Fate's Dark Side Chapter 665

I began to hope something would come up that would enable me to escape cooking that morning.

Amelia went to join the women in the dining room while I went to the kitchen.

It was a disaster. There was burnt toast and bacon. There was smoke in the air, so I figured they had just put out a grease fire. Dominic had pancake batter all over him. The fire extinguisher was close to the stove, and I wondered what had happened.

I noticed Max and Kyle mopping the floor while Andrew and Clay were cutting up fruits for salad. They seemed to know what they were doing, so I figured they picked a chore that suited them.

"Devin said we should surprise the women," Sylvester said with grease on his face, and I wanted to laugh.

Vino was with the juice maker squeezing oranges. He got the most straightforward job.

"What were you all planning?" I asked.

"Scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, garlic bread, butter beans.." Marcel started, and I stopped him.

"That is a bit much and too ambitious," I said, trying to wrap my head around it.

"The omegas plate the table like that all the time," Marcel said, and I could not believe these men. I could understand he would want to do his best for Avery, but this was too much.

"Let's just make sandwiches, orange juice, and water.." I said, determined to copy Amelia's recipes.

"Why didn't we think of that?" Dominic said, putting a partially burnt pancake on a plate.

"Were you going to serve that?" Devin asked Dominic, pointing at the dish, and Dominic nodded.

"It is better than the others," Dominic replied.

Devin shook his head.

He went to the plate and decided to taste the pancake. He spat it out immediately.

"Did you follow the recipe, Dominic?" He asked, and Dominic was surprised.

"Did you taste the batter?" Devin asked, and Dominic shook his head.

"I won't taste anything with raw eggs in it," Dominic replied, and everyone laughed. Theodore went to taste it and spat it out too.

Devin took the bowl and dumped the content down the sink drain.

"The salt and baking powder are too much. It is salty and bitter, Dominic." He said, and Dominic decided to take a bite of his creation.

He spat it out immediately.

Everyone laughed. He would have plated that on the table if it wasn't burnt. It would have been hilarious.

"I guess sandwiches would do at this point because I am tired, and we have so much to do," Sylvester said, and Dominic hit the back of his head.

"Next time, you better think things through before you drag us into shit. You might be king, but I am your big brother, and this is stupid," He said, complaining and blaming Sylvester.

We made various sandwiches, and I linked the Omegas to present the sandwiches at the table while we went to our rooms to clean up.

I returned to the dining room and was surprised the women were waiting.

My parents finally arrived and looked at the table.

"I guess we would be eating novice food this week." My mother said, eyeing the food on the table.

"The sandwiches don't look bad; I hope they taste better than they look," my father said, and we all laughed.

The others joined, and we ate.

The women enjoyed the sandwiches, and so did we.

I suspected Dominic would opt we make sandwiches for the rest of the week. We need to get out of the bet, or we will be underfed soon.

I noticed Amelia ate more than necessary and said it tasted delicious. My mother stared at her most of the time, but I pretended not to notice.

After breakfast, I linked Casper to bring me the letter that the arsonist left.

Casper arrived, and I was glad to find out that no one had died in the fire, and they were able to salvage some things, but most of the plant burnt down.

I told them to start renovations immediately because we needed to be able to produce Nitric acid in large quantities quickly. I also instructed them to have people guarding the place at all times.

I opened the letter, and it read.

"Smart move, Albert; say hello to Richardo and Martha for me. They were always a pain to deal with," It read, and I knew Yuri dictated the letter.

He might not have written it, but he dictated the letter.

I put the letter to my nose, and it smelled of smoke and Casper.

The person that wrote and delivered the letter must have equally set the fire, and he or she was cautious in the process.

I asked Casper to line up all our warriors. I would use the alpha command to get the truth out of them.

I told Sylvester of my plans, and everyone with a command decided to help me so it would be faster. Using the command to get the truth out of people violated their rights, but this was an emergency, and it wasn't personal.

My father told me the Sullivans would soon arrive. There was so much to do and little time. Max and Kyle went to help Casper organise the warriors while we prepared for the day.
