The three days passed quickly, and soon the whole city knew that the new manager had taken the entire main street of the outer city under tight control and started renovating it with his own money.
The entire main street, which leads to the inner city from the outer city, now has personal guards hired by him to guard it 24/7.
The ruffians who used to stay near the bay and harass travelers have been caught and sent behind bars. They will remain there until they change their behavior or are sent to the mines to extract resources for the city.
The street that used to be dirty and smelled bad in some places has now been cleaned and looks new.
The shops that were built with structural defects and with no plan were demolished the places were emptied, and the lots were preserved for the future to build new hotels or other business when needed.
The entire 2-mile main road is now lined with spirit lamps that gather energy from the atmosphere to light up. Alternatively, you can place broken spirit stones to illuminate them at night.
With the installation of the spirit lamps, the entire street now has the look of a modern city street and offers a much more pleasant atmosphere for visitors.
--------------------------------------
The chief who was overseeing the work was shocked by the gradual changes took place in the street.
The people hired by Ray immediately assed the useful buildings and non-useful buildings and made a note of them while designing the street.
On the third day evening Ray went over the street for a quick checkup and was immensely satisfied by the decor shop manager work.
Although a lot of buildings got mowed down as they were not in a functional state, the rest which were kept were the big and main buildings which can start the business immediately.
Ray was then asked by the chief to name it, as the one managing the street has the right to name it according to their preferences for the period of time, they have the rights to manage it.
Ray then named the street as fortune street and asked them to place a big wooden sign at the start of the street welcoming the Travellers to fortune street.
Then Ray asked the shop manager to come to his villa and get the payment for the work they have done.
The manager happily agreed and took the workers, who were exhausted from working for three days, back to the inner city.
Then Ray asked the chief to ask all the assessed employes to get back to work and assign them to their positions according to their caliber.
The Ray left the back to his villa and saw the shop manager coming to his house on the way back.
Ray welcomed him the villa and gave him some drink after asking to be seated in the hall while he went into the bedroom to change his clothes and came back.
Soon brought back a small bag containing 20,000 low grade spirit stones and handed it over to him.
The manager gratefully took the bag, checked it, and found the payment was double the amount he had asked for. He intended to return the extra, but Ray told him to keep it, as he had promised to pay double if the work was completed in three days, which they had done.
With the insistence of Ray, the Shop Manager took the money happily and left the villa after a brief chat with him for few minutes.
Ray then went out to have dinner with Lily and retired for today's night.
-------------------
The next morning Ray woke and got ready to leave to the outer city as today is the day he will open the shops in the outer city.
In few minutes of Travelling the Ray reached the outer city and saw many workers are wearing uniforms and started doing the last preparatory work before the grand reopening.
Ray got down the carriage and walked next to the chief who was arranging the workers according to their abilities.
"Chief, is everything all right here." asked Ray.
Chief saw it was Ray who has arrived and asking him for brief details.
"Everything is alright, a few employes who had bad record due to thefts in the shop and bad manners were fired after paying them the money they were due and sent them off."
"While this led to few members not being happy and started to make nuisance, but our guards have handled them properly and sent them to the guard station." The chief reported.
"Great, I have sent an invitation to the city lord to send someone to open the street on their behalf, I hope someone will come and i don't want anyone thing go wrong while they arrive and see the mess and leave the bad impression on us." Ray spoke.
The chief immediately became serious when he heard the city lord will send someone to represent them for the reopening of the street.
As they were talking, they saw a grand carriage which was pulled by two well maintained carriage horse slowly exiting inner city and came towards them.
The carriage has city lord mansion symbol printed on it which alerted everyone on the street.
Within a minute the carriage stopped Infront of Ray, and the driver got down and opened the door so the person inside can get down.
The ones who were in the carriage were John, who wore a suit as standard butler attire, and Misha, who wore a beautiful white dress with a few gems inlaid in it.
John first got down and then handed his hand to Misha to support her to get down from the carriage.
Misha took his hand and got down the carriage gracefully and greeted Ray who has come forward to greet her and John.
"Miss Misha, I didn't expect you would come. Thank you for being here for the reopening of the shops on the street." Ray shook her hand and spoke to her while welcoming both of them.
"Well, I was wondering why Mr. Ray has taken fancy to our outer city and brought the managing rights for 5 years;"
"I have come to thank you for helping us by consigning the auction item and see for myself what has changed in the city main street after you have taken control." Misha said.
