Coiling Dragon, I am different and detached

"Yeah."

Gasike nodded and said to the kneeling people: "Get up."

A group of merchants stood up tremblingly, gathered together, and looked at Gasike and housekeeper Lauren with horrified eyes.

As if this would make them feel more secure.

"Bang."

Housekeeper Lauren followed Gasike and threw Nitlang's body in front of the merchants.

After rolling on the ground for several times, Nitlang's body was facing up when it rolled in front of the merchants.

The merchants couldn't help but look at Nitlang with their own eyes.

There were blood scabs on his forehead, some traces of blood on his face, blood foam at the corners of his mouth, and his chest collapsed...

What a miserable death...

"Your Chamber of Commerce found that person for me. According to the task I issued, I will pay you a reward of 100,000 gold coins."

"Well, Lord Gaske, our admiration for you is as majestic as a mountain and as vast as the sea."

"We are happy to serve Lord Gaske, and we don't need any reward."

"Yes, yes, Lord Gaske, we don't need any reward."

After listening to the old man's words, the remaining merchants immediately agreed one by one, as if they were afraid that they would get the same ending as Niterang if they spoke too late.

Gaske frowned and snorted.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you think I can't afford the reward?"

"No, no, no, Lord Gasco, how could you not afford the reward? We just..."

"Isn't that enough?"

Gask interrupted the white-haired old man with a big hand, and said to Butler Lauren: "Lauren, settle their rewards."

"Yes, Lord Gasco."

Butler Lauren bowed slightly to Gasco, came to the merchants, reached out from his arms, took out a purple-gold card, and handed it to the merchants.

"This is the purple-gold card of the Imperial Bank. With this purple-gold card, you can exchange it for 100,000 gold coins in any Imperial Bank."

Butler Lauren's heart was bleeding.

These 100,000 gold coins were collected by the 20,000 gold coins he had saved as a butler for Viscount Gasco over the years, and the 80,000 gold coins he had embezzled from Niterlang's mission reward this time.

Moreover, in order not to reveal the flaw, when Viscount Gaske went to meet Niterlang, Butler Lauren took the 100,000 gold coins to the Imperial Bank in Gemur City to exchange them for purple gold cards.

Unexpectedly, Lord Gaske saw through it in the end.

Butler Lauren knew that Lord Gaske was punishing him by holding the bag of 20,000 gold coins and asking him to pay 100,000 gold coins to these merchants.

If he could not spit out the 100,000 gold coins, Niterlang's fate would be a lesson for him.

"Thank you Lord Gaske for this."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed to Gaske to thank him, and then stretched out his hand to catch the purple gold card in Butler Lauren's hand.

With a little force, the white-haired old man was surprised that he did not pull the purple gold card out of Butler Lauren's hand?

Just as the white-haired old man was about to let go, housekeeper Lauren took a deep breath, pushed the purple gold card to the old man stiffly, then let go and slowly walked towards Gaske.

"Lord Gaske, I have paid their reward."

"Yes."

Gaske nodded, and then said to several merchants: "Now, the transaction between us has been completed, the money and goods are settled, is it okay?"

"Yes, it's okay, Lord Gaske."

Looking at the purple gold card in the white-haired old man's hand, the merchants all breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Lord Gaske is willing to pay the reward for the task, there is a high probability that they can survive.

However, Gaske's next sentence made everyone's heart lift.

"In this case, let's talk about the next thing."

"I think you may all be wondering, since Niterlang completed the task I issued, why did I kill him?"

The merchants looked embarrassed. How do they know why Lord Gaske wants to kill Niterlang?

"Hua La La..."

Gasike threw the gray purse in his hand, and gold coins fell out of it.

"I was delayed because of some things, so I asked Butler Lauren to withdraw 100,000 gold coins from the warehouse to pay for your mission."

"The gold coins here are the rewards that Butler Lauren paid to Niterang. You can take a look."

"This..."

A group of merchants looked at each other, and finally, the older merchant stepped forward and picked up the purse.

In an instant, the white-haired old man's face changed.

The number is wrong!

100,000 gold coins cannot be only this weight.

As a businessman, he often handles a large number of gold coins.

Every year, each person in their chamber of commerce can get at least 2,000 gold coins, which means that the total gold coins handled by the entire chamber of commerce is at least 30,000 to 50,000.

The old man just mentioned it, and he knew that the number of gold coins here was at most 20,000.

The reward of 100,000 gold coins, but in the end, only less than 20,000 gold coins were received...

"So cruel!"

The old man could imagine that if it were him, he would be very helpless to be bullied so blatantly, right?

What's more terrifying is that if Nitlang came out with these 20,000 gold coins, how would he and others deal with him?

By then, this chamber of commerce will not even have the most basic trust foundation. Can the chamber of commerce still exist?

"After I finished the work at hand, I was ready to thank the person who completed my task."

"But I didn't expect that I would be bumped into by this guy as soon as I appeared at the door."

Speaking of this, Gaske also straightened his collar, letting these merchants see his slightly messy clothes after being bumped by Nitlang.

"Hiss..."

After hearing what Viscount Gaske said, how come everyone still didn't know how Nitlang died?

"Lord Gaske, we are very sorry about the matter of President Nitlang."

Obviously, after being tricked by Butler Lauren, President Nitlang was furious and violated Lord Gaske's taboo.

"Yes."

Gasike nodded, and then said to Butler Lauren: "Lauren, for so many years, you have been my butler in my Gemur City, working hard and without complaint, with both merit and hard work."

"I will not kill you for your dedication over the years, but from now on, you are no longer my butler."

After saying that, Gasike walked into the City Lord's Mansion with his hands behind his back without looking back.

But Butler Lauren's face changed drastically.

He never thought that Master Gasike would give up on himself for a mere 80,000 gold coins?

"No, Master Gasike, I was wrong, please give me another chance..."
