49 Works for none (2/2)
”The servant stays!”
”servant? who is your servant?” Cheskah looked back and gave the elders a challenging smile. Coming from a family of physicians, whose parents are working at the imperial palace, they could not offend her.
”The lady who is wearing a veil and mask may have not informed you young miss, but she is currently working for us, however she had offended one of our family members and failed to execute her duties. We need her to stay to be punished.” Elder Han politely explained.
”Can I see your contract then?”
”this..... Elder Fumi bring out the contract.”
”We.. we dont have a contract. But this woman delivers fruits and vegetables in our restaurant ever since she was little. We did not made a contract to let her go to school. Her faults clearly shows what an ingrate she is” Elder fumi said trying to point the fault to Madel.
Henry rolled his eyes and continued to walk towards the entrance.
”since they don't have the contract let's go.” he said.
”wait Henry, These elders probably did not know that Kyline already dismissed Madel off her duties. So I took her in.”
”Dismissed?” The elders were shocked.
Cheska showed them what happened in school up to the point where she asked Kyline to tell the elders about Madel's dismissal.
There face grew dark as they all looked at Elder Fumi, Kyline's father.
”Elder Fumi, what is the meaning of this? has your daughter gone insane? Who gave her the authority to decide on business matters” Elder Kwon scolded.
”I want to talk to your master, this servant dares to decide things on herself as well. Youth these days surely have the guts to do as they pleased ” Elder Han calmly asked
Just as Henry received his cue Madel clearly interrupted.
”I don't have a master. I only do things to please my father in heaven.” she answered.
”No master? Then were did you stole the goods that you delivered to us? dont tell me you sold us stolen goods?”
[Cheska was right, he really needed to act as her master in front of those despicable elders] Henry gritted his teeth.
Francis and Helen simply watched the drama and observe the culture in planet Rosetha.
”I am her master and today I say that we never associate with Guhil clan members or step foot in this restaurant ever again.” Henry said while holding Madel's hands tigthly.
”Yes master” Cheska said.
”Yes master” Francis and Helen got the signal and answered in chorus.
”How about you Madel?” Henry asked.
”yes.. yes Henry. I mean yes master.”
Despite their indignation the elders could not push to offend Henry. The Fulinhar family is the richest clan in their country. They will crush anyone just because of a small issue such as this. That is the rule to maintain their power. Compared to the Fulinhar family which was like a mountain with strong foundation, their clan was merely an ant.
After Henry's group left the place, Kyline was called over. She was ordered to kneel the whole night outside on a beads of small pearls.
She was crying and begging for forgiveness but the elders had already given their decision and that was to cut her off from their clan together with her father.
The fruits and vegetables that Madel used to sell them for 1000 Florin stone where now being bought for for a milliin or two. The goods would often be delayed because the hunters may fail to collect all of their ordered supplies. Their clan would soon collapse from the lack of funds and goods.
