Chapter 1444: Gentlemen’s League
Mag looked at the two young inspectors from the Gray Temple. They were not aggressive. He then took a look at the customers who had started to form a line outside. Since it was not very convenient to let others find out about Connie, he turned to the side, and said, “Please, come in and talk.”
“Okay.” The two inspectors nodded, and entered the restaurant.
Mag closed the door behind him. He looked at the young inspectors, and hesitated to speak.
“Mr. Mag, we’ve already gotten a rough grasp on the situation. The orc who was murdered yesterday was a convict that we had been after. He had claimed seven lives, and last night he was stopped and murdered while sexually assaulting a young lady. The person who did it was an employee from your restaurant, and you were also at the scene last night, is that right?” the inspector who had spoken previously began.
Mag raised his brow. That sounded as though that fellow deserved it, and they were just getting rid of a vermin. Mag smiled and nodded. “Yes. The three of us were in the northern part of the city to celebrate the birthday of my daughter’s friend. On our way back, we heard cries for help, so we rushed over to the scene. My employee had no choice but to kill him in order to ensure the safety of the young lady, because he was too aggressive.”
“I thank you for stepping out bravely to protect the citizens of Chaos City. There have been many cases of perpetrators of sexual assault being stopped in the northern part of the city recently. I assume your employee is related to these cases. Can we meet her for a while? We are about to begin choosing this year’s top 10 citizens. We were thinking of applying for a spot for her,” that inspector continued.
Mag raised his brow, and said with a sigh, “She is a very meek lady, and is afraid of attention. I don’t think it’s suitable for her to appear among the top 10 citizens. She isn’t even willing to face people with her true self. If you think what she did wasn’t wrong, let her continue doing it.”
“But…”
“She has a little problem up here.” Mag pointed to his head, and lamented, “She’s such a great young lady. She should have a beautiful youth, but if she suddenly received too much attention, I’m afraid it would worsen her condition, or even…”
The two inspectors exchanged glances, and hesitated for a while before one of them said, “Alright, since that is the case, we will not force you. Please help us convey our gratitude. If you need any help, do inform the Gray Temple immediately.”
“Sure. This way, please.” Mag nodded, and sent the two inspectors off.
“Father, what’s wrong with Big Sister Connie’s head?” Amy, who had been watching by the side, asked curiously.
“Dementia that came too early,” Mag said with a sigh. However, he could not hold back his laughter.
Although Mag had expected the issue with the Gray Temple would be resolved smoothly, it still showed that the Gray Temple was agreeable with citizens taking it into their hands to stop violence.
After the morning operating hours, Mag brought a letter of commission to the mercenary union.
He walked straight into the union building, and arrived at the mission area.
The staff behind the counter was busy, and there were many people filling in mission forms.
Mag followed the line, and arrived in front of the counter. The staff member passed him a form without even looking up, and said, “Hello, sir, please fill in this mission form and choose the type of mission you want, the specific requirements, mission date and time, as well as the specific reward you want.”
“Alright.” Mag took a pen, sat down in front of the counter, and started to fill in the form.
After around five minutes, Mag passed the form over, and said, “I’m done. Please take a look and see if there’s anything else I need to add.”
The young staff member glanced at Mag’s form, and her eyes lit up. It was the first time in her three years working here that she saw such beautiful handwriting.
However, after taking a close look, she let out a soft gasp and looked up at Mag.
“Is anything the problem?” Mag asked with a smile.
“No… are you sure this is what you want to commission?” that staff member asked. She sounded a little awkward. It was the first time she saw someone commission something like that.
“Yes. I want to start a Gentlemen’s League. I want to commission all the rich and chivalric mercenaries and residents to protect those who need to be protected, to do their best to eliminate all the ruffians who make use of the darkness of the night to harm the weak. I am willing to pay this amount as the reward.” Mag nodded with a smile. “Is this against the regulations?”
Upon hearing Mag’s words, many people who were filling in forms at the side looked up in shock at him. That was an unexpected commission.
“This is the first time I’ve come across such a commission. Please hold on for a while. I’ll have to ask my manager.” That staff member was a little uncertain, so she quickly informed Mag and left.
A while later, the staff member came back with a tall and skinny middle-aged man.
“Boss Mag, I didn’t think it would really be you.” That tall and skinny man smiled immediately when he saw Mag.
“I didn’t think you were from the mercenary union.” Mag also smiled at the middle-aged man, Cartera, who could be considered one of the restaurant’s regulars. He would dine in the restaurant every other day, and his favorite dishes were the beggar’s chicken and the beef kebab.
“I heard that you want to set up a Gentlemen’s League to help eliminate assaulters?” Cartera asked Mag.
“Yes. I met one who was trying to sexually assault a young lady yesterday. Such a thing happening in Chaos City really shocked me. I hope Chaos City could become better. I want the city to be safe, even if the sunlight could not shine into the night, even if it was in the slums, even if it’s amongst the lower-class and ordinary people. I hope that everyone can be respected and protected.” Mag nodded seriously.
Cartera’s smile faded away, and his expression became serious as well.
“Isn’t it great that a man could think this way?” The female staff member standing at the side was looking at Mag in a completely different light. She had already unconsciously started to admire him.
At the same time, the people who were filling in the forms at the side slowly put their pens down and looked at Mag thoughtfully.
“Of course, I am willing to fork out this amount as the reward. I just require the members of the Gentlemen’s League to capture the video of the process of punishing the bad guy and obtain the Gray Temple’s acknowledgement of the event and the bad guy’s identity. According to the severity of the matter, I have set up 10 tiers of rewards, and the individual will be rewarded accordingly. In addition, he would also receive a corresponding status on the Board of Gentlemen. Today, I am going to put in 5,000,000 copper coins as the initial reward pool for the Gentlemen’s League,” Mag said with a smile.
