Hearing this, Phelps’s body trembled, and he hurriedly said, “It’s fine. Don’t worry and continue eating.” Then he glared at the waiter and said, “Immediately go buy the ingredients! I don’t care what you do or how much money you have to spend. Buy the ingredients and cook!”

At this point, the waiter noticed something abnormal about the room. So many dishes had been sent in, and even a hippopotamus would have been filled with such a load of food; yet, the customers were still claiming that they were hungry! In addition, what about the plates? F*ck, so many plates had been served, but not a single one was left. Could it be that these guys had even finished the plates?

However, he immediately rejected the idea. No one would believe that a human wouldn’t even spare the plates.

After serving the dishes again, the manager ran over and said bitterly, “Mr. Phelps, there are no more plates left… Why don’t you return us our plates first?”

“Why are you coming to me for plates when you are out of them? Don’t you know how to buy them? Get lost!” Phelps was truly about to go crazy. When he saw the expensive plates being crushed by Red Boy, his heart bled. Now, someone was asking him for the plates? He wanted to flatten that person into a plate himself!

The manager ran out dejectedly…

A day passed as Red Boy ate and drank. This was the day Windhouse became famous in Italy.

It wasn’t because its dishes were delicious, or its food expensive, but because Windhouse’s procurement agent had gone crazy. No matter which vegetable it was, he would just buy it with cash!

Someone raised the price? He would still buy it at raised prices!

Instantly, many people were dumbfounded.

“What’s the situation with the Windhouse? They don’t usually use much food at such a high-class restaurant.”

“The quantity of food per dish is so little, so of course there isn’t much. I don’t know what’s going on today, but one truck after another is pulling into their restaurant.”

“In the past, they bought the ingredients from a specific place. They were very particular about the ingredients, but today, they seem to have gone crazy. They want every raw ingredient, and they only want vegetables!”

“Could it be that Windhouse has changed into a zoo? That there’s a hippopotamus in there? Is that why they bought so much food?”

“That’s impossible. Look, they are also buying oil, salt, and vinegar. They’re obviously cooking the food.”

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. In any case, Windhouse is rich, so I’ll raise prices!”

“Yes, let’s raise prices!”

As a result, all the sellers started to raise their prices.

When Windhouse’s finance manager saw money rapidly get drained only to enter the hands of the vegetable vendors, tears almost streamed down his eyes. He went to look for Phelps a few times, but the first time he went in, he saw Phelps pulling at his hair.

The second time, Phelps was drinking.

The third time, Phelps was knocking his head against the table.

The fourth time, Phelps’s eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was in a mess. He looked at people as though he wanted to eat them up.

The fifth time, he felt a little nervous… But he still bit the bullet and rushed in.

“Money, money, money! Take it! The password is Gaia Windfate!” Phelps roared and sent the finance manager running out in a sorry state. He then continued his mass purchases of food.

The second day, the delivery vehicle changed from a van to a small truck.

On the third day, the food delivery vehicle became a trailer.

On the fourth day, it turned into two trailers.

On the fifth day, a trailer convoy lined outside Windhouse, which resembled a vegetable-eating monster by now. Every vehicle that entered came out empty.

On the sixth day, two chefs were carried out and sent to the hospital.

On the seventh day, all of the chefs resigned in unison. Windhouse did a large-scale recruitment of chefs, offering wages that were twice the market price!

On the eighth day, a large group of chefs entered Windhouse. It didn’t entertain any other customers, only wanting chefs, vegetables, and condiments!

On the ninth day, the farmers drove their own vehicles over. Just like the rumors went, as long as they were selling vegetables, Windhouse would take it all. As for the price? The prices had increased to ten times that of the normal prices! This delighted all the farmers.

Half a month later…

“Master…” Phelps looked at Fangzheng with a sobbing tone.

Fangzheng smiled. “Patron, this dish isn’t as delicious as before. You have to urge them not to slack off.”

Phelps wanted to cry. Slack off? More than ten chefs had collapsed of exhaustion! If it wasn’t for the sizable pay, most of the subsequent chefs would’ve long fled. As for the taste? It would be a reason to be happy if it was cooked!

However, Philps didn’t dare say that. The more he interacted with Fangzheng, the more he realized how terrifying the two monks in front of him were. Since the young monk was already so powerful, wouldn’t Fangzheng, as his master, be even more terrifying? This was the first time he regretted unscrupulously stealing Fangzheng’s formula. However, when he thought of the beautiful, promising dreams of the future, he persisted.

But Phelps knew that he wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer. He hadn’t slept much for half a month. Every day, he would be woken up just as he dozed off. His sleep was just enough to ensure that he wouldn’t die from a lack of sleep. However, the exhaustion accumulated. In half a month, he had truly experienced what it meant to pass a day as if it were a year, and how one’s hair could gray overnight.

That’s right. Phelps was only thirty years old, but his hair was already white.

When he looked at Fangzheng and his disciple, who were still brimming with energy, he felt despair.

During this period of time, Phelps spoke to his younger brother, Fields, only to have the latter roar. “What the hell is that monk? Ever since he came, our police station hasn’t had peace! A fire burned down the place! All the police officers, except for Britney, were injured by all kinds of accidents. They are all in the hospital. Brother, think of something yourself…”

Then he hung up.

But now, Phelps had no other choice. He nodded and urged his subordinates to do a good job with the cooking. Then, he picked up the phone and called the second son of the Rosius family, Erte.

“Ah, Phelps, I heard that your Windhouse has been doing quite well recently. Congratulations…” Erte’s voice was like a spring breeze. On the other side, there were the shouts of women and the sounds of waves crashing, as well as the rumbling sounds of a yacht engine. Clearly, this fellow was having fun outside.

Upon thinking of the life Erte was enjoying and then reflecting on his current life, Phelps felt aggrieved. “Business is doing quite well? If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll go bankrupt!”

“What do you mean?” Erte was stunned.

Phelps said, “Fangzheng is here with me. It has been half a month. He and his disciple have crazy appetites. Can you believe that a person who eats more than ten trucks of food still won’t be full? I can’t take it any longer. If there aren’t any results on your side, I’m going to withdraw. I really can’t take it anymore. These people are too good at torturing…”

After Erte heard this, he realized the seriousness of the matter and said in shock, “Fangzheng is with you? Wasn’t he at the police station? How can that be?”

“How the f*ck would I know! How would I know why there are two Fangzhengs in this world? F*ck, who can tell me what’s going on?” On the brink of a mental breakdown, Phelps roared.

“Hang in there, I’ll come over right away.” With that said, Erte hung up.
