Mag gave enough hints, allowing the case of buying a killer on the black market and kidnapping of the female lady boss due to business competition that shocked the city for a day and night to finally come to a close.

  However, first there was an internal conflict amongst the culprits, and then the mastermind committed suicide, so it seemed that the court did not have to do anything. All they did was rush to the site, ensure security, and clean things up.

  To put it bluntly…


  They went there to wash the floor.

  However, there was one more culprit on the loose.

  On top of that, just before the people from court sealed Boris’s mansion, his treasury was robbed.

  The savings of Rodu’s wealthiest tavern owner were wiped clean.

  According to insider’s information, the amount at stake was a few hundred million.

  “It seems poverty would limit one’s imagination.”


  Mag looked at the three billion worth of cash in the house that was being counted, and lamented to himself.

  “Father, are all baddies so rich?” Amy looked at Mag with glowing eyes, as though she had found the secret to wealth.

  “Rich people are not necessarily bad people, but baddies are all pretty rich,” Mag said with a smile.

  “In that case, if you want to beat up baddies, you have to bring me along,” Amy said seriously.

  “Alright, alright,” Mag agreed. There was no issue bringing Amy along to settle these punks.

  Annie sat in the corner alone, drawing and extremely indifferent to such material stuff.

  Ugly Duckling lay on the counter as it looked into the kitchen from time to time, thinking about its lunch that was already late for half an

  hour.

  Knock, knock

  There came the sound of knocking.

  Irina waved her hand, and kept the gold and treasures.

  “I’ll open the door.”


  Amy skipped to the door and opened it.

  Standing outside were Eiffie and Mala, with many things in their hands.

  “Ay, this is for you,” Eiffie passed a basket filled with snacks to Amy.

  “Wow, so many goodies!”


  Amy’s eyes lit up. She received the basket, and bit onto the candied haw. After that, she thanked Eiffie with her mouth full. “Thank you, Big Sister Eiffie.”


  Eiffie walked in, and took a bolt of blue satin from Mala. She stepped forward with a smile, and said to Irina, “Big Sister, this is top-grade glazed satin. You have a great figure, and would definitely look good in a dress made from this.”


  “Thank you.” Irina received the satin. She liked it quite a bit.

  Although she had received the satin, Irina still took a few more glances at Eiffie. The latter sounded so warm and passionate, but who knew if she had other motives?

  “I heard that Annie liked drawing. I’ve also collected a few picture books, so I brought them over to see if Annie would like them.” As she said that, Eiffie started looking around in her canvas bag. “Picture book?!”


  Mag raised his brow. He was suddenly a little nervous.

  His hardcover The Plum in the Golden Vase flew into Eiffie’s window. It was top-notch in terms of quality.

  However, it was too realistic, and was not suitable for little children.

  Besides, Irina and the others might not know Mandarin, but they all thought that Mag was the only one who recognized this dialect.

  If Eiffie took out The Plum in the Golden Vase, he would have to get a hard beating.

  Recalling that Irina had already mastered knot-tying that he once used on Camilla, Mag felt a chill down his spine.

  Just when Mag’s heart was in his mouth, and he was thinking if he should bet on it with his life to create an accident, Eiffie pulled out a few children’s coloring books.

  Mm-hmm. She does have some eye for art, and knows that she should keep good things for herself. Mag heaved a sigh of relief.

  “Thank you.”


  Annie received the coloring book happily. It was obvious that she loved such exquisite coloring books.

  “You must have spent a lot of money. Thank you.” Mag was clear how much such exquisite coloring books would cost. If it was from a famous artist, its price would be no less than 10,000 copper coins. “It’s fine as long as the children like it.”


  Eiffie smiled reservedly. These little gifts were nothing compared to what Mr. Hades and his family did to save their lives.

  After receiving the gifts, just when Mag was still wondering what else Eiffie would be giving, she pulled out a check from her pocket.

  “I heard that my life was worth 1,000,000 copper coins in the black market. Mr. Hades, you saved me. Take this sum of money as my thank-you gift to you.”


  Eiffie passed the check to Mag. “I can’t accept this money.” Mag quickly waved his hands to reject.

  He had already received too much. These 1,000,000 copper coins were leveraged on three billion.

  “You must accept this money. Otherwise, I would feel bad.” Eiffie did not take her check back. She looked at Mag with resolution.

  “I’ll accept this money on his behalf. Stay back a while for lunch. We’ve not eaten yet.”


  Just when Mag was thinking of how to reject Eiffie, Irina had already taken the check.

  “Sure.” Eiffie quickly blushed, and said embarrassedly, “I’m here to have a free meal again. I feel very bad.”


  It was mainly because Mr. Hades’s cooking was too delicious, and her body was very honest.

  “It’s alright. The more, the merrier,” Amy said with a smile. “Besides, Father can make a few more dishes.”


  Seeing that Irina had received the money, Mag did not speak further. He walked into the kitchen, and said, “Take a seat and wait for a bit more. I’ll cook.”


  In no time at all, Mag made a table full of sumptuous food for lunch.

  Eiffie’s and Mala’s jaw dropped. They could not help but swallow their saliva when they saw the piping-hot and fragrant dishes.

  “Er… is this the legendary eggplant with garlic sauce?” Eiffie asked as she pointed to a dish.

  “Yes. You know it?” Mag was shocked.

  “Mr. Hades, did you also read Perfect Food magazine and learn it on your own?” Eiffie looked at Mag in shock. “It looks exactly the same as in the picture! You’re too good at this!”


  “Oh… yeah, I learned it from the magazine.”


  Mag nodded with a smile. He almost forgot about that. However, Eiffie managed to come up with a perfect cover up story for him. “Do you like this dish?” Mag asked. “I saw the magazine two days ago, and was even thinking about it in my dreams. It’s a pity Chaos City is too far way, and I can’t really leave now. Otherwise, I would definitely want to try Mr. Mag’s cooking for myself.” Eiffie nodded with longing in her eyes.

  “You’re lucky, then. Father makes really good eggplant with garlic sauce. It’s nowhere worse than Mr. Mag’s,” Amy said with a wink.

  “Really? In that case, I must give it a try.” Eiffie picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of eggplant, and blew on it. After that, she put it into her mouth.

  Sour, spicy, sweet, and savory; the four tastes exploded almost simultaneously in her mouth. Her taste buds were triggered instantly without warning. It felt as though something was rushing right up her head.

  Each taste was so prominent, but they actually blended together in such harmony. It made one fall deeply into it without knowing.

  The soft eggplant melted almost immediately in Eiffie’s mouth. After the wild palate feast experienced by her taste buds, Eiffie swallowed it, and there was a lingering fragrance in her mouth.

  Hing, hing

  Eiffie opened her red lips slightly, and could not help but let out a soft moan.
