Chương 39: Elizabeth is back to steal the Krabby Patty recipe!

Roland had no idea that she was being targeted by both the Church of Light and the Church of Steel.

After sending the sheep back to their posts, she began to think about the problem of insufficient manpower.

At this point, after more than a week of adjustment, "Laurent Krusty Krab" had entered a stable operating period.

The chaotic scene caused by too many customers in the previous days has not reappeared.

As its reputation grew, even nobles were willing to try this "cheap fast food for peasants".

Therefore, Sheep, as the former head chef of Pink Harbor, keenly sensed the opportunity and set up a "noble window" to provide a fast track for servants in noble households.

They also launched a "Deluxe Krusty Krab," which is a delicious Krab burger that doesn't use the advanced technology of seaweed crab.

Of course, most servants would buy both.

After all, nobles have no worries about food and clothing, and have plenty of curiosity that they can't satisfy.

……

Roland walked behind the Krusty Krab's floor-to-ceiling glass wall and looked out.

Outside the convenient window facing the street, a long queue had formed, which could be considered somewhat orderly.

Because the queue was so long, vendors started setting up stalls along the side, selling lemonade, hawking dark bread, and even selling beer from small wooden buckets...

Well, even queuing has spawned an entire industry chain.

"Oh dear, this is all money I should have earned!"

Roland sighed.

But the Krusty Krab is only so big, and the current number of windows, employees, and kitchens has almost reached its capacity limit.

This was even with Caryl pampering her as her "lover" and deliberately expanding the space.

Construction workers from the Pink Harbor Chamber of Commerce are now continuing to expand the Krusty Krab's side and second floor.

However, Roland felt that even if the expansion was successful, it would not be able to satisfy the endless stream of guests.

As for opening branches, putting aside the manpower issue, the secrecy surrounding the Krabby Patty recipe alone is a major headache.

……

Suddenly, the crowd in the distance became restless, and people quickly made way for each other, forgetting all about queuing.

Roland was about to go out and see what was happening when she saw the familiar Imperial Guards again.

They were dressed in red and black military uniforms, standing in neat rows, separating the crowd from the approaching carriages.

As the royal carriage came to a stop, a white-stockinged leg clad in exquisite gold high heels emerged.

Then a blonde, Lolita-like princess gracefully descended the steps.

When Roland saw this, she was completely bewildered and wished she could hide herself away.

Holy crap, it's Elizabeth!

Every time she comes over, it's never anything good!

Just as Roland was about to run away, Elizabeth turned her gaze toward him and smiled.

Roland's face immediately turned ugly, the steel brand on her back glowed slightly, and a feeling of heat surged into her heart.

……

The Krusty Krab office.

This was specially made by Kerry for Roland, and it's located to the left of the Krusty Krab.

At this moment, Roland and Elizabeth were sitting face to face.

Unlike last time, this time she had a sheep by her side, trying to maintain its imposing presence.

The sheep sat beside Roland, and for some reason, she always felt that Elizabeth harbored ill intentions towards her beloved.

Perhaps this little princess is also lusting after Miss Roland's beauty and plotting something wicked!

She, the little sheep, must protect Miss Roland's purity!

……

Elizabeth ignored the sheep's hostility, crossed her legs, looked around, and exclaimed in admiration.

"Miss Roland, you keep surprising me time and time again. It's only been a short time since we last met, and you've already developed such an amazing dish as the Roland Crab Burger."

Upon hearing this, Roland felt a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, the next moment, Elizabeth revealed her true purpose.

"I'm also very curious about the Krabby Patty recipe. For a product like this that benefits so many people, I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it from you. What do you say?"

That little bitch really did come to steal the recipe!

Dude, how come these people have such a keen business sense?

Shouldn't it be like an NPC in a novel, too slow to react, giving me, the transmigrator, room and time to develop?!

Roland was going crazy inside, and tentatively said.

"Your Highness Elizabeth, isn't this going a bit too far? You just took a potion recipe from me last time, and now you want to take another one? You can't keep taking advantage of me forever, can you?"

Upon hearing this, the sheep looked at Roland in surprise.

So, the Stabilizing Potion was also created by Miss Roland? That's amazing! No wonder she's such a beautiful girl who can make her so infatuated, hehehe...

Elizabeth frowned.

"Miss Roland, have you forgotten the reminder I gave you last time? I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you."

"Don't worry, I will provide you with full compensation this time as well, and you won't be disappointed with the profit sharing."

Roland wouldn't allow it; the Krusty Krab recipe was a crucial means for her to gather faith.

Collaborative development is fine, but simply handing over the formula and having Wayne Enterprises distribute it like a stable potion is absolutely unacceptable.

Roland looked at Elizabeth with unwavering determination.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for refusing. The Krusty Krab is a crucial step in my campaign for Saintess, and you promised to help me with that! Are you going to go back on your word?"

"Perhaps we can collaborate, with you investing in Krusty Krab and establishing branches in major cities..."

As Roland was speaking, Elizabeth raised her hand to interrupt her.

"Miss Roland, as I've said before, reputation is equally important to me. As for the position of Saintess... would you be interested in becoming the Saintess of the Steel Church?"

"ha?"

Roland looked at Elizabeth as if she were an idiot.

What does this mean? Is it asking her to apostatize?

Please, there are gods in this world, okay? Aren't you, little princess, afraid of getting a beating from the God of Light?

"Your Highness is joking, right? Please refrain from making such presumptuous remarks again."

Elizabeth looked at Roland.

"You think I'm joking?"

"The Church of Light has plenty of candidates for sainthood. Those like you who have been sent to the margins are basically just running errands. As long as my Church of Steel pays a price, we can replace you directly."

"Don't use any religious issues to reject me." Elizabeth leaned forward, revealing a mocking smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Roland isn't particularly loyal to the Church of Light, is she?"

Roland's expression changed.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. My loyalty to God is as clear as the sun and moon, and as evident as heaven and earth."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. As for the Krusty Krab recipe, I can only accept cooperation."

"Moreover, the Krabby Patty recipe was not created by me. Its true creator is Miss Sheep next to me, an employee of Pink Harbor."

Elizabeth ignored Roland's exaggerated performance and instead turned her attention to the sheep.

"Oh, so this young lady created the amazing Krabby Patty recipe?"

The sheep had long disliked Elizabeth.

They were so aggressive towards Miss Roland; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a master giving orders to a servant.

Seeing that she finally had a chance to perform, the sheep mustered her courage and raised her head.

"That's right. Even if you are an imperial princess, you cannot forcibly take things from us. That would be extremely immoral."

There was something else she didn't say.

She's just an imperial princess. Their Pink Harbor even has a partnership with the rising Fifth Prince. She's seen Caril discussing business deals with the Fifth Prince.

Thinking this, and driven by hormones, the sheep became even more agitated.

He moved forward, subtly shielding Roland behind him.

Elizabeth squinted as she took in the scene.

"Miss Sheep seems quite hostile towards me. May I ask why?"

"reason?"

The sheep, with its silly and adorable brain, answered confidently without even turning its head.

"Because you're bullying Miss Roland. Bullying Miss Roland is like going against me, the sheep!"

Elizabeth realized that he was a die-hard fan of Roland.

Heh, you simple-minded low-level succubus, you never expected this, did you? The pure goddess in your heart has already been branded with my [Iron Mark].

With a thought, she activated the steel brand.

Roland, sitting opposite, had a drastic change in expression.
