THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 227: RUMERK CITY
Everyone in Victory Province knew of Myro's arrival towards Jalrus City, therefore many officials and leaders of the surrounding cities came to Jalrus City to welcome Myro's arrival.
With the arrival of mayors from various regions around the city of Jalrus, a large enough party could be held welcoming the arrival of Myro.
Not only Myro who get a fancy party, the residents of Jalrus City are also allowed to take food at the party.
As for the cost of the party, the officials and mayors who came were much more prosperous than the mayor of Jalrus City, so they were the ones who financed the party.
They also did not refuse to pay the party, however they were in their current position and made a lot of money due to Myro's choice, therefore they had to make Myro happy so that their position would not change.
When the party was over and everyone returned to their respective rooms that the mayor of Jalrus had prepared, Myro secretly met with Ren and Yorou.
Ren and Yorou were already sitting on the chairs around the table that was on Myro's bedroom, they did not stand respectfully welcoming the arrival of Myro who was very strange.
As Myro approached, he said, "Today's plan is going according to plan, tomorrow we will act according to the previous rules of going around the city with all the officials and mayors present to the City of Jalrus. Remember well, our goal is to be Mr. Myro, Miss Ren and Mr. Yorou, lest anyone know our disguises. As a member of the headquarters, show our abilities to master!".
Ren and Yorou stood up while saluting as well "Everything for Master Myro!".
...----------------...
The city which is next to the city of Jalrus and is famous for the prosperity of its territory is referred to as Rumerk City. Every day, merchants from Victory province and Northern Province would pass through each other to be able to trade to other provinces, so there were a lot of taxes obtained by the Rumerk City government from passing merchants.
In a small Rumerk City inn that did not attract anyone, the figure of 3 people was gathering in a room while discussing something.
A young man stood in front of the window while observing Rumerk City which remained crowded at night while the 2 people behind him were a young woman and a grown man.
If any of the officials or officials in the Victory Province region saw the 3 people, they would be shocked to almost disbelieve because Myro should be in the City of Jalrus, how could he now stand in the Rumerk City inn.
Myro who was staring at the window sighed "Rumerk City is indeed very lively as a border city, although not as advanced as Loth City, but Rumerk City is not the provincial capital. It seems that the income from merchant taxes is not low, the lives of residents here are indeed becoming more prosperous".
Yorou behind Myro said worriedly "Master, is it okay to move to another city without a lot of bodyguards? Although I am able to protect master, but just in case, won't the more bodyguards the better?".
Myro shook his head "Yorou, if I bring hundreds to thousands of bodyguards, will the officials and mayors in the surrounding area not notice? Don't forget, our goal here is to keep a secret eye on Rumerk City while our 3 fake selves in Jalrus City, they are a distraction. With the fake Myro drawing attention, all the officials and mayors of Rumerk City are not here which makes it easier for us to keep an eye on the whole city".
Seeing Yorou trying to persuade Myro again, Ren joined in speaking "Uncle Yorou, what master said is right! In addition, the best way to do a check on a city is to keep the visit we do secret. If the mayor of Rumerk City knew of the arrival of the lord, he would have covered up all the weaknesses of Rumerk City as quickly as possible. Not to mention the purpose we came here as per the report Feld received, there were some dark actions between the city officials and the wholesalers in Rumerk City".
Since Ren coaxed her, Yorou did not say more and simply bowed to Myro "During the secret surveillance that master did, Yorou must have protected the master with all her might even if it meant losing her life".
"You don't need to worry" Myro said smilingly "There shouldn't be many people who know my face in Rumerk City, let alone most of the officials who know my face must have gone towards Jalrus City. While the one who knew of my arrival to Rumerk City was only Yorou, Ren, Lana and Feld, how could anyone else know of my arrival here and send assassins? So tomorrow we're not at war, but just watching the city while breathing in from a week of busy work".
"What you say is true! Uncle Yorou, I am also here so that with our existence, there is no problem towards the protection of master" Ren said.
Yorou nodded, if no one else knew of Myro's arrival here, then there would be no assassins or strongmen sent to kill Myro.
Well then, tomorrow's trip shouldn't have any problems. Although there was no need to worry anymore, Yorou would not lower her guard because Myro's life and death were very important. He would not let his guard down if it was Myro's life problem.
Myro who was staring at the street of Rumerk City immediately smiled "Tomorrow, let's see! Does the prosperous city that shines bright even at night really have a dark side or do the reports Feld receives are just false reports?".
...----------------...
The next morning, Myro along with Ren and the fake Yorou started carrying officials and the mayor around to check on Jalrus City.
As long as there were officials or mayors trying to go back to his city, the fake Myro must have stopped him.
After all, the purpose of disguising himself as a fake Myro was to distract these higher-ups and mayors as long as Myro did the examination, do not let them leave for at least the next 2 days.
Under Myro's false invitation, no official or mayor would dare to refuse to stay.
However, Myro is their direct superior, if Myro is not happy, their position can be released at any time.
Therefore, everyone stayed behind and walked around with the fake Myro.
On the other hand, the original Myro had left their inn yesterday with Ren as well as the real Yorou.
Although they do not wear masks that hide their faces because most of the population certainly do not recognize Myro, except residents in the city of Loth who have mostly seen the face of Myro.
But Myro and the others still wore robes that covered most of their faces in order to make the chances of being found even smaller.
