Chapter 123: Money Came Too Fast
Arend Island Pier.
Accompanied by Father Oden, Leon stepped off the ferry and onto the wooden pier.
“Oh, I truly hate drifting on the water!” Father Oden, after stepping onto the pier, planted his hands on his hips and took deep breaths of fresh air. His constitution made him especially prone to seasickness whenever he traveled by boat.
Leon inspected the newly refurbished pier.
The damaged wooden planks had been completely repaired, and the flat ground and roads along the shore used for boarding and unloading had also been repaved.
The rotten warehouses had all been torn down and rebuilt into sturdy brick houses.
Some hired craftsmen were still busy laying bricks.
The lighthouse had also been repaired; one of Leon’s subordinates was stationed inside, keeping watch in all directions. When Leon looked up, their gazes met, and the man immediately bowed respectfully.
The scattered trash and those broken ships that had once littered the pier had all been dragged away and disposed of.
