Chapter 64 - The Blac-k Day
"Master, what happened?" Darithi exited the shop soon after Cruxius left, following his trail and arriving beside him.
Ytrisia did the same.
Darithi observed the slight haste in his approach, even though she had thought he was simply going to hire that woman as his personal cook or something.
Indeed, while he was eating the food he had ordered, she had clearly noticed the changes in his expression. Due to the spiciness, he drank water—clearly showing evidence that he could taste the food.
She had been considering approaching that girl to offer her a job in the main palace. However, while exiting, it appeared her master had other intentions beyond merely hiring the girl as a cook.
"Darithi, tell Ermond to shut down our servers and stop all online activity of the subsidiary companies—now!" Cruxius yelled as he entered firmly. Before getting into the car, he removed his jacket and took his seat.
"But Master, the losses would be in millions—"
Swiftly taking out his phone, he made Darithi hesitate for a moment, but seeing his urgency, she nodded and took out her phone too.
She did have some authority, but there were limitations. She could not just order everyone around. The most she could do was talk with the butler and inform him that this was the order from the young master, while leaving all the details up to him.
However, as she saw her master dialing the call directly to the head of the family, it became clear that the situation was serious, prompting her to also work actively.
Cruxius was already dialing. Darithi trailed off, doing the same, seeing the rigid focus in his eyes. Ytrisia, silent and confused, stood behind them, her gaze flicking between the two.
