Many people thought that the crowd and the custors would quickly get tired of McTony's fried chicken. No matter how unique, novelty would quickly wear off if one was indulging in it every single day.
But surprisingly, people who bought from McTony's on the 2nd day of the Feast were still continuing to purchase from them on the 4th day, and probably onwards as well!
This was because McTony's was doing well in innovating themselves. For example, the RC Soda and the Ice Cream selections could be specialties all on their own.
In fact, if they had their own restaurants, then they would probably have the sa level of success as McTony's at this current mont! But the fact that those unique foods could only be found in one place bode well for their longevity, especially in the Feast.
For the Upper Echelons and the Conglorates who had underestimated the Reborn company, they beca completely gobsmacked when the fourth day ended.
At the end of the day, the Reborn company had earned a total of 12.4 million tokens!
"This… this is impossible!"
"They've basically jumped to the top 20th spot in one go!"
"They must be cheating!"
No one had done as big of a jump as they did. Of course, many of the disgruntled Upper Echelon companies who lost a spot because of him complained instantly.
"Surely this must be out of the rules."
"They're taking custors from outside the Feast! That must be grounds for disqualification."
"They're not even a restaurant anymore. They've turned their stall into a giant kitchen!"
The Zentister Patriarch listened to all the complaints of his fellow Upper Echelon leaders. But even if he was the victim of Reborn's upheaval, he knew that they had absolutely no basis for this accusation.
"Friends… you must ta your anger," the Zentister Patriarch said. "Unfortunately, everything that they have done has complied with the rules of the Feast."
"That's—"
And before they could explain, Zentister raised his hand at them and shook his head.
"I'm sure you do not want to refute that. Lord Vought does not take kindly to those who disparage his reputation."
If they accused the strict Draconian of favoritism, then they just might find themselves destroyed in the middle of the night.
"But how is the Reborn company doing this? We do not understand how that kiosk works. They're not using magic!"
"How are they connected with each other if not for magic?"
"Could it be… this phone that's been going around?!"
These Upper Echelon leaders were not dumb. They imdiately understood the implications of such an invention.
"If this continues… the Reborn company will outpace us…"
Before things went any further, the Zentister Patriarch warned everybody.
"I must remind everybody that it is unbecoming of our stature to fight a company many years our junior."
So pursed their lips, so fought back.
"But they willingly put themselves into our competition. It is only natural that we treat them as a proper enemy. No holding back."
The Zentister Patriarch crossed his arms and shook his head. "Even so. This is New Sparta. There are a lot of eyes watching our every movent. Joseph has implied that the Great Lion is watching this Feast. If you move now, you'll only give him a weakpoint that he'd exploit to defeat you.
Not only that, but I need to remind you that the Montgorys are also present in New Sparta. Xere's granddaughter herself is with the Reborn company. Now, Xere herself wouldn't favor them because of that, but she would surely enforce the rules of fairness and justice. If she finds out that you're trying to underhandedly fight against Reborn, she'll persecute you."
After hearing the Zentister Patriarch's warning, everyone in the room couldn't help but realize sothing.
The Reborn company seed to be connected to so really big nas! If they wanted to fight against the Reborn company, then they had to do it fairly.
The Zentister Patriarch nodded to everyone in the room. "Now we must show our juniors how Upper Echelons maintain our strengths. If he wants to surpass us, then he must do so with great trouble.
Tomorrow, a Heavenly Knight will appear in new Sparta. The Blind Swordmistress has shown interest in creating a friendly exhibition match amongst the youngsters.
Surely, it will gather a crowd not unlike that of the Mystic Master's lectures. Possibly even more. That is where we will strike."

The next day, Michael and the Rebornians were in a great mood.
Now, yesterday was very hectic for everyone. The delivery riders, orators, musicians, artists, and other Maugnetics worked all day to make sure that the restaurant's new kiosk system was widely spread to the general public.
But perhaps the one who had it the hardest were none other than the chefs.
Tony and Remy had bags under their eyes. After all, they still had to prepare the chicken and other ingredients early in the morning before they started their cooking.
Thankfully though, this has caused them to surpass their limit and finally advance their cultivation. They jumped right past the 2nd stage and went over to the 3rd stage!
The father-son chef duo found themselves rejuvenated upon advancing. They were more than excited to start the day!
"Okay, our ga plan for the fifth day will remain the sa," said Castelle to their group. "We will—"
But before she could finish her words, a shadow appeared right in front of her.
The two Orc Chieftains ascended.
"BU TO TO!"
"RAH TA TA!"
Michael imdiately knew sothing had happened. "What's wrong?"
"We found a few troublemakers, boss Michael. They're targeting our kiosks," said Narito.
Michael expected this. With the Kiosk being such an attention-grabber, it was inevitable that soone tried to sabotage them.
Thankfully, the Shadow Orcs were more than capable of dealing with it.
"We're on it!" said the Shadow Orcs.
Michael overlooked the entire situation with one of his Mini Drones. And there, he saw a group of hooligans prodding the kiosk quite roughly.
