The witch thought I am a Demon God-Chapter 537 - 313 Becoming a Viscount and Gaining Two Viscount Territories_3

Almost instantly, the lower landowners in the conference, who owned only a handful of acres, immediately became submissive, smilingly turning to Lord Ivita, ingratiating themselves to him.

"Lord Ivita, you are our new Lord, indeed a prodigy. I have always been the most obedient person, and daring to defy the ruling Lord is something we dare not do. I was forcibly brought here, just to make up the numbers."

"I was also dragged here, and now I regret it. In fact, I wanted to secretly inform you. Please do not think that I am making this up on the spot. If you look at the words on my sleeve, they are the main conspiracies they were planning. I was about to report all this to you."

People around looked, it was old man number six.

Ivita glanced at them, those lower landowners had less ability to take risks, their lives heavily reliant on the Lord; they would, of course, be afraid to offend their Lord. Thus, the moment he appeared in this nonsense conference, these people would naturally gravitate towards him.

Ivita turned his gaze to the large landlords, the barons and mayors, with a smile on his face.

The Meri Mayor, as the host, was the most terrified. He looked like the person who led a conspiracy no matter how you looked at it.

As he saw Ivita looking at him, he could not stand it mentally, "Lord Ivita, it was Baron Anto who made me hold this meeting here. I was misled. I strayed. Now I want to rectify the chaos and turn to the light."

The Meri Mayor hurriedly stood up, walked out from behind the table, and stood in front of Ivita, confessing with sincere fear.

As soon as Baron Anto heard this, he could no longer sit still. This damn alliance, as soon as the Lord arrives, everyone preserves their own interests, becoming loyal subjects.

Baron Anto immediately said to Ivita: "Viscount, I plan to pledge loyalty to you again, with the knightly honor. From today, you will be my new Lord."

Now, the other Lords could no longer sit still either, one by one pledging loyalty to Ivita, and assuring their oaths.

Because now, Ivita had caught them by their weakest point. In this world, betraying their own Lord was the most unforgivable offense.

The sudden appearance of Ivita in this conference caused their simple motive of wanting to discuss terms to become equated with betrayal. And under Ivita’s notorious reputation, these people were broken up on the spot, unable to resist.

Looking at the strategizing Ivita, Old Baron Anto was truly impressed. The people of the Valji family had never been this intelligent. Those pirates who only knew how to rob couldn’t possibly know how to manage territories, they had given up many of a Lord’s rights.

"Seems like, you all have gotten more enthusiastic about me." Ivita said to the Iron Mountain Knight behind him. "What do you think, Great Knight?"

The Iron Mountain Knight replied with a smile: "You are their Lord. Being passionate towards you is their feudal obligation."

Ivita crossed his arms, "In that case, let’s consider today’s matter temporarily settled."

The many lords and lower landowners below let out a sigh of relief.

However, Ivita then said: "But...there is... I have a condition, everyone... I want to redistribute the territories within my land, streamline resources. Of course, generally speaking, your territories would not decrease, as long as you don’t make mistakes."

"I hope you all show good performance, keep an eye on each other. I will consider such behavior as good performance."

Old Baron Anto immediately sensed several glances stabbing at him from behind.

He immediately realized, damn, now forget about uniting, most of the lower landowners became Ivita’s dogs.

Ivita suddenly looked at Old Baron Anto. "Old Baron Anto seems to be very influential locally. As for the matter of redistributing territories and evaluating performances, I will leave it to you, the Iron Mountain Knight, and Mr. Wilson."

"This is also a demonstration of my trust in you."

Old Baron Anto was taken aback. He instantly understood that Ivita wanted to frame him for angering people. Yet, this was also a test of Ivita’s faithful obedience.

If he accepted, it would mean he could be accommodated in the order governed by Ivita. If he refused, he would be courting death.

Old Baron Anto bowed his head to Ivita. "Very well, Lord."
