Lubin could not help but sigh at his own stupidity. It turned out that Watson had gone to the two families to look for them not only to protect them, but also to negotiate with the heads of the two families, and he had actually failed to see through it.

At the same time, he also became suspicious of the mission Watson had previously given them.

“Young Master Watson, you said that you wanted us to live with the sea folks and help them to live like humans. The matter is not so simple, right?”

Coordinating the sea folks’ life and helping to build an army was not something that everyone could do. Even professional soldiers like the Blackmoon Knights would be able to do better than them. Why did Watson choose them to do that?

“Lubin, I’m impressed. It looks like you’ve finally learned to use your brain to think,” Gerant teased him.

“Shut up, Gerant. Don’t speak to me like Young Master Watson.”

While the two were quarreling, Watson said, “Yes, helping the sea folks is only one of the tasks I’ve given you! The other most important purpose is that I hope that you can continue to stay in touch with the Campbell and Ptolemy families. It’s best if you can flip their businesses and clansmen to our side. The heads of those two families are old foxes. They’ve only reached an agreement with me because I’ve suppressed King Landhar III. If anything happens in the future, it’s very likely that they’ll betray us. After all, their interests are more important to them. I want to make sure that they absolutely can’t betray us.”

He had already suppressed King Landhar III. He needed to infiltrate the kingdom’s ministries and assimilate the kingdom into his own. He still needed to prepare before he could do that.

“So that’s what you’re thinking, Young Master Watson,” Lubin exclaimed. If someone had told him of such a plan, he would have assumed that person had gone insane. However, at that moment, he could only feel the excitement in his heart.

It was not just him. Gerant also agreed.

“Alright, I’ll tell you the details of the mission I’ve given you later! As for now, you can rest well in your new home.”

Watson led everyone to the sky above the lake outside the royal city.

“This palace is so beautiful!”

“Is this our future home?”

Many of the sea folks whispered to each other as they looked at the Riptide Palace. Their eyes shone like stars.

“From now on, that is your temporary home. The waterway here is connected to the floating city. I hope you can extend a portion of the Dragon Palace that will be built in the floating city to the royal city. That way, you can realize the short-term conversion of resources! My idea is to build such waterways in all parts of the kingdom so that the sea folks can freely travel to every place. At the same time, I will also propose to His Majesty that he declare the law on the protection of demi-humans so that the sea folks can walk on the streets openly.”

Watson’s voice was not loud, but his words contained an exciting power. The sea folks cheered and said, “Long live Young Master Watson! We will definitely fulfill your orders.” Under Poseidon’s lead, they began to move toward the palace.

However, Alice did not leave. Instead, she went to Watson, grabbed his hand, and said, “Brother Watson, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Can I live with you instead?”

“Alice, don’t trouble Young Master Watson.” Poseidon frowned.

Alice immediately bit her lip, and a look of grievance flashed through her round eyes. Seeing that scene, Watson reached out and patted Alice’s sky-blue hair. He said, “Before the King declares the law to protect the demi-humans, you will need to rely on your magic to walk on the streets, Alice. It’s not that convenient! I’ll make an agreement with you. When the protection law for the demi-humans is introduced, I’ll bring you to live with me in the capital.”
