Benis buped in satisfaction after gulping down the takeout they got from Evermore Diner.
He was even tone
Before tasting their food, he firmly believed that the dishes wondlil be mediocre and that the food
from Gastronova Ventures was undoubtedly the best.
Now after tasting the food from Evermore Diner, however, he ich that he had never eaten real food
before.
Gastronova Ventures vegetables were never as fresh as this, and the chicken was never this
tender. Plus, Evermore Diner had ?e up with many innovative dishes such as their tonic drink
Evermore Diner was really living up to its promise by providing its diners with natural and healthy
food. Inparison. Gastronova Ventures dishes were heavy in seasoning, excessive in calories,
and high in cholesterol.
He finally understood why Evermore Diner had won over all those diners.
He would also choose Evermore Diner over Gastronova Ventures because the food was simply too
good.
And he just couldn’t tolerate that thought.
If things went on like this, Gastronova Ventures would go out of business.
Benjamin turned to look at Carol and said, “We must hurry up and execute the n…”
“Understood, Mr. Palmer, she replied solemnly.
While Benjamin and Ms. Patterson were plotting against Evermore Diner, Gilmore was sitting in
ire’s office.
Gilmore had seen through their plot. His eyelids twitched and his pupils contracted.
However, he didn’t show any emotion on his face. He attentively listened to ire’s report on
Evermore Diner’s monthly performance.
Gilmore’s parents and Gerald were also there.
Ever since Gilmore had opened the 80 branches, his parents had stepped out of the kitchen and
moved into management
ire looked at everyone said. “Since our 80 branches opened in Oakhaven, our business has
been showing excellent performance this month. At present, our business has taken up 50% of the
market, Gastronova ounts for 10%, and the remaining 35% is taken up by all the major catering
businessesbined. It’s safe to say that Evermore Diner is already the biggest catering brand in
Oakhaven.”
The second ire finished speaking, everyone apuded.
“Great, the biggest catering brand in the market!” Han eximed.
Sophia beamed. “I never thought that our restaurant would be so popr in Oakhaven.”
When she was just selling food at a small stand in Springvale, some tourists said that her food
would definitely be popr in Oakhaven
She didn’t take it seriously back then. But now, it hade true,
“To further develop our business, I say we expand Evermore Diner to other major cities in Vane,
ire said confidently.
Then, she looked at Gilmore and asked, “Calinore, do you have anything to add
You have my full support for this. Just do what you think might be good for the business.” He gave
her a simple answer.
Okay, then 11 just execute my n,” ire said. “That concludes today’s meeting”
Gilmore nodded.
He then straightened up from the chair and turned to Gerald. “Come with me. I need your help with
something”
Just when Gerald was about to leave with Gilmore, ire asked out of curiosity, “Gilmore, what are
you guys going to do?”
“It’s a secret. Gilmore smiled and left her guessing.
Then, he walked out of the office with Gerald,
About 10 minutester, Gilmore drove his Mercedes to a restaurant–called Lunar Café in
Oakhaven.
“Gilmore, are you hungry? Gerald nced at the sign and asked curiously.
He looked at Gerald as he replied, “No, we need to set up pinhole cameras in two private rooms
here. This is an espionage
mission
Gerald was a little shocked.
Gilpore even stopped at a shop on the way and bought two pinhole cameras, which made Gerald
wonder what he was going -to do with them.
It was only now t
that Gerald learned that Cilmore was going to set them up in private rooms of this restaurant.
“But why? Why do you have to set them up in here?” Gerald asked in puzzlement.
“A little bird told me that Castronova Ventures is going out of business. Benjamin wants to
undermine our business.” Gilmore looked at Gerald as he said, ‘He invited some of our chefs to
dine here. He nned to buy off our chefs and ask them to put bugs in our dishes in order to
nder us.”

Of course, it wasn’t a little bird that told him about this. It was because he had God’s Eye.
Hearing that, Gerald was exasperated and asked Gilmore, “Why don’t we call the police?”
Gilmore smiled. “Of course, we’re going to report this to the police. The reason why we’re here to
set up pinhole cameras is to collect evidence. And once we’ve caught them on camera… You know
the drill.”
Gerald finally came around. He smiled in return. “Got it, I know,
Then, he turned and asked, “Gilmore, what should we do?”
“Set the pinhole camer better view, Gilmore said
in the first two
private rooms on the
third floor. Make sure you hide them up high so we can
ger a
“Got it” Gerald nodded.
The two of them then got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.
They went to the third floor, reserved two private rooms, ordered some food, and installed the
pinhole cameras.
After finishing the instation, they paid the bill and zoomed away.
Later that day, a Rolls–Royce drove into the parking lot of Lunar Cafe.
1304 F1, Aug 23 DOW·
Benjamin and Carol got out and walked into the restaurant.
The manager weed them respectfully. “Mr. Palmer, Ms. Patterson, the first two private rooms
on the third floor are reserved for you.”
Lunar Cafe also belonged to Gastronova Ventures.
Carol nodded at the manager.
Then, they followed the manager upstairs.
The two walked into the first private room.
After pouring a cup of tea for each of them, the manager left and closed the door behind him.
“Mr. Palmer, Winona Reese, our informant at Evermore Diner, already made an appointment with
the five chefs. They’ll be
here soon.
Benjamin nodded and took a sip of his tea.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door. They also heard a voice saying, “Chefs, follow me to
the second private room!” “Okay, we’re here.”
Benjamin and Carol heard the group of people enter the private room next door.
“Mr. Palmer, I think those are the people we’re waiting for, Carol whispered.
