(Foreword)

Grango contains trace amounts of toxins, which have a certain analgesic effect and can be used to resist the magical impulses in the body of a black magician.

Dark Moon is the bloodline of dark magic, and during the awakening process, Ivan's body will inevitably feel sore and painful.

Such aches and pains can be cured by Grango's toxins - as long as the dosage is just right.

So Ivan would take a little Gran juice when his magic power was surging.

People who are allergic to Granny Smith will fall into a coma if they consume even a small amount of Granny Smith juice.

The lord, who was allergic to Granger, hardly touched it.

"Little did they know that it was Gran Juice that could remove the sleight of hand in the contract!"

(Story continues)

The lord hit the duke so hard that if there hadn't been a table nearby, the duke would have probably fallen to the ground.

"Alex, what are you doing?!" The Duke covered his face, which was red from being hit by the Lord, and his deep blue eyes were full of shock.

"I don't believe you!" the Lord pointed at the Duke and cursed.

"You're still asking me what's wrong? It's fine if you cheated them, but you're also trying to steal my wealth. That's really shameless!"

The retainers standing by were all stunned:

"No, what is going on?"

The lord looked at the bewildered look on the retainer's face and shook his head helplessly:

"It's not the account book that's forged, it's the contract!"

"I won't say any more. Whoever brought the contract, bring it here!"

As the retainers looked at each other, Retainer No. 1, who had said he wanted to resign at the beginning, quickly took out the contract he had brought from his briefcase:

"Here you go..."

The lord took the contract, spread it on the table, and then felt in his pocket...

Take out a Granola?!

Everyone present was stunned, but the lord continued with his strange behavior.

Everyone watched as the lord squeezed the juice out of the Grango and then rubbed the juice on the sentence "profit sharing".

After the red juice of Grango soaked the contract, the lord placed it on the candlelight beside and slowly dried it.

When the color of Gran Juice disappeared, the retainers were surprised - the Duke alone took away 86% of all the profits!

"Look carefully for yourself!"

The lord pointed at the words and gestured to the duke standing across the table, "I don't need to press my head against yours to question you, do I, Atole?"

Atole stood there, staring at the word "86%" on the restored contract.

Everyone present knew how greedy the Duke was!

A retainer asked:

"But the Duke just showed us the account book, and every entry in the account book is reasonable—"

The lord glanced at the account book on the table, then looked at Charlie who was trembling beside him.

He quickly understood: "Whose account book is on the bookshelf? If you use your brain to think about it, you will know that the account book is fake!"

"so..."

The lord suddenly reached out and grabbed the Duke's desk with his backhand.

Click!

Ignoring the Duke's obstruction, the Lord took out the real account book.

Snapped!

The lord suddenly spread out the account book, pointed at the number with countless zeros on it, and tried his best not to scream out.

"This is the real account book. Please take a look at it now."

The retainers' faces darkened as soon as they took a look at the astronomical figures in the account book.

The lord stared at the duke and shouted at him:

“Atholl!

"It's fine that you deceived the people working under Haines, but now you're even going to swallow up my wealth. Do you really think I'm just a decoration?"

The Duke panicked when he saw that the truth had been revealed:

“This, that…”

"And you!" The Lord stared at Charlie with his venomous green eyes.

"You have only been working at Haines for a year, and you have already climbed to the position of secretary, which is a position that ordinary retainers need to work for ten years to reach. If you had not given Atole any benefits, you would never have been promoted so quickly...

"You were the one who gave Atole this bad idea, weren't you? Tell me!"

The Lord questioned Charlie loudly.

“Ahh…I…”

Charlie fell to the ground with a thump.

"I admit that I did all of this. I did take the share of the profits in the contract, but this is not my family's fault! Please don't punish my family!"

The retainers were talking about it. They had never expected that Charles would be respected in this way.

The retainers all lamented that "human hearts are treacherous."

One of the retainers asked:

"So, how are you going to compensate us for our losses?"

The Lord realized that this was a good way to suppress the Duke, and he smiled slightly with his hands covering his mouth.

"Although I can't get the position of Duke yet, I can take this industry into my own hands, right?"

"The Duke made a mistake, and so did I! Everyone, listen to me first," the Lord pointed at the Duke, whose face was pale with fear, and said his solution.

"According to the laws of the empire, the Duke would not be substantially punished.

"I assure you that Haines will compensate you for the embezzled money according to the forged contract, and give you some compensation for your losses. Is that okay?"

"and,"

The lord had a strange smile on his face.

"In view of the excessive amount of property that Atole Haines has embezzled, I hereby propose that—"

"I, Alex Haynes, shall be the manager of the chewing gum industry."

The Duke's eyes widened and he quickly objected: "No, Alex, you are really good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes..."

But everyone stared at the Duke with cold eyes, and the Duke was too embarrassed to get angry.

The lord felt that the distrust of his retainers was a sharp sword stabbing the duke.

He sighed helplessly:

"I can't help it, brother. You brought this upon yourself."

The Lord turned slightly and pointed to the unhappy expressions on people's faces:

"You can see from these people's faces that they no longer have trust in your management. If Haynes doesn't take some measures, these talents will leave and he won't make so much money.

Alex almost said this: "I think highly of you for not using this trick to take away the Duke's position!"

All he could say was:

"And now, apart from you, I am the only one who can take over all this - I didn't say that you are the one causing me trouble, it's all settled!"

The Lord's green eyes were full of pride:

"Hehe, I didn't expect Atole to make such a stupid mistake. Such a large industry was easily transferred to my name. It's so refreshing!"

All the retainers nodded in agreement with the Lord's suggestion:

"Yes, the Duke already controls enough things. What's wrong with giving some to the Lord?"

People even said:

"It doesn't matter who is the manager of the industry, but it can't be Atole anymore...

Otherwise, if Atolle embezzles some of our wealth someday, we will suffer a huge loss."

The Duke clenched his right fist. The current situation was not optimistic for him:

The lord took the property into his own hands easily with just a few words...

"So will he give up my title with just a few words one day?!"
