Chapter 44 Dismissal
"Ah."

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

A group of businessmen stood up tremblingly, gathered together, and looked at Gasco and housekeeper Lauren with horror.

As if this could make them feel more secure.

"Boom."

Butler Lauren followed behind Gasco and threw Nitlang's body in front of the merchants.

After rolling on the ground for several times, Nitrang'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 Gasco, our respect for you is as majestic as the mountains and as vast as the sea."

"We are happy to serve Master Gasco without any reward."

"Yes, yes, Lord Gasco, 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 Nitrang.

Gaske frowned and snorted.

"What are you doing?"

"You think I can't afford the reward?"

"No, no, no, Master Gasco, how could you not be able to pay? We just..."

"Isn't that okay?"

Gasike paused for a moment, interrupted the white-haired old man, and said to housekeeper Lauren: "Lauren, settle their wages."

"Yes, Master Gasco."

After Butler Lauren bowed slightly to Gaske, 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 collected from the 20,000 gold coins he saved from serving as a steward for Viscount Gasco over the years, as well as the 80,000 gold coins he embezzled from the reward for this mission from Nitlang.

Moreover, in order to avoid exposing any flaws, when Viscount Gasco went to meet Niterang, Butler Lauren took the 100,000 gold coins to the Imperial Bank in Gemur City and exchanged them for purple gold cards.

Unexpectedly, Lord Gasike discovered his plan in the end.

Butler Lauren knew that Lady Gasco 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 Gasco."

The old man hesitated for a moment, finally bowed to thank Gaske, then stretched out his hand and took the purple gold card from Butler Lauren.

With a slight effort, 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 Gaske.

"Lord Gasco, I have already paid their wages."

"Ah."

Gasike nodded, then said to the merchants, "Now, the transaction between us has been completed. The money and goods have been settled. Is that ok?"

"Well, it's no problem, Lord Gasike." Looking at the purple gold card in the white-haired old man's hand, the merchants all breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Lord Gasike is willing to pay for the mission, there is a high probability that he and others will survive.

However, Gaske'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 task I issued, why did I kill him?"

The merchants looked puzzled. How could they know why Lord Gasco wanted to kill Nitron?

"Crash..."

Gaske 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 Niterang. 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, being bullied so blatantly, he would probably feel helpless, right?
What's even more terrifying is that if Nitron comes out with these 20,000 gold coins, how will he and others 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, Gaske straightened his collar to let these merchants see that his clothes were a little messy after being bumped into by Nitlang.

"hiss……"

After hearing what Viscount Gasco said, how come everyone still doesn't know how Nitron died?
"Lord Gasco, 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 Lady Gasco.

"Ah."

Gasike nodded, and then said to Butler Lauren: "Lauren, for so many years, you have served as my butler in my Gemur 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, Gasike 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 Gasike would give up on him for just 80,000 gold coins?
"No, Master Gasco, I was wrong. Please give me another chance..."
