Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family - Chapter 1121 Taste of McTony’s

Chapter 1121  Taste of McTony’s

Eldea already had a feeling that it was the Reborn company who was responsible for the infiltration. After all, the ones responsible were none other than people of the demi-human denomination.

And as much as she didn’t want to discriminate, demi-humans simply didn’t have that much power compared to humans or Beastfolks. Except, of course, the demi-humans from the Reborn company. They were on a whole other level, evidenced by that white-scaled demi-human that beat everybody with her skill in the bow. And the Heavenly Swordmistress guessed that something similar will also happen with the blue-scaled one with the sword.

That’s the reason why she wanted to visit the Reborn company in the first place. It was because she valued them greatly.

Unlike those Conglomerates and the Upper Echelons who had been fed with misinformation, Eldea knew about things firsthand from Duchess Regina. The Monarch of Metropolis was more than happy to brag about Michael to their little group of friends.

“I would also like to try that famous fried chicken of yours,” Eldea said to Michael. “I know Rivet personally, and that girl’s taste has always been hard to satiate. The fact that you were able to make her eat that much food in one sitting is very much impressive.”

Michael had no problem doing that. And before he could even order it out, Sheina had already brought out a large tray containing all of McTony’s offerings.

She brought enough for multiple people.

“This is for you, Heavenly Swordmistress,” said Sheina. “I recommend our signature fried chicken paired with our new ice cream.”

Then, she turned to the butler, who seemed disinterested in whatever was being presented to him. However, even he couldn’t help but feel curious as he smelled that unique scent of Dragons’ Whiskers wafting from the hot fried chicken.

“This meal is for you. And the rest are for the ones behind you.”

“!!!”

The butler’s eyes widened as he realized that Sheina saw through their stealth.

Of course, the butler had asked a few Knights to stand guard inside the room, completely making sure that they were undetected from everybody.

These Knights were in the 9th stage of the Body Formation realm, just a half-step from the Nascent Spirit! And yet, she could see through them?!

It seemed that he really was underestimating these groups of demi-humans.

“I told you they’d know. Anyway, just sit down and take what you’ve been offered. I don’t want you to be rude.”

The butler had no choice but to oblige. But he stubbornly kept to his feet. “Very well,” he said before cutting a small piece of chicken from Eldea’s plate and eating it immediately.

He wanted to check for any poisons.

But instead of that, what he found was a completely new sensation! His tongue felt the heat!

“Oh, if you’re acting like that, then it must be good,” Eldea said, finally taking a bite for herself.

She gasped with a look of mirth on her face. “Haha, it’s so good!”

Both of them began eating the chicken on their plates. And prompted by their insatiable curiosity, the other stealthed Knights finally showed themselves and began eating on their own plates as well.

And it became apparent to all of them as to why Rivet had taken a liking to the food. It was a new sensation that could affect even those with a high cultivation like theirs! No food was like this, except for the ones produced by the Conglomerates and the Upper Echelons. But those were very rare and expensive to produce. In contrast, this fried chicken did it better, while also being cheap and easy to produce. It was a perfect recipe for success!

*slurp*

The butler broke through the silence as he began sipping the RD Soda. And despite being embarrassed, he couldn’t help but keep on drinking this fizzy drink.

“BURP! … would it be possible for another one?” he asked.

Sheina smiled before giving him another cup, which the butler graciously accepted.

Eldea wanted to eat more of the fried chicken, but she couldn’t help but put her focus on one of the products on her plate.

It was a swirly ice cream on a cone.

“This looks different from the one Rivet ordered,” Eldea commented.

Michael nodded. “Yeah, she ordered a plain vanilla ice cream cone. The one I gave you is a new variant called the chocolate ice cream.”

Curious, the Heavenly Swordmistress took a small sample.

And as soon as she did, her eyes widened in complete shock.

Suddenly, Michael flinched and activated his [Absolute Unity Defense].

He felt like there was an edge of a blade pressing right onto his neck, just a few inches away from killing him.

But when he looked down to his neck, there was nothing there.

“My deepest apologies,” the Heavenly Swordmistress said, bowing in a 90 degree arc to Michael. “I didn’t mean to unleash my sword intent like that.”

Michael massaged his neck. That feeling felt so real and visceral. Even ChatJK6 was fooled since she activated the [Absolute Unity Defense] at the moment it happened.

And it seemed that they weren’t the only ones. The butler and the rest of the Knights fell to the floor and was now prostrating to Eldea.

It was at this point that Michael truly realized who was in front of him. She was a Heavenly Knight. Just a single look from her would have been enough to injure him. Maybe fatally. This made him realize that she was far beyond the Nascent Spirit realm in her current power.

“This is unbecoming of me,” Eldea said, shaking her head. “Unprofessional.”

Michael cleared his throat. “It’s… fine. But what was that?”

“That was my Sword Intent. It’s a technique that turns my thoughts as dangerous as a real weapon. Unleashing this technique is usually only reserved for when I’m fighting someone… or when I’m truly surprised.”

Then, she raised the chocolate ice cream in front of her.

“This ice cream… It increased my Aubility Power.”
