The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 304 The Concubine

"I'm not telling you!" Daniel was anything but compliant.

Jessica grabbed his ear firmly, her voice sharp with threat, "Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'll twist this ear right off! I wonder if you'd be more obedient without it."

"If I didn't have ears, I’d be even less inclined to talk."

"So are you going to spill the beans?"

"Alright, alright! It's because they were stored in different places!"

"Nonsense! All of 'The Concubine' masks were stored in the company warehouse. How come they were stored in different places?"

"Even within the same warehouse, different spots can make a difference. If you don't believe me, take me to the warehouse and I'll show you!"

"Fine, let's go! I want to see what ‘differences’ you’re talking about."

Jessica was curious. She wanted to know what this idiot was up to.

TMO's warehouse was, of course, not near the office building; it was in the suburbs where the rent was cheaper. A few years ago, Jessica had purchased a 20,000-square-foot warehouse for less than ten million—a bargain at less than five hundred dollars per square foot.

Daniel zoomed down the road in his Palamela, cutting the usual half-hour drive down to fifteen minutes before arriving with Jessica at the warehouse entrance.

He pushed open the large doors and immediately, a pungent, musty smell hit them. Normally, the warehouse only had one security guard and no one to manage the environment within. Thus, the

warehouse was essentially unused, and 'The Concubine' masks that couldn't be sold were piled up there.

Looking at the damp spots on the ground, Jessica was surprised.
