Chapter 41 part1 (1/2)

Not gonna happen

Seeing the golden mark on the mermaid cub’s forehead in the picture, as well as the fact that the photos were from a cub raising branch on Gaia, several important people in the Houdie family instantly knew what was going on.

The mermaid cub in the picture certainly was from their family. It was the one they had sent to be abandoned on Gaia.

Their family’s cubs didn’t have the golden mark until they were one year old. They had indeed hoped that the cub wouldn’t survive until then…. It was hard-hearted, but there was no need for any excuses, they had made this decision for the sake of the family’s reputation and best interest.

Their family had birthed a cub who couldn’t speak. It may not be a big deal in other races, but it was completely different in the mermaid race.

The cub who was supposed to be gone was still alive. When the people in the Houdie family who knew the whole story first got word of it, they were thrown into disorder.

It happened so suddenly, moreover this was not something they could just close their eyes and ignore, they had to deal with it.

As for the identity of the mermaid cub in the photos, his father was the second son of the old master. Or more like, had been.

The cub came into the world as an orphan. When the cub was born, the father of the cub had already passed away and the mother died soon after giving birth to the egg.

If the cub hadn’t been abandoned on Gaia, he would also have been a young master of the Houdie family.

“Take back the cub from that club first and give them enough money to keep their mouths shut.”

The old master turned his head towards one of his trusted aids as he spoke. He was sitting on a high-back chair, the black cane in his hand knocked against the ground, making two clear sounds.

The matter had not yet blown up, but a hole had appeared. Now that they had seen the hole, how could they not rush to repair it?

The cub raising club on Gaia must be aware of the mermaid cub’s speech impairment. As the first step was always to gather relevant information, the old master of the Houdie family had a basic understanding of the club.

The “Yunbao” cub raising club had twice caught the public’s attention on Xingyou, but it was not very well known. In other words, it was presently not completely unheard of but could still be considered an ordinary low-level club.

Knowing that it was just a small club, the old master was still very calm.

It was only this year that the cub raising club had begun to slowly grow, before that, it had just been a worn out club of interest to no one.

Since this was the case, getting them to keep their mouths shut should be very easy. They basically only needed to handle the staff within the branch and then the matter should not spread further.

The reason as to why the cub had been abandoned was not hard to guess. The only thing they needed to consider was how to hide the fact that the cub could not speak.

After dispatching his men to Gaia, the old master of the Houdie family sat down and calmly waited for his subordinates to bring the cub back.

Follow-up matters were not properly handled, but they could only do so much now.
