Chapter 30: Chapter 30 “Deep Blue Jewelry Store” and “Collecting Rent” (Request for Chase Reading)

Translator: 549690339

“Young Master, the internal personnel involved have all been sorted out, and a letter has been sent to Father.”

Hearing William’s words, Milton Cheney gently rubbed his eyebrows.

“Have they paid all the due rent?”

“Some of it has been collected, but several Noble families who run the shops have asked for more time.”

“Hmm, I understand.”

Milton Cheney replies quietly, implying his comprehension.

There was no denying that the Golden Lion Market that his father, Earl Arthur, had entrusted to him was a mess.

While everything seemed well on the surface, the reality was far from it.

Corruption was rampant among the underlings, and slackers lazed about.

A number of shopkeepers in the market haven’t paid their rent for quite a while, too.

These large families could easily afford the rent, yet they still delayed the payment, which was starting to vex Milton Cheney.

Cheney wasn’t sure whether Earl Golden Lion was unaware of the situation or was intentionally testing him. Needless to say, he had been busy recently.

After thoroughly investigating the matters at hand, Cheney realized that he could not entirely blame Earl Arthur for the improper handling of money by his subordinates – Earl Arthur rarely checked financial accounts.

Now, Earl Arthur’s jurisdiction spanned the entire Far East Territory, with Far East City being just a part of it.

The Far East Territory comprised over a dozen separate cities.

As single-handed management was impossible, Earl Arthur had promoted some commoners to assist him.

Among them, Moss had always been in charge of the finances of the Golden Lion Market. Moss’s greed was a clear indication of the prevailing situation.

However, this was not because Earl Arthur lacked judgment. In his early years, Moss had indeed proved to be diligent and committed.

But once a person attains power, they start losing self-control. Moreover, some influential families in the market were involved in these matters as well.
