Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1489: Master

"Oh, right. There's one more thing, Your Highness." Melanie patted his head and said, "After you left for Mo Suo Star, Lord Bai fell into a deep sleep. He asked me to tell him that you can wake him up when you return."

"White?" Ellen was delighted to hear this. "This brat fell asleep. In other words, he was finally about to advance."

Allen knew Bai's potential better than anyone else. Bai had changed from snake king molt to human form, although he had sacrificed a lot of things. For example, King Snake was born with a better body than humans. However, Bai's potential was still enormous. After Laura and Belmord advanced, Bai was still at level 9. It wasn't that his talent was inferior to the others. On the contrary, he was more talented than Laura and the others. Even Hubble couldn't compare to White. The longer Bai stayed at LV29, the stronger his strength would become. Now that he had finally fallen into a deep slumber, it was clear that his advancement and metamorphosis were going on together. If it weren't for Laura, Alan would have almost woken him up.

In the end, he endured it and waited until he finished dealing with the matters at hand before going to see how far Bai had grown.

He was speechless all night.

The next day, Ellen met the big shots from Reese and Petty provinces as promised. In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, these few people entered one after another. Melanie, who was in charge of leading the way, nodded at Alan and retreated, closing the door for them. Alan had already known their identities. Among these people, there were two provincial governors. The Provincial Governor was the head of a province, and he was an important member who managed a province on behalf of Sbernak. Although their battle prowess might be negligible, they were good at managing territories. Among the people in front of them, the chubby Baltic standing at the front on the right was Reese's Governor, Heath. This fellow's head was as big as a ball, and he couldn't see his neck. He had a large body, short limbs, and a shiny face. He looked like a walking seal. The one on the left was Petty's provincial pivot chief, Coent. This Baltic had an incomparably long neck that looked like a giraffe. He had to bend his neck very hard when he entered the study, but now he had to be careful not to touch the crystal lamp on the ceiling.

As for the few people behind them, they were mostly great merchants or important members of the city.

Alan looked at them carefully and saw that they were sweating profusely. "I heard from Melanie that you have been in Mokedan for many days. Can you tell me what made you do this, or is your territory so comfortable that you don't need to take care of it?" Alan whispered.

The Governor of Reese, Heath, wiped the sweat off his head with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Your Highness Allen, you're joking. Your Majesty has placed our provinces under your name. We don't want to come to see you, Your Highness." "It's just that I came at a bad time to catch up with His Highness's long journey, and I was afraid that His Highness would suddenly come back and miss it. That's why I didn't dare to leave. I have the nerve to stay in Mokedan until now."

"Oh, that's really hard for you." '"Now that I'm back, just tell me what you have to say. If you're hiding it, I'm sorry for all of you. Don't be careless with me. If it's just an interview, you can't come and see me when you want to. You have to stay in Moktan. Obviously, your intentions aren't that simple. Am I right?" Alan said calmly.

Heath's expression was awkward as he coughed dryly and wanted to speak. The provincial governor from Petty Province said first, "Your Excellency, please speak quickly. After receiving Demoic Ring City's order, although we tried our best to appease him, the people in Petty Province were extremely panicked."

"What are you panicking about? Am I going to kill them?" Alan raised his head.

Heath smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not afraid that His Highness will do this, and His Highness has no reason not to do so." However, these people were already used to the past days. No one knew what would happen after they returned to His Highness' territory. Especially businessmen, should know that established channels and business chains may change depending on the province 's affiliation. "

"It's even a drastic change." Coent emphasized.

Allen smiled, but it was not a kind smile at all. "You don't sound too happy to accept Demoic Ring City's order. Why, you don't want to bow to me?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood." Heath hurriedly said, "We have heard of His Highness Allen's deeds, so we are naturally willing to follow you. However, we hope His Highness will make some changes in the management of the provinces of Reese and Petty. May I know?"

"What kind of workaround?" Alan asked with narrowed eyes.

Coent took a step forward and said, "It's very simple. We will pay the same amount to His Highness Allen as we paid to Demoic Ring City in the past." However, in the management of the province, we hope to retain a certain degree of independence. You should understand, Your Highness. After all, the internal affairs of our province are complicated. If we have to ask His Highness for instructions on everything, it would be too cumbersome. Your Highness is full of ideas. I'm sure you don't want to waste your time on such a thing. "

Ellen laughed and clapped his hands. "You've made such a big circle. So you want your own province to make its own decisions. It's not impossible for you to delegate power, but don't you two feel that this gives you too much power?"

"Or do you think I'm not qualified to manage you? I might as well guess. If I refuse, do you want to disobey some orders?"

Hearing that, Sheen and Coent immediately acted differently. The former's legs trembled and he was sweating profusely. The latter did not know where the courage came from and shouted, "Your Highness, I have to remind you. No matter how much His Majesty thinks of you, you are still not Barre. What do you know about Agares, and what do you know about our province? We pay taxes on time, and you are slightly relaxed about the internal affairs of the province. There is no need for you to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Alan flicked his fingers, and a bright red light shone from his fingertips, crossing Coent's neck. Thus, the overgrown provincial chief fell to the ground and split up.

The atmosphere in the study room froze.

Alan slowly stood up and said, "I think you are mistaken. I am your master, not a partner."

He looked at the adults from the two provinces, including Heath, who were so scared that they knelt on the ground. Alan left the desk and said, "Even Spenak chose to form an alliance with me. How could you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?" Power? I can give it to you, or I can take it back. You were provincial governors and high-ranking officials. But now, as long as I say a word, you can be nothing. You may have deep connections, or you may think that I don't dare to shake your position, so that I won't get the wealth I deserve. But I tell you, talent can be nurtured, and I believe that there are plenty of people waiting to replace you. "

"So don't be too self-righteous. From today onwards, you will be the new provincial governor." Alan casually pointed at a person behind Coent. The person was first confused, then ecstatic. Alan smiled and said, "What's your name?"

He didn't even know his name.
