Son Of The Mafia Family

05 - New master in the house

Sweat dripped from his temples. The cold air didn't bother him much. Randoff, who had just entered the room, gazed at Leon calmly.

"Are you awake, Sir?"

Leon, who just finished his morning run is currently squatting while sipping  some water, glanced towards the door.

"You should call me when you want to go out."

Leon look at him

"Do I need permission to leave?"

Randoff shook his head. "No. You don't, Sir"

He had been in this place for two days. For the past two days, Randoff hadn't had the chance to take him around because he was busy dealing with the mess I caused in the old building.

So far, there was no news of missing persons or discovered corpses.

Thinking about that night made me shudder; it felt like I wasn't myself. But let bygones be bygones.

As Randoff said, he would take care of everything. And I knew he could do it.

"Randoff, what about my father?"

Randoff looked at his young master and answered.

"Mr. Yan is still working. He won't come home until his work finished. But, don't worry, all the tasks you need to do have been given to me ordered by master. So you don't have to wait for Mr. Yan to contact you first."

Busy work? It sounded like my father didn't want to chat with his only son. But that's okay. In fact, I'm grateful for this.

"Sir Leon," Randoff continued, "The servants have gathered in the hall."

Leon took a deep breath.

"It's time, huh."

Leon then walked, following Randoff who showed him the way.

There was a discomfort I felt at the moment.

As the door opened, the whispers I had been hearing became silent.

I looked at dozens of heads staring upward, staring at Randoff. More precisely, staring right at me as if waiting for this moment.

Randoff then stepped back, whispering to me to greet the house staff who had been waiting curiously about the new master they would serve.

Leon cleared his throat twice and then opened his mouth.

"... I'm curious, what is your assessment of the new master standing in front of all of you right now."

Standing tall, Leon stared at everyone gathered in the hall.

"Maybe you feel annoyed because your work has been delayed just because of an introduction like this. But getting to know the new master and new people is something you need to do. So hold your emotions."

Leon's gaze made one of the servants bow down, along with his tightly closed mouth. Maybe he didn't expect that Leon could hear the whispers they uttered from up here.

"I am the only son of your master who has not returned for quite a while. My name is Leon Mysandra Drago.

You must be curious why someone like me, who never goes out, is showing himself now. But one thing is certain; I intend to uphold the honor of the great Mr. Yan."

Leon was a bit reluctant to say this, but he needed to pretend to respect his father for now.

Moreover, these people are the ones working for his father.

From the workers themselves, there must be some who greatly respect his father.

"And you, who work under Mr. Yan, whether you like it or not, need to acknowledge me as the new master, as the only young master in this place."

Leon took a deep breath and glanced at Randoff.

This is a brief introduction. But he indeed does not intend to do this for too long.

Because it's tiring and pointless.

"Please go back to your work, that's all I want to say."

Leon's legs moved backward; he then exited through the door opened by Randoff for him.

Leon had no intention of being too friendly to the people here, especially since he planned to leave when his duties were done.

Above all, he didn't want to deal with the mafia.

Staying with them only made Leon uncomfortable.

"Good job, Sir. After this, I will introduce you to a teacher."

"Aren't you going to teach me?"

"Of course, I will try to help you, Sir. However, it's better to use someone who is smarter and more professional in teaching."

Leon thought it was right. The man then returned to his room before Randoff re-entered to tell him about the new teacher who would teach him for some time to come.

Leon observed a middle-aged man who looked elegant in the clothes he wore. Along with glasses that fit perfectly on his face and an expression that seemed elegant when looking at Leon.

The man immediately put down his notes and approached Leon to greet him at the door.

"Good afternoon. Sir must already know that I will teach you some basic etiquette. But I am quite sure that Sir Leon has at least mastered these sciences. Anyway, you are a young man, the only heir of the respected Mr. Yan."

That's true, but Leon had no intention of continuing his father's business and power.

"You're mistaken, Sir Gera."

Leon then smiled lightly. 'Although I am the son of Yan Dragon, I have never once attended a party. Nor some basic of table manner.``

Gera then observed Leon; his mouth moved to smile, but that smile looked a bit strange in Leon's eyes. "Yes, I can see that."

Leon examined that expression again. But Gera had already turned around quickly.

"So, Sir Leon... how about today we learn about the basics first?"

Leon then sat down, watching what would be learned. Learning has always been easy for him, and he quite liked it because of that, so he immediately sat down and wanted to listen to what Gera would teach him today.

With his index finger, Gera adjusted his glasses' position and raised them back onto his nose.

"Since this is the first time Sir Leon has come here, I think Sir Leon needs to read this book first. It will greatly help you."

Leon accepted the book; there were several brightly colored ones with colorful covers. Not only that, there were a few cute basic drawings.

Almost on every page.

'I've also heard that Sir Leon is a smart student on campus, right? Things like this should be easy for you to learn without needing me to explain.'

Again, Leon quickly found a book that contained only writing. Indeed, this book looked difficult to read because there were some terms he didn't quite understand, but that was okay for him.

"... is this book too difficult?"

Leon shook his head. "No, I will read it. But this one..."

Leon pointed to the first book he got from Gera. The basic etiquette book he got looked like for kids.

"What wrong?"

"I especially made that book for you, sir Leon. The color is beautiful, its just perfect to start a day with this kind of book. Even if you are an adult, coloring book doesn't matter as long as you can read it."

Gera smiled. "As I said before. Since Sir Leon is still new here, it's better to look at the first book. I don't know which one is suitable for Sir, but... this book is always used as a reference for elite children. I am sure, with your intelligence, in just one day, you will understand and practice the contents of this book, so Sir Leon will not avoid embarrassing himself."

Gera then took one of the books and showed it to Leon. "Like right now, the way you sit is wrong, it looks less dignified. However, in this book, it explains how to look dignified even for children."

Gera flashed his smile.

"I know you can do it." He patted Leon's shoulder a few times before pulling

him and sitting back in front of Leon.

While taking a tissue from the handkerchief in his shirt pocket. "Well, let's start the lesson."

Gera cleaned both of his hands quite carefully, and threw the tissue into the trash can.

Like he just touched something disgusting.

Leon just stayed silent and continued to read those books. Leon lay down on the bed. Randoff, who faithfully stayed with him in times like this, provided a plate of snacks after dinner.

He looked so careful in pouring tea into his glass.

"How was your class?"

"Well... there are many terms I don't understand."

"That's normal. Besides, you haven't returned here for several years. It must be quite difficult to understand how to communicate with businessmen and elite people."

"Don't worry too much, Sir."

No, of course.

Right now, Leon just wants to finish this class quickly. The sooner I master it, the sooner I will dive into the field.
