Synopsis

The chapter begins with nobles questioning the effort put into the Bay Region, but Raymond presents a detailed plan focusing on environmental improvements, security enhancements, and the transformation of the entertainment district into a legitimate business hub. He argues that the Bay Region's proximity to the capital and its existing entertainment infrastructure provide a unique advantage. His proposal impresses the King, who then seeks Raymond’s opinion on how to best use allocated funds for the Bay Region, leading to a discussion on the root causes of its problems and possible solutions.
