"Whoo, Mr. Tax. I didn''t know your hands went so deep." Ulvoric said as there was white meat on his lips. "To think even the manager of the biggest restaurant in the capital would place such importance to you… tch tch, you make me feel more reassured than ever."


    I raise a brow, ''Him? Reassured?... shouldn''t it be the other way?''


    "If you don''t mind me asking, do you also have some connection to this restaurant?"


    "I do."


    "I knew it, you''re so influential-"


    "This is my restaurant."


    "…pardon?"


    "You heard right, Ulvoric. This is MY restaurant." I repeat to the guy who had crab falling off his mouth.


    "Really? You own the most influential restaurant in the capital!?"


    Yep, that''s true.


    FOOD! is my restaurant and also the most influential one in the kingdom. I built this place two month ago and brought in the best cooks from both Sekai and this kingdom had.


    Then I renovated the place in the most languish and beautiful style the kingdom had seen, within a month, this place become boozed with so many nobles and other people that all the other restaurants started to get bankrupt.


    And being the good guy I was, I brought all of them at market value.


    Now at the present point, this restaurant was the place where the most corrupt and influential people would come to conduct some deals. Most of all the security and privacy I gave won those people.


    "Now I would have to come here even more, Mr. Tax. Be sure to put some discounts in my name."


    "I''ll be sure to do that," I say, putting no real promise, "Now, tell me why is Lazarus Blackshot back in the academy when you had already kicked him out."


    "Straight to business huh?" Ulvoric murmured as he put the claw down.


    "Well, I''ll also be straight with you, I did my part in the deal and got him kicked. But I can''t keep him out if the academy wants to bring him in." Ulvoric wiped off his mouth with a napkin, "Though I will start the petition to kick him out again, but I don''t think that it''ll work."


    "Why wouldn''t the petition work?" I ask, "Is it because the students are against or… is the academy causing problems?"


    "Well, it definitely isn''t the students, in truth they really want the guy out." Then he turned serious, "And about the academy causing problems… I can''t really say." sea??h thё Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    I raise my brow again.


    "I don''t know why, but the inner council suddenly cut connections with the us. So I''m not getting information as much as I used to get."


    "I believe they started to think that there is a mole in the student council."


    I carefully nod to his words, "Yes, it should be time they thought so, otherwise the academy wouldn''t have lived up to its name… though they are still late to it."


    "But don''t worry, Mr. Tax. As long as you keep believing in me, I will do just as you tell me… of course, within limits." Ulvoric said, showing that disgusting greedy look of his.


    But it''s good that he''s like this… it''s easier to control people who are greedy then those that aren''t.


    "Okay, because of this new addition. There will be changes to the plan." I continue to tell him.


    …


    "You got it."


    "Of course, Mr. Tax." Ulvoric nodded as he finally got all the crab meat stains off him.


    "I''ll do exactly as you say, as much as possible." He smiled awkwardly.


    "Alright, you can go."


    "I''ll see you back at the academy." He politely gave a nod and got out.


    Seeing the guy leave, I look at the table. There was a lot of food on it, crab, chicken, beef, fish and a few others. Believe it or not, more than half of it was eaten by Ulvoric.


    So much greasy food would definitely fatten his slim figure but this worlds metabolism was a bit different. If people like Ulvoric did enough exercise, they would be able to keep their slim figure and also eat a lot of junk food.


    ''The guy eats more than he can chew… let''s hope he''s only like that when comes to food.''


    I bring out a small vial with purple liquid and look deeply at it.


    ''I wasn''t able to go out yesterday so I still don''t know what this is… but today I''m free and there are almost no spies on me. Maybe I should take a trip to base.''


    Looking at the time, it was about to turn 8''o clock.


    ''I''ll let Ulvoric get away before I go out. Even with no tail on me, I would have to be careful with certain matters.''


    So when the clock turned 8:15, I too got out of the room and found Noku by the stairs. Seeing me she immediately greeted.


    "Master, there is a message for you." Noku said and passed a white envelope.


    There was a red lipstick of a woman''s kiss at the front.


    "Who was it that delivered this?" I take a sniff and find the smell familiar.


    "It was a maid. She had cold features and seemed to come from a high family." Noku''s smiled turned awry, "She said to give this letter to you and say it''s from your fang bang… I think that''s the word."


    ''Ooh, from Abigail!'' I quickly open the envelop and read it.


    ''Vistiria Road, Mansion 5.''


    That''s all she wrote.


    I suppose this was either a code or literally the place she wants me to go. She was always a bit vague with her message but I understand. She needed to keep herself protected.


    She is the queen, almost all her letters… even secret ones might get leaked to certain people. And she couldn''t have me be exposed. It would ruin both of us. More so for me than her.


    So both of us write cryptic letters to each other… until we don''t need to.


    "Noku, arrange a carriage for me."


    "I already have, master." Noku bowed.


    She wasn''t just the manager of this restaurant but also a close worker. She held great respect for me and because of her kingdom''s customs, she would bow to me.


    "How''s the business? I hear that its booming." I say as we walk the stairs.


    "Booming would be right word, master. Especially with your idea of putting beautiful girls to greet people was a big success. Now a lot of young masters come here… sometimes just to get greeted by the maids." Noku said with a light laugh.


    "There were some people that caused trouble for us… but I took care of them and since then we haven''t had any problem."


    "That''s good." I nod, "And how are you?"


    "Ehhm!"


    I grabbed her butt and give a soft squeeze to it, "You doing okay… in certain places?"


    Noku blushed at me as I squeezed her butt, "M- Master… someone might see us." She wasn''t protesting even a little, in fact she liked that I was giving her some attention.


    "Why don''t we go upstairs and continue this in one of the rooms?" She had a slightly lusty gaze as she asked that.


    Yep… she''s that kind of close friend too, wink wink.


    I smile, "I''m sorry but I can''t." I let go of her butt, causing her to pout, "I have a special someone waiting for me."


    "Master, why tease me like that?" Noku said with a light pout.


    "Don''t be like that, later I''ll spend some time with you." Noku immediately smiled at that.


    With that, I was about to get out but stop when I see someone familiar.
