YM778.TV Chapter 223: Do You Really Know How to Cook?
Scarlet was not expecting that. She could not help but ask, "Is he not old for adventures? And, are you not worried about him? After all, he had suffered a terrible injury previously, and it is clear that he has not healed enough."
"He is stronger than you think." Jaden responded simply. He did not want to explain further, as he did not understand how he was supposed to reveal about Scott\'s ability.
In any case, Jaden was not having the intention of mentioning anything about it. As for Scott\'s safety, Jaden believed that Scott was going to be safe. After all, with the ability that he had, it was almost impossible for anybody to touch him.
Clifford on the other hand narrowed his eyes. Previously, he had been keeping an eye on the old man, considering that Jaden cared about him. But suddenly, that old man vanished from the radar of those that were keeping watch over him.
He had done this not because he wanted to keep an eye on the old man\'s moves, but instead, it was only because of the old man\'s safety. In case there was anybody that wanted to attack the old man, those that were assigned would protect the old man.
This was just a way that Clifford was using in order to make sure that the relationship between him and Jaden would go the way he wanted. If he did Jaden more favors, then Jaden would definitely remember them in the future.
But with the disappearance of the old man, he could not continue that plan. Still, he did not pursue that matter, and neither did he ask Jaden about it. Since Jaden was not worried, it was clear that there was nothing wrong with the old man disappearing. Enjoy exclusive chapters from m-v l\'e|-NovelBin.net
Perhaps it might be Jaden who had noticed that there was a group of people that was watching over the old man, and decided to take the old man away. Still, he was quite curious about where the old man had gone to. But, he could not ask, not willing to be privy to Jaden\'s issues.
Jaden and Scarlet left Clifford\'s study, after they had talked a little more. Of course, it was Clifford who kept on reminding them about not leaving the compound for the time being, especially during the crackdown.
Still, Jaden had to go out. Clifford had no choice but to allow Jaden to go out, considering that Jaden claimed that he had something that he needed to deal with.
The moment that Jaden was given permission, he immediately headed to Maco community. He needed to arrange everything there first, before going back to the Johnson residence.
Previously, he had been called in a hurry, so, he left a few things disorganized. Additionally, from the way that Clifford had talked, it was clear that it was going to be quite a while before he came back to the villa.
So, Jaden decided to take care of the foodstuffs, lest they rot inside the fridge when he was away. After thinking for a while, he decided to take them to the neighbor, Villa number 13.
Of course, it was impossible that a person that was living inside of Villa number 13 could not afford a few groceries. Nonetheless, Jaden simply wanted to get rid of the groceries, and did not want to throw them away.
After pressing the bell, he waited for a few seconds. And finally, a chubby figure suddenly appeared. Jaden was dumbfounded when he recognized this guy.
Previously, when he was leaving the community, this guy and another one came over to cause him trouble. Even though this guy had not spoken, still, he did not have the intention of stopping the other guy.
Kennedy was also surprised when he saw Jaden at his door. He looked at him, wondering what Jaden had come here to do. Could it be that he had come to pursue the matter of the trouble that they had caused him, when he was together with Charles?
Before he could say anything, Jaden spoke first. "I\'m about to go away for quite a while. I had bought these groceries not long ago. But it seems that I will not be able to use them. So, I decided to give them away instead of throwing them."
Kennedy looked at the few shopping bags that Jaden was carrying. From what Jaden have said, inside those bags were groceries.
Kennedy squinted his eyes of he looked at the bags that Jaden was carrying, before looking back at Jaden. At this moment, he was wondering if Jaden was having a certain aim at coming over to give him the groceries.
Additionally, it was not as if he could not afford something like that. For him, he liked eating, but he could not cook by himself. And for that reason, he would always invite a chef to cook for him.
Currently, the chef was on a vacation. So, recently, Kennedy had been eating take away food, or he would go to a restaurant to eat. Still, he thought that it was not a bad idea to cook by himself, he could use this as training for his cooking skills.
But, he was quite reluctant to accept the groceries from Jaden. And just as he was hesitating, Jaden suddenly pushed the box containing the groceries to him.
"I\'ll see you later. I live in Villa 12, your neighbor. I\'m off." Jaden stated as he turned around and left.
He did not have the time to wait for Kennedy to contemplate on whether to take the groceries or not. In any case, Jaden despised throwing away food.
This was something that he had gotten used to due to the life that he had been experiencing before he managed to get the system. So, to him, it was better for him to give away the food, rather than throwing it away.
As for whether Kennedy was going to use the groceries, or throw them away, Jaden did not care. In any case, in his heart, he felt relieved that he had not thrown it away, or left it there to get ruined.
After getting back to the Villa, Jaden sorted out everything, before finally leaving the community. Right now, he had decided that he had to go directly to the company that he had gotten 51% shares of.
Even though the company was located in the heart of the city, Jaden did not want to risk getting involved with gangsters during the crackdown. So, it was better for him to get things over with as soon as possible.
Of course, he understood that it was going to be a little troublesome for the project involving the apartment to continue. After all, with the crackdown, the Eastern part of the city was going to be the most dangerous part within Faru city.
It was quite reasonable that the company that he had contracted to build the apartment for him would consider the safety of their employees. So, most probably, they would not continue with the job, during the crackdown.
Jaden did not have any qualms about that. In any case, it was not as if he was in a hurry to occupy the apartment block. That was something that could be taken care of slowly.
Nonetheless, he was quite curious about how the rebate card worked. So, he decided that it was better for him to get the money, and try out the rebate card first. That way, he could plan for the 100 times rebate card.
Shortly after Jaden had left, Charles suddenly came back to Villa number 13. His expression was gloomy.
Kennedy who had already gotten into the kitchen, wanting to try out his cooking skills, could not help but get curious. "Hey, how did it go? Do you remember him?"
"Yes I do. And, if I may ask, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Charles responded, before asking.
"I want to cook." Kennedy responded confidently as he poured oil onto the pan.
"Do you really know how to cook? I remember you telling me that you have never cooked in your life. There is always someone to cook for you, or you would order take away." Charles asked doubtfully.
"It might be true that I have never cooked, but I have watched several times people cooking on TV, or when my chef is here. So, I want to try out the theoretical knowledge that I have." Kennedy responded.
"And by the way, where did you get the ingredients from? It hasn\'t been that long since I left, and it is impossible for you to have gone to the grocery store out of the community, when you cannot go to the one present within the community." Charles asked curiously.
"Someone gave them to me. You won\'t believe who it was."
"Well, just know one thing. I have already eaten when I had gone back home. So, when you cook, don\'t count me in." Charles interrupted.
From the way that he was speaking, it was as if he was afraid that Kennedy would add him to the share of the food that he was cooking. It was clear that he was having no intention of eating the food cooked by Kennedy.
Kennedy simply shrugged. "I guess more food for me then." Kennedy continue pouring several ingredients in the pan at the same time, before asking, "So, what did you find out? Do you perhaps know his identity?"
