Exploiting the Power of a Nation, Enticing a RulersFavor

Sun City was an excellent area densely filled with resources, and just like Rhein Headquarters had established West Farms here, many other totem aristocratic families on the same scale or higher also established resource gathering locations.

Of these establishments, the ones who held the most influence were West Farms, as well as the Rhein Headquarters rivalSommer () Clans Suzanne () Farms.

In a struggle over resources, the two large-scale farms had already gone through a bloody history of enmity for tens of years. One could say that it was a rivalry where enemies could not live under the same sky, so no rest until death

Sauron was the number one overseer of Suzanne Farms, as well as Sun Citys number one expert.

He had slaughtered at least one hundred or more overseers from West Farms!

Therefore, when she first saw Sauron, Miss Weylin didnt reveal any kind of pleasant face, Sauron, why is a lowly person like you not hiding at home like a cat in winter, and rather running to this womans farm?!

Maybe its to discuss something, or maybe its to kill someone.

Sauron licked his lips and chuckled faintly and sauntered through the farms gates. When he passed by Jiang Nan, he spoke sinisterly: Weylin, this slave knows no etiquette, how about I kill him in your place?

Saying this, Sauron unexpectedly really extended his hand out to grab Jiang Nan!

Mister, its alright, isnt it? All I did was take a glance at you.

Jiang Nan hastily explained himself! However, right after he spoke, he realized something. Sauron wouldnt care about something so trivial as a simple face expressionSun Citys number one expert wasnt so petty. He was only purposely killing a person to establish his authority and demonstrate it to Miss Weylin!

Killing several slaves to flaunt his power was to increase his negotiating power, and which was a common method of aristocratic families.

Jiang Nan smiled bitterly then closed his eyes

Pa!

At the most critical point, Weylin suddenly drew out her leather whip, and lightly cracking it, she coiled it around Saurons arm, You lowly person, it isnt your business to teach this womans slaves. If you want to fight, then come at me! (TL: bro)

Heh, you still have this temper of yours. Alright, I was just joking. Lets head in to talk.

Sauron playfully swept his gaze over Jiang Nan, then walked into the farm with his eyes crinkling happily.

So powerful

Jiang Nan who had just escaped death only felt his whole back prickling, his shirt already soaked through.

Just then, Saurons grip didnt contain strength able to shake the heavens and the earth, nor was there any ingenious technique behind it. However, just a casual gesture caused Jiang Nan to feel as though he was completely incapable of fleeing, that he could only await death!

Was this the power of totems?!

If he himself possessed this kind of strength

Jiang Nan suddenly felt that he was quite laughable. He was just a useless piece of trash that had no innate talent, just a slave. Thinking such things was there any meaning in doing so?!

On the other hand, Sauron had already reached the courtyard at the back of the farm, and strode casually, seeming as though he had reached his own houses courtyard.

Weylin didnt call any servants to receive him and serve tea, and simply stood at the entrance to the courtyard, coldly saying: There are no more outsiders now. Speak. Exactly whats the matter?

Sauron smiled lightly, then adjusting his shirt, he spoke: Weylin, you are Sun Citys most beautiful and strongest woman. However, when speaking of the whole continent, there is yet another stronger than you, lovelier than you Do you know who Im speaking of?

Yulianne?!

Weylins face changed, Dont tell me that this matter has to do with Yulianne?

Correct! Theres news from *Yanjing. The continents number one beauty, owner of the fastest blade, the number one chef specialized in knife work, Yulianne is about to arrive at Sun City!

(*TL: IDK what that is, but we will see I will figure it out)

Saurons face grew solemn, Were both very clear on the matter that happened three years ago. Yulianne killed the Golden Lion amidst that *cavalry of ten thousand men, rescuing the fate of the empire. However, she wasnt willing to receive the gratitude or title given by the empire, and even left without letting anyone know.

(TL: Okay Im confused, but just dont question it. I dont think it matters too much, except for the fact that she killed the Golden Lion in front of a huge number of people.)

Whats the point?

What other point is there? Yuliannes bewitching blade and her power to fell a thousand-troop army in one stroke changed the whole history of the continent with just a casual swing of her hand. What emperor wouldnt want to curry favor with such an expert, and what emperor wouldnt want to bring such a beautiful woman into his harem?!

Sauron eyes emitted a mocking light, In order to get into Yuliannes good graces, His Majesty the Emperor has exhausted all kinds of methods these past three years. This time is not an exception either: His Majesty has secretly commanded that when Yulianne arrives, Sun City is to have all powers attempt to find favor with Yulianne at all costs! Furthermore, His Majesty has also said whoever is able to make her the happiest

He let out two rounds of unbridled laughter, will receive a sufficiently significant reward!

That reward is how significant?

Whoever is able to make Yulianne laugh and ally with the empire, His Majesty will permit that person to view the Tortoiseshell of Destiny! (TL: Sorry, Im dying.Oh my, the tortoiseshell of destiny!)

The Tortoiseshell of Destiny

You lowly person, you lowly son of a b****!

Weylin suddenly roared. Although others didnt know what the Tortoiseshell of Destiny was, as one of the respective leaders of the Rheinhardt Clan, she was extremely clear on this subject!

To curry favor with Yulianne, His Majesty had even taken out the Tortoiseshell of Destiny! This was basically exploiting the power of a nation to entice Yuliannes favor!

Rhein Headquarters had actually neglected to promptly send news of such a major affair, and instead allowed her archenemy, a person belonging to Suzanne Farms, to notify her! This, this what a f***ing son of a b****!

During this time, Sauron had been watching Weylin with a gleeful smile on his face. Only after waiting for her rage to gradually dissipate did he slowly and deliberately say: Miss Weylin, the matter is like this. In order to obtain the opportunity to view the Tortoiseshell of Destiny, each respective power of Sun City will definitely flock to welcome Yulianne, sparing no effort or resource to rope in the continents number one beauty, but

Turning the direction of the conversation, he continued, Sun Citys larger and smaller powers amount to 137 families. With so many powers swarming around, itll definitely be a scene of chaos, leading to Yuliannes displeasure Therefore, the lord of our Suzanne Farms has a bit of a proposal!

If you have s***, then let it spew!

Weylin glared icily at Sauron.

S***? Ai, its really hard to imagine that such a vulgar and filthy word came out of the mouth of such a beautiful lady

Sauron chuckled, then resumed the topic, My farms Lords proposal is this: that all 137 powers of Sun City ally together and form a reception committee for Yulianne with my farms Lord taking on the role of committee president, leading everyone to welcome her altogether.

If Suzanne Farms Lord took on the position of president, once Yulianne was roped in, then when His Majesty bestowed the reward of viewing the Tortoiseshell of Destiny, it would naturally fall solely on Suzanne Farms!

No matter how much Weylin thought about it, she couldnt understand.

Furthermore, she had also thought of the fact that Suzanne Farms Lord might take advantage of the opportunity to suppress each power, exclusively monopolizing Sun Citys abundant resources!

So Weylin laughed frostily: Your farms Lord really is quite calculating!

You flatter me!

Sauron chuckled faintly: As of this moment, twenty-seven farms, fifteen mines, and four livestock managements have already acknowledged my farms Lord as president! On the other hand, there were several farm lords who were quite stubborn and refused my farm Lords good will Of course, Ive already made it so that they will will never have the chance to nod again Miss Weylin, do you recognize my farms Lord as president?

After he finished speaking, he directed an indifferent gaze towards Weylin. Clearly, if Weylin dared to say the word no, he wouldnt mind taking advantage of his identity as Sun Citys number one expert to kill someone in a fit of rage!

Sauron, you lowly son of a b****, dont go too far!

Facing such humiliating conditions and such forceful oppression, Weylin had become furious to the point that her veins were bulging!

However, after roaring in such a manner, she suddenly clenched her fists, squeezing out a thread of a smile, But this woman appreciates your strength, so return and tell Suzanne Farms Lord that when Yulianne arrives, West Farms will acknowledge her as our lord and listen to all that Suzanne Farms commands!

A cold gleam flashed across Saurons eyes, and fixing his gaze at Weylin for a long moment, he suddenly praised her: It is truly the fortune of Count West that West Farms has you in charge!

At this, Sauron blew out a long whistle, then disappeared into the obscurity of snow.

As for Weylin, she stood there in the snow, grinding her teeth. Suddenly, she lashed out her whip and with a boom, she broke a large tree whose trunk was as thick as someones waist!

Suzanne Farms, this woman will remember the shame of this day!

After a while later, a manager on the farm hastily ran over, Miss, theres news from Headquarters saying that the continents number one beauty, Yulianne, is about to

A lowly thing like you doesnt need to run his mouth off, this woman as long since found out!

The manager stared blankly, *You already know?

Weylin waved her hand to cut him off, and narrated to him what had just happened. The manager then responded in alarm: Miss, Suzanne Farms wants to take the chance of viewing the Tortoiseshell of Destiny for themselves, and even wants to seize the opportunity to suppress our farm, *you, how could *you accept!

Then would it be okay if this woman refused?!

Weylin pointed at the empty farm, Overseer Ceci has taken two thousand of our strong men at once! If I didnt accept and started a fight, what would I make use of to battle with someone?! With the current offensive force of this farm, we wouldnt even be able to withstand three hours of onslaught!

The manager also understood this and laughed bitterly: Thats true, its not the time to start fighting right now. Not to mention others, just Sun Citys number one expert Sauron himself, even if it was Miss, *you might not be able to resist him.

Hmph! As long as you understand! Go on then, spare no effort to accommodate Suzanne Farms in welcoming Yulianne. In order to protect our future, even if its humiliating, even if its infuriating, this woman must bear it!

Weylin limply gestured, indicating that the manager could take his leave.

And then she secretly let out a sigh.

Weylin was only a young woman of twenty years, and a woman as young as her was solely responsible for the lives of several thousand people. There was also inner turmoil within the farm, and external pressure from Suzanne Farms aggressive negotiators. It was really too exhausting

But no matter how bitter or tiring it was, Weylin still had to persevere. After all, who told her older brother, Count West, to be such a playboy? Besides herself, the farm had no second backbone.

Ai, if only at this time, a reliable man stood forth and bore part of the responsibility with her, how nice it would be!

The heavy snow scattered in all directions, and in the world of ice and snow, Weylin let out a sigh.

For the upper levels of the farm, there were already turbulent undercurrents. However, for the slaves of the lower levels, they didnt care much for this, and instead only worried about whether theyd be able to eat their fill the next day.

After sending Weylin off, Lola brought Jiang Nan and the two overseers to an empty space next to the pigsty, then commanded Jiang Nan to assemble all the slaves in charge of caring for the pigs.

During this time, Jiang Nan had also understood the process of Lolas promotion: it turns out, Weylins personal maid was also taken away by Overseer Ceci, and below her, there was nobody she could use. Thus, Weylin promoted Lola who at least seemed a bit quick-witted, and from that day on, Lola started to assist Weylin in managing the farm. She could be considered as Jiang Nans immediate superior, and partially his master.

Late at night, at ten, Jiang Nan finally assembled all the slaves in charge of raising the pigs and stood in the empty space, and Lola shouted in declaration before them: You guys better listen up! From this day forward, I am the manager of affairs of this place, and all of you must obey my orders, understand?!

A lowborn persons dream come true!

A number of slaves curled their lips disapprovingly, replying quietly: We got it already

Being unable to get an answer, Lolas face turned a bit green. Her gaze inspected the crowd as she thought in her heart, Oh no, all these old foxes of a slave dont accept me, what should I do? Let the overseers pressure them into submission No, no, there are too many slaves. If I do that, I might incite rebellion.

Shifting her eyes, she thought of something: Right, Miss Weylin said that under these circumstances, I should punish someone as an example and straighten out the strongest slave to establish my authority

In the next second, Lolas eyes settled on Jiang Nan, Rodi, you get your lowly ass out here!
