NovelEnglishChapter 715 Right after Alden and George left, Elder Maurice gulped down the whole plate of kidneys.
He licked the blood stains off his lips and said
with satisfaction, “I suppose the kidneys came from a four– or five–year–old child. They‘re tasty.”
As the saying went, you were what you ate. Hence, Elder Maurice believed his kidneys would become
stronger if he
consumed the kidneys of virgin boys.
The man behind the mask had turned icy cold. He tapped his fingers on the table
and bluntly said, “Mr. Maurice, did you come here just for the dish?”
Elder Maurice wiped the
corners of his lips with a piece of tissue paper. He then raised his chin and said, “I came to discuss
the Black Party‘s future operations with you.”

He took out a stack of documents. “I have no objections to you closing these industries. But what
about these ones? The casino is one of them. We‘ve
never committed any murders, or arson, or dealt with any heavy weapons over

Terry nonchalantly answered, “In
other countries, they have an established legal system to support their gambling business. We, on the
other hand, don‘t have
any suitable
legal system to support the business in this country. As a result, the business breeds crimes. Although
the casino looked no different from the
casinos in other countries on the surface, truth is, it provided opportunities for many unscrupulous activi
ties. It can easily expand to other kinds of profiteering from gambling” The Grand
Elder lost his patience and interrupted
Terry.“ But are you aware of the severe damage that you‘ll cause to the local
economy by closing so many industries? The money
in our treasury has been reduced by half this month. If things continue
like this, we won’t even be able to support our military…” “I‘ve obtained the town‘s reconstruction projec
t,” Terry said. “The project will provide Hestia with
new opportunities and development. You don‘t have to worry too much about the economy‘s growth.”
Elder Maurice almost puked at his indifferent response. He had
been in business in the area for forty or fifty years. He had established his own
network of power long ago. After Auguste‘s death, his area of
power was affected. Fortunately, he was aware of his situation, and he humbly accepted
reality, which saved his remaining family business.
Little did he know that not long after, he would face an Astroysian–Terry–
who intended to reform Hestia. Most of Elder Maurice‘s industries were illegal and
considered profiteering. Once the reformation took place, he would lose his source of income. It
would be a fatal blow to him and his family. Luckily, Elder Maurice controlled the economic lifeline of the
military in the area, so he did not have to submit to Terry for
the time being. Elder Maurice snorted. “We‘ll
only be able to generate profits from the reconstruction project after a year. I wonder how you plan to a
ppease the military this year!” He swung his hands and left.
When he arrived at the entrance, Isabelle approached him. “Father, how are
things going? Have you talked to him?»
Elder Maurice frowned. “About?”
“Didn‘t I ask you to talk to him about our marriage contract?” Isabelle stomped on

him. But he refuses to accept me as his fiancee. It‘s so humiliating for me!”
“Belle, I‘m reassigning you to a different
mission,” Elder Maurice whispered. “Kill him whenever you get the chance.”
Isabelle looked around them warily and said in horror, “ Father, are you crazy? How can I possibly kill hi
m? He killed Auguste! He‘s so powerful that I‘m afraid he‘ll kill me as well.”
“If you don’t kill him, our family will fall apart!” Elder Maurice said with a huff.
He had planned to betroth his daughter to Terry to strengthen his family’s power. However, even if
his daughter were to marry Terry, she would not change his decision to reform Hestia.
The only way was to make Terry disappear from this world.
“Belle, you‘re my most beloved daughter. I have no choice but to assign you this mission,” Elder Mauric
e said earnestly. “If you execute this
mission successfully , I‘ll be the next leader. Once that happens, I‘ll find you all the men you desire.”

Isabelle was stunned.
She could already ask for any man she desired with her current status.
