Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

Axe looked at the shop assistants, each of them glaring at them menacingly, as if they could be taken down at Wen Nuan's command.

AX quickly said, "Boss, it's not that we don't have money, it's just that we didn't expect this meal to be so expensive, and we really didn't bring enough cash."

Wen Nuan frowned slightly. "What should we do? Our shop has low profits and we don't offer credit."

AX said, forcing a smile, "Boss, although we don't have that much money with us, we can use other things to pay for it."

Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling him to continue.

X took a deep breath, carefully took out a delicate crystal that emitted a faint blue light from his pocket, and said.

"Boss, this is a magic crystal I found by chance in an ancient ruin. Its magic is pure and powerful, and can be used to enhance and repair various magical items. It should be enough to cover the cost of this meal."

Her warm gaze fell on the crystal, a hint of surprise and interest flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and gently shook her head. "This crystal is nice, but it doesn't seem to be of any use to me."

Ax was getting anxious. He searched his body for a while and pulled out a strangely shaped dagger. The blade of the dagger was covered with mysterious runes and shimmered with a silver light.

"Boss, take another look at this."

He drew the dagger, its tip still gleaming coldly.

"This dagger was forged by a dwarven blacksmith master using meteorite iron. It is incredibly sharp and also possesses anti-magic properties, making it a rare and precious item on the market."

Wen Nuan took the dagger and examined it for a moment, but still sighed, "What would I, a restaurant owner, need this sharp dagger for? To cut vegetables?"

Ex panicked completely and looked helplessly at his companion.

Huck gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and took a necklace off his neck.

The necklace's pendant is a pearl that emits a soft white light, surrounded by a circle of tiny gold leaves, as if guarding this bright pearl.

"Boss, this is a protective necklace passed down in our family. It has powerful protective magic and can form a shield to protect the wearer in critical moments. Its value is immeasurable. What do you think?"

If it weren't for this necklace, they would have been killed by the Azure Wind Wolf long ago, and they wouldn't have had a chance to escape.

Warm stared at the necklace, remaining silent for a long time. The atmosphere in the store grew increasingly tense. X and Hack's hearts were in their throats, awaiting Warm's final decision...

Wen Nuan glanced at Ludwig discreetly, and only after seeing him nod slightly did she feign reluctance and reluctantly nod as well.

"alright."

The two simple words sounded like heavenly music to the ears of Ex and his companion.

Ex breathed a sigh of relief, his face beaming with gratitude, and quickly said...

"Boss, thank you so much! We will remember your kindness and will definitely repay you if we have the opportunity in the future."

Hack nodded repeatedly, carefully handing the necklace to Wen Nuan, his eyes still showing a hint of reluctance, but more so, relief that the crisis had been resolved.

Wen Nuan took the necklace, carefully put it away, then put on a professional smile and said, "Thank you for your patronage!"

Ex looked at the magical items that Warmth had refused in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Boss, you can have these too, but could you... could you sell us some more food..."

warmth,"???"

Hack looked at him, puzzled, then glanced at Wen Nuan, took his hand, and whispered something.

"We don't have enough money, let's come again next time."

He glanced cautiously at the several tall employees around him.

I strongly suspect that if they dared to dine and dash, even if it was just a thought, these men would not let them off the hook.

The outcome... will probably be no better than facing the Azure Wind Wolf...

Hack couldn't understand it. Wasn't X courting death?

But Ax ignored him and just stared at Wen Nuan with a stubborn look on his face.

"...Can I know the reason?"

Warmth was somewhat curious.

AX took a deep breath and said slowly, "Boss, to be honest, my family has been cursed, and this curse will erode our bloodline."

"The higher the magic power, the more severely the bloodline is eroded. Generations of family members have suffered greatly because of this, their bodies gradually weaken, and their magic power goes out of control. We have searched everywhere for famous doctors and magicians, but to no avail."

Warmth listened intently, a hint of surprise on her face.

Curses and such sound rather evil.

"But I just ate food from your restaurant," Ax continued.

"At first, I didn't pay attention, but then I found that the curse seemed to be loosening, and the erosion of magic in my bloodline stopped worsening."

Ex's face showed surprise.

"It's simply a miracle; it's all thanks to these meals."

"That's why I'm so determined to get some more food, hoping to completely cure and break the curse on our family."

Ex looked at Warm with reverence in his eyes.

In his mind, Wen Nuan's current identity is already similar to that of a reclusive big shot.

I've even imagined a warm and magical past, which eventually faded into obscurity in this little restaurant for some reason.

X thinks that Warmth might be a descendant of an ancient magical family.

Tired of family feuds and worldly turmoil, he chose to spend the rest of his life in such an ordinary way.

But at crucial moments, their hidden abilities will always be revealed unintentionally, such as the power to unintentionally resolve the curse on their own family.

Warmth felt a little uncomfortable under Ex's intense gaze and coughed lightly.

To be honest, she always learned the benefits of her restaurant's food from the customers themselves.

Meeting Ax's gaze, Wen Nuan felt a little guilty and touched the tip of her nose.

"You want to change your food, right? Sure."

"Really?"

Ex hadn't held out much hope, and was thinking that if he was rejected, he would bring more gold coins next time.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly unapproachable big shot turned out to be so understanding.

Ex's eyes reddened with emotion, and his voice trembled, "Boss, I will never forget your great kindness to our family!"

He blinked, then suddenly felt a little shy. "How about I... I offer myself to you in return?"

Chu Ze and the others were confused.

Kid, I think you're asking for trouble!
