Chapter 862 Selling The Kid
Chapter 862 Selling The Kid
Two weeks later.
In the center of the village, movements of men carrying loads of heavy material on their backs could be seen.
Some men were clearing the area around the centre while some were digging a big hole.
From a distance, Lith was watching the construction work get done along with the chubby green-haired kid standing beside him.
The kid had gotten far too comfortable with Lith by now and minded his own business while also properly obeying Lith.
The charisma and care Lith showcased had won the heart of this little kid and wherever he went, this dude would follow every single time.
Needless to say, some problems had occurred due to him following Lith so much, but after a bit of thinking, the issue was resolved properly.
Lith made the kid lap around the village to improve his physical fitness and appear less chubby while he went to have some steamy cardio sessions with his maids in the background.
These sessions he was doing were less for pleasure and more for improving the overall strength of everybody.
It was going well and a balance was sought after a pretty long time.
Lith didn't care if the kid was running or not because he very well knew that he wouldn't. He would simply find a place somewhere and sleep, which was exactly what he usually did.
Another important thing that Lith did in the last two weeks was establish communication with the other kingdoms in this world and challenge their monarchs.
Lith had gone on a fighting spree and pretty much got every monarch to surrender and turn obedient.
This definitely wasn't easy as people really were strong, but with the help of this chubby kid and a few sneaky tricks here and there, Lith won every single time.
It was to be expected from a Prince like him. He knew all the ins and outs of royalties and barely anything could be hidden from his eyes.
The chubby kid also showed no resistance and helped Lith whenever he asked him to. It was all thanks to the many candies Lith had spoiled him with.
Part of the reason why the candy was so effective was because they belonged to Lucifer.
Lucifer really never compromised on her snacks and had the best of the best things in the world. These candies were especially made on demand by powerhouses from around the world using ingredients that had never been used for anybody else.
Lith got himself a few bags of candies from Lucifer while spending time with her. She was the one who fed him those while they were cuddling and liking the taste, Lith took a few bags without even asking.
Lucifer didn't mind her snacks being taken. It was because there was an even better snack with her, that being none other than Lith himself.
Needless to say, that particular day, Lucifer snacked the hell out of Lith and recovered all the money she had spent on her candies.
This was a costly endeavour as Lith was unable to get his thing up for a few days after spending time with his Demon aunt.
In any case, after having the obedience of every monarch in this world, Lith began instructing everybody on what they should be doing from here on.
He told them the truth that they were going to be invaded, so it was better that they prepared and got serious.
The news had just been given to the rulers for now, but it was bound to come to the general public soon.
Just like that, a month passed, and without any surprises, the news of the Demons invading this world was spread far and wide in this world, causing a massive uproar.
The slumbering people who only really cared about eating and sleeping began panicking and a lot of chaos ensued everywhere.
At this point, Lith stepped up and took command of the situation. He instructed the rest of the monarchs and what they should be doing and it took more than a month to stabilize everything.
It was not easy to get the people to calm down. They had barely ever found themselves in the times of unrest as life was peaceful in this world.
The only great threat ever came from the monsters that came out of the Gilmer Forest or due to some hidden expert.
Otherwise, it was just a normal world where people did their everyday things like farming, craftsmanship, singing, dancing, and so on.
In these two months of civil unrest, things had not slowed down, but actually fastened up.
The construction everywhere in the world had sped up due to people feeling the need to have better defense systems.
Lith had laid out plans to make forts, watchtowers, barricades, and so on. He also gave everyone the blueprint for absolutely free and things had really turned out to be great.
The different trade routes in the world now made a stop at Dushkarbor, making it the very center of commerce and trade.
The people of Dushkarbor had to adjust to these changes and they did so by working hard and building stays, shops, taverns, and many more things for the huge influx of people that came here everyday.
Plans were going on to make Dushkarbor the world's capital, but that would take some time and couldn't be done so quickly.
For now, only the defense and hospitality part was being taken care of.
Apart from construction, there were quite some more changes that happened in the last two months.
Reports of demon kidnapping had shot up and people were getting afraid to even get out of their homes, only to find out that even that wasn't safe.
Lith had to quickly do something about it and thankfully, he didn't need to rack too much of his brain.
Lith went straight to the chubby green-haired kid and began bullying him, threatening to roast him over fire like a pig if he didn't stop eating.
This fatty was getting too chonky and that was not good. This just meant that he was eating too many things and making a hole in Lith's pockets.
Lith began explaining to the kid his financial conditions and how he was getting broke while also stating that if they couldn't afford to have food anymore, he would sell this kid to some farm as a slave.
Needless to say, the kid wasn't happy with it and began throwing punches at Lith in frustration and annoyance.
How could his big bro say stuff like this? It was so cruel! What had he, the poor kid, even done to deserve this treatment?
For some mere candies, for some mere pocket change, he would sell him? Seriously!?
If the kid didn't have great maturity and if there was some actual immature kid in his shoes, he would be crying right and be really hurt.
But thankfully, it was not some actual kid and an experienced person instead.
The experienced kid—or what Lith liked to call him, 'chonky boi'—actually began feeling sort of concerned for Lith after this interaction.
He didn't know that he was making his big bro go broke due to his essential food supplies.
Reflecting back on it, the kid realized that he was actually getting everything for free from his big bro. That guy didn't really ask for anything in return and only just bullied him to stop eating and run.
Thinking about it now, the chonky boi felt that he should be of some help to Lith and not simply be a freeloader. This would not only help him avert his financial crisis, but also make Lith bully him less. Hopefully.
Wanting to help, the chubby kid went to Lith the next day and stated that he wanted to help Lith make money.
Lith kicked his butt and threw him out, stating that he would just be a huge burden on him, which he really was due to his weight.
The kid was angry at this and was about to smack Lith, but then a shout came from the room Lith was in, saying:
"Stupid kid, you've gotten so fat that just by hitting the ground outside, an earthquake occurred and destroyed many properties."
"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!" The chubby kid just couldn't take it anymore and shouted at the sky. The bullying was far too excessive and unnecessary!
"Stop oinking so loud, someone's gonna hunt and make pork stew out of you!" Another yell came from the inside.
Lith was absolutely brutal and made the chubby kid's head spin in anger. This was far too much! Something had to be done right fucking now!!
The chubby kid stormed inside the building Lith was in and punched Lith in the face in his anger.
The punch was so aggressive, so powerful, so intense that…
Lith budged a centimeter to the side and felt a tickling sensation as the chubby kid's fat hands hit him.
"I hate you damn it! Hate you! Hate you! Hate you!" The chubby kid went on a hitting spree and did a series of punches all over Lith's body.
The punches were all soft and barely did anything to Lith, making him yawn and say, "Chonky boi, if you're this stimulated, you might as well help me out in work. This will help pay us bills and keep us afloat for a while."
Listening to that, the chubby kid stopped hitting him and calmed down.
Knowing that he wasn't going to get bullied anymore and it was serious talk, he asked, "What work?"
