[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

After entering, Chao Ke called the group to his side and, taking advantage of the fact that the restaurant had not yet opened for business, taught them the specific preparation process of [Guoguo Xianluo].

Because of his commitment to quality, Chao Ke didn't go anywhere else today; he stayed in the kitchen, personally instructing the kitchen staff.

Halfway through the lesson, Chao Ke suddenly discovered something.

These four employees in my kitchen all seem to be married women...

hiss...

I don't have any strange fetishes that I'm unaware of, do I?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

After the lunch rush at the restaurant had passed, Chao Ke came out of the kitchen and gave the opportunity to practice to the group of wives.

Holding two cups of "Fruit Fairy Cheese," Chao Ke walked to a corner of the restaurant.

It's quite a coincidence. The cop on duty at Chaoke's shop today is an acquaintance, the one who's pursuing Officer Lina, I think his name is something like Gu.

Chao Ke stepped forward and handed him a cup of [Guoguo Xianluo] that he was holding.

Although the policeman was surprised, he accepted Chao Ke's kindness.

"Thank you boss."

"Having a rough time lately? Or did Officer Lina reject your confession? You look so gloomy."

The officer sighed. "It's not for those reasons. I'm just feeling sorry for what happened to Donatello."

"Oh?"

Chao Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had a guess in his mind.

"Tell me in detail. I haven't been in Fontainebleau for the past few months. Has something happened to Donatello?"

The officer was taken aback. "No wonder I haven't seen Mr. Chao Ke for a while. So that's why."

After that, the cop told Chao Ke the details of what had happened to Donatello recently.

...

It was about a week after Chao Ke left.

A heinous crime has occurred in Fontainebleau.

However, the case was deliberately suppressed, and apart from the parties involved, almost no one in the public knew about it.

Even Donatello only came into contact with the case by chance.

The strangeness and oddity of the case attracted Donatello, so he volunteered to take charge of the investigation.

However, as the investigation deepened, Donatello felt a chill run down his spine.

This case was not difficult to investigate; on the contrary, the investigation went exceptionally smoothly.

Not only were numerous pieces of evidence found, but several eyewitnesses were also identified.

However, despite the obviousness of the case, no one dared to identify the real culprit...

That night, Donatello, who rarely drinks, got unusually drunk.

At the time, several of his colleagues in the police force even teased him.

The very next day, the Steambird newspaper made headlines throughout Fontainebleau, revealing the turmoil that had gripped Donatello's heart that night.

A police officer working at the "Fontainebleau Grand Court" risks his future and reputation to invite justice to attend.

The criminal in a high position was brought down and given the punishment he deserved.

However, Donatello also faced his own judgment.

"That's what the judge said in the courtroom."

"Mr. Donatello."

"Because you violated the garrison regulations by leaking serious crime information."

"Therefore, I declare you guilty!"

...

Finally, Mr. Donatello was exiled to Mello Petersburg.

Mr. Donatello's wife and daughters were also forced to move to the Grey River district...

As the story ended, Tiaozi took a deep breath of [Fruit Fairy Milk], his expression not exactly calm.

Chao Ke sighed, "Why did it have to be during this time..."

It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. At worst, I'll personally step in and act as your duel proxy.

After a moment of silence, Chao Ke asked the officer.

"Do you have Donatello's wife and daughter's address in the Grey River district? I'd like to go visit them."

The officer was taken aback, then quickly replied, "Yes, wait a moment, boss, I'll write it down for you."

"No rush, I'll go to the kitchen and make something to take with me."

Chapter 110 Kares' Negotiations [Bonus Chapter]

[Bonus chapter added to improve the rating from 7.6 to 7.7]

Chao Ke personally cooked a lot of dishes.

After filling an insulated box, Chao Ke carried the small box and made a trip to the Grey River District.

Following the address given by the police officer in the restaurant, Chao Ke found their home.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

After the knocking, it was Xia Wolei who opened the door for Chao Ke.

After entering, Chao Ke explained his purpose and met Xia Worei's mother.

She was a very gentle aunt, but her brow was furrowed with worry because of her husband's situation.

Since the two were not familiar with each other, Chao Ke comforted her for a few words and then took his leave.

However, before leaving, Chao Ke gave Xia Worei a look and a gesture, signaling her to come over.

Xia Worei understood what Chao Ke meant. After informing her mother, she left home with Chao Ke.

"Brother Chao Ke, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Ah."

Chao Ke nodded, "I'm opening a branch of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] in the Grey River District in the next few days, and we're short-staffed right now."

"I remember you really liked the food at this restaurant, how about you come work for me?"

"Short working hours, generous pay, and all-you-can-eat food in the store."

Xia Worei was stunned. She hadn't expected Chao Ke's recruitment, but she did need a job recently.

My mother's health was already poor, and after my father's incident, her health deteriorated even further.

Although my father's colleagues and many strangers who had received his kindness extended a helping hand.

But ultimately, it's more secure to have your own income.

With this in mind, Xia Worei agreed to Chao Ke's request.

"I agree. Where is the restaurant located? When can I start work?"

Xia Worei's question really stumped Chao Ke. To be honest, even Chao Ke didn't know the address of the branch.

He cleared his throat and said to Ke, "There's no rush. You should settle your mother first. I'll come find you before the restaurant opens."

After saying that, Chao Ke touched Xia Worei's hair and then turned and left.

Xia Worei stood there, watching Chao Ke's departing figure.

"This feels a bit off...it must be just my imagination..."

--------------

In a luxurious private room at a hotel in Fontaine.

Kares sat with several Fontaine officials to discuss the opening of a branch of [Delicious Taste Restaurant] in the Grey River district.

With Kares's account, the officials gained a general understanding of the whole story.

The official sitting in the main seat took a deep drag on his cigar, but his gaze fell on the secretary beside him.

“Pence, I’m almost out of cigars, could you take me and buy some more?”

The secretary understood, nodded slightly, and left the hotel room, closing the door behind him.

But Secretary Pence did not go far; instead, he stood at the door of the private room to prevent anyone from coming or going.

Seeing that there was a secretary guarding the door, the people inside relaxed slightly.

The officials, especially those sitting in the main seats, simply put their feet up on the table.

He spoke with disdain.

"There are no outsiders at our table, so I won't hold back on some things."

“Kares, we’re giving you face in public because of your contribution to building the waterway, but that doesn’t mean you can really be on equal footing with us.”

"What kind of background does 【Jia Zi Wei Restaurant】 have? Ordinary people in Fontaine don't know, but you, the head of the Rose Society, don't know?"

"Don't forget, it's because of our support that your Rose Society has achieved its current status. If you dare to associate with the Fools, we can always find another partner."

The words of the official in charge not only made Carres's face extremely ugly, but also made the faces of the remaining officials at the table look rather unpleasant.

"Damn it, I'd heard that this bastard had a grudge against Rose, but I didn't expect him to bite like a mad dog right away."

"No, I need to defuse the situation. Even if the Rose Society can't compete with the Fontaine government, if we really anger them, it would be easy for them to make us disappear."

Apart from the officials in the main seats who were looking at each other, they all shared the same thought.

Then, someone started to speak up.

First, one person denounced Witte, who was sitting in the main seat.
