Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant-Chapter 2420 - An Invitation For a Collaboration

Mag only saw Ferdinand again at the restaurant’s entrance after the dinner service.

The other party was very polite. At least, he didn’t disrupt the restaurant’s operation.

“Mr. Mag, I came from Underground City. Are you free to talk now?” Ferdinand got straight to the point.

“Please come in.” Mag didn’t look shocked either. He stepped to the side and let Ferdinand enter.

There was no alcohol, only the steam of a teapot was drifting between the two of them.

“Today’s dinner was delicious.” Ferdinand spoke first.

“Thank you.” Mag nodded slightly. This praise seemed to be friendly, so he no longer put on a solemn expression. Mag asked, “May I know what’s the purpose of your late night visit, Mr. Ferdinand?”

“First of all, I’d like to represent the Underground City Federation and apologize to you all regarding the Wind Forest’s matter. The military is now pursuing the murderer with all its might.

“Secondly, I would like to exchange the mech from you. Currently, we only have limited information. We’ll need to have more information in order to catch the perpetrator,” Ferdinand said politely.

Were all the Underground City Extraordinaires so humble? Mag was a little surprised. Ferdinand’s humble attitude almost made him feel that he was the one with the upper hand.

However, the other party’s power and background were far above his. It had been an unequal negotiation from the moment they sat at this table, but the other party was so courteous. He apologized immediately and was willing to make an exchange instead of ordering him to hand the mech over.

“Does he have something to ask from me?”?A gleam flashed across Mag’s eyes, but he still said with a calm expression, “You should apologize to the elves. I cannot accept your apology on behalf of the dead elven queen. However, as her son-in-law, I can’t accept your apology before the murderer is arrested.

“As for that piece of metal, you have to exchange it with the perpetrator’s head.”

Ferdinand said to Mag, “I can understand Mr. Mag’s stance. We already have some clues about the perpetrator that crossed over the borders, but the other party has a complicated network of power. I’m afraid that the military has also been infiltrated. If you want revenge, perhaps we can work together.”

“Work together?” Mag frowned.

“According to our current intel, the controller behind the mech might be an organization called ‘Immortel’. This organization is intricately connected to many plutocrats and is very powerful.

“You want to seek vengeance while I wish to eradicate this organization, so we have the same objective,” Ferdinand explained.

“Given your power and influence, why are you choosing me?” Mag looked into Ferdinand’s eyes. He wasn’t so narcissistic to think that he was irreplaceable. Underground City even had an Almost-Extraordinaire mech and the other party was a real Extraordinaire.

“I need a helper who is powerful yet unknown to Underground City, while you need a helper who can provide you with convenience in Underground City. I think we can cooperate well,” Ferdinand said frankly.

“However, I still know nothing about you and our so-called common enemy up till now.” Mag took a sip of the tea. “Having an equal amount of information is the premise for a collaboration.”

Ferdinand looked at Mag with an increasingly appreciative gaze. This young man had a very strong power that didn’t match his age. At the same time, he also had a prudence and wisdom that far exceeded his peers.

“I am Ferdinand, the First Marshal of the Underground City Federation’s Military.

“‘Immortel’ is a mysterious organization that has existed for over 10,000 years. They believe in eternal life. We know very little about them.

“They should have some Extraordinaires within their ranks and they had a shady relationship with a few plutocrats. They have infiltrated into all areas of Underground City, even the military has their traces.

“They have control of the Underground City’s best technology. Their mech’s technology is even a generation ahead of the military.

“The military’s actions against ‘Immortel’ have been leaked in advance repeatedly, so we can deduce that the military is already highly infiltrated by them. Hence, I need to find a helper from some other place,” Ferdinand said.

Mag had instinctively sat up straight. He was interested in this topic.

He could sense a lot of hidden information in the other party’s simple words.

The party sitting across from him was the Underground City’s Marshal. He really was at the pinnacle of Underground City’s political power.

It was close to his previous deduction. In the Underground World, the plutocrats had a lot of power. They could even influence the military.

The ‘Immortel’ that intruded into the Norland Continent to kill and plunder was very powerful. It was so powerful that even the Extraordinaire marshal couldn’t eradicate it and had to personally come to seek external help.

“An Extraordinaire like you is already beyond me,” Mag said honestly.

Killing an enemy above one’s tier wasn’t as easy as one said.

A real god hadn’t appeared on the Norland Continent for thousands of years, so that could already explain the problem.

“You don’t have to deal with the other party’s Extraordinaires directly. I will arrange an identity for you. You just need to investigate some things for me. With your current power, it’s more than adequate,” Ferdinand said.

“What can I gain from this?”

“After I eradicate ‘Immortel’, I will hand the mech’s controller over to you. Furthermore, I will provide you with an identity that allows you to enter Underground City. Over there, you may get in touch with a real Extraordinaire,” Ferdinand answered. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Mag had to admit that he was tempted.

He didn’t have much feelings for the elven queen, but she was still Irina’s mother. He should avenge her mother’s death for her.

Ferdinand could also provide him with a proper identity to enter Underground City. It was naturally better than smuggling.

He wanted to see for himself if the air in Underground City was indeed fresher and sweeter. Could he really become a god if he stayed there?

Mag tried to control his emotions as he said to Ferdinand, “I need a set of detailed information about Underground City and the part of your plan that you need me to execute. I will give you a reply within three days.”

“Alright. I will get Xi to hand them over to you later.” Ferdinand nodded. “But, Mr. Mag will have to keep this information confidential, otherwise, the law enforcers’ workload will increase tremendously.”

Mag could sense that this was a threat.

“Don’t worry. I know the rules.” Mag nodded.

A smile reappeared on Ferdinand’s face again. He took a sip of the tea on the table before saying to Mag, “We are done with business. I wonder if I may get Boss Mag to roast a helping of mutton kebabs and a helping of beef kebabs? I would like to take them away.”

Mag stared at Ferdinand quietly for a moment before asking, “How is Vicki related to you?”

“She’s my granddaughter,” Ferdinand smilingly answered.

“You are not a good guy in her story.” Mag had a weird expression.

“Children are always a little naughty.” Ferdinand smiled nonchalantly before he gratefully said, “I forgot to thank you for saving her life.”

“I have already received my compensation, so you don’t have to thank me anymore,” Mag calmly replied, but he couldn’t help criticizing this sly old fox inwardly. He only mentioned this matter after the negotiation, so that Mag couldn’t take any advantage of it.
