Chapter 582 Gourmet Chips

The silver-crimson moon's crimson hue was starting to fade away, marking the beginning of a new day in the continent.

The City Hall was full with the guests from all over the world.

There was a livestream happening of the banquet, apparently the vampires had allowed it this time and everyone was surprised knowing it — the vampires included.

The Vampire Royal Clan always kept things regarding them a secret, hardly anything was ever revealed to the general public.

It was so well kept that even most of the Vampire Nobles didn't know things about their Queen, Princess, or the Prince.

But this time, it was different.

The Vampire Royal Clan didn't hand out any SOPs regarding the current event and the people from the news channels were just there, doing their thing, and weren't kicked out as people had expected.

The reason for this was that almost all higher ups from all races were coming to this event and since the majority would know about it anyway, why not just make it so that not just the majority, but everyone knows about it.

Hence the live streams were happening and the whole world was watching this event with great interest.

Billions of people had joined it already with tens of thousands joining every second and watching.

The higher ups from different races were made to walk on the red carpet of the City Hall before entering and were interviewed. The world loved watching every second of it as this was something that hasn't happened before.

The powerhouses of Half Emperor Ranks and below walked the red carpet and the Emperor Ranks and above were given a choice to enter through a different entrance where there weren't cameras or walk the red carpet like everyone else.

Some Emperor Rank powerhouses, mainly the ones from the Human and Dragon Race chose to walk the red carpet while the rest entered through the entrance where there weren't any cameras.

The City Hall was now jam-packed with authorities from all over the world and everyone in there was waiting for the curtains to unfold and the event to begin.

The City Hall had a rectangular hall, big enough to host a ball of ten thousand people at once. At the end of the hall was a raised platform, having a mighty throne resting on it.

There were balconies present in this hall, reserved for the most higher ranked authorities of the different races and at the extreme end of the hall, opposite to the throne, was a smaller yet more secretive balcony, reserved for members related to Clan Evure.

The nobles… being nobles, started having small talk together with people from the different races and their chatter wiped out the silence from the City Hall.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, in one secluded region of the many balconies present, there were ten chairs around a round table, but currently only seven were occupied.

The seven people were the seven Supreme Ranks of the main races.

Starting with Alex, the handsome blonde-haired man being the King of Angels, beside him was his granddaughter, Lucifer, the devilish black-haired beauty, and following her was Mayzin, the purple-eyed beauty.

Beside Mayzin was a gap of three chairs and at the end of them sat Florencia, the Queen Mother of Witches, donning a black pointy hat and covering her face with a veil. After her were Anderson the Werewolf King, Daggasi the Dragon Emperor, and Darren the Human Ancestor respectively.

The atmosphere seemed grim around the round table as everyone had a serious mood and hardly anyone talked.

Except of course…

"Mayzin-chan, your—"

Thwack!

"Ow."

Lucifer didn't even open her mouth when she got a hand chop from Mayzin on her head.

Mayzin ensured that there were spell cast on her hand so that it would pain Lucifer slightly and she would shut up.

"Stop talking. There's an event going on, focus on that." Mayzin said with a serious expression.

There were other Supreme Ranks here and although they were well aware of the relationship of Lucifer, Mayzin, Agalea, and Lilith, it wasn't the right time for Lucifer to be informal and do some casual talks.

Lucifer knitted her brows after getting hit. She was about to argue with Mayzin on this but then she heard a gentle voice from the side saying:

"My dear, you should focus on the event that your friend has hosted with much effort." Alex, her grandfather, having his eyes closed and sitting in an upright manner, said calmly.

Lucifer, with knitted brows and an annoyed expression, turned to look at him and said, "Old man, whose side are you on? I am your granddaughter, take my side. Not that bi—"

Thwack!

Lucifer got another head chop by Mayzin and was interrupted.

Alex didn't comment anything more on it and stayed silent while Lucifer was starting to get very annoyed.

Being told to stay quiet was the biggest problem for Lucifer who was a social butterfly that couldn't stop talking unless she was busy watching anime or masturbating.

Being so annoyed, she was about to duke it out with Mayzin when she heard the sound of a bag of chips being tossed.

Lucifer quickly turned around, only to see Mayzin holding a bag of chips and shaking it.

Mayzin gave it to Lucifer without her asking and said, "Keep quiet. It is an important event."

At first, Lucifer thought to herself, 'Does she think I am a dog that'll do anything for treats? This bitch— oh wait, is that…'

Lucifer narrowed her eyes and looked at the bag of chips. Having a good look at it, both her eyebrows raised in surprise and she thought,

'Is that… Is THAT THE DAMN FRIED ANAHA CRAB RICE FLAVOURED CHIPS!?'

Lucifer immediately grabbed it from Mayzin and opened it to have a taste of the chip.

Just as she had a bite of a single chip, Lucifer felt an amazing crunch from it and after that happened, the chip started melting on her tongue and spread the flavour of it all around her palate.

Fried Anaha Crab Rice chips were made from the Anaha Crab that was tossed with rice, veggies, and meat in a wok and then turned into a chip.

It was a secret recipe and this crab was a very rare species to find around the world. There weren't many such chips packets made and even the ones that were made, they cost a whopping ten low grade magic stones.

For comparison, one low grade magic stone was equivalent to a hundred million dollars from Lith's previous world and ten low grade magic stones could run a small town in this world for ten years straight.

It cost so much money and was a luxurious gourmet item that hardly anyone would ever buy.

Since not many bought it, chips were made in a minimal quantity each year and thus it was really difficult to get hands on one of these.

The chips contained what Lucifer loved the most — Flavour.

As soon as she took a bite of it, the juices from the crab meat's fat oozed out of the chip, and then sauces used in the fried rice appeared one by one followed by an intense flavour of the crab meat, which then got suppressed by the mild flavour of the rice in the chip.

Such flavour could only be understood by a gourmet and around the table, there was only one such person, Lucifer herself.

Mayzin had bought some packets of chips as Lucifer had mentioned about it before to her and ranted on how the stupid company didn't make more of it and she can't get hold of it.

Lucifer that day decided to go on a crusade to find the chips maker but then cancelled the plans as a new anime from one of her favourite manga series was airing that day.

Mayzin had forgotten about this a few years down the line but she remembered it again when one of her assistants mentioned that those chip makers were from one of the Dragon tribes itself.

Mayzin thus bought a stock of it and kept it with herself a few years back.

Before coming to the event, she bought some packets with her just in case a stupid otaku neet decided to bother her.

The chips were a good way to make the stupid otaku shut up and Lucifer, who knew the value of the chips and how rare they were, ate it chip by chip and in a calm manner so that it wasn't finished soon.

The serious atmosphere once again ensued around the round table as no one spoke, but some crunching noises could be heard from time to time that broke the silence and bothered the Supremes present.

A few minutes passed in this awkward atmosphere and soon, everyone around the round table heard the sound of light footsteps coming close to them.

.comno/v//el/bin[./]net'

The sound was starting to become intense and turning to look at the source, they saw a faint figure of someone walking towards them.

Soon…

"Lu-ci-fer~"

"Hiiiiii!"
