At this moment, the three of them stood there as if thunderstruck.

This couldn’t be possible!

How could a Lord of Glory have amassed such an extremely powerful army in just a few months?

They witnessed his army holding off tens of thousands of sea beasts, even wreaking havoc on the armed forces of the Starshine Islands.

Are you telling them that he’s a Lord of Glory!?

“Why are you feeling so surprised?” Ji Chen glanced at them.

Xhakas quickly said, “No matter what the Lord’s identity is, 1 will remain loyal.”

Just as the other two were about to express their loyalty, Ji Chen waved his hand, “Don’t waste time with meaningless flattery. 1 need your actions, not words.”

“I’m a lord who has always been fair in rewards and punishments. If you perform well, you will be rewarded; if you make mistakes, you will be punished.

As long as you can complete the tasks I assign, everything will be fine.”

The three of them hurriedly saluted in response, but thoughts were brewing in their minds.

It seemed that this Lord they were “forced” to serve not only possessed immense strength but also seemed to be an ambitious individual.

Apart from the rather annoying master-slave contract, they hadn’t been mistreated. In fact, he entrusted them with industries and resources across the entire Starshine Islands, something they had never had before.

The situation… didn’t seem so bad?

Ignoring the three who were lost in thought, Ji Chen left on his own.

In the vast dome-shaped hall, they were left staring at each other.

Xhakas looked around, observing the unchanged council chamber, feeling like he had entered a different world.

Just a few days ago, they were sitting here high and mighty, dressed in suits, casually deciding the fates of many in the Starshine Islands, wielding the highest authority.

Now, returning here once more, they had become servants to others, with their lives at the mercy of someone else.

“I never thought that we would end up like this,” Kieran sighed. “Can we consider this like we had invited trouble into our home? We did stop the sea beast tide, but we lost our wealth and even the entire Starshine Islands.”

“It’s all Hadman’s fault. If it weren’t for his instigation, we wouldn’t be in this situation. Getting blasted by magic was a punishment too lenient on him!” Herman spat on the ground and complained.

“Well, now we can only accept our fate. A contract set by a legendary-level powerhouse is not something we can resist… Xhakas, what do you think?”

Xhakas didn’t respond; he just gave them a cold look and reprimanded, “We should remain loyal to Lord Ji Chen and do more work, rather than secretly complaining here. Loyalty is the highest virtue.”

Kieran and Herman looked a bit taken aback and annoyed.

“You, with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, you’ve quickly embraced your role, huh!?”

“Why didn’t we know you were naturally talented at being a dog!?”

The three of them parted ways, not in the best of spirits.

Xhakas walked out with a cold face, his expression gradually relaxing.

He glanced sideways at the two who were still in the hall, a hint of a cold smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

These two fools. Despiting knowing they had reached this point, they still dared to secretly complain behind the Lord’s back, and clung to their old ways. Weren’t they afraid of the Lord’s blade?

Their foolishness would eventually be his gain. Thinking that the Lord would exclude them and trust him alone. By then, he’d be the one ruling over the Starshine Islands. As a result, Xhakas was feeling quite pleased with himself. With these thoughts in mind, Xhakas’s mood improved slightly, and he left with his hands behind his back.

Halfway up the mountain.

The estate that originally belonged to a certain council member of Starshine City had become spoils of war for the Ocean Crown after the council member died in the previous battle.

This vast and beautiful estate was now temporarily used as Ji Chen’s office.

In a luxurious room.

Ji Chen sat at his desk, leaning back in a soft chair made from the fur of some unknown sea creature, listening to Alice’s report.

Since joining Ji Chen, Alice was exposed to various tasks and developed good administrative abilities alongside her formidable personal strength.

As Wilus and the others were currently on the New Moon Islands, Alice temporarily took on the role of secretary.

“All the resources in the warehouses of the Thirteen Council Families, except for those of Xhakas, Kieran, and Herman, are currently undergoing inventory, but due to the large quantity and disorganized state, it will take several additional days to finish the complete inventory.

However, we have already prioritized the rare resources, the ones you are most concerned about, my Lord. There is a total of four million units of rare resources.”

“This seems a bit low,” Ji Chen frowned and shook his head.

“Yes, indeed,” Alice nodded in agreement, maintaining her poised secretary demeanor. “The Thirteen Council Families and the Starshine Islands don’t have a significant demand for rare resources. Most of their internal and external trade relies on gold coins as the trading currency.”

“So, compared to other things, there aren’t many rare resources, but the quantity of gold coins is quite substantial.”

“At that level of quantity…” Alice recalled the warehouses filled with gold coins she had seen earlier and used an analogy, “It’s piled up like a massive underwater mountain.”

“Oh? Approximately how many are we talking about?”

“Initially estimated to be over thirty million gold coins, with a specific quantity ranging from thirty million to thirty-three million..”
