Chapter 216 Maple Leaf City Layout (Part 3)

"Tell me, how did you distribute this money, my eldest son." Angus turned to look at Ilysses and asked him.

Ilysses raised his head and explained the distribution rules and the source of the information in a leisurely manner.

"With my style, I can retire after the war with the dwarves is over." Angus nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with Ilysses. He was worthy of being his son.

Weilin curled his lips and wanted to complain about his father's narcissistic words, but he held it back for the sake of a small amount of money.

Lisis didn't care. He had seen a lot in the past ten years, and he couldn't accept his father's boasting. He had done it sometimes.

"That's the thing about money." Angus turned to look at his youngest son with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "My dear Willin, you suddenly have so much money in your hand, how are you going to use it."

Meeting his father's gaze, Verin had a strange feeling, as if he was trying to rob him of his little money.

"Invest in the construction of the territory, increase its strength, and prepare for the war between the kingdom and the dwarves in six years." Verin would not tell his father, because he had not yet fully thought about it.

"So be it."

Since his youngest son has plans, he will not interfere with the use of these 126 million gold coins.

"Okay, you two go ahead, your eldest brother and I need to have a chat."

"Yes, father."

Verin and Lysis held their chests and bowed, then exited the hall.

After escaping from his father, Verin separated from his fourth brother and went to find Kyle to initially discuss how to use the money.

However, after searching for half an hour in the manor, I was stunned not to see even a shadow.

"Hilda, where is Kyle?" Verin found his shadow guard and asked him.

Hilda thought for a while and replied respectfully: "Master, Sir Kyle should go out to collect stories."

"Yeah?"

Last time I heard that this kid wanted to write an adventure biography. He thought Kyle was just talking about it, but he didn't expect to take action so soon.

Since the other party was out, he could only wait until night to find Kyle.

…

The Duke of Light End controls Maple Leaf City. Duke arrived here two months ago and took over three stores in Kyle's name.

Half a month ago, a large number of troops suddenly blocked the outer suburbs of Maple Leaf City.

According to his observations and speculations, Maple Leaf City has no less than one hundred thousand troops, all of whom are the most elite force in the hands of Duke Lightend.

In the past few days, the streets of Maple Leaf City have been filled with a large number of patrols.

All the people with bad credit and criminal backgrounds in the past were arrested without any reason, just because of an order from Duke Lightend: "For the sake of stability, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go."

As a high-level bronze weakling, and with the excellent credit of the three stores he took over, he was able to avoid this unnecessary disaster.

One night three days ago, there was a huge earthquake in Maple Leaf City. Fortunately, Duke Dude took care of it. Apart from the collapse of some dilapidated buildings, there were no casualties in Maple Leaf City.

When De Duke came to Maple Leaf City with a mission, he knew that the big event that the adults were talking about might have happened.

The sky was dark, and Duke walked towards a courtyard with two confidants brought from Cardero Province.

Nowadays, people in Maple Leaf City must walk in an aboveboard manner, otherwise they will inevitably be arrested and taken to the police station to drink tea.

In the past few days, Duke had heard news that many businessmen had been beheaded in the counties under Maple Leaf City, but he didn't know if it was related to that big incident, so it was better to be cautious.

"Knock on the door," Duke ordered one of his attendants.

The young man stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, with two loud sounds and one small sound.

"Wait a moment, open the door immediately."

News came from the courtyard, and soon after, the door of the courtyard was opened.

"Mr. Duke, today is my family's birthday banquet. Welcome to your arrival." A man who looked like a butler said respectfully, his voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough to be heard by the surrounding civilians.

"Gary, give the gift to the butler." Duke ordered his entourage with a smile on his face.

Another young man handed the gift box to the housekeeper, and then followed Duke into the house.

Seeing this, a few idle civilians shook their heads and left.

I originally wanted to make a fortune, but I didn't expect that it was just an ordinary banquet guest, so there was no need to eavesdrop.

Entering the house, Duke asked his two followers to go have a drink and dinner. He spoke louder, and then followed the old housekeeper to the door of a room.

The housekeeper gently pushed open the wooden door and said to Duke: "Sir, several other adults are inside."

Duke entered the room without changing his expression.

Looking around, six other people have been waiting here for a long time.

"Lord Duke." The six people saluted.

Seeing the familiar six people, Duke's expression softened slightly and he said: "The situation has been tense recently, and the acquisition and merger plan ordered by the Lord can only be postponed."

"We will know." The six of them replied respectfully.

Duke nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "In addition, don't expand your business or buy houses recently, just operate normally. I suspect that the official is consolidating important industries in Maple Leaf City, and there should be any big moves in the future."

"The industry that the Lord initially chose is not a key industry of official concern, so you don't need to be worried. If you encounter a suspicious person, just report it directly to the public security station."

"Remember, we are serious businessmen."

"Yes, sir."

Recently, they heard about several cases of merchants being beheaded, all of which were related to smuggling, which just confirmed what Duke said.

It can be seen that the county magistrate of Maple Leaf City is strengthening tax collection and has zero tolerance for tax evasion. They just need to run their business with peace of mind and play the role of a legal businessman.

The seven people clarified their tasks again and left the house one after another.

At the palace on the northern hill outside Maple Leaf City, Lightend enjoyed dinner with his three wives.

"Teacher, how is the situation recently? Do you need my intervention?" Lightend looked at his teacher and asked gently.

"The entrance to the space channel has been explored almost completely. It is the entrance to the underground world. We don't know what the situation is on the other side, but the most important thing next is to ask the Duke of Moravia to help deploy an isolation barrier to prevent the strong men from the underground world from sneaking in and disrupting the order of the dukedom."

"Please leave the Duke of Moravia's affairs to me." Lightend nodded, and then asked, "So, teacher, what are your ideas?"

"Make this a golden place, give part of the profits to the royal family and several other dukes, attract adventurers to come and take risks, and make this another Haiyou City."
