Chapter 64 (2)

The overseer answered that question.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

"We don't know the exact background between the two. Although it's hard for us to interfere with the church's affairs, their relationship has been going on for quite some time. Perhaps their relationship with the bank might be deeper than with the lord. Isn't the bank also the one that pays the most tithes in this territory?"

[T/N: tithe - church tax]

The lord vaguely knew this.

He knew that they had been close since their beer business.

Ahem!

The lord, who coughed for no reason, looked closely at the group of seers who had come to him.

Something... the atmosphere seemed unusual.

They couldn't have thought of coming here without being truly crazy or somewhat prepared.

'These guys are not joking right now. It's like they've come to eat me.'

In an attempt to take care of his own people first, the lord calmed his confused mind and spoke.

"So, that promissory note is backed by my promissory note?"

"Yes, that's right."

The lord, who was looking for responsibility avoidance first, frowned and fell into thought.

'It's a really dog-like situation. This is what happens when I use my collateral?'

"Then what's the reason I have to compensate for it?"

The answer to that question was, surprisingly, his own promissory note that he had written to Carter Bank.

"The reason? The reason is right here."

"Why... Why do you have this? This is what I wrote to Carter Bank?"

"Have you forgotten already? Our Gold promissory notes are backed by your lordship's promissory notes. So, instead of gold coins, Carter Bank gave us your lordship's promissory notes, and now all of us here are holding your promissory notes."

"......"

The lord fell silent, at a loss for words.

'Something went wrong. Why...'

With those words, the lord unknowingly shrank back and stepped back.

'These guys...'

The eyes of the seers who had gathered to find their gold coins were quite fierce.

It was obvious what kind of bloody incident would occur if he did not give them the gold coins they wanted right now.

"First, calm down. I will naturally give you the gold coins, so don't worry too much."

The lord, who showed a completely different attitude from when Rockefeller came for the interest, continued his voice in a slightly tense manner to reassure the seers.

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't know, but I have to take care of your gold coins, right?"

The overseer, who had been loyal to the lord until now but realized the lord's incompetence today, was not very pleased with the situation.

Although the lord was like the sky, that was when the lord's authority was still alive.

"We will, of course, take care of our gold coins. But I have one question."

"What are you talking about?"

"Even if you take care of us, what will you do with the rest of the people? Most people in this territory are holding Gold promissory notes. What will you do when they all receive your lordship's promissory notes from Carter Bank?"

"Well..."

It was horrible just thinking about it.

A nightmare-like event.

"Can you handle that?"

After finishing his words, the overseer briefly turned his head and glanced at the seers who had followed him.

Although it was not a small number, it seemed very difficult to suppress all the angry people of the territory who wanted to recover their gold coins with this number.

Control would probably be impossible.

"With us here, we probably won't be able to stop the angry people of the territory who want to exercise their claims against your lordship. No, we would be overwhelmed."

The overseer's gaze gradually grew stronger.

"Of course, calming us down first would be the proper order of things."
