Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 978 One Picture, 10000 Copper Coins

Angus’s story was very long. Although his narration was a little intermittent and train of thoughts was unclear, Mag listened to him attentively the entire time with a frown. There was pity and also anger in his eyes.

The kidnappers shattered a happy family. A millionaire who gained a son in his old age became a homeless man who measured the entire Norland Continent with his feet. novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

In the past, Mag didn’t feel too much about the kidnappers’ news, but he felt very different now. If Amy was kidnapped and taken away, he would also embark on a journey to search for her just like Angus. He would have to find her even if he had to search the entire Norland Continent.

Mag looked at Angus with respect in his eyes.

“I have been searching in Chaos City for over a month. Even though I didn’t find any information, this is a good place, a very good place.” Angus looked at the children playing in the square with a bittersweet smile. “See, how cute those children are. How much fun they’re having. Even in Rodu, I seldom see so many children playing together.”

“Yes. Chaos City is indeed a good place.” Mag smiled and nodded. Then, he said to Angus, “What are you planning to do after this? Are you going to continue searching in Chaos City? Or you are going somewhere else?”

“Chaos City is too big. My brain is not as good, as I got older and I got confused. I don’t know where I have searched and where I haven’t after a month of searching.” Angus shook his head, and helplessly said, “I have decided to go back to Roth Empire to search again. I’ll be setting off shortly before the snow falls to one last place to have a look. When the snow falls, it will be time for me to go too.”

Mag looked at Angus in silence. He had so many words of consolation for him, but he couldn’t even voice one of them.

What right did he have to ask him to let it go when he had never experienced the pain himself before?

“Thank you, young man, for willing to spend time listening to this old man talking about all these useless things,” Angus said to Mag with gratitude.

“I should be thanking you for teaching me how to be a father.” Mag shook his head.

“Don’t be a father like me.” Angus quickly shook his head.

Mag got up with a smile, and said to Angus, “I have listened to your story, and now you have to eat a meal that I cooked before you can leave. Let’s go, Old Mister. Come to my place and I’ll give you a send-off.”

“This will not do. How can a person like me go to your place? No, no.” Angus pointed to his old and tattered jacket as he shook his head.

“I don’t even bother to invite the king of Roth Empire to my place, so what does it have to do with how you dress?” Mag smiled as he picked up Angus’s staff. “Let’s go. It’s just up ahead. Have a good meal before you depart. It will get colder in the north.”

Angus looked at Mag’s clear eyes and then smiled. He nodded. “Then, I shall accept deferentially rather than decline courteously, and go to your place for a meal with a thick skin.”

“A skin that could exchange for a meal is a good skin.” Mag smiled.

Angus followed suit and smiled.

Mag led Angus to Mamy Restaurant slowly. However, Angus halted when Mag pushed open the restaurant’s door.

Mag turned, and said to Angus, “Come in, Old Mister.”

“No, no. How can I go into such a clean and high-end restaurant? How are you going to welcome your customers if I dirty the place?” Angus shook his head continuously. He said to Mag, “Thank you, young man. I have already felt your sincerity, but I should get going.”

“This is my restaurant. You are my only customer before it opens for business today. Speaking of it, I used to be a citizen of the Roth Empire too,” Mag said smilingly.

Angus looked at Mag’s sincere smile, and then at the restaurant that was so clean that it seemed to be glowing. He hesitated for a long time before he nodded and went closer. He looked around after he stepped in. He didn’t go in further, and instead took a seat that was closest to the door. He sat on the edge and appeared to be very uncomfortable.

“Have some water first. I will cook for you now.” Mag placed a glass of water in front of Angus, and then went to the kitchen.

“Boss, he is?” Firis looked at Angus strangely. It wasn’t opening hours yet, so why was Mag specially cooking for a customer? Furthermore, judging from his clothes, he wasn’t a customer that could afford a meal.

“He is an old man with a story. I want to offer him a meal.” Mag was reminded of the result given by the Omniscient Door when Angus first stepped in. All those late-stage incurable diseases made him realize that Angus wasn’t saying nonsense earlier. It would be really hard for him to survive the winter.

He didn’t have a word of complaint even when he had lost all his fortunes and spent 25 years wandering around. He had alway been living in regret and guilt.

If he died without seeing his son who was lost for over 20 years, it would be an immense regret for Angus.

With regard to this issue, Mag, too, felt a sense of intense helplessness. After all, this was a child who was lost in Rodu 25 years ago. So many years had already passed, so how would he look now, and was he even alive? These were all unknowns.

Wait a second! How would he look now?! Mag’s eyes lit up. He said in his heart, “System, are you able to draw a picture of how Angus’s child would look like now based on the child’s features when he was young?”

“This is not part of my proper duties, so this system normally will not do it,” the system drawled.

“One picture, 10,000 copper coins.” Mag said calmly.

“Dear Host, the system is very happy to be of service to you. This system has done systematic and comprehensive research on portrait drawing, and has an extremely deep understanding of human evolutionary development. If there is enough accurate information on physical characteristics, and with the collected DNA from the father, this system will be able to draw a picture that is far more accurate than any criminal portraitists.” The system’s humble yet confident voice sounded.

“Excellent. If he is found, you will receive a reward of one copper coin.” Mag nodded with a smile. He already had a new idea now.

“This... This is so good!” A row of words floated across silently.

Mag pursed his lips. The system’s happiness was so cheap. Useless.

However, Mag still trusted the picture that the system produced.

He had watched the news on how portraitists helped to reunite long-lost relatives. With a picture, it would be much easier to look for a 30-year-man than depending on Angus’s description of a five-year-old alone.

After all, 25 years had passed. Angus might not even recognize the child even if he stood right in front of him.

Furthermore, Mag had a platform like Mamy Restaurant.
