My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Watson’s Ambition

A banquet was being held in Blackmoon Castle. There were more than 30 people sitting in the huge hall.
Edward and Catherine sat at the head of the table. Next to them were Watson and the two big businessmen. Behind them were their elder brothers and sisters, as well as the guards of the two caravans and the six farmers from Miles Manor. During that time, wine glasses were exchanged, and it was very lively.
“Young Master Watson, everything is done. We will set off tomorrow! Sigh, if it was possible, I’d really like to stay here for a longer period of time.”
Carter raised his wine glass and gave Watson a toast while lamenting.
“Yes, this is the first time I’m staying in such a large castle! There are hundreds of rooms, and I sleep in one every day. It’ll be different for every day of the year.”
Reynolds looked around and said.
One could live comfortably in Blackmoon Castle as well as eat good meat and bread every day. The group of guards were so happy that they did not even think about going home. They treated that place as heaven. If not for the fact that the business group still had a lot of things to deal with in Monte Town, Reynolds would have wanted to stay here for a few years and enjoy the treatment of a great noble.
“Uncles, don’t worry. This is your second home. You can stay here as long as you want.”
Watson smiled. Using fruit juice instead of wine, he accompanied the two merchants to have a drink.
The two merchants hurriedly thanked him and said, “We’ll come again when we have the chance.” They praised Watson for being sensible. Beside them, Watson’s third and fourth siblings looked at each other as if they had made an important decision, then said in unison, “When you two merchants leave, can you bring us along?”
They had witnessed the development of their family over the past few days. Edward was busy expanding his house, while his elder brother was in charge of teaching Watson. Other than his fifth and sixth siblings, who did not go downstairs, their seventh sibling, Scarlet would occasionally follow the guards out to hunt. Each person had something to do except for Zeke and Zenoah. It had already been their duty to sell the eggs of the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken. Now that they had a merchant to do it for them, they were bored out of their minds.
Because they had eaten quite a few eggs and had consumed the Seven Treasures Glazed Ginseng, their strength had increased to 2000 catties. During the past two days when they had nothing to do, they followed Vincent and learned how to train their combat aura, but it did not take long for them to give up.
It was not that they did not have talent, but they were just not interested to train. Their main interest was doing business. Since the two merchants were here, they decided to follow the two merchants to Monte Town to learn some advanced business methods. With that, they would be able to better manage their family businesses in the future.
“You guys want to go to Monte Town? You’re more than welcome. With the help of these two little brothers, our Travelling Wind Business Group will definitely develop better.” Reynolds’ eyes lit up when he heard that. He had been fretting over how to build a good relationship with Watson and win against Carter when the opportunity presented itself right there.
Zeke and Zenoah were Watson’s older brothers. As long as he became friends with these two, he wouldn’t have to worry about Watson not taking care of him a little more.
“How shameless can you be, Reynolds? Who said that these two little brothers must join your Travelling Wind Business Group? It’s obviously better to join our Lucky Business Group. Young Masters Zeke and Zenoah, you are free to choose. Who do you want to follow?”
Carter put down his wine glass heavily and pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
It was normal for Reynolds to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Watson. However, did he have to be so brazen as to act as though Carter did not exist?
Zeke and Zenoah looked at each other, revealing a sly smile.
“I want to go to the Lucky Business Group (Travelling Wind Business Group)!”
Zeke had chosen the Lucky Business Group, while Zenoah had chosen the Travelling Wind Business Group. The two brothers had telepathy, and they always synced with each other regardless of what they did. On that occasion, there was a rare disagreement.
Watson watched from the side and nodded to himself. These two brothers were really smart.
If they chose the same group, the other merchant would definitely be unhappy. It would be better for each of them to choose one. This way, they would be able to help the two merchants fight. After all, on the surface, the merchants groups were the ones in charge of teaching them. If, after a year, Zeke or Zenoah were to be outclassed because they weren’t skilled enough, it was the merchant that would lose their reputation.
“Good, good, good. Then Zeke will follow our Lucky Business Group! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely impart all my knowledge to you within a year at most,” Carter hurriedly said.
“Little Brother Zeke, don’t worry. If you follow the Travelling Wind Business Group, I guarantee that you won’t be inferior to your brother in terms of business-mindedness after a year.” Reynolds also said the same thing.
Those who could become great merchants were obviously intelligent people. After thinking for a moment, they understood what Zeke and Zenoah’s intentions were. However, they did not really mind, as it would still be beneficial to them.
“Reynolds, speaking it all you’re good it. The total assets of the Travelling Wind Business Group that you spent ten years to build are not as much as my assets. You better not overestimate yourself!”
“Carter, you’re the one who’s all big talk, isn’t that right? We’ll see what the result is like.”
Carter and Reynolds looked at each other. Their gazes collided in mid-air, creating an invisible spark. There was a faint sign that they were about to start a fight.
Such scenes happened a few times a day, and Watson was tired of watching it. In order to let his ears rest for a while, he stood up and said, “Everyone, eat slowly. I drank too much fruit juice. I need to go to the toilet first.”
After he finished speaking, he left the hall. Behind him came the sound of two businessmen arguing with each other, accompanied by the sound of slapping the table.
After leaving the mansion, Watson turned his head to look at the majestic castle that stood in the darkness. The corners of his mouth curled up, “Third and fourth brothers are going out to study. During this period of time, I’ll use the money I earned to expand the house once more! I also have to quickly recruit people. A few hundred bedrooms are not good to be left empty.”
Who would have thought a month ago that the family would develop to that extent? Even Watson did not expect it.
He had one ambition, and that was to expand the scope of the castle. With the castle as the center, there was Miles Manor to the east, boundary stones to the west, and Misty Forest to the north, he would annex all the nearby farms and would build a town more prosperous than Monte Town.
He did not tell his family about this idea. Otherwise, even his father, Edward, who was the most resilient, would be shocked to death when he heard it.
In the past, Watson only wanted to feed his family and let them live a better life. That simple desire had since changed. He wanted his family to become the largest town at the border and never again be bullied by anyone.
…
Outside the fence near the chicken farm.
Two messengers from Imperial City were lying on top of the fence, secretly looking inside.
“Am I seeing things? This family actually has Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens.”
Through the short spears and barbed wire erected on the fence, the female messengers discovered that behind the fence was a breeding farm, which was divided into two by a high fence. On the left side of the fence, five Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens.were pacing about, and the stone-built chicken coop was filled with colorful eggs. It was like a treasure trove. On the other side of the fence, the breeding farm was empty, and no one could see what was being raised.
“Only the great nobles are qualified to raise Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens. Five chickens… could it be that some great noble came to the border to develop? Why haven’t I heard about this? I must report this to the higher-ups.”
The female messenger’s eyes were burning, and she reached out to wipe the wall, “And this wall, it seems to be a Bronze-tier ore, black jade. How much does it cost to build a wall that is ten miles long using Bronze-tier ores? Even the border count who is in charge of the border is not that wealthy.”
The male messenger’s words came from behind, “I heard that this place was originally the territory of a poor baron. Perhaps it isn’t that a great noble migrated here, but that the baron made a fortune.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. How could a poor baron make a fortune? Even if he made a fortune, how could he build such a magnificent castle in such a short time?”
The female messenger had a look of disbelief on her face. She felt that someone had pulled her calf and asked, “Why? Do you think what I said is wrong?”
There was no sound. The feeling of her calf being pulled became stronger and stronger.
“What are you doing?”
The female messenger turned her head angrily and found the male messenger lying on the wall. He had a pale face and was trembling as he pointed at the ground below.
Under the wall, a little golden lion was pacing slowly. It was baring its teeth at the two of them, with its body emitting the terrifying aura of a Gold-tier magical beast.
