"Father … Father, bad news." Jonah barged into Bowen's study in a panic, and saw Bowen sitting behind the desk with a piece of porcelain in his hands.
"Didn't you go to get the ruling? Why are you so panicky? " Bowen looked up at Jonah with a frown. This son of his was good at everything, except that he was too young and impatient.
"Chief Dominic … He … He's been arrested!" Jonah's voice was trembling.
"Smack!" The porcelain in Bowen's hands fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces.
"W-what did you say?!" Bowen stood up abruptly, and raised his voice.
"I went to the Department of Property Rights to get the ruling, and happened to see Dominic being taken away by the Gray Temple in shackles. I hurriedly went back to the teahouse, and it was sealed up by the Gray Temple again. All the people and service staff we sent there were taken away by the Gray Temple. " Jonah looked at Bowen anxiously. "Father, w-did we touch something we shouldn't have this time?"
"It's over." Bowen slumped back into his seat weakly. His face was a little pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
The Marquis Family had been operating in Chaos City for many years, and Chief Dominic could be considered their family's closest high-ranking official in the city lord's castle. They had worked closely together for many years, and each took what they needed.
Now that Dominic was arrested, and the teahouse was sealed up by the Gray Temple, Bowen had no choice but to link this to Bennett's incident.
This time, not only would he not be able to get Bennett's share, but he might also have to cough up a lot of things.
"Father … What should we do now?" Jonah was a little out of his wits. This sudden incident had completely messed up their plans.
Bowen took a few deep breaths, and quickly regained his composure. He looked up at Jonah, and said, "Go to the accounts room right now, and destroy all the accounts related to Dominic. After that, cut off all the assets that are in the gray area or that were established with Bennett's influence from the Marquis Family …"
"The Gray Temple is handling the case! Everyone in the Marquis Manor, put down whatever you are doing and gather in the courtyard. Anyone who is negligent will be severely punished! "Right at this moment, a stern voice sounded in the Marquis Manor.
"They're here … too fast …" Bowen looked at the door, and couldn't hide his loneliness and indignation.
…
"I want the spicy soup base, three times the insanely spicy!"
Vanessa, Abraham, Lola, Randy, and the rest sat down, and immediately ordered.
Abraham's face turned green, and he looked at Vanessa with a sullen expression. "Can we be a little gentler, little ancestor? Three times insanely spicy … Is … Is this something a normal person can handle? "
"It seems that Miss Windsor has a good appetite these days." Randy, on the other hand, had a relaxed expression. During this period of time, he often shared a table with Vanessa and the rest. His tolerance towards the insanely spicy food was far beyond that of ordinary people.
"No, didn't Mr. Mak say that real men have to eat insanely spicy?" Vanessa looked at Abraham seriously. "Uncle Abraham, I want to eat the insanely spicy."
"Then … Then let's order a double hotpot? A pot within a pot. I'll just cook the smaller pot. "Abraham tried to negotiate.
"No, double hotpot is an insult to the spicy hot pot." Vanessa rejected cruelly, and then looked at Yabemiya with a smile. "Big Sister Mia, we want the spicy soup base with three times the insanely spicy. As for the side dishes, we'll just have the usual."
"Alright, please wait a moment." Mia nodded with a smile, and then walked to the next table.
"Sigh …" Abraham sighed. Who did he offend? It was her father who wanted her to go back, but he was the one who was tortured …
"Miss, are we not waiting for Young … Young Master?" Lora asked softly.
"Didn't my brother send a letter over just now? He's not free tonight, so there's no need to wait for him." Vanessa shook her head. She didn't want to see Sean now, either. She just wanted to have another meal of spicy hot pot.
"Oh." Lora nodded. She glanced at Vanessa's side profile, and didn't say anything else.
This period of time in Chaos City was probably the happiest period for the princess. She was able to eat food that made her happy almost every day, and most importantly, the dental disease that had plagued her for many years had been perfectly treated in Chaos City.
Now that His Highness Sean had come to Chaos City, and might have to bring her back to Rodu the day after tomorrow, she definitely wouldn't be too happy.
"Boss, the first barrel of rum is almost sold out." Mia put eight glasses of rum on the tray, and reminded Meg when she saw that there was less than a third left on the barrel.
"We have enough in stock. Don't worry." Meg agreed with a smile. As Connie wasn't old enough to drink yet, he had basically taken away all of Hannah's stock, especially the rum that was more than 20 years old. They were all in his hands.
According to the market price, this batch of rum was worth more than 1 billion copper coins.
After all, any bottle of Old Sim's rum that was more than 50 years old could probably be auctioned at a sky-high price.
However, apart from a small portion of this rum that he intended to keep for himself, he intended to use most of it as the base liquor for the new distillery.
Brewing wine was a long-term investment. Without enough aged rum, it wouldn't be able to fetch a high price.
Meanwhile, this batch of aged rum in Meg's hands would become the foundation of the distillery. It could allow the new distillery to go on the road quickly and get through the awkward three years of brewing.
He didn't intend to cheat Hannah out of this sum of money. After all, this was considered a huge inheritance that her grandfather had left her.
Of course, he didn't want to cash it out for her directly.
After all, no one knew if she would abandon her talent in the face of such a huge sum of money and become a lazy salted fish that only knew how to eat and work.
If not for the fact that he had no money, who would want to force himself to be talented?
He intended to take out 10 barrels of 15-year-old rum to open up the rum market in Chaos City, and then cut off the supply for a period of time until the new distillery was built and started production, and the new rum would be officially released.
The hunger marketing methods of Mr. Guo and Mr. Mi were really worth learning.
Of course, Mr. Mi's methods were even better.
After all, they were the only ones who could still soar despite not having any stock all year round.
Meg glanced in the direction of the designated hot pot area. Vanessa and Abraham's table, but Sean wasn't there. It seemed like he should be busy at the city lord's castle now.
However, Sean was probably going to bring Vanessa back this time, right?
Actually, he quite liked this little princess. She was innocent and romantic, and didn't have the princess syndrome in her words and actions. Hence, he was willing to treat her teeth.
King Andre and his two sons weren't good people, but this daughter and that little prince were still alright. Meg wasn't an extreme person who would kill everyone with one move.
Of course, if Sean came to Mamy's for a meal, he wouldn't mind recommending him to try the restaurant's latest dark cuisine.
