“Unexpectedly, however, the supplier was very generous! They sold us a huge batch at a bargain price. But now, each bottle of ketchup costs over 300 federal coins! Beastmasters all over the city are rushing to buy it. I don’t know why, but they seem to like it even more than ordinary people!”

“We’re making easy money!”

‘The restaurant owner was not at fault’

‘However, this batch of ketchup is highly addictive. It reminds me of something... The Boosters!’

“Is it a local supplier?”

“No, they’re from Gold City...”

Locke had already guessed who was behind this!

It was the Trent family again!

He said, “This ketchup is highly addictive. Especially so for Beastmasters. It reminds me too much of the Boosters. There might be a conspiracy at play here...”

Dickens had taken Locke’s analysis rather badly.

He slapped his thigh and shouted, “It’s over! It’s over! My precious daughter! I can’t believe I’ve poisoned my precious baby girl!”

Just as he was about to run out of the office, a melodious female voice rang out from outside the door, “Daddy! Aren’t you done with your business yet? I’m already done with my meal!”

It was Rosetti!

‘So Rosetti is Dickens’ daughter?’

Locke immediately ordered Lil’ White to teleport him out of the office! He did not want his schoolmates to know that he had connections with the underground forces.

Rosetti walked into the office and blinked her beautiful big eyes. “Dad! I’m about to leave soon. Have you seen my classmate? His name is Locke! He left his phone on the dining table...”

Dickens was similarly shocked!

He did not expect his daughter to be friends with Locke!

He did not know how to react.

Upon noticing Locke’s absence however, he realized what his boss intended.

After rolling his eyes, he smiled and said, “My dear daughter, are you full? Tell your classmates not to hold anything back, everything will be free of charge!”

“Also... Please don’t eat that ketchup anymore...”

Lawrence patted his round belly and said in disappointment, “Huh? Uncle Dickens, I want to bring a few bottle of them back! Did you run out of stock? Can you contact the supplier then?”

Upon noticing Lawrence’s desire for the ketchup, Dickens was even more convinced of Locke’s words.

“Dad! Just take a few bottles of them out. I know that supplies are running low, but Lawrence is a good friend of mine...” Rosetti pouted.

“I won’t sell it again in the future! My dear daughter, why don’t we go to the hospital for a check-up!” Dickens was deeply afraid that something had happened to his daughter due to the ketchup, and thus, he took a stern tone with her.

Rossetti put her hands on her waist and said angrily, “Why are you talking so strangely today? I’m only talking politely to you to keep your image as an underground boss intact! Tell me! What’s going on?”

Rossetti, who was no longer acting like a kid, returned to her usual way of communicating with her father at home!

“My dear daughter, this matter is a little complicated, listen to me slowly...” Dickens immediately changed back to a gentle expression.

The change in their attitudes made the restaurant owner cover his mouth and laugh.

He did not expect Dickens to be afraid of his daughter.

“I can explain...” Locke’s voice came from behind Rosetti and Lawrence.

“Oh my, Locke, where did you go...”

“I went to the kitchen just now...” Then he looked at Dickens and said politely, “Hello!”

Dickens was very terrified. He knew that he could not act friendly with Locke. After calming himself down, he said, “Are... Are you a friend of Rosetti’s... H-Hello...”

Rosetti felt that her father was acting strange, but she could not tell why. Thus, she only crossed her arms and gave her father a murderous glare.

Noticing the ketchup bottle in Locke’s hand, Lawrence immediately exclaimed, “Locke! Give it to me!”

Locke turned around and dodged the fatty.

“There’s something wrong with this thing. Don’t eat it anymore. Rosetti, I heard that your Battle Beast has the ability to detect...”

Seeing Locke’s serious look, Rosetti knew that things were more than meets the eye. After nodding, she walked out with Locke.

...

They were standing behind the restaurant.

Rosetti asked, “Locke, there shouldn’t be any problem with this thing...”

“Just check it for me!”

Rosetti summoned her Life Spirit.

Under her command, the Battle Beast began to inspect the bottle of ketchup.

A few minutes later, Rosetti, who was well-versed in medicine, turned pale. “There’s an addictive substance in this... After eating it twice, you’ll becoming highly dependent on it. If you’ve consumed it more than ten times... You’ll become addicted to it for the rest of your life...”

Lawrence was so frightened that his forehead was covered in sweat. He hurriedly stretched out his finger and counted. “Rosetti and I have ate it around five times. We should be fine...”

Although they were not completely addicted to it just yet, Locke could tell that something was wrong from Rosetti’s terrified expression.

“Although this poison doesn’t differentiate between humans, Beastmasters will absorb it even faster due to their unique constitutions! It also has a second function, in which it gradually seals a Beastmaster’s mana channels...”

At this point, Rosetti felt a sudden lack of mana. In a few minutes, her Life Spirit returned to her spatial inventory due to a lack of mana.

Lawrence also realized the severity of the situation, and he immediately attempted to summon Mike!

However, even after several tries, there was still no response!

“It’s over! It’s over! We’ll inform the instructors! Locke, we’ll meet you at the academy...” Lawrence grabbed Rosetti’s hand and ran towards the direction of the academy.

Dickens, who had just arrived, saw this scene.

He shouted from behind, “Brat! Let go of your dirty hands! Don’t touch my baby daughter... !”

With the two students now gone, Locke was left alone with Dickens and lackeys.

Locke asked curiously, “Dickens, seeing as you’re this short and plump, is Rosetti really your biological daughter? No matter how he looked at it, it doesn’t seem like it.”

Dickens dared not get angry. “Boss, you might not know, but back when I was younger, I was very handsome! It was Rosetti’s mother who pursued me!”

Then, he took out a photo from his bosom and handed it over.

Locke had an expression of disbelief upon seeing the photo!
