章節 145: 143, First Taxation Day (Double Monthly Tickets Requested)

```

Charles handed Louis Simi fifty luxury items and Ross Bard thirty-five luxury items, instructing them to exchange these goods for cash to hire a group of detectives and adventurers with the proceeds.

By now, the fight at Silver Pigeon Fort was over for Charles, and the two men had yet to bring over the detectives and adventurers, which was certainly an issue they couldn't explain away.

As for pocketing the money, that was something neither of them dared to do, no matter how bold.

If Charles had died at Silver Pigeon Fort, neither man would have had to worry, but not only did Charles survive, he also got promoted to the second rank of level 32 common affairs and became a power-holding elite in charge of the Patrolling Army and the Knighthood. Although he was a lower-tier elite, killing two businessmen was as easy as flipping one's hand.
