"Yeah."
gasko nodded and said to the kneeling people, "Get up."
A group of businessmen stood up tremblingly, gathered together, and looked at Gasko and housekeeper Lauren with horror.
As if this could make them feel more secure.
"Bang."
Butler Lauren followed behind Gasko and threw Nitron's body in front of the merchants.
After rolling on the ground for several times, Nitron's body rolled in front of the merchants, facing up.
The merchants couldn't help but glance at Nitron with their own eyes.
There were blood scabs on his forehead, some blood on his face, blood foam at the corners of his mouth, and his chest was sunken...
Such 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 Gasko, our respect for you is as majestic as the mountains and as vast as the sea."
"We are happy to serve Master Gasko without any reward."
"Yes, yes, Lord Gasko, we don't need any reward."
After hearing the old man's words, the remaining merchants immediately agreed one by one, as if they were afraid that if they spoke too late, they would get the same ending as Nitron.
Gasko frowned and snorted.
"What are you doing?"
"You think I can't afford the reward?"
"No, no, no, Master Gasko, how could you not be able to pay? We just..."
"That's all right, isn't it?"
gasko paused for a moment, interrupted the white-haired old man, and said to housekeeper Lauren: "Lauren, settle their wages."
"Yes, Master Gasko."
After Butler Lauren bowed slightly to Gasko, he came in front of the merchants, reached into his arms, took out a purple-gold card, and handed it to the merchants.
"This is the Imperial Bank's Purple Gold Card. With this Purple Gold Card, you can go to any Imperial Bank and exchange it for 100,000 gold coins."
Housekeeper Lauren's heart was bleeding.
These 100,000 gold coins were Colelected from the 20,000 gold coins he had saved from serving as a steward for Viscount Gasko over the years, as well as the 80,000 gold coins he had embezzled from the rewards for this mission from Nitron.
Moreover, in order to avoid exposing any flaws, when Viscount Gasko went to meet nitron, Butler Lauren took the 100,000 gold coins to the Imperial Bank in Golmud City and exchanged them for purple gold cards.
Unexpectedly, Lord gasko discovered his plan in the end.
Butler Lauren knew that Lord Gasko carrying the bag of 20,000 gold coins and asking him to pay 100,000 gold coins to these merchants was a punishment for him.
If he could not spit out these 100,000 gold coins, Nitron's fate would serve as a lesson for him.
"Thank you, Master Gasko."
The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed to thank Gasko, then stretched out his hand and took the purple gold card from Butler Lauren.
With a slight force, the white-haired old man was surprised that he failed to 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, stiffly pushed the purple gold card towards the old man, then let go and slowly walked towards Gasko.
"Lord Gasko, I have already paid their wages."
"Um."
gasko nodded, and then said to the merchants, "Now, the transaction between us has been completed. The money and goods have been settled. Is that ok?"
"Yes, it's no problem, Master Gasko."
Looking at the purple gold card in the white-haired old man's hand, the merchants all breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Lord gasko is willing to pay for the mission, there is a upper probability that he and others will survive.
However, Gasko's next words made everyone nervous.
"In that case, let's talk about the next thing."
"I think you may all be wondering, since Nitron completed the mission I issued, why did I kill him?"
The merchants looked puzzled. How could they know why Lord Gasko wanted to kill Nitron?
"Clatter…"
Gasko threw the gray purse in his hand, and immediately, gold coins fell out of the purse.
"I was delayed due to some matters, so I asked Butler Lauren to go to the storehouse to withdraw 100,000 gold coins to pay your mission remuneration for me."
"The gold coins here are the rewards that Butler Lauren paid to nitron. You can take a look."
"this..."
A group of businessmen looked at each other, and finally, the older businessman stepped forward and picked up the purse.
In an instant, the white-haired old man's expression changed.
Wrong quantity!
One hundred thousand gold coins cannot possibly weigh only this much.
As a businessman, he often handles huge quantities of gold coins.
Each person in their chamber of commerce can get at least 2,000 gold coins every year, which means that the total amount of gold coins handled by the entire chamber of commerce is at least more than 30,000 to 50,000.
The old man only mentioned it once, and people knew that the number of gold coins in it was only about 20,000 at most.
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 if he was bullied so blatantly.
What was even more terrifying was that if Nitron came out with these 20,000 gold coins, how would he and his men deal with him?
By then, this chamber of commerce will not even have the most basic basis of trust. Can it still exist?
"After I finish the work at hand, I will come to thank the person who completed my task."
"I didn't expect that I would be bumped into by this guy as soon as I appeared at the door."
Having said that, Gasko straightened his Colelar to let these merchants see that his clothes were a little messy after being bumped into by Nitron.
"hiss..."
After hearing what Viscount Gasko said, how come everyone still didn't know how Nitron died?
"Lord Gasko, we are very sorry about what happened to President Nitron."
It was obvious that after being tricked by Butler Lauren, President Nitron was so angry that he violated the taboo of Lord Gasko.
"Um."
gasko nodded, and then said to Butler Lauren: "Lauren, for so many years, you have served as my butler in my Golmud City, working hard without complaint, and you have both merits and hardships."
"For all your efforts over the years, I won't kill you. However, from now on, you are no longer my housekeeper."
After saying that, gasko walked into the City Lord's Mansion with her hands behind her back without looking back.
But housekeeper Lauren's face changed drastically.
He never thought that Master gasko would give up on himself for a mere 80,000 gold coins?
"No, Master gasko, I was wrong. Please give me another chance..."
