Chapter 1610: Is It Really Pig’s Eyes?

The news of the Marquis Family being investigated and Bowen and Joseph being arrested caused quite a ripple effect in Chaos City’s business circle.

It was unexpected for the Marquis Family, one of the four major families in the Chamber of Commerce and one of the founding families of the Chamber of Commerce with billions in net worth, to suddenly collapse.

Although the Buffett Family and Moreton Family had increased the gap with the Marquis Family and Dodges Family over the years, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse, and the Marquis Family was still a big figure in Chaos City.

When news of Bennett being arrested had spread, many had guessed if the Marquis Family would’ve been implicated. However, judging from how things had progressed afterward, it had seemed that not only had the Marquis Family not gotten implicated, they had even managed to take over some of Bennett’s assets which appeared clean, and had emerged as the biggest winner in that incident.

However, it had only been a few days, and the Gray Temple aimed their swords against the Marquis Family. This caused quite a commotion.

Some said that the Marquis Family had made use of Bennett’s power, and had also dabbled in things that they shouldn’t, leading to the investigation.

Others said that the Marquis Family’s leader had taken over Bennett’s assets by force, and that caught the Gray Temple’s attention, leading to the investigation.

Some even said that it was because Bowen’s son had seduced the lover of some big shot in the Gray Temple, causing the tragedy to happen.

“That fellow, Bowen, is too greedy. I told his father that back in those days. If it were me, I would rather pass the entire family over to that wastrel Bennett than to Bowen,” Ian lamented after taking a sip of tea to Scheer, who had yet to finish her breakfast.

Scheer put the last bite of bread into her mouth and chewed well. She picked up her white handkerchief and wiped her mouth. After making sure that there were no more crumbs left, she calmly said, “That wastrel is currently in the jail, and that’s where he’s going to stay.”

“If Old Marquis had been slightly fairer to him back then, all these things wouldn’t have happened,” Ian lamented.

“I’m afraid the Marquis Family will never be able to get back on their feet again. Even if Bennett had taken over Bowen as the head of the Marquis Family, I don’t think he would’ve known his place,” Scheer said as she shook her head.

Ian was stunned. He looked at Scheer and pondered for a while before smilingly saying, “I have the best foresight among the four major families.”

“As for that, I agree.” Scheer nodded.

Ian quickly stopped smiling, and said, “Our family better don’t meddle in this incident. Since Dominic has been caught, it seems like the city lord has set his mind on cleaning up the gray area in Chaos City. I reckon a lot more people would be arrested after this.”

“I’ve already done an internal investigation, and will hand those problematic fellows over to the Gray Temple for them to do as they please.” Scheer nodded.

“Well done.” Ian put his teacup down, and stood up with a smile as he said, “Do you want to feed the fishes?”

“No, I’ll have to make a trip to the city lord’s castle to meet that first prince who traveled all the way here.” Scheer shook her head.

“Go ahead, then. I’ll go fishing.” Ian did not probe further. He put his hands behind him and strolled away.

Scheer stood up and watched Ian leave the restaurant before leaving while turning to her assistant, who hurried behind her with a briefcase, and asking, “Have you found out if Mr. Mag has anything to do with the Marquis Family’s investigation?”

“There’s no evidence linking the two together as of now, but an employee called Rena from Mamy Restaurant just got a shop that was originally under Bennett’s name. In addition, she had some conflicts with the Marquis Family with regards to the ownership of that property,” the secretary quickly answered.

“Employee?” Scheer frowned.

“Yes. Bennett seemed to have some conflict with her, and I think this shop was given to her directly from the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple.” The secretary nodded, and continued, “If there’s a need, I can investigate this matter.”

“That won’t be necessary. I’ve been worried that Mr. Mag would be oppressed by the Marquis Family. It looks like my worries were unfounded. We’ll stop this here. You don’t have to investigate further,” Scheer said.

“Yes.” The secretary nodded, and started reporting the next matter.

Mag came out from the test field for the God of Cookery. He opened his eyes, and the alarm clock at the side rang.

He spaced out for a moment before switching it off. After listening to the crackling sound of the flames and the sizzling sound of the pig’s eyes on the grill for more than 100 days, even the alarm became music to his ears.

“Why don’t I launch the roasted pig’s eyes today? On top of that, I must roast them in the glass partition so that the customers can see it…” Mag’s lips turned up slowly. Otherwise, he would have wasted those over 100 days of hard work to perfect the roasted pig’s eyes.

The number of pig’s eyes he’d roasted could be linked together to make 10 rounds around a pigsty.

That would be a very impactful advertisement.

Mag did not waste any more time in bed. He dispelled the discomfort from staying in the test field for the God of Cookery for too long, and went straight out of bed to take a cold shower. He then changed into his chef’s suit, and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Mag suppressed the urge to add the roasted pig’s eyes into the luxurious morning breakfast set, fearing that it might scare everyone early in the morning and affect their appetite.

“Father, what delicious food have you made today?” Amy was the first to be downstairs. She tip-toed and looked through the kitchen door.

“Soybean milk, youtiao, tofu pudding, everything. Amy, you can have whatever you want,” Mag said with a smile as he looked at Amy, who had a little lump of hair standing amidst her long silver flock.

The young fellow had already changed into her white down jacket. She looked extremely cute, just like a round little penguin, but her hair was not brushed.

Because of Irina’s special hair-brushing technique, Mag had taken the initiative to be responsible for Amy’s hair.

After all, Irina had her hair down all the time, so she had no experience with hair brushing. She would usually follow her imagination, and end up with a lightning rod hairstyle.

“Mm…” Amy pondered for a while before saying, “Then I’ll have a set of youtiao with sweet tofu pudding and a serving of pepper steak, medium-well, with more ketchup at the side.”

“Alright. Let’s wait for the big sisters to come before we eat together.” Mag nodded with a smile. He had no opinions on the little fellow’s matching since she would come up with different pairings to eat every day.

During breakfast, Mag announced the addition of a new dish.

“R-roasted pig’s eyes?” Babla, who was drinking her soybean milk, choked. She looked at Mag in disbelief.

“Is it really pig’s eyes?” Miya looked at Mag, equally shocked.

The women all had similar expressions. Other than shock, there was also a hint of horror.

“Yes. Charcoal-grilled roasted pig’s eyes,” Mag affirmed with a nod.
