People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"You know, you know very well, you'll see when you see them. Lucy, why aren't Mengmeng and the others downstairs?"

Yuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "Momo and the others went back to wash up, but judging from their usual time, they should be done by now. Hey, Akali, we're going to start construction soon, so if you have time, come back and take a look."

"Huh? So fast? The blueprints are already finished?"

"Pretty much, but we started by planning around the gardens and exterior walls, and then gradually built the house. We also built the framework of the main house first. The interior is indeed very troublesome, but that's something for later."

"Oh... Hmm? You're here..."

Akali! Me... Katarina?!

"Katarina?!" x3

"Fiora of Demacia, Luxanna?! Wait...who are you?!"

“Uh…”

Chapter 350 The Female Assassins' Intuition, What Everyone Fears (Please Subscribe~)

Lucifer and the others looked like they were watching a show, and had even taken out snacks to prepare for it, but Lux and the others were a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Fiora, Lux, and Sona all had their hair down because they had just taken a shower. These three definitely knew Katarina, but it felt a little strange that they were meeting like this now.

Riven, however, was even more embarrassed. With her hair down and a look of surprise on her face, she knew Katarina was coming, but seeing her in person still surprised her. But was she really that unknown? Just because she changed her hairstyle, became a little fairer, and dressed differently, did people not recognize her?

Akali said in a deep voice, "Having received these memories, don't you know that Fiona and the others are also our sisters?"

"Although I already knew, I was still surprised to see her suddenly. The apple of the eye of the three noble families of Demacia, the current patriarch of the Laurent family, the peerless swordswoman Fiora, the apple of the eye of the Buvel family, the famous Sona, and Luxana, the loyal member of the warrior family, who is in charge of business and family communication."

"Demacia has many noble families, but these three are the most elite. You..."

Lux waved her hand and said, "I just got lucky. And if you remember, you'll know what happened, so I won't explain. I didn't expect you to actually come."

Katarina glanced at Caitlyn and Vi who were watching from the sidelines, then sighed without saying a word. After a couple of seconds of silence, she looked up at Riven and said in a low voice, "You are... Riven?!"

Katarina wasn't just adjusting her mindset; she was also pondering the memories of the white-haired woman in her past. Logically, she knew Caitlyn and Vi, but not the Piltover Enforcer and the Piltover Sheriff. So, the so-called "cute girl" must be the white-haired woman in front of her.

The moment she saw him, she called out his name, which meant she definitely knew him and was from Noxus. After quickly searching through his memories, Riven suddenly looked up at him with disbelief.

Riven breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was me. You really knew me."

"Heh... You escaped Noxus with the rune greatsword that the Empire has been searching for. I didn't expect you to end up in another world, and, heh... you even got married."

Riven pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "I am a woman too, why can't I get married? Besides, it was the world and my own choice that brought me here. I have been wandering for too long."

Katarina said in a deep voice, "Where is the sword?"

"Don't even think about taking it away. The power of that sword is too terrifying and will cause a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice. I have already entrusted the rune greatsword to my husband for safekeeping. If you have the ability, then go ahead and take it."

Katarina narrowed her eyes and said, "You know what that sword means to the Empire."

"But I am the master of this sword."

"Tch... As per the agreement I made with Akali, I may bring the Trident of the Trifary Council with me. You, who wield the Rune Sword, should know very well what this means."

Riven clenched her fist and said, "So what?"

After a moment of silence, Katarina gritted her teeth and said, "I can keep quiet about this, but you'll still have to face her later."

“I will handle this matter personally! I will also go back to Ionia in a while, but I will go there to explain to Lord Karma the crimes I committed in the past.”

Katarina gave Riven a deep look before clicking her tongue, turning her head away without saying a word. Just as Riven was about to say something, Katarina said in a deep voice, "Obeying orders is a soldier's duty. War is bound to have bloodshed. The former Imperial Soldier Captain is really gentle now."

"Because I have my own family, and things that I deserve to protect."

Katarina suddenly seemed to remember something, turned her head, and said in a strange tone, "Mengmeng?"

Riven blushed as well. Although she was used to being called that now, she still felt embarrassed to have it brought up suddenly.

Akali said in a deep voice, "So, you've seen the person and you know what happened. You'll stay here for the time being. Caitlyn, I called you down because you might know a little more about this place than I do."

"Where?"

"Targon."

"Where?!" xn

Even Sona covered her mouth in surprise; they never expected that Akali would want to talk to them about something related to Mount Targon.

Lucifer and the others, having snapped out of their daze, asked with some confusion, "Akali said that Soraka and the others are planning to go to Ixtal, then cross Shurima, with Mount Targon as their destination? What's Mount Targon?"

Fiona's eye twitched and she said, "Soraka really is... Mount Targon, located in a very remote place. As the name suggests, gods, or celestial spirits, live on Mount Targon. They all have great power. To put it simply, that's it."

Lux swallowed hard and said, "By the way, if we're talking about where Soraka belongs, she belongs to Mount Targon. And the two angel sisters that Soraka mentioned during the meeting, their mother is a Protoss of Justice, so they belong to Mount Targon."

Lucifer and the others nodded, but Grefia frowned and said, "Wait... why does Soraka want to go back? Shouldn't she be going to Freljord? Is it just a stop along the way?"

"No, you 4.0 shouldn't forget the premise for Soraka's trip: the previous meeting. So, hopefully, Soraka won't bring back any Protoss when she goes back this time. If it's normal, that's fine, but I'm afraid it'll be several more Sorakas."

Everyone finally understood what was going on. Logically speaking, a god's friend is probably also a god, but if Soraka brought several goddesses with her, they might all be the same kind of people, which would be quite a mess.

Najendan and the others watched silently. Although they didn't know what had happened, they felt that if they moved here, things would become very lively.

"Esdeath, you... um? Um?! What's that smell?!"

"It smells so good!"

Chapter 351 Katarina's Sister, Cassiopeia the Snake Woman (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone knew that this was the smell of a dish, but no one knew what kind of dish it was. Lucifer smacked his lips and said, "They say you're never sleepy when you're running a shop, but this smell is enough to make you fall asleep or wake up hungry."

Leone swallowed hard and said, "This should be our dinner, right?"

"That's right, as expected of Mr. Shiraha, his culinary skills are truly terrifying. Esdeath, if we don't go back, what should we say at the court assembly?"

Akame and the others also forcibly shifted their attention away from their food. Esdeath casually said, "As I said before, you were just taking up seats. Now you're on our side, and you know this secret, which means you're trustworthy."

"These Imperial Arms need to be all under your control. As long as you are there, there will be absolutely no discord in these positions that are like the heart of the capital. As for the military, Riva, Will, and Brand are in charge of politics and scientific research, as are Lan and Fashion."

"Then your positions, including security, logistics, transportation, and so on, must unite the capital into one force, so that my empire may never perish."

Lucifer and the others nodded in agreement. Katarina and the others also glanced at Esdeath. Having regained her memories, she knew Esdeath's story clearly. Was this woman the Empress who had conquered the entire world? She certainly had presence.

Lucifer, propping his chin on his hand, said, "Akali, how's the investigation going with what I asked you to do?"

Akali shook her head and said, "I have no clue, and I can't get in touch with her at all. That's one of the reasons I brought her here. But don't get your hopes up too high. She can't possibly know her core secrets."

Katarina frowned and said, "Are you so sure I'll tell?"

"First of all, the questions we're asking you have nothing to do with the military. Secondly, you couldn't possibly know that much, and besides, do you think what kind of troublesome things we'd like to know?"

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "Akali, since Katarina is also coming to stay for a while, you can relax your attitude for now. After all, Katarina isn't in charge of the war, is she?"

"Bah..."

Lucifer, with his legs crossed, casually said, "Say it if you want, or it's fine if you don't. It's just asking three people. You already know two of them: the Pale Witch, the third one, and you. The third person..."

"Who?"

Yukari Yakumo, holding her fan, smiled and said, "It's nothing, nothing at all. The last person wasn't anyone important. We met some people back in Noxus, and among them was one person, or rather... a creature..."

Katarina frowned slightly and asked, "Sean?"

"No, no, no, we saw that spirit too. No, we just caught a glimpse of it—a woman with a human body and a snake's tail..."

Katarina suddenly clenched her fists. This slight movement was noticed even by Perona and the others who stayed downstairs to watch the show, let alone Lucifer and the others.

Akali narrowed her eyes and said, "You two have a grudge?"

Fiona said in a deep voice, "Human body and snake tail... I've heard people say that Noxus has many special life forms, and the ways invaders die are also varied: having their throats slit, being drained of blood, dying from poisoning, or mysteriously disappearing leaving behind only lifelike stone sculptures, etc... Human body and snake tail, then this poison...?"

Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. I'm just curious about its existence."

Katarina gritted her teeth for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "She...sigh...her name is Cassiopeia, and she comes from one of the most powerful noble families in Noxus."

"So, is she one of the many forms? Or is it a special kind of magic? And you look like this..."

"she...."

Katarina gritted her teeth again before finally saying in a low voice, "She is my biological sister."

"What?!"

Even Akali and the others were somewhat surprised. Katarina was a genuine human, and she definitely didn't know magic; she was the kind of character who wouldn't have mana even if thrown into a game. Her sister, her own sister, had actually become like this... Katarina...

Katarina said in a deep voice, "I am a genuine human, and so was she. My family... was once one of the most powerful families in Noxus, or even one of the most powerful. My father was General Duke Kao of Noxus, a name that you, as fellow residents of Runeterra, should know."

Lux and the others were all surprised. Lux said blankly, "Your father is actually him?! The general who almost oversaw the military and political power of Noxus, the general who expanded Noxus territory to the border of Shurima, the general known as the hero of Noxus, the cold-blooded war maniac, and the master assassin of Noxus."

"My father and mother both had their own things to do, which is something I only thought about these past few days. My sister, Cassiopeia, was once one of the most beautiful and delicate girls in Noxus. She loved learning and was intelligent and meticulous."

“I learned assassination from my father from a young age, undergoing inhuman training, while Cassiopeia learned politics, business, diplomacy, and many other cunning tactics from our mother. At that time, our whole family moved to Uzeris, which was an expanded city.”

"After that, because of my power, when my father was summoned back to Noxus, he took me with him, while she and my mother remained in Uzeris until much later, when Swain staged a coup and Darkwill was overthrown."

"After that, I don't know what happened, but Cassiopeia went deep into Shurima and came back like this. She spends most of her time active around Uzeris and Shurima. As for what she does, I don't know. Now it seems that perhaps... Mother is a member of that third-party force."

"She nurtured Cassiopeia, but it was also because of her instructions that Cassiopeia became like this. After that, I only saw her a few times. I don't hate her, but I feel that she is becoming more and more cold-blooded and cruel. However, she has not lost her humanity and rationality; she is just constantly growing."

Katarina clenched her fist and said, "That's why I agreed to ask that third corner."

“Oh.…”xn

Chapter 352 Katarina's Training Arouses the Greed of the Crowd (Please Subscribe~)

Katarina's answer was truly unexpected for them. How could such a thing happen? Especially for Lucifer and the others, what a coincidence! They beat Katarina, ran into her sister, and even beat up that third party. Wow, what a coincidence!

Perhaps due to the sudden awkwardness, Lucifer coughed lightly and said, "Um... you said before that you underwent inhuman training since childhood? What kind of training?"

Akame and the others were also quite curious about the training methods of this ace assassin. Katarina said in a deep voice, "It is mainly divided into three types. The most basic is the use of weapons, especially daggers and throwing knives, which are also the weapons I am most comfortable with."

"and then?"

"Physical fitness and explosive power training allows you to strike with maximum force and deliver a fatal blow, the last thing..."

At first, Akame and the others didn't think much of it, but they were all stunned for a moment. Katarina said in a deep voice, "The last thing is to apply various poisons with different toxicities and effects to the body, in small to large doses, to train the body and mind to tolerate toxicity and pain, and to develop endurance to the maximum extent."

“Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, I spent almost all my time in this repetitive training, including during normal study time. There was no other life. Besides training, I just gritted my teeth and endured the pain. Gradually, I became completely numb and developed amazing endurance. Only then did this training come to an end.”

Everyone swallowed hard. You're really ruthless to yourself, especially for a woman. For a beautiful woman, skin is extremely important and precious. To train like this, you'll stop at nothing to become stronger. No wonder this is a country where everyone values ​​martial arts.

Katarina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Perhaps it's because of my honed resilience, recovery ability, pain tolerance, and the fact that you showed me mercy that I woke up after only a short time."

"Huh? You weren't unconscious for long?"

"No, I woke up almost immediately after being discovered, but I was still sent to the hospital to recuperate. However, it was more like an interrogation than recuperation. I was interrogated no less than twenty times during that period."

Lux clicked her tongue and said, "You're quite the hero, aren't you? This interrogation is truly worthy of Noxus."

"It's normal. I didn't achieve my goal but I'm still alive. Tyrone hasn't recovered yet, while I only suffered minor injuries. Not throwing me into jail for interrogation is already a sign of leniency."

Tsunade sighed and said, "Your country is abnormal."

Riven said blankly, "Hey... I'm still here, I'm perfectly normal! What's wrong with me!"

"Come on, open your phone's photo album."

"Um... I'm going to wash my hands."

Riven just slipped away. Seriously, how could her phone's photo album possibly be exposed? If it were discovered, even with her high tolerance, she'd probably have a meltdown.

The group chuckled and didn't dwell on the topic any further. However, Katarina's honest answer made her less reserved and cautious, and Lucifer and the others gradually found some topics that Katarina could participate in.

As for Riven, she quietly slipped out of the bathroom when they were talking about the various city-states, but everyone was just joking. How could they really force her to go through Riven's phone? Even sisters have their own secrets.

"Huh? So Demacia is still stronger?"

Fiona said in a deep voice, "Demacia should be stronger, or rather, there are more powerful beings in Demacia. That anti-magic statue can almost render all the mages in the world helpless. Moreover, it is said that Demacia is blessed by the gods, and there are dragons in Demacia."

Riven nodded and said, "No wonder they can go toe-to-toe with Noxus. I don't play against Demacia, so I don't really know much about them. Demacia seems pretty strong."

"If Demacia didn't have enough strength, it would have been conquered by Noxus long ago."

"That's true, but... Mmm! It smells so good! As expected of my husband, sometimes it's really hard to feel sleepy when I'm at the shop. As soon as a customer comes in, not only do we have something to talk about, but the aroma immediately wakes me up."

While casually spitting out fruit with a fork, Yuko Ichihara said, "Otherwise, what do you think we shopkeepers do all day? We just eat and chat. Let me tell you, while you guys are having a party upstairs, we're having a very fulfilling time downstairs, okay?"
