Outside the North Train Station in Golden Port City, Luca sat in an unremarkable roadside restaurant, wearing a set of casual clothes.
He was also wearing a pair of sunglasses today, so that even those who knew him might not recognize him without looking closely.
Moreover, since the North Station straddles the Silin District and the Valley District, far from the port area he frequented, he was unlikely to encounter any acquaintances here.
He sat down in a small eatery specializing in "stewed beef rice," where they would buy beef scraps and stew them until they were perfectly tender.
With a casual poke of the chopsticks, the meat would completely disintegrate into fine fibers.
Potatoes, some tomatoes, and a small amount of wheat were added. When someone ordered, they'd serve a large bowl of rice topped with a generous spoonful of beef, potatoes, and the like, doused in a thick, savory sauce.
