Chapter 438 I Won’t Become His
A branch, a basin of sand, a miracle.

After Mr. Huo's earnest instruction, the apprentice Kalama, whose butt was swollen and red, finally learned how to make glass the next day. Even though the bottle he blew was horrible, at least he succeeded.

Picking up a piece of bread, Karama, who was leaning against Hogg, was very happy. Although the bread was dry and hard, it was bought with her own salary.

Feeling the light sweetness of starch melting in his mouth, Karama pointed at the green bottle on the table and said proudly:

"Hogue, did you see that? Each of these bottles was sold at a high price of three ores. We won't have to worry about money anymore."

The excited Karama didn't notice that as she boasted, Hogg frowned and soon she was spanked again:
"Shut up. You can call this a glass bottle? You used more than three ores of coal. I hired someone to mine it at a high price. Do you know how to calculate the cost?"

After training the apprentice, Hogg did not forget to give him a sweet treat. He took out a dinar and threw it over, tempting him:

"Here, this is your dividend this time. Don't think it's too little. You just put in a little effort, and the bulk of it is with me. Even if all 20 bottles are sold, I won't make much! Spend it."

Karama was very happy to get a silver coin. Even though she knew that Hogg was slandering her, it was better to have something than nothing. She was already satisfied to have a place to stay.

Rubbing the dinar, Karama felt extremely comfortable with the wonderful feeling of money, but she was afraid that this hard-earned money would be lost to her. After thinking for a while, she came up with a compromise.

"Hogg, can you save it for me? I'm afraid I'll throw it away."

Even though a silver coin was not a lot of money, Hogg, who was greedy by nature, would not miss any opportunity. Upon hearing about such a good thing, he quickly turned around and collected the silver coin with the bell:
"Don't worry, dear child. I will keep the money for you first and return it to you when you grow up. I promise not to let you suffer any loss. Otherwise, I will save all your future dividends for you!"

Looking at the dog with a wretched face, Karama's rationality told her not to agree, but her emotional side made her nod involuntarily.
“Okay, but you can’t let me go hungry anymore.”

Apart from anything else, Hogg is always approachable no matter where he is. These easy-to-raise cattle and horses are no problem at all. They are just a meal, and he can afford to raise them.

“Tsk! No matter what time or what place, as long as I, Hogg, am not starving to death, you will have something to eat. Go and have a rest. We still need to prepare the distilling flask tomorrow. If you make a mistake again this time, you will only be able to eat bread in the future.”

Hogg curled up and fell asleep quickly after a tiring day, not caring at all that Kalama was beside him.

Seeing that the dog was sleeping soundly, Kalama gradually grew bolder. He stretched out his arms and moved closer little by little. Finally, he hugged the dog and lay on the carpet as well, and pulled the red cloak over to him.

Closing his eyes and recalling the ups and downs of the past two days, Karama gradually found a sense of security and slowly clenched his arms, as if guarding his treasure, and gradually fell asleep.

In her dream, she made a lot of money by making glass, had endless bread to eat every day, and never had to go hungry again. In the end, Hogg became her little brother, and she could spank him if he didn't obey her.

"Hey, I told you to hit me before, but now you are in my hands, you have no choice. Hurry up and behave yourself."

"Crack~"

Accompanied by a crisp whipping sound, the sleepy Kalama saw a dog's face staring at him, with a cane in its hand.

"Hurry up and get up. How long are you going to sleep? How can you sleep well at your age? Get up and work."

Karama, who had something to hide, didn't dare to stay, she wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and stood up. When she saw the dog cape on her body, she felt even more guilty. But soon the guilt disappeared, because Hogg really smoked, dancing with a cane vigorously, and he treated her to countless firewood stews for half a day.

After many twists and turns, amid Karama's wailing, a set of simple glass equipment was finally made. Although she didn't know what these things were used for, she knew that she would finally not be beaten.

Just when Karama thought that Hogg could complete his so-called money-making plan with these glass tubes, she saw a scene that made her collapse.

Hogg waved his dog paws, and the sand originally used as material flew up instantly. With a flash of scarlet light, the sand turned directly into glass tubes, which were many times more exquisite than the ones she made.

"No, you can do this, why do you want me to burn glass so hard? Aren't you bullying an honest person?"

"Ah? You just found out!" The shabby Corgi dog slumped on the recliner opened its mouth slightly, twisting its black and white fur arrogantly, completely ignoring the apprentice's feelings, and just smiled obscenely.

Hearing his brother's dog barking, Dorn stuck his head out and shook his head, thinking that good days were still to come, and that he would see the true face of this dog in the future.

Malaca was at a loss what to do after being tricked. She couldn't fight back and her punches only tickled him. Even her magic, which she was so proud of, didn't work. She could only make a show of smiling and act as the atmosphere. She could only squat in the corner and cry.

But Hogg was so despicable that the more she cried, the more excited he became. He even danced awkwardly while crying and hummed a little song from his hometown.

Hogg, who had just finished his own pleasure, saw that his free labor was still crying. Knowing that he couldn't go too far, he started to deceive again:

"Cry, how can you change? As a great educator, I can't stand bad guys like you. If I hadn't found Old Man Huang, I would have shown you what it means to be a filial son under the stick."

Hearing that Hogg was going to be a disgrace again, Karama quickly stopped crying and asked who Old Man Huang was like a punching bag.

"Old Huang is a piece of scum. We came here just because of this bastard. He even talked about going back to the past to help him. I think he is just bored and his vanity is probably the reason again."

"Yeah yeah!"

Dorn, who suddenly appeared, nodded quickly. Although in his heart his father was still the person he admired most, it did not mean that he was not aware of the Emperor's personal moral flaws. All the Primarchs knew this.

With a common topic, the two brothers started speaking ill of the emperor in the yard, describing him as a sinister villain who bullies the weak and fears the strong, has no bottom line, and is also a complete failure of a parent.

Karama, who had been fatherless since childhood, felt the same way this time. She didn't know why she came into this world, but the hardships she had experienced over the years made her have no good feelings towards the parents who abandoned her, and she also joined in the criticism.

In the end, the topic began to go off track, and three creatures of different species actually talked about how to raise children, saying that if one of them became an emperor, he would be better than Old Man Huang.

"Karama, don't be that kind of scumbag parent in the future! If you become like a yellow-skinned person, I will not let you go."

Karama felt insulted when he was compared to the Emperor, and immediately patted his chest and assured:
"I will never become a yellow-skinned person. If I really become that kind of person one day, I will never make any money in my life, and any business I start will be ruined!"
