Plundering in the Apocalypse

"What is it, Celeste?"

"The people who wanted me to join. The logo of their organization is also a green snake."

Hearing this everyone was shocked.

"No way, that bastard made an organization." James was boiling in anger. He wanted to just rip that blonde.

Even Jenny's expression was dark.

'He was from Aston city.' Shin thought for a second and asked again.

"Are you certain Celeste?"

"Yeah, their logo was a green snake. I thought it was weird so it left an impression on me."

'Weird huh.' Now Shin was certain. It's the same organization.

'They have already started working in Aston city.'

'We have to deal with them. We can't let a threat grow under our noses.' Shin made his resolve to settle this matter.

"Alice, are you?" Shin asked in a hurried tone.

Without waiting for any elaboration Alice replied. "Yes, don't worry."

She was still keeping track of them.

Hearing that Shin smirked. "Guys, we will be pretty busy now."

James and Jenny looked at him with confused expressions. Celeste was still not sure about what was going on. But it was obvious that it was a serious matter.

"Shin care to tell me what is going on?" James asked, as he was angry his words sounded harsh. But nothing mattered. He just wanted to rip that bastard. Yes, James is a very vengeful person.

Shin started explaining. From how he met Celeste and her problem to how their target is a criminal organization.

They were shocked and speechless.

"So, we are tracking their location now. We will deal with them by tomorrow." Shin ended his explanation.

Everyone went silent.

A moment later Jenny spoke. "Thank you, Shin."

Shin smiled at her and replied. "Fret not, you are part of the guild after all."

James nodded his head and asked. "Is everyone going?" By this, he meant 'is everyone in the guild going with them.'

Shin shook his head as he replied. "I don't know. I'll tell them about this. After that, it's their own choice. I won't force anyone."

They nodded at his words. Sure enough, their boss was a good man.

"So, what's the plan?" James had calmed down a lot when he learned they were going to attack that organization.

"Wait a second." Celeste interrupted. "I can't take it anymore."

Shin showed a confused expression.

"What?"

"Don't 'What?' me." Her words were harsh but she didn't care.

"You are talking about dealing with a criminal organization. From what I heard from them they have over 300 members. How can you fight with them? Just report it to the Awakened Association. They can handle this matter." Celeste shouted at them so hard that she was out of breath.

*Haah*Haah*

"You know we are in a restaurant. Why are you shouting so much?" Alice said with an annoyed face.

Celeste showed a shocked and embarrassed expression. 'She is right, how can I be so careless and shout about such important matters?' She started sweating. She had shouted about criminal organizations. What if she created unnecessary trouble?

"I'm sorry." She immediately apologized to everyone in the restaurant.

"Don't worry about that and sit down. They can't hear you. Jenny here created a sound barrier around us." Shin said with a sigh. If the barrier was not there they might have gotten themselves in trouble if the news reached other nearby organizations. After all, there is more than one criminal organization in this city.

Celeste had another shock. This lady was so talented. Her ability was awesome.

"As for what you said. Reporting it to the Association is fine. But there won't be many results. Also, it's our grudge and we are more than capable to deal with it. Why should we go to the association?" Shin said with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"This world is not the same a before. We can't rely on others. Also, the Association is not clean either." Shin's last words made Celeste frown.

"What do you mean?"

"Leave it, it's not the time. We will deal with them on our own. Also, your friend is not in the Association currently. Do you still want to rely on them?" Shin stated.

"Um, I... Uh."

"Take your time and think about it. Also what Alice said before. You are welcome to join our guild. Don't worry even though you won't join. We will still help you."

Celeste couldn't utter any words regards to that. She could only nod her head in appreciation.

"Thank you."

"Okay then, we have wasted a lot of time," Shin said.

Everyone looked at him alarmed. He continued.

"Let's eat. The food is already a little cold."

He didn't say anything and started eating. Others sighed and started enjoying their time. Jenny removed the barrier. After that, it was just a normal chat. No serious matters. Celeste was also enjoying her time.

But Shin's mind was not quite in the conversation. After all, there was a reason he came to this restaurant.

'I should act now.'

Shin called over a waiter.

"Yes sir, how may I help you?"

"Can I meet the chef?" His words surprised the waiter as he nervously asked.

"Is there a problem with the food sir?"

"No No, the food is great. I want to meet the person who made such good food." Although Shin said that he didn't mean it. The food was tasty but his reaction was over the top. Maybe if he came a little later by a few months then he might have been surprised. After all by that time they had already introduced the monster cuisines.

The waiter's expression turned into a smile. He felt Shin was very sincere.

"Yes sir, I'll ask them. If it's okay." He immediately left to call the chef.

James and the others were confused by Shin's action. Yeah, the food was good but what does their boss want?

Well, they can only wait and see. After all, it must be for a reason.

***

Inside the kitchen.

All the chefs were busy making the orders.

"Order for table 4 is ready."

"Table 5 new order."

Suddenly the waiter came back smiling as he explained.

"The customer from table 1 is very satisfied. He wants to meet the cook."

"Head Chef, what should I do?" He asked a very young man.

The young man turned back in surprise. "Is that so? I'm happy they like my food."

This young man was Kevin Musk. He was the new owner of the restaurant and also the head chef. He had taken that positing recently after his father the previous owner retired.

"Let's meet them."

He was in somewhat trouble for some time. The business wasn't doing well. It was difficult for them to get fresh ingredients after the world changed. So the cost of it was very high. But they were still managing. If this goes on they will be in trouble.

So he was very happy when he heard that the customers were appreciating their food.

***

Shin saw the young man in chef's clothes approaching them.

'Is this Kevin Musk? The legendary Monster Chef.'

Shin couldn't help but be surprised. He was very young. Not much different from his age.

'Magic Eyes.'

[Kevin Musk]

[Level - 0 (Unawakened)]

[Age - 21]

[Potential Awakening A Rank]

[Trait - Strong-willed, Food maniac, and Passionate.]

'So he is yet to awaken.' Shin wasn't much surprised. After all, if he had awakened by this time he wouldn't be suppressed by Mark Corporation.

'I met him early. It's better to role him in. He is very important to the guild.'

Shin raised his hand and pretended to be surprised.

"Are you the chef? Your food was great. I didn't expect you to be the same age as me." Shin said in a very happy tone.

Kevin shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kevin Musk. I'm the head chef and also the owner of this restaurant."

"I'm Shin Wolner. Nice to meet you." Shin said. If this works he can get a strong ally.

"Would you be interested in a business deal?" Shin exclaimed raising Kevin's interest.
