As Ling Xiao walked the streets of Penzes City, he could clearly sense the people's fear of Tiger. Everyone kept their distance, staring at the fierce-looking giant. Ling Xiao himself was dressed as an Adventurer, wearing a cloak that hid his face, so no one recognized that this slender figure was, in fact, their Lord.
Ling Xiao noticed that the streets were much more crowded with commoners than before, all of them beaming with genuine smiles. Ever since he had reclaimed vast tracts of land from the nobles and redistributed them to the people, the economy of Penzes City hadn't declined—it had boomed. This had forced many nobles, who had been waiting to see Ling Xiao fail, to shut their mouths in frustration.
Upon returning to the Viscount's Mansion, Uncle Fu was stunned speechless when he saw Tiger. When he learned that the giant was a Beastman of the Tiger Race, a look of surprise crossed his face. 'The young master must have been through a great deal in the swamp this time.'
