Chapter 115: You’re Being Much Too Polite!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Accompanied by Zorn’s thunderous snoring, Lorne and Kyle leisurely ate. The two of them did not compete in alcohol tolerance. Instead, they chatted as they ate.
After they each ate a few mouthfuls of food, Lorne gestured with his chin at Zorn, who was lying on the ground.
“Hey, could it be that this friend of yours really worked under General Zorn?”
This was the background that Zorn had fabricated. Of course, Kyle could only continue to make up this story. Therefore, he nodded and explained, “This guy was originally a soldier in the army. Indeed, he did go to the front line.
“Anyway, according to him, he was a vanguard under General Zorn.
“I mean, look at this big and burly guy. Plus, he also has a rather outgoing personality. He is somewhat similar to the so-called legendary Zorn.
“That’s why this guy always talks about General Zorn as if he idolizes him.”
Lorne nodded in understanding
It seemed that the guy lying on the ground was a fanatic of Zorn. No wonder he could drink so much alcohol with just a few words of nonsense.
Lorne could not help but feel a little smug. He snorted and laughed.
“I can finally see it. This Qiang probably wants to learn from Zorn and walk the path of a hooligan.
“Seems that he didn’t learn well enough and fell for my tricks.
“Even the serious Zorn won’t be able to best me when he comes to my tavern!”
When Kyle heard Lorne’s evaluation of Zorn, he felt like laughing, but he could only do so and not say anything else.
‘What he said was right. Look at him on the ground. He didn’t even last that long and immediately fell.
‘When I go back, I have to publicize it and show the painting that Lorne drew to the others.’
This way, he could kill the arrogance of the Demon King and see if this guy would want to find a hole to hide in after he sobered up.
Kyle’s mood immediately brightened from this. He was already thinking about how to use this matter to taunt and attack Zorn.
However, after joking for a while, Kyle still cupped his hands to look at Lorne.
“Lorne, speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something.
“After that kid from my family ran home last time, he kept praising you in front of me, saying that you are a good teacher and taught him earnestly.
“You even taught him all kinds of great principles and explained countless ways to conduct his life. In short, I have never seen that kid admire anyone so much in his entire life.”
Lorne immediately began to nod in satisfaction. He deliberately straightened his back and put on a slightly humble expression.
“Olf friend, you’re treating me like an outsider. With our relationship as brothers, wouldn’t I do my best to teach that kid of yours?
“Besides, I’m a teacher. Naturally, I have to do my duty and try my best to lead him on the right path in life.
“Otherwise, when he takes over your business in the future, if I fail to carry it forward, wouldn’t that be tarnishing my reputation?”
In fact, Lorne was secretly muttering to himself. It seemed that Weiss was quite honest and clever, and he did not tell Kyle that Lorne had taken him to a brothel.
Otherwise, if Kyle knew, he would have torn Lorne apart today.
This was for the best. There would be more opportunities next time to teach Weiss other strange things.
When Kyle heard Lorne say this, he was still full of gratitude.
“No matter what, you’ve helped me a lot. That kid’s future has always been what I’m most worried about.
“It seems that I made a very wise decision for you to take him in.”
Lorne crossed his legs and waved his hand.
“We’re brothers now…
“If you really want to thank me, then let’s not talk about a fifty-fifty split for our salt refining business. You can just cut ten percent off for me, and we’ll split it forty sixty. That way, you’ll be able to show your gratitude, right?”
“Huh?”
Kyle suddenly had a look of realization. He was a little dumbfounded, but at the same time, really impressed by the show.
Why did he suddenly bring this up?!
No matter the reason, it was very in line with Lorne’s style.
Kyle opened his mouth, but suddenly did not know what to say. He could only shut his mouth and cover his face. After a long while, Kyle coughed a few times, completely covering up his embarrassment.
“Lorne!
“You taught my eldest son diligently, so I’ll naturally remember this favor. It’s just a forty sixty split. It’s not even worth mentioning.
“But...
“Our business of refining refined salt has only just touched the threshold. We haven’t even officially refined the salt that can be sold.”
As Kyle said this, Lorne hurriedly waved his hand.
“Alright, alright, I’m just joking with you. Do I look like someone who is so eager for quick success and instant benefits? Do you even take me seriously?
“The matter of being your son’s teacher is completely out of respect for you as a brother. I’m just doing my best to teach him well.
“Besides, didn’t you already give him a gift to acknowledge me as his teacher earlier?”
Kyle finally heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart also felt a lot better.
As expected, this was the Lorne that he was familiar with. He liked to joke around, but when it came to serious matters, his performance was always impeccable.
