Brothel Manager : Unexpected Encounter with A Hidden Family Heirloom

Chapter 18: : Birthday Gift

Richard did not stop his tantrum even after receiving a slap. Before he cursed another word, the old man gave another big slap to his face. The loud slapping sounds reverberated throughout the dining hall. Several servants immediately rushed inside the dining hall to see what was happening.

"Get out… Who asked you to come inside?... out… everybody… get out." The old man shouted at the servants to leave the room. The servants left in a flash. They never saw the old man get this much angry. They are wondering what happened inside the dining hall. But no one tried to eavesdrop... because of the fear of the old man.

Richard covered his cheeks and sat back down in his seat. On his cheeks, red-coloured finger marks appeared on either side.

"Grandpa!!!... Don't tell me that you are accepting his suggestion. I won't marry a widow... I'm already in love with Rubi and her Patel family is also a rich family like ours. Richard said it with a teary eyes.

Das was seriously trying to control his laughter. The young master, who had acted cocky until now, was acting like a cry baby now. Das can feel Richard's emotions through his aggrieved tone. But he did not pity the headstrong Richard.

"Bastard, do you know how much me and your father have sacrificed for this family?"... If I have to kill you for the survival of this family, I will do it with my own fu*** hands."

"Michel, tomorrow I will personally meet the chief minister with your son's marriage proposal. Ask your son to prepare for it." The old man said it in an authoritative tone. Richard got really frightened by the angry tone of his grandfather.

Das also felt a cold shiver behind his back. Not because of the old man's yelling. The old man who always sat calmly was the most cunning and ruthless person. Even though it is related to his grandson's marriage, he did not take a long time to decide on it and With a single sentence from Das, the old man exactly pointed out the usefulness of Das and secretly set up this meeting without alerting any outsiders. He is definitely the mastermind behind this family's success. Das thought internally.

"Richard, what your grandfather said is the final decision in this house. With this marriage, you will also gain the status of the chief minister's son-in-law." The patriarch gave the final verdict.

"But, father… What about Ruby... I loved her sincerely." Richard uttered slowly from his swollen cheeks.

"Forget her... the Patel family won't be a big supporter for us." The patriarch put a full stop to Richard's love story with that single sentence.

With a disappointed face, Richard turned his head towards Das, who was also staring at him with a smiling face.

"You… mo*#***##**…." Richard madly cured Das in his own shattered imagination. After settling this matter, the old man turned his focus towards Das.

"Young man, I don't know why you joined the profession of a brothel manager… but you have great potential in you. Even though I personally set this meeting… initially I don't have any high expectation… but you really surprised with your wit."

"As a repayment, please accept this gift for my satisfaction." The old man passed a key card towards Das.

"Sir, I don't need any repayment. What I suggested is just a personal opinion of mine, and I did not expect anything in return." Das replied in a humble tone.

'Das... you won't reject it if you know the true value of this key card. The key card was actually prepared for my daughter Luna as a birthday present. More than that, it was ...----, the patriarch was stopped explaining about the key card by the old man's gesture.

"Das, I'm not giving this gift as a repayment for your suggestions. In the future, I want you to be one of my family's loyal supporters. Receiving this gift means you are accepting it." The old man said this while still holding the gift card in front of Das.

"What a devious scheme!... This old geezer is more cunning than a sly fox. If I reject his gift card, the old man will definitely kill me to save future trouble." Das thought internally. Without any delay Das immediately accepted the gift card to avoid the old man's trap.

"Father, now tell me... What is that key card?... I'm really curious to know about it." Luna cried excitedly. Previously, Patriarch mentioned that the key card was a gift actually prepared for Luna's birthday. That is why she was so excited to know about it.

"The key card was actually a key to a luxurious villa in the Filmy Town area. The villa was built according to your requirements and tastes. The villa also has an artificial forest around it." The patriarch explained the mystery of the key card to his daughter.

"Father, how can you prepare a gift of a small villa for my birthday?... Don't you know that I don't have any interest in owning a house?" Lady Luna said with a pout.

"Haha, little girl, you are not listening to the main part. the key card has more uses than a single villa. With that key card, one can gain a large discount on all popular brands in this city. There is also a personal, customised car that can only be accessed through that card. Your grand father personally met several people to prepare this card for your birth day. The villa is just a bonus." Michel explained the true benefits of the key card with a proud face.

"Father, how can you donate this valuable gift to him?... He doesn't deserve it." Richard yelled loudly.

"Shut up… Why are yelling? Even your sister does not say anything against it. What right do you have? I'm the one who prepared this card, and I can give it to anyone." The old man said it in a serious tone. Richard was kept silent by that single sentence.

"Young man, with that key card, you can also buy anything from my family's stores. You don't need to pay a single rupee." The old man said it with a smiling face.

Das already went into a daze after listening about Villa in the Film Town area. With the mention of each benefit from that key card... His grip increased slowly around the key card.

Das did not understand why the old man valued him highly and gave him this generous reward. But he decided to take big advantage of this situation. He is going to rip off benefits from the key card.

As the clock ticked towards midnight—twelve o'clock... the old man asked Luna to accompany Das to the entrance. After saying a proper good-bye to the old man and the patriarch, Das took his leave from the main building. Luna fallowed him to the outside entrance.

"Father, you shouldn't have given that card to him... It really cost us a lot of money to prepare that." The patriarch immediately spoke after Das left the dining hall.

"Michel, you are not seeing the whole picture here. The young man was a valuable treasure box, but that brothel house is using him to store coins. One day you will understand my judgement of him." The old man said meaningfully and left the dining hall. The patriarch and his son Richard sat there dazedly, thinking about the old man's decision.

Outside, Luna and Das were walking side by side. Before this, Das used to follow behind her.

"Miss, if you want, I will return this card back..." Das asked for her opinion.

"You don't need to... My grandfather is the one who loved me the most in this house. He will definitely prepare a better gift for me." Luna spoke with a straight face.

"Then why are you upset?... I can see your disappointed face." Das asked while staring at her face.

"You still have the nerve to ask me that. Because of you, my brother has to sacrifice his love; he is going to marry a widow for the sake of the family." Luna replied angrily.

"Haha... What a naive girl!... Das started laughing loudly.

"Hey, why are you laughing? ... am I looking funny to you?" Luna asked annoyingly.

"Miss, you are really a nave girl. Instead of worrying about you, you are stressing over your brother." Das said in a pitiful tone.

"What are you talking about?..." Luna asked with a confused expression.

"Miss, in the future, you will also face the same situation as your brother... Because your marriage is also linked to the family's prestige. Your grandfather is the most ruthless person I have seen in my life. He will do anything for the development of the family... So, my dear madam, worry about your problems first." Das explained it to her like he was spoon-feeding her.

"Hey... stop talking nonsense. My grandfather don't do that to me."
