Ann was lookingroo lady no longer looked as pained anyh a convict on the defendant’s seat apprehensively waiting for the judge to announce his judgment

“I’ve understood your situation”

Rhode said without any hesitation Ann shi+vered and looked at the man before her However, before she had the chance to speak, Rhode swiftly spoke his mind

“Miss Clark, you can stay inmore than a sequela left froed with your soul and can’t be removed You can only accept your fate that you’ll need to live on with this energy for the rest of your life But you don’t need to worry about this I will get someone to resolve this problem for you If you wish to stay in Land of Atonement, you will need to work for me What do you think? Miss Clark, I don’t keep any subordinates who idle around doing nothing”

Rhode’s frightening words weren’t just to scare her off In fact, it was the truth Even though Anne always ate and slept all day, she showed outstanding deterh Christie had no contributions in battle, she was still responsible for designing the Constructs for Lapis in the alchemy workshop If Ann were to stay in the fortress, she would need to do soree!”

Ann nodded without any hesitation This was her last hope as only death awaited her if Rhode didn’t lend a helping hand to her And now, since the Sir Overlord illing to provide shelter for her, she illing to do whatever he wanted!

“Good”

Rhode nodded in satisfaction before turning around

“Agatha, prepare a rooood rest and we’ll discuss everything else tomorrow”

“Okay… Thank you verydown the burden that had been bugging her for a long ti her heavily She had been drowned in despair, worries, and the fear of death along the way She hadn’t had a good sleep in a while Ever since she was forced to leave her hoht had been torturous to her Back then, surviving had becoant hope for her But now, the dark clouds clouding her mind finally dispersed She bowed respectfully to Rhode and left the drawing roo to the two young ladies

“Marlene, Miss Clark will te tomorrow You can let her play second fiddle and I think she’s capable of that I hope that you can educate her with soy so as to avoid her worrying if she will beco corpse one day”

“Yes, Mr Rhode”

Marlene let out a chuckle and nodded swiftly However, she knew that Rhode was serious about his reical knowledge treated all h the curse of the Devils As a Mage, Marlene definitely wouldn’t tolerate such ignorant behavior In fact, even if Rhode didn’t ht time to talk to Ann about it After all, this problem wasn’t a small one

Humans were always afraid of the unknown and deep fear would only lead to two outcomes: one would either escape or yield to extreme fear It was just like the phrase ‘if you can’t beat theifted strength failed to overco fro they feared thethat they were afraid of anymore

“Lize”

Rhode turned around

“I guess this hout the entire Land of Atone to the Church about this Inform them about the truth and seek their corporation”

“No problereed without any hesitation After receiving their affirmations, Rhode finally felt relieved

In fact, even though Rhode had acted apathetically to Ann, he actually valued her highly as she would be a great addition to his forces

In fact, when he had heard froht assistance from them, an idea cropped up in his head Rhode lacked manpower the most In terms of politics, the schoolaps But there was a distinct shortco in another aspect—and that was business

Even though Rhode had been working with several trade associations, they were simply partners, after all The only merchant he had authority over was Matt But Rhode wouldn’t hand over every business operations to the fat s in one basket Secondly, Matt was a wily old fox, after all Although he worked ith Rhode, he was still an adult who had gone through challenging experiences while cli up the business world and cultivated his personality and independence Even though he felt delightful working with Rhode, it wasn’t possible for him to stay loyal Moreover, Matt had built up his own career from scratch and there were many times he wished to be responsible for his own business This was a factor of objective Rhode couldn’t possibly request Matt to sell his faive all his life to hireat candidates on hand and could only temporarily make do hat he had Marlene was born in a noble faeneral picture, she held the arrogance of the nobles and wasn’t interested in interacting with lower classes like thea traveling e didn’t match her at all

He didn’t need to consider Lize as a choice because while shelady, kindness would be a lethal flaw as a reat in this aspect either As for the others… They weren’t even worth
