Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Dunlop nodded, slightly annoyed.

"That's true. But Noah, is this your answer to me? You're trying to bargain with me using three traitors?"

Noah chuckled softly, “Mr. Dunlop, you’ve misunderstood something. We agreed beforehand that Andre would inform you of the traitors. From the beginning, I was negotiating with you without knowing who those three traitors were. If I had known, I wouldn’t have even given you that ten million.”

"I'm still willing to talk to you because we have another collaboration, and I don't want to strain the relationship too much, but this is the only opportunity to talk. Mr. Dunlop, if your mine is bombed again and you come up with another hound skin, I will not offer any compensation."

Noah had made it clear beforehand.

The Davis family was indeed wrong to bomb the mining area, but if they couldn't even protect their own mining area, the Leopold family also had serious problems.

Noah doesn't have the habit of paying for other people's mistakes; this time, he paid the bill only out of friendship.

Seeing that he couldn't reach a conclusion by continuing to talk to Noah, Dunlop stopped and got up to leave.

Noah ignored his departure until he heard the office door close again. He then said, "Andrei, thoroughly investigate the hunting dogs. See if any of them are disloyal. If any disloyal hunting dog is found, do not report it. Execute them on the spot!"

"Yes."

Just as Andrei finished answering, there was a knock on the office door.

The person who came in was an employee of the secretariat. He said respectfully, "Master, we just received a report from an informant that a large fishing boat belonging to the Milne family was bombed, and the person who planted the bomb was a shadow of the Clarence family."

The Clarence family's shadow was like the Davis family's hound, a person who only obeyed the head of the household.

"Understood, you may leave. Andrei, you can go about your business as well," Noah said.

Andrei and his secretary left at the same time.

Noah sighed helplessly, "I haven't had a few days of peace and quiet, and then this big thing happens. Kyle, do you think Uncle did this?"

“Given the way hounds operate, the only person who could make them betray you is a member of the Davis family,” Kyle said.

"Is Uncle courting death? He keeps causing trouble one after another."

Although evidence may be hard to find, sometimes evidence is not particularly necessary.

“I just don’t understand why Mr. Lane would bomb the Leopold family’s mines. He’s vying with you for the position of family head, so he should be causing you trouble, not bombing the Leopold family’s mines.”

The four major families agreed not to bomb each other's mining areas because they all secretly thought that if one of their families was destroyed, they would simply rob the mining area.

A mining area has workers and tools, so you can just seize it and start mining. If you blow it up, it's very difficult to develop it again. So if you really want to deal with someone, you would never blow up a mining area.

“I don’t know what my uncle is thinking. He’s so smart, he shouldn’t do something so stupid, unless he wants everyone to suffer.”

“If that’s the case, then I think Mr. Lane is crazy,” Kyle said.

Noah rubbed his forehead in deep thought.

I really can't figure out why Ryan would resort to such a underhanded tactic.

"Master, you should be back at work tomorrow, right?" Kyle suddenly changed the subject. "You've been resting for two days straight, leaving all the big and small things at the company to me. I'm getting married soon, and I need to go home to be with my wife. I can't just stay cooped up at the company all the time, busy with this and that."

Thinking back on the busy days, Kyle felt miserable about working for such a boss.

Noah said, "Even if I wanted to continue slacking off, with so many things happening one after another, I can't just ignore it. Don't worry, I'll come back to work now. Arrange for someone to take Ayuan and Shibai home."

When Kyle heard that Noah was back at work, he immediately agreed and turned around to arrange for someone to take Qi Yuan and Shi Bai home.

When Qi Yuan and Shi Bai were heading home, they asked the driver to pass by the restaurant first.

The restaurant was still packed with people, with long queues.

Qi Yuan asked the driver to stop at the entrance for a while. He looked at the busy employees in the restaurant and noticed a man who was about 1.9 meters tall in the queue.

The reason why the man could attract Qi Yuan's attention is very simple.

With their striking good looks and flamboyant hair, and given that hair dyeing technology doesn't exist in this world yet, everyone here has naturally colored hair.

There is a tribe in the North Continent whose members are born with red hair, but the tribe is small in number and is considered a rare population in the North Continent.

It's one thing for a man to be good-looking with striking red hair, but to be so tall is hard not to attract attention.

"Brother Qi, your restaurant is doing really well," Shi Bai said.

Qi Yuan shifted his attention from the red-haired man to Shi Bai. "Yes, not bad."

"When I was working as a cleaner, I heard from the uncles that because your restaurant was advertised in the newspaper, many people from other cities who saw the newspaper also came to Juecheng to have a meal at your restaurant."

Upon hearing Shi Bai's words, Qi Yuan remembered the matter of advertising in the newspaper.

So, the red-haired man must have come from an advertisement in another city. If that's the case, then the 50,000 yuan advertising fee was quite worthwhile.

Qi Yuan did not linger there any longer and had the driver take him home.

Night fell quickly over the desolate city.

After seeing off the last table of guests, the uncles in the restaurant stretched and began cleaning the restaurant.

In the kitchen, everyone was busy with smiles.

"Business was good today. Even though the boss wasn't here, we still managed to do so well. Knowing the boss's personality, he'll definitely give us a raise at the end of the month."

"Just dreaming. The boss has been good enough to us. You want the boss to give us a raise?"

"I was just saying, if this business continues until the end of the month, how much money will the boss make? Does any of us know how to count?"

These workers, who originally only knew how to do heavy labor, were barely literate.

At this point, someone said, "Casio definitely knows how to read. Casio, have you ever calculated how much money the boss makes in a day?"

"I haven't counted it. I was in the kitchen and didn't touch the money."

Every day, members of the Davis family would take the cash box from the counter home to Qi Yuan for accounting.

So nobody knows how much a restaurant can earn in a day.

"Casio, you can go to the front desk to collect money tomorrow. Everyone knows how to cut meat now, so you can let someone else do it. Go to the front desk and broaden your horizons."

Casio refused their offer and was unwilling to go to the front desk to collect the money.

Seeing everyone busy, Aubrey suddenly leaned close to Casio and whispered, "Casio, have you offended anyone before?"

Aubrey said, "You always keep your head down and hide in the crowd, no matter where you are, as if you're afraid of being found by someone."
