Metz nodded in satisfaction and leaned her head against the man's chest. "If she appears next time, I hope she can disappear from this world forever."
"But we have to consider the reputation of the Alkmarr family." Donning found a good reason to make the other party give up some actions that threatened the life of that stubborn girl.
After pacifying Metz, Donning had to return to the apartment quickly. He still had some very important things to do regarding the tea business.
Inside the apartment, Verona had regained his energy. He was completely cut off from alcohol and was eagerly waiting for this young man to give him advice. "Mr. Donning, as you said, I have abandoned alcohol anesthesia."
Donning looked at Verona who was wearing a well - fitting suit and had trimmed his beard, stroking his chin. "Listen, you have to go to the port of Gold Coast. Your brother is there. Do as I say."
After hearing Donning's suggestion, Verona's face turned pale and his lips trembled. "Impossible... That will attract the attention of the police station. They will investigate us. Then I will have to go to jail."
"Well, if you don't accept my suggestion, then I can't help you. Sorry. You can still be with your alcohol and continue to degenerate." Donning, facing Verona who was full of fear, expressed his helplessness.
He got up and took a bath towel and walked towards the bathroom. "When I come out of the bathroom, I hope to hear your decision. I don't have time to waste on a cowardly person."
Verona imagined the tea business, something he had always dreamed of getting. Finally, he clenched his fist and raised his head with firm eyes. "Okay, I will do as you say. Are you sure there will be no problem with this?"
"I swear there will be absolutely no problem." Donning, standing in the bathroom, turned back and showed a confident smile. "This matter is a conspiracy between you and me. I won't joke about my future. Think about it. I am the person in charge of the Alkmarr family's spice business and about to marry the most beautiful woman in the Alkmarr family. Compared to you, I will lose more if I fail."
Regarding this matter, Donning had many flawless plans. But thinking that this was part of the game and Alkmarr had arranged for this young man to appear, then even if this matter attracted the attention of the police station, Alkmarr would send someone to solve it. So he decided to use a simple method to complete the game. There was no need to spend energy on such things.
At the port of Gold Coast, Sarah had become an example for everyone. Many young people were talking about Sarah. From a foreman, he had suddenly become a big businessman in charge of the spice business in Brot City. They hoped that one day they could be like Sarah and be blessed by God.
Sarah's reputation exceeded that of anyone on the port. The new labor union had been established with Sarah's help. The lives of the laborers had been greatly improved. So those laborers were even willing to work for Sarah for free. However, Sarah paid them according to the latest wage standards.
And other merchants, such as those in the tea and silk business, all needed to find laborers through the new labor union to carry their goods.
As the person in charge of the new labor union, Sarah naturally also needed to deal with other merchants. His honesty and kindness had also conquered other merchants.
"Thank you, dear Mr. Sarah." The merchant who had just solved the problem of laborers expressed his gratitude to Sarah and took out some gold Caesars and handed them over. "I hope you can accept these rewards."
Sarah originally wanted to refuse, but he thought of those laborers. He could distribute this money to those laborers in the name of rewards. So he accepted it.
Usually, the affairs of the labor union were handled by his subordinates. Because he was in charge of the spice business and couldn't stay here for a long time. Coincidentally, today he needed to receive a new batch of spices and came here specially. Many people advised him not to be so tired, but the honest and diligent young man still decided to come in person. What he had just done was just incidental.
He gave the gold Caesars to the person in charge of the new labor union as usual. "Distribute this money to those laborers who just worked. Make sure it reaches everyone's hands."
It was already late at night. Just when he was about to finish all the things and rush back to Brot City, someone found him. Wearing a clean suit and a top hat. "Hello, Mr. Sarah. I am Verona. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Sarah looked at the person who came. He should be a merchant. He stretched out his left hand. "Mr. Verona, what can I do for you?"
Verona took back his outstretched right hand and used his left hand to shake hands instead, looking a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, I have to introduce myself. Balotelli is my elder brother. He is a tea merchant. I am here to find him. But I am not familiar with the port of Gold Coast. I heard that you are the warmest person on the port. Can you take me there?"
Sarah had to attend a dinner party in Brot tomorrow morning. It was the first time that Mr. Barak's daughter met him. He had to pay more attention. He was looking forward to making a good impression on Hannah. Under Mr. Barak's guidance, he had secretly looked at that girl. Mr. Barak also told him about Hannah's past experience. But he didn't mind. He liked that girl. A one - armed man couldn't ask for more.
But his kindness and enthusiasm made him unable to refuse the request of the man in front of him. Sarah couldn't be indifferent when looking at Verona's helpless eyes.
"It's just a simple direction. It won't take too much time." He comforted himself. Sarah decided to take this gentleman there in person. "Okay, sir. Please follow me. I will take you there."
Along the way, the two chatted. The huge port of Gold Coast was some distance from the warehouse. Among countless warehouses, there were some temporary offices where merchants handled some business affairs.
Half an hour later, they arrived in front of a simple warehouse. There was a light on inside the warehouse. Sarah pointed at the door. "Sir, this is Mr. Balotelli's temporary office. I think the light is on. He should be inside. You can go in."
Verona stopped Sarah who wanted to leave. "Mr. Sarah, I'm sorry that I concealed some things. I have some small conflicts with my elder brother. He doesn't want to see me very much. I hope you can be a mediator. Please."
Sarah couldn't refuse this kind of request. It wouldn't take much time either. He stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside the room.
Could there be no one in the room? Sarah knocked a few more times, but there was still no movement. He had to leave. There wasn't enough time. He had to rush back to Brot as soon as possible.
"Mr. Verona, I have very important things and must leave. I think your elder brother should be out. He will be back soon." Sarah patted Verona on the shoulder.
Verona couldn't let Sarah leave. He was a bit nervous. "My... elder brother is a bit sick. Just to be on the safe side, we should go in and have a look."
Sarah had seen Verona's elder brother half a day ago. He helped him find his new labor union to carry tea. At that time, Verona's elder brother was very healthy and didn't look sick.
"Please, I'm very worried about him." Verona made a request.
Sarah's heart softened. Now that Verona was present, no one would suspect that he was going to steal something. He walked to the door and skillfully used the theft skills he had when he was a thief to open the door.
When the door opened, Sarah was stunned. There was a person lying on the table inside the room. The ground was already stained red with blood, and a lot of blood was flowing down along the table legs.
Something had happened. Sarah reacted. He looked back at Verona. Verona already knew everything here because he had done all this. After coming to the port, he found his elder brother and poisoned the tea. But he needed a companion to prove that he wasn't the murderer and had an alibi. Otherwise, as the beneficiary of his elder brother's death, those people from the police station would suspect him. This was the method that Donning had taught him. A young man with a great reputation on the Gold Coast testified for him. This would be the best way to clear his suspicion.
But he had to pretend to be completely unaware and looked at Sarah with some confusion. "How is it, Mr. Sarah?"
Sarah knew that there had been a murder. He was afraid that he wouldn't have a chance to leave here. It seemed that that appointment had to be canceled. He calmed down and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible. "Mr. Verona, your elder brother may have encountered misfortune."
Verona stood still. After reacting, he rushed into the room. Then there was the sound of loud crying.
A merchant was killed on the Gold Coast. Soon, it alerted the sheriff on the Gold Coast. As a place with a large population flow, the police station in Brot City specially sent several sheriffs here to prevent some disputes.
Sitting in a simple room at the port of Gold Coast and facing the interrogation of the sheriff, Verona told about his elder brother's past illness. And Sarah, as a witness, told about what had happened at that time.
Soon a sheriff entered the room. "We have checked. The deceased died of poisoning. There was poison in his teacup. This is a murder."
The interrogating sheriff became serious. "Did anyone on the port have a dispute with the deceased?"
Sarah told the sheriff that the deceased had not had any disputes with anyone on the port. But he mentioned that Verona and his elder brother had some small conflicts. "But I can testify that Mr. Verona was with me. There is absolutely no possibility that he poisoned."
Excluding revenge killing, the sheriff in charge of examining the body continued to describe the examination situation. "The deceased's office has no signs of being ransacked. It can't be for money."
So what was the reason for someone to poison? The case was at a stalemate. After Verona and Sarah came out of the temporary interrogation room, it was already dawn.
"Mr. Verona, please accept my condolences. The sheriffs will find the murderer." Sarah comforted Verona. He had to rush back to Brot City as soon as possible. That was also what happened tonight. Today's appointment would be missed. He had to explain all this to Mr. Barak and Miss Hannah.
After Sarah left, Verona showed a proud smile on his face. He also had to rush back to Brot City as soon as possible to take over the business left by his elder brother after his death.
Vont sat in the office waiting for the upcoming storm. The church in Varna City would not hesitate to remove Alto, the cardinal of Brot City. And Alkmarr, who used supernatural power to interfere in judicial fairness, would suffer the greatest punishment. His duke title would be deprived. Alkmarr, who was only a merchant, was too easy to deal with.
But soon someone knocked on his door. Luke told Vont about what had happened at the port of Gold Coast. His expression was solemn. "The person in charge of the Alkmarr family's tea business was poisoned to death. Those fools from the police station alone won't achieve any results. So you have to go there in person."
Vont thought of a person in his mind. But he had to go there and put on an act. He agreed to Luke without hesitation and left the office.
Someone was very successful in seizing Alkmarr's business. He had to pay a visit to his ally and celebrate his ally's victory.
