Chapter 257

"That's more than fine..." The fiery redhead who trained me last week said. "I'm down..." A giant had stated. The meeting came to an end, everyone leaving. "Mardee... I need to talk to you." Devari sighed. Mardee looked at his boss, unsure what this was about. "Okay boss..." Mardee responded. Devar looked at the man with that infamous penetrating glare. "Is there something you've been hiding from me?" Devari asked. Mardee's eyes widened with shock. "What do you mean?" Mardee responded, assessing how he should respond. "I've learned your house burned down..." Devari said. "I...I... it did... why is it important?" Mardee said back, getting defensive. His arms folded across his chest. "Because you took a loan out from the bank to cover your damages... That's why it's important!" Devari said, both giving intense glares. "I had no other choice! My house was burned down and my family displaced! I'm having to make due with what I can considering how you pay me!" Mardee said, obviously upset.
