As it turns out, Ace's actions are correct, as one of the restaurant's chefs sneaks through the back door and comes to Vicky's house to report the chaos.

Soon after, the head of the Vicky family, Leon's father, went to his tavern with a large group of people.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man of the same size walked in. He smiled and walked up to the guard and said, "Sir, what's wrong with our cook?" Do you want to catch him? ”

The chief of guard said, "That's right, Mr. Parker-Vic. I'm telling you, there's just been a murder in your restaurant. We suspect that there is something wrong with the food in your restaurant, and we are going to take him back for interrogation! ”

Parker laughs and says, "Is there a problem with the food here?" Then you must make it clear today. Since last week, the supplier of food raw materials in our restaurant has changed. Now the food raw materials for our restaurant are purchased from natural slaughterhouses outside the city. I think you've heard the name of the natural slaughterhouse, right? ”

A flash of surprise flashed in the guard's eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect such a thing to involve a natural slaughterhouse.

The natural slaughterhouse was owned by the Reiter family, one of the ten nobles of the Imperial City. The slaughterhouse of the Leiter family and the old man of the Leitt family are both marquis and have an extraordinary status. Even at the banquets held in the imperial capital, the elders of the Rett family could occupy a place.

If this incident offends Reiter, a person of great rank and strength, it will be very bad. But if I can't do this today, how can I explain it to my superiors?

Seeing that the guards were obviously weighing the pros and cons, Parker Vicky smiled and continued, "Otherwise, I will send someone to ask the person in charge of the Reitt family to come over and explain to you in person?" ”

Hearing this, the guard's face suddenly changed, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, no, Mr. Parker, I think you misunderstood, we didn't mean to. Today's matter may be a misunderstanding, let's go now. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to leave together, and did not forget to drag the poor unjust ghost away before leaving. The deceased apparently received the index beforehand. If Parker Vicky had noticed the clue and left the body here, then there would have been no good ending then.

Seeing more than a dozen guards lined up, Parker-Vic's smile quickly faded. He frowned, as if worried.

Later, Leon said to the diners who did not leave the restaurant in time: "Today's incident is a misunderstanding, I hope you can forgive me." To apologize, all the money you guys spent at the store today is free! ”

The guests had dispersed, and the tavern was in shambles. Today, I really say sorry to the people who dine here.

When Leon saw that his father had finally come, he cried and said, "Father, you have finally come." If you don't come back, our restaurant will be finished! ”

Parker looked at his youngest son. After comforting him, he turned his gaze to Ace.

"I heard the chef who reported to me say that you have been delaying me for a long time. Thank you so much. Parker's face showed another sincere smile.

Ace smiled and replied, "Master Parker is too polite, but I don't know what's going on here?" The guards were apparently very well prepared. ”

Parker smiled wryly, "You're so smart, you can't help it." Recently, a nobleman in the Imperial City wanted to annex my estate. This is not the first time this has happened. ”

Speaking of this, Parker couldn't help but sigh, and then said to his son, "Leon, you haven't introduced me to these two friends of yours." ”

Leon immediately smiled and said, "This is Monchi D. Ace, the apprentice of the master smith Ari Stark; This is Arak Lovesky, a fire magician, an extremely powerful alchemist. ”

A bright light flashed clearly through Parker's eyes.

Ari Stark? That's really a big shot in the imperial capital. A lot of aristocrats and celebrities want to befriend him, but Stark's temper is really weird. In their opinion, this is definitely a powder keg, so after many nobles were blown apart by him, few dared to visit Stark.

He was glad that his son was able to meet Stark's apprentice! Being able to make friends with a blacksmith will naturally have many benefits in the future.

As for the other child, he turned out to be an alchemist, which is really great.

Parker was naturally happy to see his son meet such two amazing friends.

Ace was still thinking about the murder just now. It has to be said that he unknowingly regarded Leon and Arak as good brothers. Therefore, when his brother's family suffered a disaster, Ace was also very anxious.

"Master Parker, do you know who is trying to frame you?" Ace asked.

Parker said, "You're welcome. If you don't mind, you can call me uncle. As for the nobleman who wanted to frame us, I probably knew in my heart that it was Sri Lanka-Knorr. ”

It turned out that this Sri Lanka-Knoll was a viscount. He had good contacts in the imperial capital and maintained good relations with several marquises.

However, in recent years, the Vichy family's industry has become bigger and bigger, more and more influential, and naturally more and more funds, which makes Sri Lanka-Knoll very jealous.

Sri Lanka-Knoll met Parker at the beginning and said he wanted to negotiate business with him. When Peter heard that there was business to be done, as a merchant, he naturally went with joy.

But no one expected that Sri Lanka did not really want to do business with the Vivich family, but wanted to buy some of their properties and own them at a low price.

Hearing this, Parker naturally rejected the acquisition plan. How can a businessman do business at a loss? His own industry brings him great wealth every day, and the long-term benefits in the future will naturally be even more immeasurable. Parker is not a fool. How could he agree to such a request.

However, the other party was a noble viscount after all, and Parker couldn't refuse, so Parker made an excuse at that time, saying that there was still a batch of goods that he needed to see, so he left the viscount's residence.

Later, Sri Lanka-Knoll sent people to invite Parker to the reception several times, but Parker made excuses to refuse. In this way, Sri Lanka naturally got angry, and then he began to trouble the Vicky family one by one.

Listening to Parker's description, Ace couldn't help but frown. These greedy aristocrats are really selfish and arrogant, and even want to forcibly occupy other people's hard-won properties.

Ace pondered for a moment and said, "Can Uncle Parker get evidence that the other party framed you?" ”

Parker shook his head helplessly. "I'm afraid it's going to be hard."

After thinking for a while, Ace said, "I have a way!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon and Arak couldn't help but look at Ace together.
