The food merchants gathered in the middle of the night. This was their third time gathering this month.

They weren’t having a good time. After they raised their prices, they only earned a day’s worth of copper coins before no one purchased any more of their wheat.

“That new noble Lucas acted like a lunatic and conscripted all the untouchables in the city to work. He gave out wheat as a salary and cut our path to become rich.

"Shameless Fucker." 

Bang bang bang.

The obese food merchant shouted and yelled and used the table to release his anger.

"Ahhh my lord please have mercy." A woman moaned.

"Shut up you bitch and act like you always do otherwise my guards are standing outside. And they will love to play with your body. So shut the fuck up and get fucked." A food merchant yelled.

" Yes." That's all she was able to say before all the food merchant removed their clothes and started to fuck her.

After fucking the two maids to their heart content, they threw them in the corner of the room.

"We need to do something about the fucking city lord." 

The other food merchants’ faces darkened and showed a fierce expression. Anyone who dared to get in the way of their wealth must die.

It’s said that businessmen only care about money. It wasn’t entirely wrong. People are innately greedy, and what’s important is whether or not they can control their greed. These merchants have long been blinded by greed and they no longer care about the lives of commoners.

If the businessmen can get 10% of the profits, then they would not be stopped by any work that is necessary. If they can get 20%, they would risk their lives for it. If they can get 50%, they would do it without caring about their lives. Once it reaches 100%, they would use any means possible. And once it reaches double, they would even sell their own kind.

Their humanity has disappeared, and the only thing in their eyes were copper coins. They only care about whether or not they can earn money and sell their wheat. They would not consider lowering their prices or anything.

“That damned Lucas. If it wasn’t for him, we would be lying on beds made of copper coins.”

“Is that Lucas a dumbass? An idiot? How dare he take out wheat to feed the untouchables? He even demolished the good houses.”

“As far as I know, Lucas doesn’t have much wheat left. It should only last for another 3 or 4 days. By then, we can earn a lot of copper coins again. In order to make up for our loss, I suggest raising the price of the wheat by another copper coin.”

Hearing that, many of the food merchants were tempted. They already had many excuses for raising the prices, such as: horse thieves robbed a lot of the wheat already, and there was hardly any wheat left.

“There’s no need. 3 or 4 days is too long.” The obese food merchant’s eyes were filled with madness. “As long as we kill that Lucas, everything will go back to the starting point, and those untouchables will be completely under our control.”

“What? You want to kill Lucas? He’s a noble!”

“No no no… we’ll have our heads cut off for that.”

Many food merchants got frightened, but there was some hesitation in their voices. They were thinking about the feasibility of the plan.

“Hmph!” The obese food merchant snorted. “We’re all people on the same bridge. Everyone will fall no matter who cut the bridge rope.”

“Besides, the new noble Lucas doesn't have a lot of powerful soldiers. The only knight he has is Ben’s family, and I got news that several of Ben’s sons have left Sedona City with the new recruits. This opportunity would not be available every day."

“Huff…” The food merchants all started breathing heavily. After all, they were going to kill a noble, even if the noble was one of the weakest nobles.

“Add me in. I have 5 powerful soldiers in my escort crew. They should come in handy.”

Someone immediately took a stance. After all, the autumn harvest was near, and they had to get rid of their wheat or else it would all rot.

“I brought all my guards. They are all outside. You guys can decide what to do. I just need my wheat to be sold. After all, winter is coming, and I need to rush back to Baron Omar.”

“I’ll also participate. A new batch of maids just got into my family waiting for me to fuck them.”

The obese grain merchant stood up and looked around and laughed out loud. “Very good. We will be able to make a lot of money with this determination. Baron Omar said that we will get a higher share of the money as long as we scavenge this place clean.”

“He he… Blame it all on Lucas who didn’t know what was good for him.”

“In fact, I’ve had the idea of killing Lucas for a long time already.”

“The cat beastkin in the castle is mine. I’ll pay fifty copper coins.”

“Pfft… you’re willing to pay 50 copper coins for a lowly beastkin?”

The food merchants all took a stand and were willing to send their guards to take action.

The obese food merchant smiled smugly and looked at several of the food merchants. He had already conspired with them in advance in order to get some money and maybe even rob the City Lord’s Mansion.

In fact, the obese food merchants had already gotten information that horse thieves would come to rob Sedona City when the autumn harvest came. If things went on as they did now, they would not be able to sell all their wheat, and then they would be the ones who would be robbed by the horse thieves.

Since they were going to be robbed by the horse thieves, they might as well as kill Lucas now and sell their wheat at a high price and flee Sedona City before the horse thieves came.

While the merchants were discussing how they were going to assassinate Lucas, a team of people had already silently come to the outside of the courtyard.

Chris looked at the four guards protecting the door of the courtyard, and his eyes flashed with the light of a predator.

“Greedy merchants, how dare you scheme against Lord Lucas? You all deserve to die.”
