Chapter 1585: I, Amy, Am Super Fierce!!!
“Seems like the fight just now was all a misunderstanding. I hope this young lady here could forgive our Marquis Family’s guards for their ill manners. We will be sure to teach them well,” Jonah told Amy with a smile, bringing out the magnanimity of a wealthy gentleman.
After that, he turned to Mag, and seriously said, “However, I doubt whatever Mr. Mag said was completely true. I am currently still unsure why Miss Rena would have the property deed of this shop with her because this shop belonged to the Marquis Family originally. It was under Bennett’s name previously, and he was arrested for some personal reasons. The Marquis Family would not side with or cover up for his wrongdoings, but the property and assets that belong to the Marquis Family should not be allowed to land in the hands of outsiders.”
Everyone thought about what he said. If that was the case, how that Miss Rena managed to get such a big and expensive shop was indeed dubious.
“You can pretend not to know, but I am going to tell you clearly right now.” Mag looked at Jonah, and coldly said, “Bennett was arrested and detained by the Gray Temple because he was involved in several murders, making and selling of drugs, kidnapping, and other heinous crimes. And all his assets were gained illegally to buy those shops and properties. In addition, he used various extreme measures to run and monopolize businesses in Chaos City.
“These seemingly decent assets, shops, and teahouses were purchased after money laundering. I suppose the Marquis Family should know very clearly where the money comes from, right? Do you think you can fool everyone just by claiming that it belongs to the Marquis Family? Do you think the Marquis Family rules the world, or do you think that everyone in the Gray Temple is a fool?”
“You...” Jonah’s face turned pale. He took two steps back subconsciously, and there was an inconcealable shock and agitation in his eyes.
How did Mag find out about all this?
In order to regain all these assets and properties, the Marquis Family had used up a lot of energy and resources to publicize their right of ownership, and even cut Bennett out completely. Jonah did not expect Mag to reveal all of these matters publicly.
As expected, the bystanders erupted into a chaotic chatter all of a sudden. All they heard was that the owner of “Ben” teahouse had been arrested, but no one knew that it had been because of such heinous crimes.
As the second young master of the Marquis Family, Bennett was rather well-known.
Now that everyone knew that the Marquis Family wanted to regain the properties that Benett got through illegal means, and even labeled them as their family’s properties, the Marquis Family’s reputation was already gone.
“Me? Did I say anything wrong? I reckon the Gray Temple will publicly announce the results of this matter soon. If the Marquis Family really has what it takes to bring the news down, then you can say that I was just spouting nonsense. Of course, I know you don’t have what it takes to do so.” Mag smiled, looked at the flustered Jonah, and continued, “You must be curious to know how the property deed for this shop ended up in Rena’s hands. If you can’t even find out the answer to that, I suppose the Marquis Family isn’t influential enough to be considered one of the four major families.”
“I...” Jonah’s face flushed red. This fellow’s words were so infuriating he just wanted to stuff his blabbering mouth shut.
“Don’t be too nervous. A young rascal like you definitely won’t be able to call the shots for something like this,” Mag said with a consoling smile. “Of course, if you really want to know why Rena owns this shop, you can go to the Gray Temple and ask. There’s no need for you to stand here and act all hypocritical. I’ve already put it out here today. This shop belongs to Rena. If anyone tries to seize it and harm her again...”
“...Don’t blame me for being too rough! Hmph! I, Amy, am super fierce!!!” Amy completed Mag’s sentence. She clutched her magic caster’s staff and waved her fist as she glared at them with her round blue eyes.
“Pfft... How cute!”
“Oh my God... this threat... is totally not threatening at all.”
The onlookers could not resist as they melted for Amy’s cuteness.
Jonah frowned. He had to say something in such a situation. Otherwise, he might bring trouble to the family.
“Little Amy, don’t you have classes in the afternoon?” Just then, a hoarse voice came from outside the circle of crowd. Everyone stepped aside to make a pathway for an old man in a semi-old magician robe and graying hair.
“This is?”
“Lord of Ice, Urien!”
“The adorable threat suddenly becomes very threatening...”
Everyone talked hushedly as they watched Urien with awe and respect.
Jonah’s face changed immediately. He quickly told Mag, “I will report this matter to my father. I believe the city lord’s castle will make a fair judgment. Before that, no one from the Marquis Family will appear here ever again.”
Jonah bowed respectfully to Urien after that, and left immediately.
“That’s it? Let’s have another round,” Amy called out to him passionately.
His pace hastened immediately, and he boarded the horse-drawn carriage quickly to leave, almost to the point of jogging.
“Really, not a single one of them could fight.” Amy shook her head with disappointment. She turned back to look at Urien, and quickly switched back to her cute smile as she kept her magic caster’s staff, and said, “Master, what are you doing here?”
“I’m here to bring you to class,” Urien replied.
“Alright. I’ve already beaten the baddies anyway. Then I will go attend class now.” Amy nodded and waved her little hand at Mag. “Father, I’m going to class.”
“Go on, and be good,” Mag replied with a smile.
“Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.” Amy nodded hard, and followed Urien to the magic potion shop.
The onlookers had dispersed, but the news about why Bennett had been arrested would definitely become one of the topics for gossip.
Urien’s appearance had successfully scared Jonah and the rest off.
Mag was not worried that the city lord’s castle would side with the Marquis Family. If that really happened, Michael would be too much of a failure as the city lord. He would never agree to it. Hence, there would not be anyone disrupting the progress of setting up the new hot pot restaurant anymore.
“They won’t be here again. Let’s go in and take a look.” Mag opened the door and walked in first.
The rest followed him in.
The hot pot restaurant was lavishly renovated with gold and red as the main color scheme. The tables and chairs, which were all the color of wine, were arranged neatly. Just the hall on the first floor alone had more than 100 tables. The scale of this place was more than twice that of Mamy Restaurant.
“This restaurant is huge. I suppose it can hold up to 1,000 people dining in, right?” Yabemiya exclaimed.
“There are even private rooms on the second floor. The kitchen is also on the second floor.” Rena walked inwards with a smile. “Let me show you around.”

“That’s it? How boring...” Irina, who was standing on a roof nearby, shook her head. She glanced at the horse-drawn carriage in the distance, and her lips curled up in a crafty smile. “Since you’re so greedy to want everything, I’ll peel off a layer of your skin...”
