Volume 3 Chapter 76 - Great hidden danger (1/2)

“Actually there is a great hidden danger in Banta City.” Xu Yi said to Seveni with a serious look, “If it’s not taken care of, there will be many problems that occur.”

Seveni had been in Banta City for over a month now and because she was new or perhaps because there was nothing that happened, she hadn’t done anything during this month. She had stayed in the City Lord Manor to take care of a few basic things, causing the people who were waiting for her to take some major action after taking over to be disappointed.

Her leaving the City Lord Manor and coming to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s fertilizer factory at Sandton Manor were Seveni’s biggest actions since taking over. The «Banta Times» that received the news immediately sent a reporter over.

The three reporters sent by the «Banta Times» were surprised and pleased to find that her highness Seveni treated them very warmly, even allowing them to follow her, conducting a report on her entire inspection. She had even patiently answered quite a few of their questions, which made the three reporters feel their trip wasn’t in vain.

What made them happier was that because of her highness’ inspection, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu had rushed back from the Falling Rain Valley to accompany her.

Following the two of them, they received quite a bit of news that was worth reporting on from listening two these two important people of Banta City.

For example, the chairman Xu had just told her highness that there was a great hidden danger in Banta City. It made the three reporters from the «Banta Times» perk up their ears and focus on listening.

Seveni was also very surprised, but she knew that Xu Yi wasn’t someone who said things to scare people. So she asked in the same serious tone, “What hidden danger?”

“Your highness, you should know that Banta City is currently growing at a rapid rate and there are many new things that have never been seen before.” Xu Yi said.

“You’re talking about your Frestech Chamber of Commerce?” Seveni asked with a smile.

Xu Yi nodded without any courtesy, “Indeed, the various magic machines from our company are all very novel, but because these things are novel, people are experiencing things that they’ve never experienced before. So as these things become more popular, without enough laws, these things will become problems. The one I’m worried about the most right now is the Magic Car.”

“Oh? What do you mean?” Seveni asked in an interested voice.

“For example, when our Frestech Chamber of Commerce sells Magic Cars, we request the people who buy the Magic Car to have a driver’s license from our Frestech Chamber of Commerce. It’s because the Magic Car is much faster than horse carriages, so if you’re not skilled at driving one, it’s very easy to create an incident. If it’s serious, people might even die.”

Xu Yi’s expression was serious, so people knew that he was not joking.

“We developed the Magic Car to improve people’s lives and naturally we hope that it won’t cause any loses, so we are very serious when it comes to this.”

“Un. I’ve seen the Magic Car before, it is indeed much faster than horse carriages, so there are more risks. You asking people to have driver’s licenses to drive them is necessary and is a very responsible approach.” Seveni nodded as she praised him.

“But the problem comes now.” Xu Yi spread his hands and helplessly said, “Although when we sign the contract with the buyer, the contract states that the driver must have a driver’s license, we are a company in the end and don’t have any binding power. So if someone wants to break this contract and drive a Magic Car without a license, we don’t have any means to punish them.”

“I understand. You want to have our City Lord Manor create a corresponding law, right?” Seveni asked.

“Right.” Xu Yi said with a nod, “Actually, to be honest, I hope that the Royal Parliament can make a set of laws that will specialize in regulating the operation of Magic Cars. I want to avoid any problem occurring while also setting punishments for breaking the laws.”

“I’m afraid there’s no way for now…..” Seveni slightly knit her brows, “Passing a law through the Royal Parliament is a very serious matter, it’s not impossible to do this easily. Although I agree with your ideas, the Magic Cars don’t have enough influence right now and the Royal Parliament won’t consider this issue.”

Xu Yi gave a shrug, understanding Seveni’s worries.

A law for a kingdom would be a very serious matter. The Royal Parliament wouldn’t make a law just for the Magic Cars that easily, they would definitely choose to observe it for a while first.

But Xu Yi couldn’t wait, he needed a complete law now. It wasn’t just out of consideration of safety, it would affect the development of the Magic Cars.

Just the day before yesterday, there was a bad piece of news from the Fersen Carriage Company.
