Chapter 1696: Dinner One

Anderson glanced at Kiki and said, "I'm not hungry. Eat by yourself."Kiki's face drooped, and she rubbed her stomach, looking disappointed.Joyce glanced at Luther, realizing that she couldn't refuse whenReuben suggested having dinner. After all, everyone deserved acelebration after surviving the ordeal.

Luther narrowed his eyes slightly. "Alright, there's a top-grade wagyubarbecue place nearby. It's only a five-minute walk. Let's go together."Kiki jumped up happily. “That's great! I want to eat grilled meat. Is thatokay? I'm so hungry."

She walked up and hooked her arm with Anderson's.

Anderson couldn't break free and looked at Joyce, saying, "Mommy..."Joyce smiled. "Anderson, let's go eat together. Just bear with her alittle. Kiki had a fright today."

Kiki nodded repeatedly. "I was so scared.”

Anderson rolled his eyes, feeling helpless, and didn't say anythingmore.

Reuben bowed respectfully and thanked Luther. "Mr. Warner, pleaselead the way."

The group arrived at a high-end Japanese barbecue restaurant not farfrom the police station.

Luther requested the largest private room by the window. Inside, theroom was exquisitely decorated in a Japanese style, with clean bluetatami mats and unique decorations in every corner.

The private room was independent with transparent floor-to-ceilingwindows on all sides. Outside the windows, lights illuminated a smallJapanese garden with white pebbles, green plants, and stonedecorations, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Sitting in the private room felt like being in a Japanese garden.Reuben made a phone call to Torrance on the way and brieflyexplained the situation. Then he called Grizela and told her to comeimmediately.

Upon arriving, everyone took their seats in the private room.

Darrin didn't want to join them. He stood dutifully by the door. He hadmade a mistake earlier and couldn't afford to make any more.

Joyce finished ordering the food and walked over to Darrin. "Aren't yougoing to join us for dinner? It won't be dangerous. The private room isseparate, and if anything happens, everyone will be able to see it."Darrin stood at attention. "It's my duty. I can't slack off."

Joyce felt helpless, letting a Colonel and a participant in the warlordselection guard the door as a bodyguard. She couldn't help but feelguilty.

But Darrin insisted on protecting her.

She shook her head and returned to her seat.

The small dishes started to arrive, filling the table.

Joyce picked up tempura and served it to Anderson and Kiki.

The two children were indeed hungry and ate voraciously.

The grill was set up, and Reuben took the initiative to grill the wagyu foreveryone.

Joyce sat across from Luther.

Luther watched Reuben skillfully flip the meat on the grill and suddenlyasked, "Are you from Rohomes?"

Joyce was taken aback. She hadn't told Luther about Reuben in detail,and her introduction on the way here was brief.

Reuben hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes."

Luther's expression changed slightly. “The way you're grilling the meatseems very familiar. And..."

He didn't continue, but Reuben’s movements exuded an elegance thatrevealed his noble lineage. In Rohomes, Reuben must be a person ofpower.

This inherent elegance, cultivated from childhood, indicated a noble oreven royal background.

Thinking of this, Luther narrowed his eyes and fell into contemplation.
