Chapter 1011 Surprising The Contest Judge With Modern Earth''s Food! -----
"If what?" Greenwood asked. "Do I have to remind you that you were DESIGNED to work for me? You''re merely a byproduct of my own research. If you must sacrifice your lives for my projects and the greater cause, so be it! You''re all working for the great Oberon, show some respect!"
"Y-Yes, Master. I apologize for my selfishness…" The elf lowered his head.
"Hmph, scram. And the next time you call me, you better have something good to report." Greenwood''s sharp green eyes red at the elf in front of him, as he nodded and then stopped the call.
Greenwood looked at his left side, as he saw several small droids moving around, constructing a humanoid body in front of him, a powerful, stronger, and more reinforced one than any other before.
"Hmm, the next prototype might soon end its creation process." He said with a smile. "That dragon… I shall take him down personally if necessary. I cannot miss acquiring the ability of Immortality, if that''s what he truly possess… Chaos, Immortality… thest two pieces I need for Oberon''s mastern to be aplished…"
Greenwood was merely a fragment of Oberon, but it was also the one that inherited his will the best, and most of his cold and calctive personality, which made of Greenwood the most effective of all of Oberon''s Soul Fragments. Obviously, he wanted his original true self''s ns to seed.
"This Alliance with the Venerable of Blood might be necessary to aplish further goals, but I don''t mind it for now…" He said. "I am sure Oberon would had done the same, after all, I am a part of him."

(Drake''s POV)N?v(el)B\\jnn
Eustace (which second name was actually Gustav), the wild boar beast-kin, and Guild Master of the Chef Guild appeared right in front of me! He had already rushed all the way here after tasting the delicious food those suspicious Elves were serving and now he hase to see me.
"Drake! I am d to see your business is going well, I havee to personally taste your dishes once more!" He said.
The moment of truth hase… after he''s done with this, there''ll be some more time for all of us to sell as much as possible and then a final contest where we''ll battle with everything we''ve got to convince the judges. I''ve never felt so nervous in my life in a nonbat scenario aside from when Bedra was born!
I believe that this is thest step before I go to the veryst stages of the Competition. I really want to leave this ce with a smile in my face as I get all the reward prizes I want. If possible, I want to see my daughters seeing their father win something.
"Wee Eustace!" I said, quickly offering him a drink of the beer I had brought exclusively for this, the beer that I drankst night with the Dragons inside the Draconic Records. "Have this beer to start with, I call it Dragon Beer."
"Dragon Beer?" Wondered Eustace, giving it a sip, his eyes opened wide in shock. "T-This incredibly rich taste! And are these bubbles?! There are bubbles inside of my mouth!"
"The beer has carbonated water, it has bubbles and feels just nice when you drink it, right?" I asked, as Eustace nodded. "Now, let''s start the dishes! Bedann, can you help me?"
"Sure dear. Hello, are you the guild master of the chef guild?" Asked Bedann, bringing a te full of fried treats.
"Y-Yeah, are you an acquainted of him?" He wondered.
"I am his wife. Those two girls are Drake''s daughters. And those two are my parents, all the family''s here." Said Bedann. "Here, Drake has prepared some of his products in here. Fried Tempura Shrimps, Fried Flying Squid Rings, Curry Buns, and many other things. They all go perfectly well with Beer." Bedann said with a smile, as the wild boar-faced man began to snack on everything.
"Oooh! This is certainly surprising, what a beautiful sight to see an entire family working together here." Said Eustace, as he quickly decided to begin eating.
He tasted everything as his eyes grew wider each time he ate something new,bining it with the carbonated beer really made the wild boar man grow insane over the vors and tastes.
"I-I''ve never eaten such delicious food before- Ah well, thatst stand was just as good but these are all new things, I am getting surprised each time! These buns are especially good, they got that curry he served me back then!" Eustace ended eating everything in the menu several times until he looked to be finally done.
"Hahh… I am done for now. Everything was stupendous." He said, quickly walking towards me. "Here."
He suddenly gave me a golden card.
"You pass to the next stage easily, sir Drake!" He said with a smile, giving me a handshake. "I hope you surprise us everyone at the finals! Good luck!"
He quickly ran off into another food post, quickly beginning to taste something new. Did this guy had an endless pit of a stomach or something? Like seriously…
"Well, we got it!" I said, celebrating as I raised the golden card.
"Woo! Papa''s besht!" Said Bedra, snacking on fried shrimps.
"Wawa besh…" Said Kate, trying to imitate her big sister.
"Well done Drake!" Bedann''s mother said.
"You worked so hard that you deserve it." Her father said.
"Nice, that was already a given though." Laughed Miranda.
"Yeah, I could see it miles away." Bedann celebrated.
"So when are the finals starting?" Asked Miranda.
"In about two hours from now?" I said, looking at the clock of the town. "Yeah, two hours from now. For now we need to continue selling if possible to make as much profit as we can, each cent will go into the chances of winning, so we have not won this yet! Alright family, let''s do our best!"
"YEEAAH!"
With my family, we all cheered together as we continued working, cooking, selling, and taking small breaks as everyone took turns into working in certain things.
Like this, time went by, as an hour and a half passed in almost an instant.
