Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

After hearing Leo Ray’s question, Linda contemplated for a moment and then replied, “My Lord, the previous City Lord of Cyan Town had no connection with our Sanders family.

Moreover, the higher-ups in the family naturally wouldn’t know that I have already signed a contract with you, so they would likely continue to command me to manage this branch.”

Bowing respectfully to Leo Ray, Linda continued, “As for the Trading Conference guards who accompanied me here, please rest assured, my lord, they are all my personal henchmen and have high loyalty.”

“Very good. The rare treasures that the previous City Lord has collected will be freely distributed by you. Make good performance in this branch to lay a solid foundation for our next arrangement,” said Leo Ray with a nod of satisfaction.

“If you run into financial problems, feel free to mention it.”

Without a doubt, as long as Linda could secure a leading position in the Sanders family, this powerful kingdom force would naturally be harnessed for their side.

Before that, Linda would undoubtedly serve as a wedge driven into the Sanders family and Coldflame Kingdom, providing access to firsthand information resources at any time.

With that in mind, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and added, “In addition, reward each of your Trading Conference guards with 200 Gold Dragons and double their current benefits to further consolidate their loyalty.”

“At your command, my Lord!” Linda, who had just resolved the performance issue, joyfully bowed once again.

Following that, Leo Ray discussed a series of other complicated issues regarding Cyan Town with Linda and Mason Banks. The two left to start their respective tasks.

With everything taken care of, they retired for the night. Leo Ray hosted everyone at the City Lord’s Mansion. Not until the eastern sky turned white did he leave his secured bedroom.

Naturally, the first thing he had to do after waking up was to swallow a Qi Condensing Pill.

Having advanced to Tier 2, his control over the medicinal properties had greatly increased. In addition to his previous refining experiences, it didn’t take much effort for him to purge a stale breath and slowly open his eyes.

At this moment, a glint of brilliance flashed across his dark and bright eyes, undeniably indicating that his strength had risen to a new level.

“I have reached Tier 2 Three-star…”

After checking his Lord Attributes, a delighted smile crept up on Leo Ray’s face.

With that, fully dressed, he left the house with a spring in his step.

“My Lord, you’re awake.”

Just as he stepped out of the door, Stella Clark’s voice reached his ears.

“Stella, did you stay up all night?” Concerned, he stepped closer, looking at the twin sister who was guarding his door.

“No, my lord. Serena and I took turns standing guard,” replied Stella with a tinge of red in her ears and a shy smile on her face.

“Alright, don’t just stand there. Come with me and let’s see what the others are up to.”

Grabbing Stella’s arm, Leo Ray immediately began walking towards the first floor lobby.

On returning to the lobby, he noticed that it had already been cleaned up. Several attractive maids were working diligently in the corners, wiping away bloodstains. As they caught sight of Leo Ray, they all bowed and displayed gratitude in their eyes.

Leo Ray had already learned about these maids the night before. They had suffered a great deal at the hands of the previous City Lord.

As a result, proper arrangements were made for them, and plenty of Gold Dragons were issued, ensuring a comfortable life for them and their families.Meanwhile, Linda and Mason Banks, who had been waiting for a while, immediately went up to greet them.

“Reporting to the Lord, we have cleared all the hideouts of Cuttlebone and the other two mercenary corps, and have issued the corresponding warrants for the remnants who are out on other missions,” said Mason Banks, who was wearing a bright-colored brocade robe and still had a glowing face, as he cupped his fist.

“Also, I have established contact with the leaders of the other mercenary corps within the city, and they will pay their respects to the Lord in half an hour.”

“My Lord, the issue with inviting the merchant representatives has been properly handled. ”

Then, stepping forward, Linda cupped her hands and reported, “Kombu and other merchant representatives will pay their respects in an hour.”

“Very good.” Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction at the news.

Unquestionably, as long as the mercenaries and merchants in the city were stabilized and prepared for allegiance, and the situation with the Defense Army was discussed with Rhizoma Drynariae and others, the matters of Cyan Town could be temporarily put to rest.

“My Lord, breakfast is ready, and I baked the bread myself…”

Immediately after, with a strong smell of burnt bread, Scarlett, who was in high spirits, brought a plate of black unidentified objects to Leo Ray.

After finishing the breakfast prepared by Serena Clark and giving Scarlett a flick on the forehead, Leo Ray, sitting on the throne, welcomed his first batch of guests: the leaders of various mercenary corps in the city.

Leo Ray noticed that there were about fifty or sixty mercenaries sitting below, still dressed in various styles, just as he had seen at the city gate earlier.

At a glance, it was densely packed, and the two leading burly men were both emanating remarkable auras, apparently both reaching the level of Tier 3 Powerhouses.

Moreover, Leo Ray already recognized many faces from the city gate, which could be considered old acquaintances.

On the other side, from the moment they stepped into the hall, all the mercenaries appeared to be shocked, and had no courage to raise their heads.

That was because the hall was filled with a terrifying atmosphere that was almost suffocating.

At this moment, to the left and right of Leo Ray, stood Taylor and Gideon Black.

Next in line were Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and a wronged-looking Scarlett.

The last ones were Linda and Mason Banks.

Undoubtedly, the overwhelming aura emitted by a Tier 5 Powerhouse, a Tier 4 Powerhouse, and five Tier 3 Powerhouses made these mercenaries who had been licking blood from knife blades tremble with fear.

This kind of awe from the depths of their hearts felt like the advent of royalty.

Seeing this, Leo Ray signaled Taylor and others to restrain their auras and spoke first, “You don’t need to be so restrained. I believe some of you are already familiar with me, right?”

On the other side, hearing Leo Ray’s calm and meaningful voice along with the easing of pressure in the hall, the mercenaries finally raised their heads and looked up at Leo Ray on the throne.

Almost at the same moment, everyone showed disbelief again, not expecting the young man who had vanquished the powerful former City Lord and his party would be so young!

As for the mercenaries who had the fortune of seeing Leo Ray and others’ true faces before, they were even more stunned, unable to utter a word.

After a short while, an old man dressed in tattered robes, his face wrinkled like tree bark, exclaimed, “How…. how could it be you?!”
