The Allen family’s driver dropped Karon and the others off at a gas station in the suburbs, and at Alfred’s urging, returned the car to the manor.0

There was a small convenience store and a fast-food shop near the gas station, and Karon chose one. Because he had a cat and a dog with him, he chose a corner seat.0

Four cups of coffee were brought over first. Pu’er leaned in and licked a sip, then stuck out her cat tongue in displeasure. Hmph, the taste of cheap instant coffee.0

Karon reached over and patted Pu’er on the head. “I don’t believe that while you were at the Immers house, Tiz brewed coffee for you.”0

Pu’er puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away. The young lady had just lived in her childhood home for a while and had enjoyed the high-standard treatment. Now she found it hard to go from luxury back to more mundane treatment.0

Soon, three different meals were served.0

The difference between this and a rice bowl with toppings was simply that the dishes were not placed on top of the rice. There was rice with pieces of fried chicken and a thick tomato sauce soup beside it.0

Alfred chose the same simple meal as Karon, while the golden retriever, Kevin, was given three big hamburgers with double meat patties added.0

As for Pu’er, she had an eel dish, which was the most expensive item on the menu.0

Yet she ate in misery. She was not deliberately picking at faults, even Karon could smell a fishy odor coming from the meal. It was likely that few people ordered the eel, which led to the ingredients not being fresh. It was even possible that the owner had forgotten how to cook the damned eel.0

Still, Karon thought his fried chicken was quite good. The rice smothered with the tomato soup tasted oddly sweet and sour, yet happened to neutralize the greasiness of the fried chicken. His thoughts might seem affected, but Karon truly felt the meal tasted much...0
