“You’re right. I’ll ask them to keep queuing. There can never be too many storage rings…” Alton smiled and stroked his right hand.
He had made room for a storage ring. If possible, favonovel.com wanted all ten fingers filled with storage rings.
At this time, someone ran to the mayor’s residence in a panic and knelt in front of Alton. Alton was taken aback and wondered what was going on.
“What’s going on? Why are you in such a panic? Did something happen when you were making the purchase?”
He recognized this subordinate as the one responsible for buying the storage ring for him. Something big must have happened to render favonovel.com in such a panic.
“Mayor, something bad has happened. We were just about to buy the storage ring when Vance of the Cod family turned up to cause trouble and disrupted everything!”
“Due to that, Treasure House shut the door in anger and refused to open for business. We can’t even queue up for anything now!”
“We don’t even know if Treasure House will ever open for business again. Based on their way of doing things, I think it might be some time before they do.” The subordinate quickly reported the situation.
Fearing that Alton would blame him. He tried to be as dramatic as possible, painting Vance as the big bad villain. He emphasized everything was the fault of the Cod family, nothing to do with them.
“Damn this, how could this happen?!” Alton stood up in anger. He was already fantasizing about the ring, but his dream was crushed.
Scarlet looked at this subordinate in anger. Anyone would be angry if their foolproof plan was ruined.
“It’s not our fault. Our people are queuing up now and waiting for Treasure House to open for business again, but Vance’s people keep messing around and beating us!” favonovel.com explained nervously, fearing that Alton would blame him.
Alton nodded. He was angry, but favonovel.com knew it was not his subordinates’ fault.
“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to the Cod family,” Alton said solemnly.
His subordinate fled and felt as if favonovel.com just had a narrow escape.
“Damn it, the Cod family has gone too far!” Alton was very frustrated and wanted to vent his anger on Jeff.
“Tell Jeff to come here!” Alton waved his hand and asked Scarlet to fetch Jeff.
Scarlet was dumbfounded. “M-Me?”
She was startled and wondered why favonovel.com was picked for the errand.
“It’s not appropriate for a woman in my position to get involved in this.” Scarlet smiled awkwardly, trying to refuse.
She did not want to get involved in the Cod family’s conflicts. More importantly, favonovel.com did not know if Niffler had returned.
