What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company? - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: This Is The Start Of Something
They managed to get five people to follow them back here.

They didn’t even need to tie them up and it seems like they followed them back here willingly.

Although that’s not saying they were completely compliant since two of them looked like they were ready to kill the next person they came across while the other three just looked to be really anticipating the food they were promised.

“Where’s the food? You’re not lying to us, are you?” One of them asked, his hands twitching beside him.

Tyle brought out the pot to the dining room and placed it on one of the tables before gesturing to it, “It’s right here. Anyone who wants to eat will need to sit down at the table and be served. Anyone who causes trouble will be kicked out of here.”

Four of them quickly complied and sat down obediently at the table but one of them was looking at the pot with concern.

He turned to the three people that brought them here, “I just want to make sure… What you said about this being free is true, right?”

The woman nodded, “That’s right. We know that there are restaurants currently competing for having the best food right now. We wish to compete in that front so we would like to have some people try it out first to gather feedback.”

Damn… This woman is a natural schemer…

Technically she did not lie and we were really trying to compete with the other restaurants and we’re also getting feedback on Tyle’s food in this instance…

The only ‘lie’ she might have told is if she told them we were making organic food for them, but I have a feeling that she might have been lying by omission and claiming that we were just going to feed them ‘food’ instead.

Well… Not that it matters anyway since we’re not operating on telling truths here in the first place.

The last guy seemed satisfied by the explanation and went over to join the others at the table.

I stood at the side with Amber and the rest as we watched Tyle fill up five bowls to pass to the newcomers, all of them immediately wolfing down the food as soon as they got them.

The three people who only looked like they were anticipating the food finished eating first, all of them looking satisfied with what they just ate.

“Oh! That’s pretty good!”

“Yeah! It even helped me quell my cravings too!”

“This is the best food I have ever eaten in my entire life!”

Right at that moment, the last two slammed their bowls down and one of them growled at Tyle, “This isn’t good enough!! It didn’t… It didn’t stop the hunger!! I need more!”

The other even climbed on top of the table to shout at Tyle, “Give me the rest!! I need the rest!!”

Oh damn… Those two must have a more severe addiction to the drug than the other three… And just having a single bowl of it might not have been enough for them…

I thought Tyle would back away from them but he surprisingly held his ground and pointed an accusatory finger at the two men.

“I recall saying anyone who causes trouble will be kicked out. Sit down or else I’ll go through with my promise.”

One of them pulled out a gun from his waist to point at Tyle, “Was that a threat? Do you think you’re in a position to threaten me?! I’ll show you!!”

*BANG!*

The sound of a gunshot rang through the air followed by a body hitting the ground.

I gaped at the guy that was now dead, his gun clattering onto the ground near his body as blood poured out through the bullet hole on his head.

What the fuck?

Tyle nodded a thanks at the woman who shot the guy, her gun already trained on the second guy who was still staring at the corpse in shock.

“I said that we will kick out anyone who causes trouble here but I never said anything about being kicked out while you are alive,” Tyle pointed out while he refilled another four bowls of stew calmly. “So unless you want to join that guy over there, I suggest you sit back down.”

The other two men who had eaten my food immediately came forward and picked up the corpse to move out of the dining room, almost like they had planned this ahead of time.

The woman on the other hand, still maintained her stance of pointing her pistol at the last guy who realised his current position and slowly sat down.

“Don’t… Don’t kill me…” He begged.

Tyle nodded, “Don’t worry. As I said, only troublemakers get kicked out. We are serious in wanting to test out our food so if you want more, you just need to ask instead of trying to threaten us for it.”

He then handed out the newly filled bowls to the four terrified guests, all of them now a little hesitant in eating the food as compared to before.

Ok, at this point my thoughts finally caught up to me as I got over the surprise I had from seeing a dude get shot right in front of me by someone I didn’t think would be capable of it in the first place.

Then I remembered where I was and I guess with how Tyle and the others acted, this might be something that happened on a regular basis around here.

Heck, the last time I went to that night club owned by the Rattlers, I witnessed the guards literally dragging a corpse out as well.

So for all I know, those four might also be prepared to fight back if it weren’t for the fact that they were in a pretty bad spot to even consider doing that right now.

They were not only outnumbered but also surrounded if you factored in myself and my girls and I’m pretty sure these people aren’t friends.

So if any of them were to try something, they might be fighting all of us alone and those odds were definitely bad.

But just as I was about to go and ask the woman if they actually planned this ahead of time, Tyle came up to me after letting the four remaining guests eat the stew.

“Forgive me, Tera… But could I trouble you to help me with another batch of the food? More specifically, to help me with the sauces? I want to try another batch where I make it completely on my own on a new group of people. And just in case, I think we could also use a batch of your own cooking in case mine isn’t enough and the new batch of people get violent…”

I raised an eyebrow at him before looking in the direction of the table, “What about them?”

Amber leaned forward and gave me a peace sign, “Don’t worry, Tera! We’ll take ca– We’ll watch over them! You can count on us!”

I would be worried with just Amber watching them but since Lea and the others are also here, I guess it should be alright…

I turned back to Tyle, “I don’t mind doing that but I just want to know why you’re trying so hard right now though? We were supposed to use organic food for this plan in the first place right? So why not hold off on this and wait until we get a batch of them before continuing?”

“Firstly, we don’t know when the organic ingredients would arrive and every day that passes, the situation gets worse. If I can save as many people as I can now, I would like to do so instead of just sitting around and doing nothing.”

I really wanted to point out that he was perfectly fine with sitting around and doing nothing before I started investigating this case but I kept my mouth shut.

He continued, “Secondly, this might sound stupid but watching you cook again has reinvigorated my cooking spirit and I would like to learn as much as I can from you before you leave. I sincerely believe that your cooking is able to change this entire station and possibly even bring everyone together if they can taste it. Naturally, I won’t ask you to stay here to do that, that’s why I’m taking it upon myself to do it in your stead while crediting you for it.”

Wow, that’s quite a noble idea he has there.

I’ll admit that I have no qualms about just leaving the station as it is and I wouldn’t even look back if the gang war intensified and this station went to shit. But I guess for people like him who actually live here, he has an incentive to actually make this place better.

Considering the fact that I would obtain a way to get passive income if his idea takes off, I guess I should just help him as much as I can to reap the benefits later.

Alright, to the kitchen then~
