Chapter 839 Something Wrong In The Air
A deep discussion went on in the northern farm between the four farm owners.
Aolmond, the owner of the north farm, was leading the discussion while the rest were actively hearing him out.
As he finished with the explanation, the south farm owner, the man with a short and burly stature, said, "All of what you said is in regards to how the new farm would make us incur losses. However, have you forgotten that the council is with the new guy?"
The east farm owner, a curvy lady with green hair, added, "What you"re stating is the future. I don"t see the new guy"s farm growing leaps and bounds."
The west farm owner, a short and pet.i.te lady with a calm look on her face, nodded lightly and said in response, "What Kayla is saying is correct. The new guy doesn"t seem to want to expand his business, so there"s no hurting us."
"How can you two be so sure?" The short guy asked.
Kayla, the east farm owner, extended her hand out and her servant gave her a parchment. Reading it, Kayla said, "First and foremost, he doesn"t seem to be interested in many things that"s present in our village such as the Wooly Mammoths or the rabbit breeding grounds."
"The Wooly Mammoths could bring about an even greater fortune than anything our milk farm could ever make from the mere selling of a few bundles of wool from them. The rabbits are a similar case and from the reports my a.s.sistant has made, he"s been really quiet for a while now."
The two women were against whatever Aolmond was suggesting. They had their own information network and could make out a few things which this hard-headed guy could not.
Whatever Kayla had come up with, Aolmond tried his best to counter it and suggest that Lith was nothing but trouble.
The short and burly man was on a neutral side, but leaning towards Aolmond as he was more worried about his business being at a loss and didn"t want to risk anything.
The discussion went on for a while and the four were arguing on what they should and shouldn"t be doing.
"I"m not going to be a part of this discussion anymore. I"ve decided to stay put and watch for now." Kayla finally couldn"t take it anymore and said.
The other lady nodded and said, "I"d also like to sit this one out. The council is involved with that man and they don"t seem to be doing anything that may harm our interests."
Aolmond sneered and said, "You two cannot see the potential threat, but that"s to be expected. You"ve always been cowards. Nevermind them, Himel. We two are enough to handle this new guy."
Himel, the short and burly man, sighed and shook his head. "I do not understand why we must argue like this and not be on the same page."
Himel gave out an indirect answer from his reply to not offend any of the parties, while still being able to convey which side he was on.
Now that the factions were formed, the two ladies dismissed themselves from the meeting and went to stay neutral while the two men walked together to a certain place, discussing a few things on the way.
"Himel, we must damage the guy from the inside out. The Kurois he has are all independent ones, so we just need to give them greater benefits and they"ll then be on our side. Also, we should have a limb or two of his break so that he understands his place." Aolmond stated calmly.
Himel pondered over it and replied, "We need to do it discreetly. If the elders were to know that we are the culprits, it"ll be problematic."
Aolmond stroked his beard and said, "Not to worry, that"ll be taken care of."
Soon, the two men reached a house made of stones and on the perch, there was a lean and muscular man sitting quietly, having his evening tea.
Noticing the two men approach, the man turned to look at them with his sharp eyes.
Aolmond walked closer and said with a smile, "Keffir, how have you been?"
The guy called Keffir merely gave a light nod in response.
Aolmond turned to Hemil and said, "He"s not very talkative."
Hemil nodded and didn"t say anything further.
Aolmond then turned to Keffir and said, "There"s a guy in the south. The new person in the village. Can you have his limbs broken?"
Keffir did a light nod again. "One limb, fifteen Omus."
Aolmond and Hemil sighed visibly upon hearing that number. It was certainly a lot, but the thing they were asking for was also too big of a deal.
For the sake of their future business, they had to invest this amount into punishing Lith to show him his place and have him understand as to who the real bosses were in the village.
Aolmond didn"t hesitate and neither did Hemil. The two had a deal with Keffir and dismissed themselves.
"He"s a done deal now." Aolmond stated with a dry laugh.
Hemil hummed in response. "Hopefully he stops soon. I don"t like to see talented young people dying like this."
…..
Two days later.
For some reason or another, undercurrents could be felt in the village. The people were rather uncomfortable roaming around due to this strange aura looming around.
This aura felt slightly ominous and made them feel as if it was bad luck to go outside.
Back in Lith"s residential complex, the five ladies were currently having a chat over this while sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, around a round tea table.
"Why does the air make me feel uncomfortable?" Milia, the warrior girl, asked.
The four elders were at home today because of the weird ambiance around the village.
Joselyn took a sip of tea and replied, "Maybe someone"s going to die today?"
It was not out of the blue that such a thing happened today. Usually when someone died, there would be an eerie aura of death looming around the village for a couple of days.
It was normal and people didn"t feel too irked as they were used to it.
However, there were also warning signs sometimes such as these stating that someone was really going to die or some catastrophe was about to strike the village.
The villagers that were supposed to guard the village were in place and prepared while the rest were resting at their homes, guarding their own families and themselves.
The brown-haired elder, Tessa, in the meantime asked, "Is Lith training?"
She ignored the discussion and asked the right questions.
Time spent with Lith was really good. For some reason, he was never irked by their beauty or even if they were older than him.
He also treated them really well and this made them want to spend lots and lots of time with him.
Idina turned to Tessa and nodded her head. "He"s training, but should be here soon."
As soon as she said that, the five could hear approaching footsteps and turning to the source, saw Lith, appearing like a literal G.o.d, walk towards them.
Lith had a light, white cloth wrapped around his waist like a towel and a similar sash draped on his upper body.
His toned abs and his tied long hair made him so appealing that the five ladies could feel their nethers tingle just from a mere look at him.
Lith didn"t fit the men"s beauty standards of the village as he wasn"t burly and big, but after experiencing his skills and spending time with him, the ladies in the room got their sense of beauty twisted and attuned to finding Lith as the most handsome man to ever exist.
It was as they said, "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder."
Looking at the five almost naked ladies sitting around a round table and sipping tea, Lith decided to join them and have tea as well.
"Sup, ladies." Lith waved at the ladies and walked close to the blue-haired elder, Idina.
Idina had a white cloth wrapped around her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and a similar cloth loosely resting on her lap, barely covering anything down there.
Idina and the rest of the ladies smiled in response and waved back at Lith, welcoming him back to the house.
Lith sat right behind Idina and made her shift to sit right on his lap, facing him.
Knowing the usual routine, Idina poured a cup of tea for Lith and slowly made him drink it.
While having tea and a beautiful milf on his lap, Lith asked, "What"s the discussion about?"
Solina, the yellow-haired elder with a pet.i.te figure and an overall small frame, said, "We"re talking about the aura around the village."
Lith had a sip of tea and fondling Idina"s perky, soft a.s.s cheeks, said, "Hmm… it seems to be strange. Is this normal?"
The ladies nodded their heads.
"It"s normal when something bad is about to happen." Milia responded.
Lith raised an eyebrow in response. "Interesting. Tell me more."
The ladies were about to do so when they all felt something strange around them.
Lith"s hair stood on their ends immediately at this moment and knowing something was seriously wrong, he exclaimed, "Take cover!"
