"Although there are few people on the Crown of the World Island, there are some nobles. They live on top of the big mushroom and manage all the farmers below. They are also the ones who collect taxes."
Anna talked as she walked with her maid on the street where all kinds of mushrooms grew.
"Aren't they using the lives of these farmers to make money? They are really evil."
Anna nodded in agreement. "That's right, these people are really bad. Such a lucrative place should be given to me."
Anna walked along the road with her servant.
There were rickshaws soliciting passengers in the port area, but she did not take one. She needed to measure her new territory on foot.
There are not only fields under the Crown of the World. There are some low rooms between the fields. They are the residences of the farmers.
Anna walked in and found that the place was empty except for some mushrooms growing in the corners.
Only the faint coughing sounds in the houses proved that this was not a dead village.
Anna walked through the village and continued towards the end of the street.
The island was very large, and it took Anna three hours of hiking to reach the bottom of the Crown of the World. A large wooden basket the size of a small room was hung under the giant mushroom, with a thick rope extending all the way upwards.
"I need to go up. I have something important to discuss with your governor." Facing the dark-skinned man guarding the elevator, Anna took out an emblem of Hefang Island and spoke directly in a commanding tone.
Looking at Anna's temperament and dress, as well as the servants behind her, the guys in black uniforms dared not stop them and quickly opened the elevator door.
As dozens of strong men nearby shouted slogans and pushed the winch, the large wooden basket carrying Anna slowly rose upwards.
Following a hole carved out of the Crown of the World, the basket slowly came to the umbrella surface of the Crown of the World.
Anna felt the sweet smell in the air disappear.
The umbrella of the crown of the world seems to have some kind of magic, which isolates the spores while also isolating the suffering and poverty below.
A quiet and peaceful town appeared in front of Anna. Under the bright street lights, the people in the town were all dressed in bright clothes, which formed a sharp contrast with the lifeless rural villages below.
Just then, a furry puppy ran over and squatted at Anna's feet, looking at her with its big eyes.
A boy with a bow tie around his neck ran over. He first apologized to Anna generously, then took out a rope and tied it to the dog's collar. "Goodbye, sister."
Watching the boy leading the puppy away, Anna closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "What a wonderful place with so many talented people. I'm a little hungry."
After observing it carefully for a long time, Anna walked towards the largest building in the town, which was the Governor's Palace, the crown of the world.
Anna's noble temperament worked, and soon he was led to the guest living room.
She looked around at the extravagant decorations and shook her head in disappointment. "I don't like this decoration style, Martha. Remember, everything in this room must be replaced."
"Okay, Master, I'll take note of that."
While the master and servant were talking, a white-haired butler walked in and said, "Governor Tucker happens to be free now, you can come over."
Anna was taken to a bedroom and saw Tucker lying on the bed drinking milk.
Tucker is a tall and strong young man, but his face is surprisingly good-looking.
Smelling the familiar smell in the air and taking another look at the messy sheets, Anna frowned slightly.
Tucker drank the empty milk, put the cup on the table and lay back on the bed.
"My visit to the Governor is not about food, but about your island."
Listening to the pleasant female voice, Tucker raised his head and looked at Anna. Seeing Anna's charming eyes above the veil, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Name a price, stay on my island."
Anna had a hint of smile in her eyes. "As long as you agree to my request, then I will agree to your request."
"Oh?" Tucker was in the mood. He lifted the quilt covering his body and walked naked in front of Anna.
"That's interesting. No one from other islands has come to see me for a long time. Who are you working for?"
"Governor, what we are going to discuss next is very important. Don't you think there are too many people here?" Anna said to the servants serving around and the guards on guard.
Tucker waved his fat hand, and the people in the room retreated respectfully, and the maids behind Anna also retreated.
Anna's eyes began to change rapidly, and her voice suddenly became unusually stern. "Is it really appropriate for you to speak like this in front of your own sister?"
Tucker's eyes began to become confused, but as a ring on his left thumb glowed red, his expression quickly came to its senses, "Are you modifying my memory?"
"Puff" a forearm-long wooden spike shot out from under the bed with an afterimage and instantly pierced Anna's chest.
Anna's pretty face collapsed in an instant, and the huge tentacle monster screamed and fled outside.
Several dark shadows instantly flew out from the bed and quickly followed.
Listening to the fighting sounds and the screams of the monsters outside the door, Tucker showed a trace of disdain on his face and turned to walk towards his bed.
"Who dares to come and cause trouble for me? Although the World Crown is not big, it is still a living island. Do you really think I am not prepared?"
As soon as Tucker finished speaking, he heard some movement behind him. He turned around and saw the person coming. He shouted impatiently, "Sister!! What's wrong with me playing with a woman? Do you have to stare at me like this?"
"Have you forgotten the promise you made to your father? What have you been doing all these years!" Anna, who was safe and sound, stood there looking at him with disgust.
"So what? Father has been dead for five years!! I am the governor of this island! Get out now!" Tucker shouted excitedly.
"If you keep going on like this, one day you'll die in a woman's belly." Anna left with a look of disappointment on her face.
"That's none of your business! You old woman who can't get married!!" Tucker waved his hands excitedly behind him, not noticing that a shallow crack appeared on the ring on his index finger.
As soon as Anna walked out of the door, she saw her maids carrying corpses. They were empty-handed before, but now they were holding all kinds of strange relics in their hands.
Among them were the servants just now, as well as some guys wearing black cloaks, their eyes filled with astonishment and fear.
"Master, congratulations, this island is now yours." Martha came up to him with a smile.
Anna stretched and shook her head. "Not yet. Being an island governor involves too many relationships. We have to slowly manage our occupation of other people's territory. I don't know how Charles is doing."
