"Kelf, I have a brother who wants to eat from the big pot."
The young man Xia Lan met at the dock excitedly took to her workshop, where an old man was doing carpentry with several apprentices.
Pushing the door open, Xia Lan focused her attention on a bald man with bronze strength, a face full of scars, and bright eyes. He must have killed someone before.
Comparing him with Frederick, this gangster is already very qualified except that he does not have the momentum of commanding thousands of troops.
"Sit down and talk."
The old carpenter put down his work and asked the two to sit down and talk in detail. The gangster that Xia Lan thought was a big boss respectfully moved a chair for him.
"Ahem... Old man, are you Kelf?"
The old carpenter nodded, not understanding why Xia Lan asked this.
"That's great. I'm meeting you. Neil said the lower class people are having a hard time, and I'm here to solve the problem."
Neil was confused. Didn’t he say he would join the gang? Why did he change his mind?
"I wonder how you solved it?"
Kailf asked calmly. He was respected by everyone only because of his high moral character. When fighting for territory, he could just lie on the ground and there was nothing he couldn't solve.
In Triumph City, they cannot act like gangsters and shout for war and killing. Otherwise, not only will the sheriff not forgive them, but the gang members who want to live a peaceful life will not support them either.
"I heard that most of the Kelf family are porters at the docks. We can definitely set up a freight company."
Kelf knew that "Company" was His Majesty's nickname for a business, but the Kelf family seemed to be similar to a company.
"What good is this?"
Xia Lan sat up confidently. "Old man, the kingdom is developing, society is progressing, and the Church of Knowledge is in Boravice. You can ask them to design a transport viaduct to reduce costs."
Kelf was at a loss, "Will they help us?"
"This is the role of the company. You can borrow money from Blue Dragon Bank in the name of the company as the company's original capital. As for the matter of the Church of Knowledge, I will handle it. Why not give it a try?
If even the downfall of the Church of Knowledge can't help a company grow, are there any miracles left in this world?"
"You are either you or the one who paid the money on behalf of Blue Dragon Bank..."
Neil was stopped mid-sentence by Kelf, "As long as the Church of Knowledge helps design the elevated transport platform you mentioned, I will follow you."
"It's a deal."
After saying this, Xia Lan turned and left.
"How could you believe his lies? From the moment we met until now, I have no idea which of his words are true and which are false."
Neil was obviously heartbroken by Xia Lan. From the time they met at the dock until now, the man had slowly gained his trust and deceived his feelings just to find the Kalph behind them.
He really treated Xia Lan as a brother, otherwise he would not have recruited him.
"Okay, Neil, I have another job this afternoon, and the furniture I promised someone else needs to be finished quickly."
Of course, Kailf didn't believe this guy who suddenly appeared and told lies all the time. He just treated it as a pastime during his break.
After sending the sad young man out the door, Kelf and his apprentices sped up their work.
…
There was a tavern in Triumph City. Kelf and his ferocious apprentices pushed aside the guards and rushed in with murderous intent.
"Where's Maca? Get him out of here. He's stealing my business."
The frail and elderly Kelf spoke with great authority. This newly opened pub was not far from the pub run by Kelf's family and had taken away their business, which made him very angry.
"Old sir, please don't disturb the guests."
An employee quickly blocked Kailf. The old man looked at his hands blocking his chest, looked around, and finally gave his apprentices a look.
"Bang!"
The old guy just slept on the ground, hugging his chest and rolling around on the ground.
"There's a fight going on in a tavern, Your Honor, they're fighting!"
The tavern employee who tried to stop the man was at a loss. He looked at the palm of Kelf's hand and thought: Could it be that I have awakened and become a transcendent?
"Hey, old man, the ground is cold, get up."
Xia Lan brought a fat man to pull Kelf up.
"Why are you here?"
Before Kelf could ask Xia Lan's name.
"Let's talk business. This is my partner, Mr. Maka, the chairman of the postal company."
Xia Lan was still dressed the same way as she was this morning, but she had a more business-like shrewdness about her and her speech was more superior.
"Al, I know this old guy. Don't worry about him. He'll be gone soon. Let's continue talking about the company."
Makara took Xia Lan and left, as if he completely ignored his old rival Kelf, or he thought that the two of them were no longer on the same level. With Mr. Al's help, a mere block game was too much of a joke.
Kailf didn't know what was going on, so he could only take his apprentices back to figure out the situation first.
After being helped home by his apprentices and sleeping for a night, Kailf decided to find Feng Luo to discuss the strange things that happened yesterday.
Although Feng Luo was young, he was a wandering poet who had traveled all over Zilan Island. He not only had a wide range of knowledge, but had also been to the upper city several times.
However, he was busy writing and could not afford the high cost of living in Dawn City, so he planned to wait until he became a top poet before returning.
"What, you want to start a newspaper company?"
"Yes, Kelf, the kingdom is developing and society is progressing. We need to change. After all, times have changed."
After leaving his friend's house, Kelf was worried about doing carpentry. In recent days, Triumph City has become inexplicable, with all kinds of strange companies popping up.
Printing companies, advertising companies, shipbuilding companies, liquor companies...
All the groups that used to get together are busy starting their own businesses, and no one wants to play with him anymore.
"Is this the Kelf family's house?"
Kelf and his apprentices stopped what they were doing and saw a young man walking in with a white-haired man.
"I'm Kelf, you are..."
Seeing that the two men were not dressed like ordinary people, Kailf asked carefully.
Merlin glanced around the carpentry shop and said, "Hello, I'm Merlin, the Chief Alchemist of the Kingdom of Faox. This is Tou Meng Ziwen, the Son of God of the Church of Knowledge. We're here to discuss company matters."
"The company again... Wait, who is he?"
Kailf showed a look of shock on his face, and pointed at the silent Tomazven in disbelief and asked.
"The Son of Knowledge appeared in Ziwen's dream..."
