Mag already had two detailed plans in his mind, but none of them met his expectations. Regardless of whether he was collaborating with Hydle or going to the city lord's castle, it would be very difficult for him to secure what he wanted at the negotiation table when there was too much of a disparity in power between the two parties.
As expected, dealing with politicians is the most troublesome thing. If I can't see any results, it's basically impossible to convince them to compromise. Meg shook his head with a smile as he looked at the empty space in front of the restaurant. However, the current government of Chaos City was already very interesting, so it wasn't impossible for Meg to make some concessions to them.
He didn't want much; all he wanted was a stable life. Making money was just a side benefit.
Just as Meg was about to fall asleep, a crisp voice sounded beside his ear. "Mr. Meg, right? I'm from the city lord's castle's finance department, and I'm here to settle the fees for booking the restaurant yesterday."
"Yes, I did. I didn't think the city lord's castle would be so efficient." Meg opened his eyes to find a woman in the city lord's castle's blue uniform standing before him with a smile on her face.
The woman appeared to be around 21 or 22 years of age, with a petite figure and an oval face. She had a head of black hair that just reached her ears, and appeared to be very capable and efficient. She was looking at Meg with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Is this the restaurant owner who ended the meeting in one night?" Fanny looked at Meg, and found that he was younger and more handsome than she had imagined. He was a very charming middle-aged man.
The conference between the dragons and demons concluded in a single night, and the news that both sides had successfully reached an agreement and signed an armistice agreement in the morning had already spread throughout the city lord's castle. It was rumored that the owner of the restaurant where the conference had taken place last night had become the talk of the town.
It was said that the restaurant owner had contributed greatly to the conclusion of the conference. It was just that the specific content of the conference was confidential, so no one had heard about it. However, that was enough to cast a veil of mystery over the owner of the restaurant.
300,000 copper coins for booking the entire restaurant for a single night, a mysterious owner, and a key figure in the conference; all of this was enough to make people curious.
"Is there something on my face?" Meg smiled as he looked at Fanny, who was staring at him. Compared to her capable and experienced appearance, this young woman was a little adorable.
"Ah, no." Fanny also came to her senses, and she hurriedly shook her head as a blush appeared on her face. She looked at Meg with an embarrassed expression, and asked, "Mr. Meg, is it convenient for you to settle the bill now?"
"Of course, please come in." Meg nodded with a smile. He opened the door of the restaurant and gestured for Fanny to enter.
"Thank you." Fanny nodded slightly as she gave Meg another thumbs up in her heart. Aside from his handsome looks, he was also a gentle and polite person.
Fanny's eyes were filled with amazement as she looked around the restaurant. She was wondering why the city lord had chosen such a small restaurant, but she didn't think that aside from the massive transparent crystal at the entrance, the interior of the restaurant was just as lavish.
"Please have a seat and drink some water," Meg said with a smile as he walked out of the kitchen and gently placed a cup of water on the table.
"Thank you." Fanny sat down and placed the folder in her hand onto the table. She carefully picked up the glass cup with both hands, and her gaze slowly drifted upward until she was at eye level with the cup. She was slightly taken aback by the sight of Meg sitting across from her, and she blinked with incredulity. She suddenly realized that what she was doing was a little inappropriate, and she hurriedly tilted the cup toward her before tucking her hair behind her ear in an apologetic manner. "Sorry, this is my first time seeing a crystal cup, so …"
"It's alright, it's nothing. The first time I saw it, I hugged it to sleep for an entire night." Meg shook his head with a smile.
"Pffft!" Fanny couldn't help but burst into laughter as she looked at Meg with gratitude in her eyes. Just a simple sentence had resolved the awkwardness between them.
"This is the receipt form; please sign here. I need to take it back with me." Fanny took a sip of water to compose herself before pulling out two pieces of paper from the folder and handing them to Meg. At the same time, she handed over a blue pouch with a smile, and said, "Also, here are 300 dragon coins; please check them."
"I'm sure the city lord's castle won't shortchange me by even a single copper coin." Meg picked up a pen and signed his name on the paper before stowing away the pouch with a smile.
The system had already notified him of the amount of money he had received, and he wasn't shortchanged by even a single copper coin.
"Mr. Meg really is an interesting person." Fanny took the document back. She had already counted the money twice before coming here, so she wasn't worried that it was missing. She glanced at the document, and was a little surprised. The handwriting on the document was elegant and beautiful, even better than her own.
"If I don't open a restaurant, there won't be any customers," Meg said with a smile.
In this life, perhaps it was because of Amy, but he had become a lot more outgoing. In his past life, aside from a few fair-weather friends, he was very aloof toward everyone else. However, in this life, he was more willing to listen to the conversations of these customers and listen to their interesting conversations and stories.
Without the strings of numbers on the Internet, he was paying more attention to life, and only then did he discover that life was far more interesting than he had imagined.
"Um … Mr. Meg, I heard that Mamy's is very delicious. Can I order a meal now? I came here without breakfast. " Fanny put away the document, and looked at Meg with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes. Before coming here, her colleagues had told her that the owner of Mamy's was very rigid and wouldn't cook outside of business hours. However, after meeting Meg today, she felt that he was more gentle and kind than she had imagined, so perhaps he would agree to her request.
"My apologies, but the restaurant isn't open right now, so we don't serve food. If you'd like to eat, you can come here during business hours." Meg shook his head with a smile. There was no room for negotiation.
"Alright, then I'll come again next time." Fanny nodded with a hint of disappointment at the sight of Meg's determined expression. She drank the water in her cup and stood up with the document in her hand. "Then, Mr. Meg, I'll be taking my leave now. By the way, my name is Fanny."
"Alright, Miss Fanny." Meg stood up and walked Fanny out of the door. After watching her disappear into the distance, he said in his mind, "System, I'd like to purchase a second strength point."
"The second strength point will cost 50000 gold coins. Are you sure you wish to purchase it?" the system's voice sounded.
"Yes, purchase! I want to become stronger. "Meg nodded with a determined look in his eyes.
"Ding! 50000 gold coins have been successfully deducted. The second strength point has been successfully purchased! "
"Do you wish to use this strength point now?" the system's voice sounded.
"Alright! No, wait a minute … "
"Ding! The strength point has been successfully activated! "
"What did you say?"
