"Hmm?" Elizabeth walked to the entrance of the restaurant, and suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned her head slightly to look behind her, and saw a black shadow disappear into the bushes. She hesitated momentarily before turning around to leave. A blue frost appeared beneath her feet, and she disappeared from the street in the blink of an eye.
"She's gone?" After a while, a man wearing black tights came out of the bushes. He looked around anxiously, stamped his feet, and disappeared into the darkness again, walking through it.
"Fox is spying on me?" Elizabeth looked at the figure disappearing into the darkness from a nearby tree branch, and her brows furrowed slightly as a contemplative look appeared on her face.
"Looks like Father was right; those people aren't trustworthy. I'll have to make a trip to that place today." Elizabeth gently stroked the ring on her right thumb as she turned to look in the direction of Amy's. She had already disappeared, leaving behind a trail of frost on the tree branch.

"Second Young Master, Director Devoe of the Devoe Tavern and Director Goodenia of the Goodenia Watch Company have been kept under wraps. We've spent a lot of money to bribe them, but only managed to get some rough information." In a slightly dim room, Mars looked at Cyril, who was sitting behind a desk opposite him, with a respectful expression, just like when he was standing beside President Geoffrey in the Aden Chamber of Commerce. Even the humble smile on his face was identical.
"Tell me what's going on. The two of them are directors of our Aden Chamber of Commerce, and they're important figures in Chaos City. Isn't it a little disrespectful to the Aden Chamber of Commerce for them to be taken away for no apparent reason? " Cyril crossed his legs as he gently tapped an intricate red pipe on the table, and looked at Mars with furrowed brows.
"According to the information that we've received, they may have been involved in a 4th-tier incident, and a 3th-tier incident at the same time." Mars wore a grave expression as he looked at Cyril, and solemnly suggested, "Second Young Master, a 4th-tier incident is considered confidential in the Gray Temple, so it's best if we don't get too involved."
"Level 4 incident?" Cyril pursed his lips and leaned back on the leather chair behind him. He said indifferently, "So what if it's a level 4 incident? Didn't you say that the people from the Devo Tavern and the Goody Watch Shop have already sent the money over? Take half of it to the Gray Temple and the city lord's castle, and get them out of Bastie Prison first. Otherwise, everyone will say that the Aden Chamber of Commerce is a pushover and can't even protect the directors. Then, spend money to settle the rest of the matter. If there's not enough money, let the two families think of other ways. "
"This …" Mars hesitated.
"Alright, Miss Sineer is still waiting for me tonight. Just convert the money into a deposit receipt from Buffett Bank and give it to me." Cyril put the pipe in his chest pocket, got up, and walked out while whistling.
"A fourth-level incident can't be solved with money. This pool is much deeper than we thought, Second Young Master …" Mars muttered to himself helplessly as he looked at the door. He stood in the dim room and fell into deep thought.
…
Yabemiya and Sally returned to the restaurant, and quickly got back to work. The restaurant resumed its efficient operation. Aside from the fact that the door had disappeared, and a patch of lush trees in a corner of the square had disappeared, everything seemed to be the same as before.
All of the customers' emotions were gradually soothed by the delicious food, and they were immersed in the enjoyment of the food, quickly forgetting about their shock and displeasure.
"Father, Big Sister Xixi and Big Bear have already fallen asleep after Big Sister Aisha's treatment. Master Turtle Shell said that they'll be fine after a good night's sleep." Amy stood at the entrance of the kitchen with Ugly Duckling in her arms, and a smile appeared on her little face as she spoke to Meg.
"Yeah, you're all great. You've done a great job." Meg nodded with a smile as he looked at Amy and the others with approval in his eyes. Sally had saved the druid couple despite the risk of being exposed. Yabemiya was clearly not very powerful, but she still rushed to the forefront, and Amy had expressed her willingness to help them from the very beginning.
The three of them were all very kind people, and that made him very happy. Meg wasn't opposed to helping others to the best of his ability.
Elated smiles appeared on both Amy and Yabemiya's faces. Sally was also putting away the utensils with a smile on her face. She had never heard such praise before.
"I have to admit that this is the best food I've ever tasted." After finishing the second bowl of rice, Novan placed the last piece of shiitake mushroom in his mouth and chewed it carefully before putting down his chopsticks with a satisfied expression.
Crassus also finished his braised chicken and rice at about the same time as Novan, and he asked, "Is it enough to change the world?"
Novan nodded, and said, "If even a normal family can cook something as delicious as this, then it would definitely redefine the cooking style of the Norland Continent."
Crassus pursed his lips, and said, "If even a normal family can cook something as delicious as this, then it wouldn't even cost 800 copper coins per serving."
"So if you want to change the world, then this is probably not enough." Novan also smiled.
"That's not necessarily the case. Even if they can't cook something as delicious as this, I'm sure many people would still be willing to give it a try if they can make ordinary food more delicious." Crassus shook his head as he pointed at the bowl in front of him with a smile, and said, "This is a direction. Changing the world has never been something that a single person can do. Perhaps he can provide a direction that will convince everyone."
Novan fell silent, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the bowl in front of him. He suddenly stood up and walked toward the door as he said, "I have something important to do. I'm very satisfied with tonight's dinner. Thank you for your hospitality."
"Hey, your savory tofu pudding is still …" Crassus raised his hand to look at Novan, who had already disappeared out the door. He looked at the savory tofu pudding across from him, and shrugged nonchalantly as he scooped up a spoonful of sweet tofu pudding. He shook his head, and said, "Savory tofu pudding isn't that good anyway, so it's not a pity that I didn't eat it."
All of the people sitting at the nearby tables immediately looked over at the untouched savory tofu pudding on the table. All of them wanted to say something, but refrained from doing so when they thought of Crassus' status.
