"Master, won't we offend people?" Kroen asked in a weak voice.
Dudian indifferently said: "If I offended you then I offended you. Just do it."
"Alright." Kroen didn't expect Dudian to be so persistent about food: "Should I ask Sergei to buy it now?"
"Tell Neuss to go with him." Dudian said: "Tell him to let the other party offer a price first. If he doesn't sell then we will rob him. I want to see if he has the guts to not sell."
"Okay, okay."
Kroen came to the hall and passed Dudian's words to Sergei and Neuss. Sergei asked: "Did he really say that he will rob if he doesn't sell?"
"Yes." Kroen was very sure.
Sergei was stunned: "I didn't expect him to be a foodie. Alright, I promise to bring it back for him." Sergei patted Neuss' shoulder and called him to take the horse. Both of them rode out of the castle and headed towards the Brandon family's territory.

"Lin 'er, is the hall ready?" Cage came down the stairs and looked at the busy attendants in the magnificent hall. He asked a tall girl who was talking to her maid.
The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a luxurious golden dress which was embellished with countless crystal lights. It was extremely dazzling. One didn't need to think to know that this expensive evening dress was made by a master tailor.
"Father, it's almost ready. We're just waiting for the guests to arrive." When Lin Na heard her father's words, she gracefully walked over with a smile on her face.
Cage laughed and said: "Your Uncle William is coming today. I heard that his son is now a second-level Knight of Light in the temple. He also likes Mr. Heminges' music, which is the same as you. You should talk more about it at the banquet."
Lin 'er's face turned red: "Dad, what are you talking about? Today's banquet is obviously prepared for you and uncle William to congratulate him for his promotion. How can it be related to me?"
"Silly child." Cage laughed.
At this time, a middle-aged butler in a black tuxedo quietly came out of the crowd. He bowed and said: "Master, there are two people outside who want to see you. They claim to be Master Dean's attendants."
"Master Dean?" Cage was surprised.
Lina's eyes lit up as she looked at the butler: "Is it the genius master Dean?"
The housekeeper said respectfully, "Yes, Miss."
"Is it really him?" Lina was a little excited. She grabbed Cage's hand and said, "Father, did you inform him? Is he also here to congratulate Uncle William?"
Cage was puzzled, but when he heard her words, his heart moved. He said to the housekeeper, "Let them in."
"Yes, Master." The butler turned and left.
Lin Na's eyes were filled with excitement as she looked at the back of the housekeeper. "Dad, it's my birthday in a few days. Can you invite Master Du to my birthday party? If he appears, my friends will be envious of me. I heard that Master Dean is not only skilled in divine arts, but he is also a Gold Knight. He is handsome and knows how to compose poems. He is perfect! "
Cage helplessly said, "Don't think too much about it. Our Brandon family can't climb up to such a person."
Lina slightly pouted as she heard her father pour cold water on her: "What are you thinking about? I didn't say that I want to find him. I'm his admirer. I just want to see him in person."
Cage helplessly shook his head and didn't say anything. At this moment, the butler returned from outside, followed by two tall and burly figures. One had golden hair, and the other had a burly figure. Judging from their clothes, they were indeed servants. He glanced at them and noticed that the two did not bring any gifts. His heart was slightly moved.
"Greetings, Mr. Brandon Cage." Sergei politely said as he came in front of Cage.
Cage smiled: "Both of you are too polite. Please sit down."
"No need." Sergei whispered as he saw that no one was paying attention to them: "Patriarch Cage, our young master asked us to visit you and ask for something."
"Ask for something?" Cage was slightly startled. He asked calmly, "What is it?"
"Tooth crab." Sergei calmly said: "Our young master has recently fallen in love with some delicious food. We have searched everywhere and heard that the last tooth crab in the market was bought by your servant. So we have come to ask for it. Patriarch Cage, please rest assured that we will pay three times the price for it. I hope you can help us."
Cage and Lina looked at each other. They never thought that the other person would come to ask for an ingredient.
"So he likes to eat toothed crabs …" Lin Na secretly noted this down, and her heart rippled.
Cage slightly frowned as he pondered. Nowadays the situation outside was in constant turmoil. He knew that this talented young master was the main force that defeated the Mellon consortium. Every time a behemoth fell, the dust would cover the eyes of many people. However, the Brandon family was a powerful family. They knew what kind of changes would occur in the pattern of the commercial district.
"Patriarch?" Sergei asked again as he saw that Cage didn't speak.
Cage took a look at him and hesitated for a while. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Go back and tell Master Du that this is an item for tonight's banquet. I'm sorry that I can't resell it. If Master Du likes it, I'll find it in a few days and send it to him."
Sergei raised his eyebrows: "Patriarch, you are too stingy. We are only asking for an ingredient. Moreover we are asking for three times the price. Is the face of our young master so worthless? Or are you not going to give him face? "
Lina didn't expect her father to refuse. She pulled her father's arm: "Dad, give it to them. We can replace it with something else."
"No." Cage's attitude was tough: "This is the rule of our family. Moreover, the menu has been published. How can we change it at will?"
Sergei narrowed his eyes: "Is that so? Patriarch, can you let us see the tooth crab? Isn't this request too much? "
Cage's face softened: "No problem. I will personally take you to see it." He turned around and led the way.
Sergei winked at Neuss. Neuss understood and said: "I'll wait for you here."
Sergei nodded and followed Neuss to the kitchen.
Cage ordered the chef to bring out the tooth crab.
Sergei looked at it. It was a black crab with a big head. The difference between it and ordinary crab is that it has sharp teeth. It specializes in eating underwater fish. It can even eat big fish. Because of this, the cost of raising it is very expensive. Moreover, it is easy to have accidents when fishing. Therefore, it is rare in number. Only a few people are willing to breed it. Most of the tooth crabs are wild in the radiation area or in some desolate lakes.
"It's cute." Sergei reached out to touch it.
Cage raised his eyebrows. He felt that the servant's behavior was somewhat frivolous.
At this time, Sergei quickly grabbed the box containing the tooth crab. He easily knocked away the two chefs next to him. He turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night.
Cage was stunned.
All of this happened as fast as lightning. He didn't react for a long time. After Sergei ran for some distance, he recovered. He couldn't help but shout: "Catch him!"
The surrounding servants immediately chased after him.
Sergei's speed was extremely fast. He directly jumped over the wall of the manor.
Whoosh!
A figure quickly chased after him.
Sergei looked back and laughed: "If you can catch up then I will give it to you." He quickly entered the street outside.
The figure chased after him at full speed. His speed was comparable to Sergei's. He stopped for a moment and turned back to the castle. He didn't want to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
That night, there was a sensational news from the Brandon family. Someone had robbed the food for the banquet. The person claimed to be Dean's servant.
Under the cover of the night, the news spread like a spider's web through the intricate and complicated intelligence network.
