Chapter 325 - 320: New Incident
Leon had the habit of finishing his work first before enjoying uninterrupted, stress-free moments of happiness. The only issue was that sometimes, work never seemed to end.
As usual, Leon entrusted the task of procuring rare alchemy materials to Cecilia. While Cecilia was indeed a cunning Green Dragon, decades had proved her loyalty, and most importantly, she was his woman.
The Frost Giants offered compensation of several thousand Gold Coins, along with a large amount of supplies. Those supplies, valued at over a hundred thousand, weren’t urgent to deal with, so they were tossed into the warehouse on Volcanic Island to be sold off when funds were needed.
Kidnapping Isily from the Belen Kingdom and bringing her to Watchtower Port was purely a whim. Leon still hadn’t figured out what to do with her, so he simply handed her over to Fiora. If anything went wrong, it’d be on Fiora to handle.
The docks at Watchtower Port were starting to run out of space. The city hall had filed applications for funding to expand the docks. At the same time, the population rushing into Watchtower Port was growing, making things a bit crowded—something that had to be dealt with. Smaller issues could be left to Prime Minister Cecilia to handle, but major matters, especially those requiring large amounts of funding, had to be decided by Leon.
Were it not for the rewards from the Golden Finger, Leon really wouldn’t have much interest in kingdom-building. He wasn’t particularly power-hungry; his focus was on strength. After all, as the saying goes: power comes from the barrel of the gun, and truth resides within the range of the cannon. With strength, anything could be his.
Leon had always been rather invested in Angelista’s path as an Element Master, since he had to depend on her fire to refine Heavenly Immortal Pills. Unfortunately, Angelista was extremely lazy and had made little to no progress up to now. It seemed her Golden Core was still stuck in mere aspiration, leaving her capable of only refining Small Rejuvenation Pills.
Leon had thought he could take a few days’ break after returning to Watchtower Port, but surprisingly, so much awaited his attention—no wonder, after having spent three months away. It’d take more than a few days to sort everything out.
After hustling for several days, Leon’s life finally returned to quietude: good meals, good drinks, good sleep, and good entertainment every day.
