Original God, starting from the sister against the brother

The second is the emotional investment in Linny, the little fox.

The elder sister probably hasn't thought of training Linnie as her successor yet, but Chao Ke, who is familiar with the plot, knows it.

Linny will become the well-deserved "crown prince" of the Hearth House, a kingdom made up of children, in the future.

In other words, the next "king".

Objectively speaking, Linni is a qualified heir.

Both in terms of strength and character, he is the best among his peers.

More importantly, Linnie's personality and behavior are very much in line with his sister's feelings.

After this, Linney really regarded Hearth House as a real "home".

However, there are still some differences between Lini and Arlecino.

If Arlecino is the "king" of the children, then Linny is more like the "parent" of the children.

Compared to Arlecchino, Lini attaches more importance to feelings and is not calm and decisive enough.

Chao Ke couldn't judge whether this mentality was good or bad. Chao Ke just knew that investing in the feelings of such people was a good deal.

This time, Chao Ke personally rescued Lin Ni's mentor and gave Lin Ni the opportunity to find the real murderer for his mentor.

Although Lin Ni didn't say it, he must be grateful for Chao Ke's kindness in his heart.

After that, whether it is to integrate into the Buffati Mansion faster or to let yourself stroke Linnet with peace of mind, it is excellent.

Leaving Linny and Linnet here to continue the investigation, Chao Ke returned to Mojie Station first and took the Navia Line back home.

Get off at Fontaine Station and stroll leisurely along the Vasari Corridor.

It was almost evening now, and Chao Ke, who had not had lunch yet, felt a little hungry.

However, Chao Ke did not go to his own restaurant or the cafeteria of the mansion. It was a rare opportunity for him to go out for a walk, so he might as well taste the cooking skills of his colleagues at Fontaine.

But unfortunately, I walked past several restaurants but couldn't get a bite to eat.

It wasn't that the restaurant staff deliberately made things difficult for Chao Ke, it was just that Chao Ke arrived at an inconvenient time.

The lunch meal is over, and the chefs in the restaurant are either resting or preparing for the dinner.

After all, not many people choose to eat out in the afternoon.

Chao Ke walked helplessly on the street. The only places that provided food and beverage at this time were probably snack stalls and coffee shops.

Forget it, let’s go back to the mansion’s cafeteria to eat, and I can also go visit my sister on the way.

Just like that, Chao Ke walked towards the mansion.

The business of [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] is quite good. Even during non-meal times, the line of customers still stretches out the door.

However, a shop on the other side of the mansion caught Chao Ke's attention.

Several pedestrians first went to this store to buy a newspaper before queuing up at the Jiaziwei Restaurant to consume.

Chao Ke stroked his chin and recalled.

"Isn't that store Louis's snack bar? Why is it selling newspapers?"

“I hope it won’t be shut down by [Jia Ziwei Restaurant].”

With that idea in mind, he walked towards Ke to check.

The owner of the store has not changed. He is still Louis who sells fish and chips. He has also retained the fryer and the incubator. It seems that he has not given up the catering industry.

At this time, Louis was catching fish with his head down. When he saw someone coming, he said nonchalantly.

"A newspaper costs 1000 Mora. Buy five newspapers and get two bottles of Maida for free. Buy ten newspapers and get a plate of delicious fish and chips. Buy fifteen newspapers and get a can of jelly beans for free."

"Of course, you can also buy it separately. My fish and chips are also excellent."

"Oh? What kind of newspaper are you selling? It's so expensive! Even the Steambird is only a few hundred molas."

Chao Ke asked curiously and took out a newspaper to read it.

Newspaper headline: "Shock! Jiaziwei Restaurant is suspected to be an official force of Fontaine, and the Gongguan force may be suppressed!"

The column below is the period and newspaper name.

Thursday, May 10, Amazing Newspaper.

Chao Ke's mouth twitched, and he flipped through the other newspapers in Louis' store.

"Yes! This is all of them."

Chao Ke speechlessly tapped Louis' counter with his fingers, interrupting Louis who was frying fish nuggets.

"Come on, come on, stop knocking."

Louis said impatiently, but when he looked up, the person coming was Chao Ke, the owner of [Jia Ziwei Restaurant].

Louis took a few steps back guiltily, chuckled dryly, and greeted Chao Ke.

"Good... afternoon, Mr. Chao Ke, would you like... some delicious fish and chips?"

"..."

"How about...I'll give you a free meal?"

Chao Ke picked up a copy of the Surprise newspaper and said, "Mr. Louis, could you please explain why you are selling this outdated newspaper in your store?"

“Uh…Uh…”

Louis stuttered a little, organizing his words in his mind, thinking about how to answer Chao Ke's questions.

"Well, I'm selling these newspapers...I don't think it's against the laws of Fontaine, right?"

"After all, I have applied for a "Books and Newspapers Sales Permit."

Louis said as he took out a business license from under the counter and showed it to Chao Ke.

Chao Ke took it and looked at it.

There is nothing wrong with Louis's permission. The approval date is not long ago, so he probably hasn't been selling newspapers for many days.

Chao Ke couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Louis, you have indeed made sufficient preparations and even obtained a certificate."

Louis smiled guiltily.

"But the laws in Fontaine are complicated. You may not be familiar with some details of the newspaper sales law, Louis."

Louis' heart trembled, feeling something was wrong.

And Chao Ke continued to speak.

"In order to ensure a free press environment, Fontaine allows unregistered newspapers to publish newspapers, and these newspapers and approved books and periodicals can also be sold."

"only."

"The law has strict regulations on the time of sale and the price of sale."

"The sale period cannot exceed three days from the publication date, the selling price cannot exceed twice the average newspaper price, and most importantly..."

"It is strictly forbidden to reprint and sell this type of newspaper. Violators will be subject to heavy fines."

After Chao Ke finished speaking, Louis collapsed to the ground instantly as if all his energy had been drained away.

"how so..."

"Why didn't I read the law carefully..."

Chao Ke lifted Louis up and said, "Mr. Louis, please don't do this. I haven't finished what I want to say yet."

"What you just said was just your illegal sale of newspapers. Your sale of newspapers also constitutes unfair competition against my restaurant, and the evidence is conclusive."

"I think you will have to stay in Mellow Petersburg for quite some time."

At this time, Louis was frightened by Chao Ke's words and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chao Ke. I was jealous of your business, and I got angry and made a mistake."

"I am willing to compensate for all the losses in your store during this period. Please be kind and don't sue me."

A smile appeared on Chao Ke's lips.

"This compensation is not enough, Mr. Louis."

"Mr. Louis, you don't want to be imprisoned in Mero Petersburg, do you?"

Louis stepped back in horror.

"You, you, what do you want?"

Chao Ke: I want...
