46 Bad Cook

“Enough chit-chatting, now tell me exactly what brought you to my house because there is no way I would believe you only came here to give me that piece of information, and want nothing else In return,”

Alec said, his playful expression disappearing, finally showing a rare serious expression considering he was almost never serious except when he was making a new golem.

“Errm, our Elder’s said it would be better if we all formed teams, now that we are about to participate in the blood moon, It is necessary since we need to be in sync with each other,” Knight quickly explained for her before she could reply to Alec.

“Ohhh, the First elder, right?” Alec asked.

“Yes,” Knight nodded his head happily when he saw that Alec was following what he was talking about.

“Well, you want to ride on our wings and be safe, and you dare come here and use the First elder to make me bend?, What a joke! If you want to beg me to carry you along, then do it properly,” Alec said as the mood in the atmosphere changed.

Even Titan, whom they had never seen before, just appeared and they were clueless about when the golem even reached there.

It just crept up on everybody, and its aura around its body dyed in a blackish red colour as it looked at those who made its master angry.

Sweat started dripping down from Agnes’ head as she realized that Alec was actually not easy to talk to, He was quite scary when he got angry.

Scenes of him fighting crossed her mind, and she realized that this guy was just a wolf who liked acting like a sheep and should not be pushed too hard, or he might bite back.

“I’m sorry about that, We have actually come to plead that you allow us to tag along with you and also train with you so we can get along well before the attack by the blood moon creatures,”

Agnes said to calm Alec’s nerves down.

“Now you’re talking. What do you have to offer?”

The tense atmosphere just diffused like it was never there in the first place as Alec started smiling, and the killing intent that Legion and Titan were releasing disappeared like a play.

Even Titan walked away again, leaving the rest of the people confused about what it was doing, always staying out of anyone’s view.

“Hey, you can’t really be serious, boss,”

Arthur said in surprise as he could feel that Alec was not against her.

Now he realized he should have told Alec about how Agnes acted at the Banquet.

“Well, I am, and that’s only if she has something good to offer,” Alec said.

“Well, you see, at the Banquet...”

Arthur was about to expose Agnes before Alec raised his hand and made him stop.

Agnes’ body trembled as she realized that Alec was not even aware of her behaviour yet.

Still, she was happy he had stopped Arthur on time; if not, she would have been embarrassed, if what she had done was exposed right now, when she is in an awkward position.

“So, Miss Agnes, what do you have to offer me if I take you along with me and also train both you and your sidekick?” Alec said.

“Alec, we are from the same Clan, Why are you trying to extort us?” Knight protested.

“Number one, that idiot better not get on my nerves again, or you can kiss me watching over you goodbye,” Alec said, pointing at the knight. free(w)ebnov(e)l

Knight: “...”

Knight was quite surprised as he was not expecting Alec to call him an idiot.

“Now, on to number two. I’m not asking you to give me money or die for me, I just need a little help, like someone who can cook for me, We are family; I won’t push you hard,” Alec finally revealed his intentions.

“I’m just interested in testing someone else’s food, After all, I was made to go to a Banquet where there was no food served, They should just change the name to martial competition, so people should have known that no food was there in the first place, I went there with ulterior motives but ended up sleeping through the boring fights.” Alec said in annoyance.

Both Arthur and Brandon started drooling the moment they heard Alec’s request for food.

“Oh, I would try,” Agnes said.

“No problem. The moment we taste your food, we shall evaluate if you can join us or not,” Alec said.

Before turning only to see both Arthur and Brandon drooling while giving him thumbs up.

“What the fuck is wrong with you two foodies?, The food will come soon, At least behave properly,” Alec scolded.

Knight laughed secretly at the three as he couldn’t wait to watch a very interesting drama unfold.

Agnes quickly finished cooking and brought it over for Alec and his gang to test.

Arthur couldn’t help himself and brought out five spoons he had hidden, distributing two for both Alec and Brandon, who collected the spoons happily with a smile on their faces.

He then turned and gave Knight and Agnes two spoons, which Knight rejected, claiming not to be interested in tasting the food one bit.

Agnes had a black look on her face as she handed over the spoon.

She knew how bad her cooking was, and even Knight knew it too, which was why he was quick to reject it.

But she couldn’t reject it, or they might become suspicious of her, especially since she was the one who cooked the meal.

Reluctantly, she accepted the spoon and joined Alec, Brandon, and Arthur in sitting around the small pot of noodles, while Knight leaned against the big tree in the courtyard, picking the perfect place to watch the upcoming spectacle.

“I am so going to enjoy this,” Knight said to himself.

“Take more! Don’t be shy. The cooking was just a fake test, You are part of the family after all, You can come train with us starting today,” Alec said while patting Agnes on the back.

He scooped his first spoonful and put it in his mouth. His expression changed the moment he started chewing, but he held it in, not ready to suffer alone.

He waited for both Arthur and Brandon to place the spoon in their mouths, and the moment they did, their facial expressions shifted into ones of misery.

Agnes was still unaware of the chaos she had caused and put a spoonful in her mouth, only to spit it out instantly into Arthur’s face.

Alec and Brandon quickly vomited their share of food and laughed heartily at Arthur.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?, Even if your cooking was bad, those were noodles! How on earth can you make bad noodles? I’m baffled!” Arthur complained while still holding onto his stomach in pain.

“I...erm, I’m sorry, but it was just that I couldn’t afford to tell you that I’m not good at cooking, It was the only option you gave me if I wanted to tag along with you,” Agnes apologized.

Knight chuckled quietly, enjoying the situation unfolding before him.

A worried expression crossed Agnes’ face as she asked,

“Do I still have a spot in your team?”

Alec’s mouth hung open, unable to refute her words. 𝑓𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛ℴ𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After all, he was the one who had asked her to cook in the first place.

“I promise I can do other things, I have a lot of ideas about the Blood Moon creatures, and I can also help you pick up your spirit armor and weapons before the battle day,”

Agnes added, trying to convince Alec of her value.

Truth be told, despite blaming her for his stomach ache, Alec knew they needed someone with a lot of knowledge about the Blood Moon.

And there was no doubt that Agnes possessed that knowledge.

“You’re in,” Alec said with a defeated expression before collapsing onto the floor.
