E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 104 - Substitute

A few hours passed.

The sweep inside the town hall continued. Where Leo becomes an executor, while Selene becomes a purifier.

Reina who from the beginning was always alive in the light seemed unable to see all this cruelty. Although, he understood little after his experience at Maelfall.

In the end, a total of 61 employees at the town hall were executed directly by Leo. The rest are just 28 people.

These 28 people are those whom Leo says are not involved in crime at all, have the skills he needs to manage this City, he said, or those who commit only minimal crimes such as hiring entertainers or committing petty corruption.

After all, Leo can't kill everything. If He did, He would not have full power over this city.

After everything is gathered, Leo calls Ferry to go inside. So also with 30 soldiers to clean up all the blood and chaos in it well.

Ferry is one of Leo's right-hand men who can be trusted by him in dealing with a much more complicated problem than anyone else can handle.

Thanks to his background and intelligence, Leo believed him to be the head of all employees in this city hall.

"That's how you'll lead and rule them all. Whatever you need, just tell me. Be it money, energy, or anything else. Can I trust you?" Ask Leo.

Ferry was seen smiling with satisfaction at the offer from Leo.

"It is a great honor to gain this trust from you, Sir. I'll work well and live up to your expectations. Then for that price mapping project...." Ask Ferry for a bit.

"You can look for the person who replaced you for a while. Today, the City of Venice has a bigger and more important crisis than charting prices." Reply Leo.

"Okay, Mr. Leo. I'll try to do it as best I can." Reply Ferry.

Shortly after He turned his back, Ferry's meek and kind expression immediately changed. His face looked so solemn and cold at the same time.

"You hear? Right now I hold full responsibility towards you. If you work well, I'll give you a gift. Otherwise, I wouldn't be as kind as Mr. Leo to kill you quickly.

But I'm gonna put you in jail to rot in it to death." Firmly Ferry with a sharp look.

The words certainly made all the remaining servants feel frightened. But on the other hand, those who really just want to work for this city look happy.

"Are you really going to give a gift?"

"What kind of gift is that?"

Some of the officers seemed to ask. Hearing that, Ferry seemed to turn to Leo for a moment.

Leo who understood what he meant immediately nodded his head lightly.

"At least, I'll give you enough money. About 5 or more platinum coins a month for those who do a good job." Reply Ferry.

5 platinum coins. A big unheard payday for the boss in Leo's group. But for people on the outside, it was a huge payday as some of them rarely even saw the form of the platinum coin itself.

"You are free to use it for anything, as long as it does not violate the law that will be applied in the future."

Leo smiled proudly hearing the words from Ferry. It was as if Ferry could really predict what Leo would do next.

That is to make a new addition to the existing laws in this city.

Satisfied, Leo leaves the Ferry with them. Meanwhile, the Leo soldiers were busy cleaning up the corpses and blood that splattered in many places. Fouled the city hall that would become their new headquarters.

Upon his arrival outside, Leo soon meets Artra to deliver his new assignment.

"Artra, this time your job is to manage the entire business that I will create in this city. You're free to appoint anyone you think is worthy to help you. As for the money issue, just calm down. I'll handle it." Obviously Leo.

"You mean it with that? Didn't Miss Feris no longer order weapons because you thought you were fighting?" Ask Artra.

Given the current condition of the city of Venice, Artra who is indeed a reliable businessman also understands the financial condition of Leo because it often helps him make records.

One of them is that Leo's biggest money earners are on gun reservations by Eastfort.

Then for the Moon Shop and also the herb shop, although it has grown rapidly since then, now both will not be expected.

Simple reason.

There is no market that can afford to buy goods from both businesses. Let alone Leo's business. The food market alone is currently closed because there are no goods and also no buyers.

Most of the money had been withdrawn by Duke Achibald to help him buy war equipment. While most of the food in the city is also withdrawn to be the supply of soldiers during the trip and war.

However, because of the good management of Leo, including himself who is not too use most of his money....

"Just calm. I still have at least 2,000 platinum coins at the moment. It can last for a few weeks or a month if it is good enough. In the meantime, I'll find another source." Reply Leo.

Artra who heard it a little. That's because the money that Leo is referring to is his personal money. He does not want his Master to be troubled again for the sake of others.

But nevertheless....

"All right, Mr. Leo. I'll do it as best I can." Reply Artra by force.

He has understood the attitude of his Master who will not back down after deciding something. How hard he tried to convince his Master, Leo would never take his words back.

And the only way to appreciate Leo's attitude is to try your hardest to live up to his expectations.

On the other hand, Artemis who had been sitting on the train listening to Leo's talk began to understand the situation and asked.

"Leo, what should I do?" Ask Artemis.

A faint smile was seen on Leo's face. He did not expect that Artemis, who usually only valued the money, offered to do something.

And Leo already knew what Artemis needed to do.

"Artemis, I want you to go around town. Not only to help heal those in need, but also to seek out women who are still young enough with a strong physique.

Gather them and take them to the courtyard of this town hall. Since there are no more young men, I can no longer be too picky. Whoever they are, I'll make them an army. Temporary police to keep order in this city." Obviously Leo is quite long.

Artemis' eyes opened wide after hearing Leo's explanation.

"Women police?! You serious?! And I will be their commander?!" Shouted Artemis with a wide smile.

"That's right, Artemis. Can I trust you?" Ask Leo.

"Of course!"

Leo was quite pleased with the attitude given by Artemis. And to help him do that....

"Bring two female soldiers with you. Given the situation of this city, maybe they're starting to hate men a little. I'll prepare weapons for them.

Artra, gather whoever can still forge and find the nearest forging location from this town hall. We'll make our own weapons." Obviously Leo.

"Far off, my lord."

In the distance, the soldiers of the city hall guards seemed confused by what had just happened.

Leo who understood it immediately walked over along with 6 bodyguard soldiers.

With a face full of confidence and a very convincing attitude, Leo spoke quite loudly.

"All of you, spread this information. Alexander Leonardo von Rustellia will replace the government in this city for a while to overcome the crisis that occurred.

Trust me. On behalf of this Rustellia, I will save you all through the chaos of this city as well as the deadly winter."

Leo's words, especially hearing the word save on behalf of his family, the city hall guards were stunned. And even began to be amazed.

"Finally...."

"There's a nobleman who's really going to do his job...."

"Stupid! What are you saying?"

"Well, forgive us, sir."

Leo simply smiled to show his hospitality.

"No problem. But can I entrust that to you?" Ask Leo in a soft voice.

"Of course!" Reply them in unison. Now with a look full of respect.

With that in mind, right now, Leo was beginning to gain some power in this moribund City.

Meanwhile, winter itself is still long. And the city of Venice is not the only city to suffer for Duke Achibald's selfish actions. But the entire Rustfell region itself is also experiencing a crisis similar to, or worse than, Venice.
