Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children novel 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.
