Walter kept his eyes on his subordinate, who was about to take the middle-aged man from earlier into custody, and he finally heaved a sigh of relief before saying to Jim by his side, “Christopher caught one of our men when he was at the hospital earlier. Luckily this happened in the Southeast District. If it happened at Southwest District, then it’s quite likely that our cover would have been blown.” As soon as Jim heard that, he nodded approvingly. Just then, he clenched his right fist tightly and spoke with a solemn expression, “Next time, be more careful. Don’t act so recklessly. Even if we’re in the Southeast District, there’s still a lot of other policemen who’re not in cahoots with us. Most importantly, if that guy realizes that there’s an issue from our side, we would be in hot water!” As soon as Jim finished his sentence, there was a noticeable sheen of perspiration on his forehead. In fact, his position as the Deputy Director of the Department of Public Security of Brentwood City was obtained with the help of that man. If an issue arose from the Southeast District, he would definitely be dead meat. If it wasn’t for the backing of that person, then there’s no way on earth—even if one gave me all the guts in the world—that I’d dare to go up against Noah. Although I’m merely one position below him, clearly, there’s a huge difference in our authority. Now that his backer wanted to make a move, he had no choice but to follow suit. Right now, they were in the same boat and whoever was on the boat—including Jim—had to follow the instructions of that person. Next to him, Walter nodded his head earnestly upon hearing that. He was also well aware that the man had other agendas and if there were any missteps, it would be quite hard to say whether they would be able to retain their lives. ...... As soon as Christopher got back to the Southwest District, he immediately made his way to Luna’s because he planned to have a discussion with her about the matters of Thumbs-Up Restaurant. Right now, he had to travel back and forth between The Serenade and Thumbs-Up Restaurant every morning. The portions he had to prepare for Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, Instantly Handsome Pie, and Beauty Soup increased day by day but with his trusty 10-second Instant Pot, he wasn’t too worried that there would be an issue. Christopher then mused to himself, Should I get someone I trust to help me with the cooking? If he chose to do so, then this would make life easier for himself as there would be no need for him to rush back and forth between the two restaurants. All he had to do each day was to supervise. As such, he would have more time to spare on other things, such as starting up his chain restaurant. Right now, everything was merely at the planning stage and he hadn’t started to carry out any of his plans yet. If he could get the restaurant up and running, then his Thumbs-Up Points would definitely increase at lightning speed. By then, surely he would be able to easily achieve one hundred thousand Thumbs-Up points. Of course, it would be a problem to shift the 10-second Instant Pot to the restaurant but he recalled that there was another object in the Thumbs-Up Online Mall that could fulfill his needs. However, it would require a significant amount of Thumbs-Up Points. Before Christopher arrived at Luna’s, his phone went off and he took out his phone right away while walking toward the restaurant. Just then, he noticed from the caller ID that it was Luna on the line. Feeling slightly perplexed, he stared at her name on the phone before answering it. At that instance, a soft, melodious voice rang out from his phone. “Hi Christopher! Are you free right now? I want to talk to you about the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup.”He was slightly taken aback upon hearing that because he realized that recently, Luna seemed to be finding him more and more frequently to discuss work. This was much more evident after he had helped her win that Porsche and came up with the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. “Miss Sears, I’m about to reach your office. Let’s talk when I get there.” Christopher smiled and replied right away. “Okay!” From the other end, Luna’s voice seemed to be tinged with a slight tone of surprise but she skilfully replied with a single word. As usual, Christopher was just about to knock on the door upon arriving at Luna’s office. However, her jovial voice rang out from the office before he could even lift his hand to knock. “In the future, you don’t have to knock and you can enter the room directly to see me. After all, you’re The Serenade’s infamous chef and I can’t imagine what we would do without you! It would be a huge loss for us if you decided to leave.” Meanwhile, Christopher noticed the stunning smile on her exquisite face and he brazenly looked into her dewy eyes. “Miss Sears, I wouldn’t bear to leave unless you decided to kick me out.” Immediately after that, without giving Lina the chance to respond, he immediately changed the topic. “Miss Sears, recently, I have had difficulty getting here on time every morning but as we require a massive quantity of Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup each day, I’ve come up with a compromise—assign someone else to make the soup. Luna heard his previous sentence and the perfect curvature on her lips widened. However, right after she heard his words after the change in topic, she gaped slightly at him with her perfect cherry-like lips as she gave a loud gasp out of utter surprise. “Assign someone else to make it?” Luna’s breath quickened as soon as she heard those words and her chest heaved slightly at that instance. Truth was, she was quite shocked by his words. Can an ordinary person succeed in perfecting the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup? It is a specialized dish after all. Christopher immediately nodded his head in response and he smiled confidently. “Of course it’s fine! The only thing is, you need to assign it to someone you trust very much. How about putting Scarlett in charge of this?” Meanwhile, Luna, who was quite confused with Christopher’s intentions, revealed an uncertain look but she nodded anyway. Suddenly, something dawned upon her and she quickly asked. “Are you sure that this plan will not affect the quantity and quality of the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup?” Just then, Christopher lightly sniffed and took a whiff of the sweet scent from Luna’s body while laughingly commenting, “Don’t worry. I can promise that The Serenade will have a continuous daily supply of Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. Besides, the quantity will only increase with each day and the quality will only get better and better.” Luna, who was already quite trusting of Christopher, immediately asked for the reason he wanted Scarlett to take over his job of preparing the soup. As soon as she realized that he had plans to start up a chain restaurant, her face was full of shock. “Are you planning to leave The Serenade?” Luna clenched her delicate fingers tightly all of a sudden and her eyes became downcast. At the moment, she was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Christopher smiled wanly upon hearing that. Resignedly, he mentioned, “Miss Sears, don’t fret. I won’t leave The Serenade. I’m quite happy with the income generated from the sales of Hundred Tonic Nourishing Soup and this is all because of your help!” She seemed to heave a sigh of relief upon hearing his words. Then, she revealed another perfect curvature upward of her lips. At the same time, she came out with a response with her sweet-smelling, cherry-like lips. “That’s great then! Make sure to come to work on time if you can.”
