Chapter 1182: What Do You Think About It, Mr. Mag?

“Princess Irina?” Mag was taken aback before he shook his head with a smile. “I don’t know her.”

“If it isn’t because of Princess Irina, then why is Mr. Mag so concerned about the Night Elves?” Scheer was still looking straight into Mag’s eyes.

“I wonder if Miss Scheer has any impressions of my service staff members Aisha, Shirley, and Firis?” Mag asked instead.

After some pondering, Scheer answered, “Is Mr. Mag talking about those three elven service staff members?”

“Yes.” Mag nodded. “Ever since Princess Irina declared the establishment of the Night Elves in Chaos City officially, they had left the restaurant to join the Night Elves.

“And because of this, I know more about the elf race and the Night Elves. As a boss who has worked with them before, I would like to offer them some assistance.”

“I didn’t expect those three elven ladies to join the Night Elves.” Scheer was surprised, and she began to look at Mag with an understanding gaze.

Mr. Mag was indeed a rather mysterious person, but judging from their recent interactions and other aspects, he was also a very benevolent person. Therefore, it wasn’t difficult to understand why he would want to help the Night Elves because of the three ex-employees.

“They were going to fight for the freedom of the elves. I don’t have the right to stop them.” Mag nodded.

“Fighting for freedom is indeed a very moving reason.” Scheer nodded slightly before gravely saying, “However, this is an internal strife and an attempt to overthrow the Wind Forest’s rule over the elves. If any external forces try to intervene, they would be deemed to be the enemy of the Wind Forest.

“Buffett Bank never participates in any political event. We operate on the entire Norland Continent and only focus on business. That’s why we could always maintain the stance of neutrality and continuous expansion.

“I sympathize with the Night Elves, but I’m afraid I cannot make any promises to Mr. Mag with regard to this matter.”

Mag held his gaze with Scheer for a few seconds before looking away. He disappointedly said, “Seems like I have put Miss Scheer in a difficult position.”

“I hope Mr. Mag can understand,” Scheer said apologetically.

“But if Buffett Bank doesn’t get involved in any political events, then why are you promoting the running of the steam engine locomotive so actively?” Mag raised his eyes to look at Scheer with a smile. “Buffett Bank has branches all over the Norland Continent, and with the convenient circulation of stable and reliable currency as the cornerstone, a huge financial empire was built. And all this was established under the premise of Norland Continent’s stability and order.

“Once a total war breaks out, or a local war expands and causes widespread chaos, the currency system will be the first to collapse. After Buffett Bank loses its cornerstone for stability, the financial empire naturally will collapse too.

“Thus, I believe that Buffett Bank should be the one that hopes that the circumstances on Norland Continent remain as they are the most. Am I correct, Miss Scheer?”

Scheer gazed at Mag. He was just an ordinary restaurant’s owner, but his vision and outlook had surpassed many who stood at the pinnacle of Chaos City. He saw through the predicament of Buffett Bank instantly.

Just like what Mag had said, even though Buffett Bank looked very prosperous, in fact, it was already standing on the brink of life and death.

The outcome of the peace negotiation of the eight species and one city one month later would decide the future of Norland Continent. At the same time, it would also decide if the Buffett Clan’s financial empire was going to continue to expand or simply collapse.

“Mr. Mag’s vision is indeed very unique. However, the Buffett Family has been in business for decades, we won’t be destroyed so easily,” Scheer continued calmly.

Moreton smiled at Scheer. “Without Buffett Bank, the Buffett Family could only compete with the Moretons and the Marquises in Chaos City. I don’t think that is what Miss Scheer is interested in. Even the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce is dispensable to Miss Scheer.”

This fellow... Scheer’s eyes narrowed as she felt her secrets were exposed. Her goal naturally wasn’t Chaos City. The territories carved out by her forebears were no longer attractive to her. Her goal was the vast world out there.

Unfortunately, she was born at the wrong time. This world was going to descend into chaos as soon as she took over the control of the Buffett Family.

But all these things were seen through by Mag so easily. Who was this man really?

The amazing culinary skills coupled with the era-defining inventions were enough to earn him the name of genius. The vision and outlook that he displayed made her even more curious.

Scheer agreed with Mag and decided to sincerely ask, “What do you think about it, Mr. Mag?”

She was curious about Mag’s motive behind saying all these things.

“I hate wars and a world in chaos. I don’t want Norland Continent to be plunged back into the chaos that it was in 100 years ago due to the racial war,” Mag said smilingly. “I am on the same side with Miss Scheer on this.”

“The outcome of the peace negotiation is already beyond our control. I am also not clear how many changes the steam train can bring to the situation.” Scheer shook with a hint of despair in her eyes.

This powerful and shrewd woman also had moments when she felt inadequate.

“I want to do as much as I can for this world which could be plunged into chaos. But, I need a strong ally to protect the innocents together with me.” Mag extended his right hand to Scheer.

Scheer looked at Mag’s outstretched hand, and then looked at Mag. She didn’t extend her hand as she gravely said, “Before we form an alliance, I need to be sure that you are an equally strong ally.”

“A very wise answer.” Mag retrieved his hand, and took out a map of the Norland Continent from his pocket. He laid it on the table and took out a pen.

“This is?” Scheer stood next to the table and looked at the map perplexedly. The map was a simplified diagram that only roughly marked the borders of the territories of every species.

“This is a simplified map of the Norland Continent. According to some books that I read in my free time for the past few years, I have sorted out the current situation of Norland Continent.” Mag took a pen and began to draw on the almost empty map.

“Currently, Norland Continent has a setup of eight species and one city. The giant dragons are the super strong species whose power is way above all the other species. The dwarves are the weakest and a neutral species. Chaos City is the most special. It is the product of the peace treaty signed after the previous racial war. After a 100 years development, its power is ranked at number seven, which is above the dwarves and goblins.”
