Jefferson sat in the main seat, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

"Smith, do you really think that Lord Dolai doesn't care about anything?"

The middle-aged Smith stood below, smiled slightly, and slowly spoke, "The fact that I can get this position now is enough to explain everything. I am now your deputy. I have this project on hand, and it was proposed by a noble family in the empire. They will provide many opportunities for Albis City. If it passes, it will be gone. I also want to seize this opportunity."

Jefferson sneered, "Smith, everyone knows how you got to this position. I still have one thing to say. If you want to embezzle, sell the land to others, or embezzle that part of the funds, I advise you to reconsider. Besides, I only have the right to one-third of the funds. If you want to move, you have to convince others. The families in the imperial capital, whether it is the Edward family or any other family, Wizard Dolai doesn't care much."

When Smith heard this, he sneered in his heart.

Dole really didn't care. He was already level eight, so how could he care about anyone? Unless a level nine took action, no one could do anything to him. He had already found a way to bribe most of the officials in the Ministry of Commerce. As long as he could get the money, he could continue to erode these officials and find ways to corrupt Albis Mountain.

The public opinion in Dolai has been slightly shaken by them. The formulation of some policies has already affected the interests of ordinary people, so they have to continue testing.

"Then don't bother you to worry about it. Just agree to it. You'll understand after it's done." Smith said nonchalantly.

Jefferson snorted. Their family was the first to dislike Dole. When he heard this, his heart was slightly moved.

The other party wants to cause trouble in the city of Albis. Last time, an inexplicable policy was suddenly introduced, which almost caused many people to fight. Now it happens again. I'm afraid there is a problem?

But if others agree, what does it matter if I disagree?

He nodded slightly and said, "Tomorrow is a routine meeting. As long as this matter is passed in the meeting, I have no problem."

…

Elleya likes to play outside, but now that she is pregnant, she can only look outside and sigh.

It will take dozens of days to unload the goods, so annoying.

I can only use my clone to play, but the clone doesn’t have the same feeling as the original. Dolai wants to do experiments again, what a joke.

She thought about it and decided that she had no choice but to split herself and go out to look for Ash and the two children to see who would go out.

Elleya's clone was successfully condensed and soon arrived at Ashe's door.

Ashe's door was closed, as if she was also in seclusion.

Elleya was a little angry, so she came to the door of Monica's room.

Not everyone is off-limits to the City Lord's Mansion, nor are only officials allowed to come. Monica and Brian have some children, teachers, etc. who can also come in after obtaining the housekeeper's consent.

At this time, in Monica and Brian's yard, several little boys were either sitting, lying or standing in the yard, looking sad.

Wow, these two little guys are so popular. Not long after they came back, friends already come to visit them.

However, she noticed that these friends were all children from relatively outstanding families with decent character. There were also two children from ordinary families who seemed to be somewhat inferior and fearful.

At this time, Monica was questioning someone harshly.

"No, Dad won't do that. Dad won't care about these things at all. Who agreed to them doing this?"

Although Monica is only three and a half years old, under the attack of Dolai's Life Essence, she seems to be six or seven years old. Her learning and knowledge are no less than that of a ten-year-old girl.

She was very angry at this time.

Standing in front of Monica, a little boy about six years old spread his hands and said helplessly, "Princess Monica, this is the fact. We have been separated from the seventh and eighth graders and went to school separately. The teacher has also been transferred. The current teacher is a jerk. He even touched Ava's butt a few days ago."

Hearing this, Monica's face darkened and she seemed even angrier.

She had only been away for half a year, how come she had become like this when she came back?

Brian is still a little younger now, but he also objected, "Dad would never do such a thing. Was it Uncle Anderson and the others who did it? This is very unfair to civilians."

"Who else but the city lord would dare to give such an order?" said another child.

The children suddenly fell silent.

Monica was very angry. These were her good playmates at school. As soon as she came back, she heard that everyone was separated. She was really distressed.

The seventh and eighth brothers were the two commoners' children, standing in the corner, not daring to make a sound.

When Elleiya heard this, she seemed to understand what had happened and felt a little curious. No wonder Dolai had said a few days ago that something interesting was going to happen in the city.

But it seems that what Dole said was fun had a great impact on these children.

Elleiya frowned.

No wonder my father always said that as a ruler, you need to be careful with your words and actions, otherwise it will affect tens of millions of people. Dolai did nothing, but others made a move and affected the lives of nearly tens of thousands of people.

Although these tens of thousands of people are only a small part of the city's population.

She did not go in, but changed her appearance and walked out of the city. She planned to take a look outside.

As a princess of a country, although Elleiya usually doesn't take care of anything, she has a lot of knowledge.

In this world, if a princess has the opportunity, she can also become an emperor.

…

After Dolai's clone finished processing the metal, he stopped processing materials.

High-grade materials require very high precision and cannot afford to be careless at all. He can forget about participating in the experiment this month.

But it's a good time to do other things.

A lot of things actually happened during the six months that I was away. Those people had infiltrated my current industry in all aspects, including city management, economic corruption, mines, and smelters.

They did not succeed in taking over the mines and smelters, but they planted a lot of people there. After all, those were not the territories of their little slaves, and without their personal instructions, they would not listen to anyone except Gretel and Eugene. As for the political, business, industrial and agricultural sectors, these people had infiltrated quite deeply.

Albis is a city mainly based on agriculture. Mines are just a byproduct. There is also a college and tourism, but there is no industry. These people, relying on their powerful abilities, have increased the price of food here by a full 10% in almost half a year.

Although it is only 10%, don't underestimate it. It is enough to have a great impact on the income of the grassroots people.

If grain prices rise by 10%, the price of food made from it will increase by 50%, and the living standards of urban residents will drop rapidly.

Autumn passed and winter came, and these people were still trying to raise the price of food a little bit. It is estimated that some people will not be able to survive.

Dolai's heart had long been cold. No matter who it was, if they went against him, they would all die.

Ivy was not in the city, and apart from the Glory Wizard Alliance, Dole was the only one left, without even a confidant. However, this did not hinder Dole's ability to suppress everything.
