Chapter 2090 Spicy Escargots
“What!?”
The two middle-aged men had shock on their faces.
The short and fat middle-aged man stared at Fitch, and said, “Were they all bought out? All of them?!”
“Yes.” Fitch nodded. He couldn’t understand why the two of them had such a reaction.
The tall and lean middle-aged man slapped his thigh, and regretfully said, “Sigh. We were still too late.”
“I didn’t expect that there would be people who came earlier than us. We shouldn’t have eaten that lunch.” That short and fat middle-aged man was also very regretful.
Fitch and his subordinate stood at the side with befuddlement. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
“In this case, the person who entrusts you to rent out the 100-odd properties is that buyer, right? Can you tell us who he is?” the tall and lean middle-aged man asked Fitch.
Fitch shook his head, and apologetically answered, “I’m sorry. This is our client’s privacy. We can’t share it.”
The two middle-aged men looked at each other, and saw a hint of frustration with a wasted opportunity in each other’s eyes.
“I’m a little curious. Why are you two gentlemen interested in Romo Street’s shops suddenly? After all, as you said, Romo Street doesn’t have human traffic.” Fitch asked the two of them a question with curiosity.
“Since there are no shops for us to buy anymore, I don’t mind telling you the truth. Both Titan Tavern and Saipan Tavern on Romo Street won the gold awards at today’s liquor-tasting event, and they both got full marks,” the short and fat middle-aged man said, and then lamented, “You might look down on the current Romo Street, but you won’t be worthy of the Romo Street in the future.”
“What! Twin gold awards!” The eyes of Fitch and his subordinate widened at the same time.
As a proper salesperson, Fitch knew very well the rationale behind a street’s popularity.
He hadn’t witnessed the Romo Street’s boom in the past, but he had heard his seniors mention many times how Romo Street had prospered after the Titan Tavern had received the gold award back then and had been popular for over 10 years. It was just because Titan Tavern lost Marcus and became a normal tavern that Romo Street began to decline and finally became like this.
However, both Titan Tavern and Saipan Tavern took back the liquor-tasting event’s gold awards today. One could only imagine the crowd that these two taverns would bring to Romo Street in the future.
Romo Street was going to return to its glory, and it wasn’t impossible for it to go to even higher levels.
Meanwhile, Saipan Tavern… Wasn’t that Mr. Hades’ tavern?!
Fitch gulped, and saw the same thoughts in his subordinate’s eyes.
He suddenly thought of one terrible thing. Mr. Hades had targeted Romo Street from the very beginning when he bought over 100 properties in one go. He had already thought of making Saipan Tavern the anchor point and making Romo Street return to its previous glory.
Moreover, he only prepared to rent the shops after Saipan Tavern got the gold award today, and he set up many restrictive conditions and a rental price that was much higher than the market rate.
That wasn’t a rate that was much higher than the market rate, but a very reasonable rental rate.
Furthermore, Mr. Hades buying the last 33 buildings was equivalent to controlling over half of the good shop fronts on Romo Street.
Perhaps, no one could even vote “no “if this street was to change its name to Hades Street.
One could only imagine how valuable the over 100 properties in Mr. Hades’ hands would be after Romo Street returned to its full glory!
Mr. Hades is such an extraordinary person! Fitch felt extremely shocked.
Just as he was gloating over 2,000,000 in commission, the other party was already considering a business deal that was worth billions of dollars. Perhaps this was the difference in their outlook in life.
The two middle-aged men walked towards the tavern that was for sale. Fitch’s words made them determined to buy this tavern today. Otherwise, it would be difficult to buy such a lowly priced asset after the news got out
The subordinate gulped, and asked Fitch, “Supervisor, is all this part of Mr. Hades’
plan?”
“I would’ve thought it could’ve been luck if only Titan Tavern had got the gold award” – Fitch waved the proposal in his hands bitterly – “but even Saipan Tavern got the gold award. Furthermore, Mr. Hades even gave me such a detailed proposal. It already explains everything.” “He must have earned a lot of money, right?”
“The similar shop fronts on tavern street in the north of the city cost about 5,000,000.” Fitch was trying not to look too jealous.
“Hissss…” The subordinate sucked in a breath of cold air, and jealously said, “Those owners who sold their properties today are going to cry their hearts out.”
Fitch laughingly said, “They have nothing to complain about. Mr. Hades did this with his own ability. If he hadn’t entered Romo Street, the commercial value of this street would’ve already hit rock bottom. He will be the new creator of this street.”
“That’s true. It’s really admirable.” The subordinate nodded too.
In their hearts, Mag had changed from an idiot to a business magnate. “Go and stick up the notices quickly. Renting all these shops out alone could hit all our next month’s target.” Fitch hurried his subordinate smilingly.
“Alrighty!” the subordinate answered energetically.
The two of them stopped and gawked around when they passed by Saipan Tavern before leaving with surprise.
Meanwhile, the news of Saipan Tavern and Titan Tavern both winning the gold awards had already spread on Romo Street.
The bosses that stayed behind on Romo Street didn’t believe it at first, but after confirming it, many of them wept with joy.
They still remembered the glory of Romo Street in the past. Just as they thought they couldn’t hold on any longer, these twin gold awards appeared like rain after a long drought, giving these bosses who thought of quitting a boost.
The Titan Tavern supported the entire street alone back then. With another Saipan Tavern, anyone could see the future of Romo Street.
A waiter ran into a tavern, and whispered to the owner, who was enthusiastically bargaining with the two middle-aged men about the sales of the tavern for 100 or 200 copper coins of price difference.
The tavern’s boss was taken aback, and asked the waiter, “Are you sure?!”
“They are talking about this out there. The news has already spread throughout Rodu, so it has to be true.” The waiter nodded with conviction.
The two middle-aged men looked at each other, and said “Oh no” inwardly.
“Then let’s go with the price you decided and sign the documents.” The short and fat man hurried him.
The tavern’s boss shook his head smilingly. “Wait a sec. I’m sorry, gentlemen. I’m not selling this tavern anymore.”
“We have already reached this stage of negotiation. Isn’t it inappropriate to change your mind now?” the tall and lean middle-aged said with a frown.
“You two gentlemen hid the news, and tried to buy my tavern at a low price. Isn’t it inappropriate too?” The tavern’s boss stopped smiling and sneered. “I didn’t know about Titan Tavern and Saipan Tavern getting the gold awards, because I didn’t go to the liquor-tasting event today, but the two of you shouldn’t take me as an idiot, either.” “Forget it. Let’s go look for other shops.” The short and fat middle-aged man sighed and walked out of the shop.
The tall and lean middle-aged man also resignedly left.
After the two of them left, the tavern’s boss told the waiter, “Quick! Go remove the sign on the door, and then contact a construction team. Close the shop for three days, and then refurbish the entire tavern!”
“Such a rush?”
The waiter was a little taken aback. The boss, who was having a headache over the tavern being unsaleable, actually rejected the other party’s offer, and was even prepared to refurbish the tavern.

“Of course. We will lose money if we are late!” Boss pushed the waiter out of the tavern, and removed the sign on the door himself. He didn’t forget to remind the waiter, “Go get the construction team here today, and we will start the work tonight. The earlier we can finish, the better. It’s even fine to pay more!” “A-alright.” The waiter left with befuddlement.
Similar situations were happening all over Romo Street.
The shops that had “for sale” signs on their doors quickly removed them.
Meanwhile, those dirty and rundown shops began to start cleaning up or closing down to refurbish or upgrade right away.
Those shops that had converged because of Titan Tavern back then were indeed a little outdated.
The low popularity caused the inertia to refurbish. With the popularity of the twin gold awards, all the bosses had the thought of upgrading their shops.

“Miss, everyone knows that we got the gold award now. Many people came to congratulate us.” Mala dashed into the workshop excitedly, and reported to Eiffie, who was operating the machine seriously.
Eiffie closed the machine, and said to Mala, “Don’t run around if you have nothing to do. Go watch after the construction team. We must make sure the refurbishment and expansion are done properly. The Titan Tavern in the future will be different from the one in the
past.”
“Yes.” Mala nodded, turned around, and walked a few steps away before she turned to ask Eiffie perplexedly, “But Miss, why don’t you accept Mr. Boris’ offer? Not only will you have many taverns, you can also call them ‘Titan Taverns.’ You don’t even have to work hard and brew liquor here every day. You can also sleep in every day.”
“All that little head of yours is sleep, sleep, and sleep, and nothing else.” Eiffie flicked Mala’s forehead with exasperation. She looked at the brewery and shook her head with a smile. “I don’t need so many taverns. I only want this tavern that Father and Mother left to me. Furthermore, I like to brew liquor. I like to truly inherit Father’s career and brew the authentic Titan Liquor. This is what makes me happy.”
“Oh.” Mala nodded as if she understood Eiffie’s words.
“Go and work now.” Eiffie waved her hand, and chased Mala out of the brewery.
Boris indeed gave her a very sincere price when he talked to her today. Partner of Reese Tavern with 30% shares. She could earn hundreds of millions of dividends every year while keeping Titan Tavern to herself.
However, he also made a condition that she couldn’t accept-sharing the aged Titan Liquor and the brewing methods.
Hence, Eiffie rejected Boris’ invitation, even though he said he was her father’s good friend.
She only wanted to run Titan Tavern properly, and let it become one of Rodu’s best taverns like it had been before.
She could only supply 50 bottles of aged Titan Liquor every day, so she had to brew even more Titan Liquor, and sell bottles according to their year to provide to more customers and not depending on her father’s old stash.

Mag had also received many congratulations from their neighbors, and he also thanked them for their friendliness.
Neighbors should take care of one another.
As for these bosses’ plans to refurbish their shops, Mag was very supportive too. One big reason that Romo Street lost its competitiveness was because all the shops on the street looked too old.
The customers all favored new things. Apart from those old shops whose core competitiveness was their flavor, people liked to go after the new shops, even if those shops only looked new.
“Father, these neighbors are so nice.” The table in front of Amy was filled with food. It was given by the neighbors who came to congratulate them.
Everyone knew that the tavern’s boss had a pair of adorable daughters, so they gave them little snacks and little toys.
YS.
“Yes. They are the rare good neighbors.” Mag nodded smilingly.
Saipan Tavern brought back a gold award, and these neighbors were going to benefit from it directly. It was normal that they were so friendly.
What made him happy was that Saipan Tavern’s fame had already broken through 1000 after the liquor-tasting event in the morning. It had reached 2122.
Moreover, this number was still climbing steadily.
With the power of the word of mouth and the recognition of the liquor-tasting event, even customers who hadn’t been to Saipan Tavern to taste it for themselves had become Saipan Tavern’s fans too.
It was indeed right to take part in this liquor-tasting event. Mag nodded with satisfaction.
“Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission: the tavern’s popularity has broken through 1000! Reward received: a recipe for spicy escargot!”
The system’s voice appeared in Mag’s mind.
“Sucking escargots…” Mag raised his brows slightly. This was no doubt a challenge to the people of the alternate world. Many chowhounds who came from flower-planting families couldn’t even grasp that skill; they could only depend on toothpicks for help.
Furthermore, it was rumored that a man who knew how to suck out an escargot had more choices when it came to selecting a mate. Of course, Mag didn’t understand what that meant. It was just a rumor.
The spicy escargots were a traditional side dish that went well with drinks. It was considered a little surprise as a reward.
Mag knew how to suck out an escargot, and he was very popular with the ladies. That was quite true.
Because the Saipan Tavern’s Maotai received the liquor-tasting event’s gold award, Mag decided to give himself a day off to celebrate.
A sign was hanging on the door. Mag flicked a glance at Titan Tavern that was under renovation.
Those liquor lovers who came after hearing the news would most probably weep after seeing this scene.
“Little Amy, Annie, we are going out for an errand, and will only return later. You two stay at home by yourself, and don’t leave the house, alright?” Mag locked the door from the inside, and spoke to Annie and Amy, who had just returned from the wishing well with the snack gift package. “Are you guys going to beat up the bad eggs?” Amy asked.
“Yes. We are going to maintain the world’s peace.” Mag nodded with a smile.
Amy’s eyes lit up, and she looked at him expectantly. “Can you bring me along too? I can fight very well too.”
Mag caressed her head, and said, “Not this time. This bad egg is very dangerous. You can go when you are older and stronger, Amy.”
“Alright.” Amy nodded obediently. She didn’t insist.
“Remember. Do not open the door no matter who comes along. The door is locked from within. No one can enter,” Mag reminded them again, and watched the children go upstairs before stepping into the teleportation portal together with Irina.
The tavern had the system’s enhanced 9th-tier defense and Irina’s spell formations. As long as it wasn’t attacked by many 10th-tier powerhouses, it could hold until they returned home.
Mag had just received Merante’s letter. They had discovered an unusual spot in the north, and asked Mag to check it out.
As the matter concerned the Great Old Ones, Mag naturally didn’t dare to delay it.
And Irina asked to go with him.
