Chapter 1460: Bro, Can You Just Squeeze In A Bit To Give Me Some Space, Please
Mag and the ladies left the banquet early, and went back to the restaurant. Irina happened to return at the same time too.
Because they didn’t have the chance to eat much at the banquet, they decided to set up a table to have hot pot, crayfish, kebabs, and spicy grilled fish with ice-cold beer. This was the official start of their banquet.
“Compared to the high-class banquet where everyone was on their best behavior, I still prefer to eat Boss’ food in the restaurant and joke around with all of you.” Yabemiya chuckled, and bit into a piece of beef.
“I also think Father’s dishes are the most delicious food in this world.” Amy nodded as she grabbed a crayfish.
“Did anything interesting happen at the banquet?” Irina smilingly asked after drinking a sip of the beer.
“That Miss Gloria who frequents our restaurant was awesome at the banquet today…” Firis described the voting incident on the banquet to Irina with excited facial expression.
The sumptuous supper concluded in the midst of their sated burping.
“Have an early night, Boss. We’ve decided to form a team and go have fun at the north of the city before going back to sleep.” Yabemiya waved at Mag before the bevy of maidens left together happily, humming a tune as they left.
“I wonder what the Gentlemen’s League would bring to the north of the city tonight?” Mag closed the restaurant’s door with a smile. He had something on tonight, so he wouldn’t be joining the Gentlemen’s League’s first team-building exercise.
“Oh, dear. Ugly Duckling, I think I’m going to get as fat as you.” Amy patted her slightly round tummy, and looked at Ugly Duckling melancholically.
“Meow~” Ugly Duckling called out to her, but its eyes were focused on half of the crayfish that it couldn’t bear to finish on its plate.
“You should stop eating too, otherwise you will get too fat.” Amy crouched down, and took away the remaining half of the crayfish on its plate.
“Meow?” Ugly Duckling stared at Amy with befuddlement. It had only eaten half of the crayfish…
“I don’t care. You will run 10 laps around the restaurant right now.” Amy pointed to the side.
“Meow, meow?” Ugly Duckling backed off. Wasn’t this too much?
“You don’t have to feel too much. Only what I feel matters. Just listen to me, this issue doesn’t need any discussion. You have to run 10 laps around the restaurant. Listen to me, it’s my call,” Amy said gravely.
ლ(⊙-⊙ლ?)
“Meow, meow, meow???”
Ugly Duckling had a befuddled expression.
“Alright, you can start now. Remember to run for my share too,” Amy ordered, sitting on the stool.
Although it was a little unwilling, Ugly Duckling still ran around the restaurant melancholically under Amy’s gaze.
“If it continues to run at this speed, I am going to sleep.” Irina came to Amy and watched Ugly Duckling move slowly. She pointed at it, and a furry green ball appeared behind it. The ball started to roll after Ugly Duckling quickly.
“Meow~”
Ugly Duckling bristled instantaneously, and began to run laps around the restaurant crazily in the form of a shadow. It completed 10 laps in the blink of an eye and leaped into Amy’s arms. It poked its head out of her down jacket to appraise its surroundings carefully.
“Ugly Duckling, look at you. You are just plain lazy. You can, in fact, run very fast,” Amy said disdainfully before carrying it upstairs.
While the two little ones were washing up in the bathroom, Mag asked Irina, “How’s the arrangement at the Night Elves?”
“The new dormitories are already built according to the model that you built for them earlier. However, they’re all made of wood. Although they don’t look big on the outside, they’re actually quite spacious. All the Night Elves could move in.” Irina nodded. “I’ve spent 100,000,000 to buy a piece of land from the city lord’s castle so we could build houses or factories on it. I also bought a piece of land outside the city so we could plant our own food.”
“You are indeed very generous.” Mag smiled. But since the problems of accommodation and land were settled, the Night Elves could be considered as settled in Chaos City.
The textile factory had already begun its operation. As its output increased, the factory’s revenue would also increase rapidly. As long as a steady flow was formed, the basic living needs of these 20,000 elves would be secured.
However, the Night Elves included 20,000 elves right now, and the textile factory didn’t need so much manpower. Hence, the other corresponding factories should be ready to start the production and go online to make effective use of this labor force. They could also provide them with wages and make them feel blissful.
“Is the city lord’s castle willing to give them the legal status as Chaos City’s residents?” Mag asked.
“The city lord’s castle’s only prerequisite is that they should have a stable job before applying for the residents’ legal status.” Irina nodded.
“City Lord Michael’s prerequisite is indeed very preferential.” Mag could understand Michael. By suddenly letting 20,000 Night Elves into Chaos City, not only would he have to withstand the pressure from the Wind Forest, he also had to consider the feelings of the Chaos City’s residents and the unstable factors that 20,000 elves could bring along after they entered the city.
Having a stable job meant the elves who had just moved in had the ability to survive in Chaos City. The factors related to unforeseen accidents would also be reduced to a minimum.
“But, it’s not going to be easy to find 20,000 jobs for them. We cannot be asking them to go look for a job on the streets by themselves, right?” Irina frowned.
“Leave the jobs’ issue to me. Don’t let them take the jobs from the people of Chaos City, as this may cause new conflicts and dislike from the ordinary residents.” Mag shook his head with a smile.
Irina looked at Mag and pondered. Then, she smiled, and said, “Alright, I’ll leave that to you.”
After bathing, Amy tilted her head back as she leaned in Mag’s arms while getting her hair blown dry, and expectantly asked, “Father, aren’t we going to beat up the baddies tonight? Can I go put on my black clothes and go beat up the baddies, please?”
“We’re not going tonight. We will go tomorrow night.” Mag shook his head with a smile as he dried Amy’s and Anna’s hair, and told the two little ones a bedtime story. After the two little ones were asleep, he went to the study, and began drawing blueprints.
Although the factories’ plan had basically taken shape in his mind, a detailed plan was still needed for them to materialize, and details were very important.
***
At the north of Chaos City.
“Don’t be afraid, little girl. We’re really gentlemen. We just want to send you home because we think it’s very dangerous for you to be out on the streets alone.” Seven, eight middle-aged men tried to speak as gently as they could while they surrounded a trembling girl.
“I-I simply came out to buy something…” The girl’s voice was quivering. However, she slowly relaxed as she realized these men were only surrounding her, but not approaching her in any way. She returned to her home, surrounded by a big group of people.
“Hey, bro. Give me some space, please.”
“Bro, you’re already climbing onto me. There are plenty of walls over there, why do you have to come over here?”
“Bro, there are already two layers of people on the walls over there. There are too many gentlemen, so I’m a little afraid. Can you just squeeze in a bit to give me some space, please?”
