Chapter 990 - You Have To Kiss And Hug Her, And Raise Her Above Your Head
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
That night, many didnât sleep in Chaos City.
The powerful magic casters were wandering around the slums and lanes at the north of the city. They were scanning the surroundings at the full expense of their spiritual powers. Many courtyards with high walls were barged into, and human traffickers who were deep in their slumber were taken away. The abducted children were brought to the city lordâs castle.
The city lordâs castle was brightly lit through the entire night. The childrenâs cries were pacified gradually. The healing magic casters had tears in their eyes, and some even ran out to brawl their eyes out before going back to continue healing the children.
â¦
It was almost dawn when the tired-looking chief secretary came into the meeting room with a document folder. Facing Michael, who also didnât sleep the entire night, he said, âMy Lord, the cross search was fully completed with the coordination of the Gray Temple and the city lordâs castle. After deducting the 150 human traffickers who were killed by the man in black on the spot and the 342 children that he rescued, the following search resulted in apprehending 52 human traffickers and rescuing 61 abducted children. The children are all accepting healing right now. The healing magic casters have all done their very best to help their children regain their health, but there are still 120 children who will remain handicapped for the rest of their lives.â
Michael received the document and read through it carefully with a somber expression. He nodded. âThe search will carry on in secret. Continue to monitor and investigate suspicious people and locations. Make sure we donât miss out on anything.
âOrganize the childrenâs information and release it to the public as soon as possible. Find their parents for them and send them back home. The city lordâs castle will set up a special fund to raise those children nobody claims. They will be properly educated, and when they grow up, they will have the skills to make a living for themselves.
âAt the same time, we have to improve the emergency response mechanism for missing children. Once we receive a case of missing children, the city lordâs castle and Gray Temple must respond actively and plan necessary deployment to find the children as soon as possible.
âAnd arrange a meeting with Rolan for me. With regard to human traffickersâ penalties, I feel there is a need to introduce a law amendment in Chaos City. I need to discuss it with him.â
âYes.â The chief secretary jotted down everything rapidly in his personal notebook. He paused, and asked Michael, âA law amendment would require both the city lordâs castle and Gray Temple to vote. May I ask how much you think the punishment should be increased?â
âThey donât even spare the innocent children. Death penalty is the minimum,â Michael said solemnly.
âYes.â The chief secretary nodded.
âOh, yes. Didnât Boss Mag help an old man find his child who was kidnapped by human traffickers 25 years ago yesterday?â Michael said suddenly.
âYes. You had agreed to put up the missing-person notice on the notice boards earlier. Mr Mag had come to the city lordâs castle again yesterday to notify us that the old man had already found his child. Therefore, we had removed the missing-person notice and released a new notice.â The chief secretary nodded.
Michael nodded thoughtfully. âAdd in Mamy Restaurant into my schedule. I am going to see Boss Mag.â
â¦
The citizens of Chaos City discovered in shock that all the little beggars, who were alway begging on the streets, had disappeared in one night.
This made those people who always gave to those children worried. They wondered if the poor children were frozen to death as the nights were starting to get colder.
â¦
Mag went to the little bed with a smile, and gently said, âLittle Amy, time to rise and shine. Wash and eat your breakfast, or else you will be late for class.â
Amy shook her head with her eyes closed, and said, âHmm~ Your little Amy is not awake.â
âThen what shall I do?â
âYour little Amy says you have to kiss and hug her. And raise her above your head before she will wake up,â Amy said with a naughty smile.
âAlright then.â Mag smiled helplessly as he bent over and kissed Amy lightly on her forehead.
âYour little cutie is already online.â Amy flicked open her eyes and stretched out her arms at Mag as she poutingly said, âI want you to hug and raise me above your head.â
âAlright,â Mag said indulgently with a smile. Then, he carried Amy up, raised her above his head, and gently lowered her down. He repeated the moves a few times.
âIâm flying! Iâm flying~â
Amyâs crystal clear giggles filled the room.
âMeow~â
Ugly Duckling, which was at the foot of the bed, was staring thoughtfully. It lay back on the ground, closed its eyes, and stretched out its two little paws.
Mag only lowered Amy after she had enough fun. Then, he took out the clothes that she was supposed to wear today.
Amy sat on the bed and trod on Ugly Ducklingâs belly gently as she said, âDonât play dead, Ugly Duckling, Get up now.â
âMeow, meow.â
Ugly Duckling twisted around with its eyes closed, seeking her favor.
âDonât you know what you look like?â Amy retrieved her little foot.
Ugly Duckling opened its eyes and gave Amy a gloomy glance before standing up and rubbing against Amyâs leg with its head.
Amy rubbed Ugly Ducklingâs head with her feet as she consoled, âItâs fine. Itâs not your fault that you are ugly. This is your fate.â
Itâs cold today, so Amyâs got to wear her padded jacket and bunny beanie. Mag brought a white down jacket and a little beanie over. After helping Amy change out of her pyjamas, he wrapped her up with the down jacket and put on the beanie for her.
The white bunny beanie had two cute droopy ears. The beanie could cover the ears nicely, and there were two white furballs that fell to her handsâ level. Wearing it together with the white down jacket made her look like a little white rabbit, which was so adorable.
Mag nodded with satisfaction as he felt that his dressing sense was getting back.
âMeow~â Ugly Duckling gazed at Amy in shock as it almost couldnât recognize her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFather, how do I look?â Amy asked expectantly.
âErm, very adorable.â Mag nodded.
âAmy wants to have a look too! Amy wants to have a look too!â Amy said excitedly.
âThen, Father will carry you.â Mag carried Amy to the bathroom.
âWow. Little bunny is so cute!â Amy looked at herself in the mirror with wide eyes. Then, she began to sing, âLittle bunny, white and chubby, two pointed earsâ¦â
âLittle Amy, you can try to pull those two furballs,â Mag said smilingly as he suddenly remembered something.
âThis?â Amy took one white furball and pulled.
The left bunny ear stood up.
âWow!â Amy blinked and stared at the pointed ear in amazement. Then, she grabbed the other and pulled it. The other ear stood up too.
Pull and release, and the bunny ears would rise and fall. Amyâs eyes widened as she made all sorts of cute expressions.
âItâs so fun and cute! Father, I really like this little bunny,â Amy said happily as she held Magâs face and gave him a kiss.
