Chapter 374 - Know who you work for (1/2)

”This is the best night of my entire life,” the young boy said, looking up at his parents. Before the by was covered in filth, his hair was messy and untidy, and his face looked miserable. There were still several bruise marks over his body. Still, just the shower and new clothes made him look like a completely different person.

The smile on his face even warmed up his parent's hearts. Bob, who had been looking after the slaves and seemed to find everything an annoyance, was starting to have a smile on his face.

”Is this real happiness,” Bob said. Before Bob had only cared about money as a merchant and he only used it for himself and no one else. He never realised how much difference a shower and meal meant to these people were.

Some of them had never had a warm bath in thier life, and right they felt like royalty. Still, there was the big question on everyone's mind, just who was Ray. He was not just wealthy like other merchants, it seemed like he had even more wealth than them.

Katy had even noticed at the front desk, when Ray was asking for rooms at the inn, thier treatment of him was different. She wanted to ask, but there was no way she could overstep herself as a slave. She knew her place, she was just to do as asked, and if they were treated like this, she felt like she could live a happy life.

Ever since Ray had entered his room, he never left to check up on the slaves. Each of them were given thier own rooms to share to sleep for the night. Before going to sleep, several of them cried. They just couldn't believe what was happening.

Even if it was a trick, to experience one day like this before, possibly dying was a dream come true. For all of them, it was the best night sleep they had ever had.

The next day had arrived, and the morning sun was out. Ray had recived no more messages from Jack. It was still early, so Ray felt like Jack would message him when he needed him. He could rely on Jack for that at least.

Today, Ray had a different goal. It was to enter the auction has as a VIP member. There were a couple of things he wanted, a new weapon for Jack, equipment for himself or those close to him and also to find out just what was in those metal containers.

As soon as Ray had left the room, he could see all the slaves standing there in there new clothes. They all had huge smiles on thier faces. ”Good morning, master.” they all said as they bowed down.

Bob looked at them proudly. He had been working all morning waiting for Ray to wake up and see his work. Originally, it wasn't Bob's idea but Katy. She had come up to him, asking if there was anything they needed to do for thier new owner, she insisted that she wanted to help.

Thus Bob had come up with this, drilling in the proper manner and way to greet one in a high position. It was challenging work, as many of them had bad habits, but it just made it that much more rewarding when he saw the result.

However, Ray wasn't exactly pleased. Seeing this had brought back some memories of when Jack was in charge of the Redwings.

”These call me master, and the others call me boss. What is with these people?” Ray thought, confused.

Katy stepped forward from the row of slaves and saluted. ”Is there anything you would like us to do for you today master.”

Last night Ray had thought about what to do with the slaves. Especially after Bob had given him some advice. Finally, Ray had come up with a plan.

He walked up to Katy and placed his hand on her.

[Would you like to break the contract?]
