My words couldn't help but make Mr. Clive laugh. He clearly thought I was ridiculous for not even knowing how deep to dig while still daring to act like some kind of master.
Alec Williams's face also showed obvious displeasure. I could tell he'd seen plenty of privileged young masters who relied on their connections to act recklessly, giving themselves all kinds of grand titles. And worse, everyone around them had to play along with their act.
In Williams's eyes, I was just another one of those characters. It was clear he'd never been a fan of arrogant young masters like me.
But since he currently needed my help, Williams could only wave his hand and say, "Let things go according to Mr. Raymond's wishes."
Several workers took up their shovels and began to dig where I'd indicated.
One foot, two feet, three feet...
