After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1360

Chapter 1360: Bugs

Anyway, if they were willing to spend maybe 70 gold for each dying slave he had (he happened to have a lot), maybe he’d consider it.

He took a mental note to send a letter back this time. Maybe that new town would be foolish enough to take it.

That said, if they really could afford that much, it planted a bit more greed in Mafo’s head.

How much money would they have, then? And how did they get so much?

At this, he looked at Houlu. "Investigate this Alterra," he said. "And give me good information within the week!"

"Yes, Milord," Houlu said, disappearing into the crowd.

Mafo’s pushed that issue aside for now, focusing on building a wider network in the region.

He had to make a good appearance in front of the other lords and nobles, wearing his most expensive clothes and accessories. Sadly, he was still unsightly no matter what good clothing he wore.

Rather, such expensive fabric on him made him look gaudy.

Mafo was famously among the ugliest people anyone would ever meet, It was just that no one dared say it out loud lest they wanted to get beheaded—as were hundreds of people through his lifetime.

Fortunately for him, he was powerful enough that even the nobles didn’t insult him directly.

After gathering himself and greeting a few more people, he went to greet the mysterious nobleman. He had guards around him as he ate silently, which was good because this meant he could have his attention to himself.

Unexpectedly, he was blocked when he approached!!

Mafo gritted his teeth. He was Lord so he didn’t think they’d block him!

However, he could only grit his teeth. After all, either of his guards was even stronger than he was!

Awkward moments passed by and Mafo’s face turned red when he realized there were so many people looking in their direction, whispering, and he had no doubt many of them were laughing behind his back!

Damnit!

Fortunately, before he could explode and become even angrier, the mysterious nobleman waved his hand.

"It’s fine," he said, and Mafo heaved a deep breath, sitting in front of the man.

"Hello, young master," Mafo said. "I am Mafo, the Lord of Voumi Town. It is nice to meet you."

He did the salute between equals, knowing full well that despite being the Lord, he was of little match to the other party when it came to strength and backing.

Mafo was very arrogant but he couldn’t have lasted as a Lord if he couldn’t adjust to those with power.

"Just call me Cauis," the bespectacled man said, reciprocating the greeting. However, he made no move to say anything else, and Mafo realized he wasn’t planning on revealing anything.
