A young man wearing a collarless white shirt and a dark black woolen jacket appeared at the entrance of the furniture store, with a pale, beardless face, disheveled hair, and shoes caked with mud as if he had just emerged from a sewer.
As soon as he saw him, Old Master Ronan flew into a rage, grabbing a wooden stick and repeatedly hitting the young man's arms, shouting, "You know how to come back! You know how to come back!"
"Father! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"
The young man cowered and dodged, pleading for mercy.
"Who is he?" Levin asked.
"Raymond Wood, Old Master Ronan's only son."
