Chapter 34 - Volume 2 (1/2)
Isaac forced the elves and North Bears into Port City for two reasons One was so they could get accusto in a human world The other was to buy hi New Port City in just three years was impossible, even if he had multiple lives to attempt at it To rebuild this city by the book would require considerable support froovernment, funds, and an are this city in a normal fashi+on In fact, Isaac realised that New Port City held the potential to beco as it was developed properly This ay back when Isaac gathered inforned to this city This possibility was neglected simply because he didn’t have the authority, funds, or manpower to do it But most important of all, he had no reason to do this bothersome task
“Is it time to start it all?”
With the holidays over, Kunette and Reisha, who didn’t want to go back to Campus were forcefully evicted froathered Cordnell, Lanburton and Rizzly with the plans which detailed the future projects to soree
“What is this?”
Lanburton tilted his head to the side when he was given a sheet of paper from Isaac Cordnell, on the other hand, quickly realised what it was after a single glimpse
“It’s an e should be done properly
“But we are already paid by the contracts uilds”
“Even better You’ll et paid frouilds”
Cordnell tilted his head, trying to process the situation He then decided to sign the contract as the representative of all seven e to lose fro it
Lanburton, on the other hand, handed the paper back to Isaac after watching Cordnell sign it
“Elves do not form contracts Every e speak is an oath we make”
“I have no choice because of tax issues If I don’t have proof, I can’t give your pay”
“Having a new experience is a pay we areto live for 3 years penniless? Well, that’s good forthe elves without any pay, I’ll be constantly harassed by Department of Law for tax evasion and exploitation of labour I’d really like to avoid that situation if I can”
“I guess there’s no choice then”
Once Lanburton signed his contract, Rizzly gathered the contracts and began co them with his His voice quivered as he spoke
“Um, what is this exception clause on our contract?”
“Ah, that? No matter how I think about it, I think the North Bears love honey too uys to resist bribes made of honey”
Both Cordnell and Lanburton nodded to Isaac’s words The martial prowess of the North Bear Tribe shouldsecurity or escort, but in truth, almost no one hired the North Bears
The reason was because they could not refuse any request when honey was being given to thele pot of honey was all it took for a warehouse to be emptied or for them to desert in the middle of their mercenary contract
“D, do you knohat this an to shake, unable to hold his emotions in check Cordnell found Rizzly’s reaction to be puzzling and decided to sneak a peek at Rizzly’s contract
“If the employee is offered honey from anyone who isn’t the employer for requests in any shape and fornore the request and report to the employer? Wow!”
“Ha! How creative”
“It still needs soes, but this is truly a decisive clause”
Cordnell and Lanburton shouted out in admiration, and it was now Isaac as puzzled by their reactions He looked at theuys so surprised?”
“This will beco the North Bear Tribe!”
Rizzly shouted Because of the damn honey, the men of North Bear Tribe were limited to a very narrow set of tasks Many of them wished to travel out into the world, but because of the lack of job opportunities, they had to stay in their own tribe
Even the men who followed Kunette out from the tribe arriors of the tribe who possessed exceptional ree
But now, the North Bear Tribe, which was forced to sustain itself on its own, could leave out into the outside world
Isaac spoke with a baffled look at Rizzly’s explanation
“All I did was play around with some words, but nobody came up with this simple solution?”
“The North Bears have been stuck with the iht of honey, nor was there any work that desperately required the North Bears It was a difficult problem because of how simple it was Ha! To think there was a solution like this With this clause, the North Bears no longer have a reason to betray their employers and can receive the bribes without a probleift to the North Bears”
Isaac looked to the three, who still seean to question if those three were ood in the end He finally had someone he can confidently claim is on his side in this hostile world filled atchers
“Then work hard for the next 3 years”
“We swear our loyalty to you!”
“I don’t need your loyalty, just your contract Now, shall we start?”
“Give us an order!”
Rizzly bowed his head as if proclaiive his life for Isaac, while Lanburton’s and Cordnell’s eyes flickered, who knew that things would finally be in motion
“Can you tell us of your plan?”
Cordnell, who had been suffering from Isaac’s leisurely behaviour until now, asked, and Isaac replied with a grin
“I will make this city famous for tourism”
“… What?”
Cordnell was dumbfounded by this plan, which was so simple that anyone could come up with it Lanburton tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand Rizzly clapped with his hands, not knohat any of it ood if it was Isaac’s
“But first, we need to clean this place”
The Rose Inn was the cleanest and ’s private room, three people sipped on their wines in silence Suddenly, Dinozo stepped into the room, and three pairs of eyes turned to look at him
“They told us not to cooperate with the Lord’s Representative no hed in unison Axlon spoke through the grit of his teeth
“Did you sufficiently explain to them the situation we’re in?”
“I did They didn’t even bother to listen”
“shi+t! Do they think just giving out that order would sort out everything?!”
“This isn’t the same as all the times before With the authority he holds as the Lord’s Representative, not one of us can guarantee our own safety”
“Just one word from him and the foundations of our poill vanish into thin air”
“Ha! You think I’ll die with my thu If I’ to die, I’ll take the Administrator with me”
Dinozo’s eyes narrowed at Axlon’s threat
“May I take that as a declaration that you no longer need the backing from Port City?”
“I would never have been able to say this in the past It’s thanks to those ed to kill the previous boss and take his place as my own”
“Yes Your previous boss was betrayed because he tried to cut ties with Port City and go on his own path And you are trying to walk the same path he did”
Axlon snorted despite Dinozo’s retaliation at his threat
“Ha! I’ that I’ll take the rest of you with me when I fall And betrayal, you say? Why don’t you try? Let’s see howsyndicate”
Everyone in the roo They have always been at odds with each other The only reason they aren’t in open conflict is because they didn’t want Isaac to get involved
“If anyone’s losing their place, I’d be the first one”
Dinozo muttered those words, and even Axlon couldn’t stop hi pity for him In truth, it was Dinozo as in most precarious situation after Isaac had received his newfound authority
The captains of the police are appointed by the ruler of the city alone Even the masters in Port City had no power to stop Isaac So if Isaac were to ever say ‘fuck off’ to Dinozo, he had no choice but to fuck off
“And you’re already too late You may have had the chance when he was alone, but do you have the confidence to kill hi his life?”
“Kuuk!”
