A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1445: Can I Attend With My Helmet On?

Mag walked out of the mercenary union, and hugged the certificate a little tighter as he pushed his bicycle with a smile.

The process went very smoothly. When Mag left, the Gentlemen’s League commission was already on top of the board of commissions, done manually, and that caused quite a commotion at the missions area.

Mag didn’t know what kind of impact his actions this morning would bring to Chaos City. However, as a part of this city, he had done whatever he could.

He had made the Gentlemen’s League fund’s income public, so anyone who wanted to support this initiative could also add to the fund.

What was the most critical was the number of people who would answer his call and join the Gentlemen’s League.

Judging from the commotion just now, there should be some people who would do something.

“The Gentlemen’s League…” Michael paced up and down the meeting room with his brows tightly knitted together.

Smiling, an official from the city lord’s castle said, “Mr. Mag is really interesting. He actually thought of releasing a mercenary mission as a way to protect the residents in Chaos City.”

“Interesting?” Michael looked at that official with a grave expression, and said, “I don’t think this is funny. It’s a wake-up call. The law and order that we pride ourselves on are unable to protect the people at the lower level, and a citizen has to release a mission as a way to uphold the security. Tell me, doesn’t that mean that we’ve done our job poorly?”

The officer quickly stopped smiling, and sat upright with his head hung low.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense and still. All the officers became very serious.

“Sir, we have limited manpower at the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple. We’ve already done our best at patrolling and sentry duties, but we still cannot cover every area. The bad people would always be able to find loopholes and blind spots. That’s where we fail at our duties. But I’m afraid it’s difficult to solve this problem in a short time,” an official answered.

Michael nodded, and said, “I am aware of this too. We’ve already done all that we could for patrolling and sentry duties, but we are seriously shorthanded. Start recruitment quickly to fill in the turnover for the patrollers. We need to ensure that we can cover the entire area.”

“Sir, then about the Gentlemen’s League, should we intercept it? This might actually clash with the law and order of Chaos City,” an official raised his concern.

“This is about protecting our residents and punishing the perpetrators. Why should we intercept it? Don’t you think we should support and encourage people to join this initiative?” Michael shook his head. He smiled. “If the citizens could join in to curb crime and violence, we would not have to fret over manpower shortage.”

“Did you hear? A Gentlemen’s League appeared in the mercenary union today. If you join the league to stop and punish evildoers in order to protect the people, you will be able to receive a reward.”

“I saw it at the union this morning. It’s not just the reward, there’s even a gentleman point system. Apparently, there’s a board of gentlemen, and doing missions would give you mission points, which is how you can leave your name on the board of gentlemen.”

“I didn’t think that there would be so many scumbags around. That’s got my blood boiling. I will guard the northern part of the city tonight. If I were to meet any of these scumbags, you bet I would knock all his teeth out. I don’t want the reward. Instead, I’m going to add another 100,000 copper coins into the fund so more people will join in.”

“Bro, count me in.”

“Bring me along, I want to beat those scumbags up too.”

At the entrance of Mamy Restaurant in the afternoon, the sweet gang and the savory gang made peace momentarily as they came together to discuss the rapidly spreading news of the Gentlemen’s League.

After the mission was released, it was pushed to the top by the mercenary union. Therefore, the mercenaries who went to the union today all knew about it, and it soon spread among the mercenaries.

Chaos City’s law and order were completely different from those in any other place in this world, but people would rarely take note of the lives of the people living in the slums in the northern part of the city and what problems they faced.

Most people actually didn’t know that there was a group of people in this city living in poverty, without their dignity, and still having to face all sorts of danger and suffering.

Therefore, when all these realizations were presented to them, it dealt them a huge shock, and made them furious.

“The customers outside were all very worked up. I think they are talking about some Gentlemen’s League. I heard that someone released a mission at the mercenary union to reward those who punish evildoers.” Miya came in from outside, and agitatedly said, “This is a very good thing. If everyone is willing to participate, those evildoers will become pests of the city, and they won’t dare to continue staying in Chaos City.”

“Yeah. I think that’s pretty good. You can earn money by beating baddies up. That would definitely make you feel good,” Babla concurred.

“I wonder who came up with this good idea?” Rena was a little excited. As someone who grew up in the slums, she knew what kind of fear the night meant for them. However, if everyone was willing to help, things would definitely be different.

“Ahem, it’s yours sincerely,” Mag, who stood at the kitchen door, said a little proudly after clearing his throat softly.

Everyone looked at Mag.

“Boss, were you really the one?” Miya looked at Mag in shock.

“Yes. Last night, on my way back, Little Amy, Connie, and I met a young girl who was almost hurt. And such incidents often happen in the darkness in the northern part of the city. Since the city lord’s castle and the Gray Temple cannot solve this problem at the moment, I thought of doing a little something.” Mag nodded. He looked at everyone with a smile, and said, “Of course, I’ve discussed it with Irina last night, and we thought we could take this as a form of training before we go to the orcs. We can use this to work on our team chemistry.”

Boss is really a nice person, Rena thought to herself. It’s really good news for girls living in the slums.

“If that’s the case, there’s not enough to go around…” Connie muttered. Although the northern part of the city was a very large piece of land, and she could not cover the entire place on her own, she somehow felt as though a slice of her cake was being shared.

“Oh, right, we are invited to attend the Chamber of Commerce’s gala dinner tonight, so we will be closed for the night. Is everyone willing to go?” Mag asked.

“Me, I’ll go alone.” Camilla raised her hand. She was not willing to attend the gala as a part of the restaurant. Otherwise, she would not be able to hold her head up high anymore, and she would probably be worse off than her Uncle Dracula back then.

Connie raised her hand, and asked, “Can… Can I attend with my helmet on?”

She was a little excited. It was her first time attending any interesting event since she came to Chaos City.

“You can if you’re okay with it.” Mag nodded.
