Chapter 148: Clear Rewards and Punishments

Ethan sat up from the bed and shook his head to wake himself up.

Because he and Angelina both slept naked, when he sat up, the cold wind blew into the quilt, waking Angelina up.

Angelina rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw Ethan sitting at the head of the bed in a daze.

"Ethan, what's wrong with you?"

"Did I wake you up?"

Ethan asked, got up naked, and added some firewood to the stove.

Then he went back to the bed and hugged Angelina in his arms.

Then he said, "Your sister asked us to go back!"

"Ah..." Angelina opened her eyes wide: "Why do you suddenly want us to go back? Don't you want this territory?"

Ethan smiled: "It seems to be because Duke Stein is dead."

"Duke Stein is dead." Angelina couldn't help but be stunned. After a long while: "He is dead, what does it have to do with us.

Why do you want us to go back?

Ethan, we can't leave, otherwise everything here will be in vain"

Ethan was also having a headache about this.

He didn't mind going back, but after being here for so long and enduring the cold northwest wind, he finally had some improvement. How could he just give up?

Ethan believed that as soon as he left, this place might be destroyed.

However, it seemed that there was nothing to destroy here.

A few broken houses, a broken boat, and no resources, it seemed meaningless to stay here.

The only meaning might be the ownership of this territory.

"Do you need this territory?"

"There is nothing here. If it weren't for me, it would have no possibility of development."

"And there is a mature territory in Maro City, which belongs to me. Now it should be returned to its original owner."

"Of course, this place can't be given up."

"No matter how useless it is, it is also earned by my hard work."

Thinking of this, Ethan's thoughts became clear in an instant.

"Let's go! Angelina, put on your clothes, let's go back!"

"Ah!" Angelina was really dumbfounded: "Ethan, even if you decide to go back, it's not now!"

"It's now."

With that, Ethan got up and dressed first.

Then he went to find Tibers and the others.

Ethan couldn't take them with him for the time being, so he could only tell them some things.

Actually, there was nothing much to tell them. The main thing was to run away when they found danger.

As for where to run, they knew it very well.

For this reason, Ethan planned to leave the little yellow-haired boy here.

After arranging everything, Ethan picked up Angelina and flew into the air with the farewell of everyone...

At noon the next day.

Sophia rushed downstairs in a hurry, and when she saw Ethan and Angelina sitting in the hall, she was full of disbelief.

"My dear brother-in-law, are you Lightning? You just said it last night, but you arrived at noon today. How did you do it?"

Ethan looked tired and forced a smile: "It doesn't matter whether I am Lightning or not, what matters is whether there is lunch?

Your sister and I are starving!"

"Of course, we have food here at any time. Let's go to the restaurant. I'm hungry too."

When they arrived at the restaurant, Sophia didn't talk about business, but stared at Ethan and her sister with a puzzled look.

Although Angelina was very hungry, she chewed slowly to maintain her ladylike demeanor.

And being stared at by her sister, she was a little careless and a little cautious.

She was clearly eating at her own home, but she acted like an outsider.

The atmosphere between the two sisters was awkward for a while.

Ethan didn't care so much. The flight of more than ten hours was a great challenge to his physical strength and perseverance.

He was very hungry now, so since he sat at the table, he used both hands to eat like a wolf as if he hadn't eaten for decades.

He didn't stop until he was eight-tenths full, drank a large glass of water, patted his stomach, and then stopped.

"Wow...ah! Comfortable!"

Only then did Ethan look around and found something wrong.

Do these two sisters have a grudge?

Ethan couldn't help but smile bitterly and picked up some dishes for Angelina: "Do you want to lose weight? Eat this little."

Angelina saw Ethan picking up dishes for her, so she felt relieved and bold to eat.

When Sophia saw that Ethan was full and was about to speak, Ethan immediately stopped her: "No, no! Sophia, if you have anything else, let's go to the study after dinner."

Sophia smiled slightly, nodded, threw down the napkin in her hand, and left first.

After Sophia left, Ethan looked around at the maids around him and found that they were still not leaving.

"It seems" that they have no sense of seeing.

So he shouted loudly: "Get out of here!"

The maids were yelled at by Ethan, and their faces changed immediately. They saluted and retreated as if they were running for their lives.

In a blink of an eye, only Ethan and Angelina were left in the restaurant.

Angelina glanced at Ethan: "They are just maids, and they are still serving us. Is it really okay for you to treat them like this?

I remember that you beat a maid yourself before.

Ethan, this is not what a man should do, nor is it what a lord should do."

Ethan knew that Angelina was right, but for some reason, seeing these sneaky maids, he wanted to stay and listen.

The anger was rising, and it was impossible to suppress it.

Of course, this matter could not be told to Angelina.

Ethan pursed his lips: "I know, I will not interfere in this kind of thing in the future, you will come forward!

However, you may need to understand some things.

It is abnormal that you are so afraid of your sister.

This is also your home. Eating in your own home is like eating with an outsider. It is very bad.

I tell you clearly that these maids look respectful, but their minds are worse than each other.

Your behavior is equivalent to being bullied in their eyes.

I don't want to teach these maids a lesson in person, but you have to take this responsibility.

If you want to be friends with these people and talk to them in a nice voice, thinking that you can tame them, that is the most terrible thing.

As a hostess, you have only one thing to do.

That is to distinguish rewards and punishments.

If they do well, you should praise them and reward them.

If they do something wrong, you should beat them, scold them, and punish them.

If they really go too far, you should kill them.

With me here, you don't need to have any scruples.

Do you remember what I did in the territory?

Tibers and his people did a good job, even if they just picked some herbs and brought them back, I thought he contributed to the territory, so I rewarded him.

If Andreev can't handle the trouble, I will starve him.

Look, they have changed from being listless at the beginning to being full of passion now.

You have been with Lili all the time, so you should know her changes best. "

After hearing this, Angelina's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded hard.

Ethan was a little helpless. He didn't want to say this at first.

But since he came back, the first thing he had to do was to take back his own territory.

In other words, Angelina would have a large group of people to take care of in the future.

Ethan knew that it was not easy for him to intervene in such internal affairs.

But Angelina was so weak when she just came back. If she didn't make it clear, what would she do in the future?
