E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 121 - Suspicion

...- City of Venice -...

About 1 week had passed since Leo returned to Venice with the knowledge and enlightenment of Igor. At the moment, he is working according to his advice. Including the management of troops and also the supply of soldiers.

Given that currently the only source of food is from the sea, then Leo deployed most of the labor there. Creating a great job to catch a lot of fish and also hunt whales.

The proceeds from the hunt were then neatly shared by traders who were in detail chosen by Leo himself.

The merchants will then share it for free. Thas right. Currently Leo subsidizes all the necessities in Venice City with his personal property as well as the treasures buried in the city hall.

The division doesn't just stop in Venice. But it also continued throughout the entire Western region of Rustfell. Even to reach a remote village.

Instead, Leo gave a fairly simple speech.

"If you can live and eat in this cruel winter because of me, then be thankful. That's because I won't ask for a single penny from you. I'll promise you that, as long as I'm alive and able to work.

But if you feel like helping family, friends, lovers, whatever it is. If you want to do it, and want to work with me to save ourselves all together, then sign up.

Everything without exception I will accept as a soldier to help me distribute food, drinks, and also various other needs in this region, including maintaining the peace of this region. Of course, with a decent enough pay."

With just that short speech, Leo managed to attract the hearts of the many remaining inhabitants of the Western region of Rustfell. Even small children try to enlist in the military to help.

When asked the reason by the officer in charge of the recruitment of the soldier....

"Master Leo is awesome! I will register as a soldier just to fulfill his wish!"

"I won't let Mr. Leo work so hard alone. Even if I can't do much, I'll keep fighting as hard as I can."

What a truly extraordinary situation.

Arguably, the government built by Leo is very efficient and also effective. Addressing the various problems left behind by Duke Achibald's previous insane decision.

But of course, nothing is perfect.

The only weakness in the system of government built by Leo is the economic leak. All of that was formed because Leo helped the residents too much without even asking for a profit.

Naturally, no human still has the heart to rob those who have been robbed by previous rulers.

Even so....

"Mr Leo, administration report this week." Said Selene who gave a stack of paper on the table.

Leo quickly read all the reports. Although at this time he has begun to feel troublesome and uncomfortable because he only has one eye to work.

'Is there any magic or anything like that to grow organs that are already lost? Or mechanical eyes?! No. gabe.... That can't be there, can it?' Leo thought as he continued reading the report.

On each sheet of paper, all ends with a negative sign at the very bottom. Indicates that from all sectors and also businesses end up experiencing losses.

Even the number is no longer responsible.

"If it continues like this, it seems that Venice City will go bankrupt in 4 months." Said Leo while laughing lightly.

"Master! Don't laugh at that! Isn't this already very dangerous? If the City goes bankrupt, won't everything we've built today collapse?" Selene asked with a worried face.

"Just calm down, 4 more months, right? Just think about it later. By the time it comes, we're no longer in that fucking winter. In other words, the business will reopen." Reply Leo while laying down his body on the wooden chair.

His right eye seemed to be glancing towards Selene in a very relaxed manner. So did that thin smile that seemed to underestimate it.

With a face that became sour, Selene immediately returned to sit in her own chair and immediately worked.

A while passed with the two who were busy working, until finally someone came to open the door of the room.

'Czech!'

But the figure before him was quite shocking. He is none other than the top of the public relations section. The main task is none other than to keep the atmosphere of this region in a positive condition.

That person is none other than Artemis.

"Yeah, Leo. It's been a long time since I've seen you." Artemis said with a sweet smile. Now, her hair tied in a twintail style looks so cute. Moreover, with a beautiful bluish black color and length that reaches the waist.

It's just....

"Oi, don't you get cold in such skimpy clothes?" Tanya Lep commented on the clothes worn by Artemis.

What he was wearing was just a short sleeveless shirt, which had an open top button in plain black. Above it was a jacket that was also sleeveless with a beautiful deep blue color.

The jacket had a hood on its back and an emblem indicating that he was a superior.

As for the bottom, Artemis only wore dark blue shorts that were only along above her knees. The black leather shoes seemed to cover his feet slightly above his eyes.

"I am the one who is astonished by you. Isn't it hot in thick clothes like that?" Artemis asked who immediately closed the door before walking closer to Leo.

He pulled a wooden chair in front of Leo's desk and sat down with the back of the chair in front of him. Use it as a focus for both arms.

"So, why are you here?" Ask Leo briefly.

"As usual get straight to the point huh? Okay...." Artemis said while throwing a paper.

Leo, confused by Artemis' attitude, asked.

"What's this?" Ask Leo.

"Read it. It was the result of my summary of the entire situation in the human kingdom. Uh! But don't be mad if my writing is ugly!" Artemis said excitedly.

Selene who was also curious about the contents of the Artemis summary immediately stood up from her chair. Walk slowly towards Leo to see him together.

After reading it for a while, the calm expression on Leo's face immediately changed drastically. He looked so tense, no, it might seem pretty freaked out by what he had just read.

"Artemis?! Are you serious about all this?!" Shouted Leo loudly.

"Why am I lying? After all, it was the reports of the travelers as well as the merchants that myself or his subordinates met. So we still don't know the authenticity. It's just, I'm sure they won't lie too far." Reply Artemis.

Now, what is in front of Leo is not a paper with a bad enough writing.

It was rather the most absurd collection of information he had ever seen.

The war between Mulderberg and Maelfall and Rustfell is taking place according to some traders from the Mulderberg region. Then cannibalism in the Lake Town area according to the locals.

Not only that, based on information from residents in Daeta City, they heard that Eastfort had fallen in the hands of the devil. Along with the Maelfall region.

But according to a statement from the merchant who came from Maelfall, the Maelfall Region was at war with the human troops in Eastfort. And a statement that Eastfort is still intact, only now in the leadership of the greatest tyrant, Feris.

It also included a statement that Duke Theodore in the Eastfort region had revolted against Feris.

All this information makes no sense at all. Because they all seem to overlap each other.

And with that, Leo realized it.

That something, someone, or worse, Satan has infiltrated the human kingdom.

But....

"Since when?!"
