Over the next few days, Yoder worked tirelessly, traveling to various trading venues in the town, both public and private. After four days of traveling and gathering information, Yoder arrived at the town hall.
With the help of a group of managers, this detailed report was finally completed successfully. After carefully checking it and confirming that there were no omissions, Yoder personally handed the report to Martin.
In the room, Martin was concentrating on reading the report and was really surprised. He had never expected that such a small town could secretly hold such a complicated business.
However, the taxes involved in these transactions were pitifully small, and many were not even paid at all. Thinking of this, Martin's anger suddenly rose. It seemed that he had to use tough measures.
As soon as the armor arrives tomorrow, we'll be ready to take action against those tax evaders.
In the past few days, Martin went to the Demon Copper Mine and harvested 4,000 energy. He also put the remaining ore worth 34,000 into the space ring, filling up a total of 34.
Peter's Auction House made a significant contribution to this. Martin then headed to Sunset Valley. Amidst the crowd's cries of "loyalty," he deducted 72,500 energy points and successfully promoted 360 people to knights.
Among those who awakened fastest after their promotion, ten were selected, three of whom were promoted to Silver Knights and seven to Bronze Knights. Thus, the Knights of the Dawn were officially established.
The system opened the panel and displayed: Host: Martin, Level: Zero, Sworn Guards: Five Hundred and Eighty-Two, Energy: Thirty-One Thousand Five Hundred.
On the fifth day, Martin had a rare moment of leisure and nothing to do, so he decided to call Manfeng over to check his loyalty. However, he discovered that Manfeng's loyalty had not increased, but had decreased.
Martin was full of doubts. He had brought him out of prison and treated him to delicious food and drink, so how could this happen? So Martin asked Man Feng, "How have you been these days?"
Man Feng answered carelessly: "I eat well and sleep well, but I lack women. Lord, can you find me some women?" Eric, who was standing next to him, was furious when he heard this.
He immediately scolded her, "How could you be so ungrateful! The young master rescued you from prison, treated you well, and you actually take it for granted?"
Man Feng didn't care that Martin was right in front of him and started cursing, "The Lord is willing to give me food and let me sleep well, what does it have to do with you? You are meddling in other people's business!"
After hearing this, Martin hurriedly stopped Eric, but then suddenly laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I didn't consider letting you have a woman to accompany you. It's my fault. I thought you were a talented person.
Now it seems... I really thought things were too simple. I thought that as long as I saved your life and provided you with good food and drink, you would be loyal to me."
Martin's face darkened immediately, and he said to Eric, "Eric, take Manfeng to the Demonic Copper Mine. This is Manfeng's slave contract. Give it to William and tell him to make Manfeng vomit out a hundred times the amount of food and water he's eaten and used these days. If Manfeng dies before he finishes vomiting, I'll hold him responsible!"
After that, he waved his hand, signaling Eric to use the power of the Knight to imprison Manfeng and take him to the Demonic Copper Mine. Martin still felt unsatisfied, so he took out the communication crystal and sent a message to William.
The call was quickly connected, and Martin gave a stern order, "Eric will send someone over later. Have him dig non-stop 23 hours a day. Find ten knights to monitor him the entire time, and ensure he's fully supplied with potions. Don't let him die!"
After hearing this, William quickly agreed. It was the first time William saw the young master so angry, and he wondered in his heart who had provoked the young master like this.
An hour later, Eric brought Manfeng to the Demonic Copper Mine. After removing the restraints, he threw Manfeng to the ground. Seeing this, William hurriedly asked, "Is this the person the young master instructed? How did he offend the young master?"
Eric thought about it and told the whole story: "The young master saw that this man had some talent, so he brought him out from the death row prison and arranged for him to stay in a hotel and entertain him with good food and drink.
Who would have thought that when the young master asked him how he was doing, the boy actually said that he ate well and slept well, but he just lacked women, and asked the young master to find him some women.
"Tell me, isn't this courting death?" William looked at the "weirdo" on the ground in surprise. After understanding the whole story, William said hello to Eric and walked into the mine with the terrified Manfeng, and did what Martin asked.
After Eric left with Manfeng, Martin thought bitterly, "I've been so naive and oversimplified. How could I possibly possess such a powerful aura? Without the system's help, I'd probably be nothing more than a useless, living a life of idleness and waiting for death."
Martin, feeling very upset, planned to go out for some entertainment after Eric came back. This time he would go to the open-air theater to listen to some music to dispel the gloom in his heart and calm his mood.
He decided to wait for Eric to come back in the room and read some books to kill time. After all, he would feel uneasy when he was away from home without some protection.
At that moment, the communication crystal suddenly lit up. Martin picked it up and answered it. It was Conrad, who informed Martin that the knight armor had been delivered to Luoqiu Town.
Martin asked him to deliver the knight armor to the hotel. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Martin opened it and saw Conrad. Conrad entered and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master Martin, these are the four hundred sets of D-rank knight armor you requested."
