Primordial Soul's Rebirth

It took a while for Max and Grace to convince Lily to believe that they were not laughing at her, rather they were laughing at Alex that he didn't know how good of a girl Lily was.

Lily didn't believe them at first, but she was a child after all, her mentality getting stronger and letting her adapt didn't mean she became mature, so it didn't take much time to convince her.

By then the waiters came out with the dishes prepared with them.

They brought along some trollies with them.

The trollies were around the size of a washing machine, but what they had inside were some small cakes or pastries.

But no one found it strange as that was how they served in this café.

"Please try them all, they are said to be the best cakes and pastries you can find in the world."

It was not something new and Alice, Alex, and Ann also knew that but Max still informed them, doing his job as a good host.

"Thank you," Alice spoke as she picked up the spoon and took a bite of the pastry that was placed in front of her.

"Hm!" Her eyes brightened as she tasted it.

It was sweet, but not too sweet, it was soft as cotton, but hard where it needed to be.

It just felt perfect to her, like there could be nothing better than that.

'Oh?' Alex raised his brow as he saw Alice's exaggerated expression, and so did Ann.

Both Ann and Alex took a bite out of their plates as well, and unsurprisingly, they were surprised as well.

Alex's reaction was not much, but Ann was just like Alice as she quickly scooped another bite of the pastry.

Max noticed Alex's mellow reaction which caused him to ask.

"Mister Matthew, do you not like-" But his words were cut short as Alex spoke before Max could complete his words.

"You know, being called mister by an old man makes me feel old as well," Alex spoke without even looking at Max.

There was a short silence, no sound could be heard, and even Alice and Ann looked at Alex a bit dumbfoundedly.

Grace was shocked as well, and so was Lily, but the next second both Grace and Lily exchanged glances before.

"Hehehehe."

"Hahahahaha."

Melodious laughter from both Lily and Grace rang out, making everyone else smile as well.

The still atmosphere turned jovial in a second.

Max looked at Grace and Lily, but he didn't say anything and just snorted.

He then turned toward Alex and smirked.

"What would you like to be called then? Prince? Hero? The seductive raider?"

The atmosphere stilled again, and this time it was broken by Alice and Ann's laughter.

"Hahahaha." X2

Both of them laughed with hands on their stomach as this is the thing they use to tease Alex as well.

"I would've been happy if the one saying that was a beauty like Ms. Steele, instead of an old man like you, and to answer your question, I would rather have you call me Alex."

Alex replied casually without much change in his expression as he bit on another piece of the pastry.

Alex was using a tactic that worked well on humans psychologically.

If you don't show a hint of frustration or reaction to your opponent's taunts, then the opponent would automatically think that they lost.

There would only be two paths after that, either step back, or take a step forward, but taking a step forward would mean asking for serious trouble, which Alex could tell that Max didn't want.

"All right then Alex, do you not like the taste of the food here?" Just as expected, Max took a step back, he didn't invite Alex to fight him, Alex was his family's savior, after all.

The ears of the staff nearby also perked up as they heard that question.

But they just smiled confidently as they had never heard someone say that their dishes were not tasty, and just they had expected…...

"No, it is tasty, I won't deny that, it is better than any pastry I have eaten till now," Alex replied to Max, causing the staff members in the surroundings to raise their noses high.

But Alex wasn't done yet.

"But I can tell that it can still be improved," As Alex's words fell, the noses of the waiters that were raised up in the sky, were now scrunched up.

But they knew their limit, so they didn't say anything, they just exchanged glances and nodded to each other before one of them moved toward the main kitchen where the head chef was making the dishes.

Alex could guess what was going to happen, but he couldn't care less about them, while Max who heard Alex's words looked at Alex dubiously.

He knew that Alex was a strong raider and most probably the most handsome man in the world, but that didn't mean that he could just say that the dish that is considered the top dish all over the world was not good.

"What? You don't believe me?" Alex looked up at Max and asked.

Max opened his mouth to say something but….

"Forget it, it's up to you to believe it or not, I just gave my honest opinion."

Alex continued with a shrug.

Max looked at Alex, unsure what to say now, but maybe he was lucky since Alice spoke.

"He is actually a very good cook, for your information," Alice voiced out as she looked at Max.

"Really?" Now Max was a bit interested.

'Maybe he does know cooking….' Max mused inwardly.

"You won't believe it, but if you were to eat this guy's hand-made food, you wouldn't like something else," Alice spoke with a nod.

"Oh? I would love to have a taste," Max spoke as he looked at Alex, but Alex completely ignored him as he was now looking toward the main kitchen's gate.

"If I were to say then he can probably make this same pastry better than it is," Alice continued as she looked at Alex, but then everyone noticed Alex looking at the gate of the main kitchen.

Both Alice and Ann exchanged looks before they sighed, they could somehow tell that trouble was coming.

'Why can't we have a single normal day!' They exclaimed inwardly.

"Are you going to cook?" Max, however, didn't know that so he simply asked as he saw Alex looking toward the main kitchen.

It was a normal conclusion anyone would come to if they saw someone looking toward the kitchen when the topic being discussed at that moment was about the said person's cooking skill.

'Well, I don't think Damien would mind if Alex uses his kitchen,' Max thought inwardly.

"Not really…." Alex spoke causing Max to turn confused.

But before Max could ask something, the gate of the main kitchen was opened and a voice was heard.

"Pardon my intrusion."
