Chapter 3: Brotherly Argument


Mufasa then heads for work as he walks into the boardroom with his brother Scar.

"OK people, Meeting is about to begin" said Scar.

The two brothers sat on their seats as the meeting started

"Mr Khan, I trust the electricity in the city lights are running perferctly" said Mufasa.

"Indeed sir, We've spend over $40.0000 dollars a month to run this city with electricity and in return our company is going over $5000.0000 in return every month from every company in the city" Shere Khan said with a deep purr in his voice.

"Excellent news, Mr Bagheera, I've heard that the neons at Regent Swan Theatre needs fixing before the opening night of their new musical Dogs before opening night next week" said Mufasa.

"Yes sir, We'll have to pay up to $500 dollars for each neon but the theatre company will pay us back $3500 for the replacement of the neons, Neons are not cheap to replace nowadays sire" Bagheera replied.

"I see, Have they made a purchase order here?" Mufasa asked.

"Yes sir, They're just waiting for you to accept their invoice" Bagheera replied.

"Then tell them I accept it and we'll send the neons by express delivery tomorrow" Mufasa approvingly said.

"You got it sir" Bagheera nodded as he wrote a note down on his notebook.

The red mace lion turns to Beast as he asked

"How is the activity of our employees Mr Beast?"

"Mostly good sir except for one problem" Beast replied.

"And what would that be Mr Beast?" Mufasa asked.

"I shall explain Mufasa, Mr Trusty has a broken leg and as a result, he's slowing the company down" said Scar.

"Well what do you propose we should do about that?" Bagheera asked.

"It's simple...We fire him" Scar replied.

The members of the meeting gasped in alarmed except for Shere Khan who was sitting there in a calm and cold mood.

"But Scar, We can't fire Mr Trusty just because he has a broken leg" said Bagheera.

"If he continues slowing on his work, Then how are we gonna manage with the orders and the bills and everything this company deals with" Scar coldly said.

"Scar, we do not fire people just because they had a broken leg or arm, We give them a break for a while and Trusty was offered to have a break but he chose not to...And do you know why?" Mufasa replied.

"Because he is a old fool with no sense" Scar argued.

"No Scar, He chose to stay because he wishes to remain loyal to us and though we kindly convince to have a break for a week or two, He chose to stay and work for us" said Mufasa.

"Now that's one brave lad" said the Beast.

The others nodded including Shere Khan as he looks at the clock and said

"Pardon me sir but I'm afraid our meeting has gone overtime, It's 10:37am now"

"I see, Very well! Meetings adjourned" said Mufasa.

The others left as Mufasa looks at Scar with a serious look and said

"Scar, May I see you in my office please?"

"Yes...sir" Scar coldly replied.

The two lions enter Mufasa's office as the older lion sits on his seat and looks at his brother and offers him another seat.

"Please sit" said Mufasa.

Scar looks at his brother then to the seat as he then sits down while Mufasa said

"Scar, When I gave you this job at this company, your position was vice president and my advisor but you keep suggesting things that are against our policy"

Scar looked at his brother with a cold look and replied

"What do you mean?"

"For one, Our policy does not included firing people because of their injuries and illnesses when they informed us" Mufasa explained.

"I see" Scar slowly nods as he knew about the policy, he just doesn't care.

"And I keep getting reports of you verbally abusing the employees and threatening them that if they don't do as you demand, You'll fire them or do something worse" said Mufasa as he looks at his brother sternly.

Scar kept his cold look on as he softly replied

"Prehaps I have being a little out of touch with the employees recently"

"Recently? Scar, You do this every time behind my back! When are you going to learn Scar that I am in charge of this company and just because you are the vice president, it doesn't mean you can go around abusing and threatening the employees and take things your way" Mufasa sternly explained to his brother.

"So you're saying everything goes YOUR way?" Scar gave out a low growl.

"Yes Scar, I'm in charge and therefore, what I say goes and if you feel like there is a problem, You come and see me about it Scar and not taking it your own way" Mufasa replied.

"Is that what you say to your little runt in the litter?" Scar angrily asked as he got up from his seat.

"That runt in the litter is my son and your nephew" Mufasa sternly replied as he got up from his seat.

"Oh then I should practise my curtsy" Scar sarcastically replied with a smirk on his face.

He started walking off as Mufasa said

"Don't turn your back on me Scar"

"Oh no, Mufasa, Prehaps you shouldn't turn your back on me like you did with Sarabi" Scar coldly replied with a stern look on his face.

Mufasa angrily storms to Scar and grabs his shoulder and pins him to the wall as he angrily growls

"Is that a challenge?!"

Scar looks at Mufasa coldly and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Temper, temper...I wouldn't dream of challenging you"

"Yeah? Why not?" Mufasa deeply growled.

Scar pushes Mufasa away and fix himself up as he replied

"Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But when it comes to brute strength... I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool"

Mufasa kept his glare on his brother as he quietly yet sternly said

"Leave"

Scar glared at his brother as he left without another word and slammed the office door shut behind him. Mufasa sighs sadly and sits back down on his seat and groaned to himself quietly

"What am I going to do with him?"

He then went to his files and starts working as he presses on the intercom button and said

"Zazu, Could you please make me coffee and bring it over here please?"

He then heard Zazu said back from the intercom "The usual sir?"

"Yes please" Mufasa replied.

"Right away sir" Zazu said as he got off the intercom while Mufasa continues working with his business.


It seems Scar and Mufasa do not get along as brothers
