Chapter 991 - 683: Taking Initiative, Earning Subordinates’ Trust
In the days that followed, even if the lords of the other three cities had grievances, they could only remain subordinate to the Youzhou City Lord.
Whether in trade or various commercial exchanges, Youzhou City had clearly become the core of the Four Cities.
The reason was none other than the Youzhou City Lord’s superior methods and control over the majority of the spirit mines.
On this day, Wang Yang suddenly summoned Du Feng and said to him: "Du Feng, do you feel that I’m being unfair? Clearly, you made the greatest contribution by killing that elderly Heavenly Demon, yet I rewarded the other three?"
Du Feng immediately replied: "I wouldn’t dare, my lord must have your own reasons for doing so."
Wang Yang smiled: "Of course you wouldn’t dare, but you must hold some dissatisfaction in your heart."
Du Feng was silent now, as if he said another word, it would be like trying to cover something up.
"I know you have some discontent in your heart, after all, you were the first to follow me, and the other three joined later. In the Free Heaven Country, you were appointed as the Great Commander, but now that you four have comparable cultivation levels, they naturally won’t submit to you, right?"
Facing Wang Yang’s question, Du Feng no longer spoke in polite terms: "You are correct, my lord. I’m afraid that if I’m not capable enough, I might be kicked out of the core members of the Free Heaven Country. Du Feng truly wouldn’t dare!"
"I have said, since I made you my confidant, I wouldn’t let your cultivation level remain weak."
