Dean took Joseph, Barton and others to a nearby tavern after leaving the branch of Fulton's Chamber of Commerce. He ordered a table full of dishes so that they could have a full meal. After all, they had been busy for half a day. Moreover, it was almost time for dinner. Everyone was hungry.
"D-Dean, we can't eat so much." Kroen swallowed his saliva as he looked at the table full of dishes.
Dean smiled: "If you can't finish then throw it away. It's not worth much."
"That won't do. Let's finish." They couldn't help but wolf down the food.
At this time, a waitress came over. She covered her nose as she looked at Joseph and others. She said to Dean: "You ordered a total of sixty-eight copper coins."
Dean frowned: "We haven't finished eating yet."
"We eat first and then pay the bill." The waitress said in a cold voice.
Dean was a bit unhappy but he was too lazy to care about it. He took out a silver coin and threw it into the tray in her hand: "You don't have to keep the change. Give me three more portions."
The waitress was surprised. She didn't expect Dean to be so generous. She didn't say anything as she went back to the kitchen to add more food.
"So expensive." Barton and others were embarrassed as they heard the girl's words. They didn't know whether they should swallow or not.
Dean waved his hand: "It's just a small amount. You can eat as much as you want. I'm not short of money."
Barton and the others were relieved to see that Dean didn't care or feel distressed. They continued to gobble up the food.
"Dean, where did you get the money from …" Barton was about to ask when he saw other guests come into the tavern. He quickly lowered his head and ate the food in front of him.
Dean smiled. He took them out of the tavern as they were almost done eating. They found a hillside nearby. He smelled that there was no one within two or three miles. He looked at them: "What are your plans for the future?"
Barton and Joseph looked at each other. Joseph stammered: "I, I don't know. I think I can find some odd jobs. I should be able to get some food."
"Me too," Barry said.
Dean looked at Barton and Kroen. He saw that their expressions were the same. He nodded: "I have redeemed you so I won't ignore you. There are three paths for you to choose. First, I have a house in the commercial district. I lack gardeners, gardeners and servants. You can take up these positions and help me take care of the house. Of course, I won't treat you as servants. It's just in name."
"A house in the business district?" Barton and the others widened their eyes in astonishment.
Dudian nodded: "Yes. Second, I will give each of you a sum of money. As for what you want to do in the future, I won't interfere. And the last one is to be my assistant and help me do things. "
"Be your assistant?" Barton and the others were immediately tempted.
Dean said in a serious tone: "But what I'm going to do is very dangerous. You might even lose your life. It's a bit illegal."
The few of them were taken aback and looked at each other hesitantly.
Barton looked up at Dudian: "I choose the third option. I'll help you with your work! But … I'm afraid that I won't be able to help you. "
Dean looked at him and nodded: "I'm giving you such an opportunity because I value your ability. Don't worry about it."
"I … I'll help you." Joseph stuttered, "If it wasn't for you, I would've been sent to the mines. If I worked like Barton, I would've lost my life. No matter what you want me to do, I'll listen to you!"
Dean nodded: "I want to explain that it is very dangerous to follow me. It is a road of no return. You don't need to repay me in this way because I redeemed you. You don't owe me anything. I just want to repay you for taking care of me."
Joseph was stunned. He looked at Kroen and Barry: "I'm willing to follow you. Although it's illegal but I believe that you won't be caught so easily with your intelligence. I don't want to be a poor person anymore. I want to stand at the top. I want to have a lot of money! "
Hearing his words, Kroen and Barry, who were still hesitating, couldn't help but tremble. They raised their heads and resolutely said: "We'll join too!"
Dean didn't expect Joseph to have such awareness. He smiled: "Making money is just a side effect. As long as you do well you'll have so much money that you won't be able to spend it." As he said that, he took out four gold coins from his waist pouch and said, "This is our current start-up capital. There will be new funds after a period of time. These four gold coins are for you. My request is that you find a remote place as soon as possible, the more remote the better, and then build a secret small-scale factory."
Barton and the others looked at the gold coins. Their heartbeats accelerated. Kroen couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid that we'll run away with the gold coins?"
Dean looked at him: "I trust you."
Kroen's eyes were red.
"At present, I don't have enough money. After a while, I will have more money. I will have extra funds for you to study. As for your body, I will try to find a way to treat it." Dudian said.
The four of them were startled. There was hope in their eyes.
"Now, you'd better change your clothes first. Otherwise, with your current clothes, you will be robbed as soon as you take out the gold coins." Dean smiled.
Joseph and the others looked at each other and laughed.
Dean looked at the time. It was getting late. He said to the four of them: "If you want to contact me then leave a code in the square in front of the orphanage. I'll come over when I have time. Remember to keep your identity confidential."
"We know." Kroen laughed.
Dean looked at Barton: "I'll find a way to restore your slave status as soon as possible. Don't worry."
"I'm not worried." There was a smile on Barton's face.
Dean smiled as he bid farewell to the others.
Dean hired a carriage and returned to the residential area after leaving the hillside. The return trip took more than an hour. The sky was getting dark. The curfew time would be coming soon.
Jura and her husband were busy preparing dinner when Dean returned home.
Both of them asked about Dean's whereabouts during the day. Dean casually said that he was strolling around. They didn't think much about it. After all, in their opinion, Dean was about to reach the age of marriage. Moreover he was a guard. Naturally he should have some personal space.
Dean got up on time the next morning. He went out after breakfast.
