617 Assigning Tasks To The Two Girls
I ended my words by saying this:
“From now on, you will have a building to live in. If the city and towns aren’t enough, then go and build much more to live in. I will select a group to maintain order and peace here. They will take note of any evildoers, and I promise you that anyone on their list will suffer greatly for his deeds.”
I let my chariot rotate twice around their heads in fast speed in a terrifying show of my might before going towards the village.
[Come to me] I sent this to the three girls, while stopping my chariot just above Hilary’s mansion.
I entered the mansion and found it impressive from the inside. That girl… She seemed to have a thing for statues as she filled the entire place inside with them.
She didn’t forget to make lots of furniture out of wood. In her eyes, wood was such a precious material, something that she never got to have in large amounts before, not like this time.
The mansion was three stories, with the ground one having three wide halls, connected together by narrow paths. There were few rooms there, with a bathroom that looked little like what I used to have at my time.
There were few colourful ores, looking like gems. I watched the place while the girls took their time to arrive.
“You were fierce back there,” Hilary said the moment she came.
“Didn’t you promise to give each human a group of races as slaves?” Angelica added as she came in.
“It won’t do good this way,” Isac shook his head, seemingly getting the meaning behind what I did.
“I had to do so,” I sighed, “the humans we have here aren’t in their right mind. They act on impulse, based on the lives they lived before, not the current one they are having at the moment.”
“But… You should be on their side!” Hilary said in argument.
“And I’m,” I nodded, “I’m protecting them from themselves. Once they regain sanity and get used to life here, I’ll honour what I promised them.”
“I… Just hope you know what you are doing,” Hilary dropped the matter, “we are ready to move. Can you take us back?”
“Have you decided what to do with their little thing?” I didn’t directly answer her, but looked at Isac as I asked her about that.
And she nodded. “Everything is set and they know they got everything they needed. I also delivered the plans for developing this world to one of my trusted subordinates here.”
“We can start right after they’d leave,” Angelica said and I rolled my eyes in return.
“Don’t do anything until I come back,” I said, “or else I’d lose count on the time you spent here on doing your job.”
“Cool,” she nodded.
“Come with me then,” I said to Hilary and Isac, “and bring up your men as well.”
“They are outside, waiting for you to open the portal,” Hillary looked excited and pumped up about going back to Earth and starting her task.
I led the two out while Angelica watched us leave. Once returned, the two girls looked in disappointment towards the current status of the capital.
“Don’t judge,” I said in a sincere tone, “the time difference played a big role in what the other world has.”
I knew coming back from the peace, prosperity, and tranquillity of the second Earth world to here had a shocking impact over them. Even I felt the same, and could only inwardly sigh.
It wasn’t that easy to return back to such a fierce world when you had one that was filled with peace.
“I’ll leave developing this place over to you then,” I said these words to Isac, “make sure to use the talents you brought with you to help the MIT youths.”
“Ok,” she nodded, with such unwillingness over her face. I knew she didn’t like getting more work, but she had to do this as everyone else was busy.
“As for you,” I turned to Hilary, “I know you want to start your bet as fast as possible, but don’t neglect other tasks as well. You have to oversee the building of the coastal wall and defences, help Isac in building the underwater forts, alright?”
“This…”
“Isac won’t be the only one with extra tasks. If you don’t have time, then delay your bet with Angelica for later.”
“I can’t! I have to win!”
“I won’t judge until you start and finish,” I rolled my eyes, “and we are facing a great battle coming up in seven days. Don’t be this selfish and start helping like everyone else.”
“Where are the others? Why not assign this task to any of them?”
“Don’t be like this! If there is anyone free, do you think I’ll let you do these tasks? Anyway, I’m going back now. Go down there and start working fast. I’ll come and check on you once every day in the other world’s time.”
“Hye!”
“Just go down and do what I asked for,” I waved my hand to stop her from trying to persuade me. Everyone else was doing their best to help strengthen my kingdom in one way or another.
I watched her leave in such heavy steps and a dejected expression on her face while Isac gave me a thumbs up from the side.
As they left, I had now to go back to the second Earth and start my cultivation session.
As I went back, I first checked over the situation inside the settlements here.
After my direct threatening speech with them, both humans and races started to live side by side. However the old atmosphere of laughter and happiness vanished.
I could feel the stress and pressure permeating the air. I sighed, and knew this would take slightly longer time before they’d get over this ordeal.
Isac left behind a group of really active people. During the time I spent in going to and returning from Earth, they started leading a large number of races and humans to work over building new settlements around.
