massive silver door opened and as soon as everyone spotted Landon, they either went on their knees or bowed in salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We welcome your majesty Landon Barn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon looked at them and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked past them and sat directly on the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course, the lord in charge of the town just silently stood beside him instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Jamison, who was the town lord... nervously wiped his sweat and sneakily peeked at Landon gratefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his majesty hadn’t shown up, he had no doubt in his mind that some of these nobles here would eat him alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them were on Landon’s side, while others opposed him behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even though they tried their best to conceal their hatred, Landon still noticed every little thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehehhehe...They were truly unconvinced and had done quite a lot just to prevent development within Menda town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what tricks they came up with, Landon’s team had come out unscathed... while they on the other hand, lost their time, money and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how could they not get mad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had their way, they really wanted to beat Landon up until no one else could recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>F***!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was the root of their current predicaments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here he was showing his annoying face before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These men were both helpless and infuriated by his majesty’s nonchalant attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Landon just looked at them and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh... what could they do to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could boil and stew in their anger for all he cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Menda town is on the verge of a great transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the nearest future, everyone will eat more, get paid well, live healthily and happily too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This should be a cause of celebration for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I hear that some of you noblemen and wealthy merchants disagree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmmm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, this is just a gathering to discuss Menda’s future development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the backbones and pillars of this glorious town, it will only be fair for your opinions to be heard as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, some of you have businesses here and know more about the town than I do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if you have any suggestions or concerns, feel free to voice them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t punish you in any way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a meeting and not an execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So just say whatever it is you wish to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if it is to my liking, I promise to compromise and consider it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(0∆0)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He will?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the nobles and merchants were secretly jubilating over Landon’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, in their eyes... he was too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were Alec, he wouldn’t even give them that opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here Landon was, asking them about what they like and don’t like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if... he were a little child seeking guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, he was still too young in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, they could trick their way into getting what they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What great Baymardian king?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stupidly kind nature of wanting everyone to be happy in his empire will only be his downfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a ruler why ask?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just do what you want and damn those who stand in your way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the way of a true King!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who secretly opposed Landon smirked victoriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty Landon Barn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one is called Fabian Sadowski, from the 2nd rated Sadowski Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And To be honest with you, a few if yes have problems with some of your rules.\" Said one of the gang leaders amongst them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the most powerful noble in Mend town, Viscount Fabian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadowski was a distant branch member of the noble family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had proved himself against all odds despite his low birth and had been placed to overlook the massive branch family here in Menda town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact... Amongst all the nobles and merchants around, only he and a few others came from a 2nd rated noble family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, he was ranked the highest because he came from a high-class 2nd rated family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not the rest that either came from lower ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them came from 3rd rated families instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And ever since Baymard became popular, the main branch in the Capital had now paid proper attention to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They now received more pay and more guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, their business down here had started booming over the past few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all these made them greedy by the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, if they allow Landon’s new rules to pass, then how would they continue making such high profits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These new rules and policies had to go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, I speak for most of us when I say that the new rules do not favour us at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that is the main problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In what way are the rules hindering you all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, the rule about banning Slavery should be abolished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slaves run our households and take care of our businesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if they go, what should we do then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We had to use our hard-earned money to buy these slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So are we just going to let them go just like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seems like a loss to us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it might’ve worked in Baymard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But out here, this humble servant thinks that it wouldn’t be fair to us nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why the whole slaves are a mist and the rules should be removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, after we bought them, they are just objects and are barely regarded as humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why go into so much trouble for dead weight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should remain as our property and do what we say as per usual... at least until they earned back all we spent to buy them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least that’s what many of us nobles and merchants think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right your majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am a merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I rely on them to do my account books and even clean the stores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if they go, then who will work in my store?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if we don’t treat them harshly, how will they obediently follow our instructions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by letting them know that they are below the level of humans can we properly deal with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why I totally agree with Viscount Fabian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, that’s right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are even kind enough to provide them with food, water and a secured estate to live in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So shouldn’t they be the ones who were grateful to us instead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’_’\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-03T07:55:30.598Z","2026-06-03T07:55:37.921Z",1,"novelbin.me","4ad6da184aee6b042222e359f8be05443ec4d39c1a0774a87879ca4c171f457a","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-717","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-715",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
