Chapter 48: Problems

We did a little walk along the cemented road through the miniature forest and decided to go back after a few minutes.

As we arrived, we found Leo standing at the back of the mansion while waiting for us.

He waved his hand. "Boss!"

I approached him. "Is there a problem, Leo?"

His face instantly frowned. "A little bit."

Your face is telling me it's not just a little bit!

"What is it?"

"Do you remember the cafeteria we are currently building near the entrance of the town?"

Yep, say no more.

I exhaled and put my hands on my waists. "Let me see the problem."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Tanya said while standing beside me.

"Don't worry about it, that building is not even part of your vicinity, let me just handle it real quick." I walked inside the mansion and the 2 followed me.

As I walked in, 2 of the maids currently cleaning in the hallway bowed their heads on me. "Greetings, Lord Casimir."

"Thanks. By the way, have you seen Misha?"

The one with fox ears and orange hair walked towards me. "Yes, she's in the kitchen. These past few weeks, she's been showing great interest in cooking."

I wonder why.

"I see." I walked towards the kitchen and found her there with four of the maids currently teaching her to cook while wearing a cute pink apron with a kitten drawn in it.

She looked like she's enjoying what she's doing so I decided to not disturb her and walked towards the entrance of the mansion with Leo.

We rode in one of the carriages to easily reach our destination and what greeted me upon walking down from the carriage was the ruined establishment that still has smoke coming out from its burned parts. Gathered in front of the ruins was an abundance of people, most of them were holding some buckets while looking at me with concern in their eyes.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

I shook my head. "To say the least, you all did a good job, but next time, try capturing them alive, killing them as a first resort isn't always the best retribution to give to the offenders."

"I see, torturing them until they beg for their own death is the most ideal punishment for those bastards."

Who the fuck said that?

All at once, all the people around us nodded while grunting as a sign of agreement to whoever said that cruel suggestion.

Oy! Who the hell said that? Show yourself! Let's talk!

Leo tapped my shoulder while nodding. "You are right, boss."

I wasn't the one who said it!

The hell is wrong with you people?

All I could do was stare at them with disbelief in my eyes.

Because I genuinely couldn't believe what was happening to the people of this faction. The last time I checked, they were not this united. Unity is good all in all. However, the thing that they're agreeing on was quite a bit questionable.

Who taught you all to think like a bunch of ruthless freaks?

"Anyway, we can no longer do something about this, at least, we have learned something from this incident. Let's just rebuild it. Accordingly, I'm going to talk to Leal to tighten the security on the edges of the town. An entrance guard or 2 would be a good idea. Unfortunately, I was so busy that it's already too late before I realized how badly we needed it."

"Yes, boss." He shifted his gaze towards the people gathered around us and raised his hand. "You heard that? Get back to work!"

The people surrounding us screamed in synchronization and started to work on the now ruined restaurant.

"And, Leo."

"Yes?"

I raised my index finger and stared at him. "Please, no more unnecessary killings."

He smiled and slowly nodded. "I understand."

Uhm, why is something telling me that he doesn't actually understand what I was really trying to say?
