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

Since Shi Bai and Xiu moved out of Davis's house, Qi Yuan has not inquired about their daily lives.

But given Xiu's shamelessness, Davis was his home before, and he will be his home in the future.

Because he and Noah parted amicably, coming to Davis's house felt completely different from coming home.

The only slight difference is that when they arrive, the butler will tell Qi Yuan and ask him what the two are there for.

Of course, if Noah had gone home from get off work earlier than the housekeeper, the housekeeper would have informed Noah.

Since Noah didn't return, Qi Yuan became the main figure.

When Qi Yuan arrived at the living room, he found not only Xiu and Shi Bai sitting on the soft sofa, but also Nick.

In Qi Yuan's memory, it seemed like he had just returned from Gangdia yesterday, so seeing Nick now felt both familiar and surprising.

"Mr. Qi Yuan, it's been a long time." Nick was the first to stand up and greet Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan nodded slightly. "Long time no see, what brings you here?"

“I’ve completed the task assigned to me by the patriarch, and I’m here to report on it. However, since I couldn’t find the patriarch, I went to see a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time, and he brought me here directly.” Nick said, looking at Xiu sitting to the side.

Qi Yuan looked at Xiu and said, "You really have no manners at all."

“Ah Yuan, we’re friends, and friends shouldn’t be so formal. Besides, Nick and I will become the head of the family’s confidants, so don’t worry, we will never betray the head of the family.”

Qi Yuan ignored him and focused his gaze on Shi Bai, saying, "I don't believe you, but I believe Shi Bai."

As he spoke, Qi Yuan sat down on the sofa and said, "You came back just to bring Nick in."

"No, that's not it. I still have something to discuss with you, Yuan. I heard that you, Lennon of the Milne family, and Ms. Daphne have opened another restaurant together?"

"Where did you find that out?" Qi Yuan asked back.

Xiu smiled and said, "There's no need to ask around. Some businesses can partner with Davis. They agree on a deal one second and announce it everywhere the next. I was quite happy to hear about this partnership. You guys make money, and so do I."

Qi Yuan roughly knew what Xiu was talking about and said, "Ms. Daphne and Lennon's restaurant do not sell congee-based hot pot."

"Huh? What do you sell then?"

When Xiu heard that Lennon Daphne and Qi Yuan were collaborating, he planned to have the team transporting goods to Dongzhou bring back more casserole dishes in two months, hoping to make them one of the most profitable products.

If their restaurant stops selling congee-based hot pot, then the clay pot dishes won't be profitable anymore.

"Juecheng isn't that big. If three restaurants serving congee and hot pot are opened in such a small place, one of them will definitely not make money. So Lennon's restaurant sells home-style stir-fries, while Ms. Daphne's restaurant mainly serves mutton."

Xiu sighed, "Their restaurant sells different dishes, which is a treat for us, but I still want to make money."

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "My restaurant's congee hot pot is always open, and we always need clay pots. Also, Xiu, when I buy things from your shop, don't you give me a discount?"

"There will definitely be a discount. If you buy this time, I'll give you a 30% discount."

Hearing about the discount, Qi Yuan smiled.

Xiu then inquired whether Qi Yuan had any Dongzhou products he wanted. The caravan would set off for Dongzhou again, and it would be a month before they returned, which would be just in time to bring back a batch of products.

Qi Yuan thought about it and realized that there were indeed some things he wanted, so he took a piece of paper and wrote them down for Xiu.

They didn't chat for long.

Noah is back.

He saw a group of people gathered in the living room and asked in confusion, "What are you all doing here?"

Upon seeing Noah, Nick was the most nervous. He immediately stood up and said, "Master, you're back. I'm here to report on my mission."

"Come to the study." Noah's expression was blank, yet he exuded an air of authority.

Xiu showed no sense of seriousness and said, "I'll go too. I also have something to report."

Noah glanced at Xiu indifferently, without saying a word.

He arrived at the study first, followed by Xiu and Nick.

Once inside the study and Noah was seated, Nick pulled a paper bag from his pocket. "Master, I've taken care of the five people you asked me to kill."

Noah picked up the paper bag and opened it. Inside were five human skins tattooed with the Davis family hound emblem, and ten eyes. At first glance, it looked very bloody and terrifying.

However, Nick's organization, the Bluebird, does gouge out the eyes of the victims after they kill them, as a sign that the mission is complete.

Noah was not familiar with the betraying hounds and could not tell whether the eyeballs belonged to them or not; he only looked at the skin of people with tattoos.

The tattoos on hunting dogs have a number that represents their different identities. This number is very small, but those who are familiar with them can recognize it at a glance.

Noah was certain that these skins belonged to the hounds who had betrayed the Davis family.

Judging from the subcutaneous tissue, the killer who solved the problem probably didn't peel off the skin; the human skin still had some flesh attached.

Noah tossed the human skin back onto the table with some disdain and asked, "How did you find it?"

“They didn’t leave Gondia; they were hiding in a tavern. I know a lot of information brokers in Gondia, and they were caught by me after hiding in the tavern for a short time.”

Was there an interrogation?

"It has been reviewed."

"What did they ask you?"

"After the assassination attempt failed, they waited for Ryan Davis's orders, but they never received them."

Upon hearing this, Noah leaned back and smiled.

He wanted to express his opinion on the report, but then he thought that these two guys in front of him were not his confidants, so there was no need to say too much to them.

After a moment's thought, Noah asked, "Besides that, did you not ask anything else? For example, what promises did Ryan Davis make to them that made them betray the current head of the family?"

“Ryan Davis told them that he would make the North Continent more peaceful and give it a new lease on life. And if they helped him regain his position as head of the family, Ryan Davis would give them money and a house, freeing them from their status as Davis family hounds and allowing them to live the lives of ordinary people.”

Noah was somewhat surprised by the last sentence.

The Davis family's hounds can retire, but the retirement age is around forty-five. Of course, because the hounds have to do the most dangerous work for Noah, the average lifespan of the hounds is around thirty-five years.

Few people live to retirement age.

Most of the hounds in Gangdia are around thirty years old, and some are in their twenties. Why are they wanting to retire so early?

No.

It's less about retiring and more about wanting to live to be a hundred.

"Uncle, what is your plan to make the North Continent peaceful?" Noah asked again.

Noah didn't expect Nick to answer this question. After all, he had Nick interrogate the captured hounds, but the hounds were unlikely to say much.

Nick has already interrogated enough people; any further interrogations would be a pleasant surprise.
