The man Alexander addressed had a fierce scar on his face, a memento from a childhood bear attack, and a menacing, penetrative stare, making the man appear scary and unapproachable.
But in reality, the man named Diagonis was humble and soft-spoken and one who Alexander had appointed to oversee the lumber production within his territory.
"How are the tasks I assigned you?" Alexander lightly smiled at the man.
"We are on schedule. As you instructed, we have started collecting and processing the lumber. Once we have the cement, we can start building the new homes," Diagnosis succinctly replied.
Alexander had decided to completely renovate the slums by replacing them with four-story buildings and he gave this job to Diagonis.
"Good, you will get your mortari n a month. For the time being, make the foundation and the scaffolding," Alexander told Diagonis to get everything else ready so that he could commence construction as soon as the cement was made available to him.
