I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 144: FERN'S DECISION

After resolute refusal, Elos removed Fern's hand from his robe before turning around and leaving this place.

Fern who frantically chased after Elos without hesitation, he should not let go of the opportunity for the Loris Chamber of Commerce to be able to survive "Master Elos, I also have a very beautiful child, she even earned the nickname as the 3 beauties of the Federation of Merchants. Since childhood until large, he has never been close to any man so he is still very clean. In addition, my son is not only beautiful, but he is also very smart, even he has made or floated many businesses for the Loris Chamber of Commerce. If she wasn't a woman, I would have appointed her as the next head of the Loris Chamber of Commerce in my place. Therefore, a beautiful and talented woman like my son is only suitable for a great person like Mr. Elos".

Before coming to see Elos, Fern got information that Elos likes to gather women, as proof that most of the followers around Elos are beautiful women. This makes a lot of misinformation about Elos as Elos is a strange skull that often gathers many beautiful women, it was this reason that gave the idea for Fern to give her son who was dubbed as the 3 most beautiful women of the Federation of Merchants.

Hearing Fern's words, Elos's face became gloomy "As a father, aren't you ashamed to use your son like an object? Moreover, based on your words earlier, your son has helped a lot in progress for the Loris Chamber of Commerce. Don't you feel guilty for treating your son like this?".

Fern smiled bitterly at Elos' words "No matter how great and talented a daughter may be, they will eventually marry another man and become members of another family. So I cannot give them any property or power so that the property or business of the Loris Chamber of Commerce does not go into the hands of other families through marriage".

Elos was a little speechless to Loris' words, rather Elos had heard that women in this world were similar to the position of women at the time when the earth was still a kingdom that women could not be political, she said, war, or various other important positions such as being a trader. This makes many girls unappreciated by their families, even though they are very talented. As proof, very few women could become kings or nobles.

As a man of the modern earth, Elos considers that women should not be treated as Fern did to her child.

"I still refuse! You think I'm Elos lacking women?" said Elos coldly.

Fern was immediately frightened, he bowed his body again thinking that Elos was angry "Master Elos, I have absolutely no such intention! I was too panicked because this was about the future of the Loris Chamber of Commerce and my entire family, so this made me say something disrespectful to Mr. Elos, I was prepared to accept any punishment!".

"Go back, you're not my follower so I don't have to punish you! We will meet again on the battlefield, prepare yourselves!", said Elos.

"Mr Elos, give the Loris Chamber of Commerce a chance to live! As long as Mr. Elos lets us live, we will do whatever conditions!", Fern replied without hesitation, knowing that if it continues like this then Elos will definitely kill them all. Therefore, in order to survive then only Elos could determine the conditions for the Loris Chamber of Commerce.

Elos who kept walking away from earlier finally stopped, actually Elos from being rude like this because waiting for Fern's words that let Elos determine the conditions, actually, this way, Elos can benefit the most.

"The whole Loris Chamber of Commerce! From today the Loris Chamber of Commerce will be my full follower, all control is in my hands whether it determines the leader of the Loris Chamber of Commerce or your finances" Elos said "As long as you remain loyal to me then the Loris Chamber of Commerce can continue to exist, even having the chance to become greater in the future. But as long as there is a trace of treason from the Loris Chamber of Commerce, I will destroy all of you".

Fern did not immediately refuse or agree to Elos' terms, but he again asked "After being loyal to the master, what should our Loris Chamber of Commerce do? How do we use money from our business profits? Do we have to give everything to you?".

Elos again answered Fern's question "When I take all your money, then how do you buy food and clothes to live? 50% of Loris Chamber of Commerce's profit annually will be mine, the other 20% will be your tax for my kingdom, 15% will be the capital for future business development, while 15% others become yours to buy the necessities of life! In addition, all the businesses and shops you have in the world will be transferred from your hands to mine, all this is done so that you can prevent if you plan to sell all your shops and businesses and run away. Hows it? If you feel that my terms are too heavy then you can refuse them, we'll meet again on the battlefield".

Fern thought for a moment, don't think 15% of the profit from the Loris Chamber of Commerce each year is small, 15% it was more than enough for all members of the Loris Family to survive and buy food and clothing for daily needs. As the 10 large chambers of commerce in the Federation of Merchants which is the largest business area in the world, 15% of the annual profits of the Loris Chamber of Commerce could amount to thousands of gold coins which was already more than enough for them.

Fern knelt on the ground without hesitation, then he said again "But my master, although I am the leader of the Loris Chamber of Commerce but that does not mean everyone will follow what I say. I'm going back to Lorin's capital and trying to convince them, but I'm not sure if they're-".

"I don't care" said Elos firmly "Wrath, you follow Fern back to the Capital Loris. If anyone opposes or tries to kill Fern then feel free to kill him, I give you permission. Fern, do you mind?".

"Okay, sir!", replied Wrath.

"Master, I don't mind" Fern said nodding.

Before leaving, Fern stared at Fudin behind him "What are you doing? Kneel in front of Mr. Elos, unless you're ready to die!".

Fudin regained his senses, though he refused to be loyal to Elos but he still knelt on the ground without hesitation.

"Sir, I give my loyalty" said Fudin.

Elos nodded lightly, after which Fern, Fudin and Wrath returned to the Capital of Loris again to reassure all members of the Loris Chamber of Commerce.

Elos looked at Fudin who was leaving coldly and then spoke to Pride beside him "Pride, follow Fudin and look for a chance to kill him. Don't let anyone know that you killed him, if you can make him die as if he had an illness or something".

Pride immediately smiled viciously upon hearing the task that Elos had given "I understand my master!".

After that, Pride left without leaving any trace.

The face of Elos looks very cold, Elos is no longer a fool who just came from the earth.

Therefore, Elos could judge that Fudin was not really loyal to Elos.

Elos was not interested in letting the disloyal stay alive in his reign, especially Fudin had the possibility of rebellion or assassination to take Elos' position, so Elos did not hesitate and decided to kill him now.
