CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 99: RAMPANT AND OVERBEARING!

At this moment, perhaps due to having heard the commotion early on.

A large group of people had already gathered at the entrance of the grand mansion.

Aganfu, dressed in a lavish coat, along with an Elf Dancer in a rather revealing outfit, and the Half-Beastmen in fur skirts, their upper bodies exposed, all looking excited.

And behind them, there was actually a large gathering of guards and adventurers?

"You... you are... Lord Land Saphis Oakben?"

In front of him, Aganfu trembled all over, staring with bewildered, small eyes at the Giant Dragon, who was nearly as tall as the five-story villa, full of shock and incomprehension.

"Pah! You fat pig! How could you be so blind? This is clearly my big brother Land! Who else could it be?"

The Xiao Female Dragon spat loudly onto Aganfu’s face.

Making the fat on his cheeks twitch constantly.

"Aganfu... it’s been a long time. It seems you’ve been doing well here, even the reward model I once mentioned, you’ve implemented in quite a decent manner. I wasn’t wrong about you, you know! You’re quite a talent!"

Land opened his mouth, a resonant voice echoed, the enormous dragon eyes repeatedly scanning this little fatty, full of satisfaction.

"This is all thanks to Lord Land’s excellent guidance! I really wouldn’t dare claim credit, Lord Gewu Shattered Bone, please lead your men to bring all the Gold Talers from my safe! Present them to my esteemed master!"

Aganfu called out sensibly.

The Half-Beastman leader quickly took the other Half-Beastmen back to the villa, brought out the entire safe, and then opened it.

What appeared before Land were piles of dimension bags, totaling several dozens.

"My revered master! All of this is yours! Over three years, I’ve adhered to your teachings, traveled through various places, and established the reputation of Audition. Many out-of-town nobles and rich businessmen have come here to watch the dance.

Over these three years, I’ve accumulated a total of 6721 Gold Talers."

"Hiss!!!"

The surrounding guards and adventurers gasped upon hearing this, their eyes filled with greed as they looked at these dimension bags.

Even the two dragonettes seemed the same.

"6721 Gold Talers in three years, with a monthly income of only 186 Gold Talers? Aganfu... do you think I’m that easy to fool?"

Land, however, furrowed his brow and looked at Aganfu with an odd gaze, his voice especially deep at this moment.

"Hmm? This dead fat pig dares to embezzle Land’s Gold Talers? This even I wouldn’t...! How outrageous! I’m going to eat you!"

The Xiao Female Dragon roared, suddenly stopping in mid-sentence, her fury rising to the sky as she bellowed out.

Land couldn’t help but glance at this foolish creature.

Even I what?

Even I wouldn’t dare to do that? Or even I haven’t done that?

I think Fiona, this fool, never quits her embezzling ways!

Land’s gaze at the Xiao Female Dragon grew deeper, and he couldn’t help but glance at the Little Black Dragon.

"Land! I absolutely never had such thoughts! You have to believe me!"

The Little Black Dragon widened its eyes, trying to appear more sincere.

"Master! Master! I’m innocent, Master! The amount of Gold Talers is indeed less than expected, but it’s not my fault! It’s all the doings of these Elves!"

Seeing the Xiao Female Dragon pounce on him, Aganfu fell to his knees with a thud, crying out.

"What do you mean by that?"

Land asked in a deep voice, swinging his tail to shield in front of the Xiao Female Dragon.

All the dragons and people’s eyes turned to those Elves.

"Master! You wouldn’t know! After you left, many of these Elves’ kin stayed in the Green Forest, but Count Doron of the Laine Kingdom has killed and captured many of those left behind.

Only a few Elves escaped.

After arriving here, they’ve been clamoring for me to avenge them!

But how could I have that capability! Yet they forced me to hire mercenaries and guards, to wait for the right moment to exact revenge. If I didn’t comply, they’d go on strike, I had no choice!

You wouldn’t know! Now, I have fifty adventurers and over five hundred guards under my support... Isn’t that a huge expense?"

Aganfu knelt on the ground, continually crying and complaining.

"I see, no wonder I saw many signs of battle in the Green Forest earlier. So tell me, how many Elves are left now?"

Land’s expression darkened, he asked in a deep voice.

"Master, there are only forty-five Elves left in total..."

Aganfu cautiously glanced at Land and answered in a soft voice.

Snort~

Upon hearing this, Land snorted angrily from his nostrils.

He felt like he had suffered a huge loss!

These Elves! They were all his property! The worth of each Elf was far above that of a Half-Beastman, if valued.

A Half-Beastman’s value in his mind was based on strength, usually ranging from 50 Silver Rables to 10 Gold Talers.

But the value of an Elf, especially an Elf Dancer, was at least calculated in hundreds!

And every Elf had the potential to become an Elf Dancer!

As for those male Elves? Land thought they had good potential for... his unimplemented plan was suddenly disrupted.

This loss! It was at least tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of Gold Talers!

At this thought, his fury exploded, his body temperature rising rapidly, sparks flying around.

The breath from his nostrils now was no longer mere warm air, but real flames!

"Wooo! Help! Help!"

The old soldier still gripped in his claw cried out, unable to endure it any longer! His body sweating profusely under the high temperature!
