So this is Chaos City? As expected, it really is the only city on the Norland Continent that can compare with Rodu. Furthermore, there are all kinds of races coming and going here; what an interesting city. Within an extravagant deer carriage constructed from green tree branches, a slender hand lifted the curtains of the carriage. Blour looked at the stream of people entering and exiting the city gate, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
The carriage was very spacious, and was being drawn by two brown deer that were over a head taller than normal horses. They had a pair of large black antlers on their heads, and were quite eye-catching among the long line of people waiting to enter the city.
"That elven girl is so beautiful."
"She is. I've seen elves in the past, but I've never seen such a beautiful one."
All of the passersby's eyes lit up at the sight of Blour, and they began to discuss quietly among themselves.
"Bullsh * t! That's a f * cking man! Why are you looking at me like that?! " A middle-aged dwarf pursed his lips, but he still murmured to himself, "But he really is f * cking beautiful."
"Sigh, looks like I really am the center of attention no matter where I go. How frustrating." Blour lowered the curtains of the carriage and heaved a resigned sigh as he closed his eyes.
"The young mistress of the Brewster Family is working as a waitress in a small restaurant? If news of this were to spread, all of those old geezers who are still waiting for her to replace Princess Irina would probably be so scared that their teeth would fall out. " Blour murmured to himself as the carriage slowly drove forward. He opened his mouth to yawn, and shook his head as he murmured to himself, "Forget it. I'm going to take a beauty nap for a couple of days after I get there. I can't let anything affect my recovery …"
…
"City Lord, we've already made a rough estimate of Woodrow's abuse of civilians, embezzling compensation and relief funds, and allowing his nephew, Warrick, to humiliate and oppress the families of the deceased miners. At least 50 civilians have been killed, including 35 women and 5 children under the age of 10. Woodrow has embezzled over six million copper coins in compensation and relief funds from the miners, and we're still investigating the crimes committed by the guards and Warrick's hired thugs. The scope of the crimes has already expanded beyond the area where the families of the deceased miners are living, and the number of victims is still increasing."
Within the city lord's castle, an official looked at Michael, who was sitting behind a desk, and spoke with a grave expression. There was undisguised shock and fury on his face.
"City Lord, the Lord of the Gray Temple has already signed the document. Apart from the members of the Gray Temple who have to carry out their missions, the ten elders have already gathered. They will cooperate with the city lord's castle in the inspection of the other patrolmen's manors." Another official quickly walked in and reported.
"Tell them to set off right away and conduct a thorough investigation! I want to see just how many bastards like this there are in Chaos City. I want to see just how many dirty things have been going on right under our noses without us knowing. "Michael clenched his fists as he spoke in a grim voice.
"Yes!" The official hurried out of the room, and he couldn't help but pick up his pace. Chaos City was most likely going to be turned on its head this time.
"Continue to investigate Woodrow's case. Even though justice is already late, we have to make sure that all of the civilians know that we're always there. Have the finance department conduct an overnight investigation and calculate all of the compensation and relief funds that have been embezzled from the families of the deceased miners. At the same time, compensate all of the civilians who were killed by Woodrow and Warrick, and make sure that they're properly taken care of, "Michael instructed as he turned to the official.
"Okay." The official nodded, turned around, and walked out quickly.
If it weren't for the fact that Meg appeared today and saved that mother and daughter, things like this would've been repeated over and over again. Similar things could be happening in many places in Chaos City every day. As expected, it's not that easy to make this world a better place. Just Chaos City alone is enough to create such a problem. Looks like I have to do a lot more if I want to promote this concept to the entire Norland Continent. Michael made his way over to the window, and a contemplative look appeared on his face as he looked at the tall and straight poplar tree outside.
Come to think of it, I really do have to thank him for this. At the very least, he gave the city lord's castle a chance to resolve this issue before more people were harmed. Michael thought back to the young man who had rejected him after hearing that he was the city lord. He really was an interesting person.
…
After Sally and Yabemiya finished cleaning up the restaurant, they both said that they had to go back to work, and that they would be back on time before the restaurant opened for business.
As for the overtime pay, Meg didn't force them. He would just give them the full amount at the end of the month. In any case, this money had already been included in the city lord's castle's reservation fee.
"System, update the menu. Add ice cream to the menu. Sell it for 200 copper coins each, and there are four flavors to choose from. Also, rearrange the dishes on the menu. Single dishes, side dishes, desserts, drinks … Differentiate them according to their characteristics, "Meg said internally as he pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Let me remind you once again that this system is a proper God of Cookery cultivation system. It's already very considerate of me to help you add new dishes to the menu. Rearranging the dishes is too much work, so I won't do it!" The system's stern voice sounded with an unquestionable tone.
"Tsk, tsk. Tell me, how much do you want this time? 10 copper coins? 100 copper coins? Or are you going to ask for 1,000 copper coins? "Meg pursed his lips in a joking manner.
"Please don't use money to humiliate me! Is this the kind of system I am? I'm telling you now: I don't want 1,000 copper coins from you! Only 998 copper coins! Only 998 copper coins! Take home the menu rearrangement package! " The system's impassioned voice sounded as if there was a 3D surround sound system roaring at Meg.
"System, turn off your lousy sound system. I'm going deaf." Meg frowned. The system's performance had never disappointed him. It was impossible for it to have integrity.
"Host, this is my newly developed 5D surround sound system. It has an all-around sound system, and the receiver can enjoy the best sound quality …" The system blabbered on unhappily.
"Let me understand the menu rearrangement package," Meg interrupted the system and asked calmly.
The system was silent for a while before it continued, "Host, please don't interrupt the system next time. This will cause confusion in my speech structure. Also, this is a very respectful behavior."
