Chapter 508 Banquet for nobles (8)



They didn\'t know what I had been planning to do, but they never expected to hear something like compensation.

I looked over at Shaka who came over with a scroll.

I took it and opened it in front of everyone to read it, "Though not everything has been investigated, the current situation has determined that the nobles led by Viscount Teomold have cooperated with the Adventurer Guild to rob other nobles. As such, they will receive compensation from these nobles."

The guests that hadn\'t been caught up in this were surprised to hear this, but they were more confused as to what the scroll I was reading from was.

The way that I was reading this, it was almost as if I was reading some kind of message.

But I ignored them and continued, "The compensation will be given in either money or land depending on what is available. If the items stolen can be recovered, they will be returned to their original owners. If they cannot be recovered, the value of these items will be added to the compensation amount."

Then once I finished reading this, I turned the scroll so everyone could see it.

The moment that they did, they all let out a gasp.

That was because they recognized the seal that was on this scroll.

It was the seal of the royal family.

No one could believe that the seal of the royal family was being used in this situation, but there it was in front of them.

There were a few of them that wondered if this seal was faked, but they quickly threw away those thoughts since they knew that this was impossible.

A fake royal seal…that was a crime worse than anything that Viscount Teomold and his followers had done.

They didn\'t believe that Count Zwein would try anything that crazy.

So this seal was most likely real…

They knew he had a connection with the royals since he had stated that he was trading with the royals.

But it was amazing that the royal family would get involved in a small matter like this.

After making sure that everyone had seen the seal, I turned the scroll back so that I was reading it again as I said, "At the same time, all contracts that the involved parties were in has been officially cancelled and they will be offered compensation on this matter."

Only when I finished this did I put the scroll down to look at Viscount Teomold.

When Viscount Teomold saw me looking at him, he couldn\'t help feeling a chill run down his spine. It was as if something bad was about to happen to him.

I walked over to Viscount Teomold and said, "Viscount Teomold, I think that in our contract, we had written a clause about compensation."

Viscount Teomold couldn\'t help revealing a confused look at first since he never remembered anything about this, but then he realized that it must have been in there since the beginning…

That meant that from the beginning, this Count Zwein had been planning for his downfall!

Just why did he do something like this?

He had never met him before meeting him at the auction in the capital, so there shouldn\'t be a reason for him to do all of this.

Seeing that he wasn\'t saying anything, I continued by saying, "As the contract has written, the compensation will be ten times the amount that would have been traded."

Viscount Teomold was immediately pulled out of his thoughts and looked at me with a look of shock and disbelief.

Then he suddenly said, "Where in the contract does it say that!?"

I shook my head and said, "You really should have read the fine print of the contract. It was stated clearly that the compensation would be ten times that of the price that we agreed on. Not to mention, this was set both ways so that I would be the one paying if I broke the contract."

Viscount Teomold\'s expression couldn\'t help changing as he looked at me.

That was because…this was me cutting off any paths for him and his family.

Even if he was executed, it didn\'t mean that everyone in his family would be executed.

Even if they lost their title, they would still have their wealth since it wasn\'t involved in this.

But now, I was also taking away their wealth and making it impossible for his family to survive.

So of course he couldn\'t accept this.

Even if he died, he at least wanted to leave behind some descendants of his family which had been a great noble family that had lasted many generations.

Now, even that didn\'t seem possible.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at me and said, "Please leave a path of life for my family. That is all that I can ask of you."

I shook my head and simply said, "No."

Viscount Teomold\'s face twisted as he said, "Why? Why would you do all of this?"

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, "Ask yourself that in your next life. You should really think about all the things that you\'ve done in this life."

Viscount Teomold revealed a confused look, as if he didn\'t even know what he had done wrong.

But that wasn\'t his fault since this was the behaviour that many nobles had in this world.

It could be said that it was just his bad luck to run into Count Zwein.

Seeing that he didn\'t understand, I nodded at the two guards by his side to take him away.

I also nodded at the other guards restraining the nobles to take those other nobles away as well.

Since they had already received their punishment, they were no longer needed.

Instead, it was time for me to move onto the next part of my plan.

Though the main part of the plan was to condemn Viscount Teomold and these nobles, there was follow up that was needed for this matter.

I couldn\'t just leave things as they were.

I did like nothing today because I was watching AGDQ.
