Chapter 1238 [Eccentricity]
1238
The city of Palermo, Sicily, has entered the night.
Although the Colosseum on the sea was brightly lit, it was deserted and empty.
The first day of the competition has ended without much suspense. All the powerful mercenaries in the past have successfully advanced. Tomorrow will be the serious competition.
On a large open-air balcony outside the Cassano Hotel, a middle-aged man wearing a white chef's uniform and a chef's hat, using the blade in his hand to quickly slice the salmon on the chopping board without a smile.
Each piece of salmon is like being cut by a machine, and the degree of neatness is jaw-dropping, just the thickness that can slowly disintegrate and melt in the mouth.
The two hotel maids delivered the ready-made seafood meals to a long table not far away one after another.
At the long table, Christine held up the champagne in her hand and clinked glasses with Qiangwei who was closest.
After the crisp sound, the two women smiled tacitly and drank the champagne in one gulp.
The faces of the two women were already slightly flushed. It was obvious that they drank a lot of alcohol before the dishes were served.
"Aphrodite, you don't look worried at all, you really enjoyed your drink." Ares, who was opposite, leaned lazily on the chair, with a disdainful expression on his face.
"Why not, I'm here, but I have the idea of a vacation," Christine said indifferently.
As she spoke, Christine turned around and shouted to the chef over there: "Poseidon, haven't you finished yet? I can't wait to start."
Sea God who is a chef by profession frowned and raised his head, "Don't touch the food until I'm done, otherwise no one will eat it."
Christine could only shrug her shoulders and turn away bored.
Cai Ning, who was on the side, had been staring at Poseidon's cooking for a long time, but she never imagined that Poseidon is a retired navy and a chef in a restaurant in Hawaii at the same time.
Seeing Poseidon cooking seriously is really shocking.
"Miss Christine, why do you have to wait for him to finish cooking before eating?" Cai Ning couldn't help asking curiously.
"Let me answer you," Alice pouted impatiently, "Poseidon is very serious about meals, as long as he wants to seriously cook a table of delicious food, he has to wait for him All the dishes are served, and only after finishing one of his 'works' can he start eating, otherwise he will feel that it is not perfect."
"Simply put, he's paranoid about cooking, a perfectionist paranoid chef," Stern teased and winked.
Cai Ning and Qiangwei couldn't help laughing when they heard this. These guys have lived for tens of thousands of years, so they should be antiques, but no matter how you look at them, they are a group of eccentric and cynical urchins.
But if you think about it from another angle, it is actually not difficult to understand. After all, the years are too long. If the gods don't find some things to pass the time and cultivate various interests, I am afraid that there will be no desire to survive, and the previous Hades will not be the only one.
After another ten minutes of waiting, Poseidon finally finished the remaining sashimi platter and put it on the long table. The whole seafood dinner looked colorful and very attractive.
Poseidon even deliberately took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the food on the table, with a rather smug expression on his face.
After the other main gods taunted and ridiculed for a while, Poseidon sat down, motioned for everyone to start, and asked all the other waiters to back down.
This dinner was initiated by Christine in the afternoon. Although there were many grievances and hatreds among the gods, the open and secret struggles never ceased.
But in the final analysis, they are still of the same clan, old friends, it is rare to get together, and it is reasonable to have a meal together.
Cai Ning and Qiangwei were able to participate partly because of Yang Chen's relationship, and partly because the gods affirmed their strength.
After all, they are all people who have fought against the Huaxia monks, and they can still clearly feel the "hating" aura of the second daughter.
"Hermes, you are already on the island, so you can't take off your black suit? Don't you think this look is inappropriate?" Christine was drunk and pointed at the opposite Raphael said.
Raphael gracefully picked up the white napkin and wiped his mouth, "Don't worry, the vampires don't have body temperature."
"Who cares if you're hot or not? Besides, you just need to suck blood, so why eat like us."
Raphael chuckled, "This is an affirmation of Poseidon's craftsmanship."
"You don't need to be sure, it's perfect," Poseidon boasted slowly.
Qiangwei and Cai Ning looked at each other, these guys were not only weird, but also very thick-skinned.
Ares's gobbling made the food in front of him disappear very quickly. After eating almost, the long-haired god of war stood up and walked out of the balcony.
"Ares, where are you going?" Stern asked with a frown.
"Do you still want to ask?" Ares turned his head.
"Now is not the time to go find them. What do you think you can do to them?"
Ares sneered, "I don't have time to eat here with you until midnight, and I'm not interested in watching the entire human mercenary conference. I'm here to fight with them."
"Hey, brother, do you want to be put into reincarnation?" Hermes teased.
"So what, if you don't fight, how will you know if it will work?" Ares said disdainfully: "I'm not interested in their conspiracy and tricks at all. If you don't dare to go, I dare!"
Stern, Christine and others all frowned at this guy's one-sidedness, which was simply unreasonable.
At this moment, when everyone noticed something, they all looked towards the sky in the north, and Cai Ning and Qiangwei both showed joy.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Chen's figure landed on the wooden board of the balcony, holding a big boxy box wrapped in blue silk cloth in his hand.
"Damn Hades, you're finally back, I thought you were scared and ran away!" Christine giggled.
Yang Chen clicked "tsk", and glanced at everyone present, "The crowd came quite neatly. When I wasn't here, nothing should have happened. I'm sorry, I was delayed because I went to Wales. "
Since Jane had to rush back to Wales to participate in the New Year's celebration, Yang Chen also sent the woman back to the palace of Wales.
Although Jane was very reluctant, she still missed her dishonest mother, Catherine, and told Yang Chen to look for him as soon as the New Year's activities were over.
Yang Chen inevitably had to meet and chat with Catherine, so he didn't rush back to Sicily until nightfall.
"Not for the time being, but I don't know if there will be any after this product is delivered to death." Stern pouted at Ares.
Yang Chen was a little confused, but he still walked to Qiangwei and Cai Ning first, and handed the big box in his hand to Cai Ning.
"Here, Ning'er, this is a gift I specially brought back for you," Yang Chen cheerfully said.
Cai Ning was a little dazed, and after taking it slowly, she blinked, "A gift? Didn't you go to find Princess Jane, how could..."
"Jane is already safe, this gift is my apology for not being able to accompany you to a complete dinner, you can't blame me if you take it," Yang Chen said.
"I didn't blame you at all," Cai Ning looked at the box with a smile, "What's in it?"
Yang Chen pretended to be closed, "Don't disassemble it now, wait until the next time you return to the room to see."
Cai Ning happily said "Yes", she didn't expect that Yang Chen would go out to save other women and still want to buy a gift for herself, she couldn't help lowering her head shyly, hoping that the dinner would be over soon.
"Honey, you're so biased, why did you bring a gift to Ning'er!" Qiangwei pinched the soft flesh around Yang Chen's waist angrily.
Yang Chen shook Qiangwei's plain hand embarrassingly, "Next time, I will buy it for you next time, mainly when I find this gift, it will be just this one."
"real?"
"Of course, how could I lie to you, Baby Rose?" Yang Chen hurriedly kissed the woman's face.
Qiangwei didn't take it too seriously. Hearing what Yang Chen said, she smiled happily again, but she was more curious about what Cai Ning took.
After delivering the presents, Yang Chen asked what happened, and Christine also briefly explained the identity of the giant and the fact that Ares was going to find them.
After listening to it, Yang Chen couldn't help feeling that he had to make up for the history of some gods, but he didn't expect that the giant clan really existed.
Just like other main gods, Yang Chen couldn't think of why these guys wanted to participate in the Caesar Conference, and whether there was any conspiracy behind them.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen said directly to Ares: "I advise you not to go, I simply fought with one of them, although I don't know their real strength, but I know that even one of them will not go if you go. Can't beat it."
