Chapter 590: Lord Winner. (1/2)

To say that Theo is not surprised would be a lie.

When he used divine sense, Theo realized that they had entered a formation. This was done without his noticing, perhaps because it was harmless to them.

”Want to stay a little longer and find out what's going on in this town?” Theo asked as he turned and looked at his wife and children.

Little Theo looked thoughtful. Looking around, he noticed the formation his dad spoke about. Even he could break this formation, but he wouldn't do it without knowing the real purpose of it. Looking at the people who live in this city, even those who came from villages looking for shelter...

”Dad, are we going to stay and help if possible?” Little Theo looked at him.

Little Yumi was not against what Theo said. Little Emma was neutral, while Yuki wanted to indulge her children.

”Okay, we'll stay in this town for a while then.” Theo smiled a little.

The man walked away from Theo and his family. He thought they were crazy because the conversation they had didn't make any sense to him.

'What do you mean, stay a little in this city, what do you mean formation? What are these crazy people talking about?' After walking away, the man shook his head and sighed, swearing to himself that he wouldn't get involved with them in the future.

Finally making their way into the city, they realized it was an even bigger rush within the city walls.

People were running around, and there were even some well-dressed people sleeping in the street.

It was a hopeless situation.

Theo, Yuki, and the kids saw some stronger ones using ships and spacecraft to float around the city and possibly used them as a dormitory. There were even some with large ships with several rooms using it as a hotel.

After they traveled around town a bit, even ate at a random skewer stand, they fished out a lot of information.

50% tax was levied on those who trade in the city and do not live in the city, that is, those who live in a village and come to seek refuge.

Even the profits they made for the year in their villages were collected to enter the city. If they tried to deny and lie about how much they earned, they would do public execution.

Even city dwellers paid high taxes, reaching up to 47% of the total profit, during monster hordes.

These hordes of monsters can last up to 1 month, and the longest it ever lasted was 3 months.

Yuki commented, ”The lord of this town is a great villain. He's such an asshole, charging such abusive taxes... No wonder there are people living on the street. They must not have the money to even be able to rent a place to live in the city at times like this.”

”This isn't just abusive. There's something clearly wrong with it all.” Theo didn't think it was something as simple as a super high tax.

His senses went in all directions, and he felt that a certain area of ​​the city was trying to prevent him from seeing and hearing what was happening.

”Hehee...” Theo let out a cold chuckle.

Rights? Maybe, he didn't even have to listen to others' private conversations, but it wasn't like he cared, especially if there were so many innocent people suffering and his kids were seeing it.

Soon, what prevented him was broken like a drop of water falling into the ocean, without making much of a ripple, not alarming the owner of the formation that created it.

”Oh, that was silent,” Yuki muttered. She didn't have the confidence to do the same.
