After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 707

Baltimore’s team met up later that night after going around on their own. After all, they were all big men, how odd it was to see big men going around together as if on a leisure trip?

However, this investigatory trip that should’ve been straightforward lasted much, much, longer than expected.

Baltimore looked at his men who were now facing him in the private room of the premier restaurant. They were standing by the door while Baltimore alone sat on the table.

Everyone was silent for a while and didn’t speak. When the waiter arrived to deliver their food, he flinched, not sure what to make of it.

Baltimore sighed, rubbing his temple.

"Enter."

"A-Ah yes," he said, entering, and arranging the beautifully-plated food on the table. Even from just the appearance, one could tell this was superior to the food outside—which was already mouthwatering in and of themselves.

Baltimore frowned when he saw his men shift attention towards the food, looking greedy for it.

"Are you idiots?" Baltimore asked as soon as the waiter left. The men flinched and kneeled, apologizing.

He had waited here alone for almost half a day.

As a lord, he naturally never did the investigation himself. He went to ask where the best restaurant was and waited there after paying a premium amount for not having a ’reservation’.

He was annoyed at first for being treated like everyone else, but he was too curious—especially when he saw the food being placed on the tables—so he did not make a scene.

In the end, his slave-servant Piko paid the people in the queue a hefty amount so he didn’t have to line up. He had to admit the food was indeed mouthwatering, and he couldn’t help but start ordering as soon as he was seated.

It was easily the best meal he had eaten.

There were even special effects for a majority of the meals!

Surprisingly, when he asked to meet the chef, he was too busy to appear in front of him.

"How rude…" Piko mumbled, swearing pain to the entire restaurant.

"Now, now," Baltimore said calmly, but the darkness in his eyes betrayed his sadistic tendencies.

"Didn’t you read the rules? The lord here obviously invested a lot on the rules."

Piko sneered, "Which are useless during wars, milord."

"Exactly," he said, eyes looking at the empty plates. "When we wage war, nothing will stop us from doing whatever we wanted." _{freewёbnoνel.com}

He didn’t speak for a moment and looked out the translucent window made from youli stone. He didn’t even know it could be used like this.

"I’ll stay here, you go order your food outside."

Piko’s eyes brightened, looking forward to this order since they entered. "Thank you, milord!" he said and went out, eating his heart out.

This was several hours ago.

While Baltimore enjoyed the food, it didn’t mean, however, that he was willing to wait beyond the stipulated time.

These men better have a lot of things to report.

And when he saw them stealing glances at the food, he wanted to throw them to monster mobs then and there.

"Report."

"Yes, milord!"

It was Treck who spoke first. Among the men around Baltimore, Treck was actually the weakest one at level 15. However, he was the leading man during wars, at least until he remained at this level.

In fact, Treck should have leveled up a long time ago, but he enjoyed wars where he could crush his enemies and wanted to participate actively in them.

"First of all, there seems to be… no lord."

Baltimore frowned as he looked at him. He saw the others’ reactions and knew they gathered the same.

"How did the rules and changes come to be then?"
