Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2110

In the next few days, the tribes of the Iron Hammer Federation were gathered under the flag of Luo Lan as she led all of them into Ta Lei's city.

Ta Lei had long become the pride of the Horseshoe Tribe.

Despite being the City Lord, Ta Lei personally ushered Luo Lan and the other leaders of tribes and Creation Masters into the city.

A few months ago, Ta Lei had only been a young boy in a faction.

Although he had become a Creation Master after joining the Astronomical Parliament, his heart was just as pure as it had always been.

Nonetheless, some time had passed since Lin Yuan had placed Ta Lei by Su Yiren's side. Under her influence, he now had enough shrewdness.

His pure-heartedness was reserved for the Astronomical Parliament.

But in a way, he had already become a black-hearted maggot that was sufficiently merciless.

This was all due to Su Yiren.

If Ta Lei's city was small, it would be fine.

However, his was a metropolis that was even larger than Sacred Forest City. If he did not grow quickly into his role as the City Lord, he would eventually be replaced.

Su Yiren had seen how stiff competition was amongst the Astronomical Parliament's members. However, this was not intentional but was because the members were individually too outstanding.

If she did not work hard to improve himself, she would eventually lose her presence among the ever-increasing members.

Su Yiren could clearly feel that she had not improved as much when she had been a Dark Envoy as during the few months since she had joined Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan not only had members of the Astronomical Parliament beside him.

People like Liu Jie and Listen were shining in their own way.

Her heart had not been set when she first arrived at the underground palace.

Ta Lei was the one who had spent the longest time by her side.

Su Yiren did not want him to end up replaced.

Luo Lan dared not think lightly of Ta Lei.

But ever since she found out about his background, she understood why the experts from the Black Gold and Platinum tribes had not thought much of him.

Ta Lei experienced such an attitude against him when a member of a Platinum tribe provoked him.

At that time, he sent out the expert Lin Yuan had assigned to him to kill that expert from the Platinum tribe.

Through this, he had demonstrated his prowess as a City Lord.

He planned out the residences for the tribe members in Luo Lan's stead.

At first, Ta Lei did not feel a sense of belonging to the Iron Hammer Federation.

Luo Lan had helped many tribes in the Iron Hammer Federation, but the Horseshoe Tribe had not been one of them.

Rather, the Horseshoe Tribe had almost been killed by a tribe with a Class 2 Creation Master.

If he had not encountered Lin Yuan, his entire family would be dead.

Thus, Ta Lei was not afraid in the slightest of these legendary large factions as well as the First Princess of the Iron Hammer Federation.

Ta Lei and Su Yiren had maintained contact through the Thoughts Letter Paper, and she had given him a lot of advice.

Through this, Ta Lei found out that Lin Yuan was the one who had saved these tribe members of the Iron Hammer Federation.

Ta Lei knew that Lin Yuan would not permit any of these tribe members to lay a hand on him.

Ta Lei's attitude took Luo Lan by surprise.

Luo Lan first thought that Ta Lei would act friendly and respectful when he found out who she was.

Nonetheless, she suppressed this sense of inappropriateness.

This enormous city belonged to Ta Lei. It was still somewhat acceptable for him to make arrangements in her stead.

When many tribe members did not move after hearing about Ta Lei's arrangements, Luo Lan immediately rebuked the tribe leaders.

She had just saved the lives of all the tribe members, and all of them now saw her as a goddess.

Thus, no matter how indignant the tribe members felt, they started moving according to Ta Lei's arranged residences.

Ta Lei knew that these tribe members of the Iron Hammer Federation had come to his incomplete city to help with construction.

It was reasonable for him to assign jobs to them as the City Lord of this giant city.

However, he did not do so.

Ta Lei was aware of how these tribe leaders saw him.

He had decided on the residences in Luo Lan's stead because he wanted to maintain his pride and duty as the City Lord.

If he could not keep up his pride or carry out his duty, he would be sending Lin Yuan a sign that he was incapable.

After he did this, he could take a backseat to other matters and leave them to Luo Lan.

Ta Lei did not have to worry about how much effort the tribe members put into helping out in the city.

He could just send out assessors and inform Luo Lan of the results.

If anyone slacked off and did not put effort into building the city, Luo Lan would take care of them.

Ta Lei knew how important the city's construction was to Lin Yuan.

In the past, Ta Lei had been a clueless young boy from a small tribe.

But after his time with Su Yiren, Ta Lei understood what kind of position he held as the core of the three federations.

It was clear that Lin Yuan intended to use the city to nurture his affiliated factions. All the people who had benefited from Lin Yuan would move into the city.

Besides carrying out his duty as the City Lord, Ta Lei needed to invest more of his effort into increasing his power.

Everything was calm over the next few days.

But deep in the palace of the Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court, a young man with hard features and sly eyes currently had his brow deeply furrowed as he listened to the anxious report from the elderly man standing below him. His fist made grinding noises as he squeezed it tighter and tighter.

All of a sudden, the young man's patience ran out, and he slammed a hand down on the armrest of his seat and yelled, "Useless! You're all useless! Why hasn't Fang Ke returned?"

The elderly man started trembling when Luo Cai slammed his hand down on the armrest.

When Luo Cai had been by the previous king's side, he had always appeared formal and professional. Apart from his mediocrity, no one could find any issues with him.

But ever since he became the king of the Iron Hammer Federation and had numerous powerful experts at his beck and call, he started acting unreasonably and recklessly.
