Chapter 368 You need to keep up with the times

The Bell family resides in a majestic manor villa, located in the western part of Rochester.

In those years, Daniel Bell and Charles Turner each bought one, with similar specifications.

For Maria, this was her first visit to such a grand estate.

In today’s society, where land is extremely expensive, a manor villa like this is valued at least several million dollars.

As a small bar owner, Maria had never had the chance to step into such a costly area before.

Bella had mentioned that there weren’t many people at home, but as they drove along the winding mountain road, they could already see patrolling security.

When they actually reached the entrance of the estate, there was a team of security guards in full readiness, guarding the place.

William didn’t need to look around to sense that there were two more “Chosen Ones” within the estate, with one of them surprisingly near Daniel Bell.

Daniel Bell was William’s servant, and though his life was nearing its end, he had some connection to William.

The entity William expelled from his body really didn’t spare anyone close to him.

Or perhaps, it was deliberately trying to provoke William into a murderous rage.

Regrettably, William’s temperament now was far more mellow than before.

Loneliness can make a person irritable, but it can also bring calmness and reflection.

With William’s current mental state, it was nearly impossible for him to become as enraged as he used to be, capable of destroying the world with a single palm strike.

Even facing those “Chosen Ones,” whether William chose to kill them or not depended entirely on his mood at the moment.

They were like ants by the roadside, and if he really wanted to kill them, it would only take a thought.

That’s why William completely ignored Bella’s driver, Felix, throughout the journey.

As Bella said, the other members of her family were not home, only her grandfather Daniel Bell was there.

The last time William saw Daniel Bell was at Brian Bell’s birthday party.

Bella led William to the kitchen, introduced him to the housekeeper, and then went to find her grandfather.

The Bell family’s kitchen spans over 800 square feet, equipped with various utensils and appliances, from knives to mixers, and even baking pans. Every cooking tool available is of the utmost professional quality.

The ingredients William requested were also purchased by the housekeeper and placed in the kitchen.

William began teaching Maria how to cook. All 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n(.)c𝒐m

“Apart from the Herbal Breeze Lamb Broth, I’ll teach you how to make Sole Piccata and Beef Bourguignon. For now, preparing these three dishes should suffice,” William said with a smile. “We’ll limit sales to ten servings per day, and set a higher price.”

He had visited the Savor Sanctuary restaurant with Alice previously and believed that attracting a large number of customers wasn’t necessary; what mattered was creating a unique style.

By limiting availability and raising prices, the restaurant would not only gain prestige, but Maria wouldn’t be overworked.

“Will this approach really work?” Maria was somewhat skeptical. Sole Piccata and Beef Bourguignon were dishes that other restaurants could prepare too.

“There’s no problem as long as the taste is good enough,” William reassured her while starting to show Maria how to make the Herbal Breeze Lamb Broth.

At that moment, the driver Felix sneaked into the kitchen and knocked out the housekeeper.

Maria, focused on William’s cooking instructions, didn’t notice another person had entered the kitchen.

Felix, now dressed in different clothes and wearing a ghost mask, stood behind William and Maria with a blade in hand, his eyes gleaming maliciously, ready to eliminate William, whom he perceived as a rival in love.

However, just as he raised his blade to strike a fatal blow, William slightly curved the corner of his mouth. Felix trembled, his eyes became vacant, and he turned and walked out, seemingly soulless.

This inevitably caused some noise.

Maria turned to look but only saw his retreating figure. “What’s he doing here?” she asked absentmindedly.

“Who knows? With such a large household like the Bells, he’s probably a patrolling security guard,” William casually responded.

“Okay,” Maria said, no longer concerned, and continued to learn cooking from William.

Shortly after Felix left, he went to the bathroom and plunged a knife into his own heart.

With their mental strength, facing someone with an overwhelming psychic power like William, they would die exactly how William willed them to.

Actually, if he hadn’t harbored a killing intent towards William, at most William would have just stripped him of all his abilities. But he insisted on courting death, so who can he blame?

Unbeknownst to Maria, a homicide had just occurred at the Bell estate.

When Felix’s body was discovered, the news was immediately reported to Bella, who ultimately chose to call the police.

The Bell family is a legitimate business family, and a violent incident at home couldn’t be kept hidden without reporting.

However, after the police arrived and collected evidence, they unanimously determined it to be a suicide, ruling out the possibility of homicide.

For the Bell family, Felix’s incident was just a minor episode.

Even after receiving the news, Daniel Bell didn’t think it was a big deal.

For him, the most important news was that William was at his house, cooking!

This was more shocking than news of a death in the house!

Daniel Bell delegated the handling of the homicide to his butler and proceeded alone to the kitchen door. After composing his excited emotions, he gently knocked on the door.

“Come in!” William called out faintly as he continued cooking.

Upon entering, Daniel Bell seemed to revert back to his younger self in William’s presence.

Maria, turning around and seeing Daniel, was momentarily startled and greeted him, “Hello, sir.” She mistook him for a butler of the Bell family.

Daniel smiled and said, “You are Bella’s friend Maria, right?” Hearing Daniel refer to Bella in such a way surprised Maria, who nodded and nervously asked, “And you are?”

“I’m Bella’s grandfather. You can call me Mr. Bell,” Daniel replied. “Miss Maria, may I ask you to step out for a moment?”

“Of course!” Maria quickly left the kitchen without even washing her hands.

The mere presence of Daniel Bell, a legendary figure, had understandably made her nervous.

After Maria left, Daniel looked at William, his voice trembling, “Sir… How can you be doing this?”

William simply smiled, “Why not?”

Daniel was at a loss for words. Was there anything that William needed his guidance to do?

“Rest outside,” William suggested with a smile. “You used to cook for me, now let me prepare a meal for you.”

Daniel Bell had only been a servant to William, who had not taught him as much as he had taught Alice. Nevertheless, considering their past master-servant relationship and Daniel’s diminishing life force, William did not mind cooking a meal for him.

Daniel swallowed hard, his voice strained, “How can I… a mere servant, deserve this?”

William waved his hand dismissively, “As I said when I was at your house last time, we are no longer in a master-servant relationship. It’s the 21st century now,you need to keep up with the times.”
