All eyes were on Leon, listening to him arrange everyone's tasks, and in their eyes, Leon was no longer the casual and occasionally childish young man, but a true lord.

Leon turned his gaze to Jack, and the veteran immediately straightened up, waiting for the commander's order like a soldier on the battlefield.

"Jack, your body is still a little weak, and you will stay at the manor during this time, sorting out the information of Campbell or some veterans including the surrounding towns," Leon thought for a moment and continued: "Add a few more people who you think can help with things, of course, the candidates must be reliable." ”

The veteran nodded vigorously, he knew that his responsibility was heavy, and at the beginning he was still a little apprehensive, afraid of messing up such an important matter. But after a few days in the midst of these young men, his confidence somehow began to regain and he had an indescribable drive.

"Eric," Leon glanced at the gangster leader, and found that the other party's face was irrepressibly excited, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Eric chuckled dryly, reaching out and pinching his neck.

Li Ang found that as long as the gangster leader was nervous or emotional, he would have this eye-catching "small" action, could he also feel embarrassed in front of everyone?

Leon glared at Eric, motioned for him to calm down, and then said, "You also stay, sort out the situation of those people under you, and try to make it as effective as possible." ”

"No problem, boss!" said Eric with a laugh, this is his old job, as long as he is given some familiarity with it, he will soon be able to get into the groove.

However, the gangster leader thought for a moment and said: "If there are not many things here recently, I want to go to the royal capital Chester once, where Bibbot is alone, I am worried that he will be at a loss for the first time when he acts alone, and I want to help him lay a solid foundation in the early stage." ”

This is a decision he made after thinking about it for a while, if it were other lords, they might not have so many scruples about the direction of the wind in the royal capital, but Li Ang's situation is a little different, he needs to take into account too many things now, and the development of the situation in the territory is a little troublesome, so if he can understand the movements and thoughts of those big people in the royal capital in advance, maybe when he will play an unexpected role.

Eric felt that his current strength could not help much with Leon's side, and his most outstanding ability was to gather intelligence, and if Wang Du only relied on a Bibot who was still a little inexperienced, he might not make any progress for a long time.

That's why Eric decided to rush to the royal capital in person, although he can only be regarded as a newcomer, but after all, he has a lot of experience, and he thinks that he is not inferior to anyone in terms of ability, if he is on the side to guide or even operate directly, maybe he can shorten the progress a little.

However, he saw that Li Ang shook his head and vetoed his proposal.

"Don't move until Master Kaka's potion is configured and has a significant effect, otherwise it will be dangerous for you to go that far away alone. ”

The corners of Eric's mouth twitched a few times, and finally nodded silently, Leon's clear answer was out of concern for his safety, and the gangster leader accepted this sentiment very much, so he no longer insisted.

Leon's gaze looked at the brown-haired man with the talent of "all-rounder" again, and a thought was spinning in his mind.

The manor, which symbolizes lordship, has been reclaimed, but if you want to live in the manor for a long time...... There may be a day in the future, but now it's impossible.

There are too many things to deal with in the territory, for example, he is going to take some people to the border soon, at least go around those towns, show up to let the people know that he is back, if he is lucky, he will have to fight the mob a few times, it is estimated that it will be good to stay in this quiet manor for a few days for a while.

However, the manor is currently in ruins, building civil engineering, recruiting craftsmen, etc. are all grinding work, and it is estimated that there will be many visitors soon, and the harvest month is approaching, and the trivial affairs that need to be dealt with even exceed the foreign affairs, and if you can't be separated, you need a person with experience in charge of the territory to take on a role similar to that of a steward, and stay in the manor instead of exercising the duties of the lord.

Such a character, of course, has to be Jeff.

Speaking of which, the brown-haired man's past was not as gentlemanly as Leon's, but at least he was not a proper business—what serious lord would be as "versatile" as he was?

But after all, he used to be a small lord, even if he didn't manage much, he should know something about the big and small matters in the territory, and he was more qualified than those who had no experience.

When Leon made this idea public, Jeff himself first expressed his appreciation and approval of Leon's vision.

"You can rest assured if you leave this job to me," Jeff's expression was smug, "I have managed a piece of land, and if it hadn't been usurped by my vicious relatives, maybe the territory would have prospered long ago!"

"And since you call me 'all-rounder', I'm going to surprise you with my management skills!"

Listening to Jeff's impassioned words, Leon immediately reflected on whether his decision would be a bit hasty, but fortunately, at this time, Eric slapped Jeff on the back from behind, mercilessly interrupting the acting lord's statement.

"Anyone can say anything, but everyone can see what the actual result is, and this is not something that can be changed by just talking big. ”

Jeff threw an angry look at the thug boss who was getting better and better, "Eric!

Eric shrugged his shoulders in the same way as Jeff, spread his hands and said, "The person who tells the truth is always threatened by some people because they are afraid!"

Li Ang knew that these two people were very close on weekdays, so he didn't care about the dispute between them at all, but admired it with great interest, as if he had found the feeling of listening to cross talk in his previous life.

But Caterina stood up, walked between the two of them, and said, "Okay, if you two are interested, you can go over there and find an empty room, and you can say as long as you want, and no one will take care of the fight, because it won't cause much damage." ”

"But it's better to be quiet for now, those of us who haven't been given a mission yet are not interested in your quarrel. ”

Jeff and Eric were stunned as they looked at Katerina, looked at each other again, and walked to the table a little farther away.

"I always felt that she was sarcastic about our strength...... "Eric whispered, "otherwise why would you say that even if the two of us fight, we won't be able to cause losses?"

"I'm right...... Miss Caterina has a talent for a poisonous tongue," Jeff whispered, "and if you compare it to Caterina two months ago, that sentence just now can only be regarded as a 'qualified' level."

"So the old Miss Knight is back?" Eric said thoughtfully, holding his chin.

"It seems that something that Caterina has been hiding in her heart has finally come to fruition," Jeff said with a strained face, his mouth moving slightly, but there was an unconcealed excitement and relief in his tone, "It's a good thing, so it doesn't matter if we sacrifice it." ”

Eric nodded slightly, but in his heart he thought so.

......

Li Ang withdrew his gaze from the two middle-aged men not far away, and just felt funny in his heart.

Jeff is okay to say that he has been what he is now since he appeared, but Eric is becoming more and more "innocent" but he didn't expect it, he remembers that when he first met the gangster, the haggard and frustrated look on his face and the antiquation in his eyes made him remember it vividly, such a comparison can only show one thing - Eric has been in a good mood lately.

In fact, not only Eric, but also these people around Leon seem to be living very well, feeling comfortable, having plenty of money, having their own goals, and trusting and expecting each other, such an atmosphere itself is one of Leon's goals.

He felt that things like money, beauty, and power could attract helpers, and even loyal subordinates, but they could never recruit companions who were really like friends, and the atmosphere he didn't deliberately create but spontaneously formed was like a magnet to attract these people around him.

Even the gangster leader who once persuaded Li Ang on the topic of interests is now determined not to mention similar things, which shows that even he agrees with the atmosphere spontaneously formed by this team.

Although Leon's understanding of the qualities required of a good leader is still somewhat shallow, the fact that he did not have much hope for this goal has finally paid off makes him feel good at the moment.
