"Boom!!!"
Thunder shook the heavens, followed by torrential rain pouring down. This was the final rain to ripen the autumn wheat, with only a dozen days left before the wheat harvest.
Liu Feng sat with his eyes closed at his desk, while Nicole gently massaged his shoulders. On another newly added table, Mina and Anli were fighting over snacks.
"Knock, knock..."
The sound of knocking echoed, and Liu Feng opened his eyes, saying calmly, "Come in."
Noah Ben entered after opening the door. He had already taken off his knight's armor and changed back into his butler's attire. After bowing to Liu Feng, he smiled and said, "Young Master, the Wolf Warriors have completed their mission well. After the beating you ordered, their restless hearts have calmed down."
"Hmm, the rewards shouldn't be lacking." Liu Feng chuckled. With the martial equipment of this world, if the Wolf Warriors Special Forces still failed, he would immediately rename them the Maggot Squad.
"It's already been arranged," Noah Ben nodded. This small matter didn't require the Young Master's worry.
"Did they confess?" Liu Feng crossed his arms and said calmly, "Tomorrow is an important day, and I don't want any mistakes."
"Young Master, those grain merchants are all cowards. The tortures you taught me were only used twice, and they were scared into unconsciousness."
Thinking of those tortures, Noah Ben shuddered several times. Things like bamboo sticks piercing through fingernail gaps, skin being cut to insert maggots, and even more terrifying, being sliced into pieces.
"It's good that they confessed. I'll give them the retribution they deserve," Liu Feng said calmly.
These grain merchants really thought their plan was flawless, but they didn't consider human nature. Before it even started, it had already been crushed.
No one expected that one of the grain merchants, after getting drunk, would make reckless statements about killing Liu Feng, which was overheard by a helper. The information was quickly brought to Liu Feng.
Helpers were short-term workers, and merchants preferred to use them because they could be easily dismissed after a few days of work with some money.
This helper's whole family worked for Liu Feng and could eat their fill every day. If Liu Feng, the City Lord, died, they would continue to starve.
Liu Feng had already gained the hearts of the common people in West Sun City. Although it was still somewhat shallow, it wouldn't take long for the entire city to be loyal to him.
"Young Master, do we really have to do it like that tomorrow?" Noah Ben hesitated for a moment before voicing his concern, "I'm afraid the commoners will be frightened!"
Liu Feng glanced at the tense Mina and Anli nearby and said calmly, "Don't underestimate the commoners. They're not easily intimidated."
"But, won't the sudden inclusion of orcs be too shocking?"
When Noah Ben first heard about this from the Young Master, he was astonished. The Young Master actually wanted to integrate orcs into West Sun City, which was unprecedented.
Even in the royal capital, most of the orcs seen on the streets were slaves, and only free orcs could be seen in dark corners.
In Noah Ben's eyes, orcs were gluttonous and had peculiar appearances. Some rude orcs were particularly disliked by him. Of course, he couldn't dislike beast ladies like Miss Mina and Miss Anli.
"No, this is a good opportunity. We need the orcs, and they need us."
Liu Feng gently patted Nicole's small hand on his shoulder, stood up slowly, and gazed at the dark rain curtain outside, "Let me break the shackles of thought. What they see as great terror, I see as new hope."
Noah Ben opened his mouth, then silently closed it, bowed, and turned to leave.
Since the Young Master wasn't afraid, as his butler, he needed to prepare for any potential safety hazards now.
"Liu Feng, why are you doing this for our orcs? You should know that, with your approach, it's hard for humans to accept us right away," Anli came to Liu Feng and asked very seriously.
When she first heard about this plan, she was filled with anxiety and cold sweat. It was truly a bit crazy.
She initially thought Liu Feng would let her companions live in the territory by allocating them a hidden place. However, it was completely different from what she imagined. He actually wanted her companions to live openly in West Sun City.
"Because I need the orcs, I need you," Liu Feng smiled warmly and looked at Anli and Mina seriously.
"Young Master, I'm always ready," Mina flicked her wrist, and a military knife appeared in her hand.
"...I..." Anli lowered her head. Her heart was in turmoil. How could a corrupt noble think that orcs were needed?
"You can try believing in me once. If you don't even dare to try, then the result will forever remain in your imagination," Liu Feng said gently.
The population of West Sun City was indeed a bit small. In this era, population was also a resource, and many of Liu Feng's plans required a large population.
"I, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll let them enter the city," Anli lifted her head and said firmly, "I trust Mina's judgment. If, I mean if, Liu Feng can really integrate orcs into West Sun City, I, Anli... I'll be yours, Liu Feng."
Yours??? Liu Feng's lips twitched as he looked at the blushing fox-eared girl. What kind of development was this?
"Ahem..."
Under Mina's astonished gaze, Anli covered her face and hurriedly ran out of the study. On the way, she cursed herself in her heart, "Anli, what were you thinking? How could you say such embarrassing things? It's so embarrassing."
"Shouldn't I have said that I would serve Liu Feng? Why did it come out differently? Didn't you always say you couldn't trust humans..."
"It seems that Liu Feng is a bit different!"
"Will tomorrow really be the start of hope?"
"My attempt shouldn't be a nightmare... right!"
The inner world of a fox-eared girl is truly rich!
