Dragon's Origin

For the time being, Wang Sheng resumed his seemingly peaceful life. He opened his butcher shop every day to do business, and when there was no one around, he would swing leisurely in his rocking chair, making people feel very comfortable.

Everyone knew that Wang Sheng was not short of gold coins, so Wang Sheng's leisure was genuine leisure, leisure without the pressure of life, which made countless people envious and jealous.

Especially the number of people tailing him had decreased a lot, probably all arranging things for a month later. Wang Sheng was also happy to be idle, of course it was comfortable not to be tailed and not having to be constantly on guard. The so-called 'a light heart makes for light steps' was exactly like this, a rare enjoyment even in Worry-Free City.

The peaceful life continued for two days. On the third day, the head steward of the City Lord's mansion appeared in front of Wang Sheng right on time.

To be honest, the head steward of Worry-Free City's City Lord's mansion could almost be said to be the chief executive of Worry-Free City. However, his attire was very ordinary, not presumptuous at all, like the attire of a wealthy family's steward, not gorgeous, not ostentatious, just right to show his identity, making people feel very comfortable.

Wang Sheng had met the steward three times before: the first time entering the city, the second time at the assassin's hall, and the third time at the Royal Treasure Pavilion. This was the fourth time. Each time, the impression left on Wang Sheng was that he appeared at just the right time and handled things just right. But thinking about it afterwards, sometimes he would subconsciously ignore the steward's appearance.

The impression that the head steward gave people was that he was capable in handling affairs and his clothes matched his status. There was not a hint of anything strong or insidious. He had a somewhat round and chubby, smiling face. After turning his head, only a kind impression would remain. As for what he looked like specifically, he had a festive appearance, but you couldn't really describe it.

This point alone was enough to make Wang Sheng vigilant. This was definitely not something ordinary people could do, or even ordinary experts could do. To make Wang Sheng believe that the powerful City Lord, who could suppress all the assassins in Worry-Free City and prevent the various families and royalty from breaking the rules, used a steward with mediocre cultivation, who would believe that?

"Come with me, young brother!" As soon as he appeared, the steward was all smiles, intimately calling Wang Sheng young brother, and asking Wang Sheng to follow him.

Of course, Wang Sheng immediately got up and left. At this time, to show anything like packing things or locking the door would be wasting the steward's time and incurring his resentment, wouldn't it? Besides, with the steward personally here, which short-sighted thief would dare to covet anything in this small courtyard?

So many people were trying to curry favor with the steward but had no way in. If a small thief really dared to appear, who knows how many people would want to use his head to please the steward.

The steward seemed very unpretentious, smiling all the way, and even not riding a horse or sedan or anything, just walking slowly. Wang Sheng followed him not far away, not asking anything, just following.

"The City Lord is very happy and said he can't take advantage of you, so he had me personally find you a house, no need to pay extra gold coins." After walking a few steps, the steward told Wang Sheng the City Lord's intention.

"Then please thank the City Lord for me!" Wang Sheng was a smart man, and immediately heard other meanings from it. But no matter what, it's always right to say thank you first.

If the City Lord didn't want gold coins, then the hard-earned money Wang Sheng paid to the steward would naturally be difficult for the steward to mention. If the City Lord didn't want it, how could the steward dare to ask for it?

"Since the City Lord doesn't need me to pay gold coins, then all these gold coins will be used to reward information about the Creation Pill." Wang Sheng's words followed up quickly, immediately stating his attitude.

"Good!" The steward agreed with a smile.

"However, the steward also knows that I'm really not familiar with this, and I wouldn't know if I was being cheated or anything." Wang Sheng was just saying it casually, chatting with the steward like a family member: "Or, I'll have to trouble the steward. If there's any news or anything, the steward can check it out first. Whether or not to pay the gold coins, how much to pay, the steward decides. I just need the information."

"Good!" The steward still agreed with a smile.

In an imperceptible way, Wang Sheng and the steward had completed another exchange of benefits. Although the hard-earned money mentioned before was no longer available to the steward, he had the final say on which news should be paid for and how much to pay. In other words, the steward could just find someone and say they had news about the Creation Pill, and if he nodded, he could allocate gold coins to that person.

This time it wasn't just a portion of the hard-earned money, but all the gold coins, which weren't used up buying a house, all used to buy information. If the steward wanted to, he could take it all.

Savvy! The steward still had this evaluation of Wang Sheng in his heart. Of course, after being savvy, he added smart. It would be strange if such a person couldn't make a name for himself in Worry-Free City.

The steward was happy in his heart, so the place he took Wang Sheng to was very extraordinary. Walking all the way, crossing that red line, entering the Thousand Severed Ground, which is also known as the inner city, it wasn't long before they arrived at a mansion.

"See if you're satisfied with this place." The steward was smiling all the way, and also introduced some of the residents of the inner city along the way. For example, this one is a fifth-level master, that one is a sixth-level assassin, this one is a seventh-level assassin, that one is an eighth-level assassin, and so on.

"No need to look, the steward personally picked it, how could there be any possibility of dissatisfaction?" Wang Sheng wasn't so short-sighted as to be foolish, he didn't even look directly, and waved his hand: "This is it."

The steward smiled and pointed at Wang Sheng, but didn't say a word, pushed open the door and started introducing it to Wang Sheng.

"This place is not far from the City Lord's mansion, you can see it from here." The steward stood in the courtyard and pointed in a certain direction. Wang Sheng followed his finger and saw the buildings and rooftops of the City Lord's mansion.

"A two-courtyard house, quiet in the midst of noise." The two were in the first courtyard, and could still hear the sounds of the street. The steward pointed inside and said: "It's much quieter inside."

Wang Sheng nodded with a smile, indescribably satisfied.

"On both sides, this neighbor is a seventh-level master. That neighbor is a sixth-level assassin." The steward continued to introduce: "Living here, it's just safe. No one dares to do anything here, otherwise the entire inner city will attack them."

This was one of the reasons why Wang Sheng wanted to enter the inner city. After hearing this, he nodded quickly, the smile on his face never stopping.

"Look here, a little surprise for you." The steward said, pointing to a room in the courtyard and saying to Wang Sheng: "Go in and take a look."

Wang Sheng followed his words and opened the door, but was stunned by what he saw.

This room was clearly a shop facing the street, not knowing what it used to sell, but now, it had been completely transformed into the exact same structure as Wang Sheng's small storefront. A huge metal chopping board, with a horizontal metal beam above it, and a string of bright meat hooks hanging on the beam.

It had copied Wang Sheng's shop over, no wonder the steward said it was a little surprise.
