Chapter210-Scheming

The principle of a new official asserting authority seemed to apply across both planes. 

The merchants hurriedly handed over money, fearful of incurring Howard's displeasure.

Being new to this world, Howard needed money as well and didn't refuse their offerings. 

Moreover, he felt no sense of kinship with the people of this world. 

In his eyes, they were no different from monsters, and he was indifferent to their wellbeing.

After finishing the patrol, Howard found himself with nearly three hundred gold coins in hand – an amount equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly income in Obscured Celestial Realm.

However, this sum was to be shared with his patrol team members. 

Even though the team insisted on Howard keeping all the money, citing his first day on duty, Howard firmly decided to share it.
