A slight breeze blew, and riding on a horse, Chen Heng’s gaze was calm as he looked ahead.

He could see the road he was used to, and the scenery was incredibly familiar.

It was exactly the same as he remembered, and there were not too many changes.

However, as he walked further, he realized that there were some things that were different.

The most evident was that the roads in the surroundings were more even, and some paths that had been difficult to walk were flattened and made easier to walk.

It seemed that Baron Kaisen had implemented many of the suggestions that Chen Heng had given him, not just ignoring them.

As he continued onwards, he saw some figures waiting ahead.

They were all familiar figures, and Chen Heng recognized most of their faces. The one at the lead made Chen Heng feel quite surprised.

It was a slightly skinny middle-aged man who was sitting on a horse, silently looking over.

“Father.”

Looking at the middle-aged man, a look of delight appeared on Chen Heng’s face, and he urged his horse forwards faster.

This was the father of Chen Heng’s body, the ruler of this region, Baron Kaisen.

Seeing Chen Heng, Baron Kaisen could not help but smile either.

Sitting on his horse, he looked at Chen Heng with an earnest gaze.

Compared to half a year ago, Chen Heng had changed greatly.

Because he had been cultivating the Knights Breathing Technique, he looked much more valiant and became even taller and more well-built. At a glance, he looked like a powerful Knight, strong and resolute.

He had matured greatly, and just standing there, anyone could sense his unique energy, which made it difficult to forget him.

“Good, good…” Baron Kaisen got off his horse and patted Chen Heng’s shoulder.

“It’s been a year…”

Looking at Chen Heng’s face, he could not help but sigh and said, “You came back.”

“That’s right,” Chen Heng also smiled and said, “I’m finally back.

“When I was out, I was always thinking of father.

“But now, I’m finally back.”

“I had thought that the Kutu Royal City was too prosperous and that you wouldn’t want to come back,” hearing Chen Heng’s words, Baron Kaisen could not help but laugh, and he spoke teasingly.

“Even though the Kutu Royal City is prosperous, in the end, this is my home,” Chen Heng smiled, “This is my place.”

“Well said.”

Baron Kaisen nodded in satisfaction before looking behind Chen Heng and said, “Alright, you’re finally back, so don’t just keep standing there; let’s go back.”

“Alright,” Chen Heng said with a smile.

Following this, they began to walk back to the residence.

“Where’s big brother?” Chen Heng asked out of curiosity.

Baron Kaisen’s group was quite big, and there were many people Chen Heng was familiar with.

However, Chen Heng’s body’s older brother, Ormando, was not among them.

“He…” Thinking about Ormando, Baron Kaisen’s expression became cold, as if he did not want to mention him.

Chen Heng could not help but feel curious, and after asking about it, he understood.

It turned out that recently, Ormando had led a group of guards to attack a merchant group that came from nearby, resulting in the anger of a neighboring ruler, making Baron Kaisen feel incredibly troubled.

Even though this matter had passed, Baron Kaisen had become annoyed towards Ormando, and he had sent him somewhere else so that he would not feel angry whenever he saw him.

As such, Ormando was not present when receiving Chen Heng.

Then again, even if he was still here, he might not have come to receive Chen Heng.

After all, back then, Chen Heng’s relationship with his older brother was not very good.

After hearing about what Ormando had done in the past year, Chen Heng could not help but shake his head.

As expected, some people were not at all qualified to even be his opponents.

Over at the Kutu Royal City, Chen Heng had been incredibly cautious and worked hard to gather power, and he was now quite exceptional.

On the other hand, back here, Ormando not only had not done anything of note but he had also caused a lot of trouble.

He was unable to accomplish anything and had spoiled everything.

However, this was good for Chen Heng.

For Ormando to perform like this, if he was compared to Chen Heng, even if he was the elder son, Baron Kaisen would be able to easily make a decision.

This made things easier for Chen Heng, although to the current Chen Heng, a mere Baronony was not much anymore.

However, at the end of the day, this was still a source of strength. If he could legitimately succeed a Baron’s territory, it was better than him having to take it by force.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng smiled and continued to walk forwards.

“Speaking of which…”

As they walked, Baron Kaisen said, “I looked at your suggestions from before; they were quite good. The surrounding rulers also want to join in. Now that you’ve come back, many of them want to meet you. What do you think?”

“Of course,” Chen Heng smiled, “I’ll meet them and have a good chat with them.”

Apart from coming back to see Baron Kaisen, he also came to work on his trade route.

The north-south trade route was an incredibly profitable opportunity.

With his geographical advantage and his relationship with Krudo’s family, he had gathered most of the northern rulers’ goods.

With Knight Sli, Krudo’s family was one of the top families among the northern rulers. Even though they were somewhat poor, they were still quite influential among the rest of the northern rulers.

Because of their reputation, Chen Heng was able to gather many northern rulers into a merchant alliance, having a monopoly over their goods.

According to the agreement, Krudo’s family—or rather Chen Heng—would be responsible for selling the northern rulers’ goods.

The northern rulers promised to give most of their goods to Chen Heng, and he would not privately sell them for a certain amount of time.

Of course, such a contract could be quite problematic, but because of their circumstances, the northern rulers did not have much of a choice. Moreover, with Chen Heng’s performance, he was able to win over some trust from them.

As such, there would not be any problems with this agreement for the time-being.

This agreement tested Chen Heng’s selling ability.

If he could not quickly sell the stockpiled goods, allowing the northern rulers to quickly gain profits, this agreement would break down sooner or later.

That was one of the reasons why Chen Heng had come back this time.
