Chapter 404: Chapter 404 The Keli Family That Can’t Afford to Compete

Having understood the development situation here, Fang Jie knew that it was impossible to take the next step at this place for a while.

He could only continue to use the Land Creation Worms to manufacture land while developing and strengthening the military forces here. After all, with the strength of Worm Island, even if it were discovered, it was unlikely that the enemies could take it down.

As for Kapala Island nearby, he estimated that they would not take notice of the strength here.

What followed belonged to the category of "it wouldn’t benefit anyone to take it down, but it wouldn’t make a difference if left alone."

After some time had passed, Hillciss’s previous application had finally been approved. At this point, legally, Worm Island belonged to Hillciss, as there had been no previous owner, making acquisition relatively easy.

The only surprise was that the official handling the matter realized the island was much larger than expected and classified it as a medium-sized island.

But this didn’t attract much attention; the place had originally been desolate, and further investigations showed it still was. As for its large size, it was thought that perhaps some debris had fallen onto this area, causing the current situation.

Such occurrences were not unheard of; on the contrary, they happened quite often and were very common.

Worm Island was on the right track and continued to develop. Those who had come with Anya were all sent to serve under her by Fang Jie.

These people were no fools; of course, they knew what to do.

As women, trying to win the lord’s favor by vying for his attention was not advisable. Moreover, coming from the same place, they instinctively formed a coalition for mutual warmth.

Even if there were a few who couldn’t see the situation clearly, the others would remind them.

If there really was a fool among them, their families wouldn’t have had the guts to send them over in the first place.

As a result, although these people felt uncomfortable at first, they possessed abilities. After some time under Anya, they began to demonstrate their capabilities one by one.

While some indeed struggled with their personalities in these matters, others thrived effortlessly.

Indeed, sometimes strong women are not so because they are inherently strong, but because they have found the right platform for development. Now, the majority of these women were heading in the direction of becoming strong women.

At least that’s how it seemed to Fang Jie.

With these people around, Anya’s workload became much easier.

With such absolutely trustworthy companions, many things developed faster, as everyone wholeheartedly dedicated themselves to their future without needing to be told what to do.

It was at this time that Rory suddenly sent a message.

"Lord, please punish me; I failed to complete my task."

Fang Jie was puzzled, "What task?" He didn’t recall assigning Rory any particular mission.

"It’s the matter of consolidating the resources of the Keli family; I haven’t completed it. After the annihilation of the Keli family upper echelons, those beneath have completely lost control. Even knowing that their leaders are still alive, nobody is willing to follow orders."

Rory recounted his experience, revealing how vast the Keli family’s scale was.

The number of their family members was also very high; there were only a few of the direct lineage, but including all family members, there were tens of thousands. These longstanding families seemed to have significant numbers in their ranks.

After all, being the largest merchant family in the Sea Alliance, how could they have few people?

But after Fang Jie directly attacked their core and captured the upper layers, the family had completely fallen apart.

Later, when Rory tried to use his identity to integrate them again, he found that those people simply wouldn’t listen. Each of them harbored their personal ambitions and now was the perfect time to pursue them.

Only a minority eventually obeyed Rory’s orders.

Later, when Rory brought out the untouched higher-ups of the family, those individuals had gone mad. After tasting the sweetness of not having superiors, who would want to take orders?

Those people had been taken away; who knew what had become of them?

What if they had died, and those who appeared now were substitutes? Such things were not impossible.

With a myriad of methods in this world, whether it was through spirit control, demon control, or turning them into Undead and Vampires, they could all be made docile.

So, for various reasons, it was impossible to control these people.

Now, the Keli family had no hope of coming back together.

Eventually, Rory managed to integrate less than a fifth of the family’s original strength, his direct subordinates. Now they had joined Fang Jie’s camp and became a part of his forces.

But the remaining majority still did not obey his commands. Some had become independent, some had joined other powerful forces, and others had secretly gone into hiding, even changing their last names.

Because of these actions, Rory felt his mission was a complete failure.

"So it’s about this matter, no worries, we never really expected to be able to control them."

Indeed, Fang Jie was not concerned. The wealth of the Keli family might have been enormous, but he did not believe it was worth expending too much effort.

With enough time, it would be easy for him to earn several times the wealth of their family.

It was not worth spending too much effort on this. However, the goods Rory brought back couldn’t be wasted either. Just as the resources for the development of two Affiliated Territories were running short, an additional supply had arrived.

Fang Jie looked over the list then, with a sweep of his pen, allocated most of the wealth.

"Send these goods over to the Dark Night Elves, and these to Worm Island. As for you, in the future, one of the three big Human Islands will be yours."

Just like that, of the three big Human Islands overseas, Fang Jie had given away three, none left for himself.

Rory’s actions warranted such a reward. While Rory was reassured, he was also excited. The value of his life finally had the chance to be realized.

Hadn’t he left his family because there was no opportunity within it?

Now the family was destroyed, but his future would undoubtedly be more powerful than the family’s influence. It wouldn’t take long for those family members currently restrained to witness his capabilities.

The only thing that gave Rory a bit of a headache was, what to do with these people in the future? That was truly the trickiest part.

Each one was either an elder or an upper-echelon. If allowed to come out, they would be very troublesome with their constant nagging. But it wouldn’t be right not to give them some status. It was truly a dilemma. Well, he hadn’t secured his reward yet, so he would worry about that later.
