Chapter 433 A Rental Fee of One Copper Coin

Everyone then turned to Mag in unison.

“My apologies, but the restaurant will be operating as usual tomorrow, so reservation services will be unavailable.” Mag rejected everyone with a smile before anyone could even ask.

“Money is not a problem. Serving us will surely be a lot easier than serving all of the customers that you get throughout the day. We’ll reserve the restaurant for an entire day tomorrow; let’s leave it at that for now.” Jinx was determined to reserve the restaurant.

“My apologies, but the restaurant doesn’t offer reservation services during its normal days of operation. This is a rule of the restaurant, and also a promise that I have made to my customers. If you’d still like to dine at the restaurant, then please come during our business hours tomorrow.” Mag declined firmly, yet still in a polite manner. He then looked at the clock on the wall, and said, “Also, the restaurant is about to close for the day soon. If you’d like to order more food, then please do so before 9pm.”

“Huh?”

Everyone’s expression became a little strained as they looked at Mag. Not only had he rejected their proposal to reserve the restaurant, he was even preparing to kick them out soon!

“Let me get another Yangzhou fried rice and savory tofu pudding.” Dracula looked at the clock on the wall, only to find that it was already 8:40pm.

“I’ll get another spicy grilled fish. Make it a super spicy one this time. The insanely spicy grilled fish was a bit too much… Burp!”

Everyone burped as they ordered more dishes. They were already full, but passing up the opportunity to have more of this delicious food would be like inflicting torture upon oneself.

“Alright, please wait a moment.” Mag nodded with a smile as he re-entered the kitchen. He took a glance at the six representatives, and his smile widened as he thought to himself, Looks like we’ll be getting a definitive result soon.

“Burp… I say we just end this conference right here. We won’t ask for compensation anymore, but we’re not going to apologize, either. We’ll get all of our troops to vacate the island, and no one will have any ownership rights over it. We’ll just release a statement that our armies fought each other to a stalemate and no victor emerged, so both sides decided to retreat, and that’ll be the end of the matter.” Dracula burped as he looked at the three giant dragons, and said, “We can all have some fun in Chaos City in the next few days. It’s not often that we get to come here, and I don’t want to have to spend any more time looking at your ugly mugs. I’d much rather go look at the pretty little girls on the streets, and come and dine at Mamy Restaurant. That’s the kind of life I want to live.”

Fox struggled to his feet and adopted a serious expression. “How can you treat such an important conference in such a farcical manner?! The giant dragons have always dominated this battle, so what’s this nonsense about a stalemate? I firmly disagree with=”

“I agree! Let’s sign the relevant documents tomorrow! I have some urgent matters that I have to attend to, so I need to go back soon. I fully approve of Dracula’s proposal.” Havid raised his hand and cut off Fox’s words of objection.

“If we can’t continue the conference in Mamy Restaurant, then we wouldn’t be able to eat their delicious roujiamo. That is a true tragedy. As such, I also approve of Dracula’s proposal. Let’s just end the conference here, and all of our warriors can go back for a well-deserved rest.” Jinx raised his hand, and turned to Fox—who wore a thunderous expression on his face—as he said, “Fox, we’ve decided before coming here that in the case of an internal disagreement, we’d settle this with a vote. The vote stands at two to one, so it’s decided.”

“You!! You’re responsible for our dragon race! I’m going to reveal all of this to everyone; you two will have a lot of explaining to do once we get back!” Fox was absolutely furious, and his hands trembled as he glowered at Havid and Jinx.

“Fox, you may have a big mouth, but don’t forget that we have two mouths on our side. Do you think everyone will believe you or choose to trust the two of us? I know what you’re thinking—the Frost Dragons have indeed contributed a lot to this ongoing battle, but the best course of action for the entire dragon race is to put a stop to this battle as soon as possible.” Havid looked at Fox with a firm expression.

Fox looked deeply into Havid and Jinx’s eyes, and even though he was still unwilling to accept this result, he had no choice but to concede.

As expected of Mr. Mag. If he wasn’t running this brilliant restaurant, I would hire him as my chief advisor no matter how much money it would cost me to do so. A smile appeared on Michael’s face as he leaned back into his chair. This was the fastest and most efficient conference that he had ever hosted; his job would be made a lot simpler if all future conferences could follow this example.

The two recording officials from the city lord’s castle had only just brought out their pens and paper, but the conference was already over.

Dicus had also been present throughout the course of the conference, and he wore a stunned expression on his face. He then turned to Mag with a look of admiration in his eyes.

Theoretically, the city lord was the one who was hosting the conference, but the one who had been controlling the rhythm and direction of the entire conference was actually Mag.

The city lord had accepted all of Mag’s conditions, including his proposal to postpone the conference to a later time, and Dicus had been quite skeptical of that decision. However, the city lord had achieved everything that he had set out to achieve by accepting those conditions, and the conference had concluded in record time.

Both sides were clearly well-prepared, so as soon as they entered the actual negotiation phase, everything progressed relatively smoothly. An agreement had basically been established, and there were only a few minor details that had to be ironed out before the relevant documents could be signed the next day.

“Before coming here, I was told that the conference would be a really difficult and long-winded process. Things progressed a lot smoother than I expected.” Dracula adjusted his clothes with a cheerful expression.

“My thoughts exactly. You demons aren’t as bad as I thought. We’re most likely going to have to fight again in the future, but I really enjoyed dining with you guys today.” Jinx nodded in agreement, and everyone burst into laughter upon hearing that.

After the final round of dishes were brought out and consumed, everyone departed from the restaurant. Fox had finally recovered somewhat, and he walked out the door with a slightly unnatural gait. As he left, he narrowed his eyes with a sinister expression, and murmured to himself, “Just you wait! I’m going to repay you tenfold for all of the humiliation you’ve inflicted upon me!”

“Mr. Mag, thank you for significantly speeding up the conference today.” Michael looked at Mag, and extended his hand with a smile as he said, “I had a look at the plot of land in front of the restaurant. Even if you set up a few tables and chairs out there, it won’t have any negative impact on the Aden Square. As such, you are free to set up your outdoor dining area, and the rent will be one copper coin. The relevant documents will be delivered to you tomorrow.”
