My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 715

Chapter 715 Right after Alden and George left, Elder Maurice gulped down the whole plate of kidneys. He licked the blood stains off his lips and said with satisfaction, "I suppose the kidneys came from a four- or five-year-old child. They're tasty."

As the saying went, you were what you ate. Hence, Elder Maurice believed his kidneys would become stronger if he

consumed the kidneys of virgin boys.

The man behind the mask had turned icy cold. He tapped his fingers on the table and bluntly said, "Mr. Maurice, did you come here just for the dish?"

Elder Maurice wiped the corners of his lips with a piece of tissue paper. He then raised his chin and said, "I came to discuss the Black Party's future operations with you."

He took out a stack of documents. "I have no objections to you closing these industries. But what about these ones? The casino is one of them. We've never committed any murders, or arson, or dealt with any heavy weapons over there. Casinos are a legal business in many countries. Why do you have to close them?"

Terry nonchalantly answered, "In other countries, they have an established legal system to support their gambling business. We, on the other hand, don't have

any suitable legal system to support the business in this country. As a result, the business breeds crimes. Although the casino looked no different from the casinos in other countries on the surface, truth is, it provided opportunities for many unscrupulous activities. It can easily expand to other kinds of profiteering from gambling" The Grand Elder lost his patience and interrupted Terry." But are you aware of the severe damage that you'll cause to the local economy by closing so many industries? The money in our treasury has been reduced by half this month. If things continue like this, we won't even be able to support our military..." "I've obtained the town's reconstruction project," Terry said. "The project will provide Hestia with new opportunities and development. You don't have to worry too much about the economy's growth."

Elder Maurice almost puked at his indifferent response. He had been in business in the area for forty or fifty years. He had established his own network of power long ago. After Auguste's death, his area of power was affected. Fortunately, he was aware of his situation, and he humbly accepted reality, which saved his remaining family business.

Little did he know that not long after, he would face an Astroysian-Terry-who intended to reform Hestia. Most of Elder Maurice's industries were illegal and

considered profiteering. Once the reformation took place, he would lose his source of income. It would be a fatal blow to him and his family. Luckily, Elder Maurice controlled the economic lifeline of the military in the area, so he did not have to submit to Terry for the time being. Elder Maurice snorted. "We'll only be able to generate profits from the reconstruction project after a year. I wonder how you plan to appease the military this year!" He swung his hands and left. When he arrived at the entrance, Isabelle approached him. "Father, how are things going? Have you talked to him?>>

Elder Maurice frowned. "About?"

"Didn't I ask you to talk to him about our marriage contract?" Isabelle stomped on her foot. "Everyone's aware that you intend to marry me to him. But he refuses to accept me as his fiancee. It's so humiliating for me!"

"Belle, I'm reassigning you to a different mission," Elder Maurice whispered. "Kill him whenever you get the chance."

Isabelle looked around them warily and said in horror, " Father, are you crazy? How can I possibly kill him? He killed Auguste! He's so powerful that I'm afraid he'll kill me as well."

"If you don't kill him, our family will fall apart!" Elder Maurice said with a huff.

He had planned to betroth his daughter to Terry to strengthen his family's power. However, even if his daughter were to marry Terry, she would not change his decision to reform Hestia. The only way was to make Terry disappear from this world.

"Belle, you're my most beloved daughter. I have no choice but to assign you this mission," Elder Maurice said earnestly. "If you execute this mission successfully, I'll be the next leader. Once that happens, I'll replace you all the men you desire."

Isabelle was stunned.

She could already ask for any man she desired with her current status.
