Burn Me Once, Burn With Me novel Chapter 610

Kemp's uncle spoke with grave sincerity, this time moving to open the door with a steady, deliberate motion.

His original plan had been to yank the door open and immediately call for men to restrain this intruder, but now, his resolve was shaken.

Besides, seeing how cautious this man was, he felt a chill down his spine at the thought of not cooperating. If he did agree, as long as no third party knew, he would remain the manager of this factory, and it wouldn't affect his future.

After careful consideration, he chose what seemed to be the more viable path.

However, in the instant he respectfully opened the door for Victor, he took the opportunity to shoot a fierce glare at his useless nephew.

This whole difficult situation was all because of this little brat who had let the wolf in the door!

The three of them walked quietly along a small path reserved for managers.

It was hidden behind a dense thicket of ornamental bamboo.

Though he was just a minor regional manager in the factory, he oversaw several thousand people, giving him the air of a local king. As a result, his rest area was designed to be particularly serene.

Victor stared intently through the gaps in the small grove, watching the busy workers outside.

When the three of them reached the end of the bamboo path, Kemp's uncle pointed. "They're over there."

Victor's gaze instantly sharpened as he looked in that direction.

Sure enough, where Kemp's uncle was pointing, Domingo and his wife were sitting in a small corner.

The woman was in charge of bagging, while the man handed her the goods. Behind them, a small door stood open, where workers were waiting to transport the items.

Domingo and his wife both had dull, sallow complexions, clearly worn down by their current life.

Now that Kemp's uncle had made up his mind, he became much more attentive.

"The higher-ups instructed that they weren't to be treated as primary laborers, so they were assigned less tedious and strenuous work."

Shouldn't his uncle have had this man restrained immediately? Why did it feel like they had become partners in crime?

Kemp scratched his head, struggling to apply the few idioms he knew to the situation.

Victor turned to leave, but after taking one step, he reached out and grabbed Kemp by the collar again.

Kemp was once again being dragged along like a lamb to the slaughter.

Victor stopped but didn't turn around. "Yes."

Victor finally turned his head slightly, revealing his sharp profile. "I'll remember. You'll get your reward."
