Chapter 1449 - 733: What You Love... (Part 4)
Moreover, even though Ji Jue had killed so many people in his madness, he still adhered to the contract and promises, from the beginning until now, without deliberately harming any direct family member of the Sujano Family.
In fact, aside from the family estate, he hadn't taken away their individual savings and had considerately left them a large amount of assets, including shares in listed companies and substantial funds and liquid assets.
Whether Ji Jue was putting on a show or not, the tangible money had indeed reached their hands.
Leaving their homeland was truly difficult, but if managed well, after a few generations, they might be able to return to Luo Island and reclaim their foundation!
But then, they heard Ji Jue's voice, and their eyes lit up.
"Moreover, I think simply and violently relocating the Sujano Family from Luo Island might not be appropriate—"
In the sudden silence, Ji Jue stated resolutely, "You all have been rooted here for many years and are most familiar with the situation here. As an outsider, I am alone and weak; how could I achieve anything without assistance?
So, there's no need for anyone to fear. I will take full responsibility for the accountability of the Seven Cities, and absolutely ensure that none of you will suffer any harm!
The Sujano Family can be without Luo Island, but Luo Island cannot be without the Sujano Family!"
Ji Jue stood up, solemnly pledging to everyone, "From now on, with our strong alliance, why should we worry about not accomplishing something great?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, presenting the contract between both parties.
The Heavenly Essence Law, weaved in black and white, bound firmly upon the souls of both parties, must not be violated.
"Please rest assured, as long as I, Ji Jue, have a share of glory, so too will all of you!"
The resonant promise echoed in everyone's ears: "I absolutely will not enjoy this glory alone. I guarantee that the future achievements of Luo Island are inseparable from everyone's dedicated assistance!"
For a moment, faces were in a daze, bewildered, undergoing drastic changes, incredulous, yet certain that Ji Jue was not joking, they couldn't hold back their ecstasy, and shouted out.
In an instant, they rushed closer, vying for position.
Even Seno found it impossible to believe, stiffly turning his head, "Are you saying it's real... really?"
"Some things are still best done by professionals; that's when I'm most at ease."
Ji Jue patted his shoulder meaningfully and said, "If it wasn't so, why would I go to such great lengths to kill so many people, if not to make room for everyone?
However, with things happening abruptly, I also couldn't arrange everything perfectly, so compromises had to be made in the arrangements.
Going to great lengths to gather everyone here was also to seek everyone's opinions."
Ji Jue solemnly asked, "It's just that I don't know what everyone ultimately wants, to maintain power or to accumulate more assets first?"
To have power, or to have money.
Seno looked at Ji Jue, confused; Ji Jue still smiled warmly, as if quietly waiting for an answer.
Yet, such a smile inexplicably left Seno feeling uneasy.
For a moment, he wanted to speak, to ask clearly, but he heard the tribe members below already beginning to clamor.
Whispering, speaking softly, even loudly arguing.
The scene was bustling with activity.
In everyone's eyes shone the light of hope, longing to continue their wonderful lives afterward; no one even cared about him, the clan leader, anymore.
Yet he always felt as if something was amiss.
In that instant, Ji Jue looked over at him, his smile against the light shrouded by shadow, yet still dazzling.
Seno's lips quivered, unable to speak.
He instinctively gripped that contract, like clutching onto a lifeline.
Yet he never felt any warmth.
Like falling into an ice cave.
Soon, the Dust had settled.
In the chaotic argument and contemplation, the crowd already divided clearly into two groups, those fixated on power and position, or those yearning for more wealth and glory...
"Mr. Ji, we've already discussed it."
The leader on the left approached, smiling respectfully and sincerely, "Whether power is important or not, we mainly want to share some of your burdens, to contribute more to you, and to thank you for your generosity."
"Good, a real man cannot go a day without power, with ambition, with boldness!"
Ji Jue laughed heartily, warmly wrapping his arm around the man's shoulder, patting hard, announcing to everyone, "From now on, I appoint you as the foremen of the Coastal Industry Luo Island Workshop No.1 production line!
From now on, each of you will independently be in charge of a production line's KPI, from then on exercising authority over the other employees without question!"
In those jubilant words, countless people followed with cheer, but immediately after, noticing something seemed wrong.
Wait a minute, what the hell does foreman of a production line mean?
The leader stood frozen like a wooden chicken, but Ji Jue had already released his hand, discarded him like an old shoe, merely waving to Liang Mo, "Take them away."
Liang Mo grinned silently, whistling, and immediately the oppressive exoskeleton armors charged in.
And then, Ji Jue, with his hands behind his back, approached another group of people, a cold, harsh expression with a touch of appreciation and approval, allowing a glimmer of hope to appear in those frightened eyes.
"As for you, seeking truth and reality, grounded and down-to-earth, it's not easy!"
Ji Jue generously promised, "I appoint you as the permanent employees of the Luo Island Workshop No.1 production line, henceforth with endless screws to turn, endless money to earn!
