My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 22

“What’s up with Captain Allen?”

“Letting a child take over the manor? He’s joking, right?”

More than ten Iron-tier warriors looked at Allen with a strange expression.

Allen was renowned in the manor, for he was a Bronze-tier warrior after all. He had always been proud and unyielding, so much so that he did not even smile or kneel when facing Miles. The most he would do was bow.

At that moment, however, he was kneeling in front of Watson as if he was desperate for the other party to stay. All else aside, Watson had killed Miles and was their enemy. Even if they might not be angry when they denounced Watson and told him to get lost, they should at least maintain some level of indifference toward him.

The other farmers were also discussing, but they were talking about the lion on Watson’s shoulder instead of Allen.

“Where did this golden lion come from? Could it be that the Feral Lion in the manor gave birth? But isn’t the Feral Lion red in color? Did it mutate?” a farmer asked in puzzlement as he bandaged his injured thigh.

“It looks quite cute.” The eyes of the female farmer next to him sparkled.

They were not that angry with Watson even though Watson hurt them, as they were the ones who had followed Miles’ orders to attack first. As simple farmers, it was good enough that they could survive in that world. They would not dare to blame anyone, especially not a Silver-tier powerhouse, unless they did not want to live anymore.

Listening to the discussions around him, Allen shook his head in his silence. What a bunch of ignorant fellows. If they knew that the magical beast lying on Watson’s shoulder was a Gold-tier magical beast, he wondered if they would still be as excited or whether they would kneel down in fear. Meanwhile, the guards were even more short-sighted.

“Are you sure you want me to stay?” Watson had a strange look on his face.

His original intention was to empty out all the property in the manor and sell the manor at the same time, ending everything once and for all.

“I’m sure!”

Allen hurriedly nodded. “It doesn’t matter what the others think. I’ll stick by your side! The magical beasts in the manor were all captured from the nearby Misty Forest. I’m very familiar with the place. I can catch at least ten magical beasts every month. You don’t need to give me money. You can just give me a few Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs and also one of the magical beasts you fused with magic.”

Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs!

“That’s right, how could we forget about this?”

The group of guards were somewhat tempted. They had almost forgotten that Watson had Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens in his house. Now they understood why Allen bowed down so subserviently. If he could eat Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs all the way, Allen might even be able to advance to Silver-tier. Nothing was more important for a professional than to increase their strength.

They did not care as much for the fused beasts that Allen mentioned.

“Alright, then I’ll take over this manor! How much did Miles give you for a month?”

Watson thought for a moment and realized that it was a good solution. As long as Allen could catch magical beasts, he could continuously fuse them to be sold. He did not need to fuse them into Gold-tier chimeras, as he could simply fuse ordinary ligers and sell them as Bronze-tier magical beasts. In addition, his family’s land included the chicken farm, which just so happened to lack people taking care of it.

“Lord Watson, sir! My salary is one gold coin a month. The other guards get twenty silver coins a month while the farmers get ten silver coins a month!”

Hearing Allen’s reply, Watson nodded and thought that Miles was quite generous.

It was not difficult to understand that even though Miles was such a stingy person, there was no one who would work under him if the salary he gave was not high enough. No matter how high the salary was set, the final amount would still depend on the master.

“From now on, everyone’s salary will be increased tenfold! Those who want to stay, take a step forward. Those who don’t want to stay, I won’t force them.” Watson waved his small hand.

Tenfold!

The eyes of everyone present were red. Not to mention them coveting the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken’s eggs, even if they could not see the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken, just this salary alone was enough to make them freeze there.

No one retreated. Instead, they all took a step forward.

“This month’s salary will be paid in advance. Allen, distribute the money on the ground to everyone first. See if there are any herbs in the house to treat the injured.” Watson gestured at the gold coins on the ground and stood up, “And also, please release my third and fourth siblings.”

Today was a day that would go down in Miles Manor’s history.

Allen’s actions were decisive and he soon distributed the money. The farmers held white silver coins in their hands, and the guards held the gold coins with smiles on their faces.

It was good that Miles died. Why did he not die earlier?

Some people could not help but have such thoughts. They felt that Miles was greedy for other people’s property and deserved to die. They had never seen that much money when Miles was the farm’s master. Even though they suspected that Watson’s acts were detrimental and all that property might soon be squandered, they were still happy to have all that property squandered on them.

…

While the whole manor was celebrating, Watson was already standing at the entrance of the dungeon. He watched as Allen walked into the dungeon and brought out his third and fourth siblings.

Watson felt a sourness in his nose when he finally saw his two brothers.

Zeke and Zenoah had stayed here for almost three days. Their bodies were covered with wounds and their clothes were out of shape. Only strips of cloth were sticking to the bloodstains on their bodies. Their faces were also covered in dust and were so dark that they looked like they had just come back from mining. Their breathing was weak and they had to support each other to stand.

Watson was still hesitating whether he had gone too far by killing Miles directly, but he had since regretted letting Miles die that easily.

“We’ve brought them out.” Allen glanced at the two of them and turned his head away silently. Zeke and Zenoah had been beaten for so many days and were nearly their last breaths. He felt sorry just looking at them.

“Zeke, Zenoah. I’m sorry I was late.”

Watson took a step forward and was about to hug the two brothers when Zeke rolled his eyes. “Who are you?”

“Yeah, we don’t know you. Hurry up and leave,” Zeke said.

Watson was stunned. Could it be that Zeke and Zenoah had lost their memories after being beaten?

Damn Miles. Watson’s hatred for miles deepened. He saw Zeke and Zenoah winking at him and gesturing to him to leave.

Zeke turned to Allen, “Mister, we’re not familiar with this man. Even if you want to arrest him, don’t arrest someone innocent.”

Allen came to his senses. He knew that Zeke and Zenoah recognized Watson but were trying their best to distance themselves from him, saying, “Stop acting. I know that Lord Watson is your brother! He’s killed Miles. You’re free now.”

Miles was dead?

It could not be a trap, could it?

“The body is over there.” Allen pointed to the side. Zeke and Zenoah looked over and saw a familiar fat figure lying on the ground, with his chest having been pierced by something. They were both surprised and happy.

“He’s really dead! That damn bastard. It’s good that he died.”

The two brothers ran to Miles’ body and delivered one kick each. Then they stumbled to Watson and looked at him carefully. “Watson, you came alone? Are you Hurt?”

Seeing that his two brothers were worried about him despite being seriously injured themselves, Watson felt warm and helped them up. “I’m fine. I’ll find a room for you two to rest for the night. We’ll go home tomorrow!”

The two brothers were not in any condition to travel now. Watson made up his mind and said, “Allen, go and bring all the medicinal herbs in the manor.”

“Yes, Lord Watson.”Allen cupped his fists and left, leaving Zeke and Zenoah who looked at each other in surprise.

Lord Watson…?

What happened during the time they were imprisoned.

“Zeke, Zenoah, I’m sure you haven’t known about it yet, but I’m the owner of this farm now,” Watson said indifferently after seeing the two brothers’ puzzlement. Those words shocked the two brothers so much that their jaws fell and their mouths were stuck in a gape for some time.
