Chapter 211: Walk Right Into A Trap
Moriarty stared at the obsidian gold dagger nearby and noticed that people on both sides of the road walked past him, one after the other. No one even looked at the dagger on the ground. It was unclear if they did not notice it or were too dismissive to see it.

Gulp! Gulp! That was the sound from his throat. Moriarty’s appetite drove him to go for the obsidian gold dagger. He opened his mouth and swallowed it. The Heaven-devouring Rat King had a unique talent—any food it consumed would become part of it. He let out a satisfied burp after he ate the weapon.

“That weapon has helped my damaged soul heal quite a bit. I will be able to recover or even get stronger if I eat another 100 comparable weapons.”

Moriarty’s platinum-colored eyes rolled in their sockets. He was not only thinking about repairing his shattered soul. He believed that if he lived in Monte Town for a few years, he could turn the Heaven-devouring Rat King’s body into the diamond tier. Monte Town was considerably wealthier than before, which made his desire swell.

Moriarty continued to hide and only rushed forward after looking around and locating the location of Monte Town’s City Hall.

He was curious as to why Monte Town had become so prosperous.

At the same time, at the city hall’s gate.

“Young Masters Zeke, Zenoah, and Peter, are you leaving already?”

Gerant, the mayor, was dressed to the nines. He glanced at the three men in front of him with trepidation. Gerant’s face was full of oil, and both of his cheeks had puffed up quite a bit after he had not seen them for ten days. He had obviously gained a lot of weight.

“Mayor Gerant, we have been bothering you in Monte Town for a long time. Furthermore, we have sold all of the supplies we brought from Blackmoon Castle. We must return and replenish them. What do you think?”

Zeke wore a mature grin on his face. Many officials in Monte Town were respectful of him after conducting business with him for so many days. He was starting to look more like an influential businessman.

“You are right, Young Master Zeke. Then I won’t stop you. I’ll send my guards to escort you out of the city.” Gerant nodded; he did not stop him.

The earth-shattering developments in Monte Town could not have happened without Blackmoon Castle, and he had tasted quite a bit of the sweetness. If Zeke wanted to leave, he did not dare to stand in his way. He would, on the contrary, deploy guards to protect him. He was terrified that something might happen to the Blackmoon Castle’s young masters; that might cause Blackmoon Castle to stop cooperating with them.

At that time, Blackmoon Castle produced 90% of the items in circulation in Monte Town. They had effectively monopolized the entire town’s business. The residents could not stop praising Blackmoon Castle because the things were of excellent quality and inexpensive. They were happy with Blackmoon Castle’s contribution of clearing out magical beasts during the winter.

Gerant did not want to do anything to stop that, nor could he do anything. Monte Town was ten times stronger than before, and that was part of his accomplishments too. He did not care who ruled Monte Town as long as it could grow stronger.

“Mayor Gerant, thank you for your good intentions. The rock golems can protect us. There will be no risk on the road. You may send us off here, Mayor. That’s all for now; we will talk again in the future.”

Zeke, Zenoah, and Peter turned around and left the city hall after they nodded at Gerant. There were more than ten manor owners behind them. They all waved to the officials, who sent them off happily. In that world, manor owners were individuals with a low status. They were hardly better than servants and could not be compared to the city hall’s noble officers.
