1897 Do You Know Why I Only Kept You Back?

If they said anything against him, the person who said it would be reduced to sustenance for the scary flesh-like ginseng roots. It might even impact the faction supporting them.

Just as the chambers of commerce were about to leave Oak City and report back to their families, the young man said, “I’m not a petty person. The center Oak City might be long solely to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce but the north and south of the cities can still be competed over by the other chambers of commerce.”

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, the expressions of the people leading the chambers of commerce did not change. However, they rolled their eyes to themselves.

How does that make sense? Oak City’s business district is situated at the center of the city. The north and south regions of the city are only filled with the homeless and slums. Those places are filthy. You can go and ask Ding Chengshuo if he even recognizes the north and south of the city as part of Oak City. If we do business there, where will the customers come from? The homeless? Thank you for your generosity but you can save it for the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce!

Although these people had rolled their eyes internally, they also let out breaths of relief.

From what the young man said, he did not intend on taking their lives. How else would they be able to do business in the north and south regions of the city?

Just as the leaders of the chambers of commerce were about to say a few last words to Lin Yuan and try to leave, Lin Yuan went on to say, “I love excitement. I won’t be happy if the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce is the only chamber of commerce in Oak City. I really hope to see all of you build tree castles in the north and south regions of the city.”

Lin Yuan spoke in a lighthearted tone but his words caused the hearts of those leaders of chambers of commerce to sink.

From what Lin Yuan said, they knew that they had no choice but to build chambers of commerce in the north and south regions of the city.

Although Lin Yuan did not say what the consequences of building chambers of commerce in the north and south regions of the city would be, they did not want to wait to find out.

The way that Lin Yuan’s subordinate, or rather that black-robed woman’s method of exterminating the Lu family was going to turn up in the nightmares of all the people present.

The leaders of the chambers of commerce shared looks before they hurriedly said to Lin Yuan, “We will go to the north and south regions of the city to build chambers of commerce now! With our chambers of commerce there, we promise that the north and south regions of the city will be full of activity!”

Lin Yuan did not react at all to this promise but Ding Chengshuo almost exploded with happiness.

Ding Chengshuo had already given up on trying to manage the north and south regions of the city. Moreover, they were not counted as parts of Oak City. They were just slums that the homeless and vagrants had put together after they were barred from entering the main city.

With these chambers of commerce investing money into developing those regions, those regions would be built up very quickly. At that time, Oak City’s domain would have expanded.

Oak City, which was considered one of the more remote cities, would become one of the main cities of the Divine Wood Federation.

It could be said that Ding Chengshuo was the biggest beneficiary of the conflict in Oak City.

Lin Yuan had said what he said because he had a plan of his own.

The nearest city to both Ta Lei’s territory and the underground palace was Oak City.

Since Oak City did not have a large population, it had not been able to thrive in the past years.

Lin Yuan could invest resources into Oak City but not people.

Then, it became necessary for Lin Yuan to develop Oak City. The more developed Oak City was, the better it would be for Lin Yuan.

Now that he had saved the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce and secured resources for them, it would undoubtedly cause the other chambers of commerce to flee Oak City. This was not beneficial for Oak City’s development.

Thus, Lin Yuan offered those two regions to the other chambers of commerce.

When Lin Yuan was searching for the Dark Sun Send Mess Butterflies and Su Yiren, he had visited the north and south regions of Oak City.

Lin Yuan had saved Little Flower and Little Grass from the north part of the city and had encountered the decrepit Su Yiren in the south part of the city.

If those chambers of commerce developed the north and south regions of the city, it would bring a bright future to its inhabitants. He would also be able to benefit their lives while he fulfilled his own goals.

When he heard the assurances of the leaders of the chambers of commerce, Lin Yuan said, “Since all of you are so insistent, let’s do it like you said and have you start developing the north and south regions of the city now. Once you’re done building your chambers of commerce, do send people to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce to give a report. All of you can watch over each other. If any chamber of commerce isn’t doing a good job, you can report them to me. The reporter will be rewarded with items such as this pair of Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts.”

While he spoke, a pair of large scarlet walnuts appeared in his hand and he started turning them slightly in his palm.

Although the leaders of the chambers of commerce had their fair share of experience, they could not help but be stunned by the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts.

If Lin Yuan could casually offer Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts as rewards for reporting, it meant that he did not regard them as important.

Just how wealthy was he?

All of the chambers of commerce resolved to keep close watch over the other chambers of commerce.

Some of the more intelligent leaders of chambers of commerce had already led their teams toward the north and south regions of the city to scout out the area and choose the best locations to build their tree castles.

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

However, the gold-robed man was still standing at the exact same spot. this was because Di Wanmi’s aura was holding him captive and making it difficult for him to even draw breath.

The pressure that Di Wanmi was exerting allowed the gold-robed man to realize the difference in power between him and Di Wanmi and also ground away at his mind.

The gold-robed man came from a secret aristocratic family and was the most likely person amongst everyone present to be aware of the Great Lush Federation’s secrets.

Hence, Lin Yuan wanted to question him properly.

Rather than racking his brain to try to come up with a way to loosen the gold-robed man’s lips, Lin Yuan preferred for the gold-robed man to voluntarily give up all he knew.

At this moment, Lin Yuan looked at the gold-robed man and asked, “After standing for so long, do you know why I only kept you back?”

Lin Yuan’s words caused the gold-robed man’s body to quiver.
