"That's fine, as long as you don't make me your slave, I'll be alright with it," Dakota said while shoving her mouth with food, she could barely talk through the cl.u.s.ter of food in her mouth, it was a surprise that she had the ability to breathe still as well.
Marie and Valentina nodded, they brought out another paper doc.u.ment, it was something they made up swiftly, almost instantaneous; fortunately, a majority of the contract was already written out, they weren't changing any of the previous clauses, only adding a couple which only took a dozen or so seconds.
The two clauses were rather simple and can easily be simplified. The first clause was to ensure that Dakota was to become a stable supplier of meat products and even fresh herbs, they would pay for whatever Dakota brings back, as long as it's worth something. The second clause, one which focused more on the safety of the restaurant, was one that states that Dakota; when in the close proximity of the restaurant, should safeguard it if anything detrimental were to happen.
The two informed Dakota of the changes, she didn't mind, nor did she really care all that much either. She was originally going to protect the restaurant anyway, even before she was contracted entirely due to her obsession with the food. Not to mention that two of the other best restaurants in the food district were right next to it, Dakota wasn't going to allow some thugs to ruin her favourite meals.

With that settled so smoothly, Valentina and Marie both nodded before shaking Dakota's hand and leaving back towards the kitchen. Even they themselves were thoroughly surprised by how smoothly the transition went; they expected a bit of resistance but more or less it seems like Dakota was going to follow those clauses anyway.
Lachlan and Phoebe both oversaw the entire deal and nodded in approval, Marie and Valentina both managed to keep themselves composed throughout the entire contract renegotiation; granted, it was quite simple considering Dakota's smooth cooperation that proved to provide little discouragement to Valentina and Marie.
Turning back, Lachlan took a bite out of his meal, the meaty juices filled his mouth to the brim, the doughy bread seemed to follow straight after. The dough used the same ingredients, just a few different ratios considering the evolution. Especially since ingredients such as eggs grew to the size of a human's head.
The flavour inside each bite was concentrated, there was a tinge of sweetness in the breed by itself, likely from the b.u.t.ter which was harvested from an evolved cow. Fortunately, cows still remained rather docile, their intelligence also got a boost and seeing humans shelter it from the harm of other beasts it didn't mind having its milk extracted from it.
Farm animals although evolved and got stronger, they also got a major setback as well. Through the constant selective breeding and genetic modification, the genes inside the farm animals were rather unstable, thereby making the evolution slightly different as well.
Certain breeds of cows began to excrete milk without being pregnant, some chickens would lay several dozen eggs every day without stopping, pigs turned slightly hostile; however, since pigs were mainly harvested for their meat the farmers didn't mind treating the animal a bit harsher than the others.
The more purebred farm animals immediately grew stronger and escaped the farms, granted, they still weren't at the high end of the food chain and were swiftly slaughtered and eaten by the thousand other species of beasts that surrounded them. Though some cows and pigs managed to evolve into rather unique beasts, a few hundred cows evolved into a powerful type of bull while the pigs managed to grow into house-size boars. Just through size along they would be able to survive, however, when paired with their strength their ramming speed was a deadly combo.
Lachlan took another bite; the rich refres.h.i.+ng flavour of the vegetables overwhelmed all the other flavours. Unlike most vegetables which all possess a unique taste even to each other, these vegetables tasted much sweeter and had a slight crunch to them when they bit into it. The finely diced tomatoes were pouring out their sweet savoury juices.
Then, when almost everything seemed over a wave of heat filled Lachlan's mouth. Lachlan had ordered the spicy dish, so, just like the name would imply, it possesses a lot of spice. The chillies were freshly grown in a nearby town, that town was heavily guarded by the Land Guardians since it was a central hub for farming. The largest farm in the city, Farming Ethiopia, was Atlanta's and possibly America's largest fresh produce supplier.
Opening his eyes which were shut so he could experience the flavour some more he noticed Phoebe looking at him with a raised eyebrow and tilted head. Lachlan responded with a similar facial expression before wiping his thumb against the edge of his lip. Looking at it, Lachlan noticed it had a thin layer of sauce. Lachlan slightly chuckled before sticking out his tongue and licking the sauce off his face, any remaining sauce was wiped off using a clean napkin.
"So, do you think we should start recruiting? They obviously won't actually start training until all the facilities are finished, but recruiting should possibly take a week or two," Lachlan said while he took another bite, much smaller than the first to allow him to continue talking.
"I don't see why not, it isn't as though it'll create problems nor do any harm. Per example, we could also test out a couple of arena ideas, in these arenas, the students will be able to test their skills against one another and relieve some stress as well as settle any aggression between them," Phoebe nodded in agreement. She was also curious about a few other things, such as the fighting abilities of people nowadays.
"Suppose that's true, then when we get back to the island, I better get back to work with the terraforming, that is a surprisingly difficult job to do, especially since certain people happen to be extremely picky about the details. Granted, those extra details and additional aspects created a much more realistic battlefield," Lachlan responded while he sank back into the chair with his plate in his hand.
Currently, the construction of the dormitories was undergoing fast progress and steady development with a few additional modifications here and there, especially whenever Christina was there, she wanted to add her creative flair to just about every process. Some of which, turned out a lot better than expected while others were complete flops.
Lachlan was in charge of terraforming the training facilities to allow for a wider diversity of training environments. He was currently still in the process of completing the first facility ground, however, Christina seemed almost attached to Lachlan's abilities and would also be close by. Christina also happens to be the individual that's creating plenty of trouble with his progress, constantly wanting additional changes.
"But, before we go back, I suppose I wouldn't mind spending a bit of time in the city, maybe we should go and check out the Vietnamese restaurants next to our place," Lachlan said, taking another bite of his food before drinking a mouthful of water.
Currently, they've been a dozen other restaurants but never to the restaurant right next to them. Don't ask them why; they wouldn't be able to answer it themselves. They just decided on not going and testing it out, they were more inclined to try other exotic foreign dishes such as Pakistani food or Indian food, both of which were incredibly delicious.
They finished their meal in a hurry, the food filled their stomachs close to the brim, but they still had room for a bit more food. They paid for the meal, using their own money before walking out and going next door. The reason why they decided to pay for their meal was that they didn't feel the need to create a scene, not to mention that the money was basically just going back to them anyway. They looked at the Vietnamese restaurant, nodded to each other before walking it.
Taking a step in their noses were swiftly a.s.saulted with the aroma of herbs and spices, they looked around and sat themselves down before looking at the menu. A majority of the dishes were noodle and rice-based; there was one thing that caught Lachlan's attention immediately, it was the sweet and spicy fried chicken with stir-fried rice.
Lachlan was curious as to how it would taste, especially since chicken is one of the rarer farm animals considering its nature underwent great change through the evolution. Although it was still somewhat docile, its eggs were basically its most precious things, it was incredibly protected of them. Not to mention, they can be incredibly protective of themselves as well; but that was known even before the evolution.
In the end, Lachlan ordered the Spicy Fried Chicken with Stir-Fried Rice while Phoebe decided on getting the Port Noodle Soup. The Vietnamese restaurant had a variety of meats and dishes as their disposal, so it came at no surprise that they were such a well-known restaurant. Whenever they walked the streets, they would only hear the name of three restaurants: Their own restaurant, as well as Kawata's j.a.panese restaurant along with the Vietnamese restaurant.
It didn't take long, roughly 10 -15 minutes before the waiter came out with both of Lachlan's and Phoebe's orders. He gracefully placed the meals in front of them before bowing and leaving them to eat.
The aroma from the Soup was most prominent, second would be the Stir-Fried Rice while the Spicy Friend Chicken would be last. Granted, the aroma from the Spicy Friend Chicken could still fill the room easily, it's just that the other dishes have a more piercing aroma.
They swiftly went into an eating mode and finished the meal swiftly; the Spicy Friend Chicken was indeed spicy first and foremost, it then had a slight garlic taste before Lachlan's mouth felt as though it was on fire. He sculled the water gla.s.s before placing the cup down and letting out a loud exhale. Lachlan then moved onto the Stir-Friend Rice; it wasn't complicated, rather, it was quite simple with a few different vegetables: peas, carrots, corn, spinach, and capsic.u.m. The rice was coated with a layer of a savoury soy sauce, something that would be more than likely paired with pork rather than chicken.
Meanwhile, Phoebe was sitting across from him eating the noodle soup blissfully. The soup had a strong flavour that pierced her taste buds, it had the slightest bit of spice, but she could taste the flavour of pork stock more prominently. The thick slices of pork covering half the bowl were roasted before being slightly fried to get a nice crunchy skin.
With such great tasting food, they weren't surprised by how popular the restaurant was; currently, a line was building up outside the door due to it now being in the rush hours of lunchtime. Fortunately, they managed to get to the restaurant slightly beforehand.
After finis.h.i.+ng their meals they stretched their legs a bit more walking up to the register; a wonderfully dressed Vietnamese woman appeared in seconds to service them. They paid for the meal before leaving the restaurant; looking to the side the line was roughly 20 people long.
The line at Kawata's restaurant was roughly 30 – 35 people long.
Their restaurant, on the other hand, had a line stretching for at least 40 people minimum; the two grinned at the sight of success. Fortunately, all the effort that they put into getting here wasn't wasted. Not to mention the construction of the dorms was going steadily as well, everything was going according to plan…
…
In the far distance, thousands of kilometres away, hovering above the wide blue ocean was a dark figure cloaked in dark green. Black wings spread from its back; its eyes opened widely as it sniffed the air. In a deep booming and croaky voice, it said coldly, "I smell it, the scent of another half."
