Oh Mr General - Chapter 226

After Sato had finished up with his meeting, he dropped a message to Li Ming telling him that he would be leaving for the day. Li Ming saw the message and acknowledged it. Ming knew that the meeting must’ve been taxing on his best friend’s body. Indeed, Ming’s thought process was spot on. Talking for 3 whole hours was comparatively more tiring for the speaker than the listeners. Right now, all Sato wants to do is to head back home and take a good rest.

Before then, Sato directed Madel who was driving the car. “Let’s go for lunch. I’m craving some Ramen.”

“Where would you like to go for Ramen, Master Sato?” Madel asked. She too was new to Country U and did not know of many places in their current city.

“Mm, one moment. Hey Link, could you recommend me some places near me that sells delicious ramen?” Sato called out to his Mark phone and the Artificial Intelligence in the phone, named Link, lit up to listen to its owner’s request.

Within a few seconds, the AI on the phone had already popped up several recommendations. “The closest location that sells ramen has a 5-star rating online. The price range is between 20 to 30 dollars.”

“Sure. Transfer the location to the car’s GPS.” As instructed, the Mark X5 had the location transferred onto their car. Such seamless actions were perfected between the two companies, SYMBOL and Gale Foundations. The Gale cars all now have pairable functions that work in tandem with the electronics made in SYMBOL. This was the power of having owned two companies of high influence. If combined, such bonus perks would attract a larger number of users and consumers.

Sato did not think twice when it came to spending money. He wasn’t one that was too subconscious about money. Over the years, he had become more or less accustomed to this lifestyle. So long as he did not overstep his boundaries and spent mindlessly, the young man would enjoy his life for what it was worth.

“I will head over there now, Master Sato. I suggest that you should take a break. The drive over would take 30 minutes approximately.” Even though Sato had search for a ramen bar near him, the distance was still far as the Black Box company was located near the outskirts of the city. Most of the things around there were industrial companies and so, the food was subpar.

“Alright.” Sato did not stand on ceremony and proceeded to take a nap. Within a minute, the young man knocked out. He did not sleep particularly well last night and today’s meeting had drained his remaining energy.

Madel tried her best to drive at a fast, but constant speed. She wanted what was best for her master. Over the past four years, she had watched Sato pull off impossible hours on creating his product. She, herself, tried her best to keep up with the young man and many times, even the war-experienced veteran was unable to curb her tiredness. Sometimes, Sato would just ask her to sleep first as he would only be working for an hour more. However, that hour would turn from one to a whole another day. When Gray had asked her about Sato’s well-being, the lady had no choice and had come clean to Gray that Sato had been working non-stop for three days. It was then Gray would step in and try to pacify his husband to take some breaks. If he wouldn’t listen, Gray would pop by and force him to sleep by his side.

During this time, Madel’s respect for her master had slowly risen to the point of reverence. At first, when she was tasked with protecting Sato during the UHRP event, all she thought of Sato was that he was weak and had managed to grab ahold of the young master of the Tobion Family. Yet, that notion was duly wrong as she witnessed Sato’s prowess when it came to working. The man was an outright workaholic that surpassed Gray and anyone she had ever met before. To make things crazier, the young man was basically self-taught in many aspects and he had achieved greater heights without much guidance.

Now, all Madel wanted to do was to protect and aid her master as best as she could. She herself wanted to see how far Sato could go and it would be an honor for her to serve by his side.

As predicted by the GPS, the car arrived at the Ramen bar in thirty minutes. Madel woke up her employer as she asked respectfully, “Master Sato, would you like for me to order takeaway for you?”

Sato looked outside and saw how authentic the store was. The walls were wooden that extended inwards. There was linen cloth that hung from the ceiling down that covered half of the entrance. On the top of the Ramen bar, a large wood piece had the words “Yokohama” written in Japanese. Clearly, it was written as the place of origin for this ramen store. Immediately, Sato was entranced by the aesthetic and was reminded on the time when he and Gray were in Country J together. The Ramen bar in Country U was very similar to what he had experienced in Country J. Thinking about it, he decided, “Let’s just have our meal inside.”

“Understood, let me proceed inside first to check out the restaurant.” Madel suggested, to which Sato did not declined her gesture.

The lady dressed in her business suit walked in confidently and gave off an air of coldness. As she got closer to the ramen bar, the delicious strong-smelling broth entered her nose and she was surprisingly stirred up by the aroma. Outside of the store, Madel noticed that there was a young girl that was standing outside and peaking inside. The young girl’s mouth was watering. Her eyes were closed as she continued to sniff in the deep smelling aroma from the broth.
