The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 20

"Miss told us to make it look like we had an accident, right?" Asked a man while dragging an unconscious body to the edge of the abyss.

"Yes. Try not to let anyone suspect him. He's been helping us get rid of this guy." His friend said while destroying the horse carriage.

"Every month this person always brings young people from our village with the lure of work, it turns out they are sold." The other upset.

"Our village has been banished by kings and emperors because of its condition. Lucky Baron Calisius will survive to lead this village."

"Unfortunately he was killed by this bastard."

"That's it. What if they've come to their senses and heard our conversation?" One of them commemorates while throwing Michael's body into the ravine.

"Leave it. It was fortunate that someone wanted to replace the position of Baron in this wasted village. Even though that miss is the Duke's rumored daughter who is cruel or whatever, but our situation has improved thanks to her."

"I agree. But why is the empress making our village difficult? Though they had wiped this village off the map of the kingdom as well as empire."

"That's the business above. We better get going." Say the other.

After making sure there was no suspicious trace, they immediately left the place, leaving behind some people lying unconscious with bloody heads. The surrounding conditions were extremely chaotic with the former fight around there.

Those people didn't die. They just fainted with a wound on their head. At least they'll wake up later tonight or tomorrow morning, unless Michael is seriously injured. The man's body was thrown into the abyss. It's been confirmed that the man died there.

After they disappeared, one of them began to move his fingers slowly. He heard all their conversations and opened his eyes slowly.

The man decided to leave there limping away from the place. His ruthless employer is dead and he has no place to stay. Soon the man went towards the direction of the village to hide.

Leona had finished treating the wounded servants then stared intently at them. Even though they were servants, they were his people now.

Michael is a distant cousin of the empress family who is the owner of a notorious trade union. He did not hesitate to blackmail poor nobles to transact at very expensive prices and kidnap some young village girls for sale. Even thanks to him, the Tigries clan and the demon race had been lost in the kingdom of Seanthuria.

"Why don't you fight?" Leona asked as she looked at them one by one.

"We dare not, Miss. Considering she was the empress' relative while we were just servants." Arelle's voice represented the others while looking down in fear.

Leona breathed a tired sigh. If this is the case then they will be increasingly oppressed by others later.

"alright. Looks like you all need special training so this doesn't happen again." Leona said firmly.

The servants just kept quiet. They dare not argue.

"From tomorrow I will train you for two months. Prepare yourself."

"None right."

Leona immediately left them and met the young man. With Leona's bars kicking Jim's office door to the surprise of the two people who were there.

"Sorry to wait a long time." Leona said while grinning without sin.

"Miss Leona, I've reminded you many times to be polite. Just once, please." Pinta Jim rubbed his face in annoyance.

"Come, Uncle. That's too much trouble. Please." Please." Reply Leona fierce. Jim relented. Arguing with Leona would drain her emotions and sanity.

Leona looked at the young man sharply. The young man could only break out in cold sweat with a gaze that looked like a predator eyeing its prey.

"So, you're the son of a bitch's assistant?" Ask Leona to the point.

"It is not allowed in any way." Firm Leona.

"I had to do it. I worked hard but never got paid. I need money to survive. Every day he tortures me and forces me to work." His voice was firm with a tone of hatred. Leona smiled. It seemed like he was a suitable person to be his business partner.

"You want to work with me? I need you for my business. You only get thirty-five percent, considering that the raw materials and manufacture are on me." Leona said seriously.

The young man seemed to think for a while and then asked Leona a question. "Will I be paid if I cooperate?"

"of course. Thirty-five percent of the money is yours." Leona. Thirty-five percent of the money from trading results is a fantastic advantage.

"alright. I concur. I hope you keep the promise."

"of course. It's his cooperation letter." Leona offered the cooperation letter to the young man she received with a tense look. The young man read it carefully and looked at Leona seriously.

"Alright, Miss. I agree."

"Then thank you. By the way we might not be able to meet in person because I will be entering the academy soon. You can meet Jim, my uncle. Because he's the one who replaced me in this business." Leona.

"No problem. I'm Saga Xianxin." by the way." The young man introduced himself. He has a handsome Chinese-European face, a firm jaw with purple slanted eyes and has jet-black hair.

"I'm Leona Arathena Castallio and she's Jimmy Kirito Calisius."

💠💠💠💠

Leona finally trains the waiter at Calisius's residence. They are physically trained hard. Within two months they had been proficient in martial arts and could use a variety of weapons.

Leona also trained them in medical science and introduced poison and antidote, just in case something unexpected happened at Calisius's residence.

Leona also gave a book to each of the maids under the title 'Alloy to Making Mental Opponent Down' which made the servants frown.

"Maybe you need it someday. Learn that, it's possible that you'll want to defeat your opponent once on the attack." Leona said casually and passed from there.

The construction of the village has been completed eighty percent. Most of the houses have been completed. Leona also made village halls, libraries, clock towers, hospitals, schools as well as several workplaces. He wanted this village to become more advanced in any case.

Leona also trains the villagers who are still productive along with some servants and demons. They were taught various things ranging from martial arts, weapons as well as modern and ancient medicines, and little poison.

Leona secretly helped build several houses with her wooden elements so that several houses were completed in a short time.

The originally slum village now looks neatly arranged. The dilapidated houses are now no longer seen replaced with wooden houses that look sturdy and beautiful. Do not forget the wooden fence and a large tree in front of the house residents that make it look like a beautiful tunnel.

The village eventually had a clock tower, a modern-style hospital, a library, schools and jobs. Although only ninety percent completed, the villagers were very happy and celebrated by making a festival at the beginning of winter.

Jim looked at Leona proudly. Although the girl is only a niece of her distant cousin, Leona has made major changes to the village of the baron Calisius.

"You have succeeded in making this village better, Leona." Jim said in a proud tone while patting Leona warmly on the head.

"That's because they want to change, Uncle. If they don't want to change, then there will be no progress here." Reply Leona while sipping warm lemonade.

They sat in front of the fireplace reading books and enjoying a snack together. Leona loves this village. The quiet place with the beautiful scenery as well as the many hidden treasures made him smile in satisfaction. The village was wealthy but was thrown out by the king, so Leona made the most of it before the people took it.

Leona smiled obliquely. The king was very stupid by his estimation. In any case this village is close to the other three kingdoms which are strategic paths. Unfortunately they are so stupid and prefer the position of the throne rather than building the country.

Duke Castallio certainly did not know this because he was busy being a royal dog. He only focused on training his soldiers as well as eradicating monsters and forgetting about this village.

Although most of the inhabitants are Nolids as well as outcasts, if honed they can be dangerous people. I don't know what the emperor and the king thought to wipe out this beautiful paradise-like village, which Leona would definitely make them ketar ketir.
