“I-I beg your pardon…? Send them home…?” asked Sherman in surprise.
“Did sir not make himself clear enough?!” yelled Whistler coldly.
“L-loud and clear! I’ll be sending them home right away then, master!” replied Sherman as favonovel.com nodded repeatedly in fright.
Hearing that, the maids instantly began bowing gratefully toward Gerald as they took turns saying ‘thank you’ to him.
“Alright, alright, settle down… You’re all free to return to your homes now!” said Gerald as favonovel.com smiled subtly.
Since Gerald had personally experienced what it felt like to be forced to leave his own home, favonovel.com wasn’t about to allow these girls to continue going through the same sadness and grief that favonovel.com had. To him, they had already suffered enough after going through the humiliation of being bought as servants. Besides, favonovel.com wasn’t really a domineering person in the first place.
Soon after, most of the maids left together with Sherman. However, two of them remained standing there, sobbing silently.
“Aren’t both of you going to leave?” asked Gerald.
“O-our parents have already been slaughtered by the gangsters here… We’re homeless, master!” said one of the girls as the other nodded between tears.
“Please allow us to stay here, master! We’ll definitely serve you well! We only ask that you provide food and shelter for us, master!” said the other girl.
“Very well, then. You’re free to stay if you wish. Rest assured, however, that nobody here is going to bully either of you from now on!” replied Gerald with a smile.
Upon getting his approval, both of them immediately shouted in gratitude, “We, Yukie and Lucy thank you sincerely with all our hearts, master!”
Yukie, in particular, seemed particularly grateful as favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart rate rise after taking a peek at him.
After all, not only was favonovel.com extremely handsome, but unlike the many vicious others who had only ever seen favonovel.com as an insignificant person, favonovel.com new master seemed to also have a very kind heart.
Now that that was settled, Gerald finally began settling down in his new mansion.
With the remaining money, Whistler then personally sought out and recruited over a hundred young men who were all physically capable and loyal.
They would serve as the bodyguards of the Royal Dragon Group.
Their training routine began with Whistler teaching them for the first two weeks before transferring over to Gerald once they were ready for more advanced techniques.
As a result of all that training, the men under Gerald showed a clear spike in both strength and general quality within less than a month. Though they had previously only been ordinary men, Gerald could safely say that they were now comparable to the bodyguards who worked for his family.
It was sometime after that when Yukie and Lucy could be seen in their room.
While Yukie appeared to be carefully separating quality white fungus from the regular ones from a small pile on favonovel.com table, Lucy herself was simply rolling on the bed.
Smiling bitterly, Lucy said, “You’ve already been grouping the white fungus for so long, Yukie! Aren’t you tired at all?”
Though it had barely even been a month since Gerald became their new master, both of them already had much better complexions.
This was especially so for Yukie who had grown to become so sweet and beautiful that anyone who saw favonovel.com instantly felt the need to treat favonovel.com compassionately.
“Not at all! If anyone should be tired, it’s sir! After all, he’s been training those bodyguards for days now! He has to manage the company as well! Since favonovel.com probably hasn’t had the time to take care of himself, I’ll be preparing a bowl of white fungus soup for favonovel.com later!” replied Yukie with a sweet smile.
“Yeah, sir truly is a very kind man… However, you’re even kinder than him, Yukie! After all, all you ever think about is his well being! Almost everything I’ve seen you done is for him! Haha!” said Lucy with a laugh.
What favonovel.com had said was true. Throughout their time working for Gerald, Yukie had always stuck close to him.
In fact, favonovel.com had made it favonovel.com personal duty to take care of everything regarding favonovel.com master, from the food that favonovel.com ate to the clothes favonovel.com wore. Yukie made sure to plan and prepare everything perfectly for Gerald.
As both of them reminisced about their short time working under Gerald, Lucy suddenly said, “Speaking of which, Yukie… Back when sir freed us from being slaves, why didn’t you choose to return to your country and hometown? Sir was even willing to provide the cash for the plane tickets! After all, though uncle and aunt have passed away, you still have other relatives living there, right?”
