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

Chapter 1183: We Will Make This World Chaotic First

“Now, the giant dragons already consider themselves above worldly matters. Apart from a few evil dragons who commit some crimes, most of them don’t get involved in the other species’ disputes.

“The human Roth Empire’s power has already surpassed all the other species secretly, and they have already formed an alliance with the demons. They also had a war-time alliance with the elves. The alliance of these three species would be able to exterminate the other species easily. Hence, they are the biggest uncertain factor in the peace negotiation. Once war breaks out, the strong power of humans and demons will enable them to gain even more interests in the war.

“The forest trolls and the orcs have formed an alliance too. These two tribes are considered relatively strong among the species. They have many powerhouses and adequate middle-tier combat power. They would be able to protect themselves during the war, and could gain interests by invading the weaker species.

“The dwarves have always been neutral. They are mostly craftsmen, and there are very few powerhouses in their tribe, but due to their exceptional skills and advanced weaponry, Issen Castle has become the hardest to breach castle.

“The goblins’ power is the weakest, yet they have the richest mineral resources available. Even though they have many underground caverns, they don’t have much power to defend themselves if they are to face a massive invasion.

“Chaos City should’ve formed an alliance with the goblins, right? Although an alliance of the weak is a resigned move, at least we could have a little power to defend ourselves,” Mag said.

Scheer nodded. However, all these things were common knowledge, and anybody who understood the continent’s situation could talk about it for an entire afternoon. If Mag’s level was only this much, she could end the conversation now.

“Miss Scheer must have heard about all this before, so there’s no need to elaborate on it.” Mag seemed to guess what Scheer was thinking. With a smile, he said, “But, what I am going to talk about today isn’t the continent’s situation, but how to resolve it.”

“Resolve it?” Scheer cocked her eyebrow, and asked, “Does Mr. Mag have a solution?”

Smiling, Mag replied, “The humans and demons who are getting stronger began to have an inflated ego, and they have already formed a villains alliance that could rival the giant dragons. They want to conquer Norland Continent, gain more territories, and squash the other species under their feet. These are the reasons behind the current intense situation.

“The goblins and dwarves are simply forced to form an alliance, and they are already too late to form an alliance with powerful tribes. They will be sacrificed the moment war breaks out.

“Even though the alliances between the species are all interlinked, their relationships aren’t that simple and harmonious. The hatred left behind by the racial war that lasted hundreds of years couldn’t be dissipated totally within 100 years of peace.

“Therefore, if we could utilize a strategy of dissolving the alliances of the strong and strengthening the alliances of the weak, we could return the situation of the continent back to a new equilibrium even when the peace treaty can’t be extended.”

“Dissolving the alliances of the strong and strengthening the alliances of the weak…” Scheer murmured softly with brightening eyes. As a business person, she seldom thought about problems from the different species’ viewpoints. No matter how powerful Buffett Bank was, it was still just a bank, and could never sway the decision of a whole species.

Even the steam engine locomotive was to demonstrate to all the different species that the power of technology could be merged with the Norland Continent, and influence their decisions through that.

However, in Mag’s words, the species were merely pawns, and the Norland Continent was the chessboard. This level of vision and outlook seemed to have opened the door to a whole new world to her.

Her gaze changed when she looked at Mag again. He seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mystery that others couldn’t see through.

However, Mag’s words were still rather vague. The interactions of the species were filled with calculations and schemes. If they could be swayed to form and dissolve alliances easily, the situation wouldn’t have become so intense now.

“I would appreciate further details,” Scheer said.

“First, we have to dissolve the alliance between the Roth Empire and the demons. The demons had almost annihilated the entire elven species when they invaded the Wind Forest. Their enmity and conflicts could never be resolved. We would use the alliance between the Roth Empire and the elves to dissolve the alliance of the villains by intensifying their conflicts. Then, we would have disintegrated the indirect alliance of three species and formed an internal restraint.

“The alliance between the orcs and the forest trolls is relatively weaker, so we could allow them to maintain it to restrain the Roth Empire.

“The alliance of Chaos City and the goblins should include the dwarves. With the goblins’ mineral resources combined with the dwarves’ exceptional skills, as well as with Chaos City’s railroad and steam trains, we could accelerate social evolution. The alliance of the weak could still give us the power to defend ourselves,” Mag said.

Scheer was deep in thought. According to what Mag said, the situation on the Norland Continent could be controlled, or at least no species would dare to declare a total war. Was this supposed to be the so-called dissolving the alliances of the strong and strengthening the alliances of the weak?

“So, is Miss Scheer willing to be my ally now?” Mag said with a smile.

“Mr. Mag could be an excellent politician if you didn’t want to be a chef or an inventor.” Scheer extended her hand to Mag with a smile, and said, “I hope to hear more about your detailed plan. The Buffett Family will do all we can to maintain the peace in this world.”

“I’m afraid this is not a mission that could be accomplished by me and Buffett Family alone. But, given your current relationship with the city lord’s castle, we still have a chance to change this world with the power of Chaos City.” Mag grasped Scheer’s hand with a smile. “Now, we will make this world chaotic first.”

…

It was already close to noon when Mag departed from Buffett Bank. Scheer got her assistant to send Mag back to the restaurant.

“Thank you very much,” Mag said to that assistant smilingly and alighted. He watched the carriage go far before entering the restaurant.

As an ardent military fan, Mag had come up with a detailed plan to subvert all the species with the knowledge that he obtained from reading history books and war manuals since he was a young boy. He spent a few months drawing up the plan based on the wisdom and experience of those who came before him.

Mag was just a chef who owned a restaurant. In order to make sure his customers could have their meals in peace, he had to do something for this world’s peace.

War of the species couldn’t be stopped by the power of one person.

Even if he returned to Alex’s peak power, one man’s power was still miniscule in front of an entire species.

Amy, who was putting her head on the counter, slid off her chair with bright eyes and ran into Mag’s arms as she expectantly said, “Father! You are finally back. We’re starving. What are we eating for lunch today?”

Miya and the gang had arrived too, and they were all looking at Mag with anticipation. They didn’t feel quite right after not eating the food made by the boss for two days.

“We are going to have Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers for lunch today,” Mag told Amy and the ladies with a smile. They were also the reason why he was doing that.

…

Scheer stood by the window alone for an hour, and when she turned around, her gaze was clear and determined. She took the map on the table and coldly ordered, “Let’s go to the city lord’s castle.”
