At the reception hall in the city in the sky.

“Watson, on behalf of Fairy Castle, I’ve already signed a contract with you. Now, I will sign another contract with you on behalf of Fairy Town.”

Sylvan sat across from Watson as he handed him a stack of heavy paperwork that he had drafted.

According to their agreement, all forces at the border would be under Watson’s command. Initially, the border consisted of a castle and four towns. Watson had signed contracts with Fairy Castle, Fairy Town, and Monte Town.

“Now, there’s only Torch Town and Vermillion Town to sign the contract. I’ve already arranged for people to guard the rooms of the mayors of Torch Town and Fairy Town. They’ll bring them here when they wake up.”

Watson took the contract and gave it a quick glance. He nodded when he saw there was no problem. Then, he turned to Gerant, who sat next to Sylvan, and said, “Mayor Gerant, it appears that you’ve signed the contract without completely reading it. There is still a lot of time. Are you sure you do not want to take a closer look at it?”

Other people regarded the contract he drafted as an overlord clause. He had not expected Gerant to accept it so quickly.

“Young Master Watson, you are overly courteous. It is a privilege to be a business partner with Blackmoon Town. I concur with the content of your clause.” Gerant rubbed his hands; a flattering expression appeared on his face.

True, he did not read the terms and conditions carefully because there was no reason to do that. Watson had told more than 100,000 Blackmoon Town citizens to wish at the same time to summon all the goldbiter rats at the border and fuse them into the Heaven-devouring Rat King. He also invoked the Land of the Dead to kill Moriarty. He had witnessed everything.

Blackmoon Town’s power had already surpassed his expectations. He suspected that the Fairy Castle was not as powerful as Blackmoon Castle. He instinctively glanced at the adoring Sylvan, and his doubts evaporated. He was confident that Fairy Castle was definitely not as strong as Blackmoon Castle.

Even the amazing border count had to fawn over Watson. What gave him, a mere mayor of Monte Town, the right to be unique? Furthermore, he had already considered it. He did not require much if they were to become a subsidiary of Blackmoon Town. Everything was alright as long as Watson rewarded him with some platinum-tier Wish for the World rings.

If he could get a few hundred of such items, Monte Town’s strength would expand tenfold in a short time. Then, the things that hung outside the shops on the streets of Blackmoon Town would not be silver or gold-tier objects. They would be platinum-tier items instead.

He smiled when he remembered that scene.

On the one hand, he had signed without reading the contract since he could not oppose Blackmoon Town anyway. On the other hand, he had worked with Watson, and they had gotten along swimmingly. He was confident that Blackmoon Town would not deceive him.

“It seems like you are a straightforward individual, Mayor Gerant. Then I will not waste my time! Torch Town is a simple problem to solve. Lubin has arrived. I treated his and Mayor Andre’s injuries with high-quality medicinal plants from Blackmoon Town. I am not concerned that he will not agree. Next, we need Vermilion City. I am curious when their folks will arrive.”

Watson drank a sip of tea from the cup on the table. “In terms of Vermilion Town, the distance between their town and Blackmoon Castle is almost the same as it is between Torch Town and Blackmoon Castle. The residents of Torch Town are present, so why are they not here? Do not tell me they do not intend to attend this meeting.”

“If you are concerned, Watson, I can use a spell to help you speed things up,” Sylvan said. His expression had darkened. If Vermilion Town did not send representatives, it signified that they did not honor his words. They did not think of him as the border count.

“There is no need to go to such lengths. They will arrive eventually.”

As long as the other three towns had signed their contracts with Blackmoon Castle, things would improve; only Vermillion Town remained. When he noticed that everyone else had gotten stronger while he remained the same, he got envious.

Suddenly, the door opened while they were in a conversation.

“Young Master Watson, the two mayors have awoken, and I’ve brought them here to see you.”

A servant walked in from outside the door, followed by Andre, and the pale-looking Lubin was in the servant’s arms. His legs were weak, and he continued to tremble. He could not even walk on his own.

“Mayor Lubin, you’re just in time. We were discussing you! Torch Town will become a subordinate of Blackmoon Town, and Blackmoon Castle will provide you with some assistance. Please sign the contract if you can agree to it.”

Watson walked in front of Lubin, handed him the document as he directed him to sign it.

Watson noticed Lubin’s frail appearance and asked, “Mayor Lubin, what’s wrong? You don’t look too well. Do you want me to send someone to prepare some high-quality medicinal herbs for you to replenish your body?”

“Young Master Watson, Mayor Lubin is not feeling well because—”

The servant was ready to explain when Lubin stared at him and cut him off. “Stop talking! I am not feeling ill, Young Master Watson. I merely fainted, and my body had not done that in a long while.”

The reason he was ill was solely due to that servant’s inability to make good decisions. He had summoned a diamond-tier magical beast in front of Lubin, and that had frightened him to the point that his knees were still weak.

The magical beast had rendered him unconscious. It was too embarrassing to tell people about it, so he preferred to keep it to himself.

Initially, his mission to Blackmoon Castle was to persuade Sylvan to change his mind and let Torch Town control the border. As a result, he had brought a cart full of valuables.

The individual who had stolen his treasures had yet to be apprehended, but he did not care. Even if his valuables were not lost, they were insignificant in comparison to Blackmoon Town. Most of the items he carried were gold-tier items, but everyone in Blackmoon Town had a platinum-tier item.

His valuables had significantly lower quantity and quality.

He had no idea why Blackmoon Castle was so wealthy. Even if he moved the entire Torch Town there, it would be insignificant in comparison. That made him very envious, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was well aware that he had no choice but to sign the deal.

When he looked at the contract in his hands, he realized that the terms favored Blackmoon Town. Lubin appeared to be in a state of anguish. “I want to ask everyone here, including Lord Sylvan, if they have all signed that contract?” he asked.

“Yes, Fairy Castle, Fairy Town, and Monte Town have signed the contract. Only Torch Town and Vermillion Town have yet to sign it.”

Gerant wore a solemn expression on his face. “Lubin, you can’t sign the contract if you believe it is unfair to Torch Town.”

He wished Lubin would not sign it; it would allow Monte Town to have more power.

“Gerant, when did you become so concerned about me? If you do not want me to sign it, then I am required to do so.”

Lubin snorted harshly as he signed the contract. He and Gerant were competitors; if Gerant did not want him to sign the deal, it meant that it was advantageous to him. Plus, Lord Sylvan had already signed. What did he have to say if he did not sign it?

Gerant displayed a sorrowful expression on his face when he realized he had failed to persuade Lubin.

“Even though I signed the contract, Young Master Watson, the details of the contract are a little...Well, I would like to ask you a question. You said that you would support Torch Town. What do you mean precisely?”

Lubin asked with a troubled expression. The contract was riddled with tyrannical clauses. Even though he knew Blackmoon Town was wealthy and did not need to deceive him, he was still concerned.

“Do not be concerned, Mayor Lubin. You are now Blackmoon Town’s partner since you’ve signed the deal. Blackmoon Town is always kind to its partners! I am not sure whether you have heard the phrase—if you want to get rich, construct a road first. Every route leads to the kingdom.”

Lubin was perplexed by Watson’s half-smile. “Yes, I have heard that. King Landhar I, the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s founder, had said that. He was able to open up his territory back then because he built a route between each fortress. It enabled the fast transfer of resources and troops, allowing the adversary to be defeated before they could even react! That was a pivotal moment in history. The battle was dubbed the Lightning Attack and Defense War!”

That saying was well known across the kingdom. He did not know why Watson would ask that question. What did he mean?

As he thought of something, Lubin’s expression changed.

“It seems like you finally know what I meant to do, Mayor Lubin. Yes, the first beneficial thing I want to do for the three towns is to build a tunnel connecting them!”

Watson approached the door with his hands behind his back. His voice was soft, yet it shook the entire room.

“Mayor Lubin, you have misplaced something in Blackmoon Town. I have caught the perpetrator and punished him severely. Unfortunately, there is no way to recover the items. In exchange, we will build the road from Blackmoon Town to Torch Town first. A new era is on its way. I want to ask everyone here—are you ready to welcome the change in the world?”

Watson stretched his combat aura wings and transformed into a streak of light as soon as his voice fell. He flew out of the gate and into the sky above the city.

Everyone in the hall swarmed out like bees, arriving at the outskirts of the metropolis in the sky. Many maids and servants there gazed reverently at Watson. They talked in whispers about what was to happen. It was not only them, but the Blackmoon Knights and Watson’s family members peered out of their chambers as well.

It was a startling occurrence every time Watson performed something. At the time, no one knew about the earth-shattering actions Young Master Watson would take.

Watson extended his right hand toward the ground, drawing everyone’s attention. “Come forth, goldbiter rats!”

Boom!

The ground shook, and a swarm of goldbiter rats dug into it. Each rat carried a platinum-colored ore in its jaws and bolted in the direction Watson had indicated, heading west of the town. They dashed westward with the wall as a starting point, depositing the ore in their jaws to pave a long platinum-tier tunnel.

The goldbiter rats carried the ores from Dragonspine Snow Mountain. While Lubin and Andre were unconscious, Watson consoled Sven before taking Gerant and the others to the city in the sky to sign the deal. Simultaneously, he broke the newly fused Heaven-devouring Rat King into numerous underlings and used a long-distance teleportation spell to reach the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. They managed to transport a portion of the platinum-tier ore that he had fused previously.

The platinum-tier ores strewn over the earth mirrored the sunshine in the sky, dazzling everyone’s eyes. Everyone’s mouths sprang open in amazement. However, they were even more stunned when Watson clenched his fist and yelled at the platinum-tier ores strewn across the ground.

“Fusion system, activate!”
