Chapter 4 (1/2)

The next day, Saymon, no, rather Luke, wasn’t able to get rid of his frustration.

And as he walked in the garden for the purpose of cooling down his anger, he was about to move toward a crowd.

One was the retainer specifically assigned to Rakan, and the personal butler Hans and the other was a fat young man with a haughty impression and the other escorts.

Not having the nerve to do anything, they were moving in with a lot of disagreeing statements within them.

“I told you not to! Young Lord is still very sick!”

“Stop trying to avoid me. I won’t believe it unless I witness it with my eyes… oh, there you are.”

The young man who found Luke seemed very glad. Almost like a beast who just found its prey.

The young man who came in the direction pushed away from the retainer and approached Luke.

“My greetings. Young Lord?”

“What is it?”

At the bothered look that was on Luke’s face, the young man with a slight unpleasant look began to introduce himself.

“Did you not think of me? Terin, the manager of Alon Firm.”

“Firm? Should I really care for it?”

Luke stared over at Hans the butler with carelessness registered in his eyes. Asking him to take care of it.

But Terin was stubborn.

“Hmph, you need to care. Didn’t young Lord take out 30,000 pesos for mine development last year? That payment is just a month away.”

Terin pulled out a piece of paper for them to see.

It was a loan deed.

However, the blunt look on the face of Luke hadn’t changed.

The price of 30,000 pesos may be a very huge amount, but it wasn’t such a matter because of the family that he belonged to.

“I was told that the manor was placed in for the collateral. If you find it hard to pay off the debts, won’t they be taking another collateral?”

“I don’t know. Ask these retainers.”

It sure was annoying, but the decision that Luke took was the right one.

The parents of Luke had passed away early when he was still a minor, and the retainers were in charge of everything in the estate, from big to small.

“For the young Lord to say things like this, how can you? Will he be able to pay it within 20 days?”

Terin asked the retainers and Hans.

“That, that is a little…”

Cold sweat ran down the bald head of Dickson, who managed the matters of the estate.

Terin raised his eyes and his voice even more.

“Then I’ll take the collateral instead. It won’t be much as it has been used, but for the time being, I’m willing to consider it.”

“Tch, we’ll if you want…”

“That can’t happen!”

A middle-aged man who gave a strong impression because of the breastplate on his uniform had opposed.

He was the Chief Knight of Rakan, Roger.

“The estate has been in a hold by armed forces and Gigants for only 3 years, how can it be sold off? Will you bow your head in front of the neighboring estates?”
