Li You Ran naturally did not know that he was about to face a man who was even more arrogant and unscrupulous than the detestable woman. If Yuan Li Fei was a woman with a deep mind, then Yuan Wan Li was a man who played cards without following the rules, and in his eyes, there were only two kinds of people in this world: those who had more power than him, and those who had less power than him. Those with less power were born to be enslaved by him, and if one day the person he enslaved forced him to become stronger, he would kneel down and lick their toes without any qualms, a man who was extremely shameless.

  Now Li You Ran has purchased all the things he wanted, for the auction, he prepared a rich food and of course goods for trading, believing that after this auction, his territory will usher in a new development.

  Wang Hu has already been released by him, the initial capital of 5 million yuan is not that he doesn't want to give more but he wants to see if Wang Hu has the ability to develop, if it's just a matter of throwing money at it, many people can do it.

  He Meili has been discharged from the hospital and after spending a few days at home drinking with Li You Ran, she couldn't stand such a monotonous life. So, she went to work outside with Tang Mingying. In these few days, Li You Ran had already settled the offshore company's affairs. As for the foreign trade in his hands, he didn't plan to continue it anyway, since he himself doesn't do business with outsiders.

  Watching the decrease in bank numbers, Li You Ran went to Bai Bing Er's villa, where his money was, of course, when Bai Bing Er was not around, seeing her would lead to unknown consequences.

  Having made all the preparations, Li You Ran returned to the other world. The auction house in the other world was already built, although it was just a simple wooden structure, but it was already quite good. The spacious hall, the central auction stage, was designed like the Roman Colosseum, of course not as huge, but enough to hold thousands of people. Anyway, Li You Ran had plenty of land and didn't care about this little bit.

  Li You Ran arrived at the auction house, where John was building a guest chair. Seeing Li You, he immediately came forward and said: "Master, your servant greets you, do you have any instructions?"

  Li You Ran nodded slightly, very satisfied with John's efficiency and engineering quality. "Not bad, fast speed, and reasonable design, it seems you have potential in this area, but remember to do a good job on the fire prevention facilities, all the wood here is original, if a fire occurs, it will be troublesome."

  "Yes! Master, I'll immediately send someone to install a water tank on the roof and lead the water up there. That way, in case of a fire, we can quickly find the source of water to put it out." John thought to himself that he had almost forgotten about the terrible fire and broke into a cold sweat at his own mistake. Fortunately, the master didn't mind and even reminded him, or else he couldn't imagine what would happen when Ziggy came to inspect.

  "Uh-huh! Keep working hard, later on, a large part of the territory's development will depend on your own thinking. You can find several helpers, you be in charge, and that way you'll come up with even more good ideas. I'm leaving, you continue."

  Li You Ran's casual remark made John extremely excited, was this what it meant to be an official? Managing construction and having formal subordinates, unlike the serfs under him, those were the lord's people, working for the lord was a given, and had nothing to do with John. Now his master told him to go recruit people, these people would be his subordinates, just like Morton's guard squad.

  John knelt down to see Li You Ran off, then hopped up like a rabbit, this news was too explosive, he couldn't help but laugh! Finally equal to Zig and Oakwood?

  Li You Ran arrived at the dungeon, which was another side of the castle guarded by Morton. Seeing Li You Ran's arrival, Morton stepped forward to pay his respects, but was stopped by Li You Ran who took a few steps forward and supported him, saying: "We are brothers, don't mind these empty formalities, come with me to take a look inside."

  Morton was deeply moved, as a half-elf he had never been respected before. He followed Li You Ran into the dungeon. The two guards outside chatted with each other and said: "It seems that the captain is indeed the lord's good brother, no wonder the half-elf can live in the castle."

  "Of course! You're a latecomer, you don't know some things. I heard that Lord and our Captain have a deep relationship, otherwise who would accept a half-elf? And not as a slave, but as a commoner! To be honest, I'm getting more and more fed up with those old guys in the clan, they don't do anything useful, eating off the Captain's provisions, and they don't even know how to be grateful. If you ask me, it would be better to just kick them out of the castle and let them fend for themselves! Why bother taking care of them?"

  "Ah! You're not unaware, that's the captain being too kind-hearted. Ah, never mind, go on duty, today is payday! I heard there's a new set of uniforms! And there's money too, I've never seen anything like it in my life! Having such a lord is really great, I'll absolutely never leave this place, those old guys can go die!"

  Li You Ran's ears heard the discussions behind her, and a faint smile rose from the corner of her mouth. People are selfish, even if there are a few people with great love, but how many can there be? As long as they give them a good life, they will be their own people.

  "Ah, Mr. Ryder, how are you doing? I hope the accommodations are satisfactory."

  With his eyes closed, Fei'er opened them and looked at Li You Ran saying: "I've already given you everything you wanted, what else do you want to do? Either kill me or let me go, what's the point of torturing me like this?"

  "Torture you? No, no, no, this is just to make you atone for your sins, for the people you killed. I'm here today to take you away from here, Morton, go and unlock his chains."

  Morton opened the prison door and went in. The iron chains were unlocked, and the self-healing ability of the foreign knight made Li You Ran sweat. Gunshot wounds, surprisingly recovered so quickly, Feld was already able to move his hands and feet slowly.

  "It seems like you've recovered well, so let's go." Li You Ran said.

  "Where are you going? If it's about solving me, we can do it here." Field didn't know what Li You Ran was up to again.

  "Deal with you? You overestimate yourself. You're not even worth my personal attention. I'm going to take you to your master and get the compensation that's owed to me."

  After finishing speaking, he ignored Field's reaction and had Morton carry him out of the dungeon and into the castle. He then gathered his guards and said: "Zieg, go call Carl over, also organize the militia, today we're going to settle accounts with some people, those who owe me will have to pay back."

  Zig quickly gathered the civilians, in his view, what was called debt collection was clearly going to start a war. This was a great opportunity, and if he was brave enough later on, he might even be able to become a knight. If his master's title was higher, he could also return to the ranks of the nobility, and it was more likely that he could establish a prosperous family. Just thinking about it made him hot-blooded.

  Action was accelerated countless times under the motivation of such thoughts, and refugees had also accepted their own lord. Now they are no longer refugees, but Li You Ran's private property, and naturally have an obligation to fight for their own lord.

  Looking at the crowd holding wooden guns under the castle, Li You Ran shouted: "Departure! Let's celebrate in the Black Iron Territory Castle."

  "Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!" All the serfs raised their wooden spears and shouted as they set off towards the highway.

  Li You Ran turned around and said to Oak and John, "You two stay home, I'll leave the half-elf archer here, you guys take good care of the castle."

  "Master! I'll definitely guard the castle well." John was almost in tears, a great opportunity to make merit had just slipped away, and he couldn't disobey his master's words. He really wanted to go.

  It doesn't matter about the oak tree, the master has other instructions for him, it's already been said before, his task is to take care of the alchemy laboratory, he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

  Li You Ran set off with the 500 villagers, and Field would take a detour through the forest to reach Li You Ran's territory in just three days. As for Li You Ran's route, it was even faster, requiring only crossing a river and then walking for half a day.

  Arriving at the riverbank, Li waved his hand to let them cut down trees and build a bridge. A group of people rushed into the forest, and soon a simple pontoon bridge was built. Li and his men quickly crossed over, looking at the black-red soil under their feet, he knew they had arrived.

  Arriving in front of Field's prison car, he said: "You've arrived at your hometown, don't you want to say something?"

  "You will definitely fail! You will be beheaded by Viscount-sama!" Field said with a venomous gaze at Li Yuran.

  No sooner had the words left his mouth than he was retaliated against, it was Zig's hand that struck, a fist landing squarely on Field's stomach. Zig gazed at him coldly and said: "Before you is a noble baron, you'd best be more courteous to my master."

  Fei'erduo was beaten and got up from his bow, but he didn't speak again. He just looked at Li You Ran and the others with venom in his eyes.

  Li You Ran left nonchalantly and gave orders when he reached the front, full-body rest, a hearty meal, half an hour's rest, and then proceed.

  The people who heard the order didn't know why they had to eat as soon as they came out, but no one opposed it. Who would complain about being able to eat their fill?

  Everyone was busy eating and didn't notice that some black birds were floating in the sky, circling around Li You Ran's team a few times before flying away far. Morton felt the bird's probing gaze, looked up at the direction of the bird, picked up the longbow in his hand, put an arrow on it, and was about to shoot it down when he was pressed down by Li You Ran.
