Yueliang walked over, examined the man and saw no form of identification. Then picked him up and started carried him back to his building. Fortunately the street he was attacked on was not very popular or it would have been more complicated. Then thought 'I guess it is time for some questioning. This man is really odd, I wonder where he is from.'
---- A few moments later ----
Yueliang arrived in his building carrying the knocked out man on his shoulder thinking. 'Hmm, come to think of it, I have not yet named this place. I wonder what I should name it.' While he was walking and in thought, some of his subordinates saw him walking through the entrance with a person on his shoulder, wondering if he was dead.
While Yue was walking, he noticed some of the odd glances they were giving him. Guessing what they thought, he figured it would be better for them to continue thinking that he killed him. So he just smiled and waved as he walked in. Yue just really did not want them to think he was weak.
Once Yue made it to his room, he pulled out a chair and placed the man on it. He threw some cold water on him to wake him up. The man groggily woke up with a big headache. Looking around, the man asked "Where am I?"
"That is the wrong question. You should be more concerned with answering mine if you want out of here." Yue said very seriously, trying to intimidate the man.
Ding. Ding.
"What do you want to know?" The man asked calmly, figuring if he was not careful he would die. Since this aristocratic child was not like the others he has seen.
"First off tell me why you came after me. You are to organized to be just some ordinary street thug. Also, tell me who you are." Yueliang said calmly while maintaining a sinister smile.
"To answer your first, you are right, I was hired. As for the second I cannot say. Argh." The man said in pain, then continued. "What did you do to me, why do I feel so much pain?"
While maintaining his sinister smile and just slightly tilting his head, he thought 'Yang, what is going on?'
"Master, if you checked your notifications you would have seen. First off, you obtained [Intimidate] {Allows user to strike fear into those of weaker will than user.} Once this ability is leveled up it becomes the skill menace. Which is a stronger version of the current 'intimidate', and will allow you to also taunt those stronger than you.
As for your second, that would be what is currently causing him pain. It is called [Interrogation] {Any lies or deception of any sort causes pain to the ones being questioned. Any honesty is rewarded by a happy and peaceful feeling.} This skill is exceedingly useful, and it has no downsides so long as you have high enough stats. That is all you need to know for now."
'Thank you Yang, you are always there for me. I guess I should get back to questioning him.' Yueliang thought then said. "I have done nothing to you, however have you ever heard of the saying that lies only bring about pain and suffering? Where as truth only brings happiness and prosperity?"

"Why are you talking about such things whilst I am in such pain!" The man said while gritting his teeth in pain as it increased from not answering Yue's question.
"If you really want the pain to stop, just answer truthfully, without deceit. The only one to blame for this is yourself you know." Yueliang said acting sympathetic while chuckling a little.
"Fine if it will stop this torment, my name is Shashou. Yes, I have heard the saying." The man said, then instantly started feeling so much better and at peace. He then asked "What is this?" to himself.
"Next question, who hired you, and what for?" Yueliang asked with that same sinister smile, only this time joined with a happy voice.
"I do not know who hired me. However I was just hired to make your life difficult at every turn." The man Shashou said.
"Hmm, if that is the case, how did you know of my origins?" Yue asked the man.
"I take assassination jobs normally. As for how I knew, when I could not do my research properly, I figured you either lived under a rock or where a noble living low key. Thus, paying another noble got me the information needed to understand my target." Shashou said quickly looking for more of this feeling that made him feel as light as a feather floating on the clouds, with nothing wrong in the world.
"I see, tell me why did you not want to work for me?" Yue asked curiously.
"There are no problems with that, except that I try to stay professional and finish the jobs I start. If you are able to pay and provide for me I do not care who I work for. Also, I figured you were joking. It is not often a low born gets offered a job by a noble. However if you were serious, I would be glad to take the job. I just ask that you do one thing." Shashou replied.
"What is that?" Yue asked even more curiously.
"To pay the fee for leaving a mission. Otherwise I either get killed or finish the mission. It is 500 thousand, basically five times the reward to keep people from leaving a mission once taken." Shashou said feeling ecstatic from Yue's interrogation skill.
"I see, well I will take care of it. I look forward to our work together in the future." Yueliang said then guided him to a room for him to reside him. Then said "Stay in this room until I come to get you. There is a lot of danger if you leave this room without my permission." Yueliang said seriously.
Shashou nodded then went to examine the room, and made himself comfortable.
'It is time to assign jobs to everyone then, make some more Illusion armbands, for myself, Shashou and some extras. For humans it will not change their appearance, however will still give sight beyond disguise and what the other effects.' He thought to himself while starting to gather everyone in the meeting hall.
After gathering everyone, Yueliang said. "Alright everyone, let us begin. So first off I will say this. There will be an accounting and resource division which will keep track of all our business assets. If any group needs money, they will apply there. If someone feels there is corruption, come to me. No need to feel afraid. Now as for the groups. I will let everyone figure out their jobs themselves, and payment. I trust you all.

Now for the main focus of this meeting, there will be an agriculture group focusing on growing plants and food, and better ways to nurture and develop them. This group will take care of our plant needs, not just food but also for anything else they are needed for.
There will be a pharmaceutical group if you do not cultivate, come to me and I will give manual to you to begin that journey. Those who work in this group are preferred to practice all methods of making medicine, so that we do not loose out on any field.
There will be the gastrologic and cooking department. These people will focus on development of food, not just for diets, but also to increase our strength and what not.
Tech will probably be the biggest department as you will work on researching and developing our technology. Of course there will be branches in this department to make sure you do not have to fight over resources.
Any other departments you feel are needed create as you see fit. There must be at least 5 people to create one. If you cannot come up with the people, try making some golems or something to assist you.
Now as for something you all must know. I will give you money to start this work, however what you all are able to develop, we will sell the more basic things in order to make money to fund ourselves. I can supplement funds from time to time, however do not expect anything if you have not tried raising the money yourself first. We must become a self reliant business. I should also say, I am not trying to dump everything onto you, I will help a lot. However there is a lot I have to manage and take care of right now. Any questions?" Yueliang finished.
One orc raised their hand and said. "Who will be leading this if you are busy? Also, how do we contact you?"
"Easy, I would normally say Rei, however if you feel he is not worthy raise your hand." Yue waited and saw no hands raised so continued. "Okay that settles that. Now if you want to contact me for any reason, you may teleport to me. If you do not know how ask Rei or someone else as I am sure they could guide you better than me on that subject. Any other questions or concerns?"
"No sir." They all replied.
"Thank you all for being understanding. I know I promised you house and home, and you shall have it. However before I get involved in changing your lives, I would like for you to live as you used to for now to get used to things around here first. Then after things calm down I will start leading you into the future. However for now I am working on your growth as well as my own at the same time. I want for you all to have the best and happiest of lives.
The last thing I have to say before concluding this meeting is this. Everyone I know you are currently better than me in most if not all stats. However soon I will have work out areas, libraries, schools, and so much more. I want for you all to be able to grow as well thus, once these are ready, I decree that you shall go once a day except on Saturday and Sunday.
The schools for children just for a 6 hours a day. Teacher will be paid as well. The libraries are for you to learn anything you do not already know about. Your time used there will be up to you. However if you fall behind the rest I shall make a punishment reward system. This way you will all look forward to becoming the best you can be. All the rest of the places will be the same.
It will be up to you whether to go or not. However, do not be lazy because you will only cheat yourselves. This rule does not only apply to you. My system as you know afflicts these same rules upon me. Which by the way, I will have a gift for you all once I start seeing your improvement." Yueliang said happily.
"King Yueliang, King Yueliang, King Yueliang." They all cheered happily, many even crying tears of joy, because they had such a great leader who cares so deeply about them. Even creating a systematic way of life that will allow them to have better lives. He even lets them bring up their complaints and will fix things. In their eyes Yueliang was just too great.
They began to feel that king was to lowly of a term. However they still felt complete and utter respect and reverence towards him. He was like a father who wanted the best for his children. Even the fathers in the crowd started looking to him as an example.
Upon the cheering slowly dying down, Yueliang said. "Instead of money, I will be making a credit based system in which you will be able to use freely. If you want money you may exchange credits for it. If you want something from my system for instance you may use your credits. If I cannot provide what you want, I will refund your credits until such a time that I can. Also, I will design a building plan later that I would like you to construct for me. It will provide more room for everything and allow easier travel and etc. Now with this I conclude this meeting, thank you all once again for being here along with your love and respect. I love you all my family and friends."
Then Everyone began to leave happily and quickly started working on forming the groups based on their skills and knowledge. If one wanted to join a group they were not suited for they would have to study and work hard. They all decided to do their best, as they wanted to live up to their kings praise and expectations of them. Or at least what they thought he had of them.
'Well soon will be time for the celebration of my birthday/ and coming into the underworld. I will also have to start working on my cultivation, as well as all the other plans. However for now, I need to speak with Orslaine about our current situation.' Yueliang thought to himself.

Disclaimer: I'm not continuing this story. Check out Azarinth Healer, it's a more current story where I worked on a lot of things I found wrong with this one. Main character is somewhat similar as well so if you like Eleonora, you'll probably like Ilea. I still invested a ton of time writing this so check it out if you feel like it. There's gonna be 20 Chapters 39k words total. Hey everyone. This is a story I've started writing like a year ago and thought why not post it now. This story is about fighting and magic in a pretty standard fantasy world. The story follows Eleonora through her daily life in Duneswatch and on her way to become an adventurer. No secrets here, it's pretty generic. Should be decently paced so just give it a shot if you want to. I'm not gonna sell it to you in this quick summary. The range of writing on RR is so wide we both know you just have to give it a chapter...or a paragraph depending on how unique the grammar is. Please do criticize harshly. I'm definitely no writer but everybody can improve with pointers in the right direction. Don't expect regular updates.
