The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 22

A Year Later

Jim was busy taking care of some files and documents with a cruel look. Now the village has turned into a developed village with high income. There are no more hungry people or poor people in this village.

The village grew into a beautiful village with many trees straddling the road that looks like a tunnel. In spring it looks like a flower tunnel that emits its characteristic fragrance, in summer it is like a lush green foliage and in autumn it looks like a tanned orange tunnel of yellowed foliage.

The village is named Bloom Mist, a flower village that hides in the mist. Because of the many types of flowers found in this village both in parks, canals, rivers and on the roadside.

In addition to a beautiful village, residents here also have a beautiful face that spoils the eye but is deadly. Like ninjas, they are masters of spying, medicine and killing. They hide their true identity in everyday professions. As a result, they came from slaves saved by Leona, a stranded orphan, and exiled midfielders and prisoners.

Many village nobles hired their services to eradicate bandits and monsters, investigation as well as treatment. Slowly the village of Bloom Mist turned into a tourist village that made the village prosperous.

Once some bandits came to pillage this village, but they have been slaughtered by the residents and put their heads on the edge of the forest near the bandit headquarters. Suddenly it made fellow bandits angry and attacked the village of Bloom Mist.

With sadistic servants and demons in the residence Calisius finish them off and throw them that were accidentally seen by residents from the next village. Since then this village began to be reluctant and they began to ask for help from this village.

"These bastards don't stop sending letters." Furious Jim was annoyed while sorting out some documents.

"Maybe they want to enjoy the fruits of your hard work given how you've built this village, Jimmy-sama." Sahut Kazuma relax.

"Well!! I don't care!" Then Jim threw all the documents into the fireplace. Some of the servants just stared flatly at the documents engulfed in flames.

"Maybe they want to profit from your money, considering that now you have a lot of money, even almost your wealth almost rivals the kingdom." Knock Kei bluntly in a relaxed manner.

"Did Jimmy-sama accept that crazy person's proposal?" Arelle asked flatly.

"I'd rather take care of Leona than get married." Angry Sung. Although his nephew made him have to be extra patient, but the girl was able to help him build this village in a short time and boost the economy significantly.

"The two smelly bastards of land just want to borrow money for fun, Jimmy-sama. Better to just refuse." Sahut they compact.

Ever since Leona gave the book to the servants, the entire residence began to change. Abusive language, swearing and insults without manners become common language here. Even Jim indirectly contracted their language. Jim and Leona were no longer called masters and nuns like the other nobles, they were given the same frills. Because for Leona, being called Miss or Lady is very annoying.

Not just any residence. Some of Leona's troops also obtained the curse book, including in the village library. So that almost the entire village is accustomed to speaking rudely and swearing according to the conditions and situation.

"All kids. Soon winter is coming and you can have a long two-month holiday." Ryn's successful speech made the disciples cheer happily.

"Spring of the second week, there will be the announcement of the division of the team and get your first mission." Take it again.

The prickling is heard. They guess who will be the teammate and guide in the group. Even some of them hope not a group with Leona considering that the girl has no aura or mana. Because the girl looks so weak at practice.

Leona is not weak. He just lazy to show himself. He could destroy the training area considering how the knights in the Castallio residence cried blood from his actions with Jim.

After disbanding, they immediately headed to the dormitory and packed their belongings. Even some students choose to be there considering they have nowhere to go.

"You're not coming home?" Leona asked her best friend and roommate, Kiara Seohan, a pretty faded pink-haired girl with beautiful blue eyes. He has a European-Korean face.

During this time Kiara lived with the money that was collected while still a street child. He who had mana was trying to survive by hunting down low-level monsters and selling the core. He also worked hard to earn money.

"alright. I'll go home first." Pamit Leona who returned a sweet smile from the girl.

Leona arrived at the village door. Seen the village gate stands solidly as high as five meters with the inscription 'welcome'. Upon entering the village, he was greeted with a row of tree branches that began to be covered in thin snow considering that now began to enter winter.

The ten-meter-wide hotmix street looks solid. In the distance is a tall Japanese-style building at the end of the village then a clock tower in the center of the village as high as ten meters.

There are several well-preserved canals and rivers with sturdy wooden bridges. In the rivers and canals there are various types of water plants, in the form of lotus flowers, lotus and others and there are fish that swim with agility.

Leona decided to jump and run on the roof of the house so that residents immediately arrived at her residence. Soon Leona arrived at her residence and was greeted by Jim and the servants with joy, even some demons turned into their animal form.

"Leona-sama, you're finally home. We miss you." Excited the compact servants. Leona smiled sumringah.

"I miss you too."

💠💠💠

Within a year, Leona managed to realize her dream. She has made several types of care products and cosmetics such as body cream, make up, facial care, body and hair.

He sold it in the village and in a shop located in the city center. For in the city center, she sells makeup that is simple and practical, not forgetting the luxury packaging carved in such a way and sell it at a high price.

For body, face and hair care, he sold them at affordable prices in the suburbs and targeted the general public. For the noble class, he handed it to Saga. Of course with different packaging and different prices.

Near the port, Leona built a seafood tavern now run by her people. In less than a year, Leona's business expanded rapidly and became a favorite.

"Miss, this is our sale in a year." Say Saga and hand over the sales records. Leona accepted it and read the report carefully. Turns out the results were amazing.

"You're really great, Saga. As per the agreement, thirty-five percent of that is your money. Use as you please." Leona.

Saga who heard that was of course happy. His efforts paid fantastically. Moreover, the price of the goods is quite expensive and exclusive to make it quickly collect money.

"Miss, I've spent the profits first." Report Saga with a little fear. She's still traumatized by Michael's behavior towards her.

"Goodoo. That money is for spending. That's your part anyway, use it. You've worked hard." Leona's words that made the man moved.

Since Michael's death a year ago, Saga managed to run his business to the next kingdom to the imperial area with some of his believers. Leona who heard the story from Saga if some of Michael's bodyguards were mercenaries who were thrown out immediately recruited and trained him.

At first they refused because they were worried about the kingdom, especially the empress looking for their whereabouts. Finally Leona gave them some of her products and gave them the best quality clothes, of course Leona gave them a seal and a sign so that they would not betray.

Jim who heard that was of course happy. Leona has managed to build her own business without any help from Castallio. Although Leona's money was still a lot left, she wanted to open her own business

Leona is a beautiful genius girl. The girl's personality is unpredictable which sometimes makes Jim stroke the chest with his behavior.
