Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Noah's decision to revert the gas price back to its original level shocked not only outsiders but also his right-hand man, Kyle.

Given the Davis family's wealth, earning less is not a big deal. However, the increase in gas prices was tacitly agreed upon by the four major families of Juecheng.

Noah's sudden price correction is undoubtedly a betrayal of the other three major families.

Making enemies of three families at once will likely bring many troubles to my life in Juecheng.

Kyle glanced at Noah, who was sitting at his desk in a daze, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, forgive my rudeness, may I ask a question?"

"You know it's rude to ask, yet you still ask?"

Noah focused his gaze on Kyle and asked in return.

Kyle said, "I'm just really curious."

"What are you curious about? Are you curious about why my A-Yuan is so beautiful?"

Kyle: "...Patriarch, why did you make this connection to Mr. Qi Yuan?"

He was truly speechless.

How come he never noticed before that his friend and boss was so love-obsessed?

Even a casual chat with him can easily lead to discussions about Qi Yuan.

"This... how can I put it? A-Yuan is just too beautiful."

Last night, when he was wiping Qi Yuan's body, he used lighthearted conversation to ease Qi Yuan's resistance to him.

But only he himself knew.

He was deliberately distracting himself.

Qi Yuan's skin was fair and smooth, like a peeled egg. His figure was slender yet powerful, and he was as beautiful as a work of art.

Noah only intended to tease Qi Yuan last night, but he never expected to dig a hole for himself. As soon as he closed his eyes, all he could think about was Qi Yuan's body.

"I was so stupid!"

Recalling what he had done last night, Noah cursed under his breath.

Kyle stood there, stunned.

He realized that Noah hadn't heard him at all, as Noah was completely absorbed in his own world, and that what Noah said was completely different from what he had asked.

"Master of the family? Master of the family!"

Kyle called out twice, and Noah finally snapped out of his daze, his gaze returning to Kyle.

"What else do you want?"

"Patriarch, I just asked you why you suddenly reversed the price? Do you know that this will offend the other three families?"

Seeing that Noah had no intention of listening to him, Kyle stopped hiding his doubts and spoke his mind directly.

Noah's expression turned serious when he heard his question.

"Kyle, do you know how Ayuan became an orphan?"

"do not know."

Kyle could only find out that Qi Yuan was an orphan whom Kalis had picked up in the snow.

Because Kalis didn't care about Qi Yuan's past and never asked how Qi Yuan became an orphan, even Kalis didn't know why Qi Yuan became an orphan.

"A-Yuan's parents froze to death at home because they couldn't afford to pay the gas bill."

Kelton paused, "That's why you lowered the price and even offered them a month's free use."

“Every year, around three hundred people freeze to death in Juecheng during the dead of winter. That was before the price increase. Now that the price has increased, how many people do you think will freeze to death in Juecheng this winter?”

There was no joking or teasing; Noah looked at Kyle with a rare serious expression.

Kyle paused to think for a few seconds. "Winter came early this year, and the first snow just fell. The temperature has dropped sharply these past few days, colder than in previous years. Based on past data, if prices don't recover, the number of people who die from the cold could double, or even be more terrifying."

The gap between the rich and poor in Juecheng is extremely large.

Rich people have meat and desserts at every meal, while poor people may only eat a piece of bread a day, and that piece of bread may even be moldy.

Even if prices return to their original levels, there will likely still be a group of people who can't afford the gas bills for heating and will freeze to death.

“Kyle, you and I come from good backgrounds. We’ve lived in warm rooms and had delicious, hot food since we were little, so we’ve never worried about gas bill increases. But many of our bodyguards have climbed up from those poor families.”

"If we only care about making money and push those people to their deaths, do you think someone might consider overthrowing us? I've read in many books about nobles who, for their own benefit, pushed commoners to their deaths, ultimately leading to rebellions. The other three major families seem to be our most formidable competitors, and betraying them might cause us a lot of trouble. However, the combined population of these three families is less than half of Juecheng's residents, yet our Davis family controls 70% of Juecheng's guns. What could they possibly do? If we gave every citizen of Juecheng a gun and twenty bullets, who do you think they would side with?"

Kyle hadn't expected any of this, and he stood there, stunned.

The city of Juecheng is home to many underground mafia gangs, large and small, who possess a small number of weapons and originally came from impoverished backgrounds.

Even if those poor people unite, the fact that these small mafia gangs team up before that is enough to cause them trouble.

While it might be premature to worry that the people of Juecheng would rebel, it wouldn't be bad to gain some good reputation through this incident. After all, Noya had only been the new head of the family for three months, yet he had already given the people of Juecheng a great gift. At least in their hearts, they would think that this new head of the family was a good person.

They also have expectations for Noah, hoping that he can do more good things for the people of Juecheng.

So, as Noah said, if the three major families really cause them trouble, he will give each citizen of Juecheng a gun and twenty bullets. How many people will be willing to stand on Noah's side then?

"Master, let's put aside the external issues for now, what about the internal ones?" Kyle asked.

Noah sneered, "It's just a little less money, it won't kill them, and they have no right to drag me down from the position of head of the family so quickly. Besides, I've been obedient for more than three months since I became the head of the family, so obedient that outsiders think I'll do nothing when they think my servants have been bribed to cause trouble in the Davis family. So obedient that I won't do anything when my aunt leads outsiders to cause trouble in the Davis family."

“Kyle.” Noah looked up at Kyle. “Those old guys are picky, but they don’t want to see a weak patriarch who is bullied. I should act like a naive and reckless young man and cause some trouble for them.”

Kyle's doubts were finally resolved.

Although everything Noah did today seems to be making enemies, as the head of the Davis family, he should be a little arrogant and overbearing.

It's not like I'm a reincarnated turtle. If I don't act arrogantly now that I have money and power, when will I ever become arrogant?

Just as Kyle, who had suddenly understood, was about to praise Noah's wisdom, there was a knock on the heavy door.

Noah said, "Come in."

The door opened, and a bodyguard dressed in all black walked in, respectfully saying, "Master, we have caught the perpetrator of the West District factory bombing. What do you want to do with him?"
