"Father, what's Sir Dominic's attitude?" Jonah asked Bowen, who was sitting opposite him in the horse-drawn carriage.
"Ha. That old thing. As long as there are women and money, there's nothing he can't handle." Bowen pursed his lips in disdain. "But he asked for 30% in cash. We have to calculate the value of these properties when we get back, and then prepare the money. We'll go to the Department of Property Rights tomorrow morning to hand in the money and get the ruling."
"We've estimated the value of these properties to be around 1 billion copper coins. Sir Dominic is asking for too much this time," Jonah said with a frown.
"Bennett's matter is a little complicated. If we're not careful, we might be implicated. If we follow the legal procedures flawlessly, these properties will naturally belong to us." Bowen smiled, and said to Jonah, "This is called spending money to avoid disaster. It's unavoidable. Besides, with this money, that old thing Dominic will be in the same boat as us. Even if something happens in the future, he will have to help us."
Jonah nodded thoughtfully. Sir Dominic was a high-ranking official in the city lord's castle, and he was directly in charge of property rights. With his endorsement, this matter would definitely be settled.
Although they had to fork out an extra 300 million copper coins, the 700 million copper coins would definitely land in their pockets. No wonder Father was so calm earlier.
"Father, what about that hot pot restaurant?" Jonah asked.
"Of course, it's still within the scope of recovery. Dominic can get 8,000,000 copper coins from there. He's not someone who would let the meat in his mouth fly away," Bowen said with a smile.
Jonah hesitated, and said, "But Father, that hot pot restaurant might be related to the Gray Temple. I think it's safer not to claim the ownership of the hot pot restaurant for the time being. We'll wait until Bennett's matter is settled, and all the charges are cleared, and we figure out how Miss Raina got that hot pot restaurant before we make a decision. "
"Jonah, if you want to be the head of the family, you have to be bold enough." Bowen looked at Jonah, and seriously said, "The Department of Property Rights is in charge of property rights. What right does the Gray Temple have to interfere? If you're hesitant about something that's in the bag, how can you be the head of a big family? "
"Yes," Jonah replied with his head lowered. Although there were still doubts in his eyes, he didn't continue arguing.
In Chaos City, the city lord's castle was in charge of government affairs, while the Gray Temple was in charge of punishment and defense. Under normal circumstances, the Gray Temple would indeed not interfere in government affairs.
However, he was still a little worried. He couldn't help but think of the boss of Amy's. He felt that the matter wouldn't be resolved so easily.

Rodu, the flying steed landing pad outside the royal palace.
Sean stood in front of a majestic giant golden eagle, and looked at the dozens of people who came with him. He loudly said, "This time, I'm visiting Chaos City on behalf of the empire. I hope we can complete the mission that His Majesty has given us."
Half of these people were from the military, and there were even two 10th-tier generals among them. The other half were civil officials who were responsible for the negotiations, and there were also eight magic casters from the Magus Tower led by Brent and Elliot.
Sean was also a little perplexed as to why his father would arrange for two great magic casters to accompany him on this trip. After all, Josh had been in the Magus Tower for many years, yet he was now bringing two great magic casters to Chaos City.
However, this was not a bad thing for him. The one who should be having a headache was Joshua.
Everyone smiled and complimented Sean before boarding the giant golden eagles and flying to Chaos City.
It was a tradition for different races and regions to visit each other. Other than a few races that couldn't get along with each other completely, all the other races would still visit each other to maintain their basic friendship.
However, there had never been such a big entourage like this in the past. The first prince was leading the team personally, and there were two 10th-tier knights and two 10th-tier magic casters. It was really rare.
Everyone could vaguely guess. After all, Alex had been appearing in Chaos City recently, and his relationship with the empire was a little unpredictable. In order to protect the first prince, it was reasonable for them to be on the safe side.
…
"Today, the Roth Empire's diplomatic team will officially visit our Chaos City. The first prince of the Roth Empire will be leading the team, and there will also be two 10th-tier knights and two great magic casters accompanying them. This is the highest level of diplomatic team in the past 10 years. We have to do a good job of receiving them and show Chaos City's style …" Chaos City's foreign affairs department had already started the preparations for the reception. They still had to coordinate the city lord's itinerary so that the Roth Empire's diplomatic team could meet the city lord at the right time.
"Andre's diplomatic team this time is a little unusual. Seems like he's still a little worried that Alex will do something to Sean," Michael said with a smile as he looked at the report sent by Dicus.
"Princess Vanessa and Duke Abraham are also in Chaos City. Apart from a routine visit, the Roth Empire's diplomatic team also has another purpose, which is to bring Princess Vanessa back. This princess is deeply doted on by King Andre. I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact that he sent two great magic casters, "Dicus replied with a smile.
"Speaking of which, my Princess Vanessa is quite fond of eating at Amy's. I wonder if Sean can bring her back." A strange smile appeared on Michael's face.
"Maybe he will be addicted to it too." Dicus didn't comment.
…
When Meg returned to the restaurant, he went to Raina's hot pot restaurant to take a look. Tens of elves were modifying the restaurant's overall decoration.
Adding wood and green embellishments in the large expanse of gold made the restaurant look less luxurious, and more refreshing and natural. This made the hot pot restaurant more suitable for the low-spending crowd.
Choosing elven carpenters was indeed a very good decision. Meg nodded with satisfaction.
"Boss, you're here." Raina came down from the second floor, and saw Meg standing in the middle of the main hall. She quickly walked up to him.
"Mm-hmm. I was on my way back from some errands, so I came in to take a look." Meg nodded with a smile, and praised, "The decorations are pretty good."
"They are all very outstanding carpenters. The effect has completely exceeded my expectations." Raina nodded in agreement. The large expanse of gold gave her a headache, but after the elves' skillful modification, the hot pot restaurant now exceeded her expectations.
"Oh, yes. Boss, I'm almost done with the first version of the hot pot soup. Can you try it for me?" Raina looked at Meg expectantly.
"Oh? You've already decided on the first version? " Meg was also a little surprised to hear that, but he quickly nodded with a smile. "Of course. Do you want to go back to the restaurant, or do you want to do it here?"
"I've already started using the kitchen upstairs. I've already prepared the two first version of the hot pot soup. You just have to come upstairs with me." Raina led Meg upstairs.
