"Lexon... that move of yours just now really gave me a cold sweat..." Soma Yukihira said to Lexon with lingering fear after Yaeko Minegasaki and the others had left.
The young man was truly a bit afraid that something bloody would happen in his own restaurant.
"It was just a scare," Lexon said with a smile.
"But still, thank you, Lexon," Soma Yukihira said to Lexon sincerely.
He understood that Lexon's actions just now were for his sake, to suppress the other party's momentum.
For someone he had just met to stand up for him without fearing the burly bodyguards behind the other party, Soma Yukihira was still very moved.
"No need for thanks, no need for thanks." 'Appropriately increasing your favorability is also to prepare for signing in with you, or even your father.'
Of course, the latter sentence was not spoken aloud.
"By the way, where did your father go?" Lexon asked Soma Yukihira.
'If I can prioritize signing in with Joichiro Yukihira, that would naturally be better.'
After all, the cooking levels of this father and son were not on the same level at all right now.
"I don't know what he's up to either. He seemed to run out after getting a phone call," Soma Yukihira responded.
"Oh, I see."
'It's a bit different from the original plot... in the original story, Joichiro Yukihira should have been in the shop when Yaeko Minegasaki was provoking them here.'
'Is it the butterfly effect brought by the Reincarnators...'
Thoughts flowed through Lexon's mind.
"Are you looking for my father for something, Lexon?" Soma Yukihira asked with some confusion.
"You should be able to tell that I'm not a chef," Lexon said to Soma Yukihira.
"Yeah." Soma Yukihira nodded.
He indeed couldn't tell at all that the other party was a chef.
"So, in order to improve my cooking skills, I want to learn a bit from your father, Joichiro Yukihira," Lexon made up a random excuse.
'As long as I can get in touch with him, it doesn't matter.'
"Is that so? But my father doesn't seem to take students..." Soma Yukihira replied.
"I don't want to be a student, I just want to try Mr. Joichiro Yukihira's culinary skills." Lexon said gently.
"Then just come tomorrow. If my father comes back, I'll tell him to wait for you for a bit," Soma Yukihira said.
"Okay." Lexon nodded in response. "Then I'll head out for today."
With those words, he got up and walked out.
"See you tomorrow," Soma Yukihira waved to him.
"Goodbye," Lexon replied with a smile.
After Lexon left, Soma Yukihira cleaned up the shop a bit, then closed the door and went home to sleep.
When all the lights in Restaurant Yukihira were extinguished and the shutter doors were tightly closed...
A few familiar figures appeared in front of Restaurant Yukihira.
It was Yaeko Minegasaki and the others who had just left.
"Splash paint on the sign, then pick the lock and ruin all the ingredients inside," Yaeko Minegasaki took off her glasses and said in a sinister voice.
"Understood," a bodyguard behind her opened a paint bucket he was carrying and replied.
"How dare they oppose us... they have no idea how many similar restaurants we've brought down... and that lunatic..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but think of the guy from earlier who looked gentle and handsome but suddenly pointed long chopsticks straight at her eyes. She felt even more furious.
Clearly a guy who looked so good... yet his mind wasn't quite normal.
"I'll let this father and son duo from the Yukihira family know the consequences of opposing us!"
Her voice couldn't help but become louder.
Fortunately, it was the dead of night when everyone was asleep.
Otherwise, who knows how many people would have discovered this move.
"It's late at night, keep it down."
Suddenly, Yaeko Minegasaki heard a somewhat familiar voice.
'Who?'
She couldn't help but look over and found a person standing in front of the shop next to Restaurant Yukihira.
The person standing there... was the very person who had just surfaced in her mind!
"Why are you still here!" Yaeko Minegasaki's tone was full of disbelief.
"Hmm... just a coincidence..." Lexon replied.
"Miss Minegasaki..." Several bodyguards stared at Lexon, seeking instructions from Yaeko Minegasaki.
"Go, give him a severe beating. It's fine if you cripple him, I'll take responsibility for whatever happens." This time, Yaeko Minegasaki did not stop the bodyguards. Instead, she commanded the burly bodyguards to go forward with a twisted expression.
She even said she would be responsible if he was crippled.
Since their plan to play dirty behind his back was discovered, they would just play dirty to his face!
This was also a method they used frequently.
Although it would be a bit more troublesome afterward... it was the most direct way.
After the beating, they could also use it to intimidate the Yukihira father and son, making them hand over the shop early to avoid physical suffering. After all, at most it would just cost some medical expenses.
There was no surveillance around here anyway...
Even if the other party identified them in the hospital, they could just say it was the independent action of the bodyguards.
There would be no problem at all...
"Argh!!!!"
A scream suddenly rang out from close range, and a burly figure flew backward, crashing into the ground while simultaneously interrupting Yaeko Minegasaki's thoughts.
'What happened...'
Yaeko Minegasaki looked blankly at the handsome 'pretty boy' opposite her. Although his body wasn't skinny, there was still a huge gap compared to the burly bodies of the bodyguards. Then she looked at the bodyguard lying on the ground, still screaming in pain, and her heart was filled with confusion.
'Just what on earth happened...'
"Violence is not good."
Yaeko Minegasaki just stared blankly as that gentle and handsome figure said those words while rushing into the group of bodyguards like a gust of wind.
For a time, it was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. The dull thuds of bodies hitting the walls and ground, accompanied by the sounds of bones breaking and screams of pain, rang out one after another.
It was constant.
"It's been a long time since I've felt like this," Lexon shook his hand and smiled after all the bodyguards had no strength left to get up.
He hadn't experienced this kind of fist-to-flesh fighting sensation in a long time.
'Actually, it hasn't been that long... it seems I fought the same way when I was beating Kaguya...'
'It was just like hitting a punching bag.'
