Their eyes soon focused on the door.
A shadow appeared at the door first, and then a young man slowly walked out. Seeing Gu Zheng, Brown was slightly relieved at first, but then his heart was in his mouth again.
"Mr. Gu, this is a private residence. Do you know what you are doing is against the law?"
Brown said slowly with a sullen face. In fact, the moment he saw Gu Zheng, he still felt a little guilty. After all, he took back the winery behind Gu Zheng's back. It was not only against the law, but also very immoral.
But the guilt disappeared quickly. In addition to being a noble, Brown was also a businessman. For him, waiting for Gu Zheng for more than two years was the most benevolent thing he could do. Moreover, Gu Zheng stood him up.
"I know, but you should know that the law is useless to me!"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly and walked over. He even poured himself a cup of wine and took a sip.
The quality of the wine was good. It was second-grade. And it had been for some years. It was indeed a good wine.
"Arrogant!"
Guterang shouted fiercely and shouted outside. Gu Zheng didn't stop him at all. When they entered here, Gu Zheng had already set up a formation. Even if Guterang shouted until his throat was broken, his voice couldn't be heard outside.
"Mr. Brown, you really disappointed me!"
After Guterang finished shouting, Gu Zheng turned around and looked at Brown coldly.
At this time, both Brown and Guterang felt that something was wrong. Sir Brown had servants and bodyguards in the manor. Although he didn't have many bodyguards, there were still eight of them. They usually guarded the whole manor.
Guterang's shouting just now could be heard outside the manor. But now there was no movement outside, which made Brown's heart sink more and more.
"Mr. Gu, we agreed in advance that you would come to help me in the second year. But you didn't come in the second year, and you didn't come in the third year either!"
Brown said slowly. He had thought that Gu Zheng would come in the second year and help him win more money. After that incident, he inquired about Gu Zheng again. Gu Zheng was known as the most outstanding and the youngest chef in Huaxia.
In Huaxia, no one could compare with Gu Zheng. Huaxia was a country of gourmet. Gu Zheng had few rivals in the world.
With this information, Brown was more confident. The next year, he sent out the invitation early in the second year. He wanted to make more money through the Food Festival. But the invitation was like a stone in the sea. Gu Zheng didn't respond to him at all.
After that, he couldn't even find Gu Zheng's shadow until the end of the event.
It was the same for the first year and the second year. In these two years, Brown didn't make money, but lost some money. So he put all the blame on Gu Zheng, thinking that Gu Zheng had hurt him. In addition, Guterang was willing to pay a higher price to take back the winery. He wanted to make up for the losses in these two years, so he agreed to Guterang's request and took back the winery.
But he didn't expect that Gu Zheng would come to him the day after he took back the winery. He even suspected that Gu Zheng had been there all along. If he hadn't taken back the winery, Gu Zheng wouldn't have shown up at all.
He didn't expect that Gu Zheng would come to him in this way.
"Mr. Brown, let me show you a magic trick!"
Gu Zheng still had a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Guterang. Guterang was confused at first, but soon his face was full of fear.
He found that his body was out of control, and his feet were slowly leaving the ground.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Guterang with only one finger. Gu Zheng raised his finger, and Guterang's body rose into the air. Guterang was like a little puppet, completely under Gu Zheng's control.
This strange scene made Brown's eyes tighten, but he didn't seem to be afraid. He just stared at Gu Zheng and Guterang.
After toying with Gudrun for a while, Gu Zheng put him down. Gudrun, who was put down, was drenched in sweat and his entire body was trembling.
"Mr. Brown, what do you think of this magic trick? If you're not satisfied, I have more fun tricks here. Do you want to try?"
Gu Zheng's face was full of smiles. The chicken meat on Brown's face was trembling. Gu Zheng's threat was very obvious.
"Mr. Gu, I didn't recognize you as a master. May I ask if you're from the Dark Association or the Luminous Vatican?"
Brown took a deep breath and slowly asked Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was a little surprised that Brown knew about the Dark Association and the Luminous Vatican. However, Gu Zheng soon figured it out. Brown was a European noble, and his family had a long history. With such a long history, it was normal for him to know some secrets that others didn't know.
It was even possible that these nobles had contact with Western practitioners in the early years.
"Mr. Brown, you've forgotten that I'm from Huaxia. I'm a practitioner from Huaxia!"
Gu Zheng shook his head gently. He was not a European, nor was he a European practitioner. However, there was no need to deny his identity as a Huaxia practitioner.
"Mr. Gu, I know I've done wrong this time. I'm willing to return the winery to you, and I'll also compensate you with my castle in England as an apology!"
Brown made a standard aristocratic gesture of apology. He was very clear that the law was useless against people like Gu Zheng. At the same time, his heart was full of regret.
If he had known that Gu Zheng was such a person, not to mention a winery, he would have been willing to give more things. His ancestor had protected such a person, and that was how he had achieved his later glory.
Unfortunately, it was useless to regret now. He could only think of ways to redeem himself.
"The winery belongs to me. As for your castle, is it the one worth one or two million euros?"
Gu Zheng chuckled and shook his head. Brown was using something that belonged to him to apologize. Brown's plan was very good. As for the ancient castle, Gu Zheng knew about it. Brown had gambled with the ancient castle before, so Gu Zheng knew the value of the ancient castle.
Castles sounded attractive, but in fact, the owners of castles all over Europe had a headache. Castles were historical relics, so they could not be damaged at will. Most of them were located in remote places. Except for a few families, most people did not live in castles.
After all, castles had been built for hundreds of years. The environment inside was ordinary, and it could not be modified on a large scale. Many people would rather live in a manor than in a castle. The annual maintenance of a castle also required a lot of money, which was a thankless effort.
Therefore, Gu Zheng felt that Brown was insincere when he took such a thing as an apology. It was better not to take anything.
This also made Gu Ning's impression of Brown worse. He was a selfish European aristocrat.
Seeing Gu Zheng's change of expression, Brown knew that he was in trouble.
Although Gu Zheng was a cultivator, in terms of experience, he was not as experienced as Brown, who had been doing business since he was a child. Brown already knew what Gu Zheng was thinking from his expression. He also knew that the situation was more unfavorable for him.
"Mister Gu, although the value of my castle is not high, it is not an ordinary castle. If not for Mister Gu, I would not have given you my castle!"
Brown hurriedly explained the origin of his ancient castle.
The origin of his castle was indeed extraordinary. History said that it was the headquarters of the Dark Association. In the Middle Ages, there was a great war between the two major forces of light and darkness. The Dark Association was defeated and gave up the castle.
Although the Dark Association lost that war, the forces of light also suffered a great loss and were unable to fight again. When the Dark Association retreated, they made an agreement with the Holy Church. The castle was returned to the public, and neither the forces of light nor the forces of darkness were allowed to approach it.
At that time, the Dark Association used the excuse of saving face. They did not want to fail, and even their headquarters were uprooted.
The Holy Church, who needed to recuperate, agreed to this condition. After that, the castle was in the hands of ordinary people. However, later on, there were rumors that although the forces of darkness were defeated, they could not take away some treasures and left them there. But no one knew where the treasures were hidden.
Even the people who lived there did not know.
This rumor once made many people of the forces of darkness and light fight for the castle. There were several conflicts because of this, and many people died. Later, the two major forces restrained their own people, and gradually calmed down.
But since then, similar rumors had been spreading, but no one dared to have any ideas about the castle. Anyone who dared to set their eyes on the castle was equivalent to becoming an enemy of the two major forces. In the European world of cultivation, offending the two major forces was equivalent to suicide.
Just like in Huaxia, if one offended both the righteous path and the devil path at the same time, no matter who it was, they would be destroyed. Even the very powerful Kongkong Sect eventually dissipated.
After quickly explaining all this, Brown looked at Gu Zheng with some apprehension.
The reason he knew all this was because the European cultivator that his ancestor relied on told them. Later on, this matter became their group's training. No matter what, they were not to sell the castle.
Although they could not get any benefits from the castle and had to keep it there for maintenance, with such a story, they had to take good care of it.
"The headquarters of the Dark Association?"
Gu Zheng furrowed his brows. He suddenly recalled that the demonic cultivator had possessed a chef's body in order to win a bet against this ancient castle. Now that he heard Brown's words, it seemed that there really was a story behind this ancient castle.
The European cultivators naturally did not dare to fight for the castle. However, Gu Zheng was not a European cultivator, and he was a very powerful immortal cultivator.
If Brown was really willing to give the castle to him, he could go and check it out. At least in terms of law, no one could say anything.
It was Brown's fault in the first place. Compensating him with an ancient castle was definitely the lightest punishment.
"Yes, yes, that's the rumor. I can give the castle to you, Mr. Gu!"
Brown nodded quickly. Although the group's training said that the castle must not be given to others, he now had to save his life, and he could no longer care about this.
"That's fine. Tomorrow, you will complete all the procedures and send it to me. You better not play any tricks. Otherwise, I guarantee that no one will be able to save you!"
Gu Zheng glared at Brown and spoke slowly. His voice was imbued with immortal energy and was imprinted into Brown's heart. In the future, whenever Brown thought of Gu Zheng, he would only feel fear. He would definitely not dare to have any other thoughts.
"Yes, yes, don't worry. I will complete it for you!"
Brown nodded quickly. Gu Zheng glanced at Gudrun, who was still terrified on the ground. Suddenly, he reached out his hand and pointed at his head. Gudrun screamed and fell to the ground.
The next moment, Gu Zheng disappeared from the room. Brown did not even see how he left.
After a full ten minutes, Brown dared to walk to Gudrun's side and observe him. Gudrun was not dead. After being shaken by Brown a few times, he woke up. After waking up, Gudrun was no longer afraid. Instead, he was a little surprised.
"Sir Brown, thank God. You finally agreed. Let's go through the procedures quickly. Eh, what happened to me?"
As Guteran spoke, he looked at himself in confusion. His body was wet. Most importantly, he actually peed his pants. This discovery made him blush immediately. He didn't know what to say next.
"You, you don't remember anything?"
Brown widened his eyes and looked at Gudrun in surprise. Gudrun shook his head blankly. He really did not remember anything.
He only remembered that he came to find Brown. Brown would give him the transfer of the winery so that he could take back the winery that belonged to him.
"It's good that you don't remember. You fell down just now. It was a terrible fall. I'd better send you to the hospital first!"
Brown said hurriedly. He knew very well that Gu Zheng must have done something to make Gudrun forget everything.
Gudrun forgot, but he did not forget. He would never forget. Now, he finally understood what a big mistake he had made and what kind of person he had offended.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret. Fortunately, he threw out the castle in the end and saved himself.
As for Gudrun, he really did not have the mood to care about him. In fact, they had already signed the transfer agreement. Fortunately, the agreement was still on his desk. Gudrun did not remember it. He could just tear it up later.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little envious of Gudrun. It seemed to be good to not remember anything. At least there was no fear.
Gu Zheng went and went back quickly. After he went back, he did not go back to the winery immediately. Instead, he found a hotel to stay for the night.
It did not make sense for him to solve the problem so quickly.
He returned to the winery in the afternoon of the second day. Kate and Gu Ming were both there. They were sitting in the hall. When they saw Gu Zheng, they stood up together.
"Your phone is turned off again. I can't contact you!"
Gu Ming grumbled. Kite said excitedly, "Boss, the people from the city hall called. Sir Brown has reissued the authorization. As long as you sign it, the winery will still belong to you. It was a mistake before!"
Gu Zheng did not doubt that Brown would return the winery. If Brown still dared to play tricks under such circumstances, he could only say that he was looking for death. At this time, no one would help him if he killed him.
Whether it was in Huaxia or Europe, there was a rule in the world of cultivation. One could not simply find trouble with ordinary people, let alone hurt them.
However, there was a prerequisite for this rule. The prerequisite was that ordinary people did not offend cultivators. If an ordinary person offended a cultivator, he would have to bear all the consequences. This time, Brown broke the contract first and lied to Gu Zheng. Therefore, no matter what Gu Zheng did to him, it was fine.
