Chapter 89 (2)

To that question, the entire guild members silently agreed.

From their perspective, there was no reason not to accept it.

After all, this was also up to the guild leader's discretion.

It was a matter they didn't need to worry about.

"Are we good now?"

When Benjamin asked, Bishop Verkis said no more.

As the bishop became quiet, Benjamin's gaze naturally fell upon Rockefeller.

"Well, you've become the guild member you wanted. You must know what to say in that position."

"Of course. I swear to tell only the truth here, in front of everyone and God. I promise that there will be no falsehood in what I say from now on."

"Good, I like that. Now, tell everyone about the foolish and stupid acts you've committed. Tell them how ridiculous it was."

Everything was in place.

With the guardian's consent already obtained, all that was left was the major operation to remove the incompetent guild leader.

Having prepared himself, Rockefeller began to speak to everyone.

"Everyone here knows as well as I do. Our main source of income is the interest income from gold coin loans. Of course, there are other sources such as exchanging gold coins and charging storage fees. We also charge separate fees for gold coin processing. But ultimately, our biggest source of income is the interest income from gold coin loans. You can't deny that."

The guild members gathered in the conference room agreed with Rockefeller's statement and continued to sit quietly, waiting for his next words. Rockefeller continued speaking in the quiet atmosphere.

The guild leader, who had raised his voice for a moment, decided to be more patient and wait a little longer.

'Let's listen to the end. He wouldn't be talking nonsense there, would he?'

As Rockefeller continued speaking, the guild leader tried to be patient.

"I believe there will definitely be victims from this matter. Why? Because with the emergence of interest-paying banks, we will no longer be able to charge gold coin storage fees as we have been doing. People will no longer visit banks that charge storage fees. Naturally, banks without customers will suffer significant damage. So, I sincerely ask you all."

Rockefeller's eyes were burning more intensely than ever.

"From today, please withdraw the outdated business practice of charging gold coin storage fees."

The entire conference room was shocked by the unexpected statement.

It was because Rockefeller's testimony was completely opposite to what the guild leader had said before.

"That is not only a cumbersome shackle blocking our growth, but also, if we continue to insist on that method, we will become the victims I mentioned earlier and won't be able to avoid falling into poverty."

As Rockefeller finished speaking, the entire conference room began to buzz, and Benjamin, unable to bear it any longer, began to raise his voice.

"What is this nonsense! Who told you to say that?"

But Rockefeller showed no signs of backing down.

"And today! I have one more proposal for you all. From now on, please remove that incompetent guild leader! Remove him from that undeserved position right away!"

"What, what did you say? You want to remove me? Who do you think you are! What are you talking about!"

"Guild leader Benjamin is like a frog in a well. He's a foolish and naive person who can't see the bigger picture, only chasing after immediate profits. His only reliable support is his powerful family backing! He has nothing else to offer. As long as someone like him remains in that position, there will be no further growth for the Lyon Guild!"
