Chapter 607
"I couldn't, he was too scary . Even after he left, it took me hours to recover . " Vylna said .
At those words, Fallmug slapped her so hard that she was sent slamming against the nearest wall . Her head started to spin due to the slap and the impact .
"Enough of your excuses! With all the money I waste on you, is it too much to ask for a bit of loyalty?" He lifted her by the collar of her shirt and slapped her again . Vylna's cheek turned purple and her lips started to bleed .
"Was he scarier than me?" Another slap followed, making her cry .
"What about now? Are you still scared of him?" Fallmug threw her on the ground before kicking her over and over, until her whining stopped .
"I work my ass to give to all you parasites a good life, and that's how you repay me? With lies and betrayal? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to be a successful businessman with all those foreigners using the Gate to sell their merchandise even during winter?"
Fallmug Sarta hadn't always been the man he was now . Back before the Warp Gate had been opened, he was the young master of a powerful and rich household of merchants .
He had inherited the family business and made it thrive thanks to his charismatic personality and the network of connections that his predecessors had established . With time, his pride turned into arrogance and his self-confidence into conceit .
After the Gate, though, his life had become a daily battle to the death with his competition .
He had never been a very kind man, so being forced to be nice and patient during work always caused a great deal of stress on him . He had managed to hold his rage in until the money flowed into his pockets and the community respected him for it .
Now, though, each victory came at a price . Also, every single time he was defeated despite putting so much effort into the negotiations, despite the many personal sacrifices he endured, his pride was wounded and something inside him became more twisted .
He had started by beating his servants, but only with an occasional slap and only after a really bad day . Then, he had started to do it just to relieve his stress . Seeing them suffer made Fallmug feel better about himself . It made him feel powerful .
He wasn't proud of it, but the business was better for it and he cleared his conscience by giving them gifts every time he closed a good deal .
Yet the more he gave into his darkest impulses, the more things got worse . Soon he started to beat his wife whenever she pestered him with her whining about him being too hard with the house staff or the kids' schooling .
Then it was the turn of those little runts, who disrespected his hard work and never let him have a single moment of peace .
No matter how much he scolded them, they seemed to remain oblivious of the sacrifices he made for them every day . They would always drive him crazy with their squeaky voices and stupid laughs whenever they played .
He couldn't stand them being so happy at his expenses, even less to spend his hard earned money just for being subject to their terrified expression whenever they met . He was their father, yet they treated him like he was a monster .
Now Kamila, that stupid woman, had dared to violate the sanctity of his house twice, defying his orders and will .
"Someone has to pay . " Fallmug said while walking towards the tea room .
He slammed the door open, his voice a low rumble like a thunder announcing a storm .
