Lin Mu was a bit confused upon hearing that the son of the Wu Lim city's mayor was coming back. According to what he knew, the mayor had two sons. The eldest son was part of the Shuang Qian Kingdom's army and was a lieutenant, while the youngest one was rather unknown. All that was known about him was that he lived in the Wu Lim City as well and did not leave it usual.

Most people did not even know about the identity of the youngest son of the Mayor. This led Lin Mu to believe that it was obviously the eldest son that was coming back the city. But then he wondered why were jobs being issued.

"Why are there jobs though, even if the son of the mayor is coming back?" Lin Mu questioned.

"The Mayor's son is not only coming back, but is also bringing back his personal battalion of soldiers that he commands. These soldiers number in the thousands and unlike the ones at the southern town's army camp, actually practice and spar all the time.

They need people to maintain their equipment in tip top condition. And this maintenance job is not the only job being issued, other jobs like common servants, stable boys, cleaners, cooks, and blacksmiths are also being issued.

There are people from all four towns as well as the nearby villages applying for it. While the mayor's son will be living in the city during this entire time, his battalion will be left behind in the southern town according to the rules of the empire." The man explained.

Lin Mu finally understood the entirety of the situation but still felt that something didn't add up. Even if the son of the mayor was a lieutenant in the Shuang Qian kingdom's army, it didn't make sense for him to make an entire battalion move here.

Lin Mu couldn't help but be suspicious of the entire thing.

'Did the mayor find out about something and called his son to help?' Lin Mu thought.

At that time Lin Mu had thought that they were perhaps intended for the mayor's son as he may have gotten injured, but now seeing him return perhaps it was not that
