The news that Su Ke was recruiting construction teams throughout the duchy quickly spread. This recruitment wasn't just for the construction industry; it was open to everyone within the duchy. Everyone, from nobles to commoners, was eligible. Those who received this news were all shocked. The newly appointed Demon Beast King actually wanted to build a new palace. This was a top-down shock for all the citizens of the duchy. If this new palace were built, the Demon Beast King would surely be crowned king there. Although everyone knew that stopping the Demon Beast King from being crowned was almost impossible, he couldn't be considered the true king until the coronation took place. This was a necessary ritual. Now, building a new palace clearly meant that the new king was preparing to be truly crowned. Many people's hearts began to stir. Within the current royal city, the power dynamics were complex, making it extremely difficult for other forces to enter. However, the new palace would be built in Cross City, meaning that Cross City would become the new royal city. If the new royal city was Cross City, now was the best time to enter. Once the royal city was completely established in Cross City, the internal power structure would stabilize along with the city's establishment. At that point, trying to enter the royal city and get a share would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Therefore, some forces quickly entered Cross City, hoping to seize the opportunity to gain a share of the benefits in future distributions. However, Su Ke would not let them succeed. They wanted to enter Cross City and establish strongholds, but that was just what they wanted. Whether they could enter was up to Su Ke. Establishing the royal city in a new location was, in large part, due to these power dynamics. How could Su Ke allow them to pollute the new royal city again? If they wanted to enter Cross City, of course they could, but they had to pay a tribute, a declaration of allegiance. In short, they had to show Su Ke their sincerity. At this particular moment, sincerity could be a big or small thing, but mainly it had to satisfy Su Ke. That was the big issue. When the various forces understood this, they immediately realized that the new king's methods were not simple. Establishing a royal city was not a simple matter. In addition to a large amount of manpower and resources, it also required a strong ability to resist external interference. It wasn't something that anyone could easily accomplish. The various forces decided that if Su Ke wouldn't let them enter Cross City to get a share, then they would prevent the construction of the royal city. Overtly, they wouldn't dare. However, these forces had been painstakingly operating in the duchy for many years and were not simple characters. If they couldn't do it overtly, they would do it secretly. The first step… Wasn't there a lack of architects? Then they would make sure he continued to lack them. These forces were spread throughout all sectors of the duchy, involved in all kinds of industries, including the construction industry. For a time, the leading figures in the major construction industries remained silent. Su Ke certainly knew what was happening, but it wasn't important. Some people didn't value such a good opportunity, but others would. Sure enough, within a couple of days, a local Cross City construction industry boss came to the royal city to meet with Su Ke. His purpose in seeking Su Ke was clear: he wanted to take on the royal palace construction project. He was just a small businessman, and it would be very difficult for him to take on the entire royal palace project, so he had come to introduce someone. He was introducing a collateral branch of a clan that had been wiped out by the Demon Beast army. Because the main clan had rebelled, this collateral branch had escaped, but they were still afraid. This time, they had asked someone to introduce them in order to complete the royal palace construction and atone for their faults, so that their branch could survive. After listening, Su Ke immediately asked that person to come over. He had to get to know such a discerning force. … Half a day later, Su Ke met the man. He was a middle-aged fat man who looked at Su Ke with shifty eyes. At first glance, one would think he was a treacherous villain. "Your Majesty, King, I am Gewenqi, the patriarch of the Kadaqu family. My family and I are wholeheartedly loyal to you." "The main clan was a bunch of short-sighted fools who deserved to die. We have nothing to do with them…" Gewenqi spoke with great excitement, expressing emotions that seemed like he was truly vowing to be loyal to Su Ke. Su Ke also took the opportunity to speak. "You've been wronged all these years, serving under that traitor." "Have you thought about what to do in the future?" Gewenqi knew that Su Ke was willing to give him a chance, and it depended on what he did. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to build a royal palace in Cross City recently." Su Ke nodded, "That's right, but recently it's been difficult to find a construction team. Do you have a solution?" Gewenqi knew that success or failure depended on this. He immediately prostrated himself on the ground and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I happen to have a construction team that can take on this important task." Su Ke pretended to be surprised and said, "You just happen to be able to handle this matter." "Since that's the case, then I'll leave it to you." "Go do it, I'm waiting for your good news." Gewenqi hurriedly prostrated himself again, bowed to Su Ke, and then tremblingly left the royal palace. Su Ke looked at Adai in the corner, "Adai, follow him and see what's going on." Adai immediately left, silently following him. … After leaving the royal palace, Gewenqi realized that he was covered in cold sweat. Although Su Ke didn't seem to be deliberately putting pressure on him, the aura of a king emanating from Su Ke made him feel like his breathing was slowing down. Although he was extremely panicked, he felt like he was suffocating. A few simple words made him feel like he had been on the verge of death several times. If he had hesitated even a little, he might have been beheaded. That was a king, a king among demon beasts. How could a creature that could tame hundreds of millions of ferocious and terrifying demon beasts be as cute and docile as it appeared on the outside? After leaving the royal city, Gewenqi met up with his family members who were waiting outside the city. "Patriarch, how did it go?" Seeing the expectant looks of his family members, Gewenqi smiled. "It's done. His Majesty has agreed to let us build the royal palace. Once the royal palace is built, we will be able to clear our name." The family members cheered immediately. After a moment, one of them asked, "Patriarch, how much funding will His Majesty give us for the construction?" As soon as he finished speaking, all the family members' eyes focused on Gewenqi. Bearing the gazes of everyone, Gewenqi gritted his teeth and said, "A bunch of fools!! It's already our honor that His Majesty is willing to forgive us and give us a chance. If the royal palace is successfully built, and we cling to this relationship, our family may be able to become a top force in the duchy. His Majesty has already bestowed such great favor, what else do you want??" The family members immediately dared not to speak, looking at the angry patriarch with fear. In the dark, seeing this, Adai quietly concealed his figure and entered the royal city.
