Hearing Tomy's words, the old man pointed at the broken buildings around him and said, "Although those violent thieves have burnt everything down, but … We have plenty of metal here. It can't be burned down by fire, so … As long as you get us food, you can take these metals away! "

"Tsk …" Tomy curled her lips in disdain, and said while shaking her head: "You're too childish. What right do you have to deal with them? Furthermore... "If I want these metals, I'll just take them myself. Would anyone dare to stop me?"

Hearing Tomy's words, the old man couldn't help but be at a loss for words. At the same time, Tomy continued: "This city, is already in ruins, it can be said to be ownerless. Even if they were to occupy it, no one would dare to say a word no. You all better not fool me with ownerless things! "

Speaking to here, Tomy couldn't help but frown: "Right, since the thieves have already plundered everything, then how did you ten thousand people manage to leave? Could it be that the Thieves have been so kind? "

The old man shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "The reason we survived was because we were all working in a mine at the time, so we were lucky to escape this disaster. Those thieves even killed children and pregnant women, how could they have any kind intentions?"

Nodding her head in understanding, Tomy helplessly shrugged her shoulders and said: "Alright, I really want to help you guys, but I really can't help you guys. There are too many of you, but you can't give me enough compensation, and … We are not interested in the metal you are talking about! "

While speaking, Tomy raised her hand and said helplessly: "Alright, let's part ways here, I wish you guys good luck!" After saying that, Tomy helplessly looked at everyone, and then turned and walked towards the direction of the pier.

Seeing Tomy slowly walking further and further away, everyone couldn't help but to panic. Indeed … As matters stood, the city was in ruins and did not belong to anyone. Even the remaining goods in the city had become ownerless goods, so … It could be said that their families were ruined, that they lost everything, that they had nothing left at all, and that they did not have anything to repay Tomy and the others!

Everyone was very clear that if Tomy did not help, they would all starve to death. By now, everyone had not eaten for three or four days, so if this continued, the consequences would be dire!

Of course, they also wanted to go fishing, but this was the metal making island of Cabourn. No one would fish, not even a fishing net, and there were no vegetables growing around the city. Since there was time to grow vegetables, they might as well dig for ores, so … It was not as if food was not available on the island, but it was still a fantasy to take care of the food of more than ten thousand people!

Seeing Tomy slowly walking further and further away, everyone seemed to feel that they were close to destruction, lacking daily necessities and food. In such a situation, they were already very, very close to death!

"Wait a minute!" The moment Tomy stepped onto the pier square, the old man's voice suddenly sounded. "Young lady, I admit that everything in Cabran City is ownerless, but there is still something else that has an owner!"

At the same time, the old man said in a deep voice, "It is true that the city is ownerless, but we are still free. I think, if you are willing to help us and let us live, then … The fourteen thousand seven hundred people in our city will become your citizens and after receiving our support, you will also become the masters of the Cabran City! "

Frowning slightly, Tomy unhappily asked: "Why don't you guys understand? If I want this city, I can just take it? "Why would I..."

"No!" Without waiting for Tomy to finish speaking, the old man continued, "Things are not as simple as you think. If it's really that easy to take over, then how would the pirates be willing to give up here?"

Looking at Tomy's doubtful expression, the old man continued: "If you want to take over this city, there are a total of two ways. One is to kill us all, then go to the Business Road Office, spend a certain amount of money and request to build a city here. The price for building a city here will not be low at all! "

"One!" "A trillion!" Hearing the old man's words, Tomy couldn't help but tremble. A trillion! That was practically impossible!

While he was thinking, the old man continued, "As for the other way, we, the original inhabitants, would support you. As long as you get more than 80% of the original inhabitants' support, you can take over from the original mayor and become the master here. This is the only way for this island to become the mayor!"

Frowning suspiciously, Tomy said in puzzlement: "That's not right, there's a loophole here. If the thieves kill all of you, leaving only ten people behind, and then force them to support you, wouldn't that mean …?"

"Hehe …" Smiling slightly, the old man shook his head, "No, this loophole doesn't exist. According to the rules of the trading road, one must have the support of more than 10,000 aboriginals.

Speaking till here, the old man paused, then continued: "Basically, from Business Road Office's point of view, a city with a low population of ten thousand, is no longer a city, so we have lost our rights, as long as we still have ten thousand people, then the city will still exist, and buildings can no longer be built, and goods can no longer be harvested, this is not a problem, and the Mayor's change, is also a rule of nature, the Business Road Office will not care."

Hearing the old man's words, Tomy started to ponder. What moved Tomy was the City Lord's throne, there was nothing much he could do recently, if he could help young master obtain this city, it would definitely be of great help to young master. After all … The metals here were the most expensive goods in the third trial. After occupying this place, as a merchant, the young master would definitely soar to greatness!

After thinking about it, Tomy nodded her head slightly, "Alright, let me ask you one last time. If you become the City Lord, then will the metals produced in the nearby mines all belong to the City Lord? "How do we distribute the benefits?"

Hearing Tomy's words, the old man said resolutely, "Of course it belongs to the City Lord. Once we become the City Lord, then not only will the buildings, residents, and the surrounding mines belong to the City Lord, we will also only be the permanent workers of the City Lord."

Tomy nodded her head, then said decisively: "Alright, since that's the case, let's continue with your task, we will move the food and daily necessities over as soon as possible. As for the rest of you, keep all the corpses in the city hidden, then clean up the broken buildings, transport the goods from the buildings to the plaza and conduct an inventory!"

While talking, Tomy turned around and met up with the sisters on the boat. Tomy gave a brief explanation of the current situation and then continued. Under Tomy's orders, the sisters were divided into two groups of eighteen people each. The first group was to stay on the island to lead and direct everyone to clear the city, while at the same time protecting them from outsiders. If the aboriginals were reduced to less than ten thousand, then everything would be over.

As for the second wave, they would be led by Tomy, who would pilot the boat deep into the ocean. They had to bring back a large amount of daily necessities, otherwise, the residents would starve to death.

After bringing down a large amount of food from the boat, Tomy and the others only packed some clean water before leaving from the dock. Along the way, everyone could only rely on fishing to fill their stomach, but in order to ensure the survival of the indigenous people, Tomy did not leave any food behind.
