To others, had they agreed to what Christopher had just said, they would surely suffer a loss. The cost of operating the food and beverage industry was not something that could be done with a mere few millions. This was a scenario that would easily reach tens of millions—perhaps even close to 100 million. In fact, more than 100 million was extremely normal for someone like Harold. For his food and beverage industry, whether it was in the aspect of production, sales, marketing, and various channels, they had already become extremely mature. With this, the expenditure would definitely be reduced by more than half. For Harold, his original plan was to help Christopher so he would owe him a favor. After all, Christopher’s favor was the most important thing to Harold at this point. Christopher casually looked at Harold, who was right in front of him. In fact, he wanted to get 100 million from Harold directly. He believed that since Harold was tempted by these two dishes, he would definitely be willing to invest the 100 million. Even Christopher could tell the market value of these two dishes—it would be tremendous. Christopher thought that it would just be a humble estimation to say they could earn another 100 million with these dishes. However, Christopher felt that compared to the 100 million, it would undoubtedly be better to have Harold help him out this way. He also didn’t want to end up owing Harold too many favors. Exchanging funds for 10% of the shares would be considered a huge profit to Harold. Of course, the benefits for Christopher were also great. With Harold's help, his two dishes would sooner or later become a famous brand in Brentwood City, and even in the whole of Madrila. “President Myers, if you are free, we can try the effects of these two dishes now to prove that I am not exaggerating,” Christopher stood up and said with a smile. “Heh, don’t put it this way. Please rest assured knowing that I would believe everything that is developed by you, Divine Doctor Yard. However, since you have invited me to see the results for myself, I suppose I shouldn’t reject your offer. After you.” Harold showed a slight smile after speaking. Having said that, he was still a little doubtful in his heart. The effects of these dishes claimed by Christopher were really beyond his understanding and sounded out of this world. However, for the benefit of his company, plus the fact that this was proposed by Christopher, he would be crazy if he refused the offer. Even though both of them said that they were here for a meal, they both knew that they were here for a business discussion instead. It didn’t matter whether there were plans to eat or not. After leaving the hotel, Christopher asked Harold to drive his Aston Martin to his Thumbs-Up Restaurant. After arriving at the restaurant, Christopher made an Instantly Handsome Pie and Beauty Soup. As Christopher brought over the pie and soup and presented it in front of Harold, Harold’s eyes glowed after smelling the aroma of the food. In a heartbeat, he finished the pie. Harold took a look at his appearance and found that he had turned better looking; some of the freckles on his face had disappeared. The change of his face caused his eyes to be filled with disbelief. Soon after that, Christopher invited a woman to drink the soup in front of her. And when Harold saw the change in her appearance, he could hardly believe what he saw—just like Jules and the people before him. Harold came to his senses. Finally believing it now, he said excitedly, “Divine Doctor Yard, my company will work on the proposal to make these two dishes into a famous brand starting today. I will not let you down—you have my word.” Then, Harold, who was about to leave, seemed to have thought of something suddenly and turned to look at Christopher. “Divine Doctor Yard, the names of these two dishes will not be used as fraud, right?" In response to this, Christopher shook his head again. “In the whole world, only I can make these dishes—even if the others try to duplicate it, they would only be duplicating the surface at best.” Hearing what Christopher said, Harold finally felt at ease and nodded in understanding before he left. After Christopher made sure that there was nothing else, he hurried back to The Serenade. ...... “What? Are you saying that Maurice was killed by the police, and the body was taken back to the police station?” In a luxurious card room, Joshua slammed the cards on his subordinate’s head fiercely. The anger in his eyes couldn’t be concealed at all. “Y-Yes. According to our insiders, Maurice was too careless, so he died in the hands of the police and was gunned down by the snipers. In the end, he couldn’t even get close to Christopher, let alone kill him.” A man with a scar that extended from his eyes to his face suddenly stood and spoke tremblingly while lowering his head, afraid to look at Joshua, who was in front of him. “Go! Check it out for me right away! Something must be up with this Christopher. Otherwise, how could there even be policemen who would try to protect him? Find out everything about him and tell me everything. Remember, we shouldn’t act rashly until we find out what he has up his sleeves.” Joshua stepped on the cards that were on the ground hard with his feet and took a deep breath to calm his mood before ordering his subordinates. Scarface nodded immediately. When he was about to go off, Joshua seemed to have thought of something and asked coldly, “How's the business going over there?” “They are said to be catching up. It is estimated that they will be able to carry out operations soon. After the police loosens up a little, they will be able to act better when the time comes. It will take up to 2 weeks maximum.” Without any hesitation, Scarface hurriedly explained specifically what Joshua wanted to know to him. "Very well. All of you had better keep an eye out. If you notice anything unusual, make sure you notify the others immediately. And if any of you are ever caught by the police, make sure you bite the poison in your mouth.” The corners of Joshua’s mouth curled up, revealing a sinister sneer. His face seemed gloomier than ever at this moment. “Yes, sir!” When Scarface heard this, his body trembled slightly, but he still nodded obediently. ...... When Christopher returned to The Serenade, he thought that there should be nothing going on today, but what Christopher didn’t expect was that, not long after returning to The Serenade, he saw Luna coming out again. As everyone in the restaurant knew, Luna would usually be in the office of The Serenade and rarely outside the restaurant. If she ever came out, it would mean something must have happened. At this moment, Christopher’s eyesight had gotten so much better. He could tell that Luna’s usually gentle eyes were now stained with a look of anxiety and anger, and her face was clearly filled with helplessness. Christopher took a look at the people around her. Among the crowd, someone was shouting and the rest followed; they were all looking at Luna one after another. Seeing that, Christopher hurriedly walked toward Luna, but before even reaching her, he heard, “Compensate us for what you’ve done to us. This is a heartless restaurant!” Hearing this, Christopher was taken aback.
