Old Master Bourne was not anxious to bring up Lonnie's matter. He lifted the teacup and took a sip.

"How is it?" asked Old Master Crawford. The tea they served was of good quality. Yet, it was not time for the impending topic of conversation just yet.

"It's good. It has a clear and refreshing taste that can't be compared to old tea. The flavor of the tea leaves is good. Crawford, which tea house is this from?" complimented Old Master Bourne.

"It's not from a big tea house. It's from our own tea house." smiled Old Master Crawford.

Luke and Louis knew that the old master enjoyed drinking tea. Hence, the brothers bought a tea house in F province.

The tea business was profitable and this way, the old master could enjoy some good tea too.

"Oh, that is really enviable." Old Master Bourne glanced at Lonnie, signaling him to say something.

Lonnie noticed Old Master Bourne's gaze. He lifted the teacup and said, "Yes, Old Master Crawford. This tea has a rich and fragrant taste. It's refreshing, and it leaves a revitalizing sensation. It's good tea."

Old Master Crawford lifted the teacup and took a sip. "Good tea leaves."

Old Master Bourne cleared his throat. After some small talk and tea, it was time to get down to business.

Just as he was about to speak, Old Master Crawford piped up, "Mr. Griffin, bring me the chessboard. I'd like to play a few games with Old Master Bourne."

Old Master Bourne was dumbfounded for a moment.

Lonnie, who was sitting next to him, was taken aback too.

"Alright, Old Master Crawford,” replied Mr. Griffin as he turned to fetch the chessboard.

While they were waiting for the chessboard to arrive, Old Master Bourne took the opportunity to say, "Crawford, other than our game of chess I have another matter concerning this young man to discuss with you."

"Oh? About Mr. Jackman?" There was a faint smile on Old Master Crawford's face, but anyone with a good eye could see that the smile did not reach his eyes.
