Chapter 129 Ink Fragrance of Spring

Half an hour later, Billy and Casey drove towards their destination.

Over an hour later, Casey slammed on the brakes and parked the car in front of a large tea house on the outskirts of town.

"Hey bro!" Judge walked over as soon as they got out of the car and greeted Casey before turning to Billy.

"So, what's the situation?" asked Billy.

"According to our sources, this tea house is owned by a guy named Mason Kemp, who keeps a low profile and rarely shows his face. The business is managed by a woman named Rainbow Carter."

"When they take on assassination jobs," Judge added. "They never say that they're from Ink Pavilion or answer any questions from clients. They just tell them to wait for news."

"Alright then," Billy said before turning around and heading towards the tea house with Casey and Judge following closely behind.

"Please come inside." A woman in a tight dress greeted them as they entered the lobby.

"Do you have private rooms?" Judge asked.

"Yes, please follow me." The woman smiled before leading them to a private room.

"What kind of tea would you like?" She asked once they were seated in their room.

"I heard that you have Ink Fragrance of Spring here?" Judge looked up at her curiously.

"Oh?" The woman was slightly surprised. "Are you gentlemen here specifically for Ink Fragrance of Spring?"

"Yes," Judge nodded. "I've heard it's really good so please bring us a pot of it."

"Excuse me, Ink Fragrance of Spring is the most expensive tea here. I wonder if you three can accept it!" The cheongsam woman hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Really? How much?" Judge asked.

"One pot, one hundred thousand!" the woman replied.

"Tsk tsk, you guys are making so much money that you could just open a bank." Judge said with some sarcasm.

"You're kidding," the woman smiled. "If you think the price is too high, we have many other good teas here that are very affordable. How about..."

"We came all this way specifically for Ink Fragrance of Spring. Otherwise, why bother coming all this way?" Judge interrupted her.

"Sure thing! We can pay for it as long as the tea's good. We'll take several pots if we have to."

"Alright then, please wait a moment!" The woman paused before walking towards the door. As she turned around at the last second, there was a hint of something strange in her eyes.

"When did you become so extravagant?" Casey spoke up after the woman left.

"If we don't drink this tea, we can't see the boss, right? Is there something special about it?" Billy asked with a faint smile on his face.

"Brilliant!" Judge chuckled smugly.

"In general, Ink Pavilion doesn't take orders from strangers, they rely on recommendations from acquaintances instead. And Ink Fragrance of Spring... only acquaintances know about this kind of tea." He explained further

"Not bad! You've even figured that out?" Casey laughed again.

"Well of course! Otherwise why come here? We can't just surround their tea house right? What if their boss isn't there and we spook them off?" Judge grinned widely.

"That's progress!" Casey laughed once more

After chatting for a while, they heard a sound of high heels echoed through the hallway.
