"Still, why do you want to emphasize that you want them to be good to others?" Noel asked.
After the mining was over, they immediately headed back to the village. On the way, Noel couldn't help but recall the argument between Roel and Rick.
"That? I basically learned it from my late wife. She was good to others like paying their wages above other merchant groups, treating them like comrades, and so on… That action paid off. Her comrades are loyal and good to her. They don't hesitate to lay down their lives for her, knowing that their families would be fine even if they die here.
"I don't want someone to backstab them, so I ask them to be good to people. And she often did some community service by spending a portion of her income to feed people or do something good. Eventually, the people love her.
"She once escaped an assassination attempt because someone in the slum snitched on them because he thought she was too good to die." Roel explained.
"Have you ever told your children about it?" Noel asked.
"I did, but I couldn't explain the reason because…" Roel let out a long sigh.
"They ran away?"
"Yes, we always got into an argument because the merchant group couldn't expand that way." Roel nodded, feeling troubled as well. "That's certainly the truth, since my wife is not that big of a merchant as well."
"Hmm…" Noel fell silent. His family was also a merchant family, so he could understand why his wife did it. At the same time, the siblings' perspective was also correct since they couldn't grow their business without money if they spent a huge portion in it.
"What's wrong?"
