Chapter 740

The group of high-ranking officials in Reef City stared at each other in silence.

Su Yang had once again shattered their understanding.

He stole something from Zhenbao Pavilion, then sold it back to Zhenbao Pavilion.

No one else would dare pull off such a move!

"Also, spread the word about those compensation payments!"

Feng Yuanjie asked, "Why?"

Why?

I'm afraid you'll embezzle them!

I'm afraid that after you leave office, the next city lord will divert the compensation funds!

Of course, Su Yang could never say that outright!

Su Yang smiled, "Why? I want to win the people's hearts—is that forbidden?"

The entire group of Reef City's high-ranking officials burst into laughter.

Su Yang's words were blunt, yet they felt he was utterly candid!

Especially the five Star Radiance-level Beast Tamer officers of Reef City, who all felt Su Yang suited their tastes perfectly.

Once news of the compensation payments spread, morale would soar!

Reef City's soldiers had long resented Zhenbao Pavilion!

Su Yang continued, "Moreover, this will make the families of other fallen warriors clearly understand that Reef City doesn't hand out compensation arbitrarily—the extra portion is compensation from Zhenbao Pavilion. It's not scarcity we fear, but inequality. I worry other fallen soldiers' families will complain… and it will also serve as another warning to Zhenbao Pavilion. Once this spreads through Reef City, it benefits all soldiers in the southeastern region!"

Feng Yuanjie bowed respectfully, "Your lordship's vision is truly far-sighted!"

Seeing Liu Mengyun enter with documents, Su Yang said, "That's all. Dismissed. I have official business to attend to."

Su Yang glanced briefly at the release documents, signed his name, stamped them, and handed them to Liu Mengyun.

"Deputy Liu, when you release Liao Yuankai, if he brings up my promise to let him challenge me, mock him for me—tell him not to cry if his beast gets killed!"

"Also, if Xi Yao and the others discuss rebuilding Zhenbao Pavilion, remind them gently that I've preserved the original Reef City Zhenbao Pavilion building in perfect condition—sound natural, understood?"

"Understood!"

Liu Mengyun took a deep breath.

She knew Su Yang intended to sell the building!

As for mocking Liao Yuankai, she thought she now understood Su Yang's intent.

Her city lord probably thought finding a Sovereign-level prey was too hard, and wanted Liao Yuankai to do it for him!
