At this moment, the three of them stood there as if thunderstruck.

This couldnt be possible!

How could a Lord of Glory have ama.s.sed such an extremely powerful army in just a few months?

They witnessed his army holding off tens of thousands of sea beasts, even wreaking havoc on the armed forces of the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands.

Are you telling them that hes a Lord of Glory!?

Why are you feeling so surprised? Ji Chen glanced at them.

Xhakas quickly said, No matter what the Lords ident.i.ty is, 1 will remain loyal.

Just as the other two were about to express their loyalty, Ji Chen waved his hand, Dont waste time with meaningless flattery. 1 need your actions, not words.

Im a lord who has always been fair in rewards and punishments. If you perform well, you will be rewarded; if you make mistakes, you will be punished.

As long as you can complete the tasks I a.s.sign, everything will be fine.

The three of them hurriedly saluted in response, but thoughts were brewing in their minds.

It seemed that this Lord they were forced to serve not only possessed immense strength but also seemed to be an ambitious individual.

Apart from the rather annoying master-slave contract, they hadnt been mistreated. In fact, he entrusted them with industries and resources across the entire Stars.h.i.+ne Islands, something they had never had before.

The situation didnt seem so bad?

Ignoring the three who were lost in thought, Ji Chen left on his own.

In the vast dome-shaped hall, they were left staring at each other.

Xhakas looked around, observing the unchanged council chamber, feeling like he had entered a different world.

Just a few days ago, they were sitting here high and mighty, dressed in suits, casually deciding the fates of many in the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands, wielding the highest authority.

Now, returning here once more, they had become servants to others, with their lives at the mercy of someone else.

I never thought that we would end up like this, Kieran sighed. Can we consider this like we had invited trouble into our home? We did stop the sea beast tide, but we lost our wealth and even the entire Stars.h.i.+ne Islands.

Its all Hadmans fault. If it werent for his instigation, we wouldnt be in this situation. Getting blasted by magic was a punishment too lenient on him! Herman spat on the ground and complained.

Well, now we can only accept our fate. A contract set by a legendary-level powerhouse is not something we can resist Xhakas, what do you think?

Xhakas didnt respond; he just gave them a cold look and reprimanded, We should remain loyal to Lord Ji Chen and do more work, rather than secretly complaining here. Loyalty is the highest virtue.

Kieran and Herman looked a bit taken aback and annoyed.

You, with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, youve quickly embraced your role, huh!?

Why didnt we know you were naturally talented at being a dog!?

The three of them parted ways, not in the best of spirits.

Xhakas walked out with a cold face, his expression gradually relaxing.

He glanced sideways at the two who were still in the hall, a hint of a cold smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

These two fools. Despiting knowing they had reached this point, they still dared to secretly complain behind the Lords back, and clung to their old ways. Werent they afraid of the Lords blade?

Their foolishness would eventually be his gain. Thinking that the Lord would exclude them and trust him alone. By then, hed be the one ruling over the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands. As a result, Xhakas was feeling quite pleased with himself. With these thoughts in mind, Xhakass mood improved slightly, and he left with his hands behind his back.

Halfway up the mountain.

The estate that originally belonged to a certain council member of Stars.h.i.+ne City had become spoils of war for the Ocean Crown after the council member died in the previous battle.

This vast and beautiful estate was now temporarily used as Ji Chens office.

In a luxurious room.

Ji Chen sat at his desk, leaning back in a soft chair made from the fur of some unknown sea creature, listening to Alices report.

Since joining Ji Chen, Alice was exposed to various tasks and developed good administrative abilities alongside her formidable personal strength.

As Wilus and the others were currently on the New Moon Islands, Alice temporarily took on the role of secretary.

All the resources in the warehouses of the Thirteen Council Families, except for those of Xhakas, Kieran, and Herman, are currently undergoing inventory, but due to the large quant.i.ty and disorganized state, it will take several additional days to finish the complete inventory.

However, we have already prioritized the rare resources, the ones you are most concerned about, my Lord. There is a total of four million units of rare resources.

This seems a bit low, Ji Chen frowned and shook his head.

Yes, indeed, Alice nodded in agreement, maintaining her poised secretary demeanor. The Thirteen Council Families and the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands dont have a significant demand for rare resources. Most of their internal and external trade relies on gold coins as the trading currency.

So, compared to other things, there arent many rare resources, but the quant.i.ty of gold coins is quite substantial.

At that level of quant.i.ty Alice recalled the warehouses filled with gold coins she had seen earlier and used an a.n.a.logy, Its piled up like a ma.s.sive underwater mountain.

Oh? Approximately how many are we talking about?

Initially estimated to be over thirty million gold coins, with a specific quant.i.ty ranging from thirty million to thirty-three million..
