Chapter 597: The Employees Are Back (2/2)

”Did something happen?”

Nina immediately shook her head.

”Nothing! Everything is fine! So, why did you disappear, master?”

Krune felt like he was missing something, but decided to let it go in the end.

”Well, I had a few complications. The reason I left was that I could make a breakthrough into the Divine View Realm. However, due to a chain of events, I got stuck into another issue until now. Sorry for not contacting you back, I just didn't have enough time for it.”

Everyone was surprised to hear that. Immediately, Bai made a question.

”But, were you successful in your breakthrough, Chef Krune?”

Krune smiled and nodded.

”Yes, everything ended fine, and I entered the Divine View Realm. We might add new dishes to our menus very soon. But regardless of what happened, the fact is that I left without warning you. That being said, I will not revoke my role as the restaurant owner.”

Krune then asked everyone to show their spatial rings. He touched each one of them and sent three months of payment inside for everyone. For Krune at the moment, it wasn't that big of a price. Not to mention that he could recover it very fast with his restaurant income. But for Bai and the others, this was a huge amount! One must remember that Krune is already paying 4 to 5 times more than other restaurants to start with. Receiving three months of payment at once was obviously incredible.

”Chef Krune, this...”

Krune shook his head.

”No complaints. I will not take the Godly Stones back either. Now, since you are back, you better work hard.”

Everyone nodded, excited.

”Yes!”

”Good, now clean up the restaurant. Nina, you come with me. I need to prepare a few things.”

Krune smiled and then went back to the kitchen with Nina. Sometime later, the two of them came back with a few plates of dishes.

”Alright, prepare a table for us, let's eat.”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly organized everything. As expected, Krune had cooked Spiritual Food again, which would greatly help everyone's cultivations. They ate, drunk, and talked for a few hours. In the end, Krune sent everyone back to their homes. He also passed a few extra Godly Stones to Nina and told her to go use the Energy Gathering Formation.

Krune was very satisfied with Nina after he came back. Even though she lost his support of Godly Stones, it turned out that her talent really wasn't bad. Three months was enough for her to go all the way up to the 8th Stage of the Foundation Establishment. And that was only using the heaven and earth Godly Energy in the air.

Of course, part of her speed was due to the fact that she passed through those stages before as well. With her experiences, things became a lot easier to repeat. Now that Krune was back, she wouldn't have a problem with Godly Stones anymore.

After that, Krune went back to the kitchen. He didn't cook anything in the last three months, so he wanted to practice a little. Besides, now that he was in the Divine View Realm, he wanted to try his hand on Semi-Divinity Realm ingredients. As he looked at everything in front of him, Krune smiled.

”Let's start.”
