Volume 4: Chapter 43: It’s Mandatory For All Of Us

A few minutes before going to the bakery, Keith strolled around the city. But he stopped in front of a particular shop. This is where the merchant group is. 

White Owl Merchant Group. This would be the first time coming here in a few years. May and Colyer had to focus on the other stores in the northern region. His job was to manage the store here. 

Keith entered the building. The first person to greet him was a bunny woman. 

"Hello, what can I do for you?" 

"Can you tell your Director Keith is here to see you?"

"Ahh?! The big boss!" The beastwoman exclaimed. 

Keith scratched his head when he heard that. He didn't have a chance to tell her as she dashed away to get the director. It didn't take a second before a human came down. 

"Big Boss! It's great to meet you!" The person bowed his head.

"There's no need to bow. And who are you?" Keith scratched his head. With how many stores opened, he couldn't meet up with some. Especially so with those that were far away. 

"Ahh, my name is Ian, Big Boss!" Ian smiled as he introduced himself. 

"My name is Keith Freed."

"Big Boss is incredible."

"Please, you don't need to call me that." Keith chuckled. But on the inside, he was cursing himself.

"It's mandatory for all of us! The boss had written in the rules; we must always call you big boss!" Ian stated with a confident smile. 

That caused Keith's expression to turn even darker! Coyler! You're asking for a fight! Keith wanted to punch that man right at this moment!

"What do you need, Big Boss?"

"I need some butter and other spices." Keith handed a list to him. With how many times he cooked, his supply was gone. Ian looked at the list and nodded, 

"Please get everything on the list." He handed it to the bunny beastwoman.

"Understood." The beastwoman quickly dashed off to get them. While that happened, Keith smiled.

"You hired a beastwoman?"

"Mmhmm!" Ian nodded, "There's no need to discriminate if the person is right for the job."

"That's great." Keith smiled. That was what Keith wanted. There was no need to discriminate against people because of their race. If the person had a great mentality and work ethic, they would be hired. 

"Also, I need to get the earnings for this month." Ian nodded and handed the papers over to Keith. But then Ian commented,

"I apologize if my earnings are low, Big Boss."

"Hmm?"

"Even though we have a shop in this city, it's difficult because there's a lot of prejudice between each race." Even though he didn't do it, that didn't mean the others had the same mindset.

"It's fine. I can tell you're working hard." Even if it was lower, it didn't go into the red. 

"Keep doing what you're doing."

"Thank you."

"Also, I'm going to head to the bakery." That was the next place Keith was going to head to.  

After getting all of his ingredients, Keith headed to the White Forest Bakery. 

Hmm? What's going on?

Keith was curious as he entered the bakery. He noticed there was something off with the store.

...

Alfia and Faelyn stared at Keith. Their wariness was through the roof! This person was up to no good! If his employees were like this, it showed something was wrong with the one at the top. 

Alfia's impression of Keith went down like that. He frowned, "What's the matter?"  

He could hear some shouting. The clerk smiled, "Nothing, Good Sir. Have you come to buy our bread?"

"..." Alfia and Faelyn frowned. Good Sir? Isn't he supposed to be your boss?"

"Tell me what happened here?" A stern expression formed on Keith's face as he turned to Alfia and Faelyn.

The clerk quickly explained, "These elves were here to cause trouble. Please pay them no mind."

"Hey!" Faelyn growled. This person was twisting the situation to use against them! She was trying to cause trouble. 

"Tell me what happened," Contrary to what she thought, Keith turned to Alfia instead. He wanted to hear her side of the story.
