I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"Oh, even the infamous Phantom Lord Zoroark can have his share of mishaps." Heath sarcastically communicated with Zoroark telepathically, but his hands didn't stop. He was still preparing hot pot for Musashi and the others. Although Heath didn't really recommend Kojiro and Meowth to eat it, seeing the two of them patting their chests and saying they could handle spicy food, Heath had no choice but to go along with it. It just looked like the Goldenrod City hospital would have two more unfortunate souls tomorrow.

As we all know, eating super spicy food often involves three layers of suffering. The first layer is the mouth, where the spiciness takes a long time to dissipate. The second layer is even more painful, causing stomach and intestinal suffering. This is why some people develop stomach perforation from eating spicy food, and this kind of torment is unbearable even with medication. The third layer is the lower body, where going to the toilet is extremely painful. Eating spicy food is also a key cause of hemorrhoids.

"Ahem... This... This is all a misunderstanding!" Zoroark looked embarrassed. The Betty she conjured had a blush on her face and looked incredibly realistic. Heath couldn't help but laugh.

Zoroark had confidently told Heath that she had discovered a lucrative business. Curious, Heath asked Zoroark what that business was. It turned out her method was to buy cups, provide them to customers, and then use illusions to make the cups conform to their preferences. Since the customers couldn't tell the difference, she could make a fortune. Heath, annoyed, gave her a flick on the forehead. It has to be said, this idiot's idea was quite unique, truly unique, leaving Heath speechless. One could only say that Zoroark's brain was probably just not properly developed.

Heath shrugged, then had Zoroark bring the ingredients over. At the same time, she wiped her hands and washed her kitchen utensils and tools. She had to admit that this time the spiciness of the "insanely spicy" food was quite high. She wondered if Ms. Musashi and the others could handle it.

At this moment, Kojiro stared into thought as he looked at the hot pot in front of him. Although he had eaten spicy food before, he had never seen anything like this before, with chili peppers floating all over the pot. Just the smell made his trachea feel uncomfortable.

"Kojiro, do you think this is really edible?" Meowth was also deep in thought. It was a cat! A cat! Was this really something a cat could eat?

Suddenly, Meow Meow felt that eating cat food wasn't so bad. At least, although the taste of cat food wasn't great, she wouldn't worry about dying from eating it. But this thing, she thought, would kill her if she ate it.

Chapter 841 A Nearly Perfect Girl

"Hello, is this Heath's Kitchen?" A cute voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the food truck. Although there weren't many people around, everyone, from Heath and Zoroark to Farfetch'd who was chopping vegetables, and even the Team Rocket trio who were sweating profusely, turned their attention to the girl. She was wearing a light green dress, and her long, flowing hair was blown by the wind as the door opened. Her shy demeanor, her long legs that would make countless fans say "I want to play with her legs for years," and her angelic face all spoke volumes about her charm.

Kojiro, standing to the side, didn't even notice when his chopsticks fell to the ground. Even Musashi looked surprised and astonished. It has to be said that the girl in front of him was really too cute, cute to an astonishing degree. Only Meowth didn't react, but it also thought the human girl in front of it was cute.

"Oh my god, white stockings! My god! Look at those cute little toes! I suddenly understand why some people are foot fetishists, I'm in!" Hearing Zoroark's perverted remarks, Hiss also came to his senses. He first looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. This girl's appearance was really too high. It can be said that in his previous life, she could make a lot of money by doing a live broadcast. Moreover, her voice was particularly nice. She was definitely not a mute bride. In addition, with that perfect figure, Hiss felt that if he saw a girl like this in his previous life, he would also open a captain account without hesitation.

Her beauty was so captivating that it could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky.

Then Heath gave Zoroark a disdainful look. Was this little guy's brain filled with nothing but yellow, useless computer parts? Heath felt obligated to purify Zoroark's head, otherwise, this guy's brain was truly beyond saving.

"Yes, this is Heath's Kitchen. Are you here for a meal?" Heath's mood had calmed down by now, but even so, looking at the lovely girl in front of him, Heath admitted that he couldn't help but take a few more glances. This wasn't to say that Heath was a scumbag planning to cheat or anything, but rather that the girl was indeed very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, the kind of girl that makes people want to take a second look.

"Hmm... I heard from a lady that the food here is delicious, so I wanted to try it... But could you make me a vegan meal?" the girl asked with a smile. As soon as she spoke, Heath exclaimed again, "This is simply a nightingale! This voice is absolutely amazing! Just by listening to this voice, Heath could imagine what the other person looked like, but in reality, the other person was even more beautiful."

Is this the kind of beauty and voice a human could possess? Heath suddenly had a question. To be honest, while there were many beautiful and cute girls in this world, like Hikari and Kasumi, he had never seen anyone like this girl, whose appearance was practically perfect in every way. This level of beauty was a once-in-a-millennium occurrence. So, could such terrifying beauty really be something a human could possess?

"Vegan? That's certainly possible." Although Heath was very curious about whether this girl was a mythical beast, now was not the time to dwell on such questions, because the guest had already made her request, and for some reason, Heath seemed to smell a pleasant fragrance in her nostrils. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but it seemed to be the fresh scent of flowers and herbs, not very strong, and it was the kind of fragrance that Heath liked very much.

Heath has a very sensitive nose. Although it doesn't quite reach the level of the god-like noses in some anime, Heath's sense of smell is indeed a little stronger than the average person. He really dislikes perfumes with a particularly strong scent. If you didn't know better, you would think that he smells bad and has to use so much perfume to cover it up. But the girl's fragrance is very light and pleasant to smell.

"Then please make me one, anything is fine, as long as it's vegetarian." The girl said happily, and Heath saw the girl's requirements and preferences for food above her head.

Favorite flavor: All

[Disliked tastes: None]

[Requirements for food: Any vegetarian dish is fine, delicious vegetarian dish, the kind that can't contain any animal fat]

The request was very simple, but what surprised Heath was how unique the other person's taste was. Generally speaking, people have some tastes they dislike. Some people don't like sweet, some don't like sour, and many don't like bitter. So bitterness is the type of taste that Heath has encountered the most. But Heath had never met a customer like this who liked all kinds of tastes and had no tastes he disliked.

“Okay, please wait a moment.” Heath nodded. Vegetarians aren’t that strange. Heath had met some vegetarians before, and even had a friend in her previous life who was a vegetarian and never touched any meat. The good news was that the friend never forced Heath to be vegetarian, and Heath wouldn’t force the friend to eat meat. If there was some mutual understanding, being a vegetarian wasn’t so scary.

Hearing Heath's words, the girl laughed happily and then ran over to him. She pulled up a chair and sat opposite him, resting her chin on her hands and looking at him curiously. This made Heath a little uncomfortable; the girl's gaze was very direct, reminding him of Musashi, who had also come here to look at him before.

However, while thinking about what to cook for the girl, Heath gradually became focused and stopped paying attention to the girl's gaze. Instead, he calmly prepared food for her.

Vegan? Heath immediately thought of salad. Salads are very simple to make: prepare some vegetables that can be eaten raw, wash and chop them, pour on salad dressing and mix well. Some people also add olive oil or something similar. It can be said to be one of the most common types of vegetarian dishes. There are many other vegetarian dishes. After all, although there is a lot of meat in the diet, compared with the vast amount of plant-based foods, there are relatively few ways to cook meat. Plant-based dishes are truly more diverse.

They could talk about it for a very long time.

Chapter 842, Shirabbi

After all, while meat is quite good, vegetables are also essential. Moreover, there are many kinds of vegetables, which makes it difficult to list all the vegetable dishes. Not to mention, there are so many soups made from each vegetable alone. If you add some combination vegetables, the quantity is unimaginable. This time, Heath planned to make some common home-style dishes, such as vegetable salad, fennel soup, and stir-fried bok choy, along with rice. The meal was prepared very quickly, and Heath finished it all in no time. Then, he had Zoroark serve it to the girl.

Fennel soup is one of Heath's favorite vegetable soups, though his absolute favorite is still the impeccable pea shoot soup—that's truly divine. However, since Heath remembered that he had bought a lot of fennel this time, he decided to use fennel to make the soup again. Fennel soup actually tastes quite good, or rather, very good, so Heath thought it would be a great choice to serve to guests, especially since the guest requested a vegan meal.

"Thank you." The girl's sweet voice sent a shiver down Zoroark's spine, and then she broke into a smitten smile. Hiss's lips twitched. This Zoroark was really something. This was a girl, and he was a girl too! Why was he giving her such a smitten smile? Hiss was speechless, but he still looked at the girl with a hint of anticipation, because he was very curious about her identity. If she was human, that would be perfect.

It's not that Heath thinks humans can't have such looks, but even in her previous life, in a place with advanced technologies like beauty filters and plastic surgery, having such looks wasn't easy. It's as if every part of this girl was in the most perfect place.

You have received a Small Hourglass for entertaining the shrine bhikkhu.

"?" Heath was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that this time the reception would give him such a thing. However, what surprised Heath the most was the identity of the other party. Heath originally thought that this girl might not be an ordinary person. After all, she was really too perfect, so perfect that it was astonishing. So at that time, Heath thought that she might be a divine beast. But he didn't expect that she really was a divine beast, and a very unique one at that.

Celebi, or rather, Hiss prefers to call it by its other name, Celebi, since Celebi sounds better. But Hiss later learned that its official name is Celebi. Hiss really likes this Pokémon. He caught it when he was playing the game. It looks cute and is quite strong, so it's a pretty good Pokémon.

However, as other legendary Pokémon appeared later on, Celebi gradually disappeared from Seath's team. There were also rumors at the time that Celebi was not actually a legendary Pokémon, but rather a mythical Pokémon. Seath was confused about this, after all, Seath was just a ruthless gamer. Of course, Celebi's appearance rate was also an issue, since Celebi was not seen in every generation of the game. With a base stat total of only 600, Celebi was more like a pseudo-legendary Pokémon than a legendary one.

The popularity of pseudo-legendary Pokémon like Garchomp is very high, which has reduced the likelihood of Celebi appearing in a trainer's team.

However, those are all game settings. What Hiss knows is that Celebi can actually travel between different time periods. Just this alone is already incredibly powerful. It's time travel, and it's really impossible for ordinary people to do that. Among the Pokémon currently known to be related to time, it seems that only Celebi and Dialga are related to time. Moreover, Celebi is also called the God of the Forest, which makes its status somewhat incomprehensible.

Heath had seen a movie where Celebi was called the Forest God by another mythical beast race, so the strength of Celebi is still a question worth discussing.

“But if it’s Celebi, then everything makes sense.” Hiss looked at Celebi in front of him and smiled. After all, it’s a Mythical Pokémon, so any behavior is acceptable. Hiss himself didn’t have any opinion. Besides, it’s not so strange that someone like Celebi could turn into a girl. For example, Zoroark is also a very cute girl, although she’s not as cute as Celebi.

Thinking of this, Heath glanced curiously at Celebi. Speaking of Celebi, this girl stood out for her harmony. It was quite strange, because although Celebi was a human form that had been created, she really gave people the feeling that a real person was sitting in front of them.

"Could it be that this is the most beautiful girl the Celebi has ever seen while traveling through different timelines, and then it used her image?" Heath scratched his head, as if it wasn't impossible.

As we all know, there have always been some types in human history who are completely unrelated but look very similar at first glance, or even really similar, such as the Golden Lion King and Thor in the past life. But now, Heath thinks there is another possibility, that is, someone once saw someone who looked very much like their friend, but the other person was actually a divine beast or a mythical beast in disguise.

Meanwhile, Celebi was happily eating. It wiggled its short legs and used its psychic powers to put the food into its mouth one by one, eating with satisfaction while curiously watching Heath. She had heard Ho-Oh say that there was a human chef who cooked very delicious food, and she was quite curious, so she came to see for herself. As it turned out, the chef's food was indeed very good and met her requirements, which made Celebi very satisfied.

"But what should I give for the food? Ho-Oh said it's human money, but the problem is I don't have any." Celebi was troubled, but then she had an idea. She could give that!

At that moment, Heath pulled a small hourglass from his pocket.

[Hourglass of Time (Small): After use, you can see a portion of your future depending on the choices you make.]

Heath paused for a moment. This thing was pretty impressive, but he didn't usually make choices, and he didn't have any difficulty making decisions.

Chapter 843 The Hourglass of Time

"Even so, I have to say this thing is really useful. Even though it's just a fragment, it's still pretty good." Heath happily put the thing away. He had just thought about it and then realized a problem: the thing's practicality might actually be stronger than he thought, considering that it showed fragments of different choices.

Ultimately, life is about making choices one after another, leading to different outcomes, much like playing a game. Sometimes, it's precisely because people don't know what the results of different choices will be that they form sworn brotherhoods, vowing to never abandon each other, with thoughts of "if only I had known" and "I really regret it."

But what if you could know in advance? Even just knowing a few fragments would be incredibly powerful. That's why Heath felt this thing was truly a divine artifact, an extraordinary artifact. Heath himself quite liked it. In the future, if he had anything to consider, he could turn it into a multiple-choice question. For example, if he was considering his relationship with his girlfriend Cynthia, Heath could turn it into a choice: "How should my relationship with Cynthia develop?", "Marry?", or "Don't get married?" This way, he could know what the different outcomes would be.

Moreover, there are many choices, such as "Should I expose Mr. Sakaki's identity?" or "Should I go grocery shopping or buy a lottery ticket today?" From small things like which drink can be bought with a free drink, to major life events like marriage, it all comes down to choices. What impressed Heath the most was when he was in school. After the college entrance exam, choosing a school and a major was also a problem. If he had this option, Heath wouldn't have to worry about choosing the wrong major.

So the hourglass meant that Heath had a chance to 'know' earlier.

"Hmm? But speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something." Heath paused for a moment, then looked thoughtfully at Celebi, who was still eating. He suddenly thought of something related to his mission achievement: the Golden Chicken, a specialty ingredient of Goldenrod City. This thing was supposed to be extinct, and Heath's idea was to see if there were any other specialty ingredients that could replace it. But now that Celebi was here, could he...?

Send the Celebi back to a previous timeline, and then...

Heath stroked his chin, thinking that this possibility was still there. After all, Golden Chickens were technically extinct in this era, but what about in previous eras? They definitely existed. And Celebi happened to be able to travel through time, so why not just have Celebi go to the old Goldenrod City and bring him a Golden Chicken? Thinking about this, Heath felt that this was indeed very feasible. The only problem was probably how to get Celebi to help.

"Heath, let's...sigh...come again next time!" Miss Musashi gasped for breath. The hot pot that Heath made was really spicy, and what was annoying was that Kojiro and Meowth were really good at taking it, so the result of the three of them competing was that all the food in front of them was eaten up, and Zoroark even added water for them once.

Heath stared blankly at Miss Musashi, then realized that Miss Musashi and the others had already finished eating. This left Heath speechless. He scratched his head, looking at Miss Musashi and Kojiro and Meow Meow, who were panting heavily, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. He hoped that the three of them would be able to use the toilet normally in the future, instead of screaming in agony.

“Um… Miss Musashi, Kojiro and Meow Meow, I actually suggest you go to the hospital now and have Miss Joey prescribe some medicine to protect your stomachs, otherwise…” Heath politely reminded them, but seeing how indifferent Miss Musashi and Kojiro were, Heath knew that these guys still hadn’t learned their lesson, or rather, Miss Musashi had learned her lesson, but Kojiro didn’t.

After all, judging from Musashi's cunning eyes, Heath knew that Musashi would definitely go, but as for whether Kojiro would go, Heath didn't know.

After seeing off the happy Ms. Musashi and the pained Kojiro Meow Meow, only Celebi remained in Heath's food truck, and Heath knew that his opportunity had arrived.

“Um, Miss Celebi, could I trouble you with something?” Heath asked with a smile. Upon hearing Heath’s words, Zoroark immediately turned to look at the only customer in the restaurant, the Celebi.

"Huh? Is that okay... Ah? Huh? Are you calling me?" Celebi answered subconsciously, but then she realized something was wrong and looked at Hiss with a panicked and flustered expression. It was clear that Celebi was a little nervous at the moment.

"Well, you should know this, right? I know Ho-Oh and Lugia, so I can guess your identity." Hiss said with a smile. It's just a legendary Pokémon. Hiss had entertained Kyogre before, and he'd met Dialga and Giratina. Celebi is nothing to be surprised about. There was even a Mew sitting in Hiss's rest room.

Upon hearing Hiss's words, Celebi suddenly remembered that Ho-Oh had told it that Hiss knew the true identities of the legendary Pokémon, so it didn't need to worry too much about its identity being exposed. Ho-Oh had also said that Hiss's background was far more terrifying than most Pokémon could imagine, and that Celebi should be careful. Celebi was stunned by what it heard.

"Ah... I knew you found out. May I ask if there's anything I can help you with?" Celebi smiled awkwardly, then looked at Heath with curiosity and asked. To be honest, it was her first time meeting Heath, and Heath's attitude was also strange, so straightforwardly asking her to do something.

Heath briefly shared his thoughts with the Celebi, whose expression turned serious upon hearing this.

“Mr. Heath, time is a very powerful force. Even if you only intend to use it for cooking, it’s still too much…” Celebi was about to refuse, as it could easily lead to trouble. However, just as Celebi was about to refuse Heath, she saw a magnificent light source appear behind him. This dazzling light source was so eye-catching that Celebi stared blankly, her eyes somewhat bewildered. What was this…?

Chapter 844 How to Complete the Achievement

“Mr. Heath, you can only cook and eat it; you can't leave any eggs behind.” Looking at the magnificent-looking chicken that Celebi had brought out, Heath was taken aback. To be honest, although Heath had indeed intended to try and get the Golden Chicken, an extinct native breed of Golden City, from Celebi, he hadn't expected to actually get such a unique chicken. This made Heath somewhat delighted. Looking at Celebi's expression, he had thought that Celebi wasn't planning to give him the Golden Chicken, but Celebi had given it to him anyway, albeit with some conditions, which were understandable.

Moreover, Heath himself didn't intend to keep the eggs to breed the Golden Chicken. He wanted this extinct chicken only to complete his achievement. Once the achievement was completed, it wouldn't matter whether the Golden Chicken was there or not. Heath himself wasn't particularly concerned. The only problem was whether the Golden Chicken could be used to complete his mission achievement.

Although Heath knew that leaving behind either the eggs or the chicken would have some impact on the world, since the reappearance of an animal thought to be extinct would be big news, and it wouldn't be difficult for Heath to make a fortune from it, Heath wasn't short of money right now. His only purpose in bringing out the golden chicken was to achieve something for himself, and even Celebi had given him this instruction, which meant that if he did something that violated the laws of spacetime, it would be very dangerous.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll kill it now." Heath looked at the chicken in front of him and smiled. Killing a chicken is a very simple thing for a chef, but it can be a bit difficult for some chefs. However, Heath himself used to help his grandfather kill chickens and pigs in the village, so dealing with a chicken is very easy for him.

However, Heath was still a bit conflicted about what to do with the golden chicken, so he simply took out the ingredient analyzer and decided to see what its evaluation would be.

Golden chicken, poisonous yet edible, is a very special type of poultry. Its skin and feathers are poisonous and must be completely removed before consumption. It tastes delicious, but it is not suitable for grilling, as grilling will make the meat tough and extremely unpalatable.

Heath raised an eyebrow. So, this golden rooster was quite interesting. It was the first time Heath had ever seen poultry with poisonous skin and feathers. Most poultry skin and feathers weren't poisonous, but this thing was. Heath admired the person who dared to eat the golden rooster. After all, if Heath had known that a chicken's skin and feathers were poisonous, he certainly wouldn't have tried to process it. Who knew if the chicken's meat was poisonous too?

Heath was also curious about how such a poisonous yet delicious food as pufferfish was discovered and served on people's tables. However, Heath felt that the story behind it was probably not so pleasant. After all, Heath knew humans very well. Unless they were truly desperate and would starve to death if they didn't eat, they probably wouldn't eat something they didn't recognize. Pufferfish was very likely discovered by some poor people who were starving because they couldn't afford to eat anything else, and who knew it would taste so good.

Fortunately, this is a chicken. Heath stroked his chin. Generally speaking, the main poultry that humans eat are chickens and ducks. Among them, duck skin is a delicacy. In fact, the famous Peking duck in China in his previous life mainly eats the duck skin. Dip it in sweet bean sauce, put it on a pancake, and add some green onions according to personal taste. The taste is absolutely amazing. Chicken skin is not very similar to duck skin.

If duck skin is considered plump and delicious, then chicken skin is more about a unique flavor. Moreover, neither chicken nor duck skin tastes very good when boiled. Chicken skin is best suited for either deep-frying or grilling, as these two methods produce the best flavor. Other methods are not particularly suitable. Roasted chicken skin is even more special.

Watching Hiss busy slaughtering chickens, Shirabi curiously rested her chin on her hand and looked at Hiss with a strange expression in her eyes. Although she knew of that great being, this was truly the first time she had seen that great being. Moreover, that great being had just appeared when she was about to refuse, making it hard not to wonder if that great being had some kind of relationship with Hiss.

“No wonder Sister Ho-Oh said Mr. Heath is a very skilled and unique chef.” Celebi stretched and prepared to leave. To make her dining environment more comfortable, Celebi had secretly used her spacetime powers to keep Heath’s food cart door closed. If she didn’t leave soon, no one else would come in to eat at Heath’s.

“But Mr. Heath is so gentle, he shouldn’t be angry, right?” Celebi gave a sweet smile. She was a little socially awkward and didn’t like crowded environments. If it weren’t for the fact that there were only two humans and a Meowth in the food cart, Celebi wouldn’t have chosen to come in. But thankfully, the food Heath made was indeed very delicious. Although it was all vegetarian, Celebi still had a unique feeling about it. Moreover, Heath was so unique. Celebi had traveled through different timelines, but strangely enough, there was no trace of Heath in either the past or the future. It was as if Heath only existed in this timeline.

At first, Celebi had some doubts, but later she no longer had any. After all, that great being was standing right behind Seath, so it was perfectly normal that the power of time had no effect on Seath. Celebi seemed to be deep in thought. She usually liked to wander around time and space and had witnessed some sad things, but that was also a kind of time. But now, Celebi felt that she wanted to stay in this world more, because this world had Seath and such a unique human being as Seath.

"Mr. Heath, I'm off now." Celebi waved happily, and Heath smiled and saw Celebi off. With Celebi around, the Golden Chicken problem in Golden City was solved. All that was left was to entertain the guests. However, looking at the Golden Chicken with its feathers removed, Heath fell into deep thought again.

“Chicken skin is also poisonous, so…” Heath’s lips twitched. Removing chicken skin is not an easy task.

Chapter 845 Mr. Shimizu's Joy

In the past, when Heath processed chickens, it was considered good if he could completely remove the feathers. After all, chicken feathers are not like the feather duster that many people think of, which is big and easy to pluck. In fact, some chicken feathers are very small and down-like. Although you can scald them with hot water and then heat them with a blowtorch, this will cause a problem: the root of the chicken feather will remain in the skin. If it is fried chicken, it is okay, but if it is boiled, the white chicken skin will be covered with black chicken feathers, which will reduce the appetite by more than a little.

This is probably a special phenomenon that only exists in modern society. Nowadays, an orange that is affected by pests and diseases often cannot be sold at the original price, and seeing rice weevils in rice will make people not want to eat. If it is in a restaurant, the owner will be asked to deal with it. But in the past, people could not be picky eaters. People were lucky to even survive. In the memories of Xiu Hui that Heath saw, Xiu Hui used to eat delicious food with insects in it, and it was considered a treat.

However, this is also a sign of social progress. If society hadn't progressed, it would have been very difficult to reach this point. The golden chicken in front of us has a similar problem. Although Heath has removed most of the feathers, there are still some troublesome feathers left.

The good news is that the skin of golden pheasants is also poisonous, so it needs to be removed, and there's no need to worry about that. The bad news is that removing the skin completely isn't so easy. It took Heath some effort to remove the skin completely. Although removing pheasant skin seems like a simple thing, it's actually not. Removing it completely is quite troublesome. In some places like the armpits, a small amount of skin can easily remain, so Heath had to make sure it was completely removed.

If it were a regular chicken, a little bit of skin left on it wouldn't affect its edibility. But Heath was dealing with a golden chicken, which was much more troublesome to prepare. Its skin was poisonous, which meant Heath had to completely remove all the skin. And Heath didn't just throw away the removed skin.

After all, Heath knew that the garbage disposal plant in Golden City was similar to those in other cities in the Alliance. This food waste could easily be turned into animal feed or something similar, and Heath didn't want to poison a large number of animals. If that happened, Heath would truly be committing a heinous crime.
