Chapter 874 Chess and Tea
In the Sawyer Residence, Remus came downstairs to find Nicholas sitting on the sofa. With a snort, he said coldly, “What are you doing here?”
“Still angry?” Nicholas looked sideways at Remus without paying mind to the latter’s tone. With a wry smile, he said indifferently, “I was thinking of inviting you to a game of chess. Also, I’ve asked someone to bring this can of tea leaves over as well, as I’ve heard that it’s a new product that has a nice fragrance. But, since you’re still angry, then I’d better come back another day instead.”
Just as Nicholas was about to get up and leave, Remus said in slight annoyance, “Hold it. Did I tell you to leave?”
Here, a gleam flashed in Nicholas’ eyes. He then turned around and feigned ignorance. “What other orders do you have for me?”
“Give me that can of tea leaves you have.” Remus held his hand out to Nicholas. He hadn’t the intention of keeping Nicholas here; he only wanted that can of quality tea leaves Nicholas brought with him.
Looking at Remus acting so proudly, Nicholas smiled as he handed it over to him.

Then, Remus opened one of the cans and knew that the quality of these tea leaves was impeccable, as a refreshing fragrance escaped the moment the can was opened. “Well, at least you still have the heart to do this.” Feeling satisfied, he closed the can with a faint smile on his face before he handed it off to Ian, who had been standing by the side. “Go and make a cup of this tea. As for the kid, just a cup of plain water is fine for him. Oh yes, bring me my chess set as well. I’ll be thoroughly teaching this kid a lesson tonight.”
Smiling, Ian left and did as ordered. Soon after, he came back with Remus’ tea and chess set. Naturally, he didn’t dare to serve Nicholas a cup of plain water as Remus had ordered, as he knew that his master did not mean his words.
