Elder Windhelder.

It was a sizable hall where the important and influential people of the town, which had been established under Kai rules, were seated.

The sound of talking and murmuring reverberated throughout the empty hall, giving it a human resonance and warmth.

Even so, the gathering was split into three groups, one of which opposed the lord, who had summoned them without warning.

The second group consists of those who remained impartial and did not join any groups until they learned which party held power.

Finally, the group that supported Kai and his sister did so because they wanted to benefit from his ascension to the lordship.

They stood by Kai and his sister.

Kai had two options for this town, and he could have chosen to impose martial law and low productivity, which would have cost him some business and resulted in a slowly and disappointingly developing city.

However, he also had another opportunity to work with the fat man who had been criticizing Kai for so long. This would make Kai's rule over the city quite unbalanced, but it would also be a great development because it would bring in a ton of merchants and adventurers from other cities.

Hence, taking into consideration, many of those who were visiting this meeting were hoping for Kai to make a reasonable choice and work out with the fatty from before.

"Silence!!!" The meeting's attention was drawn by a prolonged shout, and when Seraphina, a Kai sister, came through the gate, everyone in the room stopped talking out of respect for the young woman standing in front of them who truly held the power and reign over this city based on martial prowess.

In the eyes of the populace, she was the ideal candidate to rule this city because she was innately popular with every city resident.

However, she had a far too straight-laced personality and had never considered usurping her brother's rule of the town.

"Miss Seraphina..." She had to be respected by everyone, even that fat person, because she had been in charge of them for so long while having so few resources.

She turned to look at Kai, who was walking next to her and grinning, as her auburn hair danced in the wind coming in from outside.

Her ruby-red eyes were fixed on the invited guest with a fierce and dominating presence, but there was gentleness hidden within them.

"Come, they are all waiting for you, brother." She communicated this with Kai through her gaze, and he responded with a tepid nod before entering the room and surveying the guests.

It was also the moment that many people associate with the day of the eclipse as he took his first step toward becoming the lord of this town.

"Please take your seats, everyone. This meeting is held to discuss the future development of this town and the appropriate role that I will define for this town."

Kai had dealt with this many people before because he had similar experiences in a previous life.

As a result, he did not experience the usual levels of anxiety that a first-timer would normally feel, and his voice had a sense of assurance and tone that left everyone in the room a little taken aback.

"So, for that, I want all of you to first introduce yourself and your role, especially those who are leading a group in their work."

A buzz filled the room as Kai took his seat, followed by a calm moment as a silver-haired beauty and an Auburn-haired girl stood beside him.

"Heh! A brat that came from hiding is acting almighty and asking for our name, even though he was just hiding from all this work for a week now."

Given that he had been waiting for that man to say such things, Kai grinned at him as one might expect from Fatty.

Kai and his sister had already discussed the idea of "bad cop" and "good cop" interrogation techniques, which were one of the most well-known methods used for such purposes in many nations on earth.

"Shut up! Don't go too far with your words, Roel."

Seraphina struck out at the fatty, who became a little frightened in the presence of her enraged gaze and nearly fell backward when confronted by her intense aura and intent.

It was then Kai spoke with a little laughter that diffused the intense atmosphere: "Big sister, it is alright; just let him complete what he wants to say, and what is the thing he is against about? After all, he must have some valid reason behind them, right? Roel Merchant!"

When Roel realized that Kai was in the best position possible given that it would be the best course of action if he truly wanted to make money from this city, he almost swallowed his bitter saliva and gave Kai a different look.

"It was just because of the age, my lord, and nothing more, but there is also how we also want to create a garage to put all of my products, and we needed to have a leeway at the entrance tax."

Fat Merchant put down his card because he believed it was the best move to make at this point and asked Kai directly for a chance to establish himself in this town.

"Of course, I can think about it, but before this, I had some rules that needed to be established at this time of the city's development, where the working section under our group will be divided into three major sections."

Last night, Kai gave a lot of thought to the three major areas that this town needs to develop, and he realized that these areas had been divided into various groups in order to carry out specific codes of action.

"The first section is manpower, and I have decided to have the old chief of this town act as the leader in this section and divide how many people manpower will be working for which work."

After all, manpower in this town was scarce, and Kai didn't want to waste it on meaningless tasks. When they all had a lot of important things to work on.

He devised a system in which manpower distribution would begin with his command, as the order would be passed down to Seraphina, and she would be the one to command the Human Resource Chief for further instructions.

However, a different division of resource management was set up under the direction of his big sister, Seraphina's closest friend and most dependable asset.

"Sister Arisa is the head of resource management and will be responsible for overseeing the number of resources under us, and from human management, I want to send 10 people with the ability to count to work under her permanently."

Kai intended to use this to keep an eye on resource management as well as anyone else who might be considering profiting from the town's shady administration.

The previous act's fatty began to turn black upon hearing the Kai arrangement because so few people were aware of how the Kai management method was bringing many things into order and laying a strong foundation for the construction of a rich city-like structure, not to mention acting on a small-scale town development.

Since everything was placed under the jurisdiction of his sister Seraphina, who had all the power work under her, he had almost no opportunity to profit from this town disturbance.

"Haha! That brat has thought it well." One of the most important people finally got the message from the neutral zone and got up from his seat.

He was the same person from before who was waiting for Kai's return and was acting as a leader within the neutral zone, making his decision have an impact on the majority of people in the hall.
