Chapter 316 I Love You

Chapter 316 I Love You
Raven gave Depp a cold look and led his team into the city.

There were many refugees following him, but they kept order and had no intention of committing any crime.

The city gate fell silent as a half-dressed woman carrying a baby entered the city.

The baby was wrapped in dirty cloth, and was already skinny, with purple chilblains all over his limbs.

He searched hard in his mother’s arms with his shriveled head, but found nothing, and cried loudly in panic.

“Oh, never mind. I hope everything will be fine in the future. Let’s just go away.” The residents in the city sighed.

Hearing this, the others gradually dispersed.

“This… give it to your brother.” A half-grown girl gave half a piece of rough cake in her hand to the woman.

The woman lowered her head deeply, wiped her tears, took the rough cake and fed it to the baby, who began to chew it hard.

“What’s your name?” Ravenle turned his horse’s head, dismounted and came to the girl.

“My name is Chris.”

“This is for you.” Raven took out a gold coin and placed it in the girl’s hand.

The girl seemed frightened. “No, sir, I can’t take it. It’s too expensive.”

“Your kindness has resolved the hatred in this city and is far more valuable than this gold coin.

Take it, it represents my gratitude. “

“Then thank you, Lord.”

“Chris, when you grow up, I will let you help run this city.”

Raven looked around and looked at the crowd sincerely. There were both city dwellers and refugees among them. He said seriously:
“There is no beautiful city that is not built by kindness. Fier City will always be a paradise for kind people.”

Everyone bowed their heads deeply, and then raised them high again. At this moment, they seemed to have changed completely.

Raven showed them the most precious thing, which is hope.

As soon as he entered the Viscount’s Mansion, Raven ordered his men to take over the place.

Looking at Depp with a bad look on his face, Raven asked calmly:

“Tell me about the situation here, the population, resources, agriculture, trade, etc.”

Seeing that Raven was so experienced, Depp completely gave up the idea of ​​looking down on this kid and bowed his head and said:

“There are about 3,000 original residents here, and now with the refugees, there are more than 10,000.

There is a small iron mine outside the suburbs, but it is almost mined out. The main product here is food, and most of the trade is related to food.”

“How much is the territory’s annual tax revenue?”

Depp’s eyes flickered: “Almost a thousand gold coins, but after the Viscount’s death, many of them can no longer be collected.

Now I have tried my best to collect but I can only get 300 gold coins.”

Raven did not comment, and then asked: “Apart from the conflict between refugees and indigenous people, how is the public security?”

“Everything is in perfect order. I inspect every day and no one dares to cause trouble. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.”

The cavalryman patted his chest and said as if to seek credit.

“I understand. You take a rest.”

“Sir, you still need some time to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the city after arriving here.

If you don’t give up, I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly and continue to control your territory.”

“Oh?”

Raven smiled. The meaning of this was very clear. He would take the lead, but Depp would still be in charge of the matter.

This is interesting. Where does he get the confidence from?

Raven wasn’t angry either, “You can go back. I have my own thoughts.”

Depp was anxious: “Sir, you are new here, you need someone familiar to help you manage…”

Huey shouted, “That’s enough. Didn’t you hear what the adults said?”

Depp then left in disappointment.

After he left, Huey said angrily, “Sir, this guy obviously wants to occupy this place. Do you want me to kill him?”

Raven waved his hand calmly: “He’s just a small fry, ignore him.”

“Why don’t you dismiss him?”

“No rush, I have to pretend first so that others don’t think I’m too impatient. Let him be active for a few more days.

Come on, follow me out and take a look.”

The two dressed up as ordinary people and took to the streets.

After one circle, Raven looked grim.

As I heard before, the city is full of underground forces. They dare to extort merchants, rob pedestrians, and even fight each other in broad daylight. “Is this what Depp meant by living and working in peace?” Hughie sneered.

“It looks like this place is in chaos and we need to re-establish order.” Raven nodded.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from the alley ahead.

The two approached quietly.

There were three people standing in the middle of the alley, and a dozen people lying in front of them. They seemed to be members of underground forces, and screams could be heard from among them.

The three were led by a woman in a gray robe, who was Siral who had separated from Depp earlier.

She casually threw something on the ground, and when Raven looked, it turned out to be a bloody finger.

“This is just a small lesson. If you don’t do as I say, it’s your heads that will fall off next time.” The woman said coldly.

“Please spare our lives, sir. We are willing to surrender and do as you say. We are willing!”

A young man was crying and shouting, he was covering his hand tightly which was covered in blood.

“Okay, here is the loyalty agreement, please press your blood mark.”

The young man hesitated for a moment, then obediently did as he was told.

“Very good, you should recruit more people to join the guild, and then secretly control the merchants in the city. Report to me at any time if there is any situation.”

Sirar said with satisfaction.

“There are still several forces in the city that belong to us. I will ask them to contact you later.

Remember, you must cooperate well and don’t let personal grudges affect my important plans, otherwise don’t blame me for being cruel and ruthless.”

“We understand, but what is your name?”

“You don’t need to know this, just remember that you joined Gray Heaven.”

“Gray Heaven?” Raven and Monroe looked at each other, their eyes becoming serious.

From what the other party said, this is not just an ordinary fight, but a force that is integrating underground forces from all over the place, and their ambitions are not small.

He had to find out.

So the two of them stood up.

“Who!” Sirar turned around suddenly.

“What is Gray Heaven?” Raven asked calmly.

Sirar’s eyes focused, and he suddenly took out an exquisite crossbow from his gray robe, shot an arrow at Riven, and then swung his sword to cut him.

Raven knocked the crossbow arrow away with his hand, then turned sideways and grabbed the woman’s wrist. No matter how she struggled, it was useless.

The two people behind her rushed over to rescue her, but were knocked unconscious by Hughie.

“Now you should speak, right?”

The woman also had the strength of the Honor Rank. She originally wanted to sneak attack Riven, but unexpectedly fell into the enemy’s hands in one move. She was immediately horrified:
“who are you?”

“Please, I’m asking you.”

“Humph, I advise you to let me go, otherwise you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Raven exerted force on her hands. The woman’s eyes widened. She felt that her wrist was about to break in the next moment, so she screamed:

“I am from Yehuo. You dare to touch me? Aren’t you afraid of the organization’s revenge?”

“Nightfire? Are you from the Gray Realm?” Raven frowned.

As his contact with the Gray Zone increased, he began to take the initiative to understand the organization within it.

Yehuo is one of the larger organizations, engaged in mercenary, assassination and some other activities. It is powerful but not well-known.

“Hmph, it’s good that you know it. You just pretend you didn’t see what happened today. I won’t pursue the matter any further.” The woman said proudly.

“Why does Ye Huo want to integrate the underground forces of Fielie City? What is your purpose?”

The woman’s face suddenly changed, “Did you hear everything?”

“Stop talking nonsense and answer me.”

“Are you determined to become an enemy of the organization?”

Raven didn’t answer and exerted more force on his hands.

“Ah!” the woman screamed, “Don’t even think about it!”

Raven frowned. If he continued, the woman’s wrist would be shattered. He thought to himself that he didn’t want to bully a woman.

“Huey, you ask.”

“Hehehe.” Hughie smiled brightly, “I’m in a bad mood today, so I’m looking for something fun.”

He stepped forward, opened the woman’s hood, caressed her face, and said with a smile:
“Your skin is so white, I love it.”
