but respect to His Majesty throughout this entire process; what display of insolence has he made, and what crimes has he committed?” Novan’s expression darkened slightly as he looked at Sean, and he said, “Furthermore, Mag is a citizen of our Chaos City. If he wishes to return to our city, we would welcome him with open arms!”

Novan’s voice wasn’t very loud, but he spoke in a very firm and decisive manner, without mincing his words in the slightest.

Mag was preparing to sit back and watch the show, but a peculiar feeling suddenly welled up in his heart as he looked at Novan.

It was a rather strange sense of belonging.

Even though Mag had already come to terms with the fact that he had transmigrated to this alternate world, only Amy and his restaurant gave him a sense of belonging. In all honesty, he didn’t even know whether he was siding with the Roth Empire or Chaos City.

However, he now had an answer to that question.

Novan’s proclamation that Chaos City would welcome him with open arms had truly touched him.

“Not only is Novan is speaking out for him, he’s even getting the entirety of Chaos City involved!”

“I didn’t know that he played a role in resolving the conflict between the demons and the dragons!”

All of the officials looked at Mag with surprise in their eyes. They had thought that he was only a brilliant chef, but it appeared that he was actually much more than that.

Amy looked up at Krassu, and pouted as she wheedled, “Master, I also want to go back to Chaos City. Our restaurant is there, and so is Jessica, Daphne, Big Sister Aisha, Big Sister Miya… They’re all there.”

Krassu looked down at Amy’s pitiable display, and his heart immediately melted. He nodded without even thinking as he said, “Alright, we’ll definitely go back.”

Meanwhile, Luna was looking at Mag with a concerned expression. She knew that with Mag’s personality, he was definitely going to return to Chaos City, but she didn’t think that the situation would become so tense.

Sean didn’t think that Novan would be so decisive about a chef, even to the extent that he was bringing up the entirety of Chaos City. For him to be held in such high regard by Novan, just who was this man? With that in mind, Sean was a little hesitant about how to proceed.

He was just about to say something when Krassu suddenly turned to him with a displeased expression and broke his silence. “Aren’t you being a little too quick to point fingers, Your Highness? Boss Mag is the father of my disciple, and back in Chaos City, we have to line up in massive queues just to taste Boss Mag’s cooking. If you force him to stay in Rodu, what’s going to become of the customers of his restaurant? Are you asking them to go and starve to death?”

Sean’s eyelids twitched upon hearing this. Novan alone was already enough of a headache for him, but the madman, Krassu, was also speaking out against him. If Krassu were to side with Josh again over this matter, Sean would be in a world of trouble. That was the most concerning thing to him.

“He’s the father of Master Krassu’s disciple? What kind of luck does he have to be granted such an exceptional daughter?”

Krassu’s words sent a stir running through all of the officials present once again. It turned out that not only was this man an incredible chef, he was also the father of perhaps the greatest magical prodigy in history!

“He already has a daughter?!”

All of the female guests present let loose wails of grief. For him to have such a beautiful daughter indicated that his wife had to be an extremely gorgeous elf. In that case, they had next to no chance.

Right at this moment, Byron Field rose to his feet and clasped his fist in a salute toward the king. “Your Majesty, Mr. Mag is not just an outstanding chef, he’s also a brilliant mathematician. The revolutionary multiplication table that I’ve been trying promote was invented by none other than Mr. Mag himself. If we can implement this tool on a continent-wide basis, it will be a huge step forward for the field of mathematics! As such, I believe we should treat Mr. Mag with kindness rather than punish such a brilliant genius.”

The commotion in the palace grew even louder.

Byron was the Roth Empire’s minister of education, and also a highly respected and renowned figure in the field of mathematics, yet he was hailing Mag as a genius mathematician?

So not only was he a superb chef and the father of Master Krassu’s freakishly talented disciple, he was also a brilliant mathematician?

Everyone was completely flabbergasted by the glowing entries on Mag’s resume. They simply couldn’t fathom how anyone was capable of achieving these things, and at such a young age, at that.

Sean’s eyes were also filled with surprise as he cast a glance at Mag. He had been suspecting that he and Alex were one and the same, but that suspicion had now been completely debunked in his mind.

However, he had already aimed a series of accusations at Josh and Mag, and he couldn’t just swallow his words now. Thus, he was caught in an awkward situation where it appeared that there was no right path to take.
