Chapter 698: Chapter 419: Seizing the Yamen_4

Owen Bertram waved his hand and said, "There’s no need, I have already ordered Kim Dean to mobilize soldiers and replace all the guards of the department."

Benjamin Larkin hesitated to speak, and then said, "In that case... I have been overly worried. If my lord has any orders, please send a command, and I will obey accordingly."

"Very well."

With just a few words, Benjamin Larkin took his leave.

Leroy Baker sneaked in and said, "This old fellow is too selfish and doesn’t seem to be optimistic about my lord."

Owen Bertram also saw through Benjamin Larkin’s thoughts: "He doesn’t have many years left in his life, and given the current situation, he naturally won’t make a heavy bet like Kim Dean."

Leroy Baker sneered coldly, "He’s waiting to see the outcome of my lord’s struggle with the Ronald Clan, and then he’ll sell himself to the highest bidder."

"That’s why he’ll never become a Commander."

...

Kim Dean’s Sharon Mansion was not far from Raleigh City. The next day at noon, he led his five hundred Military Officers into the East Prison Town department and replaced all the guards.

He first sent his trusted men to guard Ryan Ronald and others strictly, and ordered the Formation Master he brought along to set up a Great Formation to seal their room. Then he personally carried a sword to guard my lord’s door, kneeling and licking at his feet in a very submissive manner.

My lord walked out of the room and gestured to Kim Dean, "Accompany me for a walk, I never had the chance to see this yamen (office of a local official) before."

"Yes."

Kim Dean followed behind, and at each place, he took the initiative to introduce the place to my lord. After the tour around the entire East Prison Town Department, Owen Bertram asked, "Kim Dean, you once mentioned that you were well aware of the dirty deals in the East Prison Town Comfort Office, and now I will ask about these dirty deals."

Kim Dean immediately replied, "Almost all the garrisons under the jurisdiction of the East Prison Town have colluded with local officials to exploit the common people. I’ve collected evidence of their crimes over the years, and I’ll first tell my lord about the businesses that have annual profits of over ten million Spirit Jade."

Owen Bertram nodded, and Kim Dean began to report, including the human trafficking in Sharon Mansion. Besides that, there were matters like monopolizing markets, seizing land, and mines.

"The most infuriating of all is Ryan Ronald’s dealing with the Beggar Sect."

"In the entire jurisdiction of the East Prison Town, all beggars must pay money to Ryan Ronald. Every year, Ryan Ronald would instruct the so-called Beggar Sect to abduct children from poor families, and abuse them to make them more pitiable so that they could beg for more money."

"Over the years, it is estimated that they have harmed more than a hundred thousand children, and the income from the Beggar Sect alone amounts to more than 30 million Spirit Jade!"

Owen Bertram’s eyes flickered with anger, "Do you have evidence?"

"Under the East Prison Town is Ryan Ronald’s Beggar Sect altar is located within the jurisdiction of Ryan Ronald’s brother-in-law, Martin’s Prescott Group (bh). If my lord wants evidence, please give me a command, I will immediately take Martin’s men, destroy the Beggar Sect’s Main Altar, and surely find all the evidence!"

Owen Bertram asked, "Where is Martin’s Prescott located?"

"At the Megge Port by the East Sea."

Owen Bertram considered for a moment and then said, "Good, I will give you an order to go to Megge Port and investigate thoroughly. Once we have evidence, we’ll destroy that hell on earth! But remember, my rule differs from Lin Ronald’s. Under my command, you are not allowed to bully or commit evil!"

If I find out, I am sure you know very well what the wrath of the Sixth Great Realm means!"

Kim Dean knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, please rest assured, I understand the importance!"

After getting up, he said, "My lord, for this task, could you please send another capable general to help me? One, to supervise me, and two, Ryan Ronald had corrupted many powerful and evil cultivators with the ill-gotten wealth from the Beggar Sect over the years. I alone cannot complete this task."

Owen Bertram thought for a moment and then called Catherine over, "Fairy, please take a trip. The East Sea is near your master’s place, so you can visit your master along the way."

Catherine bowed her head and accepted the task, as Kim Dean walked away she said indignantly, "My lord, isn’t it time to give me a title?"

She complained, "Previously, you still cared about appearances, now you just order me around!"

Owen Bertram laughed heartily and said, "What title does Fairy desire? Revered Lord, Guest Chieftains, Officiant, you can choose."

Catherine hesitated for a moment before saying, "I’ll take the Guest Chieftains."

Becoming a revered lord would imply following Owen Bertram exclusively, while Officiant seemed too senior, leaving Guest Chieftains as the most suitable choice.

"Alright," Owen Bertram agreed with a smile, and the two discussed Catherine’s treatment in the Summit Metropolitan Office. As Catherine left, Owen Bertram smiled with satisfaction, leaving only Greystone.

As for Leroy Baker? Not important.
