Chapter 94: Chapter 90: Hope (Vote for monthly pass!)

Byrne looked at the people surrounding the manor outside the gate and always felt that it must not be anything bad—after all, the relationship between the Fischer family and the Nasir townsfolk was extremely cordial.

“Let’s go take a look and find out.”

However, when a few of them arrived at the door, they discovered that the townsfolk were not there to protest or rebel; instead, everyone had brought gifts, eagerly vying to present them to the Fischer family.

Zayne laughed and said, “I really didn’t expect that your reputation here would be so high.”

Before departing in the carriage, Zayne looked down at Byrne who was sending them off and said indifferently,

“Take my advice, compared to winning over the hearts of mortals, the true power you wield is fundamental, and the existence of ordinary people will become increasingly meaningless to your family.”

“I understand!”

Byrne immediately nodded, grateful for Zayne’s advice.

Initially, when the Fischer family was very weak, the connections with ordinary people indeed played a significant role; it was true that they needed to change their mindset going forward.

After all, the vast majority of the world’s resources were in the hands of Extraordinary Exponents.

Three months later, the first factory the Fischer family had decided to establish officially began construction.

The various families and individuals surrounding the Fischer family had almost all invested in the factory, securing their interests more firmly together.

The construction of the pharmaceutical factory attracted a lot of labor. Some were from Nasir Town, while others were from the surrounding villages.

The Fischer family had high expectations for the first factory they established in Nasir Town and planned to build a second one, a food processing plant.

Both factories were expected to bring extremely high profits to the Fischer family.

In the span of three years, including the Collectible-class rare artifact once obtained from Emil, the Fischer family had consecutively sacrificed five Collectible-class mysterious artifacts to the Lord of the Lost.

However, Karl discovered that their effects were getting worse and worse.

It seemed that to break through higher seals, he needed not just more quantity of Spirituality but also higher quality.

In other words, to truly break through the third Seal, he still needed better-quality offerings.

So he issued a divine oracle to inform Irene that the Fischer family no longer needed to sacrifice Collectible-class rare artifacts.

Unfortunately, whether it was the slightly stronger Treasure-class rare artifacts or the Class 4 Extraordinary Materials, none could be bought on the black market or from the Alchemy Council.

Having money alone was not enough; many coveted resources could not be purchased with money, as various families and secretive organizations treasured and hid them.

For instance, you couldn’t buy Forbidden-class rare artifacts with money, even a four-digit numbered Forbidden rare artifact would still cause a frenzy among families on the East Coast.

Finally, an envoy from the Cyart Royal Family arrived.

The Fischer family treated them carefully, and afterward, they learned of the territory allocated to them by the Cyart Royal Family.

“Ourde Village.”

It was close, right on the edge of Nasir Town. You wouldn’t have to go far west to find Ourde Village, which had a population of about a thousand people.

Irene remained silent for a while before saying,

“Ourde is an area that the Kesse family has controlled for decades, surrounded by a forest that yields mysterious creatures, yielding several Class 2 and even Class 3 Extraordinary Materials each year.”

“They won’t sit idly by as we take Ourde from them. It’s one of the Kesse family’s most crucial lands.”

——

Building an entire factory was a large-scale construction project, and Byrne specifically invited experienced individuals from Fein City to guide them to ensure nothing went wrong during the construction process.

In the nearly completed factory, a group of workers was taking a lunch break. Although they were tired, they remained cheerful and energetically chatted among themselves.

They were willing to work for the Fischer family because the Fischer family never defaulted on wages and even provided a hearty lunch.

The lunch consisted of bread, cabbage, potatoes, cheese, a small amount of beer, and various kinds of fish, and occasionally, salt pork was added.

People on the East Coast had long grown tired of fish, but salt pork had great appeal, as the Cyart people’s reserves of meat were relatively low.

A worker, while eating his bread, said in conversation,

“I saw Miss Vanessa in East City the other day, she’s really kind, smiling as she distributed food to the elderly without caring that her boots were getting dirty in the mud.”

Another worker beside him shook his head and said, “It’s a pity about her leg…”

The worker biting his bread said, “Even with a limp, she’s still beautiful. Such an elegant person—if my future wife could also be that elegant, that would be wonderful.”

Everyone burst into laughter, thinking his idea was far-fetched.

“Hahaha, don’t dream on!”

“Go pee on the ground and take a look at your own face to see how much mud is on it!”

Madam Vanessa, the prospective housekeeper of the Fischer family, was a big shot in Nasir Town, and these poor souls were simply not on the same level as her.

Even Madam Vanessa’s attendants were not people they could easily pursue.

Suddenly an old worker said, “I’ve seen Miss Vanessa beating someone in secret.”

What?

Everyone was stunned, surprised that the always graceful and gentle lady would hit someone?

The old worker paused and then said, “But she was hitting a hooligan who was harassing the elderly, thinking he was tough because he had joined the Dagger Brotherhood.”

The Dagger Brotherhood!
