A tacit mutual understanding was achieved instantly, Winters instantly understood what Anna meant.
From Wolf Town to Maplestone City, Winters had lost a lot, but also established a lot. He not only built an army and a regime but also founded many industries that continuously generated wealth.
From the vast farms scattered throughout Iron Peak County, to the iron-smelting blast furnaces burning day and night in Forging Village, to the bustling ironworks in the new city of Revodan, even including the wool business with the Red River Tribe...
All that Winters established with his own hands was so tightly bound to him that it became indistinguishable from what was public or Winters Montagne's own.
For instance, the ironworks in the new city of Revodan — apart from Winters himself, probably everyone else, especially the Steel Fortress immigrants sweating profusely inside the ironworks, would never doubt that the workshop was Winters Montagne's private property.
