Chapter 23 - New Partner

"And how are we going to make more money out of it? Let's play again?" Shen Ruo asked after counting all the money, the total was ninety bronze coins.

After listening to Shen Ruo, Shen Hua looked at Min Ji, "Your family has a casino here, doesn't it?"

"Yes, it's one of the top three. Why?" Min Ji did not understand what Shen Hua wanted with his family's casino.

"Because I want a partnership with him." Shen Hua got up and went into the kitchen with Shen Ruo and Min Ji.

"Boy get two of each product and the tools I used to teach you today." When Shen Hua arrived in the kitchen, he went to a boy who works as an assistant.

"Yes, boss." The boy started packing everything Shen Hua asked.

"Brother, who is he?" Shen Ruo asked Shen Hua.

"His name is Su Nan, he's fifteen, he's an assistant here, and he has a talent in the kitchen so I taught him a few things." Shen Hua turned to Shen Ruo and Min Ji.

"And what you taught him? Can help make a deal?" Min Ji was the one who asked, he was extremely curious about what Shen Hua was planning.

"I taught him how to make drinks." When Shen Hua spoke Su Nan returned with everything Shen Hua request, "Ready boss."

"Let's go." Shen Hua took things from Su Nan's hand and handed it to Shen Ruo.

"Why that?" Shen Ruo asked, the bags were heavy for him to carry alone.

"Training." Shen Hua only said this, before leading everyone out of the restaurant, "Min Ji, guide us."

Min Ji led the three of them to the casino, then led them to his brother's office. "Big brother, my friends wanted to talk to you so I brought them here."

Min Su was sitting at his desk when his brother came in, 'Friends? Did this delinquent make friends? 'When he looked at the door he saw three boys coming in, two he recognized as the ones who came before, the last one he didn't know but by the way he behaved realized he was a servant of the other two so decided to ignore him.

"So what do you want with me." Min Su got up and went to the sofa opposite where Shen Hua and the others sat.

"My name is Shen Hua, I want to partner with your casino. I have a restaurant that sells sweets, I want you to start selling them here." Shen Hua got straight to the point, which surprised Min Su.

"I liked you, it's rare to see someone so direct so I'll give back, you brought samples, let me try them." Su Nan began to prepare all foods for Min Su to taste.

"I saw you playing, you are very good." While Su Nan was preparing the candys for Min Su he started talking to Shen Hua.

"You told me you liked me because I'm direct, so I hope you'll get back to me." Shen Hua wanted to take any doubts from Min Su about him.

"Okay, I want to know your relationship with the Shen family, if it's good we won't have any collaboration." Min Su decided to be frank, 'By the way this boy behaves this will be the best way to deal with him.'

"Big brother -", Min Ji was going to speak for Shen Hua, but Shen Hua raised his hand to stop him, "Thank you, but your brother is right to distrust, don't worry." Seeing Shen Hua calm Min Ji stayed quiet.

'He shut my brother up, amazing.' Min Su was very surprised, Min Ji it's a big troubled, the Min family didn't send him to the gym for that reason. In the whole family only his father could control him.

"My father is Shen Wei I should be the eldest son of the Shen family, but my affinity is bad, so he isolated me in a corner of the property and told everyone that I was dead. My mother died shortly after my birth. and my stepmother treats me like trash, my brothers like to beat me up for fun. You asked me the relationship I have with the Shen family, it's just plain hate." Shen Hua spoke it directly without hiding anything, surprising Min Su.

"Do you have any proof? I believe Shen Wei is capable of doing something like that, I don't think you lying about your story, I want proof of his hatred for the Shen family." Min Su wanted to destroy the whole Shen family, 'If he really hates them, he can help me.'

"Before, you will tell me, why you want to destroy the Shen family." Shen Hua looked into Min Ji's eyes. all. 'The only reason to ask this question is if you're looking for an ally, now I have to find out if you has the motivation to do everything the necessary.'

Min Su got up and went to the window, "The princess, that's my reason." Shen Hua didn't expect this, 'So it's love, maybe it's the throne, either one is a good motivator.'

Leaning back in his chair, Shen Hua waved for Su Nan to leave, when he closed the door, "Do you know about the Shen family shop robbery?"

"Of course, the whole city knows, it was a big robbery and so far nobody found out who went. Why?" Min Su spoke turning to look at Shen Hua.

Shen Hua raised his hand and several pieces of armor and weapons appeared on the floor. "Because I stole it." Min Ji and Min Su were surprised by the statement at Shen Hua. "Is that proof enough for you?"

Putting a calm expression, Min Su sat down again, "What are you planning?"

After collecting everything Shen Hua looked at him, "I'm planning to bankrupt them, then destroy what's left. And you'll help me with that?"

"And what do you want me to do?" Min Su was convinced after seeing the stolen items, 'If he helps me marry her, I don't mind collaborating with him.'

"You'll help me make money, first sell my candys and do everything to make it popular with the nobles. The boy out there, you'll put him in to make drinks for the nobles attending here, and say that he is an employee of my restaurant. You will also spy on the Shen family business, and if finds any big business he will inform me." With all that said Shen Hua got up and went with Shen Ruo to the door, "Don't forget that favor, when you become king, I will charge you."

Shen Hua left with Shen Ruo and informed Su Nan that he would be working at the casino from the next day. Then Shen Hua and Shen Ruo went to the restaurant to report on their partnership with the casino, and go home after.

In the room Min Ji and Min Su were alone, Min Su grabbed one of the sweets to eat it, then looked at his brother, "What do you think of him?"

"Doesn't seem like the kind of person who cheats, we can trust him." Min Ji answered while getting a candy to eat too.

"Right, and how did you become his friend?" Min Su asked as he grabbed another candy.

Min Ji and Min Su chatted about Shen Hua while eating sweets all night.
