A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

were much higher, and the winner would be inheriting an entire empire rather than a family.
It was a pity that he didn’t have any brothers in his past life with whom he could battle for the family inheritance.
In the end, he inherited several tens of billions of dollars without any competition, and it felt rather anticlimactic.

Mag turned his attention to the two princes, who were both drenched with sweat and chugging down ice water, and his mood was lifted significantly.

Josh forced a smile onto his face as he met Mag’s gaze.
Even though he was still suffering quite a bit, the good news was that Sean was suffering just as much.
Most importantly, the king had been very happy with Mag’s dishes, and that further boosted his chances of inheriting the throne.

Mag gave a rather apologetic smile in response, but there was not a single hint of apology in his heart.

As for Sean’s furious and resentful gaze, Mag completely ignored it.

That’s what you get for trying to assassinate me! This is just the beginning.
According to the system’s warning, anything above three times insanely spicy results in a qualitative change.
You can say goodbye to your as*holes!

The attendant led Mag to the center of the palace before respectfully backing away.

Mag composed his expression before extending a respectful bow toward the king, “Mag pays his respects to His Majesty.”

The king was also rather surprised to see how young Mag was, but he didn’t let it show as he raised a hand, and said, “You may rise, Chef Mag.
I didn’t think a man as young as you would be able to cook such delicious dishes.”

Mag stood up straight again and adopted a modest expression as he replied, “Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty.
I’m still sorely lacking in experience compared to many of my senior peers.
I am really honored to receive such a prestigious accolade.”

Compared to Alex’s memory of the king three years ago, Andre seemed to have aged significantly.
His inky black hair had turned completely gray, and there were many more wrinkles on his face.

However, he was still exuding an air of undeniable regal majesty as he sat atop his throne.

He was like an elderly lion king; even though he was past his prime, he could still guard his own territory if challenged.

Mag wasn’t sure about whether he had played a hand in the incident from three years ago.
However, at the very least, he had covered up for the two princes, so he was guilty of involvement by association at a minimum.

The king shook his head with a smile, and said, “Even though you’re indeed quite young, you have well and truly reached the pinnacle of the culinary arts.
All three of your dishes were simply exceptional, so there’s no need for you to be overly modest.”

Mag withdrew his gaze in a respectful manner as he said, “You’re far too kind, Your Majesty.”

Josh put down his jug of ice water; the scorching sensation in his throat had already abated slightly.
He adjusted his robes slightly before smiling as he said, “Father, Chef Mag’s cooking skills are by far the best in Chaos City, and he had defeated the incumbent number one chef of Chaos City at the time prior to coming to Rodu.
The fact that you have decided to award his grilled fish as the best dish of the day is further testament to his exemplary cooking skills.”

“I can tell you put a lot of effort into finding such an exceptional chef, Josh.” The king nodded before turning to Mag as he said, “Chef Mag’s cooking skills are the best I’ve ever seen, and he is very deserving of the best dish award.
I’ve decided to reward him with 1,000 dragon coins and to instate him as the head chef of the royal kitchen with immediate effect.”

All of the officials in the palace burst into an uproar upon hearing this.

Mag lowered his head in apology, and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.
Unfortunately, I already own a restaurant in Chaos City, so I won’t be able to remain in the royal palace.
As such, I must refuse this reward.”
