Chapter 30 Rules of Exchange

Tom still hadn't summoned the small leaders, so their attitudes were getting worse and worse.

Although they lived a good life every day, and their freedom was not limited to the daytime, they were only forbidden to go out at night.

Now they didn't know what to do, so they kept asking Rod to see Tom.

But Rod refused them one by one.

One day, the leaders who seized the opportunity stepped forward and surrounded Rod in the middle of the crowd.

One of the leaders stood out and said to Rod

"Rod, please let us meet Mr. Tom."

Rod glanced at the crowd with a warning in his eyes.

Seeing this, these small leaders were a little flustered. One of them quickly said.

"Rod, I'm going to show my most precious loyalty to Mr. Tom!"

The other leaders echoed, "Yes, we want to show our most precious loyalty."

Seeing that they didn't come to rebel, Rod's eyes softened, different from the sharp eyes just now, which seemed to be about to kill.

He comforted everyone, "Everyone, calm down. Mr. Tom sent me to entertain you. If you need anything, please let me know."

The small leaders said at the same time, "We need to see Count Tom!"

Rod smiled with a tough attitude.

"Mr. Tom has just taken office and he's very busy with government affairs. After a few days, he'll certainly entertain all of you!"

The leaders wanted to say something more, "But..."

They had been waiting for several days. How many days would it be in a few days?

However, Rod didn't give them a chance to continue.

He held the sword at his waist and refused politely and aggressively.

"You can just have fun in Rock City and enjoy yourselves!"

After saying that, Rod left, leaving the small leaders behind with a helpless face.

On the other side, the guests in the Rock City, in addition to the small leaders, was the special envoy Hugh of the rose queen.

The special envoy was not as uneasy as the small leaders but quietly observing.

From time to time, he would talk to the people in the city.

What he asked most was the opinions of the people in the city about the change of the Rock City. As expected, the people in the city all praised Tom.

When Tom learned that Hugh was walking around, he didn't take any measures against him. Instead, he just let it be.

Tom didn't give an order, and Rod didn't say anything about it either. He just asked the person who served the special messenger to try his best to meet his reasonable needs.

This was the way how Tom treated guests.

Meanwhile, the special envoy Hugh was quietly waiting for the next order of rose queen in the city. However, the queen's order did not come.

The special envoy knew clearly that the queen was trying to find a way to deal with Lord Jack.

All of a sudden, he thought of Tom's merits.

"It's a bold plan for Tom to shape 2000 soldiers into tens of thousands of people in front of the leaders of the city."

The special envoy Hugh didn't point it out when he found out Tom's actual strength.

But now when he was alone, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"I've never seen such a talented count. He will have a bright future."

"If queen knows Tom's audacity, she will also praise him!"

Suddenly, an idea occurred to Hugh. He said to a servant arranged by Rod beside him, "I want to see butler."

After a while, Butler Reagan appeared in front of him.

It had to be said that Tom's ability to control the situation was also very admirable to the special envoy Hugh.

Seeing Butler Reagan again, Hugh made no secret of his intention and said, "Butler, please help me to meet Tom count alone."

Although Tom didn't send people to Hugh, the butler didn't forget that Hugh worked for the queen.

At the same time, he had to entertain Hugh as a landlord. Therefore, when Hugh made this request, he didn't treat him as Rod did.

"I will inform Tom. Please wait."

The special envoy Hugh nodded and then Butler Reagan left.

Butler walked towards the city wall and came to the high seat. Then he told Tom Hugh’s request.

"Childe, Hugh is looking forward to meeting you."

"Butler, you can ask him to come up directly."

Tom thought it was time to meet.

"Yes, Childe."

Then butler was about to leave.

Tom suddenly said, "Dear butler, thank you for your hard work these days."

Butler was stunned, and then his eyes were slightly wet with a nasal sound.

"As long as you can use me, I will die to make it."

Then Butler went downstairs.

Looking at the back of the old butler, Tom was lost in thought.

He found that Butler Reagan was very experienced in government administration management.

He specially selected 20 people in Rock City these days.

Reagan would give them government training, which meant that Reagan would make disciples.

Reagan didn't refuse. Instead, he continued to teach these people.

He taught with all his heart. Even Helen had learned a lot of government affairs knowledge from Reagan.

Butler Reagan walked to the foot of the city wall, gently wiped the tears in his eyes, and then looked up. He was the shrewd old butler again.

He walked to the special envoy Hugh and told him the news that Tom had agreed to meet. "Butler, thank you."

The special envoy thanked the old butler and then walked up to the city wall.

On the city wall, the wind was whistling. On the high platform, the special envoy saw Tom standing in the wind.

Tom's clothes were fluttering in the wind.

Hugh looked around and then walked towards Tom.

Hugh made a salute to Tom. He greeted Tom first and then began to flatter Tom.

"Count Tom, your army is the strongest among the surrounding forces. Rock County is worthy of being called the number one county!"

"Mr. Hugh, you are so kind to me."

"Count Tom, to be honest, I'm here for your help."

"Did the queen give you a new order?"

"The queen hasn't given any order yet."

"Mr. Hugh, please tell me."

Tom could tell from the expression on the special envoy Hugh's face that he seemed to be in a dilemma.

"Now you and the queen are sitting on the same ship. Only when rose queen can solve the domestic crisis, your position will be more stable."

Hugh wanted to beat around the bush.

"Mr. Hugh, please tell me directly."

Hugh said directly after a moment of silence.

"10 female demonic cannons and 10 fire snake cannons."

"Okay!" Tom replied without hesitation.

Hugh was stunned. He had thought that it would take him some time to persuade Tom, but he didn't expect that he would agree directly.

Thus, Tom's loyalty to the queen can be seen!

The special envoy was overjoyed that the rose queen had such a loyal follower.

Tom didn't care about these 20 cannons at all. He had a lot of gold coins, so he could buy more if necessary!

But when he saw the surprised expression on Hugh's face, he immediately put forward his request. He just hoped that the queen could make rules that all the conquered territory would be under the management of Tom.

The special envoy Hugh was still immersed in joy. Without thinking too much, he directly promised Tom for the queen.
