Chapter 2002 - I Am Going To Be Killed By Its Cuteness!

Irina's disguise magic was excellent. She successfully turned a roly-poly fat orange cat into a roly-poly panda cub.

With the black fur and two black eye circles, other than having a smaller head, it looked exactly like a panda.

"Wow. It's so cute." Amy carried the dazed Ugly Duckling with an ecstatic expression.

Mag looked at the shocked Ugly Duckling, and smilingly lamented, "A hairstyle can indeed change a person's fate."

Right now, the persona of a young man opening a tavern with his beautiful wife, two beautiful daughters, and a roly-poly pet panda cub was established.

"Alright, let's go," Mag smilingly said. He got up, and was ready to leave.

"Aren't you going to open the tavern?"

"Father, are you coming with us too?"

Irina, Amy, and Annie were looking at Mag perplexedly.

"Hmm???" Mag looked at the three of them, and pondered for a moment before he suddenly realized what they meant. "So you guys didn't include me when you said you wanted to go shopping?"

As a tough man, Mag suddenly felt a little hurt…

"The tavern is different from the restaurant. No one will come and drink in the morning. The tavern usually only operates at night," Mag explained the difference between operating a restaurant and a tavern to his three precious.

"Furthermore, we have only bought this tavern for one day. If we open for business the next morning, people will have doubts once they step in."

It was already considered fast to complete the renovation of a normal tavern within two weeks. It would easily arouse suspicion if Saipan Tavern completely changed its furnishings overnight.

"Alright. Then, you will be allowed to go shopping with us." Irina nodded.

"Should I cheer happily?" Mag cocked his eyebrow a little, but he was still rather happy.

The family of four put on their jackets and went out.

"Woah. Look at him. He bought half of the street yesterday, and moved in last night. Rich people's thoughts are really unfathomable."

"Wow, his wife is so beautiful!"

"Wow. Are those two his daughters? They're so adorable!"

"What's that black and white roly-poly pet? It looks so cute!"

The neighbors, who were sunning themselves and chatting at the doors, came out to look at Mag and his family, and commented on them enviously. They were all shocked by this family of four and their pet's great looks.

A noodle shop's boss laughingly said, "I thought Mr. Hades was rather handsome yesterday. Looking at them now, he's, without a doubt, the ugliest in his family."

Eiffie slowly backed out in the crowd. She hid herself behind the restaurant's boss's fat body, and blushed slightly.

Last night's events kept replaying in a loop in her mind after she woke up from her drunken state today. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she was. After seeing the family of four, she even wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide away.

"Good morning." Mag greeted all of them courteously. They were neighbors, after all. They still had to get along for the next one month.

Moreover, he had bought half of Romo Street. The value of this street had to be propped up by these neighbors.

"Good morning, Mr. Hades."

"What a cute little girl."

"Are you all going shopping?"

The neighbors all reciprocated since Mag took the initiative to greet them.

Ugly Duckling lay in Amy's arms, and coldly looked at those stupid humans who were trying to play with it like a king without any emotion.

Amy pinched its round face, and ordered, "Come, give us a smile."

~o(=∩ω∩=)m

Ugly Duckling was forced to put on an act.

"Woah. So adorable… I am going to be killed by its cuteness."

"What pet is this? I want to have one too."

"Roly-poly and soft. It must feel great to cuddle it when sleeping at night."

The little maidens were instantly mesmerized by Ugly Duckling, and they were all asking about its information.

This is a national treasure. Do you think you can keep it as a pet? Mag chuckled inwardly. He didn't know if pandas existed in this world, so he couldn't give a definite answer. He only said that he bought it from a hunter, and had no idea what it was, either.

After a brief interaction with the neighbors, Mag and his family quickly left.

"What a rich and happy family. I am so envious."

"Yes. But why is such a rich family coming to the deserted Romo Street to open a tavern?"

"We can never understand what the rich people are thinking."

The neighbors watched Mag and his family go away. Their topic of conversation was still their new neighbor.

The fat boss turned around to Eiffie, who was standing behind him, with concern, and asked, "Lady Boss Eiffie, you don't look very well?"

"Ah, I might have drank too much yesterday. I'm fine now." Eiffie lowered her head, lit up a cigarette, and took a deep puff. She blew a circle of smoke as she looked at the sky far away in a daze.

"Drink less and take care of your body," the fat boss said.

"Business is bad. If I don't drink with those customers, they won't come again." Eiffie sighed.

"Customers can only be seen at Titan Tavern on Romo Street now. Boss Eiffie has good business methods, and holds her drink well. I have never heard that anyone defeated you when it comes to drinking." The noodle shop boss looked at Eiffie with admiration.

"Won't those men get themselves a good deal if I get drunk?" Eiffie laughed in a self-mocking way.

Everyone changed the topic after hearing that. Eiffie had indeed supported Titan Tavern's business all by herself. However, the neighbors couldn't make themselves say that Eiffie was an indecent woman when they knew she wasn't.

Romo Street was in Rodu's city center. At the end of the street were all the offices of the court's agencies. However, because of this, there weren't many residential areas around, and the shops here were mainly running their businesses with the court officials in mind.

"That's the Ministry of Defense. Its defense has been heightened after that incident happened." Mag used his gaze to indicate the row of cottages at the opposite side diagonally.

"If you were him, whom would you choose as your next target?" Irina asked Mag.

After pondering for a brief moment, Mag replied, "A completely random target can create even more panic, and give the opponent no way to investigate."

"I hope he isn't thinking like that." Irina frowned.

"He has two brains now, so it isn't hard to think about that." Mag shook his head slightly.

Amy tilted her head, and curiously asked, "Father, are you guys talking about which restaurant we are going to have lunch at this afternoon?"

"Yes, but we just had breakfast, so let's walk around for a while before we decide about lunch," Mag said with a smile.

"Hmm, alrighty." Amy nodded obediently.

Mag reached out to hail a horse-drawn carriage. The family of four hopped on, and headed straight for Rodu's busiest commercial center, Tuck Square.

Tuck Square was Rodu's biggest square.. All kinds of big and small merchants gathered here, and all the snacks here were famous too.
