"Seems like the fight just now was a misunderstanding. The two guards from our Marquis Family have offended you in any way, and I hope this young lady can forgive them. We will also teach them well," Jonah said to Amy with a smile, displaying the bearing of a rich family's heir.
After that, she turned to look at Mag. Her smile faded, and she seriously said, "However, I'm afraid what Mr. Mag said isn't entirely true. I don't know why Miss Rena has the ownership certificate of this shop in her hands, because this shop originally belonged to the Marquis Family. It was under Bennett's name previously, but he was arrested for personal reasons. The Marquis Family will not protect or be biased toward him, but we can't let the properties and assets that belong to the Marquis Family slip away."
Everyone was deep in thought. If that was really the case, how did that Miss Raina get such a spacious and expensive shop? It was indeed suspicious.
"You can pretend that you don't know, but I'm going to tell you clearly now." Meg looked at Jonah, and coldly said, "Bennett was arrested by the Gray Temple because he was involved in dozens of murders and burials in gambling dens, manufacturing and selling potions, kidnapping, and other vicious crimes. And all his assets were obtained illegally. He used them to buy many shops and properties, and used irregular means to run a few industries that he monopolized in Chaos City.
These seemingly clean properties, shops, and teahouses were bought by him using his dirty money. The Marquis Family should know very well about their origins, right? Do you think you can fool everyone by saying that they belong to the Marquis Family? Do you think the Marquis Family is omnipotent, or do you think the Gray Temple is full of fools? "
"You …" Jonah's face turned pale, and he took two steps back instinctively. He looked at Meg with shock and panic in his eyes.
How did he know about all these?
During this period, the Marquis Family had spent a lot of effort and money to publicize the ownership of these properties and assets to the public, and to sever ties with Bennett. They didn't expect Meg to expose them in public.
As expected, there was an uproar among the onlookers. They had only heard that the owner of the "Ben" teahouse had been arrested, but they didn't expect it to involve such a terrifying crime.
As the second master of the Marquis family, Bennett was quite well-known.
Now that the Marquis Family wanted to take away all the properties that he had obtained illegally and claim that they belonged to the Marquis Family, they were not only taking advantage of him but also trampling on the Gray Temple's reputation.
"Me? Am I wrong? I believe the Gray Temple will announce the results of this matter soon. If the Marquis Family really has the ability to suppress this matter, then you can say that I'm spouting nonsense. Of course, I know you don't have that ability. " Meg smiled and looked at the flustered Jonah. He continued, "As for why the property deed of this shop is in Raina's hands, you must be puzzled, right? The Marquis Family's influence really doesn't deserve to be one of the four major families if they can't even get such information. "
"I …" Jonah's face flushed red. This fellow's mouth was really too irritating. He wanted nothing more than to stuff that smacking mouth of his.
"Don't be too nervous. This matter is definitely not something a little kid like you can make the decision." Meg smiled and comforted him. "Of course, if you really want to know why this shop belongs to Raina, you can go to the Gray Temple and ask. You don't have to be hypocritical and try to get information from them. I'll say it here today. This shop belongs to Raina now. If anyone tries to take it away and hurt her … "
"Then don't blame us for being rude! Hmph! I, Amy! Super fierce!!! " Amy casually continued Meg's words. She held her magic caster's staff with one hand and clenched her little fist with the other. Her big blue eyes were wide open as she spoke with a serious expression.
"Pfft … So cute!"
"Oh my god … This threat … I'm actually not afraid of it."
The onlookers couldn't keep their expressions straight.
Jonah frowned. In this situation, he had to do something. Otherwise, it might bring trouble to the family.
"Little Amy, didn't you say you have classes in the afternoon?" Just then, a hoarse voice came from outside. The crowd parted to make a path for an old man with half-white hair and an old magic caster's robe to walk in slowly.
"This is …?"
"The Lord of Ice, Julian!"
"What was supposed to be an adorable threat has suddenly become frightening …"
Everyone lowered their voices as they looked at Urien in awe and veneration.
Jonah's expression changed instantly. He immediately looked at Meg, and said, "I will report this matter to my father. I believe the city lord's castle will give a fair ruling. Before that, the Marquis Family will not appear here again."
After saying that, Jonah bowed respectfully to Urien, and quickly left with his subordinates.
"Are you leaving just like that? Let's fight for a while more, "Amy said enthusiastically to Jonah and the rest.
Everyone's footsteps quickened. They quickly got into the carriages and almost jogged away.
"Seriously, there's no one who can fight." Amy shook her head in disappointment. She turned to look at Julian, and immediately put on a cute smile. She kept her magic caster's staff, and smilingly said, "Master, why are you here?"
"I'm here to bring you to class," Julian said helplessly.
"Alright. Anyway, the bad guys have been beaten up. I'll skip class then." Amy nodded. Then, she waved at Meg and the rest. "Father, I'm going to class."
"Go on. Be good," Meg agreed with a smile.
"Mm-hmm." Amy nodded vigorously, and followed Julian in the direction of the magic potion shop.
The onlookers dispersed as well. However, the matter of Bennett being arrested was bound to become a topic of conversation for many people.
Julian's appearance was a strong deterrent, and successfully scared Jonah and the rest away.
Meg was not worried that the city lord's castle would side with the Marquis Family. Otherwise, Michael would be too much of a failure as the city lord. He would not agree. After this, no one would come to interrupt the progress of the new hot pot restaurant.
"They won't come again. Let's go in and take a look." Meg pushed the door open, and walked in first.
Everyone followed suit and entered in a line.
The interior of the hot pot restaurant was rather luxurious. The main colors were gold and red. The tables and chairs were all prepared. They were all red date mahogany tables, and were neatly arranged. There were more than a hundred tables in the hall on the first floor alone. The scale was more than double that of Amy's.
"This restaurant is so big. It can accommodate a thousand people, right?" Yabemiya exclaimed.
"There are private rooms on the second floor. The kitchen is also on the second floor." Raina smiled as she walked in. "Let me show you."
…
"Is it over just like that? How boring … "Irina, who was standing on a nearby roof, shook her head. She glanced at the carriage that was leaving, and a sly smile appeared on her face." Since you want everything, I'll skin you alive … "Irina murmured to herself.
