40 A Fight to The End

Just what exactly were Head Butlers?

They were authority figures who managed all matters in a clan. To most clansmen, whose paths would never cross with the patriarch, Head Butlers were their God; they controlled their fate.

If they commanded you to go left, no one would dare turn right.

Head Butlers could place you on top of the world and let you enjoy the clan's preferential treatment, but they could also throw you down to pit's bottom and work in the clan's sweatshop factories without redemption for your entire life.

Feng Lang was stunned by Feng Lin's audacity to defy the Head Butler.

This rascal seriously didn't know the gravity of this; he had practically given up on improving his situation.

To think that he dared to offend even the Head Butler. Suddenly, Feng Lang didn't think much about the lad's tousle with him from before; that was nothing compared to this.

He must say, this lowly boy was truly a man!
