The smile on Keith's face became more evident. "Of course, Master Joao."
"As agreed, the commission for the Blade Wind Corps will be deducted entirely from the merchants' taxes."
Joao nodded. "As long as you know."
"One last thing, Leader Keith."
"During the upcoming period, I don't want to see the whole town thrown into chaos because of your arrival."
"They are the Free People, the workforce, and Frank Manor still needs them."
The smile on Keith's face remained unchanged.
"Of course, Master Joao. I guarantee there won't be any chaos!"
Joao gave a contemplative hum and ceased further words.
He sped up the horse beneath him.
Accompanied by a dozen soldiers clad in chain armor from Frank Manor, he headed towards the town's exit ahead.
Mounted on his horse, Keith watched Joao's figure disappear into the distance, shouting loudly, "Master Joao, have a safe journey."
As Keith watched him depart.
A similarly thin young man drove his horse over to Keith's side.
