"Master, will this offend anyone?" Kruen said weakly.
Du Dian said indifferently: "If you offend, you will offend, just do it."
"Okay." Kruen was a little ashamed, he didn't expect Du Dian to be so obsessed with food, "Then I'll let Master Kaqi buy it now?"
"Let Noyce follow along." Du Dian said: "Tell him, let the other party make an offer first, and if he insists on not selling, he will grab it by force. I want to see if he has the courage not to sell."
"Okay, okay."
Kruen came to the hall and passed Du Dian's words to Kaqi and Noyce who was on duty. The two looked at each other, and Kaqi couldn't help saying: "He really said, grab it if you don't sell it?"
"Hmm." Kruen was extremely determined.
Kaqi froze for a moment, then grinned slightly, "I didn't expect him to be a foodie, okay, I promise to bring him back." He patted Noyce on the shoulder and beckoned him to lead the horse. Soon, the two rode out Castle, go to Brandon family territory.

…
"Lin'er, is the hall ready?" Cage walked down the stairs, looked at the busy attendants in the resplendent hall, and asked a tall girl next to him who was talking to his maid.
The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a graceful figure, and a luxurious pale gold dress dotted with countless crystal lights, which was extremely gorgeous and eye-catching. It was easy to know that this expensive evening dress must have been made by a master tailor.
"Father, it's almost ready, just wait for the guests to come." Hearing what her father said, Linna walked over in small steps with a smile on her face.
Cage laughed and said: "Your Uncle William is coming today. I heard that his son is now a second-level light knight in the temple, and he also likes Mr. Haiming's music. He likes the same as you. Wait for the banquet Come on, you guys need to talk more."
Lin Na blushed when she heard the words, and said, "Father, what are you talking about? Today's banquet is obviously for you and Uncle William. Congratulations on his promotion. Why did it fall on me?"
"Silly boy." Cage laughed.
At this time, a middle-aged butler in a black tuxedo came quietly from the crowd, bent down and bowed his head and said, "Master, there are two people outside who want to see you. They claim to be Master Du Dian's attendants."
"Master Du Dian?" Cage was taken aback.
The eyes of Linna next to her were radiant in vain, she looked at the butler in surprise, and said, "Is that the genius Master Du Di'an?"
The butler said respectfully, "Yes, Miss."
"It's really him?" Lena was a little excited, grabbed Cage's hand and said, "Father, did you inform him? He also came to congratulate Uncle William?"
Cage was wondering, when he heard her words, his heart moved, and he said to the housekeeper, "Let them in."
"Yes, sir." The butler turned and left.
Lin Na looked at the back of the butler leaving, eyes full of excitement, and said: "Father, my birthday will be in a few days, can you invite that Master Du to come to my birthday party? If he can show up , my friends must be envious of me, I heard that Master Du is not only superb in magic, but also a golden knight, handsome and unrestrained, and he can also compose poems, so perfect!"
Cage was a little helpless, and said: "Don't think too much, we Brandon family can't climb up to a person like him."
Hearing her father pouring cold water on her, Lina pouted slightly, and said, "Where are you thinking? I didn't say I wanted to find him. I'm his admirer. I just want to see him in person."
Cage shook his head helplessly and said no more. At this time, the butler returned from the outside, followed by two tall and burly figures, one with blond hair and the other with a burly figure. Judging from his clothes, he was indeed dressed as a servant. He glanced at them and noticed that the two did not mention any gifts. move.
"I met Mr. Brandon Cage." Kaqi came to Cage and said politely.
Cage smiled slightly, "You two are welcome, please sit down."
"No need." Kaqi looked around, saw that no one was paying attention here, and whispered: "Patriarch Cage, our young master asked us to visit you and ask you for something along the way."
"Ask for something?" Cage was slightly startled, and calmly said, "What?"
"Toothed crab." Kaqi said calmly: "Our young master recently liked some delicacies. We searched all the places and heard that the last toothed crab in the market today was bought by your servant, so I would like to discuss it with you. Yes, Patriarch Cage, please rest assured, we will pay three times the price to buy it, and we hope you can fulfill it."
Cage and his daughter Lina looked at each other in blank dismay, never expecting that the other party just came to beg for the ingredients.
"It turns out that he likes to eat toothed crabs..." Lin Na secretly remembered this, feeling a little happy in her heart.
Cage frowned slightly, and remained silent. Now that the situation outside is constantly turbulent, he knows that this talented young master is the main force to defeat the Mellon Consortium. When every behemoth falls, the dust and mist raised It can cover the eyes of many people, but the Brandon family is powerful and knows how the pattern of the business district will change next.
"Patriarch?" Seeing that he was silent, Kaqi asked for instructions again.
Cage glanced at him, hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Master Du that this thing is for our banquet tonight, so I can't resell it. If Master Du likes it, wait for me to find it in a few days. I will send it to my door."
Kaqi raised his eyebrows and said: "Patriarch, you are too stingy. We are just asking for ingredients, and the price is three times. Could it be that my young master's face is so worthless? Or, you don't give face?"
Linna next to her didn't expect her father to refuse, so she took his arm and said, "Dad, just give it to them, we can use something else instead."
"No." Cage said with a firm attitude, "This is the rule of our family, and the menu has already been posted, how can we modify it at will?"
Kaqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Really, can the patriarch let us take a look at the toothed crab? This request is not too much, right?"
Hearing this, Cage's expression softened slightly, and he said, "It's not a problem, I'll take the two of you to see it myself." Then he turned around and led the way.
Kaqi gave Noyce a wink, and Noyce understood, and said, "I'll wait for you here."
Kaqi nodded, followed alone, and came to the kitchen behind.
Cage ordered the chef to bring out the tooth crab.
Kaqi saw that it was a black crab with a big head. The difference from ordinary crabs was that it had sharp teeth in its mouth, and it was designed to eat underwater fish, even big ones. The cost of crabs is extremely expensive, and it is prone to accidents during salvage, so the number is scarce. Only a few people in the wall class are willing to raise them. Most tooth crabs are wild in radiation areas or some desolate lakes.
"It's cute." Kaqi reached out and touched it.
Cage raised his eyebrows, feeling that the servant's behavior was a bit frivolous.
At this moment, Kaqi quickly grabbed it with his arms in vain, snatched the box containing the toothed crab, easily knocked away the two chefs next to him, turned around and ran away, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Cage froze.
All this was as fast as lightning and extremely abrupt, which made him unable to react for a long time. After Kaqi ran a certain distance, he came back to his senses. He couldn't help being startled and angry, and shouted: "Come on, catch me!"
The surrounding attendants immediately chased after him.
Kaqi was extremely fast, jumping over the wall directly from the outside of the manor.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind and quickly chased after him.
Kaqi glanced back, laughed and said, "I'll give it to you if I can catch up." As he spoke, he quickly darted into the street outside, his figure fast.
The figure behind was chasing at full speed, the speed was comparable to that of Kaqi, and when he chased to the busy street, he still couldn't catch up, so he had to stop, stop for a while, then turned and returned to the castle, in case it was a way of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.
That night, sensational news came from the Brandon family. Some people robbed the ingredients for the banquet. The person who came claimed to be Du Dian's attendant.
Under the cover of night, the news spread everywhere like a spider's thread in the intricate intelligence network.
