E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 66 - Management

Arriving at the inn, Leo immediately conveyed this new thing to all his subordinates. Including about 10 new slaves of which 7 are women and the remaining 3 are men.

"They are our new family. Please teach them the basics of life here and be nice to them." Said Leo in front of all his subordinates.

"Ready, Mr. Leo." Answer everything in unison.

While the 10 new slaves stood behind him and also Selene. They were all still doubtful about their fate in the future. It is only natural that slaves received bad luck far more often than good luck.

Even more so when bought by rich people. Dumping them and buying a new one may be cheaper than giving them a decent meal.

But nevertheless....

Leo turned his body. And now speak to the 10 new slaves.

"Artra, come here." Said Leo to one of the 2 educated slaves.

"Yes, Mr Leo?" Ask the man confused.

"New job for you. You'll lead them all into running the diner I just bought. Starting from renovating to running the shop business itself.

As for the benefits, I will only ask for 30. The rest will be yours. Of course, you have to manage a good working environment. Understood?" Ask Leo to the man named Artra.

His eyes were wide open as if he could not believe what he had just heard. Similarly, cold sweat began to pour on his face.

"Wait a minute, Mr Leo?! Is this not too fast?! I just got here yesterday and now....."

Leo quickly cut the man's words.

"That's how much I believe in your abilities. As for whether you'll fulfill it or run away like your friend, you'll choose."

With those words, Artra recalled the figure of the person who should have come here with the two of them.

But because He decided to steal Mr. Leo's sword and run away, He finally got a very bad fate.

After thinking about it for a moment, Artra also steadied his mind.

"Of course, I wouldn't run like that. Anyways.... Have I not gained too much good now? I'm even confused to reply."

The 10 slaves who had just come were visibly confused by this state of affairs. They seem to be unable to believe what happened.

Is it true that their new master is really a good person? Is he really not going to torture?

"Enough to show your work. Then I won't ask for more. As for you guys...." Said Leo who now turned his gaze back to the 10 slaves.

"I honestly want to apologize because the room in this inn is almost full. So I'll give you two choices. Between you sleeping on this first floor, of course I will buy a mattress for a while.

Or you guys clean the 2nd floor of the diner I just bought. There should be enough room to live between men and women separately. Of course, I will also meet all your needs. How's it?" Ask Leo at length.

The 10 slaves stared at each other. Confusion to give an answer like what so that their lives are not threatened.

But one of them answered bravely enough. He firmly believed that this man before him, at least not one who would be cruel as long as they did nothing wrong.

Raising his right hand, the man asked permission to answer. Which Leo quickly gave by nodding his head.

"Mr Leo.... Will we really be able to stay there as long as we clean it?" Ask the guy.

"of course. That's what I just said."

"Then.... About her work...."

"For now there is no need to think about it. The old building still needs renovation. So during the renovation, you are free to do anything as long as you do not run away. After that, I'll have you work at the diner." Answer Leo.

He could not believe what he had just heard. But after all, this was his chance and the others who were with him to finally live as a free human being.

Although his release was a little conditional, it was much better than having to be tortured at the slave market if he did not sell.

And for now, the most appropriate answer is....

"Thank you very much, Mr. Leo."

That way, the leadership of the group of workers in the tavern will be handed over to Artra. Give him the opportunity to explore his own abilities and live more freely.

They finally left the inn. But before that....

Just as he turned his head, a slightly heavy leather bag was thrown towards him. Both of his hands reflexively caught him without a second thought.

"What is this, sir?" Tanya Artra was confused.

"50 platinum coins. Do what you need to do to fix the store and take care of them all." Said Leo.

"You sure? To entrust this great thing to me...."

"Just calm. If you run away or abandon your responsibilities, I'll beat you up." Reply Leo while giving a thin smile with both eyes closed.

"Haha.... Of course, I wouldn't dare to do it, sir."

After everything was sorted out, Leo turned his gaze to another educated man.

It has a simple appearance. With his short black hair, as well as his pretty neat clothes in black and white, he still stood in confusion in the middle of this room.

Waiting to see if there will be any tasks assigned to him.

"Ferry, come with me for a minute." Said Leo while embracing the man's shoulder.

"Okay, Mr. Leo." Reply to the Man.

The two walked towards Leo's office. Selene is seen following them from behind.

While standing right in front of the door of the room, Leo pulled out the key from the pocket behind his clothes. After all, everything inside this room was a treasure that could only be entrusted to himself.

It is a treasure of knowledge.

'Couche!'

As the door opened, even Ferry was shocked to see the contents of the room. A room full of books and paper and various stationery and tools.

'That's Mr. Leo.... Turns out someone as great as this?'

Ferry had always thought that Leo was just a rich merchant. But he never thought that Leo could even surpass the best academics in the city. Even far beyond her who had gone through higher education before.

With a sense of awe, his consciousness returned when Leo showed me some sheets of paper.

"I don't know if you'll understand it, but I want you to keep track of the prices of every commodity on the market in every district every day. Every time you ask for a price, give them 1 silver coin.

At least with that they will tell the actual price and provide additional useful information. If you do well, you'll probably be done after noon." Leo is quite long.

What it shows is a table that lists commodities and prices, as well as a large, long paper with charts based on that data.

It didn't take long for Ferry to notice.

After realizing what Leo wanted to do, Ferry's eyes opened wide with gaping mouths.

"Ja-don't tell me.... With this graph.... Aren't we able to manipulate the market according to the timing?!" Ferry asked in surprise.

A simple thing. Everyone knows that in certain seasons and months, the price of an item will go up or down.

But unfortunately, no one knows for sure when and what causes the price change. If anyone can find out fully about it....

Then the market will be entirely subject to it.

"You're pretty smart, too. So you understand your new job? Take it easy, I'll take care of everything. And you too I will pay you well. How's it?" Ask Leo.

At that moment, Ferry knew. That he may have just met one of the people who will become a great figure in the future.

Somebody's....

Who will probably rule this world with the power of knowledge and also money.

Because that's....

"It's not as good as you think about this, Mr. Leo. But I will always follow your steps."

In Ferry's mind, he could only imagine what kind of breakthrough the man named Leo would make in the future. His heart could only beat fast to find out his next move.
