"I know," Keith smiled as he watched them run around.
"And this is all because of you, Young Master," Hugo stated.
Keith sighed, "I keep telling you all that it wasn't because of me. I just gave you all a chance, and you took it."
He never thought it was all his doing. He gave the people in the slums a chance. If they didn't work hard, nothing would have happened.
"But that chance is something no one would hand us," Hugo added. The reason why this happened was because Keith kept giving them job opportunities.
Not only that, he also designed all of this!
"Anyways, how have you been doing working with Orin?" Keith questioned. Hugo worked as a cleaner in the beginning. But after a while, he decided to work with Orin.
Now, the blacksmith shop was one of the famous shops in the city.
"It's fine if you don't count that bumbling dwarf rambling on about us being rivals before and now boss and employee." Hugo had a dark expression as he said this.
"Haha," Keith laughed as he added, "But at least you found your passion again?"
"Mmhmm," Hugo nodded. He knew working under Orin was the best option. He was a blacksmith at heart.
"Also, has there been an influx of people coming to Sunshine Street?" Keith questioned.
Besides working for Orin, Hugo also had the job of watching over a section. Because of how the town became a city, the mayor couldn't handle all of the work.
That was why he delegated a few people to watch over parts of the city. And Hugo was the representative watching over Sunshine Street. The slums trusted Hugo to do it.
"There had been a lot of people arriving here. But there are no troubles so far," Hugo shook his head. There were enough spare apartments for people to live in. And there were plenty of jobs.
"That's good," Keith sighed in relief. He noticed how there were a lot of people coming to this city. But it seemed his worry was for nothing.
"Big Brother!" Keith turned to look at Laura and Leon.
The two shouted, "Let's play!"
"Alright," Keith smiled and turned to Hugo,
"Sorry about this,"
"No. Please have fun, Young Master," Hugo smiled. Keith walked over to play with the group. He took out a frisbee and used that to play with them.
...
"Alright, I need to go somewhere," Seeing that Hugo and his children decided to return home, Keith knew it was time to leave the park.
"Hmm?" The two children stared at him, "I need to go to another spot today," There was another thing he had to do.
"Okay!" The two children were obedient. They understood Keith had work to do. Like that, the three of them walked over to a place. It was a gigantic store. There were rows of carriages parked in front of the store.
And on the front of it said White Owl Merchant Store.
Keith smiled as he walked in. When the clerk saw Keith, she quickly bowed her head, "Greetings to you, Big Boss!"
"Do you have to call me that?" Keith almost choked when he heard that.
Big Boss. That was the name the employees at White Owl called him. Coyler was Boss, while he was called Big Boss. Keith rubbed his head at this.
It wasn't a bad thing, per se. But it didn't sit well with Keith.
How was he the Big Boss?
"I will let the Boss know you're here," The clerk didn't wait as she entered the back. A second later, Coyler came out.
"Hello, Boss!" Coyler was the only one who called Keith Boss.
"Mmhmm," Keith nodded as he asked, "How has business been going?"
"Great! We recently opened another hub in the northern region." The White Owl Merchant Group had been expanding. It was incredible. Coyler started off as a regular peddler. But with the help of Keith and the Marquis family, the expansion soon came!
And one year of peddling was enough. The mayo and butter caused a stir in the world! Those two items caused the company's reputation to soar!
It was incredible.
"Do we need to increase the number of farms around?" Keith questioned. Coyler shook his head,
"There's no need to do that. We have enough for now," Coyler remarked. That was one of the reasons for the increase in people coming to this town.
To produce mayo and butter, they needed a farm to hold chickens and cows. The number of jobs opening up was amazing.
"Alright. Also, I need to grab some butter and white pepper," As the merchant group grew, Keith taught them how to make black and white pepper.
"Gotcha," Coyler grabbed the stuff and handed it to Keith. Keith turned to the two kids,
"Let's go back home now,"
