This is a restaurant located at a crossroads. The storefront is quite impressive. It has three floors in total. The first and second floors are open to the public, while the third floor is the owner's residence.

At this moment, on the third floor, the light shines outside through the curtains.

"Arrest everyone in the restaurant, but remember not to hurt anyone. If anyone disobeys, knock them unconscious first," Amelia instructed Eileen.

Eileen nodded, then leaped to the outside of the third floor, grabbed the windowsill, and pushed the window open. She disappeared into the house at an incredible speed, so fast that the people inside didn't have time to react.

Amelia stayed downstairs but didn't hear any noise from upstairs, and nodded in satisfaction.

"As expected of Eileen, she has always been so reliable."

Without keeping Amelia waiting for long, Eileen leaped out of the upstairs window and landed lightly beside Amelia.

"Miss Leah, there's only one person in this household," Eileen reported first.

"Only one person?"

This surprised Amelia a bit. Could one person run such a large restaurant?

Or perhaps the rest of the people didn't stay here at all because the restaurant wasn't open for a while.

"Take me up first."

Regardless, Amelia decided to check on the person first.

Eileen immediately came over, grabbed Amelia around the waist, and with a leap, successfully jumped with Amelia into the third-floor window.

Before Amelia lay a cozy bedroom, with a table covered with books, a cushioned chair, a bed with stuffed animals, a half-open wardrobe, and a wall lamp emitting light.

Amelia's gaze shifted and landed on the only person in the bedroom.

This is a woman who looks to be in her early twenties. She has an average build but fair skin, long brown hair, and bright green eyes. She is wearing light-colored pajamas and looks like she was about to fall asleep.

The woman looked at Amelia and Eileen with fear in her eyes, but she stood there obediently, not daring to say anything.

Eileen's arrival had already made her realize that she had encountered an apostle with terrifying abilities. The apostle had threatened her to obey, and knowing how terrifying the apostle was, she naturally understood that only by obeying could she ensure her safety.

"Name?" Amelia asked, looking at the woman.

"Jenny Toynbee".

"age."

"Twenty-eight."

"You were originally from the Kingdom of Steel?"

"No, I am from the Kingdom of Baghs."

"The Kingdom of Bagus... So who are you from the Whispers of the Sun?"

"I am the owner of this restaurant."

"Since you're the boss, you must be able to make bread, right?" Amelia smiled at Jenny.

Seeing that smile, Jenny felt a little flustered, but she still admitted that she could indeed bake bread.

“Very good. From now on, you must follow my orders. If you don’t, anything could happen to you. I think you understand what I mean, right?” Amelia’s eyes flashed with a hint of danger.

Jenny nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Amelia turned to Eileen and asked, "Are you sure she's the only one left here?"

Eileen said definitively, "Yes, I have searched the rest of the place, and there is no one else here."

Since Eileen has confirmed it, and Amelia believes there are no problems, we can proceed to the next step.

Chapter 36 Bread Festival

September 12, 720 of the Heavenly Calendar, is the Bread Festival.

This is a festival from the distant past commemorating bread making. Although many people have forgotten about this festival due to the passage of time, there are still quite a few people who celebrate it properly.

Woodrow Norris was such a person.

He was strong and had a thick beard. He walked down the streets of Rhine City wearing a suit of armor. The sunlight made his red hair look particularly bright.

He was in a good mood.

Not long ago, he sent his soldiers to patrol the area near the North Gate to see if any restaurants had opened. As it turned out, they found out that a restaurant called Whispering Sunshine had indeed opened.

If the restaurant doesn't open, he won't be able to properly enjoy the bread festival, since he doesn't know how to make bread himself, which will be a regret for him this year.

But now he doesn't have to worry about that anymore. A restaurant has opened, and it's not far from the North Gate, which is undoubtedly a good choice.

Woodrow arrived at his destination in no time.

At the quiet crossroads, you can see the Whispering Sunshine Restaurant with its doors open, a sign that reads "Open for Business" hanging outside.

Woodrow entered the restaurant with a smile.

The spacious restaurant was filled with neatly arranged tables and chairs, but there were no other customers, making it feel deserted.

"It's supposed to be a bread festival, but there's nobody here."

Woodrow sighed slightly, but then, smelling the aroma of bread in the air, he smiled with satisfaction.

Welcome!

A crisp sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a girl with silver hair and red eyes, dressed in a white dress, walked over and asked softly, "What would you like to order, sir?"

"Are you a waiter at this restaurant?" Woodrow asked the girl.

“Yes, my name is Lucy Coffey,” the girl said with a smile.

“There are very few shops open in Rhine City these days, and this restaurant wasn’t open before, so why is it open today?” Woodrow asked instead of ordering.

"Because today is Bread Festival, a memorable day, I think our restaurant shouldn't miss such a festival. Of course, this is just my guess as a waiter about the boss's thoughts, but the boss was really looking forward to Bread Festival."

Amelia, disguised as a waitress, had already imagined many scenarios of interacting with Woodrow, so she found it very easy to handle the situation at this moment.

Woodrow didn't suspect anything and even showed a happy expression on his face.

As someone with a certain passion for bread, he was naturally very happy to see others enjoying the bread festival.

“I want ten of your specialty breads, and each one must be different,” Woodrow said, waving his hand.

“No problem, please wait here for a moment.” Amelia retreated back into the kitchen.

Eileen and Jenny were both in the kitchen.

Because Amelia was going to contact Woodrow, Eileen was worried that something might happen and was prepared to rush out at any time, but fortunately nothing happened.

Jenny was making bread with a lot of fear, and the aroma of many loaves of bread was wafting out of the oven.

"Make ten different kinds of bread, one portion of each," Amelia instructed Jenny.

Jenny nodded quickly.

Because they had been making bread for a while, most of the bread was ready in no time, and Amelia handed out portions of bread to Woodrow one by one.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The last loaf of bread came out of the oven.

When Jenny handed the bread to Amelia, Amelia instructed, "Alright, Jenny, you should get some sleep now."

Before Jenny could react, Eileen appeared behind her and knocked her unconscious with a karate chop. Then she grabbed Jenny's body and carried her upstairs to hide her.

Amelia then placed the prepared note under the last slice of cream bread.

Amelia waited a while, and then Eileen returned.

"Hidden well?" Amelia asked.

“I hid Jenny in the closet. She won’t wake up for a while and won’t reveal any information about us.”

"enough."

Amelia came out carrying a tray of bread and placed it on Woodrow's table.

“This is the last one, sir,” Amelia said with a smile.

Even when faced with just bread, Woodrow's expression was serious as he watched the tray being placed down.

Amelia didn't disturb Woodrow's meal; after putting it down, she turned and went back to the kitchen.

"We should go."

Is that enough?

"That should be enough, because the situation on the Iris side is about the same, and Woodrow doesn't have enough time to focus his attention on us."

Amelia glanced at the comments section as she spoke.

Based on the information provided by the comments and her own judgment, her plan was almost complete, but she wasn't 100% sure if it would actually succeed. She just hoped that nothing unexpected would happen.

Amelia and Irene then left directly through the back door of the restaurant.

==========

At the Iris Flower stronghold, Amelia and Irene met the rest of the Iris Flower.

Beth, Lester, Charles, Brandon!

Several people have arrived and are discussing the events of last night.

Upon seeing Amelia and Eileen arrive, Beth smiled and said, "It seems you've done a good job in the area you're in charge of. There's been quite a bit of chaos there. I'll report your contributions to the organization and reward you accordingly."

“It’s what we should do,” Amelia replied with a smile.

In the eyes of the rest of the Iris Flower, one was a prospective apostle and the other a lower-ranking apostle, so the requirements for them were not high. And those low requirements were something that Eileen, who was actually a middle-ranking apostle, could complete in a very short time. That's why they had plenty of time to make other arrangements with Jenny.

At this time, the rest of the Iris Flower group had also arranged their respective areas of responsibility.

“Rhine City is in chaos right now, especially in the south. Besides those we killed, the soldiers of the three kingdoms are also fighting amongst themselves, resulting in many deaths. Under these circumstances, the leaders of the three kingdoms in the north will soon be unable to sit still and go to deal with this matter. Our opportunity has arrived.” Beth’s eyes were very bright as she spoke.

If they could acquire a magic crystal cannon, it would be of great significance to the entire organization.

"So all we need to do now is wait near the North Gate for those three commanders to leave, right?" Lester asked.

“Yes.” Beth nodded and added, “I won’t be back in Rhine City for a while after I leave this time. What about you, Lester?”
