Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Not even two minutes passed from the time Conrad Wagner said that until the Wagner Clan members handed over everything.

They were so cowed that they even ran away after doing so, leaving the scene in a strange silence.

Neither Matt nor Alice thought that the first confrontation between Matt and an Heir would end that way.

Matt didn't know it right now, and even Conrad hadn't realized that losing so easily was solely due to the blood suppression Matt had in him.

Matt then looked at the other members of the Allen Clan and asked them to fix Paul Cox; they would talk in a moment.

.

An hour later, Paul Cox was ready, and they all gathered at the mansion that these businessmen had at this location.

No one talked about that fight because they all now respected Matt even more and were afraid to offend him. While he had fought one of the weakest current Heirs, it was a person who was way out of Matt's age range.

Despite that, he managed to beat him with astonishing ease.

'It's best to be respectful. It seems that Lord Gray really doesn't make a mistake when he chooses.' That's what they thought.

And Matt was the first to open his mouth. "I came here this time to take Paul Cox with me. Since I'm already back, it's time to put him in a better place so he won't be disturbed," he said, nodding to Paul, who looked embarrassed but very grateful to Matt.

"Thank you, Young Master." He spoke sincerely.

Matt then looked at the members of Clan Allen. "Since I was chosen as the next Clan Leader, I must be concerned for the welfare of those in the Clan. I understand what Gray Allen wants to do, and I know it's something important to his plans, but honestly, I don't like the idea of my people finding themselves up against the wall in the face of an invasion situation.

That's why I came here with another idea in mind." Matt pulled out a map and opened it in front of everyone.

"There is no way this city will be erased from this place because it is very important for the economy of the kingdoms and various races; its location really is quite good, but eventually, they will realize that the location is good for trade, but very bad for everything in general, because of what I mentioned earlier.

If you look at it correctly, the amount of investment the Clans are making in this area has decreased since 50 years ago; it's because they don't want to lose too much in case of an invasion."

"Eventually, everyone will figure that out, and this place could become a desolate place in 100 years, even when it's very good for the economy, for lack of protection. That's why we need to move from here." Matt said.

"But, Young Leader, even if we understand that, where will we move to? Very few cities have a position as good as this one. Even among the nearby territories it is quite complicated to get such perfect terrain as this. So even if many leave, in the end, we'll all end up leaving for the central regions of the Kingdom, and all the best economic areas will be forgotten."

Matt smiled, "Actually, it's not as difficult as you think. While I was looking at the map of the Kingdom these past few days I found a place that has a very good position within the Kingdom's territory and where roads can be built to the territories of different races. Also, it already has a main road where trips circulate to the richer Kingdom and from where they can go out to different kingdoms."

"Oh? Where is that?" they asked in shock. Matt moved his hand across the map until he reached a section that made the businessmen frown.

'The position is certainly good. And while the investment to build the roads and the City as such would be immense, it can be done with the Clan's support. But...' Several of them were astonished that such a good location existed at a considerable distance from here.

That place had open doors to trade on all sides, as long as the roads were built right.

But it had one big problem, for which one of them shook his head and looked at Matt.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you want is for us to follow you, right, Young Leader?" he asked. He was the Company Leader who had worked on the founding of the Western Trade City, so he had a lot of experience in this.

Matt didn't hide it. "Well, that's just what I want. But I can see you're having trouble, not with that, but with something else."

That man sighed. "Young Leader, honestly, following you, I think, would be a very good thing. The project you have thought of is quite ambitious. Wanting to reorganize a Trade City as large as this one in another location and under your leadership is a great move. But this shows me that you are not very old in the Clan." He looked at the map, the place where Matt was pointing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Back then, while investigating where the Trade City should be built, we also studied that place. It's not a very hidden place, but it's certainly a great one, and it was our first choice."

"But even when there were two Vampire Clans mediating then, the Leaders of those territories didn't want to sell us even a portion of it to build, nor did they want to cooperate."

"Perhaps you don't know this, but the Leaders of those territories are from the Royal Family, from the former King, the father of the current Dark King. He is a very stubborn man with his territories and has quite a bit of power. Even Lord Gray couldn't convince him even though he respects him greatly. There is no way to build there." He replied.

Matt didn't know this, but he smiled and pulled out a few documents. "Hahaha, if that's the case, I don't think there will be any problem. Please check so you understand who the current Leader of those lands is."

They frowned and were tempted to read it. Although they knew the obvious answer would be that stubborn old man, when they read a little and saw the person's name, they looked up sharply to see him.

They didn't even know what to say, so Matt spoke first. "You see? I have the land. And although the amount of money required to do this project is immense, I believe that, if I have your support, we can get it done in the short term." He spoke.

They were so stunned that they couldn't even respond. 'Did the Young Leader manage to buy that land? No, not only those. From the territory of several Marquises and a part of some Dukes... Even the territory that had been given to that girl, Emma Lewis, is in his hand. What the hell?' They were in shock.

They weren't the only ones, though. Matt inside was just the same. He didn't expect those lands to belong to the former King. 'Looks like Emma even gave me the lands that belonged to her from before... This girl doesn't seem to care about anything.' But he was actually happy about this.

His mission was to develop his own territory, for which he would use all his knowledge. Gaining the favor of powerful people is a way to develop. He has a lot of plans in mind, but he will go part by part in order not to get overwhelmed. The first part of it was to convince these guys to join him, which didn't seem to be a difficult task…
