Since Kisha wasn’t allowed to assist, she focused on Marcus. It was time to put Marcus’s ’Green Thumb’ gift and farming skills to good use. Although she didn’t have many slave contracts at the moment, she felt she could trust the Wyatts and was willing to take a gamble on them. However, if they betrayed her trust, she was prepared to deal with them personally.
"Marcus, as you can see, we’re opening new jobs and a Supply Center, so crops will be crucial. I want to appoint you as the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries. If you have any additional requests, let me know, and I’ll see if they’re feasible and fulfill them." Kisha went straight to the point, surprising Marcus.
He hadn’t anticipated that Kisha had plans for him or that he would be given such an important role.
He felt both happy and honored but was also anxious about living up to the expectations now placed on his shoulders. He hesitated for a moment until his twin grandsons nudged him, eagerly encouraging him to accept the role. They assured him of their full support, promising to help share the burden and ease his worries.
The Wyatts were unaware that Kisha had already anticipated their collaboration with their grandfather to boost crop yields, livestock, and aquaculture. Sparrow and Vulture exchanged glances, shaking their heads in silent communication. Their eyes conveyed a message: ’They have no idea they’ve fallen for the trap.
If Young Madam decided to sell them, they might even cheerfully count the money for her before heading to their cells.’
They both shook their heads with a chuckle. After spending more time with Kisha and Duke, Sparrow, and Vulture had developed such a strong rapport with Kisha that they had begun to understand her thought process. They could sense when she found someone useful or was planning something, even if they didn’t know the exact details.
They had learned to recognize the signs of her strategic and sometimes sinister intentions.
After a moment of hesitation, Marcus accepted Kisha’s proposal. His grandchildren were eager to support him, hoping to ease the burden he carried. They understood that their grandfather took on this responsibility to ensure their well-being and safety. Knowing that staying with Kisha and Duke meant they would be protected, they were determined to help in any way they could.
Moreover, they now had the opportunity for a better life, making it unthinkable to return to a time of hunger and waiting for their own bodies to fail them. This new responsibility wasn’t something that intimidated them; instead, they saw it as a chance to contribute and avoid feeling like a burden.
With the soldiers having distributed half of the food supply to the survivors—enough to last until the following morning—Kisha and the others left the task to them. They accompanied Mr. Winters to begin drafting the job openings, which would be posted on the bulletin board and at the Central Hall.
This way, everyone coming and going would easily see the available positions and help kickstart the Base’s projects.
All the leaders appointed by Kisha began drafting lists of job openings for their respective departments. The most extensive list came from Aston, who, as the head of the soldiers, had Sparrow, Vulture, and Bald Eagle reporting to him. With the increased need for patrols and other safety-related tasks at the Base, it was crucial to recruit more personnel to ensure effective coverage and security.
As if struck by a sudden realization, Aston asked while everyone else was focused on writing, "Kisha, are we also going to inform everyone about the awakened abilities?"
