"Is this the Chaos City? It truly is the only city on the Nolan Continent that can rival Luo Du. Moreover, all sorts of races come and go. It's quite an interesting city." In a magnificent deer-drawn carriage made of emerald green branches, a slender hand lifted the curtain. Bluer looked at the flow of people coming and going at the city gate, a smile appearing on his handsome face.
The carriage was spacious, pulled by two large brown deer, more than a head taller than ordinary horses, with a pair of large black antlers on their heads, making them quite conspicuous in the long queue waiting to enter the city.
"That elf girl is really beautiful."
"Yes, she's really handsome. I've seen elves before, but I've never seen anyone so beautiful."
Passersby glanced at Bluer in the carriage, their eyes lighting up as they whispered among themselves.
"Bullshit! That's a man! What's wrong with your eyes, all of you!" A dwarf uncle next to them curled his lip, but when he turned his head, he muttered under his breath, "But he's really damn beautiful."
"Sigh, as expected, someone with my stunning good looks will attract attention no matter where I am. It's really a nuisance." Bluer lowered the carriage curtain, sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and looked helpless.
"The eldest daughter of the Brewster family is working as a waitress in a small restaurant? If word gets back, I wonder if those old fogies still waiting for her to replace Princess Irina will be scared out of their wits." Bluer muttered to himself, the carriage slowly moving forward. He yawned, shook his head, and said, "Never mind, I need to get two days of beauty sleep once I get there. Nothing can interfere with restoring my looks..."
...
"City Lord, a rough count has been made of the cases concerning Woodrow's oppression of civilians, embezzlement of compensation and relief funds, and condoning of his nephew Valcke's insults and oppression of the families of the deceased miners: at least 50 civilians have been oppressed to death, including more than 35 women and more than 5 children under the age of ten. Woodrow has embezzled more than 6 million copper coins in miners' compensation and relief funds, the crimes committed by the patrolling guards and the thugs kept by Valcke over the years are still being further counted, and the scope has spread outward from the miners' family area, and the number of victims is still increasing."
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, an official looked at Michael sitting behind his desk and said with a grave expression, his face revealing shock and anger.
"City Lord, the Temple Master has signed the documents. Apart from the members of the Gray Temple who need to perform their duties, the ten elders have assembled and will cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion to inspect the other Inspector's Mansions." Another official hurried in and reported.
"Have them set off now and investigate thoroughly! I want to see just how many guys like this exist in Chaos City, and how much filth has been happening right under our noses without our knowledge after this facade has been torn off." Michael clenched his fist, his voice low and menacing.
"Yes!" The official strode out, his pace quickening. A storm was brewing, and the Chaos City was about to be turned upside down.
"Continue investigating the Woodrow case. Although justice has been delayed, but we must show every civilian that we will never be absent. Have the finance department work through the night to audit and tally the compensation and pensions that have been withheld from the families of the deceased miners over the years, and compensate them at double the standard. At the same time, provide equal compensation to the civilians who were oppressed and killed by Valcke and Woodrow, and properly resettle them." Michael turned to the official from before and said.
"Okay." The official nodded and turned to walk quickly outside.
"If Mai Ge hadn't been there today and saved that mother and daughter, this kind of thing would have continued to happen there. The same thing might be happening everyday in many parts of Chaos City. Making the world a better place is indeed not so easy. Such problems have arisen in just one Chaos City? It seems that if we want to extend this to the entire Nolan Continent, we need to do much more." Michael got up and walked to the window, looking thoughtfully at a straight poplar tree outside.
"But speaking of which, I really do need to thank him for this. At least he gave the City Lord's Mansion a chance to remedy and resolve the problem before more people were harmed." Michael recalled the young man who had refused him at the restaurant entrance that day after hearing he was the City Lord, he was indeed an interesting person.
...
After Sally and Yabemia finished cleaning the restaurant, they said they needed to go back for a bit and left, promising to come to work on time before opening that evening.
As for overtime pay, Mai Ge didn't insist, he'd just give it to them at the end of the month when settling their salaries, since the money was already included in the cost of the City Lord's Mansion's private booking.
"System, update the menu. Add ice cream to the menu, priced at 200 copper coins per serving, with four flavors to choose from. Also, reorganize the menu items into categories: single items, main dishes, desserts, drinks... distinguish them according to their characteristics." Mai Ge pulled up a chair and sat down, speaking directly in his mind.
"I would like to remind the host once again that this system is a proper Chef God training system. Helping the host add new dishes to the menu is already a very considerate act. Reorganizing the menu is too much work and will not be carried out!" The system's serious voice rang out, with an unquestionable tone.
"Tsk tsk, tell me, how much do you want this time? 10 copper coins? 100 copper coins? Or are you planning to gouge out 1000 copper coins?" Mai Ge scoffed, a hint of a joke in his voice.
"Host, please don't humiliate me with money! Is this the kind of system I am? I'm telling you now: I don't want 1000 copper coins! Only 998! Only 998! Menu Section Change Package to take home!" The system's excited voice rang out, as if a surround sound system was roaring at Mai Ge.
"System, turn off your lousy speakers, they're making my ears go deaf." Mai Ge frowned. The system never disappointed him, it had no sense of integrity whatsoever.
"Host, this is my latest 5D surround sound system, with powerful surround sound from all directions, allowing the receiver to enjoy the best sound quality..." the system said somewhat unconvinced.
"Let me know about the Menu Section Change Package." Mai Ge calmly interrupted the system.
The system paused for a moment before continuing, "Host, please do not interrupt this system next time. It will cause me confusion in organizing my thoughts, and it is also a very disrespectful act."
"I said, do you still want to make this money or not?" Mai Ge frowned, a little impatient.
