"Really?" Theros muttered, apparently stunned by the news.

"Of course, I want you to be in charge of this firm. Alan said lightly, "I think you can spread this trading house all over the kingdom or even the entire continent!"

"Yes, I can!" Theros, who had recovered from his recovery, was attracted by the great expectations depicted by Allen, and his fiery heart could not help it.

"It's good, it's great that you have this confidence. Alan praised it, and then said with a blow: "But this business house has to be formed by you!"

"No problem, leave it to me. Theros looked excited, and admired Allen even more in his heart, he was able to get the method of making glass, but he knew that many great lords couldn't get this.

"Then you go to the Black Bear and ask him to help you set up a trading house. Alan thought for a while and said, this matter should be left to Black Bear and Theros, and he can be a quiet beautiful man himself.

"Okay, I got it!" Theros said with a heavy nod.

"You can live here with the black bear first, and then I'll arrange a place for you to stay!" After all, he is the vice consul of Kegang City, so he still has to be given a better treatment.

Alan pondered for a moment, then left Theros at the Black Bear's house and left, after all, it was almost night.

I didn't expect to talk to Theros so late, Alan suddenly thought of Millie's words during the day, rubbed his head with a little headache, and sped up the pace of returning to the manor, making the knight who followed behind feel strange.

As he walked on the road, Alan felt more and more that he had to prepare a few carriages.

Alan thought that next time he would say something to the black bear, he shook his head and continued to walk towards the manor.

Thanks to the quickening of the pace, Alan returned to the manor very just in time, so there was no murderous spirit in the manor, only bursts of laughter.

After a pleasant dinner with Alice Millie, and with Millie's expectant eyes praising her cooking skills very unwillingly, Alan sat down in the hall with a full meal, because he had someone to wait.

Cage took care of a few things, looking up at the sky from time to time, and finally waited until it was dark.

"It's time to go to the appointment!" Cage said lightly, looking outside.

Then Cage instructed his men to let them restrain themselves, maybe this time when they come back, their identity may change.

Cage is a smart man, and he has some speculations about the new lord of Allen, who is definitely not the same as Viscount Edmund, unlike Viscount Edmund, who is a defender of the city.

From that moment on, he understood that some of his previous actions might be in vain, but he might have a new and better way out.

It's up to me to meet Alan tonight.

After a while, Cage appeared outside the manor, and he didn't bring anyone with him, but he came alone.

"Who are you, it's the lord's residence, if there's nothing to do, leave quickly!" a knight said coldly to Cage.

"This brother, the lord called me over, my name is Cage!" Cage quickly explained, he was alone, in case he was killed by these knights, it would be too bad.

"Cage?" said one of the knights, repeating the name, "Your Excellency did order, you come with me!"

"Yes. Cage breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his identity had been confirmed, tidied up, made himself appear calm, and followed the knight into the manor.

"My lord, Cage is here!" the knight told Cage to wait outside the hall, and said to Allen himself.

"Come here, then let him come in quickly!" Alan said lightly.

"I've seen my lord!" Cage said to Alan a little nervously, and said respectfully to Allen.

"Hmm!" Alan hummed softly, then pointed to a chair next to him and said, "Sit down, I don't like to talk like this!"

"Thank you, sir!" Cage replied gratefully, and sat down in a chair.

"Tell me about you!" Wait for Cage to sit upright, and Alan asked lightly.

When Cage heard this, he was shocked, and sure enough, the new lord had noticed them, but it was still a little unclear, but when he came, he was prepared.

At that moment, Cage slowly talked about the distribution of power in Kegang City at this time.

There are four like him, and one of them has something to do with the previous Viscount Edmund, so he belongs to the most powerful one among them.

The other two are similar to Cage, each of them has about thirty thugs under them, of course, they are just thugs, and they are not comparable to the knights.

But for ordinary people, this is already a big force.

Viscount Edmund secretly allowed them to exist in order to enrich himself, but most of their income had to be handed over.

Each has his own precinct, and the commercial activities in the inner part of the precinct are under their control, although to a certain extent the movement of merchants is reduced.

However, there are still some merchants who participate in the internal competition through filial piety, and can take away the marine specialties of Kegang City at a certain low price.

Of course, the thugs of these four people are not only thugs, but also the direct source of their financial resources, that is, fishermen.

That's right, it's the fishermen, the kind who go to the sea, these people are experienced, and they can easily wait for a lot of seafood.

Coupled with the direct control of the source of goods, they have been able to survive until now, and of course, they have some other ways to get income.

Alan listened to Cage's narration, and his heart was also a little abrupt, although he was a little funny that these people actually let their men go to the sea to be fishermen, but considering the size of the port city, this is also understandable.

These people can do this with their ability, and Alan said that he is already very satisfied, at least he is a small talent, which is already very good for a small territory.

If he could recruit these people into his men, then he would be able to restore some of the military strength of the city, and these people could also become the first students of the Knight Academy.

After these people graduate, but Hong Kong City will be able to recover its strength, Alan pondered silently, Cage had stopped narrating, and he had finished telling the news he knew.

The empty hall fell silent for a moment, and Alan was quietly thinking about what to do with these people.

Because it suddenly occurred to him that maybe this Cage would be recruited, and it was already certain from the time he came to the manor, but what about the remaining three?
