282 282. Grandpa Monk's Letter

"W-What? Wait, I was talking about letting others cook your recipe and sell it." Felix corrected himself while the rest stared at Sylvester.

Sylvester clarified himself quickly. "Yes, I am thinking about buying some land outside the Holy Land and building a big house, with the ground floor being the shop. But I won't run it, and I don't trust any traders. So, I'm going to buy a slave and train them."

"But… A slave? That would tarnish your name, Max." Gabriel warned him.

Owning slaves was not a bad thing for most people. But among the ranks of the Clergymen, it was generally frowned upon since many of the clergy come from humble beginnings. Hence, many of them were anti-slavery. 

Sylvester was also anti-slavery, but he understood well that he held no authority to do anything about it. Though he knew his time would come when he'd stand on some important stage and announce the abolition. But until then, he was a part of the system.
