A night pass surprisingly peaceful. It was as though both the commoners and cultivators family is trying to digest the massive turn of events that actually happen in their insignificant city.

Everyone is affected on this matter but the most affected were the cultivators family. Usually, commoners would just go with the flow when a major reshuffle of power happen in the city due to change of ruler.

However, it wasn't the same for cultivators family. That is because new rulers will try to supress the local snakes of the city.

But happen exceed what they expected. The city didn't just change its lord but it also announce its independency.

Now, they were in dilemma whether to leave and attached themselves once again to the empire, or stay and gamble their lives and livelihood for unknown future.

This was the main reason why the Towering Tree City have a peaceful night. The powerhouse of the city is considering their future action plan.

At the same time, when morning came, the streets in front of city lord mansion were bloated with commoners that intend to leave the city. They were thousands in number and since the city don't have family register, there is no document as a proof for number of heads in their family, the commoners don't have a choice but to bring their whole family. This explains why the street were bloated with numbers.

Looking at the huge number of people, Cole knew that he have to change his approach.

He immediately call for Dian and tell him his new plan.

"Dian, with the number of people outside, it might cause unwanted accident and injury. I can't help but worry at the state of every children and elderly outside. Change our approach, tell them to return to their respective houses and the employee of the city lord's office themselves will visit them from house to house."

Dian immediately busy himself to adjust the whole approach of the city lord's office.

First, he announce to the crowd about the exchange of system of gold coin distribution. Instead of flooding the city lord's mansion that might even lead to accidents and injuries, the officer of the city mansion themselves will visit them from door to door.

He told them to get ready. If they want to leave, the city officer will immediately give them the consolation gold coins while also buying the properties they can't bring with them on the comfort of their own home.

The sudden change definitely acquire the dissafaction of many. However, commoners already have a mentality that it's better for them to just follow the instruction than to create a scene. The world is just unfair to them and they knew it.

With the change of plan, Cole also decided to further adjust it in the end.

After Dian finish on dispersing the crowd, he return on Cole's temporarily office and talk about the changes and adjustment. They talk until they finalize it out.

Last night, Cole have already call all the possible human resource from the [Inner World] and they were currently on the same room as him. Fernan, Fernand, and Fernando were called for ensuring the public security while they have yet to breakthrough to Void Sensing-Stage. They're tasked of stopping chaos the city guards can't control. His brother-in-law, Gino, along with Celia were also assigned on this group.

He also call his older brother, Cold, to help. Lucky were also called for help since he can transform into human form.

After some thought, he also summon Blue. Although he said that he needs to focus on cultivation when he still have room for improvement, it'll be bad if he focus on that one thing alone for a long time. It's better to take a breather and change their environment from time to time to refresh one's mentality.
