Chapitre 679: Separation, Dear Friend-III

Words were thrown on Hallow's left and right side, making it difficult for him to know who was speaking to who but his attention was drawn to the younger boy who was scolded.

"There will be no wage for you now," said the elder man who was miffed by the fact how the boy had came late.

The boy was staggered at this, "But how could that be?! Sir, please understand that I had only came late for less than ten minutes. Please, I need the money."

"No is a no, young man. You came late and I don't approve that! Go and clean the ship and I might consider to give you half of your wage," answered the man to the younger boy who was shocked and baffled by this.

The boy clenched his hands, bending his head down so he wouldn't meet the man's eyes and it wasn't because he was scared but he didn't want to glare directly at the man which could only lead to angering him further more and causing him to get beaten up black and blue yet again.
