....

John couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

This Boss, this man who wielded so much power, seemed to have no sense of care for anyone outside his immediate family. 

It was as if the world revolved around his daughter's whims, while others were expected to endure hardship and injustice.

"Boss, I think this is unfa—"

John began, but his words were cut short.

"What?"

the Boss snapped, his voice like a whip cracking through the air.

His eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint appeared in them.

It was as if John had dared to question the Boss's authority, and the Boss was ready to lash out.

John, however, wasn't one to back down easily.

He straightened his spine, meeting the Boss's gaze with unwavering determination.

"I said, this is unfair,"

he repeated, his voice clear and firm.

  "Sarah, carrying our child, had to endure hunger for hours, yet your daughter can eat whenever she pleases. It's Not Right."

"Not right? This here's my base, partner!"

The Boss roared, his voice a low growl that reverberated through the room.

He slammed his fist on the table, sending a tremor through the heavy wood.

"I built this base for me and my family.
And if you think it's unfair, then git!
Ain't nobody stoppin' ya boy."

He rose from his seat, his imposing figure towering over John.

He leaned forward, his hand gripping the edge of the table, his knuckles white with tension.

"My rules, my way.
My word's the law around here. 
If you and your missus Sarah ain't gonna play by these simple rules, then you two are OUT!"

His words hung in the air, heavy with threat.

John stared back at him, his jaw clenched tight.
He knew the Boss was right.

This was the Boss's domain, and he ruled with an iron fist.

But John couldn't help but feel a sense of outrage. 

Was this really the only way? Was there no room for compassion, for understanding, for basic human decency?

After the long tense silence John finally spoked.

"Very well then,"

John declared, his voice firm.
